Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

Be Hopeful
Hopeful
Be hopeful
Want to be successful
Saw good seeds
For we are cursed and blessed
By our own deeds
Being hopeful is to over come
And encouragement
Becomes our strength
For what we could become here
Unless we over come our fear
The wind blowing
Here and there
Life becomes so unfair
All you need to do
Is to be hopeful
Hopeful
Be hopeful

I fear that the hearts of the vast majority of mankind would beat on strongly and steadily and without any quickening if the league were to perish altogether.

To break a heart
Hold me like you never did before
Touch me like the memory whispers
I’m going to break someone’s heart
And I will make it bad
Call me as if there are still peaceful days
Look at me and see the truth inside
I’m going to break someone’s heart
And it’s your heart
Don’t speak that you understand it all
Or my tears will fall admit defeat
That I’m already failed
That I think I can love you and give no pain
Don’t ask me how I feel
It will crack the mask and the play is over
If I can reply those beautiful dreams
I hope we’ll never meet to hurt each other
Think me like we will be forever unchanged
Give me a promise that won’t be fulfilled
I’m going to break someone’s heart
And it will be torn apart
Don’t be the one to pull me closer
Or I could never end this game of circle
Now if you stand so still and sad
I can release you without looking back
Don’t say you know the reason
I hate you always make me so hopeful
That you will forgive me as the time pass by
Then there’s nothing worth to be told
Kiss me and let the world left behind
Sing me the way to be strongly alone
I’m going to break someone’s heart
And it’s my heart

And I am also here to say that if something were to happen, we are prepared to respond swiftly, to respond effectively, and to respond strongly. That is our tradition as a country. And that is a tradition that we will uphold, regardless of any circumstance because this nation is one that is very, very strong and, indeed, extraordinarily resilient.

Untill The End
Perhaps I hide it well, or maybe to my heart you're blind, but if you look very close, you're sure to find... that I love you with heart and soul and body and mind. I spend my time thinking about you; sometimes I'm elated and hopeful, and sometimes I'm down and blue, waiting for these sweet dreams of us to come true. There's a picture in my mind, the way I wish it could be, and I believe happiness is possible for you and me. You don't have to look very hard- it's not so difficult to see, that we're as perfect together as shore and sea. The ribbons around my heart, are the ties that bind; I'm a slave to the oldest type of bondage known to mankind. And I'll always be right here waiting for you, my heart ever hopeful that these dreams will come true, but whether or not they do until the end of time,

The Beat Of My Heart
Ooh the beat of my heart
Ooh the beat of my heart
Always here
Ill be close to you
But you wont see me
On the street or underground
Ill be there somewhere
You can look around
You can listen out
But you wont find me
Beyond the shadow
Of a doubt
Oh Ill be there for you
Youve been living in another world
Ever since I met you
Dont wanna treat you like a little girl
I know you better
The beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
To the beat of my heart
Youll find your way
H-o-m-e
The beat of my heart
You wont be lonely
Girl Im here
And Ill always be
There when you need me
Close at hand
Never far away
Ill be there for you
Youre such a crazy little pretty girl
How could I ever forget you
You tried to take me to another world
But I wouldnt let you
And the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
To the beat of my heart
You wont be lonely
The beat of my heart
Better listen to me now
The beat of my heart
Calling you
H-o-m-e
Ooh the beat of my heart
You wont be lonely
Youve been living in another world
Ever since I met you
Dont wanna treat you like a little girl
I know you better
And the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
To the beat of my heart
You wont be lonely
The beat of my heart
Better listen closely now
The beat of my heart
And its calling you
H-o-m-e
Ooh the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
For the beat of my heart
Youll find your way home
H-o-m-e
Ooh the beat of my heart
Ooh the beat of my heart
Its calling you
H-o-m-e

When they talk about family values, it's in a repressive way, as if our American tradition were only the Puritan tradition or the 19th century oppressive tradition. The Christian tradition.

