TO BE TODAY

Whatcha going to do when fear is in the way, whatcha going to do is pray
Love comes in and love is here to stay, seems no better way then living in the right here right now is the way…to be today!
Instead of running away it is because of you I stay
You change the way that I look at myself and the world today
And then we agreed that giving love to each can make our fears we have just go away
I’m giving back to the people giving back to the love I came from
Let’s make a difference and love the very best that we can
And yet we must change by changing first ourselves and showing them that we do understand
That love yes we keep seeking love this insatiable love that we get from ourselves as well as from above let’s all keep speaking love most incredible love it’s that four letter word that heals the planet LOVE!
Ladies and gentlemen I’d like to introduce to you the most sensible romantic and not to mention apologetic LOVE!
Let’s show the world by being something different then typical it’s something that you and I yes we can do very well
Because when we see that being real is freedom we can touch their lives and when they plead for answers we can sit and listen and remind them of the great big love that’s coming their way
Are you tolerant and empathetic?
Are you modest and dependable?
Are you polite and reflective?
Are you loyal and considerate?
Are you forgiving and compassionate?
Are you reciprocating and grateful?
(What you going to do when fear is in the way if love is what you are then what you need is yourself do not forget to love yourself)

GOT LOVE

Let’s speak the words to the parents that will preach
To their kids that are freaks just because they’re different
Doesn’t really matter what they say what they see are their children in the mirrors of their own society
Black white doesn’t matter, gay straight, thin or fatter
When love is the answer got no more fears GOT LOVE!
Let’s speak the words to the couple on the streets who have got to be discreet just so they don’t have to be looked at laughed at, anywhere they are starred at
Let’s not be missing that the problem is beneath the skin
Black white doesn’t matter, gay, straight, thin, or fatter
When love is the answer, got no more fear…Got Love!
Rich, poor, what’s it to you tall, short, see right through you
When you live in fear, it brings me to tears so GET LOVE!  Love When you’re living in fear. Get Love!
Take it down now. Let’s speak the words the words of LOVE.
Let’s speak the words to the president that brings to our country that will sing every mountain high let freedom ring
I cannot wait for the day that we see all the people living together in perfect harmony
Black white doesn’t matter, gay, straight, thin, or fatter
When love is the answer, got no more fear…Got Love!
Rich, poor, what’s it to you tall, short, see right through you
When you live in fear, it brings me to tears so GET LOVE!

I want my children to live in a world where hate is so little

I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME

I thought you loved me I thought you cared
You broke the piece in me I’ve got to repair and I’m lonely feeling lonely
What interaction can you get from the type of person who cannot commit?
Guess they’re lonely feeling lonely too ..dang it, dang it, dang it

Take a look around, look what I have found thought you were all right
Love me for a day hoping that you’d stay more then just one night..thats right!
I thought I got it , this time I thought I’d know, the difference from what’s good and bad so I’d be first to go but it was me who was let go first…what is it with this , man I thought I learned my lesson, I’m caught up in the tidal wave I think that I can drown
Doesn’t feel good and I want to feel good    Dang it..dang it..dang it

Take a look around, look what I have found thought you were all right
Love me for a day hoping that you’d stay more then just one night.
Take a look around, look what I have found I thought you were all right
Love was in the air hoping that we’d share more then just one night ..dang it!
I thought you loved me but dang it!

Another reason, another truth, another red flag means I cannot be with you yes it’s lonely but at least I still have myself.

