When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.

Say What You Want
aug,14,2010
to you i don't matter,
i'm a failure you don't have to accept,
i'm crazy and insane,
to do the things i've done,
i'm not as important as you are,
cuz you feel you are at the top,
i'm everything you want to be,
because you always play it safe,
you let people take advantage,
but pick on me cuz you think you can,
i find myself mature for letting things go,
but, when you see me,
i'm like your worse nightmare,
i hold to my word,
i thought you do the same,
but by the looks of it,
you thought i have forgotten,
everything we talked about,
and everything you put me through,
only linger because of the anger i felt,
when i thought i could trust you,
but all i gotten was empiness,
when to my suprise,
you were everythin i thought you would be,
and about me,
i know who i am,
and you missed your chance,
of completly knowing who i am.

Leave It All Behind
Here we go
Closer to the end
Let me know
Ill be your only friend
Things you thought you understood
Are all the things I lack
So sorry
And Id leave it all behind
With no regard for what Ill find
In time youll see
That you cant breathe without me
Life and times go by
Well I know nothing is ok
Will it show if I try to numb the pain?
Things you thought you understood
Are all the things Im not
So sorry and so afraid

Finding Solace
We all have troubled times
when days are full of woe
we need to find solace
but we don't know where to go.
So we look for it in drink
but that can make things worse
some even end up in hospital
looked after by a nurse.
Others find comfort with food
but too much can make you overweight
they say I'll cut back soon
but by then it can be far too late.
A lot look for comfort with Cigarettes
saying it brings solace to their need
but then they can become addicted
to the dangerous dreaded weed.
Many go searching for religion
hoping to find peace along the way
but as soon as things start to go wrong
they give up and don't bother to even pray.
So where can we find comfort and solace?
it's a lot harder to obtain than you think
if it's not in food, drugs, or the church,
and not in Tobacco and the demon drink.
What about if it doesn't even exist?
and solace can't be found anywhere,
we may discover it's all in the mind
and you won't find it as it's not even there!

Have Hope
Have hope, friend
Because with it you can move mountains
With hope you can climb the Everest.
Nothing can stop you from you aims
When you have hope.
I saw you when you are down
Thinking that all mountain of life
Are too high for climbing
But with hope you can do it.
You think that all things are impossible
But with hope all things are possible.
I saw you when you cry
And shed many tears
Because many scorn you
They reject you because they thought you are failure
But have hope
Because the rejected might be the appreciated
Just have hope and surely, you will rejoice.

Circumspection
Many things i see concern me about people
I see people do stupid things
I see people do things to help the world
I see people do many things that someday they will not be proud of
Concerns come from the stupid things i see people do
If there a thousands of people doing things that i see
The world is a lot worse than what i thought
But other things i see cause me to see the good side of things
People that i see do acts of kindness make me see the world in other ways
But from what i see some people do i am filled with concern.

Fire And Rain
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this mornin' and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
[chorus]
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you like down upon me Jesus
You gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin'and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way
[chorus]
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walkin' my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and fine machines in pieces on the ground
[chorus]
Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things comin' my way this time around
Thought I'd see, thought I'd see you...

Like And Want
In our life there are always things
that we like and want.
We think the things we like
will lead us to a better life.
Within these thoughts, we forget
the wonderful things we have.
There is an old saying
the grass is always greener
on the other side of the hill,
but when you get there
you find it is the same
as what you left behind.
Therefore, we must first examine
and compare all the things we have
against the things we want.
The results may surprise you
as you have more than you thought.

WhAt sHe Did tO HiM
He loved her more than anything alive
He thought she was the reason for him to survive
He’s always been fair to her
He always told her that she was the reason for his glee
But yet he never knew who she’ll become
And what person she’ll soon be
He thought she loved him as he loved her and even more
But soon he’ll find out that all this love was before
She will change and leave him with no hope for love or trust
He will find out that this love became iron rust
After all he’s done for her...she was never grateful indeed
She will soon tell him that he wasn’t the guy to need
He will be heartbroken, he will lie in despair
Desperation that has no cure and is impossible to repair
He will find it hard to acclimate
He will find it hard to accept
He will soon throw away all her precious things
Things so valuable that he has kept
Nobody can be trusted anymore
Since all this trust was before
It is hard to believe in the word love
Since love is what initiates problems before they are acted upon
And soon he or she that is loved
Will with no doubt
Be internally gone…

Until I Met You
Before I met you, I thought I was happy,
and I was, but I had never known the rich contentment,
deep satisfaction, and total fulfillment
you brought to me when you came into my life.
Before I met you, I felt a lot of things,
good things, but I had never experienced
the indescribably intense feelings I have for you.
Before I met you, I thought I knew myself,
and I did, but you looked deep inside me
and found fresh new things for us to share.
Before I met you, I thought I knew about love,
but I didn't, until I met you.

