I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.

The World Is Mine

Inhale the joy
Inhale the fun
Now its time for me to get on top
Of the world
Inhale the music and the warmth
The crowd is ready to bring me to the top
Of the world
(chorus)
Cause the world is mine
I wont stop this time
Cause the world is mine
And Im feeling so divine
Im part of this illusive show
Time for me to get on stage
Lights fade
Tomorrow youll be at my feet
Saturated senses set me free
Its all I need
The world the world is mine
And Im feeling so divine

A Childish Conversation

A child from one part of the world cries
Malnourishment and infectious disease all should not be mine
A child from another part of the world replies
Obesity and psychiatric disorders are things I can’t deny

A child from one part of the world cries
Why am I working when schooling should be mine
A child from another part of the world replies
There is compulsory schooling here which I can’t deny

A child from one part of the world cries
Why am I working when playing should be mine
A child from another part of the world replies
There are too much entertainments here which I can’t deny

A child from one part of the world cries
Why both of my parents are quarrelling all the time
A child from another part of the world replies
I really admire you for having two instead of one my friend.

Apart

A part of this world I open my eyes and breathe...
Apart of this world I wonder what they think of me on Facebook
A part of this world I laugh at how beautiful everyone is...
Apart of this world I check to see who likes my comments
A part of this world I live in the brilliant orgasm of now...
Apart of this world I lay down some anonymous hate as Guest42
A part of this world I sigh at the joke of separation
Apart of this world I struggle to connect to someone worth it
A part of this world I smile at every pretty girl...
Apart of this world I smile at the pretty girls
A part of this world I am very close, closer than comfort...
Apart of this world I feel so very far away and so alone

A Comedy

MADAM, you bade me act a part,
A comedy of your devising--
Forbade me to consult my heart,
To be sincere--or compromising.

The play was not my own device,
My stage-struck youth lies far behind me;
And yet--I thought it would be nice
To play the part that you assigned me.

Thus have I learned my rôle so well
That, as I play, you question whether
Fate has not taught your jest a spell
To bind me to you altogether.

The truth is this: so ill I wrought
In mastering the part you gave me,
That now 'tis tyrant of my thought,
And nothing in the world can save me!

Between me and my work, your face,
In haunting fashion, daily lingers;
Your eyes make mine their dwelling place
Your dream-hand thrills my idle fingers.

Through death-white nights I dream of you--
Of what might move, and what has moved you--
Ah! no! There's nothing you can do!...
...It's not as though I really loved you.

Life Was A Play (The World A Stage)

(Johnny McCollum/Pal Rakes/Nelson Larkin)
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
Lust, love and greed were in my heart
I thought I had to play each part
I'd skip school and get in a fight
Had a different girl every Friday night
But it all came out in the wash
Dad always said boys will be boys
Mom and dad backed me through it all
Picked me up each time I'd fall
In fact they called it growing pains
And said all kids must try such things
They kept the faith and brought me through
I still make a mistake or two
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
I lost my driver's license twice
For speeding and running red lights
But like all kids I lived and learned
Play with fire and you'll get burned
I bucked the system day and night
Smoked cigarettes and tried the wine
Thought breakin' rules was bein' cool
It's clear to me now I was a fool
Mom and dad backed me through it all
Picked me up each time I'd fall
In fact they called it growing pains
And said all kids must try such things
They kept the faith and brought me through
I still make a mistake or two
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
Yeah everything turned out ok
Life was a play and the world a stage

The Play

Hey look at you now
Don't cry, pick yourself off the ground
You say you're through with love and..
It tore you down
And you tried to stay and take it somehow
Your whole life's ahead now
Don't let it get to you
There's no real reason to
Carry the weight of the world
Hey, it's not what we say
It's how we act here today
It's all in the play on the stage
Hey look at you now, you smile but I see you hurt
You can't hide that from me
You tell me you know
But that's not the way things have to go
When love breaks you down
Don't let it get to you
There's no real reason to
Carry the weight of the world
Hey, no it's not what we say
Its how we act here today
It's all in the play on the stage
Life can be so cruel
Love makes us play the fool
But there'll always be better days
Don't let it get to you
There's no real reason to
Carry the weight of the world
Hey, no it's not what we say
It's how we act here today
Cause we're all in the play on the stage

My Life Is Over With You

(clarke / hicks)
You wanna explain, thats why you called
Save your breath it doesnt matter at all,
Not now, my friend
You played your cards, and you made your choice
I dont wanna listen to your voice,
Not now, my friend
Ive found a new part to play in life
Theres different actors on my stage
Ill set the pace in a world without you
I dont wanna hear the things that you say
cos my life is over with you
Now you know whats on my mind
Dont call again cos you will find
I wont be here
You chose your path to walk along
Now I can sing a different song
I hope thats clear
Chorus
Ive found a new part to play in life
Theres different actors on my stage
Good bye, my love, and dont feel sad
Just because Im feeling glad
That youre not here
Youll go your way and Ill go mine
Maybe well meet some other time
Goodbye, my love

