Song Lyrics:
Ukraine Lullaby
(c)2026 Eric J. Dorer (BMI), All Rights Reserved
Hush my shooting star
There is no time for goodbyes
Papa promises to move Heaven and earth
To be home for the flowers of summertime
Love is never cold
And our memories survive
Sure and certain
Pure and true
Never lost to fate or time
Cold wind
Rain, snow
Fire, ice, pain
Slow march
Still hope
Modest gain
Hold the things you love
Ever precious in your mind
Golden sunlight cleanses sorrow and fear
Leaving hope
To rise from night’s decline
Truth does not grow old
And it overcomes the lie
Stand on wisdom
Walk in truth
And may God become your guide
Cold wind
Rain, snow
Fire, ice, pain
Slow march
Still hope
Modest gain
Hush my shooting star
There is no time for goodbyes
Papa promises to move Heaven and earth
To be home for the flowers of summertime
Rainfall Against a Stone Wall
(c)2026 Eric J. Dorer (BMI), All Rights Reserved
With no regret
And yet with force
The course of…
With no remorse
The source is plain
The rain falls
Rainfall against a stone wall
Slowly to green earth
Rainfall in gentle measure
Priceless treasure… birth
With no remorse
The source
Of earthly life thrives
How a single drop
Can stop
The longing
Rainfall against a stone wall
Power, purpose,
No remorse
Rainfall against a stone wall
Life and power
Run their course
Rainfall against a stone wall
A dance, a chance again
Rainfall with no intention
Comprehension fall again

She’s the kind of girl
I think I should make an effort to meet
But I find myself watching my words
In retreat
Just one clever line might be fine
I tap my feet
No, I don’t believe in chance
I rely upon my God
And He gives me what I need
I can paint the stars in song
Match the rhythm to the rhyme
And this girl is what I see
She’s the kind of girl
Who might be worthy of strings and guitar
Subtle harmonies on the keys,
That’s what you are
Nothing simple
And yet I won’t take this too far
I’ve been all around the world
Spent the summer by the sea
Salt air, taffy,
But what I see in her eyes…
Soft, dark, bright
Chocolate couldn’t be as sweet
Still struggling to find the words
The speech that I left behind
I wonder if you would mind…
Still trying,
Wondering what to say,
Three seconds and she’ll be gone
Would you like to meet me on…
I believe in the beauty and power of love
God, I like to think she’s the kind who also does
She’s the kind of girl
I think I should make an effort to meet
But I find myself watching my words
In retreat
Just one clever line might be fine
I tap my feet
Isla Verde
(c)2026 Eric J. Dorer (BMI), All Rights Reserved
A distant call
Faint, bright,
To pierce the warm, damp night
I see the city lights
Of Isla Verde
Soft rhythm
Steady, certain
Tropic tones
Come, play
Play a tune
Throw a lifeline for this shipwrecked soul
Hold… stay
So much to see and hear
The water turquoise, clear
With food and friendship near
En Isla Verde
A distant call
Faint, bright,
To pierce the warm, damp night
I see the city lights
Of Isla Verde
Soft rhythm
Steady, certain
Tropic tones
Come, play
Grab that lifeline
For a shipwrecked soul
Hold… stay.
