The Forgotten i
i know how it feels to be second and not
Knowing what to do about it; and the first
one refuses to care about it.
i know how it feels being depressed inside
That small capsule with capricious un-
Happiness and hopelessness prison guards
i know how i felt riding greyhound buses unoticed
by those seated comfortably up front, white-curtains
to obscure Negroes instead of light.
i know more saints who kneel and pray
Hoping for something magica in the distance and
finding out Later or never that reality is just being.
i know how it feels to be forgotten and alone
On a stinky garbage bin eating from a can
As passer-bys cosign to oblivion.
i know how it feels being mother with
a fully matured, broken-winged bird
yet can't leave the nest.
i feel the pain of the crying womb
that month after month flower go to
Seed, die, and never to blossom.
i know how it feels remembering the
The child I 'got' but did'nt 'get'
and the deprived one could have gotten.
i know how it feels being the ignored flower growing
through the cracked sidewalk unnoticed, like
children slipping through cracked welfare system
I know about beauty, fears, joy, and loneliness;
I know about stories held, not told as signs of me;
I know that poems are evident of the obscure being…
the forgotten

Feels So Good
Feels good
Im stranded on a spaceship hideaway
And something makes me think Im here to stay
Im so happy where I am
Feels good
Ive journeyed to the other atmospheres
And every breath I take just makes it clear
Im holding heaven in my hands
Its automatic baby and it feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
These extra-sensory sensations
Are causing me some complications
Electrostatic information
Feels good
Im playing with a pleasure trafficker
Arriving soon intergalactica
Im holding heaven in my hands
Its automatic baby and it feels good
Feels good

Hold Hands
lovers have forgotten
how to hold hands...
and children have forgotten
the wonder of being outside.
workers have forgotten
how it feels to be appreciated.
old people have forgotten
how it feels to be needed.
everyday people have forgotten
how it feels to grow their own food.
students have forgotten
the joy of learning...
the American people have forgotten
how it feels to believe...
in equality, dignity, and hope...
how it feels to hold hands!

Dramatica
I caught their sparkle
From the runway
Such a fool for the amazon
Nothings wrong but its just not right
The 3 of us in the naked light
No chance for psychotic soultions
Lost in the 3 way dimension
Imagine you as me and Ill tell you
Just what Im thinking
That it feels like you
Feels like i
Feels like we do
And it feels like
Feels like i
Feels like we do
And everyones daze is on
(feels like i, feels like we do)
Look what youve done
You give yourself away for nothing
(feels like i, feels like we do)
Look what youve done
And everyones daze is on
(feels like i, feels like we do)
Give it all away for nothing
When will you escape dramatica?
Gifts of pleasure youve recieved
Everything you wanted from me
Chemical abduction, restricted our vision
We were on auto drive
Dont blame the platform for your fall
We were chasing obsession
Imagine you as me and Ill tell you
Just what was on my mind that night
Cuz it feels like you
Feels like i, feels like we do
And it feels like
Feels like i, feels like we do
And everyones daze is on
(feels like i, feels like we do)
Look what youve done
You give yourself away for nothing
(feels like i, feels like we do)
Look what youve done
And everyones daze is on
(feels like i, feels like we do)
Give it all away for nothing
When will you escape dramatica?

Feels Like The First Time
I would climb any mountain
Sail across a stormy sea
If thats what it takes me baby
To show you how much you mean to me
And I guess its just the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I cant help myself
Youre all in the world to me
It feels like the first time
Feels like the very first time
It feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
I have waited a lifetime
Spent my time so foolishly
But now that Ive found you
Together well make history
And I know that it must be the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I cant help myself
Youre all that my eyes can see
And it feels like the first time
Like it never did before
Feels like the first time
Like weve opened up the door
Feels like the first time
Like it never will again, never again
Feels like the first time, it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time, very, very, it feels
It feels like the first time, oh it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
Open up the door, wont you open up the door? yeah
Feels like the first time
And it feels like the very first time
And it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
And it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
Oh it feels, it feels like the first time
Yeah it feels like the first time

