Do you want me to tell you something really subversive Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

Love Never Die's
Love never dies
It lives, it breaths
Inside each of us human beings
Just most of us
Can never see
The beauty
That is dormant
In us all
Most of us wait
And think
Is he my Mr. Right?
But then
The light just fades
Like two ships in the night
We often mistake love
To be caring with our words
But what it really is for us
Is giving our whole being
To love you must trust
To love you must give
Is anyone really ready?
To give what makes you
Who you are
Your soul, you're very being
Is it worth it at all?
Am I being cynical?
In life's most mysteries
Emotion that scares us all
Am I really right?
In how love suppose to be
We all have our own opinions
Of what love is suppose to be
Perhaps I am mistaken
On what I really see
So you tell me
What do you see or feel
Is this what love is all about
Trust with all your heart
With ever fiber of your being
Is it really worth the risk
To risk a broken heart
Can it really be?
That important to ones life
This is why I say
Love never dies
It's always there
In each of us
Dormant in our hearts

Risk
flowers
bloom
revealing
its inner
beauty
secrets
earth
blooms
shedding
age old secrets
women
bloom
men
bloom
slowly
but surely
everything reveals
what it really is!
risk or no risk!
Risk
And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.

Running The Risk
Seeing you, watching you
Watching me
I hold back my emotions
I keep them veiled in secrecy
I cant let go of this thing weve started
Wasnt looking for love
No conspiracy of the broken hearted
I dont know how far to go
Until Im gone, gone, gone
I couldnt see the danger
It was just a little taste of temptation
I could not read the silence
That was written on your face
But here comes that feeling again
And theres nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
Theres nothing more I can say
Im still running the risk of you walking away
Im lost drowning in a sea of emotion
Ive got one simple need
I need you to feel my devotion
I dont know how far to go
Until Im gone, yeah gone
Its a complicated picture
Im all tangled up in temptation
I couldnt read the silence
That was written on your face
But here comes that feeling again
And theres nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
Theres nothing more I can say
Im still running the risk of you walking away
Im running the risk of losing you
Im walking this tightrope
Youre my only hope
Theres nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
Losing you
And theres nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
Theres nothing more I can say
Im still running the risk of you walking away
Im running the risk of losing you
Im walking this tightrope
Darling, youre my only hope
Theres nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
Im running the risk of losing you
Im telling you honey
This heart of mine cant run the risk
Of losing you again
Everything have made you do
Im still running the risk of losing you

Chance It
Risk it all.
Take another chance.
Put it all on the line.
Don't hold back and don't back down because our love is worth it.
So love me.
Don't play me.
Hold me tight.
Don't throw me away and waste our love.
Love is a battle worth fighting for.
So pour gasoline on the fire so we can watch it explode together.
Don't extinguish it.
Come on baby its not too late to turn around and make this love right.
I mean you were supposed to cherish me not use me.
Make me laugh.
Not cry myself to sleep every night over a love gone wrong.
Make me happy.
Not sad from the memories and mistakes we made.
You said you were different and I believed you.
You were supposed to make me fall in love with you every day.
Not hate you more with each passing day you ignore what we had and don't talk to me.
Don't you know how that makes me feel?
I thought you were my dream come true instead you ended up being my living nightmare.
I thought you were supposed to build me up instead you just tore me down.
Please don't let it end like this.
Feed our flame don't let it die out.
Can't you see its killing me inside knowing I was so close to everything I ever wanted just to have it walk away but not before it took everything and destroyed me.
So go on throw in the towel because I’m not giving up on this love. If love isn't worth fighting for then what is?
By all means I'm not perfect but together our love just might be. Since we have learned from our mistakes and know what road not to go down again.
So come on baby don't be scared. I won't break your heart like you did mine and I won't hold the past against you.
I just want to love you for you bad and all I’ll take you as you are. That’s who I fell for in the first place.
So can't you do the same for me?
Won't you chance it?
Won't you risk it?
Don't you think I'm worth it?
Doesn’t love mean anything to you?
Come on baby show me because I can't wait forever.
I've done held on long enough and I don't want to waste any more time.
So tell me now is this love meant to be or am I just dreaming when I see you look at me like you use to.
If so let me know so I can finally let go.
If you don't think it is worth it let me know and I'll go.

