Lessons
THERE are who teach only the sweet lessons of peace and safety;
But I teach lessons of war and death to those I love,
That they readily meet invasions, when they come.

My Own Kind of Fun
I always have fun every single day
But with doing different things each day
Oh, I always have my own kind of fun
Every day of every year of my life
I love playing pranks on people
I love to act wild beyond my wildest dreams
I love to dance around like crazy
That’s my kind of fun I love to have
I love to bounce on trampolines
I love to sing out loud in the car
I love to act abnormal
That’s the kind of fun I live for
Oh yeah, I love creating my own kind of fun
Every day of my life, a new kind of fun
Oh yeah, it’s awesome having fun everyday
Every day of each year of my life…
Creating my own kind of fun that I love!

State Of Our Souls
The state of my soul
is my problem
the state of your soul
is your problem
why judge in states
of isolated imperfection
the states of our souls
are individual journeys
life holds your challenge lessons
to teach your imperfect soul
life holds my demanding lessons
to teach philosophical lessons universal
imperfection is price of entrance
into this world of testing sorrows
imperfection is imbalance of disharmony
allowing hardships to teach lessons
no soul can learn refining lessons
in a garden of happiness
no soul can endure perfect creation
until emotive dross is burned purity

So I Ask You...What Of The Children?
Who will teach our children?
Who will teach our children? I speak not
of the lessons of school, but those of
life, living and those of God.
Who will teach our children, that in
war no one wins and all humanity loses
a part of who we are.
Who will teach our children, that God,
morality, honesty, love and respect are
the corner stones of the civilized world.
Without them, mankind will crumble and
disappeared forever more.
Who will teach our children of compassion
for their fellow man and respect for anothers
God, or color or creed?
Who will teach our children, all these things
and more?
The answer is whispered in your love...beating
in your heart....and echoed in your soul.
Who will teach our children? ...It must be you.

A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel
From where I stand
I can see thrugh you
From where youre sitting, pretty one
I know it got to you
I see the stars in your eyes
You want the truth, but you need the lies
Like judy garland, like valentino
You give your life for rock n roll
Uh huh
Stand, were on a landslide of love
You got everything you want
But what you need you give away
For primitive love
And a ride on the mistery train
A primitive love
A room at the heart...
The heartbreak hotel
A room at the heartbreak
Heartbreak hotel
A room at the heartbreak
Heartbreak hotel
You say its love, its not the money
You let them suck your life out like honey
Turning tricks, youre on the street
Selling your kisses so bittersweet
[gospel voices]
A primitive love
A and a ride on the mistery train
A primitive love
A room at the heart
The heartbreak hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak,
The heartbreak hotel, hotel
[repeat until end]

We Teach Them Young
We teach them young,
What to dislike.
And...
To separate into divisons,
With preferences selected.
We teach them young,
How to hate and who to fight.
With weapons used to kill.
And incite with mindless deeds.
We...
Teach them this!
We teach them,
With a rehabilitation done...
To respect laws when broken.
With the best of pretentions kept.
We...
Teach them this!
We teach them young,
The art of deception.
Self righteousness and hypocriscy.
And then when they reflect these lessons taught...
We teach them denial to have others believe.
We teach them young with a doing done they do!
And yet we get upset with regrets to protest those tests,
They have passed.
With accusations directed at others to blame,
For implimenting those tasks we teach.
We...
Teach them young!
With a doing of this not to admit.
As we wish for escape from their commitments,
Made.
We...
Teach them young.

Heartbreak Time
The only consolation in this situtation
Is I know you're missing me
The way I'm missing you
I guess that you ain't sleeping and the company you're keeping
they're all gonna offer you
words of comfort too
Time will heal it, that's what they say
But I can't help but wish tomorrow was today
I been doing heartbreak time
and there's no two ways about it
when you're in you just can't doubt it
doing heartbreak time
I been doing heartbreak time
and though I keep believing
it's my heart that I'm decieving
doing heartbreak time
Maybe I'm just pretending but I see a happy ending
well I guess that's just like me
a fool in love you see
I can still recall the day, you said that you'd be mine to stay
words that meant so much
Oh I miss your touch
When you'd call me I'd know what you'd want to say
I can't help it, I wish it was yesterday##############
I been doing heartbreak time
and there's no two ways about it
when you're in you just can't doubt it
doing heartbreak time
I been doing heartbreak time
and though I keep believing
it's my heart that I'm decieving
doing heartbreak time
And though we may be parted
you still hold the key to my heart
and I'm locked away

Dad's Lessons Passed On
He was not filthy rich
But had the depth of knowledge
That he had blessed me with
To face my trials with great courage.
Dad taught me the love for books
A quiet spirit in times of strife
All those years his lesson took
Me through the hardships of my life.
Teach a child the wealth of reading
To feed his mind, keep him from trouble
Values learned he will be using
To grow up wise and be responsible.
Dad's lessons I now try to teach
On the next in line there to impart
My children know their goals to reach
By keeping his lessons in their heart.

