Further, there are things of which the mind understands one part, but remains ignorant of the other; and when man is able to comprehend certain things, it does not follow that he must be able to comprehend everything.

When the fallibility of life hits you
When the fallibility of life hits you
and your thoughts paradigm
to try to comprehend
were you fit into everything
and the bigger picture remains unclear
when destiny strikes deadly
and you comprehend
the cruelty of life,
then you know that you are extradited
and still hope remains
that the sun will again
break through the darkness.

Unless It Is Something Wished
There is nothing to fear,
Unless it is something wished.
And those illiterate,
Will never comprehend its meaning.
With an effectiveness,
Equaling those fearless.
And...
Blessed to accomplish,
A tremendous vocabulary.
A probable scenerio?
Those who don't know...
May be considered to be ignorant.
But those who comprehend,
What an ignorance is...
And it does not effect their intelligence,
A fear that is marketed...
Is less likely to become,
Successfully patronized.

Questions Above
Many questions, seventy times seven, may be asked once in Heaven,
Our thoughts about the patriarchs, one or more questions this sparks,
Or maybe questions about this life, just why so much pain and strife?
Or the things we can't comprehend; may prompt questions in the end.
But with a pure mind and heart, many of those questions shall depart,
This when we enter into Eternal Life, now, with the pure mind of Christ,
Former things remembered no more, as we step on that eternal shore,
With an eternal mindset instead, as past is behind with Eternity ahead.
The things we could not comprehend, shall come to light at that bend,
The final turn at the end of our life, as we see the face of Jesus Christ,
With our glorified body and mind, those former things are well behind,
Many questions we may have asked, may be faded things of our past.
Most things from the former time, shall pale in the light of the sublime,
As the Crystal Sea and streets of gold, with our Lord our eyes behold,
Mindful now, of the things to come, as we enter, His Eternal Kingdom,
A Kingdom that shall not pass away, one, where we'll be there to stay,
Many things that we now ponder, may fade away as we get up yonder,
Earthly things will lose their allure, as we begin a new life for evermore,
Many questions now thought of, will likely fade in His presence above,
As Christ answers more than we ask, when we begin, that Eternal Task.
Mated
Everyone asks
Are we some kind of lovers?
Everyone asks what youre doing with me
I know this is not what they want
Theyre afraid youve been blinded
But I already know how its going to be
If anyone should ask
Say were mated
For as long as this life lasts
We are mated
Why else would you be here right now
And you know well still be here tomorrow
Nobody else understands what Im doing
Nobody else makes me act in this way
And because they cant comprehend
What we mean to each other
They wont leave you alone
So you know what to say
I hold you in my heart
cause were mated
In a very special part
We are mated
Why else would I be here right now
And you know Ill still be here tomorrow
I see things far ahead, maybe light
Maybe beautiful children
I dont have words Im thinking of
But its way beyond what they call love

Three things you cannot comprehend: the mind of a woman, the working of the bees, and the ebb and flow of the tide.
Our imagination is stretched to the utmost, not, as in fiction, to imagine things which are not really there, but just to comprehend those things which are there.

There are bars around me
There are bars around me
and at times I cannot
break the obstruction, the things that divide
and like an animal I am caged, like an inquisitive person
I look at people, things that pass
and at times I cannot
get my eyes
to the other side of the wire which breaks every thing into bits
and I look at people, things that pass
and with every breaking day
things comprehend less, without a new beginning
to the other side of the wire which breaks every thing into bits
and I am caged without a life with you in it
and I do not know where to find someone to unlock my life
things comprehend less, without a new beginning
into eternity I serve out a jail term.
There are bars around me
and I do not know where to find someone to unlock my life,
break the obstruction, the things that divide.

What is love?
How do I know
that she truly loves me
and that I am more
than just a friend?
How do you measure feelings,
things that show signs of care
and give pain and pleasure?
What is love,
how do you comprehend
beauty, passion and bliss
if principle is not part of it?

Follow Me
(denver)
Its by far the hardest thing Ive ever done
To be so in love with you and so alone
Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say youll follow me
Its long been on my mind
You know its been a long long time
Ive tried to find a way that I could make you understand
The way I feel about you
And just how much I need you
To be there when I can talk to you
When theres no one else around
Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say youll follow me
You see, Id like to share my life with you
And show you things Ive seen
Places that Im going to
And places where Ive been
To have you there beside me, well never be alone
And all the time that youre with me
Then we will be at home
Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say youll follow me

Do The Best You Can
When you come across
the guy who thinks he's boss
yet never knows the reason why
He won't let you pass
won't answer things you ask
He's got his orders do or die
Someone said to me
if you tip the doorman heavily
his doors will open wide for you
Goes to show what money can do
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
you just do the best you can
do the best you can
Please be kind to those
who fail to comprehend
And in time who knows
you'll maybe make a friend
If you leave your car
and you're not going far
remember what time to be back
If it slips your mind
I'm sure in time you'll find
a Rita waiting in a mac
chorus
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
you just do the best you can
do the best you can
do the best you can

To Reach Beyond Those Yesterdays
I am not here to avoid the living of life.
Or choose to follow the path of scattered pieces.
There is something fascinating in the naturalness of things.
And there is a desire motivating inside of me that teases,
To reach beyond those yesterdays...
With a teaching of those lessons learned,
Enabling my quest to digest, comprehend and grow.