Risk
You put your name in a box with a million others not knowing what the prize will be.
A person mixes them around
And your name gets called.
You go onto the stage and wonder what the prizes will be.
The woman says choose door 1 or door 2.
You chose door 1 hoping it will be a car or a trip to Hawaii.
Door number 1 opens and you realize it is just a bunch of bikes.
You get down at first but then realize it was worth the risk.
For many people would love to get a chance at winning a prize even if they don't win.
For life is about taking risks.
Some go our way and some don't.
But at least we don't wonder forever what will happen if we don't.
For live is too short to wonder about what will happen.
So take the risk and it will be worth while no matter what happens.

Pursuit Of Art A Courageous Step
Is the pursuit of art a courageous step?
To give up security stability of mediocrity?
To risk all for success failure court poverty?
some artists believe they choose to create art
no art chooses us possesses us enslaves us...
nothing brave in choices foolish slaves we slaves
to art without choice must risk make to create
Does the great artist risk all for cause art?
The risk is to strive to create to enter the stage?
Genesis insanity tune a finely strung bow?
genius observes enthusiasm accomplishes
passion passion births profound glorious insights
impressive talents unmotivated are sterile

Sonnet - Risks
Sometimes, the risks we take are colossal!
Just for the sake of some extra-money;
Sometimes, the risk is inevitable;
You have to face the Bees, to get honey.
There is a risk in things, all that we do;
To what extent to take is the question;
A man could die in a water-pool too!
There're risks to progress for any nation.
A risk to soul, no one should ever take;
No mortal sin is worth its weight in joy;
If sugar's burnt, it turns useless the cake;
On seeing land, the Captain cries, ' Ahoy! '
One's risks should not outweigh the sequelae;
Regain soul's purity, don’t you delay.

At Risk
At risk?
Those of an expressed intelligence.
And feeling it is shown,
To those known wishing to have it suppressed.
At risk...
These times not only suspected terrorists threat.
Those with a detected consciousness,
Have been witnessed to have the best affect...
Upon those who have slept.
But now have awakened.
And at risk is a conformity,
Opened eyes dare to break.
And from it willfully shakened.
With a more uplifted,
And respected patrioticness reflected.
That removes a need for greatness to be debated...
When again it is felt and not degraded.
By overrated propaganda...
At risk of being unbelieved as an achievement.

That Situation
(g. valenciano/m. pagan)
There's so much in life
That we would like to do
We can wait for love
Until we know it's true
It's up to us
Not to jump into that situation
I'm too young, not ready yet
I got so much to do
Got to take it step-by-step
It's best for me and you
It's up to us
Not to jump into that situation
Let's take it easy
One step at a time
Why should we risk it?
Our future's on the line
It's up to us
Not to get into that situation
Is this what, what we want?
Is it worth risking?
All we have ahead to do
Let's not make that mistake
We're gonna be all right
If we choose to wait
There's so much in life
That we would like to do
We can wait for love
Until we know it's true
It's up to us
Not to jump into that situation
I'm too young, not ready yet
I got so much to do
Got to take it step-by-step
It's best for me and you
It's up to us
Not to jump into that situation
Let's take it easy
One step at a time
Why should we risk it?
Our future's on the line
It's up to us
Not to get into that situation
There's so much in life
That we would like to do
We can wait for love
Until we know it's true
It's up to us
Not to jump into that situation
(instrumental)
Is this what, what we want?
Is it worth risking?
All we have ahead to do
Let's not make that mistake
We're gonna be all right
If we choose to wait
There's so much in life
That we would like to do
We can wait for love
Until we know it's true
It's up to us
Not to jump into that situation
It's up to us
Not to jump into that situation
It's up to us
Not to jump into that situation...
Situation... situation...

Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.
