For this is the journey that men and women make, to find themselves. If they fail in this, it doesn't matter much else what they find.

It Really Doesn't Matter
You say your ugly, i say it doesn't matter.
You say you have a dark past,
i say it doesn't matter.
You say theirs overwhelming responsibility,
i say it doesn't matter.
I don't believe in walking away when things get hard.
In fact they are my spark to continue my march.
Through thick and thin where to begin.
You say you don't have a way.
I say it doesn't matter.
You say that you cant give back what you would like.
I say it doesn't matter.
You say, you say oh it really doesn't matter,
I live one day at a time.
Choices will be made that will save the day
but hurt me financially.
It doesn't matter Choice will be made
that will set me back in my expectations.
It doesn't matter,
It really doesn't matter.
Its well worth it.
To see the beauty that
you have placed before me.
Oh how its worth it.
To settle down and not be looking to be found.

Me, Myself, And I
i don't capitalize my name.
that would imply i matter.
and why should i think i matter
when deep down we're all the same?
and i also find it true
that when we are all scattered,
it doesn't even matter
what it is we dreamed we'd do.
for in these dreams i take the blame—
well, in the dreams that matter—
and though my soul's still battered
i find no fault with your claim.
i am not important, true,
and disregarding what you've tattered,
i see now not one thing matters—
at least according to You.
Other Me
I Know I Was A Crazy Fool
For Treating You The Way I Did
But Something Took Hold Of Me
And I Acted Like A Dustbin Lid
I Didn't Give Second Though
To What The Consequence Might Be
I Really Wouldn't Be Surprised
If You Were Trying To Find Another Me
The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One
The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool
I Want To Be The Kind Of Me
That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule
I Know It Doesn't Take A Lot
To Have A Little Self-Control
But Every Time That I Forgot
Well I Landed In Another Hole
But Everytime You Pull Me Out
I Find It Harder Not To See
That We Can Build A Better Life
If I Can Try To Find The Other Me
The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One
The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool
I Want To Be The Kind Of Me
That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule
But If I Ever Hurt You
Well You Know That It's Not Real
It's No Easy Living By Yourself
So Imagine How I Feel
I Wish That I Could Take It Back
I'd Like To Make A Different Mood
And If You Let Me Try Again
I'll Have A Better Attitude
Well I Know That One And One Make Two
And That's What I Want Us To Be
I Really Would Appreciate It
If You'd Help Me Find The Other Me
The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One
The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool
I Want To Be The Kind Of Me
That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule

Once In A Lifetime (feat. Human Nature)
ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Kenny Loggins and Human Nature
Runaway Bride
Something about you
Oh, could it be I finally found
My destiny
Now here you are
Within my reach
How did I miss you? (how did I miss you)
When you were out there all the time
It took this moment
To make me realize...
Once in a Lifetime
You find your reason for living
You find the one that makes your every dream
Come true
(Find the one that makes your dreams...)
Oh I could search the world forever
But no one else could do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you
Ahh..
Once in a lifetime, ohh
I've waited for so long (so long)
Makin this can't nothin be but a lie
Cause all about
Standing by wind, oohh
Alone in the crowd, oh oh oh
I went through the motion (went through the motion)
Then out of heaven you arrived
Whatever was wrong
Suddenly is right
Cause once in a lifetime
You find the reason for living
You find the one who makes your every dream
Come true
(Find the one who makes your dream...)
No, I could search the world forever
And no one else would do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you
(Find someone like you...)
Hearts that wait for love can grow so weary
(Don't you know... a heart can grow?)
But it doesn't matter anymore
When you find the one you've waited for...
You find your reason for living
You find the one that makes your every dream come ... oh you make it come true
Oh you could search the world forever
But no one else would do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you.....
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone.....
Someone like you......
(Ahhh...)
Whoaaa......................