How Do You Think It Feels
How do you think it feels
When youre speeding and lonely, come here baby
How do you think it feels
When all you can say is if only
If only I had a little
If only I had some change, come here baby
If only, if only, if only
How do you think it feels
And when do you think it stops
How do you think it feels
When youve been up for five days, come down here mama
Hunting around always, ooohhh
cause youre afraid of sleeping
How do you think it feels
To feel like a wolf and foxy
How do you think it feels
To always make love by proxy, huh
How do you think it feels
And when do you think it stops
When do you think it stops

Feels Like Today
Woke up this morning
With this feeling inside me that I can't explain
Like a weight that I've carried
Has been carried away, away
But I know something is coming
I don't know what it is
But I know it's amazing, you save me
My time is coming
And I'll find my way out of this longest drought
It feels like today I know it feels like today I'm sure
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing I'm wishin'
Life's sacred blessin'
It feels like today
Feels like today
You treat life like a picture
But its not a moment thats frozen in time
It's not gonna wait
Til you make up your mind, at all
So while this storm is breaking
While there's light at the end of the tunnel
Keep running towards it
Releasing the pressure, that's my heartache
Soon this dam will break
And it feels like today
I know, it feels like today, I'm sure
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
Life's sacred blessin'
It feels like today
Feels like today
And it feels like today
I know, it feels like today, I'm sure
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
Life's sacred blessin'
It feels like today
Feels like, feels like your life changes
Feels like feels like your life changes
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
Life's sacred blessin'
Feels like today
Feels like Feels like your life changes
Feels like Feels like your life changes

Joy, Forever
I know not why my mind feels gay
with the trees, I want to sway
in the midst of flowers, I want to play
I feel some joy, I've found today
Joy, it feels, like a candle lit,
fairies of hope surrounding it
It feels to me like the glowing Sun,
like a yarn of happiness unspun
It feels like a top, swerving around
on its tip, dancing, along the ground
Joy, it seems, like a dropp in an ocean,
It feels like the drink of a magic potion
Joy, I hope, you forever remain
always ready to relieve my pain,
To let life see me smile always
Through out the nights, and my days.

Feels Like Home
something in your eyes
makes me wanna lose myself
makes me wanna lose myself
in your heart
something in your voice
makes my heart beat fast
hope this feeling will last
the rest of my life
if you knew
how lonely my life has been
and how low i've felt for so long
if you knew
i wanted someone to some along
and change my world
the way you've done
it feels like home
feels like home to me
feels like i'm on my way back
where i come from
feels like home
feels like home to me
feels like i'm on my wayback
where i'm from
with your embrace
down a long dark street
and a sigh of wind in the night
it's alright
cause i have you here with me
and i can almost see
the dark feels light
if you knew
how much this moment means to me
and how long i've waited for your touch
if you knew
i wanted someone to come along
i never thought i'd love anyone
so much
feels like home
feels like home to me
feels like i'm on my way to where i come from
feels like home to me
feels like home to me
feels like i'm on my way back to where i belong
feels like i'm on my way back to where i belong

May Mother Be...
May mother be felt like a love garden
My mother feels me just like fragile flowers
May mother be just like a huge sky
My mother keeps me a star in the sky
May mother be just like a love stove
My mother feels me just innocent smoke
May mother be just like a imaginary picture
My mother feels me a coloured picture
I might be cloud to my mother
My mother feels me just like a rain drop! !
Feels Right
Too shy to
To follow through
But it is true
Yes, I do love you
You say no
But I wont go
'Cause all I know
Is you and I are meant to be
You and I are meant to be
Too proud to
Give in to
All the love
That I wanna lay on you
So called no
Say it aint so
'Cause all I know
Is that you and I are meant to be
You and I are meant to be
Feels so right

Too lost to
Realize who
Well heres one clue
Im standing right in front of you
Dont say no
'Cause I cant go
Well all I know
Is that you and I are meant to be
You and I are meant to be
Feels so right
Feels so right
It feels so right
Too shy
Too proud