LET LOVE IN

Goes with out saying that I know my love for you is that I show
You rather then tell you it’s true actions speak louder yes they do
But if I sing the words in song will it remind you all night long how much my love for you is real you know exactly how I feel..
you give your love to me
And I’m so grateful I met you

To love is recognizing me in you and you in me let’s see
Hold up the mirror we can view healing from all past issues
I’m learning slow and learning fast to put a smile that’s going to last
It is easier said then done let go the dark here comes the sun
You give your love to me..and I’m so grateful I met you

Take it from me when
When I say I feel safe know that I’m not afraid to let love in and
And I know it feels great to let love in fear goes away
Every time I love I feel much more awake. Love is so great!
Love should be easy…love shouldn’t be so hard
Love can be healing…just let your guard down and
Let’s put our hands up in the air
Surrender love will take you there
It is my message here to you
Let love in and you’ll feel it too
I’m learning slow and learning fast to put a smile that’s going to last
It is easier said then done. Let go the dark, here comes the sun

IF PRAYER

Sometimes I think if I had more love from day one
If I’d still be here doubting myself
I know I’ve picked some doozies in my life
It’s like starving to eat and what’s left is the dirt off the ground
Sometimes I wish I’d be more like you even though most times I like being myself
I know it’s the journey that I’m on it’s all right it’s ok if I’m feeling this way

If prayer is you really talking to GOD
It seems we do all the talking the talking
If prayer is you really talking to GOD
Then listen to your gut  cause GOD is talking to you

It’s time I start listening to myself so no more
Deny or justifying the signs
I know that if it’s bad it won’t last because this is the song that keeps it where it belongs the past.
Sometimes I get a feeling that burns and many times I brush it off that it is fear
Hindsight is that I see it clearly now that it was my inner voice talking loud and clear.
Sometimes I forget and slip off of the path
But now I know better how to stay on
If I can get quiet enough and listen

FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

Every time I close my eyes I see your face
Looking down at my heart left with an open space
We used to laugh we used to cry without any fears
And promises we made are now words that seem to fade on through the years
Who says we can’t be together in our hearts
Holding tight that’s the way it should be
Cause I really want us to fall in love again
Two people with nothing then given something to love
Yes I really want us to fall in love again

No words can show the hearts sorrow one feels inside
I hope time will heal the pain and our love can be again too strong to die
Who says we can’t be together in our hearts holding tight that’s just the way it should be

WHEN WE DANCE

When we dance and we can’t find the music
Close our eyes and rely on the circle of love
In a trance, from romance, and it feels like our life’s been enhanced
Taking it slow now here we go, diving into a world of new chance
And it’s unknown from never shown what it means to be loving
And being real is so ideal when you find it you don’t let it go
See us there as we stare into the moonlight at time square
With the lights, the noise so loud, it’s just your face that I see in this crowd and what
I feel is so surreal and was so damn worth the wait so let me show just where to go
Back to our room to make love and….

We move our hips so we touch our slips slow
Close our eyes and rely on the circle of love

MY INSPIRATION

I remember when I was just a boy who was trying to trust
The world around me and who was in it
What I found was so profound the people that were all around were the teachers that helped me on my journey

What was a boy to do living with a father who did not know love or how to be a dad
Now that I’m older I can learn to heal can learn to cry while living with myself it aint so bad
You’re my inspiration that keeps me alive
Won’t you try to pass the candle that burns deep inside

Let us make the world today a better place for the human race to inspire someone else like you have me
Won’t forget where I came from where I have been what I have learned what keeps me striving to be a better man is
Love love I give you love this four letter word from up above it is something the world needs so much more of
Who I am is just a man trying to help trying to plant the seed for someone else to grow it   reach down into your heart begin today begin to start to love one another so someone else can show it

TAKE

Take the moon, take the stars, take away the night
Take the gloom and the doom it will be all right
Take away all the fame it will just be fine
Take a look at my glass, I may need some wine
Take a look at the clock it’s a quarter to nine
I am late gotta run I’ll be back in time
You can take take take what is yours ain't mine
Just as long as you don’t take away my sunshine

Situation of a boy who is feeling blue
Is now a man who’s got a heart big enough for two
I’m not a preacher just a teacher who has got a few new songs
And it feels so damn good…to play them for you

