Take Me To New Highs, You Take Me

I never knew a feeling could be felt like this before.
You take me to new highs,
You take me.

I never knew a feeling could be felt like this before.
You take me to new highs,
You take me.

These,
Feelings...
I never knew.
And you take me.

I never knew a feeling could be felt like this before.
You take me to new highs,
You take me.

I never knew a feeling could be felt like this before.
You take me to new highs,
You take me.

These,
Feelings...
I never knew.
And, you take me.

You have seen...
More than I like.
More than I might,
Have exposed.
Before you came.

And you,
Have seen...
More than I like.
More...
Than I might,
Have exposed.

There's no mystique,
How you keep me excited.
There's this heat underneath,
I can't hide if I tried.

I'm trying to be,
Calm on the outside!
But I can't deny,
You take me to new highs.

I never knew a feeling could be felt like this before.
You take me to new highs,
You take me.

I never knew a feeling could be felt like this before.
You take me to new highs,
You take me.

These,
Feelings...
I never knew.
And you take me.

I never knew a feeling could be felt like this before.
You take me to new highs,
You take me.

I never knew a feeling could be felt like this before.
You take me to new highs,
You take me.

These,
Feelings...
I never knew.
And you take me.

The Empty Box

This I will not put into my normal rhyme and verse, for it is a story of
Faith and hope.

The empty box

I felt empty inside, as the greatest gift had been taken away.
Like an empty Christmas box with all the ribbons and bows
On the outside showing all its beauties, but no one
Knew that the box was empty inside.

What happened? Who took out that gift?
Was it supposed to be temporary
For it was something that I truly missed.
What is the purpose of a beautiful decorated box
If there is nothing inside, to show the depth
and meaning of its wrappings.
Had I taken out the gift? Or misplaced or given it away?
I did not know!
An empty box is like a universe without its stars
Or sun or moon. Void and dark.
I felt like a floating object in space with no
Beginning and no end.
I still had my mind active and working.

I decided to back track to the times before this
And what could have happened.
I had an untimely death of a family member
Then I was laid off from work.
I didn’t have enough money to make
My car or mortgage payments, and to top it off
I wound up with a severe cold.
That was when I turned angrily and blamed god
For all my misfortunes.
But by doing this - I became empty inside
With no emotions, I then realized that this
Is one of many misfortunes to come to test my faith.

I knelt down on my knees and prayed for forgiveness
For allowing myself to weaken.
I then recalled the poem - “ footprints in the sand”
And I felt my heart start to fill up again.
For I knew that in my weakest hours
God would carry me.

Now! That Christmas gift was replenished
And filled the emptiness with the most beautiful gift
This world could ever know.
FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE.
I knew things would work out for me
If I just gave god my problems to take care of.

So if you see an empty gift box!
It is not really empty, for it contains
GODS LOVE FOR ALL HIS CHILDREN.

Never Been

I've never been touched like this- I've never been
I've never been kissed like this- I've never been
I never knew it felt like this- I never knew
I never knew a love like this

Pardon me- excuse me- forgive me- I can't help it
But I see- the energy- 'tween you and me- and I'm selfish
Don't want no- other girls- calling you- never ever
Cause I want- us to stay- together- forever

I've never been touched like this- I've never been
I've never been kissed like this- I've never been
I never knew it felt like this- I never knew
I never knew a love like this

Believe me- when I say- there is no one- I mean none
That can do- the things you do- the things you did- and get done
And I believe- that I can feel- this way- for a reason
In all the ways- you make me feel- boy you keep- me breathing

I've never been touched like this- I've never been
I've never been kissed like this- I've never been
I never knew it felt like this- I never knew
I never knew a love like this

What you got- Them others don't- Cause you're the one I want
You make me hot- Them others don't- Cause baby you're the one I love
What you got- Them others don't- Cause you're the one I want
You make me hot- Them others don't- Cause baby you're the one I love

I've never been touched like this- I've never been
I've never been kissed like this- I've never been
I never knew it felt like this- I never knew
I never knew a love like this

I've never been touched like this- I've never been
I've never been kissed like this- I've never been
I never knew it felt like this- I never knew
I never knew a love like this

Missing You

I never knew what I was missing
until I was missing you.
'Cause every minute that you were around
I never felt this blue.
Seems no one else can do for me
all the things you've done.
You took all the scattered pieces of my life
and rolled them into one.

You made me whole. Now all those pieces
have come apart again.
It woke me up and I knew what was wrong
but I didn't know how or when
I could ever stop aching
or stop my heart from breaking
if you'd never come back to me
Don't you know how I'm missing you?
Oh how I'm missing you.