Too loud
Too high
Too low
Too weak

Alright
You say no
I still wont go
'Cause all I know is that
You and I are meant to be
You and I are meant to be

Too shy
Too proud

To Be Free
Staring at an empty screen
I can sometimes
Feel like dying
Doing what I have to do
I can almost
Hear you crying
This is how it feels
Funny how its all so real
This is how it feels
To be free
To be free
Figures slowly come to life
Almost always
They are having
Minor problems minor strife
I can almost
Hear you laughing
This is how it feels
Using up the time we steal
This is how it feels
To be free
So this is how it feels to be free

Wear my Skin
You want to know how it feels
Being hollowed out
Apple cored, centre lost?
You want to know how it feels
Leaking salt water
Filling oceans with tears?
You want to know how it feels
To hear your heart break
And catch the pieces in your hand?
You want to know how it feels
To have your soul rent;
Half in a grave, half out?
You want to know how it feels
To lose your gentle lover;
Your own sweet man?
You want to know how it feels
When your grief is not valid
In the eyes of the world?
You want to know how it feels?
You have to wear my skin;
But I doubt it would fit.

Roll Another Joint
Let me run with you tonight
and i'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone i used to see
but she don't give a damn for me
But let me get to the point
Let's roll another joint
And turn the radio loud
I'm too alone to be proud
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
to be me...
People come People go
Some grow young Some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream
So let's get to the point
Let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
to be me...
My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I got a little space to fill
So let's get to the point
Let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere i gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
No you don't know how it feels
to be me...
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
No you don't know how it feels
to be me...

Feels So Right
Words and music by randy owen
Whisper to me softly three words upon my skin.
No ones near and listenin, so please dont say goodbye.
Just hold me close and love me.
Press your lips to mine.
Mm, feels so right, feels so right.
Lying here beside you, I hear the echoes of your sighs.
Promise me youll stay with me and keep warm tonight.
So hold me close and love me.
Give my heart a smile.
Mm, feels so right, feels so right.
Your body feels so gentle and my passion rises high.
Youre lovin me so easy.
Your wish is my command.
Just hold me close and love me.
Tell me it wont end.
Mm, feels so right, feels so right, feels so right.
Aw, you feel so right baby.

Could It Be You (Fortyleg Bite)
COULD IT BE YOU FEATURING KY-MANI MARLEY
for such a long time there was nobody
i had only myself to please
i never needed anyone at all
then you came - it felt like a breeze
a breeze of sunshine and a breath of light
suddenly i knew i was wrong
my heart beats faster, what a nice surprise
i'll be holdin' on ...
... feels like i knew you before
feels like there's a treat in store
it happened just overnight
i cannot wait anymore
it feels so naturally right
CHORUS
could it be you, baby, that i was searchin' for
could it be you, baby, who makes me search no more
could it be you, baby, that i was lookin' for
could it be you, could it be true, could it be you
could this be love now, between you and me
do i care? i do possibly
and all that matters is you bein' there for me
feed my dream of eternity
i wanna know you like i know myself
make me feel like nobody else
you give me freedom, make me act so strong
i'll be holdin' on ...
... feels like i knew you before
feels like there's a treat in store
it happened just overnight
i cannot wait anymore
it feels so naturally right
CHORUS
am i dreamin or is this reality
havin you right next to me
what is the meaning of this feel i feel
could it mean that this love is real
i was lost on a lonely road
prayin for some peace, for some guide
youre like an angel on a ray of light
there you were in front of my eyes
... feels like i knew you before
feels like there's a treat in store
it happened just overnight
i cannot wait anymore
it feels so naturally right