Take the gray take the dark take away the white
Take the hate bring the love in and I just might
Take the mean take the kind still I’ll be polite
Take the house take the car do you think I’ll fight
Take my name take my cash take another bite
Wait a minute Mr. Sad take my advice
You can take take take what is yours ain't mine just as long you don’t take my sunshine
Situation of a boy who is feeling blue
Is now a man who’s got a heart big enough for two
I’m not a preacher just a teacher who has got a few new songs
And it feels so damn good…to play them when you're down
Bring it on sun!
Take the whole, take the half take the very few
Take the page , take the book and the story too
Take the stretch of the truth, take the untrue
Take the ink underneath, take the tattoo
Take the hide, take the seek hope I find you
I am me, we are we so let’s review
You can take take take what is yours ain't mine just as long as you don’t take away my sunshine.

OUR WEDDING SONG

You and I we’ve been through many things that made us stronger and the times we said goodbye, we kept on coming back to what we wanted you and I
And here we are with friends and family gathering to watch us as we cry
With tears of joy that remind us who we are and where we were
Well we share this night together we’re both in this forever so let’s write it on the walls
Carry on, the night is long, and you and I were never wrong to rewrite the version of our wedding song
Take the time, to cherish all the good things in each other while we laugh
And all the stupid silly things we do sometimes to cover up when what we really want is just that special hug or some kind of reminder that the love is truly strong
Well we’re both in this together a feeling that we treasure
So let’s write it on the walls
Carry on, the night is long, and you and I were never wrong to rewrite the version of our wedding song  
Once upon a time has gone but you and I, yes we belong, together we will rewrite our wedding song
All the good times that we have always make up for the bad
Must have been a good time to forgive
We took a look inside ourselves and now we hear those wedding bells
Dwelling on the more positive
So here we are, we stand in front of one another vowing to be faithful
My one true love the one that I will cherish more each day
Then the day I did before, the one that I will trust and show respect in everyway
We share this night together, we’re both in this forever, a feeling that we’ll treasure
through the good times and the bad

SMALL PERCENTILE

People who don’t find love may feel a tragedy
They say it is better to love then to never have loved at all
If there is someone out there for everybody then where is the
Person who’s looking cause I might be looking away ..today

I’ll love myself while I can’t find jack and the people out there all know it’s a fact
That I’m in the small percentile of people that understand me

Look within yourself enough for the reasons so that finding the love outside of yourself is ok
I know what that’s like and I’ve been there despite of the feelings
I’m hoping to receive so now I believe I will stay..eh…and
Love myself while I can’t find jack and the people out there all know it’s a fact that I’m in the small percentile …of people that understand me , myself and I don’t know why , why the people out there continue to lie I’m in the small percentile of people that understand.
Let me show how love can grow
And turn your life into a pot of golden moments
Where you can dance like nobody is watching
Make a goal to save your soul from the ones that are no good
So you can, yes you can, feel that Kundalini
deep in side.

People know me as somebody who is trying
To help other people while helping myself is ok
Everybody wants to be loved so surrender the feeling
Tall dark and breathing will someone please lead me the way…till then I’ll

OUT FROM UNDER

Said you will ...but you still didn’t even once acknowledge me
I stood there alone
But last night ...it felt right...until you were all done with me...
My heart turned to stone

You told me I was your man…right down to the bitter end
How can you tell me all this…without the feeling

Chorus
Without you, man I thought I was nothing
Without you, man I thought I would die, from a broken heart and
Without you, man I thought I would crumble from the words that you said…, “goodbye”
But I’m coming out from under
Yes I know I must go…and so must you but underneath…
I wish I could stay…
For a while, what’s a while…while lying there right next to me
For one more evening

Well I guess you’re just like them all
You keep me climbing the walls
Trying to figure you out...
Oh, what a pity

Chorus
I got news for you…It didn’t happen yet

You told me I was your man….right down to the bitter end
How can you tell me all this…without the feeling
I guess you’re just like them all
You keep me climbing the walls
Trying to figure you out...

