Lonely Man

I’ll sing you a song
That’ll move you to cry
Hold your head in your hands
Without asking why
This world as we know it
Can be heartless and cruel
We hide behind cell phones
And keyboards its true
The further I go walking down this road
The less assured of where I am
Everywhere I go doors slammed in my face
Just a lonely man
Just a lonely man
All the while we preach
We’ll be your friend ‘til the end
But the lonely man lays there
No one to comfort him
A bottle for friendship
Or a needle to some
No warmth for many
No love for no one
The further I go walking down this road
The less assured of where I am
I see the face of hate staring down at me
Just a lonely man
Just a lonely man

True

True sadness is a woman
She wraps her arms around you at night
And rocks you to sleep
She whispers lullaby's so sweet
One's I never heard as a child.
Night is always the worst.
The house is empty, quiet and still
Since you have gone.
All the signs you left me
Painted on the walls
Pleading with me
change my Self destructive ways.
I never listened
I never read
And now emptiness
Is my eternal pain.

You and Me

You don't want to know me
You don't want to know my name
You're just looking for someone
Someone that you can blame.
Blame for all the problems in this world
Blame for all the sorrow that occurs
Hunger hopelessness and pain
Does the color of your skin cause you shame.
You can't change history
Just to make yourself feel good
You can't undo the wrong
Done against those who were misunderstood
You can't change the world
Believe me I wanted to
You can only change yourself
Open your heart is all you can do
I don't care what thoughts you think
I don't care what flag you wave
There's no difference between you and me
Open your heart and you will see
Help your neighbor when you can
It'll make you a better man
Remember to fill your heart with love
There'll be no vacancy for hate.

Stan Matthews Worcester, Massachusetts
I’m a solo artist . My music is stark, stripped bare, the lyrics are honest. I sing about life from the perspective of the working man. My songs take you on life’s journey; search for love, joy of a child’s birth,the struggle of relationships, the anguish at the loss of a job, the sorrow at a loved one’s passing. I perform locally and my music can be heard on radio worldwide. ... more