Favorite
Don't look sexy but it just feels right
Not too dirty and it's not too tight
Why I never threw it out, I'll never know exactly why
Keep it in the drawer beside my bed
It's faded pink now, but it used to be red
Starting to fray at the seams, but I know that you'll still love me
Like you did, like you did
Like before, like before
Like we will, like we will
Be doin' it once more
Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
Oh baby know how you feel?
You feel like my favorite underwear
And I'm slipping you on again tonight
Leave you lyin' on the bedroom floor
I leave you hangin' on the bathroom door
Take you for granted, but I'll always know exactly where you are
Lost you once you were hard to find
Got you back you didn't live like mine
Thought we were falling apart but you make me feel so pretty
Like you did, like you did
Like before, like before
Like we will, like we will
Be doin' it once more
Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
Oh baby know how you feel?
You feel like my favorite underwear
And I'm slipping you on again tonight
Slipping you on again tonight
Wrap me and roll me, hold me tight
Tear me apart and make me new
Like you always do
Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
You feel you're like this is what I want
You feel, you feel
Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
You feel you're like this is what I want
You feel, you feel
Slipping you on again tonight

Runaway
The commands
The rules
The suffering
The pain
a smoker 'cause it 'soothes' the pain
Depressed from the scandals
An unplanned pregnacy
unwanted?
Feels that way...
Feels like I'm Cinderella
The stress and pain makes me want to commit suicide
The only one who seems to care..
Is the one who abandoned me at 7
Feels like I'm in prison
As i walk away to start a new life of my own, a new person
I wonder if I'll be missed
Wanting to be my own person
You tried to kill my streak of Independence
Your attitude gave me unwanted charactaristics
You criticized my body...
While I was trying to accept me for me...
I have to get away from the accusing glances
I have to runaway...

Security
I know the feeling i can see it in the mirror
It knows that i'm receptive and it knows that i am here
It's always quite confusing when i try to leave it home
I'll be walking going somewhere and i feel i'm not alone
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It's always confidential and it knows i'm always right
I can hide it in believing what i'm doing is not a game
But the feeling keeps me feeling that it's with me just the same
If something in the world seems right then it is what i know
This is where i want to be, so this is where i go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security
I put on my coat and omit my hat
Get a grip on my umbrella i'm not looking back
Everybody's different but we're all quite the same
And the feeling comprehensive and the feeling in the range
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It is always quite supportive and it knows i'm always right
I can hide it in believing what i'm doing is not a game
But the feeling keeps me feeling that it's with me just the same
And if something in the world seems right then it is what i know
And this is where i want to be then this is where i go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security
I know the feeling i can tell you when it's there
It's crawling up my socks and it's running through my hair
It's always quite confusing when i try to leave it home
I'll be walking going nowhere and i'll feel i'm not alone
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It is always confidential and it knows i'm always right
The feelings there to tell me what i'm doing is not a game
And the feeling keeps me feeling that it likes it just the same
And something in the world seems right and this is what i know
And if this is where i want to be then this is where i'll go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security
It's just something they told me
They said that everything in the world is right and this is what i know
And this is all i want to be so this is where i go
Everybody feels better look outside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security-t-t
Everything in the world is right and this is who i know
And this is where i want to be so this is where i go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security-t-t

Seventeen Again
Yay though we venture through
The Valley of the stars
You and all your jewelry
And my bleeding heart
Who couldn't be together
And who could not be apart
We shouldve jumped out
Of that airplane after all
Flying skyways overhead
It wasnt hard to fall
And I had so many crashes
That I couldn't feel
At all...
And it feels like
Im 17 Again
Feels like Im 17
Times might break you
God forsake you
Leave you burned and bruised
Innocence will teach you
What it feels like to be used
Thought that youd done everything
You didnt have a clue
And it feels like
Im 17 Again
Feels like Im 17
Again
Looking from the outside in
Some things never change
Funny how it seems like yesterday ...
All those fake celebrities
And all those viscous queens
All the stupid papers
And the stupid magazines
Sweet dreams are made of anything
That gets you in the scene
And it feels like
Im 17 Again
Feels like Im 17
Again
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Yea

Guilt purrs action
When a man has been refused,
A woman feels pity for him
And loves him more than she did before.
When a mother has been neglected,
A son feels pity for her
And takes care more than he did before.
When a child has been beaten,
The mother feels pity for it
And pampers more than she did before.
Guilt purrs action; pity brings love