Heartbreak Hill
(emmylou harris/paul kennerley)
Long long time ago when we were young
You swore to me I would be the one
I would be the one you loved
But we had to part
You asked me to wait for you
To keep you in my heart
To keep you in my heart
Night after lonely night Im waiting for you still
High above the lights of town here on heartbreak hill
Now maybe I am the foolish kind to think of you so long
Have you found another love
Am I still the one
Am I still the one for you
But youre far away
Do you ever dream of coming back to me someday
Back to me someday
Night after lonely night Im waiting for you still
High above the lights of town here on heartbreak hill
On heartbreak hill alone at night
I think of how you held me tight
And wonder if I ever will see you again
On heartbreak hill
Oh lord if I only could go back in time enough
Id hold you in my arms again
Never let you go
Never let you go my love
And leave me far behind
High upon this lonely hill were you swore to be mine
You swore to be mine
Night after lonely night Im waiting for you still
High above the lights of town here on heartbreak hill
Night after lonely night Im waiting for you still
High above the lights of town here on heartbreak hill
Here on heartbreak hill
Here on heartbreak hill

Hard To Get Over A Heartbreak
(david smalley)
Cant you see its not easy?
Cant you see its not fair?
Cant you see that Im cryin?
Cant you see that I care?
You got my love if you want it
Just let me know and its there
Dont you know that its hard to get over a heartbreak
Its not easy to do
Hard to get over a heartbreak
Thats why Im counting on you
Cant you see Ive been lonely?
Cant you see Ive been down?
Cant you see I tried evrything?
Theres just no love to be found
You got my heart if you want it
But please dont fool around
Dont you know that its hard to get over a heartbreak
Its not so easy to do
Hard to get over a heartbreak
I need your love to pull through
I didnt know it would end this way
How could you do it to me?
It didnt hurt you to say goodbye
But oh, its killing me!
Cant you see its not easy?
Cant you see its not fair?
Cant you see that Im cryin?
Cant you see that I care?
You got my love if you want it
Just let me know and its there
Dont you know that its hard to get over a heartbreak
Its not easy to do
Hard to get over a heartbreak
Thats why Im counting on you

Lesson In Love
I'm not proud, I was wrong
and the truth is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
but our love went overboard
lifeboat lies lost at sea
I've been trying to reach your shore
waves of doubt keep drowning me
All the dreams that we were building
we never fulfilled them
could be better, should be better
for lessons in love
For restless eyes egos burn
and the mold is hard to break
now we've waded in too deep
and love is overboard
heavy hearts token words
all the hopes I ever had
fade like footprints in the sand
All the homes that we were building
we never lived in
could be better, should be better
lessons in love
if we lose the time before us
the future will ignore us
we should use it, we could use it, yeah
Lessons in love
Lost without love...
Lessons in love
When will you ever learn
Lessons in love
When there's nowhere left to turn
Lessons in love
Don't let your spirit burn
Lessons in love
I'll wait 'till you return
All the dreams that we were building
we never fulfilled them
could be better, should be better
for lessons in love
All the homes that we were building
we never lived in
could be better, should be better
lessons in love
if we lose the time before us
the future will ignore us
we should use it, we could use it, yeah
lessons in love

Few Are Making Positive Deposits
The best way to teach,
Fools that can not be reached...
Who stay stubbornly out of touch.
Walk away!
And leave them to be fools.
Preaching never taught any lessons!
Especially if those lessons taught,
Have not been sought to value!
The best way to teach,
Fools that can not be reached...
Who stay stubbornly out of touch.
Walk away!
And leave them to be fools.
Preaching never taught any lessons!
Especially if those lessons taught,
Have not been sought to value!
And time wastefully spent...
Is not time returned.
Especially if investments are expected,
To reflect healthy dividends.
And few are making positive deposits...
To encourage the flourish of them!
The best way to teach,
Fools that can not be reached...
Who stay stubbornly out of touch.
Walk away!
And leave them to be fools.

Art Of Heartbreak
Music: j. allen
Lyrics: hall/s. allen/j. allen
Try to ignore the twisted side
We kiss and we hiss at the same time
Dont you know some things just dont blow away
Youve been this way before, but the cuts just seem to hurt me more
Could be a reason for the difference...
Youve been practicing
The art of heartbreak
Practing
The art of heartbreak
Anticipating what shes aching for
Im being edgy leave her wanting more
Anyone might think wed rather be alone
Yeah, shes been cut before by sharp things Ive been saying so long
I cant believe the way she takes it
Ive been practicing
The art of heartbreak
Practicing
The art of heartbreak
Why do we make it hard, been hitting back and forth for so long
What are we aiming at, theres no score in love
I bet a million bucks she knows but wont let up on me, so
Ive just decided to stop
Practicing the art of heartbreak
Practicing
The art of heartbreak
Weve been practicing

The Seventh Tear
I’m in love presently
It kind of feels right
Suits me well, so I’m told
Think I’ll try and stay this way
In the past I’ve known heartbreak
It hurt like I’d never wish to feel
I cried through days and weeks
Wishing only for it to end
It was on a Wednesday
Cloudy skies and cold wind
I cried my seventh tear
Told myself I’m half way through
I’m moving on now
It’s a lesson learnt
Or so I like to tell myself
We can cry its alright
Then we just move on
Somehow and someway
I’ve hurt and cried
Known heartbreak
Now here I am
In love again
