What Can One Person Do
(n. rodgers/g. smith)
What can one person do
More than a little bit
More than a little bit
Can I fight the battle
All by myself
Can I make a miracle happen
As long as I can think
And got my health
Ill never stop
Im too strong for that
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
Everyones gotta move
What they can move
The faithful can sometimes move mountains
When your faith is right
You will never lose your heart, your hope
Or your good friends
Dont be overcome by frustrations
Live up to your highest expectations
Im tellin you just for your information
Just for, just for your information
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
Looked into my soul and suspected
That Im gonna take, gonna take on the unexpected
Walked into the fire unprotected
Walk into the fire
What can one person do
What can one person be
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me

The Battle
You shall not have hinder gods (elohim) at all,
You shall not make any carved image (an idol) for yourself;
Ammunitions and chariots are prepared for battle but,
The battle is Yahweh's.

Are You Ready?
Are you ready?
Action boy now
Action girl now
Be prepared to climb another mountain
Are you ready?
Action boy now
Action girl now
Be prepared to swim across the ocean
Are you ready?
Be prepared
To fill you plate
Be prepared
Dont hesitate
Be prepared
For a great big bust
Be prepared
To do what you must
Be prepared
To take a hit
Be prepared
To go for it
Be prepared
For a sneak attack
Be prepared
Just dont look back
They say, where theres a will theres a way
Weve heard, these are the things that they say
So.
Reach out for that big fat star
Stick to the groove
And go real far
Outrun the ones who steal the abar (? ? )
Are you ready?
Action boy now
Action girl now
Be prepared to blast into the future
Action boy now
Action girl now
Be prepared to rearrange the picture
Are you ready?

Half The World
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
Half the world hates
What half the world does every day
Half the world waits
While half gets on with it anyway
Half the world lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes
Half the world is
Half the world was
Half the world thinks
While the other half does
Half the world talks
With half a mind on what they say
Half the world walks
With half a mind to run away
Half the world lies
Half the world learns
Half the world flies
As half the world turns
Half the world cries
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries
To be the other half
Half of us divided like a torn-up photograph half of us are
Trying to reach the other half
Half the world cares
While half the world is wasting the day
Half the world shares
While half the world is stealing away

Half The World
Half the world lives,
Half the world makes,
Half the world gives
While the other half takes.
Half the world hates,
Half the world runs away,
Half the world's late,
Half the world praises the day.
Half the world is,
Half the world was,
Half the world thinks,
Half the world does.
Half the world lies,
Half the world burns,
Half the world cries
While the other half turns.
Half the world cares,
Half the world weeps,
Half the world shares,
Half the world keeps.
Half the world sings,
Half the world laughs,
Half the world brings,
Half the world tries to be the other half.
End.
Nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won.

A heed to an advise
Why do we fall for easy prey?
is there anything like shot sure way?
with less effort and more yield
no labor but still green field
This is tendency of youth today
comfort and easy life drawing them away
how to become millionaire in a single night
without countering resistance or offering a fight
How to emerge as a dominating force?
can any one suggest or show the source?
strong determination can only be the option
other things can be ruled out of question
It is human tendency to fall for anything about
no one may rush to your help at one shout
You have no choice to go for short cut
you have to hold ground firmly and stay put
Nothing comes in easy manner
the screw can not be tightened without spanner
the half hearted try can invite disaster
you will have to act as your own master
No one may come forward and guide
you can not judge it from movie or slide
you have to have your own vision and sight
this will only be only asset and mite
It is opportune time for all
the new generation can accept it as challenge or call
they have an ability to scale the wall
you can later on make the claim very tall
it is of no use to live in falsehood
you can not impress even in your neighborhood
if you want to rule over vast horizon
each and ever battle has to be won
It is not easy to climb on tallest peak
you may be prepared but bodily very weak
the real tempo may keep you in high spirit
you may then be able to achieve the feat
The world is changing very fast
nobody wants to remain at the last
it is unique to face such dilemma in adverse condition
the fuel is ready but need little ignition
It is advisable to go in with full preparedness
there may not be favorable condition to face
it is open challenge and competitive race
you should be well prepared to loose in any case
It is brave to face the challenge than to leave
any right thinking person may not be prepared to believe
if everything is taken as day to day war
the success may not remain very far
It is hard but not impossible
everybody is prepared and capable
only some encouragement is needed
it will prove easy if some advices are heeded

