Helps Me Helps You
Look at all the toys I got
Look at all the things I need
Look at all the toys I got
Look at all the mouths I feed
Have I got a wonderful deal for you
What belongs to me belongs to you
I understand what youre going through
I know the point to push you to
My policy helps me helps you
Generosity helps me helps you
Conspiracy helps me helps you
Put you trust in me Ill help you too
Look at all the things Ive done
Look at all the rights I wrong
The means will justify the end
For you to save and me to spend
Cos Ive got a great idea you see
What belongs to you belongs to me
I know just what you wanna do
I know how I can get there too
Hypocrisy helps me helps you
Democracy helps me helps you
Ideology helps me helps you
Put your trust in me Ill help you through

Uncle Alvarez
Theres a portrait of uncle alvarez
Hangin in the hall
Nobody wants to look at it
But uncle alvarez sees us all
Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
Better send a postcard and keep the family quiet
Hes not really a part cherokee indian
He didnt fight in the civil war
Hes just eugene isaac alvarez
We feel sorry for the wall
Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
Youre gonna make em sorry when you die
And its a long way down
Youre hoping for a heart attack
Runnin around
Investing in this and that
And your beautiful wife keeps your life on a shelf for you
Safe in the bedroom
Where theres no dust or mildew
And its hard to believe you were once a beautiful dancer
Better just to shake it off
As you write your resume
Dont think of uncle alvarez
And the price he had to pay
Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
Youre gonna make em sorry when you die
Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
Better send some money to the alma mater

Too many accomplishments makes no accomplishments.
Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.

A Little Bit Of Sunshine
A little bit of sunshine every day,
Helps to keep the rain clouds far away.
A little bit of sunshine, for your soul,
Helps you to weather even bitter cold.
A little bit of sunshine in your week,
Helps pull you out of bed, when you are sick.
A little bit of sunshine on your brain,
Helps get out all bad feelings, and mental strain.
A little bit of sunshine in your life,
Helps you to deal, with all your stress and strife.
A little bit of sunshine at the start,
Can even help to heal a broken heart.

Everybody Gets The Blues
It don't matter if you're rich
It don't make no differenve if you're poor
Simple things in like can make you mad to the core
It doesn't matter if you're young
Don't make no difference if you're old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach your pot of gold
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows with the highs
Well you work and you worry
Spend your life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Ain't no different for a woman
Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Everybody got to give
Everybody got to live
Don't matter if you're fat
Don't matter if you're thin
Everybody got to lose
Everybody got to win
Don't matter if you're black
Don't matter if you're white
You know you got to get it wrong
To have a chance to make it right

Even if you're improvising, the fact that beforehand you know certain things will work helps you make those improvisations successful. It really helps to have a certain amount of knowledge about musical structure.
What's A Friend?
Friend is someone who knows our emotions and feelings
That know our ideas and opinions
And that don't surprise us acting in a bad way
Friend is who knows your difficulties, and helps overcome them
Friend is somebody who don't interpret in a bad way nor make bad judgement
Nor condemn, criticize, disdain, underestimate, spurn,
Devalue, contempt, humillate, reject...
Friend is who give you joy, doing it arrives until your heart
Friend is someone who is by our side
In each possible moments
Friend is someone who take care of us
And defend us always we are in danger
Amigo don't pay attention to the differences
For a Friend what matter is to have someone who can to share each triumph
Friend is who listen to your favorite music being with you
Enjoying each second you spend together
A Friend helps organize a party at your home
And he helps you to clean, as well, all the mess
A real Friend is loyal and sincere
He's somebody who comprehends you
He accepts you as you are and have confidence on you
Who without envy recognize your personal and intelectual value
He stimulates you and praises you without thinking a second thought
Who don't give excuses for not help you
Friend really helps you without to ask something in return
And he don't abuse of your kindness
Who with wise advices help to construct
And to perfect your Personality
Friend is who don't hurt you
And don't make you to fault on pourpose
Friend is who rises you
When you are fallen and without enthusiasm
Who cares about you
And give you the thoughtful attention
And who helps you to heal you pains
This is really your Friend
A real Friend don't offends you
Nor treats you with insults
And don't injuries you
Nor maltreat in front of someone
A genuine Friend leads you through a good way
And he is, himself, to you, the Light into a immense ocean of darkness
Friend is somebody who holds his hand out in any situation
Friend is who assists you in each moment

Undone
What is it that could break this spell?
What is it that would make me well?
I'm distraught, obsessed, and alone...
It's a feeling, a place, a zone
It's not true, nor a state, I'm not alone- no
Many people mill about, they come they go
I'm never alone and yet there is no company
I'm never distraught and yet there in the light I see
The darkness that shrouds my path, wells up from within me
The feeling of things not true is uncanny
It doesn't matter that I have friends when I feel neglect
IT doesn't matter that I; m competent when I feel inept
It's funny how with one metaphorical heart
The whole body is led astray that might not do its part
A feeling, a falsehood, a whisper, this is my downfall
It is from within I am undone
My accomplishments unsung
The good in my life becomes void no point to it, no point at all
The sum of all that I've done pales in comparison to
A mere feeling of darkness, a sense of depression
A pang of loneliness
And lo I am undone

On Teachers Day
I am like the midnight glory
That only you can see, with wisdom hoary
For when I am low or I don't know
You understand and tell me how
To start anew, without fear
And so, you are my teacher
The midnight oil, you taught me to burn
And with dexterity, make the urn
'Tis empty now, but not for long
For you've promised to light my way along
The rugged trail to a bright future
And so, you are my teacher
No matter who, no matter where
Your only care, to make us a debonair
To spur us on, you wake at dawn
And rousing words from your mouth spawn
My urn is filling with psychological feature
And so, you are my teacher
A fantastic preacher, with every feature
Of the best potter, peacher
Minor cracks show as I go astray
But with potters clay, you fill it up, cliche
A legendary creature helps me fill my urn deeper
And so..., you are my teacher
And so, you are my teacher...

