Extremely strong, effective, tenacious, and powerful political networks can be built when you fight losing battles as well as when you win.

Extremely Powerful
Those choosing to sit
And do nothing with their lives
Are extremely powerful
And this is not an accusation
This is an observation put into activation
They can toss and display their garbage
Blatantly in the streets with ease
And have meetings with authorities
To prioritize their every whim and need
With a cleaning up after them
Solicited from donations
Or other funds given to them to implement
Every entertainment diversion and whim
Just to keep them doing
Exactly as they please to appease
With a keeping of them from becoming restless
As a straining drains minds from calling them lazy
To maintain a political correctness
That has never been cost effective
Or a discipline enforce to sustain one's respect
Because this would be regarded as discrimination

We need to get roads built, ... We need to get funding fixed for Boone County. I'd much rather see them spend time on those issues than I would fighting off political battles.

My Almighty Comes To Defend With A Rescue
No more fighting battles.
No more fighting battles.
No more fighting battles from a saddle I no longer sit!
No more fighting battles.
No more fighting battles.
No more fighting battles from a saddle I no longer sit!
No more fighting battles.
No more fighting battles.
I...
Do believe,
My Creator has a plan for me.
Without those battles,
Fought straddled to a saddle.
And I don't,
Fight any battle
Strapped high on any saddle.
No I don't,
Fight any battle
Strapped high on any saddle.
My Almighty comes,
To defend
With a rescue.
And to fight my battles.
Those battles fought from saddles.
My Almighty comes,
To defend
With a rescue.
And to fight my battles.
Those battles fought from saddles.
No more fighting battles.
No more fighting battles.
No more fighting battles from a saddle I no longer sit!
No more fighting battles.
No more fighting battles.
No more fighting battles from a saddle I no longer sit!
No more fighting battles.
No more fighting battles.
My Almighty comes,
To defend
With a rescue.
And to fight my battles.
Those battles fought from saddles.
My Almighty comes,
To defend
With a rescue.
And to fight my battles.
Those battles fought from saddles.
My Almighty comes,
To defend
With a rescue.

Imagination
So you're trying to make connection, you heard whispers in the hall
She'll be out again this evening, when you come around to call
So, you dodge the lady-killer, who came creepin' 'cross the floor
Then you caught up in a whirlwind, you got blown right out the door
Oh, yes it was a whirlwind, sweet romance was on your side
If you wanna dance on my face, you must tell me why you lied
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
When you try to believe her just a little too much
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
I'll go out of my mind, if i'm losing your touch
I see a look of recognition, so well hidden in your eye
And your peepshow regulations, they just don't seem to apply,
Well, did i see you in the circus, in the ring without a hand
Now you think that you can curse us, steal the show and stop the band
Oh, you can follow your dreams, oh but please don't lead me on,
If you wanna bleed in my face, you were here and now you're gone
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
When you try to believe her just a little too much
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
I'll go out of my mind, if i'm losing your touch
I'll go out of my mind, if i'm losing your touch
I'll go out of my mind, if i'm losing your touch

2 Prince, Another One I Wrote
Murder is losing its mind, I am losing my patience
Chris Hani was murdered on 10 April
Political reasons are speculations
Speculation is a political reason
An African political prince
Was butched motive is mysterious
The brutal murder is a fatal error
This world is unjust
The land I see was sad
And the soil I walk in felt the pain
Lucky Dube was murdered on 19 October
An African prince of reggae was assassinated
Political reasons are speculations
Speculation is a political reason
Still the cause murder is baffling
Butchered for the love of the nation
And passion for country men

The Gash
Is that gash in your leg
Really why you have stopped?
?Cause I've noticed all the others
Though they're gashed, they're still going
?Cause I feel like the real reason
That you're quitting, that you're admitting
That you've lost all the will to battle on
Will the fight for our sanity
Be the fight of our lives?
Now that we've lost all the reasons
That we thought that we had
Still the battle that we're in
Rages on till the end
With explosions, wounds are open
Sights and smells, eyes and noses
But the thought that went unspoken
Was understanding that you're broken
Still the last volunteer battles on
Battles on
Battles on

I've been in situations that could have been chaotic. So far, I haven't had to get involved in the kinds of politics that can make a project a war zone. You've got to choose your battles and choose them wisely. You're dealing with a lot of egos, a lot of extremely, extremely "sensitive people" in commercial television production.

Political and social events must also be effective, but not in a very obvious fashion. But political confusion and prolonged peace undoubtedly affect creative thought but whether they respectively hinder or help it is not at all certain.

When life has turned you bitter, and truth you see no more.
We all fight our battles,
we all fight our wars.
We all open chasms,
we all close the doors.
Fight while you can,
fight while you might.
Fight but in vain,
against one's own loveless light.
Victory but a veil,
of lies, treacheries and deceit.
Lie to yourself. Go on,
we all do.
Success can be built on a strong relationship between a lobbyist and a single, powerful lawmaker.

We often don't think of them, we think of the great wars and the great battles, but what about losing a son or a daughter, or a girl losing her husband or vice versa? I think of the people who never got the chance to have the opportunities I had.

God's Protection
Each of us has a course to follow,
God knows every cross I bare,
God knows the battles brewing,
He protect me with His care.
God has set the course I follow,
He knows how much that I can bare,
God will help me fight my battles,
When I go to Him in prayer.
God has given me the power,
He has set the course we share,
God will keep me in the battles,
He protects me with His care.
God protects me with His Spirit,
He delivers me from care,
God defends me in my valleys,
When I go to Him in prayer.
God rejoices in my worship,
He protects me from all harm,
God has helped me win my battles,
Wrapped securely in His arms.

Something About You
Over and over and over I try
To get you off of my mind
But I cant win the fight
Theres a feelin I know
When Im losing in love
Its the feeling I get when I cant get enough
Something about you babe
Makes me feel the way I do
Know that I love you babe
So ya treat me like a fool
Wanna tell me babe
How I fit into your plan
Dont ya deceive me baby
Im just tryin to be your man cause
Oh nobody ever made me feel the is way
And of I think and dream about you every day
And of I could get you out of my mind
Oh but every time I try to run away
Over and over and over I try
To get you off of my mind
But I cant win the fight
Theres a feelin I know
When Im losing in love
Its the feeling I get when I cant get enough
(something about you baby)
Something about you baby
Changed the way I look at need
Is it obsession baby
Or just curiosity
Takin advantage baby
Of my sensitivity
Do what you wanna babe
Just back me sanity
Oh no other loves affected me before
Girl you change the rules but I come back for more
Im a player in this game Ill never win
This addictive loves about to do me in
Over and over and over I try
To get you off of my mind
But I cant win the fight
Theres a feelin I know
When Im losing in love
Its the feeling I get when I cant get enough
(something about you baby)
Over and over I try
To get you off my mind
But I cant win the fight
Theres something about you baby
When I think about you baby
Theres no doubt about it baby
I know its suicide to stay
But baby everytime I try to run away
Oh its just something about you baby
Over and over and over I try
To get you off of my mind
But I cant win the fight
Theres a feelin I know
When Im losing in love
Its the feeling I get when I cant get enough
Something about you babe
Something about you baby
Something about you babe
Something about you
Over and over and over I try
To get you off of my mind
But I cant win the fight
Theres a feelin I know
When Im losing in love
Its the feeling I get when I cant get enough