We never completely comprehend ourselves, but we can do far more than comprehend.
My Future
My God has greater plans for me,
More than what I can imagine;
His ways, no one can comprehend,
Nor forecast or predict.
My God of love who safeguards me,
Will not abandon, nor forsake;
He guides my life miraculously;
Why should I worry then?
Though things don’t seem to favor me,
God knows the reasons for delay;
The Maker does things in His time;
Why should I doubt His ways?
All seasons end and must begin;
God give me patience and mind’s peace;
I know I’m meant for greater things;
My problems then will ease!

Impure science
There are things
that science cannot explain
and you can look at calculations
for hours and think about it
and still man’s pure logics
stays a big joke
and we are far too stupid
to really comprehend God
and abnormal things
and there is no hour work
that gets snared somewhere
and make all things calculable.
Scientists do not want to believe
that a almighty God
could talk
and things could originate
and who can really say
how Jesus Christ
made wine from water,
healed the sick,
rose the dead,
multiplied food,
talked to the elements
when his disciples almost drowned
and the wind stops blowing
and the sea calms down?

The Bushman tracker
Men with eyes like his
has a special ability
to see, to comprehend
reading the distances
but also the cryptic tell tale
of tracks left on the ground
and finding greater meaning
from small things
and he can immediately tell
the number of animals or men
and can point out exactly what
had passed and tell exactly when
and we could follow him on an enemy track
being secure to trace
a couple of passing men
over the open veldt.

Over Her
You know I been trying to figure out
Just what's going on
Am I over her?
I been doing a lot of thinking lately
Am I over her?
And I'm really missing you
It's been 3 months, 3 hours, 3 days
Since the last time I seen your pretty face
My decision to bring this to an end
And I'm caught up in reminscing
Having faithful visions of long walks, long talks
Play fights, late nights
It's been on my mind since Valentine's
Cause I had your heart and I let it slide
I ask myself time and time again (again I'm trying to comprehend that)
Unanswered questions still (things to be are meant to end)
Am I over her? (am I over her?)
Am I over her?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her?)
I can't think straight
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love?
I was going through some things that I couldn't explain
Now my situation's taking a big change
They say the grass is greener on the other side of town
Now I'm kinda wishing you would come back around
Is she sad or is she mad?
Does she have a new man, does she have it like that?
It's been so long, thought I would've moved on
Could've been strong and picked up the telephone
I ask myself time and time again (again I'm trying to comprehend that)
Unanswered questions still (things to be are meant to end)
Am I over her? (am I over her?)
Am I over her?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her?)
I can't think straight
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love?
It's water under the bridge
But I can't seem to forget
All the plans we made, all the time we spent
Makes me reminisce
I still see your face
All this love I can't replace
Am I over (am I over)
Am I over her? (her now)
Am I over her?
Am I over her? (am I)
Am I over her? (am I over)
Tell me am I really over my my love (my love my love)
I can't think straight (my love)
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her (never gonna be over her)
Am I really over my love? (never gonna be)
No
Am I over her?
No not over her no
Ohhhhhh
Am I over her?
Am I over her? (over her)
Am I over her?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her, am I over her?)
I can't think straight (I'm not over her)
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love? (ahh oooh)
I'm not over my my my love
I'm not over my my my love
I'm not over my my my love (oh no no)
I'm not over my my my love
Am I over her? (I'm not over my my my love)
Am I over her? (I'm not over my my my love)
Am I over her? (I'm not over my love my love, she's my love, she's my)
Tell me am I really over my my love (she's my everything)
I can't think straight (she's my everything, my everything)
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love?
Not over not over my love
Not over not over my love
I'm not over not over my love
Am I over her?
Not over not over my love..

Alone
I’m all alone
In the dark
You cant see me
Falling apart
You cant hear my lonely cries
You cant wipe away the tears from my eyes
You cant try to comprehend
The feelings that I have, the hurt my heart feels.
Theres no end.
You can't read my crying eyes
Or my heart that sets here and sighs,
Waiting for the one to try
to tell me my life is alright.
You cant cure the wounds in my mind
As I close my eyes and see the things from my live
things Iwish no one to see.
You cant see how many times I’ve wished to die
Or how many tears have fallen from my eyes.