Letter to God

dear god
how little i feel
about myself
despite your claim
that i am the top
of your creation
a little virus
would kill me off
i feel mysellf
a plaything
your plaything
a toy, a puppet
and the world your stage
with my role written
where i should play out my part
talk about freewill?
is there one?
one plus one equals two
an empty stomach
does not have free will
to choose?
a woman with
near dead child at her hands
knows free will is spoken
only by the gods
in their written scripts
to enliven their puppets
to act out
i know too after all
the theatrical parts
like a buffalo led by the noose
i will be torn out
of existence
as you plan your next play
like the sun
that comes after heavy rain
the land cleaned of its dirt,
where fresh breeze blows
i am but then
would be lost
in existence
consciouness
torn to shreds
to get your next
theatre going
not a trace of mine
would be left
on this stage
where i had acted out my part
with flesh, blood and soul
free will
no freewill and all
god, you the puppeteers

God Created The Lamb And The Tiger Also

When God created the world, called it 'GOOD',
He didn't say some is good, some is bad, but this is our lively hood.
That is how here is only the LAW, where we can choose,
Life or malediction, positive or negative, hope or fear or we loose.

Some was created to follow the law,
Some to play out the law as a flaw,
Everything is just a passing play on the stage,
Go on, face your lessons, get wiser with age.

After many experiences you can figure out your part,
Whatever it is your part, play it with all your heart.
Do not try to be what you are not created,
Just follow your inner feelings, do not complicate, be right spirited.

However, the wise will find the way to fate,
Will choose life and never malediction & never hate,
They will live in perfect harmony,
No matter what goes on in the surrounding irony.

Remember, we cannot force the world for our will,
We can change only ourselves, then will disappear all the ill.

All I Need To Know

(steve seskin/mark alan springer)
With a little luck this ol truck will get me home today
With a little more Ill still have this job tomorrow
Weather man says a wet weekend he just might be right
But rain or shine youll be mine tonight
Thats all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
Ill always have you to hold
And thats all I need to know
Heaven knows I aint even close to bein gods gift to women
But in your arms I feel like I am
I dont know it all, I sure cant solve
The problems of the human race
But I know how to bring a smile to your face
Thats all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
Ill always have you to hold
And thats all I need to know
Darlin, say it one more time
You will forever be mine
Thats all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
Ill always have you to hold
And thats all I need to know
Ill always have you to hold
Thats all I need to know

If This World Was Mine

If this world were mine, I would stop people from killing each other.
I would give money to the poor.
If this world were mine, I would stop people from selling drugs to little kids.
If this world were mine, I would make sure that kids would go to school.
I would make sure there was enough food to eat.
If this world were mine, I would stop the war.
If this world were mine, I would make sure fathers paid child support.
If this world were mine, I would try to make this world a better place to live in.
If this world were mine, I would stop people from drinking and driving.
If this world were mine, we would all love each other as one.

(Rejection Poem) Another Lie

The world is my stage.
I'm tired of being locked in a cage.
But it is in me to be free?
It is my destiny.
Just get away from me before I hurt you.
Your all the same
You come expecting something I just can no longer give.
Oh its getting harder and harder to forgive.
No i shall not relive it.
I'm gone already.
Don't have to look my direction ever again.
I won't ever wave.
Life is always fun and games to you.
Guess what this an absolute screw you.
You say friends matter.
I say where were you?
Leaving me alone to my own devices
like you always do.
Your mistake,
your heartache.
I won't even apologizes.
Because I was just living another lie.
A fantasy world I thought I could survive.
But I just died a little inside.
Its getting easier to sail these dark skies.
And this where I stake my claim.
On the world stage.
Becoming part of the rave.
Photogenic,
sympathetic,
to those less fortunate then you.
Guilt doesn't eat at me,
but becomes part of me.
You can't shoot me down
when I didn't ask.
Your thinking way to fast.
Slow down cause its already over.