Heritage, You Spin
Beauty is verily rediscovered
In nature's resplendent hues
As she taps spaces in my lonely heart
Those that have not yet been awakened
To the langoured looks of her sensuality
As she lies untouched and waiting
To be embraced and owned as one more
Of god's creation, unrivalled jewel since time
Culture is fruitfully unfolded
In mankind's channelled behaviour
As she rips spaces in my bruised heart
That has only often seen her cruel side
As painful actions of her ruthlessness
Beam larger in comparison to her appealing ways
To be endorsed and sanctified as yet another
Of the Maker's endowment since mankind's birth
Tradition is carefully unveiled
In bountiful streaks of concern
As she clings unwittingly to my heart
In those ridges that grope for miracles
While bounden immaculate mercies lie unharnessed
As they zoom past as if on flying wheels
To be accepted, unsuspected and unchallenged
As His mastery spans creatures great and small
In time we shall decidedly know!
That beauty discards its mask to be rediscovered
That culture instills spirituality to be unfolded
That tradition abandons its scent to be unveiled
In time, we shall surely come to know!

Quick Is The Beat Of My Heart
Written by lewis mark
Lead vocals by james young
If its my time to die today
Please God oh make it fast
Balanced on this point for a year and half
I just dont think I can last
Theres a man whos laid to rest
The man who gave me my start
I wish I could quit but I cant and its rough
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
So please all you people
Dont you grieve for me
The blood in my veins is black and I cant bleed
Ive suffered the pain
And all I can face is the dark
Oh, lord, quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Now my bags are almost packed
The trains about to depart
I wish I could quit but I cant and its rough
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
If its my time to die...

Sweet Old World
(lucinda williams)
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
The breath from your own lips, the touch of fingertips
A sweet and tender kiss
The sound of a midnight train, wearing someones ring
Someone calling your name
Somebody so warm cradled in your arm
Didnt you think you were worth anything
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
Millions of us in love, promises made good
Your own flesh and blood
Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes
The beat, the rhythm, the blues
The pounding of your hearts drum together with another one
Didnt you think anyone loved you
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world

Beat Of Love
This is for the ones
That like to party till dawn
And the beat wont stop
Till the last one drops
And the people wont stay
If the dj dont play
This if for the ones
Who like to really have fun
And the bad girls do
What the bad boys want to
And the good girls dont
And the good guys really want to
But theyre scared
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know but its no place of mine
And that place Ill never be
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know cause my hearts beating fine
Thumpin bumpin
This is for the old
And the new school too
From the beat box sands
To the hip hop waste land
From the house of blues
To the jazzy and the cool
This is for the world
Or wherever you are
On the sun or moon
Or in between those two
You are never too far
To connect with all of us
From which you stand
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know but its no place of mine
And that place Ill never be
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know cause my hearts beating fine
Thumpin bumpin
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know but its no place of mine
And that place Ill never be be
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know cause my hearts beating fine
And it beats on time
This is for the year
And the years to come
So lets celebrate
And let us elevate our fellow mankind
Its purposive love through others
Human waste
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know but its no place of mine
And that place Ill never be
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know cause my hearts beating fine
Thumpin bumpin
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know but its no place of mine
And that place Ill never be be
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know cause my hearts beating fine
And it beats on time
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know but its no place of mine
And that place Ill never be
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know cause my hearts beating fine
Thumpin bumpin
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know but its no place of mine
And that place Ill never be be
Whats the world without a beat of love
I dont know cause my hearts beating fine
And it beats on time

My Way Out
You brought me into this world,
Only to tear me apart piece by piece.
I'm nothing but a toy to you
An i will never be anything more.
You left me alone all on my own
the cuts left from you hurt
they burn melting me inside.
You left me for dead
knowing what would happen
I wish you could see me,
Just turn around and see me cry
An realize the damage you have caused.
I look around praying you will be there
Just so i can say good bye.
I take a blade,
and force it through my beating heart
the beat stops as i bleed out.
You brought me in this world,
now I'm seeing my way out