Oh, what a pity….Chorus

AUTHENTICITY

I will tell you no lies…don’t read between the lines …..Because there ain’t no lines to read………..Cause what it is you see..is what it is you get..anything less..
Would aggravate my soul…

Chorus 1

I just want to be living a life of peace and harmony
It’s something someone said once to me..
It’s all a part of my authenticity.

I feel scared some of the time
But I’m ready to unwind so don’t you aggravate me…cause
I’m done with feeling shame, well this rhyme ain’t no game…well it’s plain
And simple just like me..cause what it is you see..is what it is you get..and
Anything less….would aggravate my soul…

Chorus 2

I don’t give a damn..
As long as I am true to who I am..
It’s something somewhat sacred to me..
It’s all a part of my authenticity..

I will tell you no lies….don’t read between the lines..
Because it aggravates me..
I wont settle for less…no time to regress ….so take a guess..
Who inspires my soul..well, it comes from up above ..and it speaks from love..
So go and aggravate some..
Inspirate some..intoxicate..
someone else!

PEACE OF ME

Fortune, no reason, why I play the fool
Scars don’t ignore me ...from failing emotional school.
If you come to stature …without any crime.
Look who spent the time.
In my house...in my life.

We’ve been through so much
The ups and the downs...
Now look who hears music...
Music without the sound…
Reason …more reasons...layers upon this frown...
Look who’s in the lost….and not found...

Chorus
Yeah, yeah, yeah…..we spun around together
Like earth to sun...
Now that we’re not together...
A peace of me is gone...

Hard to ignore them...
These feelings, I’ve tried...
It’s the path that I’m on...
It’s the space that I occupy...
Reason, more reasons...to play somebody’s fool...
Looks like I was the one…who was cruel…

Chorus
It’s been so long...
Since the last I heard from you…
Is it so wrong, so wrong to still be missing you...
Sometimes I think I really blew it...
Chorus

SOMETHING INSIDE

I’ve been thinking about you...
 yes all this time…
And it’s time…
To get you down on the dance floor so you can be mine...
Yes be mine…
come on …give it one more try…

Loving you is a feeling I can’t deny….although I’ve tried
Your sexy beat and your rhythm...
Keeps me satisfied…satisfied

Chorus

As for the rest of me...there’s something inside (of me) you’ll see

I’ve got this picture, a perfect you in my eyes…but disguised…by fear of love and commitment…you’re just about to say your good-bye’s...

Chorus

Am I worth the wait?
I hope so…
Is finding true love...that outrageous
So let’s be …who we are…
Your beauty on the inside is…Contagious

GUILT AND SHAME

Let’s take a walk down my past and see
All the people still staring at me
I close the window so fast
Thank God for miracles...

Let’s take a walk down another street
Where the people all feel complete.
It’s a different path that I see...I believe I will try...

I take my love and a whole lot of faith…
And my plan for my escape

Chorus
On the streets of guilt and shame
You won’t find...you won’t find my name
Cause I don’t live there anymore

Like a frame on a movie screen
Where the actors are playing a scene
A scene I played in the past...
Was insecure Mr. Stevens...

And there are times when I still get mad
Cause I grew up without a dad
But, I still find myself singing…and searching for the reasons…
I was like a month without a season…

A life that was filled with a whole lot of pain
Is now a trip down memory lane…

Chorus
On the streets of guilt and shame
You won’t find...you won’t find my name
I took my life in the ball and chain
Responsibility without the blame
(but then I broke free from the pain)
On the streets of guilt and shame
You won’t find...you won’t find my name..

Cause I don’t live there anymore…

BE REAL

Who ever said finding love would be easy…
I never thought finding love would be this hard…
Night after night, I’m in those no end situations…
Guess I’m tired of me putting up my guard...

I never learned how to hide what I’m feeling
It always burns me when I have to play the game
So let us try to be more in touch with our emotions...
Come on take off your mask in...life’s masquerade

And (just) (so) be real…yes be real...
Cause I’m tired of your inconsistencies...
Ain’t it hard to be something that you really aren’t…
so be real…yes be real...
and your love keeps playing tricks on me...
Even though I know, what you do to me…makes me strong
You say that you’ll call me…but I’m the fool sitting by the phone...
Waiting for something, that really ain’t nothing but the unknown...
I guess its just another lesson…yes, another way I have grown...
Well I know there is someone out there, than what life has shown.