I never realized how empty I'd feel
until you were not here.
'Cause all of my time was filled with you.
I was good when you were near.
I never knew what I was missing,
until I was missing you.
'Cause every minute that you were around
I never felt this blue.
Don't you know that I'm missing you?
Oh how I'm missing you.

Finally...Here We Are

I knew you knew me.
The moment I saw you,
I knew you knew.

I knew you felt my heart.
The passion and compassion.
Here inside...
Wishing for someone to recognize.

I knew you knew me.
The moment I saw you,
I knew you knew.

I knew you too wanted to touch.
And we hungered for that very much.

And finally...
Here we are!
To notice,
And taste this dream.

Jesus Inspires

JESUS inspires me in all that i do
JESUS inspires me and makes my dreams come true.
I felt lost and empty like a sea shell
my heart didn't know where to dwell.

the emptiness was tearing me apart
so I searched till I found my heart.
then I started to search for my soul
I knew 'that' would make me whole.

once I had found the two
then I knew just what to do.
joining them together I was now complete.
I felt the joy and began to weep.

he was there every step of the way
and all I had to do was search and pray.

Today I Felt It Safe

Today I felt it safe,
And knew it was okay...
To fall in love all over again.

Today I felt it safe,
To unlock the gate...
And welcomed those feelings again.

When I once had a shattered heart...
I ran to protect,
My emotions I had left.

Today I felt it safe,
And knew it was okay...
To fall in love all over again.

Today I felt it safe,
To unlock the gate...
To welcome back those feelings again.

When I sat in shadows to cry...
I did my best to hide,
Inside what I denied.

And just today I felt it safe,
And knew it was okay...
To fall in love all over again.

I then told friends who were so relieved.
They did not want to see me,
Grieve my life away...
Everyday.

And just today I felt it safe,
And knew it was okay...
To fall in love all over again.

And gone is pretending,
I have no needs.
Or wishes and dreams...
I want to let begin,
Again!

Today I felt it safe,
And knew it was okay...
To fall in love all over again.

Today I felt it safe,
To unlock the gate...
To welcome back those feelings again.
And I am hopeful with you they will not end!

Please

So you never knew love
Until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
'Til you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive
Until you'd almost wasted away

You had to win
You couldn't just pass
The smartest ass
At the top of the class
Your flying colors
Your family tree
And all your lessons in history

Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees
Please...please...please...
Please...

So you never knew
How low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew
What was on the ground 'til they made you crawl
So you never knew
That the heaven you keep

My 1st little car

Look there I see it

I seen it there just in sight

I felt the butterflies it felt so right

I felt the connection

I knew it was the perfect selection

My 1st little car

It was green and eye calling

The price cost my thoughts nothing

It stood out from the rest of the place

I knew that we would be together

I sat init and felt a warm embrace

My 1st little car

It called me over and invited me in

To take a drive and have our journey begin

It gleamed and shined it was nearly perfection

I drove for a while following the directions

Took it back to the garage and put down my deposit

My 1st little car

Bodhisattva Nightmare

i felt the bullet
as your body fell,
the sickening gasp of light

lost in the void...
i felt the empty
of your stomach turning,

as you staggered weakly
down that long dusty road.
i felt the bone crushing pain

as he struck your face,
again and again....
i felt the sickness

of the stench of the alley...
i felt the fear and despair of the cell,
the not knowing when

it was going to come...
i felt the hatred and fear
they tormented you with,

for who you loved,
and the way you lived....
i felt the hopelessness

of the hard ass streets,
the gun in your pocket...
the monkey on your back....

i felt.... and still feel!

I knew she had her eye on me

I knew she had her eye on me
The day we finally met
I saw the glistening sparkle
The best to come was yet
Her laughter filled my soul
Her smile was radiant bright
We laughed and had much fun
I kinda felt so right
It felt like I had known her
A long time though it may
But this was not so true
I wished that I could stay
I knew she had her eye on me
The day we laughed had fun
I knew inside that somehow
Our fun had just begun

Empty Hands

He rode in town on a white horse
With nothing in his hands
He came to gather his people
And take them to their promised land
When he came he knew there would be bloodshed
But still no violence made his plans
He came to fight in a battle
With no guns or money

But with his empty hands
With his empty hands
With his empty hands
With his empty hands

They said hey boy what you lookin'at
As they eyed his dreaded mane
He said my father has sent me
I've come back to reclaim
The children whose hearts
Were so whole and pure
Now it's you who'll die in pain
So they lynched the man
Who fooled the word
And all the children gathered
In his empty hands

