English lyricist working with dozens of composers and artists
I am a lyricist working with many composers and artists around the world and most frequently with 2 guys, Juri Rosenfeld and Mark Ellis who, although their styles are entirely different, are both extremely talented as musicians and composers, as well as producers. Along with these two, with whom I have written more than 50 songs....I have been most fortunate to collaborate with so many others that the list is almost endless but two very talented ladies spring to mind: Dawn Diamond and Amy Caldwell, who have not only both composed for my words but have also both are possessed of beautiful voices and have sung many, many times on songs I have written. There is no ONE genre I write for, since a lyricist has to be able to write for ANY category and I do, but one thing I try to be always, is honest in my work because when there is integrity, there is a way to relate to the song and if occasionally I meander into the poetic, it is because I am and always have been, since the age of 13 years, a poet...but that doesn't mean everything I write is flowery or full of metaphors...as I say, I strive always to be real and of course, most importantly, to be as unique as possible.

Story behind the song
Heard this piece of music and was inspired.
Lyrics
Calculating V1. The man crouched in the doorway is poison to your eyes his hand may reach toward you no doubt you'll analyse you'll calculate his honesty by the scuff marks on his shoes and write him off as a loser with nothing left to lose V2. The child who steals an apple to ward off hunger pains might strike you just as greedy as he devours his gains you'll calculate his honesty but does he wear a mask do you wonder if he's just a thief who takes but doesn’t ask rpt V2 ch but just suppose you turn away offended by the sight when a coin or two might give him hope to make it through the night. how can you face the mirror knowing his fate rests with you how can you face your conscience when there's more that you could do? what can we do? rpt V1 and V2 ch but just suppose you turn away offended by the sight when a coin or two might give him hope to make it through the night how can you face the mirror knowing his fate rests with you how can you face your conscience when there's more that you could do? what can we do? what can we do? outtro The world is full of strangers and maybe some who cheat but if we turn a blind eye to the needy on the street can we ask forgiveness of ourselves, and sleep in peace and who are we to pass judgement on our fellow man? we balance on the thinnest line