Im All For You
Bresler / wynn
Let our friends say what they want to say
If Im wrong Ill be the one to pay
No matter if its true
Youll find that Im all for you
Let the cards predict well drift apart
And the stars forfeit of broken heart
No matter it they do
Youll find that Im all for you
I only know come what may
Youll always find me by your side
I may be a fool
Time alone will decide
Let them all say that its just a game
And Im sure to lose
But just the same no matter if I do
Youll find that Im all for you

The Journey
Sometimes we lose something
that is precious and dear.
We are unsure how we lost it,
as the reason is is not always clear.
In our search to find it
we discover other things lost,
some of which we had forgotten about.
Then we find what we had lost
and think back on the journey
we took to find it.
The answer why we misplaced it
suddenly becomes clear
in the journey we took to find it again.

Be A Fighter
Fail is a part of success
So don't be sorry for failure
Just use it so you won't fall again
Hard work is all what I ask from you
Never give up always have faith
Because that will make you alive
Never surrender but keep fighting
Life is a battle you have to win
How much sacrifices that you will do
How much pain will happen to you
Never give up always be a head
Work and fight forever
Even if you die, die as a fighter
Then people will know
That you find your way in life
It was never about reaching the top
It's the journey that you make
The journey that you stayed alive in it
Even if you left life

Where I Stand
Well I'm a wreck and I'm a tangle
And tho I try to find an angle
Can't find my way around you
No matter what I do
And nothing's right since you left me
My life was full but now it's empty
Can't find my way around you
You say, that you can't see a way
That I can be a part of you
It doesn't matter what I do
Tried every trick that I could think of
But you don't seem to think it's true love
You take no notice of me
Oh my, chance has passed me by
See a way to change your mind
Just let me know and I'll keep trying
All my confidence is gone
I was pretty sure that you would come along
Thought that I would be your man
But now I never know just where I stand
With you
I used to be the kind of guy
Who could be in your arms before you'd realize
Now the tables have been turned
If you play with fire you know you sure get burned
All my confidence...
Just where I stand, where I stand
where I stand with you
I never know, you had to go
where I stand with you
You broke my heart
It came apart
Where do I stand with you?

You Don't Really Miss Me
When you miss me,
just look up the sky
and you will find me
among the clouds...
if you fail to find me
that's because
you don't really miss me.
When you miss me
I know you will come
no matter how far we are...
if you fail to come
that's because
you don't really miss me.

Selecting a reader
It really doesn’t matter
how she looks, although I would prefer
her to be pretty and maybe a little bit witty
with a good sense of humour
and maybe in the dead of the night
when life is at its loneliest
or early in the morning,
or any time will really do
she will find time,
maybe from a busy life,
or caring for her kids
to switch her computer on
and on the internet
find a line
which means something to her
and if she smiles, laughs, cries,
are infuriated, concerned
or thinks that my poems are utter rubbish
it doesn’t really matter
as she had seen the world,
through my eyes
and has experienced life
in a different way.

Secret Journey
Upon a secret journey
I met a holy man
His blindness was his wisdom
Im such a lonely man
And as the world was turning
It rolled itself in pain
This does not seem to touch you
He pointed to the rain
You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
And when youve made your secret journey
You will find the love you miss
And on the days that followed
I listened to his words
I strained to understand him
I chased his thoughts like birds
You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
And when youve made your secret journey
You will find the love you miss
You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
You will see joy in this sadness
You will find this love you miss
And when youve made your secret journey
You will be a holy man

We Are Lost
album: one-armed bandit$
track: 09
I wanna climb up in the sky with you
To seize the stars and put them on your head
I wanna take you down
where the sun begins
a journey on the clouds once again
I wonder if I will ever see your face again
and the rest of my opinion is of no importance
guess I have made a choice
for us
we are lost
in this world
we are lost
in this time
we are lost
we decide
we are lost
we are lost, lost in our own world
It doesn't even matter if you like it or not
we are lost, lost in our own world
It doesn't even matter if you're happy or not
We are lost, lost in are own world
It doesn't even matter if you like it or not
We are lost, lost in our own world
It doesn't even matter if you're happy or not