Words to Mom When I Was a Teen
I wish I could let you know, Mom
How much you mean to me
But words can't even begin to
Make you really see
How much I really love you, Mom
How much I hold you dear
And I won't even think about
Life without you here
Ours is a hard relationship
But no matter how odd
There's respect, caring, and loyalty
And love, given to us by God
And as I'm writing this poem, Mom
The tears stream down my face
And I think about our past, Mom
And words I can't erase
But even though the scars stay put
They can heal over, with the years
And we can grow together, once again
And wipe away our tears
The sadness that you feel, Mom
It's not right, it's not good
Cause there's no one like you, Mom
I wish you understood
You feel you don't accomplish things
But it really seems to me
That what you do for others
Are things that you can't see
Do you look at understanding?
Can kindness and caring be measured?
And all the things that mean so much
Can they be added up and treasured?
No, life is a test not written down
And the scores cannot be seen
But that doesn't make it less important
For to God, what do accomplishments mean?

Blessed To Be His Pen
I am blessed to be a pen, which God uses to speak to men,
As God’s Truth flows from in; Truths I’ve received from Him,
Truth from within His Word, which many still have not heard,
So God put within me care, and with a pen this Truth I share.
I do not have a big degree, and yet, The Lord God uses me,
Guiding my pen as I write, Truths about His Grace and Light,
Truths I did not always know, but His Spirit helped me grow,
And now His Truth in my heart, to you with pen I now impart.
His Truth for me, is not new, but still a joy to share with you,
It’s the Truth that set me free, that helps me point to eternity.
The blessings begin to flow, when Christ you come to know,
Who helps men share His Word, until all on earth have heard.
To share His Truth, until then, The Lord helps me use my pen,
Guiding me, as I sow seed, through the verses that you read.
Many blessings God gives me, which the readers cannot see,
As His blessings fill my days, I lift up to Him all of the praise.
Just a line or two, will begin, from His Truth that dwells within,
Coupled with a thought of mine, when God pens another line,
Stirring thoughts day and night, it is Him, who helps me write.
It doesn’t matter how or when; I’m just blessed to be His pen.

You:
You
Your smile gets me through the day,
Your laugh helps me find my way,
Your eyes make me wanna stay,
Your hug makes me wanna say,
I love you, I love you, I do.
Your presence helps me make it through,
Your kindness lets me see the lies aren't true,
Your compassion lifts me up when I'm blue,
Your humor makes me laugh longer than you,
I love you, I love you, I do...

No Matter What
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What they belive is true
No matter what they call us
How ever they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back
I can't deny what i belive
I can't be what i'm not
I know i love forever
I know no matter what
If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would here god say
No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
What you believe is true
And i will keep you safe and strong
And sheltered from the storm
No matter where it's barren
Our dream is being born
No matter who they follow
No matter where the lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need
No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies aren't blue
No matter why they ended
My life began with you
I can't deny what i believe
I can't be what i'm not
I know this love forever
That's all that matter's now
No matter what
No

Passion to Write
I love to write
thats just me
writing helps me
let everything inside be free
i have a wild imagination
and a sense of humor too
that sometimes get released
and make my poems untrue
but it doesnt matter if my poems are fake
theyre what you want them to be and what you rate
and to everyone now you know why i write
its the passion that turns me on and the pen and paper at sight.

Should This Make A Difference
Should it make a difference,
To the one accustomed to looking up...
As to who holds their head down?
To stop with a noticing of it...
Giving time to see what has been lost to be found?
Should it make a difference,
That people around talk 'to' each other...
With no eye contact that exists?
Should this make a difference,
To one who has already experienced this?
Should any of this make a difference,
To one who realizes their movements are not restricted...
On a top ten list of prioritized accomplishments,
Sought to do...
Since...
No one is aware of the persistence it takes,
To resist being disrespected with an accepted disregard.
Should this make a difference,
To one who has chosen to gaze at stars...
With dreams and wishes?
No.
The difference that is,
Has been decided and made.

As A Matter Of Fact
Written by s. garrett & d. boyette
Blow daddy, aww, yeah
Here we are, standing at the hard line
We made it last this long
The two of us, together since the first time
And I believe our love is still strong
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
(chorus)
Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)
I love you (oh, as a matter of fact)
And I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter, a matter)
Some said we wouldnt make it this far
But they dont talk no more (no more)
The love we share is precious as a big star
And what we haves what others hope for
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
(chorus)
Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)
I need you (oh, as a matter of fact)
And Im glad that you need me back
As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter, a matter)
Mm, matter of fact, yeah (ooh as a matter of fact)
I want you (yeah, as a matter of fact)
And I cant tell you more than that
As a matter of fact, (ooh, as a matter) yeah (matter)
Aww, blow, daddy
Musical interlude
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come and go or it can choose to stay

Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)
I love you (oh, as a matter of fact)
Yeah and I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)
Ooh, ooh, baby
Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)

And Im glad that you need me right back
As a matter of fact