Chorus

Talk to me...
Feel with me...
Love made us strong...
While you just tell me, you just tell me anything you want...
Well I’m tired of your sympathy, while your empathy is none
To be something else…than myself…in it’s self…yes, to me there’s something wrong…

Just be real…yes be real
Cause I’m tired of your inconsistencies...
Even though I know what you do to me…
Makes me strong.

HOW LONG AM I SUPPOSE TO BE ALONE?

That’s my life
Behind closed doors
Live and learn so I can…cry some more
It’s that pain…running through my vein
It’s a wonder I survived.

I hear the radio on …beside my bed
And it’s playing that same sad song.
My doctor told me to be taking these meds...but my gut is telling me it’s wrong.

I’m alone in bed
How my life is sad...
well how am I suppose to live without you?
feels like I’ve been had…now this boy’s gone bad..
How long am I suppose to be alone?  (that’s right)

There I hide…upon that stage…
Playing music even at my age...
It’s that fame that calls my name
Makes aloneness feel alright...

My friends have told me that it’s just a phase…
And it probably won’t last long…
It’s been a year ago, one month and a day…
So tell me phase, when will you be done?

Chorus

You set the stage of perfect memories…yet I’m still searching for the sunshine...
Those sunny days are now far in between
Who cares who’s wrong or who’s right?

Lying on my side, lying on my bed
Still thinking about those words you said
It’s a lonely place and a lonely time.
Cause it’s you I still got on my mind...

 I hear the radio on beside my bed
And it’s playing that same damn song.
My doctor told me to be taking these meds
But my gut is telling me it’s wrong...

Chorus

IF YOU'D BE WITH ME

I’ve been down the road less traveled
You ain’t even on my path
Well I’ve been hoping at least you’d be on my entrance ramp

Don’t lead me on …don’t lead me on …don’t leave me hanging either
If you knew then what you know now…we’d still be together...

Every time I think about you, every time I dream about you...
My hand gets wet…all the things I ever think about us when it comes to mind is the good and not the bad

If you’d be with me
Would I feel complete?
Or is it coming from the old mouth of my...insecurity

Well I’ve been feeling lonely lately
Yes I’ve been feeling blue.
Mostly when my thoughts are on…if I’m ever gonna find someone out there who’s just like you
It’s that voice, inside my head, that tells me that I’m alone
So the next time that voice rings me up…I won’t dare pick up the phone...
Don’t treat me wrong, don’t treat me wrong, don’t treat me like nothing either.
While yes, you are without me…at least I know more about me…

Then summer comes and winter comes and no one comes and I don’t come
To my own defense…it’s times like these I wish I had a better this a better that and my life made more sense

If you’d be with me
Would I feel complete?
Or is it coming from the old mouth of my insecurity? If you’d be with me and I made you mine...    
Would we have the same feelings that we once left behind.

SOUL DRIVER

I’ve been down that road before…
A dark and foggy space…
A space where I’ve been told...
To shed some light and grace…

So I ask for sunshine…
Upon the shadow
To get to the soul.
In the eyes…there’s a window…

Soul Driver
Take me to my house of love…
Soul Driver
Take me to my house of love…

Yeah, I’ve taken wrong turns...
Stumbled upon my missing link...
And I’m trying real, real hard
To change how I think…

Soul driver
Take me to my house of love
Soul driver
Take me to my center of one
Where there is humbleness
And forgiveness
Take me to my house of love.
Soul driver
Take me to my house yeah...
Lead me back home.

A menace to myself
While others feel complete
It’s an issue of control
While in the back seat.

ANOTHER REASON

If you go breaking my heart I’m leaving...
It’s been broken before and I’m healing…
It’s like taking the air that I’m breathing...
So don’t go breaking my, breaking my...breaking, breaking yeah..