Zeroes And Ones

(original by jesus jones; remixed by liam)
Across the world the message flies
Information, truth and lies
It's all yours and it's all mine
You just have to find the time
We're all the same, we share the blame, we play the games
If it's yes or no the decision is easy, it's easy
Zeroes and ones will take us there.
This time the revolution will be computerised
You'll know it as you do it
In real time before your eyes
Slip between realities
There's more to this than anything that you or i can see
The world is mine, the world is yours and here's the cause
Zeroes and ones will take us there.
I've stared into the heart of it all
Seen the pictures on the wall
The beat of a heart
The oceans part and the patterns in my mind
This time, we've split the world once more
There's those that have and that don't in information wars
Wer'e not alone 'cos all is known, and it's everywhere
Zeroes and ones will take us there

Half The World

Only one shadow on the wall
Just one candle burning bright
I hold your picture to my heart
Im alone inside the night
The sun comes up in china ... the lights go on in rome
Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold
Half the world is praying theyll never be alone
Everytime you leave me a part of me goes too
And half your world is waiting here for you
I reach across an empty bed
I hear your whisper in my ear
But like the sun without the moon
Its half a dream without you here
The train that takes you from me
Brings somebody home
Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold
Half the world is praying theyll never be alone
Everytime you leave me a part of me goes too
And half your world is waiting here for you
Baby the earth stands still
When Im lying next to you
No matter where you go
Our whole worlds inside this room
The sun comes up in china
The lights go on in rome ... oh
Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold
Half the world is praying theyll never be alone
And everytime you leave me my heart breaks in two
And half the world is waiting here for you
Im waiting here for you ...

The Stage

If the world is just a stage
and we're the actors in it,
why do the same ones get to play
the lead roles every minute?

For once I'd like to see a change
take place upon this stage
where the lead characters are the poor
stepping out of their cage.

Where all the minor roles would be given out
to all the power players
who've controlled this drama from the start
having never said their prayers.

And as the curtain rose each day
we would look and see
the poor and needy in front row seats,
the rulers in standing room only.

If this is just a stage we're on
and life is just a play,
then wouldn't it be ingenious
to see them all portray
us.

Little Part Of You

I dont want to take you prisoner
Or do it against your will
I wouldnt ever take you over
Only want a little part of you
Only want a little part of you
I would never leave you stranded
Alone on some point of view
Couldnt ever hold you under
Only want a little part of you
Only want a little part of you
I know that the world
All its diamonds and its pearls
Could never buy you
Could never even try to
Wouldnt ever bring you sadness
Leave you standing in the rain
Never thought you would be easy
Only want a little part of you
Only want a little part of you
I know that the world
All its diamonds and its pearls
Could never buy you
Could never even try to

Throwing me away

As missing the world sent away
I begin beckoning
Missing the world
The boring world came closer one strand by one strand

That one strand and one strand pierce me
I just start to beckon, though

Since I can't hold my heart
I struggle toward that world with trembling heart

Until the whole world is mine
You have to be mine

Im In The World

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Im in the world
Im in the world
Im in the world
I must be part of it
At last convinced
To the right of it
Im in the world
For some reason or another
Sometimes I get up
And sometimes I dont bother
But Im here
Im here for, oh lord, who knows?
My light gets dim
Then it glows, ooh yeah
Im in the world
Im in the world
Im in the world
And being what it is
Ive learnt to look
To look beyond the tears
Im in the world
Though hearts dont break even
Ill take my chances
cause it aint about leaving
Im here
Im here and I wont apologize
Maybe at the end therell be a surprise
Oh, yeah
cause Im in the world
Good or bad
Im in the world
Yes, Im here
Im in the world
Im here, Im here
Im in the world
Im in the world
Im here
Im in the world
Oh, yes, oh, yes
Im in the world
Good or bad
Im here in the world

Let Me Give World To You

last chance to make believe in always and all it seems
train wrecks hide underneath your umbrella
set the frame destiny on this first name soliloquy
tired symphonies play downward
let me give the world to you my love
let me give the world to you my love
let me show you what i'm thinking of
let me give the world to you my love
so far
so far
so far
lovers form dead excuse
and blur the line with soul abuse
my lonesome lines just have no use around here
new skin may hold you in
but the old skin still turns us on
flicker fades the nitrate dawn to wear
let me give the world to you my love
let me show you what i'm thinking of
times are hard and we're the last in line
cause in my grief i'd forgotten what was mine
no i wouldn't change a thing
no i, no
no i wouldn't change a thing about the way you are
the distance here, the speed so far
so far
so far
so far
let me give the world to you my love
let me give the world to you my love
let me give the world to you
let me give the world to you
let me give the world to you
let me give the world to you
let me give the world to you my love
so far
so far

Hold My Hand

With a little love, and some tenderness
Well walk upon the water
Well rise above this mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
Well take the world together
Well take em by the hand
cause Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair
I said get up, and let me see you smile
Well take a walk together
Walk the road awhile, cause
cause Ive got a hand for you
Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Wont you let me run with you? yeah
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can
See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
I dont wanna be part of your problems
Dont wanna be part of your crowd, no
cause Ive got a hand for you
Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Ah, wont you let me run with you?
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we cant change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I...oh...no, no, no, no, no
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we cant change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, best that I can
Oh, the best that I can