He who is well prepared has won the battle.
What is it to me
What is it to me if world does not care?
What I do and go from where to where?
Is it necessary to run for everybody’s wish?
Will it be good to deplete pond from fishes?
I Care only for those who really think about?
Support to me in my worst days or rout
I shall cry for those who bear my agony and share
Treat me with honor and don’t simply stare
I am prepared to walk and do it alone
I may not be deterred by heavy cyclone
I shall continue to Endeavour for noble good
If I can serve a poor person with simple food
It may sound as if I am not ideal person
Keeping away from reality for various reasons
I wish to be part of those who are less fortunate
I sincerely pray for all those to be my inmates
It matters less if I am singled out and pushed
No help forth coming or aid is urgently rushed
I need to pursue the cause with utmost care
I may fail in my mission or doesn’t perform fare
I may stand exposed in the middle of the road
Helpless person watching sky with heavy load
Not for asking any mercy from merciful almighty
Feel so gracious on my fellow men with no pity
You will have to finish it by yourself only
It may not be rosy path but complete thorny
You may invite wrath from people of other walks
Face the rough weather with different talks
I will have to prepare and make my presence felt
Should be prepared to receive blows below the belt
Prepare for any eventuality that maybe thrust
Whole hearted effort and sincere trials must
Life is full circle journey to be carried on
With half hearted attempt no battle can be won
I will have to remain with the people forever
Keeping aloof from all temptations however
Everybody has undergone sufferings at the end
Mixed signals are always received or and sent
It proves our capabilities to withstand it fast
Not letting any one to intrude till the last
Still you will have to take courageous stand
You have to work with more foes than friends
It is not altogether disheartening or discouraging
You should go in for it and completely managing
World may laugh at me for my foolishness
They may try to be intimate with friendliness
How I can manage and come out is real test?
Keeping good distance between two is really best

A Brave One
He has not had an easy life of late
He has battled his demons of despair
Just one of those who has known hard times
And his type of person not rare.
And yet he hangs in there and keeps on battling
And not all hope of success from him gone
A brave one he is not a quitter
And he will keep on keeping on.
He is one with a sense of humour
Though financialy embarrassed he doesn't find it hard to smile
He says life is a hard old battle
But the battle is worthwhile.
He has not known an easy time of late
But to despair he will not give in
He finds life such a very hard battle
A battle he is determined to win.

The Red Ring around the Sun
When the sun appears in morning
With red ring around it
Half red and half yellow
Is sign of coming up war?
The red ring is sign of blood
To be shed in battle
The half red is attacking side
The half yellow is defending side
In such morning
The war drum is beaten
Every man sharpens his spear
And be on maximum alert in Jonglei

Hate is the shadow of love
You hate a person
As you know him only half.
To love a person
Too, you had known him half.
You love and hate
The one, fully known.
The quarreling pair is the loving pair.

Be Prepared (Fun Poem 93)
Be prepared; be prepared,
that statement does not apply
to anyone in the British Government.
They are never prepared
except for grabbing taxes;
they are prepared for that, yes.
To keep the country running,
they are never prepared for that.
A couple of inches of snow
and they are running around like headless chickens
wondering just what to do.
They ignore the weather warnings
and end up with egg on their faces.
It is obvious they were never in the Boy Scouts.
Now the Scouts are always prepared.
They keep a condom in their wallet
in case any frisky Girl Guide should pass their way.
Unlike the British Government
who has to apologise for their lack of for-thought,
when they knew it would snow.

It's easy for me to say that now, now I'm a father, I've got a four-and-a-half year old boy, I'm a different person. Well, I'm still the same person, but I'm different.
The person who is tired will find time to sleep. A person with a bad name is already half hanged.
Where Clowns Are Outlawed
My concerns are not with you anymore.
However that infighting prepared me,
For emotional battle.
I felt if I could get you off my back...
I was prepared to deal with climbing Mt. Everest,
Barefoot!
Or be declared the first on my block,
To actually have clearing vision.
You are the best at what you do!
However...
I do not recommend the path I took,
Since others might find themselves
Looking over their shoulders.
I didn't have to do that once I decided...
To become a stowaway on a ship,
I knew
Would sail as far away from you,
To dropp me off on safe ground where clowns
Are outlawed.
And it took me a very long time,
To make up my mind to leave you crazed.
I am so happy you convinced me it was not an act,
I should try to follow.
But one I needed to get away from quick!