Don’t go breaking my heart, I’m leaving
Don’t go breaking the faith...cause I believed in you.
Open up myself for receiving…
Perhaps now is the time to be giving you….

Chorus
Another reason to love...
Another reason to kiss…
Another reason to satisfy me…
Another reason to try…
Another reason for bliss...
Another reason to rectify me…              

It’s not the place or the time to be preaching
When the student is ready…will I be teaching you?
It’s the soul and the heart in the meaning...
I guess time then will tell…let’s just see again.

I’ve been trying to trust what I’m feeling...
It’s a question of when I am me again...
Lying here in the dark I’ll be seeing...
If it might be the you I’ll be giving...

Chorus

Yeah…Yeah...you know your in my heart I’m feeling
Yeah ...Yeah...you know your in my soul I’m feeding…
So don’t go breaking it...

ROSES

Hopelessly I sit and ponder
Whether I should stay or wonder off
Into the other fields of opportunity

To kiss your lips was such a pleasure
Love for you is hard to measure
Could I find another you...deep inside of me?

I feel alone in myself…every time that I think of you being with somebody else

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You were the one I wanted too
Even though I know I couldn’t have you

Will it be you that I forsake?
Will my heart be the one...
who breaks your antique looking picture hanging on my bedroom wall?

and, if I care to leave this table
That’s ok ..cause I’m more stable
And I don’t need you the way I needed you before

But I must remember when it aches,
Not to think it was me and not you that made this mistake.

Chorus

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You were the one I wanted too
Even though I know I couldn’t have you.
If you should care,
I will be gone,
You were the one I counted on
Even though I know I couldn’t be there.

Tell me that you will remember
Love we shared until December
Who will send me roses to help me get over you?

I feel alone in myself…every time that I think of you being with somebody else.

Chorus

SAY WHAT YOU WANT

I’ve been to hell and back
My hearts been attacked
It’s my retribution

I’m here and still intact
Yeah, it’s quite the fact
Where did I go wrong?

I know the lesson here
Is not to live in fear
In this institution

I find the best of love
Will be coming next
In my life sequel

Chorus
Say what you want..
Say what you really need
Please no guessing games
And let GOD take care of the rest

If you answer my prayers..
Yes, then I will swear
To make a resolution

With myself it will be to listen
More and more to my heart ..yeah

No more beating up myself
For things in life that I cant control
Some people they might act mean…
But as (MT) Mother Theresa said…still be kind anyway
Chorus

RAP PART:
If the message here is all about love, then let’s sing songs baby...yeah all about love, with no more contemplating or complaining...yeah just entertaining…ascertaining….

I am yes, what I am ..if you go examine my evolution
You’ll find no explanation , in my formation …I wrote this song
Without the aggravation, it’s my foundation that plays a part in this..
Quick fix, there ain’t no  tricks..

No more love 'em and leave 'em stay out of those chat rooms..

TAKING CARE OF ME

Well, I guess you don’t know who I am
I guess you don’t know who I’ll be…
Something inside of me, still is discovering..
Who is the right one for me…

Well, I guess you don’t hear what I say...
I feel like we’ve been there before...
What kind of dagger would feel without anger
And still think there is love underneath...

Hopeless devotion, you thought set the motion…
While I’m still here, recovering.

Well, I guess you don’t know who I am
It’s all been a question of when…
What you thought was cowering to me was empowering...
Feeling uncomfortably?

Now I can be what I’ll be...
100% percent guaranteed...
You were so hovering
While I was discovering me, was the one with the need.
No more of fixing your emotional bee sting cause now I’m taking care of me...

I guess you don’t know who I am
And probably won’t care to see...
It’s just some confusion, my favorite illusion
When you think, you understand me...
My type B behavior will no longer save you
Cause again, I’m taking care of me!
I’m taking care of me!