In the thought of you
In the thought of you
~
What comfort to the night
The thought of you does bring
What warmth to the heart
When I hold you imagining
The embrace of two lovers
Fully entwined in each other
Lost in a solitary look
Where two eyes are bound
How beautiful it all does seem
To ease the mind at night
I sleep with a smile in place
While I picture your company
What more could I ask
Than to be present with you
To share in a moment of time
To find a comfort in the night
Only found in the thought of you

You Inspire
You make me feel things
I thought died a long time ago
Yet I've never seen you
At first
I thought it silly
You inspire me
Make me think of things
I thought could never be
Your writing speaks to me
The man you have become
Touched me to the core
I love you for who you are

The Things That Dreams Are Made Of
Take time to see the wonders of the world
To see the things youve only ever heard of
Dream life the way you think it ought to be
See things you thought youd never ever see
Take a cruise to china
Or a train to spain
Go round the world
Again and again
Meet a girl on a boat
Meet a boy on a train
And fall in love
Without the pain
Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs 2 or 3 friends
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
Take a lift to the top of the empire state
Take a drive across the golden gate
March, march, march across red square
Do all the things youve ever dared
Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs 2 or 3 friends
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
Like fun and money and food and love
And things you never thought of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
New york, ice cream, tv, travel, good times
Norman wisdom, johnny, joey, dee dee, good times
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of

Always someone worse
There are times we feel,
like giving up,
empty, drawn out,
life not worth living,
abused, beaten, raped,
nelected, pushed away,
not loved, not wanted,
you can't run away from your problems,
because, where ever you go,
you have to take you with you,
theres a new tomorrow,
things brighter,
happy times will come,
Always someone worse
I was sad cause i had not shoes,
until i saw someone with no feet.
Always someone worse
I was unhappy because i had,
verry little to eat, until
someone i saw with no food to eat,
so remember, no matter how,
bad it is,
Always someone worse
With a new year almost here,
things will be better,
than before, so have,
hope, faith, march on,
into the new year, trusting,
good things, the new year,
will bring.

Might Have Ben Hur
Everything I know
Tells me she's everything
That I could hope for
Everything I know
Tells me I can't let her walk away
bridge:
I took my time to find the words
I hope she feel'd the same
chorus:
'Cause I want someone to share my smile
To share the pain
To be there when the sea turns gray
To share the joy
For better or worse
And I thought that it might have been her
I thought that it might have been her
Wonder if she knows
The way I saw her soul
Light up my life
Wonder if she knows
of the pain I feel tonight

Very Last Thought
What is the very last thought
that will cross my mind?
Drawing last breath, that thought
not anyone will find.
I'll take it with me
and let it inspire me
to keep me soaring high,
higher than the deep blue sky.
The thought alone is filled with love.
It will not break apart.
It will escape the body I leave behind
and seek a brand new start.
That thought will find its way
and travel to where you'll be
and when it finds its dsetination
that thought will become me.
The question in my last thought
will most probably be
whether or not you'll recognize
that the thought contains me?

Jurisdiction Of Love
Someone said that
No one knows what
Goes on inside
Someone in love
Strange as it seems
It makes them do things
In their right minds
Would never think of
People get away with things
They dont deserve
A jurisdiction of love
Enoughs not enough
When love gets rough
The jurisdiction of love
Off their walls
Just like niagara falls
Logical thought
Is no comfort
It only makes the
Matter seem worse
Might equals right
In concubial fight
The jurisdiction of love
Love equals war
I dont like it no more
The jurisdiction of love
People get away with things
They dont deserve
A jurisdiction of love
When love turns the crank
It demands carte blanche
The jurisdiction of love

You're A God
you're a god
I've got to be honest
I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's ok
There's somewhere beyond this i know
But i hope i can find the words to say
Never again no
No never again
Chorus
'cause you're a god
And i am not
And i just thought
That you would know
You're a god
And i am not
And i just thought
I'd let you go
But i've been unable
To put you down
I'm still learning things i ought to know by now
It's under the table so
I need something more to show somehow
Never again no
No never again
Chorus
I've got to be honest
I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's ok
There's somewhere beyond this i know
But i hope i can find the words to say
Never again no
No never again