Let Women Preach Too
It’s through God’s word we stand reborn
Both men and women too
Through Christ we see The Spirit’s dawn
Drinking The Morning Dew
Let women preach let people see
In Christ we’re all the same
Did God not set both genders free
Is this not why He came
Are women not to spread God’s word?
Is this not Heaven's plan?
Should man believe it quite absurd?
Though love declares they can
Our Father's face we need to seek
Not reason how it looks
Through Jesus’ Spirit man should speak
Not preach from worldly books
If in the church you sit in doubt
If still you fail to see
Ask Jesus what it’s all about
How Truth sets childen free
Let wisdom reign, seek God each day
The facts to understand
From women too we’ll find the way
When in the Master’s hand
What man may say I’ve little care
It's Truth! I’m looking for
If Christ’s not here I’ll go elsewhere
I’ll find another door
One day you too may walk inside
You’ll find me sitting here
Like me you'll grow to be the bride
Of Him I’ve found so dear.

As it was in the Beginning
As it was in the beginning, so we’ll find it in the end,
For a lover, or a brother, or a sweetheart, or a friend;
As it was in the beginning, so we’ll find it by-and-bye,
When weak women hug their babies, and strong men go out to die.
As ’tis written now, or spoken, so we’ll find it yet in deed—
For their State, or for their Country, for their Honour or their Creed;
For the love of Right, or hatred for the Everlasting Lie,
When the women think of some things, and strong men go out to die.
As it used to be in past times, in the future so it must,
We shall find him stretching forward with his face down in the dust,
All his wounds in front, and hidden—blood to earth, and back to sky,
When pale women pray in private, and strong men go out to die.
Rebels all we are, and brothers—rebels to the laws we make—
Rich or poor, or fat or lean man, fighting for another’s sake;
It is all as God decreed it—we shall find it by-and-bye,
When our girls, disguised in boys’ clothes, go to die where strong men die.

The Sociopath (3)
I think there’s something wrong with me.
I throw my hand into fire yet I do not feel,
Why won’t my skin burn and peel?
There’s no fire left in my life.
The cold wraps around me as an old friend,
One that I’ve never had,
I realise it should feel bad,
But I feel nothing.
I hear a joke and attempt laughter,
But I don’t find anything funny,
I used to find life as sweet as honey,
Now it’s bitterer then vinegar.
There’s nothing left and I wonder what’s wrong,
My life has no passion like it did before,
I am alone and I care not what’s in store,
It hardly even matters,
It doesn’t matter a bit,
It doesn’t matter at all.

Our Choices
I have the hope of a journey on my lovers dream,
And i can see the sun rising up from the east;
But amist to the cheeers of joy and peace is,
One's soul comforted when met with true love.
I have the hope of a journey on this love of yours,
Like our choices in this world of lovers to meet;
But however,
She may be white, brown, green or black;
And he may be blue, red, yellow or pink;
Love is the power supreme and,
Love will surely find a way.
I have the hope on this journey like,
Our choices in this world of lovers;
But the beautiful ones are still being born,
From generations unto generation for us to make a choice.
No matter what it takes,
We will still have a partner in this world;
For love is the power supreme and,
Love will surely find a way to meet you.

When You Find Out Where Youre Goin Let Me Know
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
Cause I love you just enough
To let you go
While youre running free and clear
Please dont disappear
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
When you find out where youre goin
Count me in
And Ill never put you down
For where you been
And Ill join you when you find
That peace within your mind
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
Im letting go for one night
And I know well be all right
Though he may never come back
When he leaves my bed tonight
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
And I promise I wont say I told you so
And when the time comes that you say
You finally found your way
Then no matter where you are
Be sure I know
Then no matter where you are
Be sure I know

Our Love
Ah sweet love I know not where
our love will take us to.
But it doesn't seem to matter
as long as I'm with you.
For I can climb the mountains
that will be so high.
And I can wade the waters
until they all run dry.
I can ride the bumpy roads
that will come along.
And I can brave the hardships
that will make me strong.
I can do all these things
if you're by my side.
No matter where we find ourselves
love will be our guide.