A TOTALLY NEW SENSATION

So if it's love or if it's bliss
to feel the softness of your lips
I am not afraid of what people say
And if it's right or if it's wrong
Well I don't care if I belong...
I am not afraid of you
This totally new sensation

So many times a day I have you in my thoughts
and I find
You inconspicuously hanging from my mind
For not too long or not too short oh yes,
it's just about right
In my possession as I write this down

Some only dream, while others
make their dreams reality
A feeling one might like to get to know
As seen in photographs and heard
in conversations with you
A grand desire plan to let myself go

All we need is LOVE.....LOVE
It's all about LOVE.....LOVE
If it's all about LOVE.....LOVE
Then let's talk about LOVE

Let us commemorate and celebrate these feelings.... at ease
It's an incision break of unity inside
Like Ellen's generous to Ms. Etheridge and Ms. Lang
I think it's just another way to let themselves show

BEEN THINKIN’

I sent you love every time that you were feeling down...
I took a taxi drive in the direction going down town..
I still have that photograph picture of you...
in my mind ...yes, I do
Melt down, break down, talkin all words about you...
...uh..huh..
Oh, I've been thinkin'

I don't know why the cows are tippin
I don't know why the sky turns gray
If I had a dime for every time I thought about it a day.

I saw a man dressed as Santa Claus on a bus...
You know the yellow ones
He took a drive down memory lane for a few...
drinks that is..
Oh, he's been thinkin

Well, he don't know why the cows are tippin
Like I don't know why the sky turns gray
If we had a dime for every time
we thought about it a day
Well, I can't sleep while the beds are burning,
I tell the truth, when a lie has been told
I wanna live the crazy life with you
before I start getting old.

I took a drive in a 1956 Chevrolet...
you know the Bel air one
Now illustrated by a custom colored
dark blue pattern cloth ...uh huh..
And you know there is something,
there is something about you that makes me feel good
My favorite season is the fall, when the leaves fall,
those leaves fall down ...uh huh..
Oh, I've been thinkin...way too much!

SPIRITUAL

I cant' deny
I too should try
Don't go to sleep
Let's talk about...........us

Flame burning low
With no where to go
Except out and
We know that we don't want that

Have I lost the ritual
Have I lost the spiritual
Raise a little love that makes you feel good
Raise a little love that we've all had
I don't need a written resolution
To define that your sad

Time ticking fast
Why can't it last
How can it be
That we worry about the past

Come to me close
Now come a little bit closer
Don't go to sleep
Spoon with me for a while........for a while.......for a while.....

FORGIVENESS

As we now enter the new millenium
There is a conscious global change
A precious gift that we are all searching for
As we all learn to love ourselves

When we start taking more responsibility
And no more playing the blaming game
A time when we all come together now
We are one, all the same

How do we learn the word forgiveness?
When we can't even forgive ourselves

Harbor hate when we can chose love
The choice is always ours to make
A new beginning starts with here and now
When we all learn from our mistakes

KARMA

See my life on the silver screen
I play the hero
Sometime a Fiend
I know your watching from outerspace
Leave the light on ...so I can see your face

I've been lonely.... feeling blue
I've been lied to ...and I've been used
But now that I'm at another place
I've chosen forgiveness... and now my angels are...
jumping...
All my life I've been alone
And now I'm feeling love
And I just wanna ....Share this with you
No more crying over this
Or crying over that
Yes, I just wanna ....share this with you
Karma sends you all what you're thinking about

I've been wasting too much time
Dwelling over the past and I'm
Moving forward at a slow pace
I've chosen love and now my angels are...
jumping... over my face... over disgrace

Now There's a time
And a place
Where love and hate meet face to face
And you know... love will win...
Cause hate belongs with sin
While karma sends you all what you're thinking about

WHEN LOVE COMES BACK AGAIN

We found our way to make it
Make it through the night
Our bodies lying naked
In our house we find .....