Captain Nemo
Captain nemo is too good for you and me
Take a voyage to the bottom of the sea
Hes a riddle you will see in the middle of the sea
If you ask him things about life, then he will say:
Oh no, Im far too continental for mankind
I dont interfere in your life
See me as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
Captain nemo knows the world be we dont know
What control of light and darkness means
Hell show
If we come in peace at heart
He may help us to restart what went wrong
So long ago from down below
Oh no, Im far too continental for mankind
I dont interfere in your life
See me as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
See him as a searcher with the answers to mankind
Hes far too continental
Though hes wiser than all man
He is curious about the plan
Violated by the man, the master plan
Oh no, hes far too continental for mankind
He doesnt interfere in your life
See him as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
Oh no, hes far too continental for mankind
He doesnt interfere in your life
See him as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
Oh no, hes far too continental for mankind
Under the sea

My heart beat
It all seems like today
Ages have passed by…
My heart missed a beat
When I first saw you
When you stretched out your hand
When you spoke to me first
When you said you look good
When you stood talking for hours
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I met you
When we started dating
When we went on shopping
When we spent time in each other’s company
When we were in each other’s arms
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I wanted to say something
When you found that life was miserable
When you thought I should live with you
When you enjoyed my company
When you proposed to me
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I felt your love
When we first had a talk
When we had a long walk
When we never heard the waves on the shore
When we knew we loved each other
My heart missed a leap
My heart missed a leap
When I lost words
When you found them for me
When you touched me first
When you blew in my ears
When you kissed me first
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I saw the ring
When we decided
When we finalized things
When we knew everything was fine
When we heard the revolt
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I saw you parents
When you said your mother’s decision
When you were thinking twice
When you wanted to satisfy both
When your thoughts wavered
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I understood you
When we decided to go ahead
When we said this is the right time
When we told our friends
When we held hands
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I became your wife
When you were all to myself
When you said you love me lots
When you and your mother accepted me
When you became my world
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I knew a life in me
When we realized the fact
When we understood our culmination’s fruit
When we were to be too proud
When we heard a heart in me
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I first heard them cry
When you saw with sparkling eyes our babies
When you said they resemble me
When you said I am now a proud father of two
When you said I love you for this
My heart missed a beat
My heat missed a beat
When I heard them call me mom
When we were proud parents
When we shared happy moments
When we saw them grow
When we heard good things about them
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I knew it was time for marriages again
When you said just both of us now
When you saw me with love
When you said you look young still
When you whispered I love you
My heart missed a beat
You are a part of me
Even in our ripe old age
My heart beats only for you from day one
The day yours stop so will mine stop
For my heart beats only for you…
It all seems like today
Ages have passed by…

My heart beat
01/09/2010
My heart beat
My heart beat
My heart beats with worry and sorrow
Seeing mankind climbing the ladder of hate
Seeing mankind fading away the love for humanity
My heart bleeds
My eyes cry sadness as blood brothers and sisters
hate on each other
The love I have for my sisters is deep
The care I feel for my brother is deep
None can separate my siblings and I
For we forever one
My heart beats play songs of sorrow and pain
My heart bleeds with sorrow and pain when I see
Homeless yuts begging on the streets
Where are you mother of earth set to nature and feed this young one
GOD why plant a seed on hateful woman
All eyes are on you woman of prostitution
All eyes are you woman of abortion
Defiling the survival of humanity by allowing vanity to control you
Who is to look after the nation and keep it clean when you are
Soulfully unclean
Move away from the darkness mankind
Can't you see the women are dying
Can't you the children are still crying
Hunger pains the stomach
Hunger supresses the brain to lowest level of thinking
I feel the pain in the core of my chest
I feel my heart beat, the drums in my brain
Makes my ears buzz when I hear the cry of the children on the streets
My feet get cold and my toes cramp as they feel the cold on the side walks of Jozi
My heart beats with sorrow and worry
Seeing mankind turning a blind eye on Poverty
My heart beats sing a sad song, a sad song
That tells me to fight poverty
Lets fight poverty people
Lets give to the needy
Take care of our elders
Feed our children
Love the nation
because my heart beats sing a sad song, a sad song.
My heart beat