In his empty hands
The children ..... empty hands
In his empty hands
With his empty hands
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Collide

I felt my heart collapse
On the day that I met him
I felt my heart collapse
It filled up to the rim
I felt my heart collapse
When my eyes traveled 'round
I felt my heart collapse
The one I had found

I felt my heart collapse
When he first touched my skin
I felt my heart collapse
Oh it seemed a lovely sin
I felt my heart collapse
It fell without a sound
I felt my heart collapse
Oh I knew I had found

I felt my heart collapse
When we shared that first kiss
I felt my heart collapse
I thought that I would almost miss
I felt my heart collapse
I was lost in his embrace
I felt my heart collapse
I kept staring at his face

Oh my heart collapsed on that day
Ever since it's been that same way
My love for you has not faded
Ever since the day it escaped

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

Losin' Kind

My name is frank davis, drive up Dixie 109
I was out on Highway 17, just south of the camden line
It was down there in heart of Wilsonville, where I met my fate
She was standing outside a barroom, said she was waitin' for a date
but I knew that was just a line
And I knew I was messin' with the losin' kind
well I knew what we were both doin', and I knew that u cant win
But when the light turned green, I reached across the seat,popped the lock and she slid in,
She said she liked Mexican music, she knew a place if I had the time
So we had a few drinks and we danced for a while,I pulled her close, she didnt mind
And what I knew kinda slipped my mind,
And I couldnt resist her kiss, with the losin' kind
Well we drove around in my Buick, getting drunk and having fun
We ended up at the Best Western, out on Highway 101
It was around 3:00a.m., we went out, to this empty little roadside bar
It was there the cash register was open, it was there I hit that guy real hard
But I knew, when I hit him, for a second time,
that one attracts the other, when there the losin' kind
Well I grabbed her hand to get out of there, then I felt like I was gonna be sick
About a half hour later the sleet started comin' down,

Mary Harriet

An empty room, an empty chair.
Recall to me the occupant
although she is no longer there.
In my minds eyes I see my aunt.
The family historian.
She knew much more than she would tell.
Knew when to speak when to abstain.
She kept the family secrets well.
I used to love to visit her
and listen to the tales she told
of her young days and how thing were
. In those far distant days of old.
Now she is gone, she was the last
who knew the secrets of the past.

I Apologise

I'm sorry for the times you've cried,
and the loneliness you felt inside,
i'm sorry for the way things were,
and the selfishness that you endured,
i'm sorry for the nights we lost,
and the deep pain it must have cost,
i'm sorry for the love you missed,
loosing you helped me realize this,

I'm sorry i wasn't there to show,
the deepest love you'll ever know,
i'm sorry for the empty days,
and the stresses that you still yet pay,
i'm sorry for the way i left,
i've never felt so much regret,
i'm sorry for the heart i broke,
that shattered with the words i spoke,
i'm sorry for the empty space,
that lay beside you in my place,
i'm sorry for the empty arms,
you fell into when times were hard,
i'm sorry for the days that passed,
our love now will surely last,
i'm sorry it took so long to vow,
to love you forever here and now!

Our popular Government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it our people have already settled — the successful establishing and the successful administering of it. One still remains — its successful maintenance against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it. It is now for them to demonstrate to the world that those who can fairly carry an election can also suppress a rebellion; that ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets, and that when ballots have fairly and constitutionally decided there can be no successful appeal back to bullets; that there can be no successful appeal except to ballots themselves at succeeding elections. Such will be a great lesson of peace, teaching men that what they can not take by an election neither can they take it by a war; teaching all the folly of being the beginners of a war.

Against All Odd (feat. Mariah Carey)

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breath with you
You're the only one
Who relly knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared th tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
Oh theres just an empty space
And theres nothing left here to
Remind me
Just a memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause theres just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against
all odds
And thats what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
Theres so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
'Cause theres just an empty space
And there nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause theres just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can do
And thats what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
Thats the chance I've got to take
Take a look at me now

The Lotus

On the day when the lotus bloomed, alas, my mind was straying,
and I knew it not. My basket was empty and the flower remained unheeded.

Only now and again a sadness fell upon me, and I started up from my
dream and felt a sweet trace of a strange fragrance in the south wind.

That vague sweetness made my heart ache with longing and it seemed to
me that is was the eager breath of the summer seeking for its completion.

I knew not then that it was so near, that it was mine, and that this
perfect sweetness had blossomed in the depth of my own heart.