Making love without regrets
And breaking plans we made
When we need them
Open up our hearts to find
that love comes back again

We vow to stay together
Make it work this time
No more of those broken promises
Yes, they are truly lies
 
So if we leave this love we'll find regret
By breaking plans we made when we need them
Love feels truly right this time
and  love comes back again!
So if you love something let it go
It doesn't belong to you
So if you love something .....then you'll know
If it comes back to you

Now that we stay together
We must compromise
Remember when we first kissed
we must find the way to the heart

MISSING YOU

Sent letters from above now
Are crumbled up and thrown against the wall
New visions of forgiveness
In missionary positions /
2nd x ( in doggie style positions)

Let's take another chance
At this romance
And rearrange
What love is meant to do
Take another look at what we've done let's be at one
Cause
Id be missing you...

Take time with a stranger
If you don't understand
To fall in love can mean danger
If you don't understand
Although you know it's better than before
Take another look inside yourself some more

JUST AS WELL

You blew me a kiss just the other day
I caught it with my hand, held it close to my heart
Opened my hand and dropped it.....shit

Woke up the next morning with nothing to say
So I put on my shoes, my coat and my hat
To look for that kiss that you blew to me where is it?
Can someone help me right now....

Why, do things happen like this
when I think things are going so well

I walked down the street on a cloudy day
I saw a big ditch and I fell into it.....shit

You told me you loved me the other day
So I called you last night on the phone
Then someone else picked up
Someone else answered
Who was it....tell me right now....
Why, do things happen like this
when I think things are going so well

You blew me a kiss just the other day...
I caught it with my hand, held it close to my heart
Opened my hand and there it was.... yes

I walk down the street on a cloudy day
I see a big ditch but this time I walk around it

A PLACE THAT I CALL HOME

I go to work today with hopes to find a way
Longing for the things I need in time will come way
Remember yesterday,
running with the boy inside of me
I'm so afraid,
I'll never find a place where I belong

You were the only one that I could find
I need someone to show me
How I can  find myself and learn to love
deep down inside my skin 
Sometimes it's hard to tell if I will find
the time to sleep with peace of mind
Do I belong where I am now?
I'm searching for a place that I call home

I woke up the other day
with hopes to find a way
To tell the truth
I've got to tell myself to stay away
from all the lies I keep inside myself today
Searching for a place that I call home

THE ONLY WAY TO YOU IS THROUGH ME

Separate my heart
When I'm with you
Although, it hurts me too much to
Think about what you said it's inside of my head
Although, I know that it made you cry

So if I fall down, I'll get back on my knees
And if I leave town... I'll try to find my way back
If you stick around... I promise I will give what you need
Cause the only way to you is through me
Yes, I know I've sinned
For I'm only human... so why
Why can't you forgive me?
So by now you should know
That I cannot let go
So why can't we make it up through the night?

I've been alone
All by myself
Although, I'd rather not be
To be alone
Although I can
Where I'm not dependent on you
To be alone all by myself
I'm not sure that's what I want
To be alone, To be alone... who really wants to be alone

Separate my heart from my head when I'm with you
And things will work out some how
Just as long as I know that you're still there
We can make it through this night

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

He takes control of you only when he wants to
He keeps on picking at you ...just because he wants to
He drives you mad baby and you know he wants to
Come take my hand baby only if you want to

I'll send you kisses baby only if you want to
Bouquet of flowers if and only you would care
I'd play my music for you only if you'd listen
I'd even hold your hand in public everywhere

So if you're tired of the people that you hang with
I know it's scary when you think you're all alone
But if you learn to love the person you're alone with
That's when I welcome you into my circle of friends

Well, it's your life... do with it what you would want to
It's not your destiny to be with him
So if they judge you by the certain friends you keep
Well then it's time that you find another friend

They always say that he's being condescending
He keeps on lying and he tells you what to do
So if you need another shoulder than to cry on
That's when I welcome you into my circle of friends

Let's not pretend baby that it doesn't bother you
I understand and it's only cause I care
If he's a real man then maybe he would listen
It's time you find out what you want, find out what you need, find out who you are
