Smile The Power Of Hope
late of that night, silent pause a little
while, where cellulite of thunder settle down
upon the hood of the sun
come and let be the time to stand, ringing
like Bell, waking up the birds to fly up
into the golden fun
wise could be, honest got it easy, to attain
the wasted hour, for nothing leaves than to
start the smile of the moment you love
to stay
find the hope to wrinkle, until the
strength hold your day...

Settle Down My Boy
Settle down, an eat your peas and gravy, my boy
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Stop wasting all your time with running around the town
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Knuckle down and find a job and take some responsibility
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down
The futures something you should be thinking about
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Look around for a wife to start a family, my boy
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Listen toy our father and hell tell you the same as me
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Your words would go in one ear and out the other side
Dont say my head was empty and I had things to hide
And you better put something away for your old age
So settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down uh huh huh

Ill Settle For You
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Every star has a twinkle
Every palm has a wrinkle
Every leaf comes from a tree
I would agree
So if everything is made up of two
And the sky really needs the blue
For my other half
Ill settle for you
Every future has a past
Every first has a last
Every night has a day
Come what may
So if everything is made up of two
Whether it be old or new
For my other half
Ill settle for you
Who wants to be like a sea without a shore
The love just drifting forever more
Every smile has a frown
All you gotta do is turn it upside down
Every house has a door
Of that Im sure
So if everything is made up of two
I think it would be best if you know
For my other half
Ill settle for you
Dont you know, Ill settle for you
Ill settle for you
If I had to settle, baby
Ill settle for you
Dont you know, Ill settle for you

St. Joan
Shake me if i scream
Hold me if i cry
Read to me if i crash again tonight
My heart's waiting for thunder
So catch all the rain on your face
All the trains went by
The station master's eye
Wept for me
Prayed for me
Horses on a hill
Ate his cake
And god was late
Took another pill
Chorus:
St. joan
Burning in my bed
What can i do there's voices in my head
Butterflies and lullabies
Here inside my kerosene dream
Lighting up the sky at night
Burning in the candlelight
Waking up the sun
Are you only waiting for yourself
Are you lonely like crystal on the shelf
Blue is the color of darkness
In my room
I found out a little too late
It's just another stage
You think you've come of age
Drop me off
Flip me out
Stand me by the wall
Sing to me
Bring to me
I am ten feet tall
(chorus)
Lighting up the sky at night
Burning in the candlelight
Waking up the sun
Stay with me
Hold me if you can
Play with me
Write to me
Remember what you said
(chorus)
St. joan
Stay with me...

Thunder In The Tower
Well, the lightning flashed at midnight
And the dogs did howl along
You dont believe it - unless youve seen it
It was the night the thunder broke
There is no more creation
No room for good - no hope
You better cry for salvation - as
The reaper dangled by the rope
A scream for help - the morning after
Theyd equalised the score
And in their minds - theres only laughter
A smile - without a cause
And there was thunder in the tower
As the cat crept out
There was thunder in the tower
Theres no escape - no doubt
Its been the night the birds were silent
And the town was deadly still
A curling lip - an icy grip
n bony fingers that can kill
Assembling in the tower
The payment bloody high
They tried to cheat their final hour
Hes gonna get them eye to eye
Bridge
And there was thunder in the tower
Screaming silence in the air
There was thunder in the tower
Awesome power evrywhere
And there was thunder in the tower
They didnt care its right or wrong
There was thunder in the tower
And the reaper came along

One Soul
I dream of closeness
Sweet talks face to face
So near and calling me dear
Yet not gripped with any fear
You showed two hearts are beating
Close acquaintance still sweating
We were here for close meeting
Exchanging views and simply greeting
Call for enough of promises
Pledges for memory and not to make any misses
Wishing for golden rays to shine
Looking for no excuses and everything to confine
I can’t forget your lovely smile
It drives e crazy and pushes to miles
How will I bear your absence and remain away?
This question puzzles me all the time and stay
I would love if you hold me for ever
It had been my dream forever
You gave me new direction to live
I still hold you in esteem and believe
I rush to you like river in spate
Sometimes I get very late
You stand there in my anticipation
But keep calm and raise no question
You had been my strength
I was not perfect not even one tenth
You did smile at me number of times
I was stunned to find it sometimes
We have merged into one
Not body but soul also belongs to none
This is what I desired all along
Please kept it intact and don’t prove me wrong
I shall stand by in every critical moment
I shall utter no word or offer any comment
I shall be entity well thought over by you
I shall hold it till last and try to be true

Ring For Freedom
Let the bells ring for freedom
Let the bells ring out loud
And hope the people again will hear them
While answering back with a shout.
Let the bells begin their ringing
A ringing that will never end
And hope the people will hear our singing
Then from peace we will send.
Hope the bells will start their ringing
By ringing loud and singing long
Pray the people will sing and shout
And to that sound, a peaceful song.
Let the bells ring for freedom
Hope that ringing will never cease
I hope the people will hear them ringing
And all together in its peace.
Hand in hand and arm in arm
With smiles and laughs that stand together
Trouble nowhere and nowhere is there harm
Hope they will keep it from and and forever.
Let the bells all ring in rhyme
Now and forever to the end of time
A time to hold and a time to smile
To dream once again just like a child.
Let the bells ring for freedom
Now and forever for peace to send
Let the people hear them ringing
Hope that music will never end.

Bell Birds
By channels of coolness the echoes are calling,
And down the dim gorges I hear the creek falling;
It lives in the mountain, where moss and the sedges
Touch with their beauty the banks and the ledges;
Through brakes of the cedar and sycamore bowers
Struggles the light that is love to the flowers.
And, softer than slumber, and sweeter than singing,
The notes of the bell-birds are running and ringing.
The silver-voiced bell-birds, the darlings of day-time,
They sing in September their songs of the May-time.
When shadows wax strong and the thunder-bolts hurtle,
They hide with their fear in the leaves of the myrtle;
When rain and the sunbeams shine mingled together
They start up like fairies that follow fair weather,
And straightway the hues of their feathers unfolden
Are the green and the purple, the blue and the golden.
October, the maiden of bright yellow tresses,
Loiters for love in these cool wildernesses;
Loiters knee-deep in the grasses to listen,
Where dripping rocks gleam and the leafy pools glisten.
Then is the time when the water-moons splendid
Break with their gold, and are scattered or blended
Over the creeks, till the woodlands have warning
Of songs of the bell-bird and wings of the morning.
Welcome as waters unkissed by the summers
Are the voices of bell-birds to thirsty far-comers.
When fiery December sets foot in the forest,
And the need of the wayfarer presses the sorest,
Pent in the ridges for ever and ever.
The bell-birds direct him to spring and to river,
With ring and with ripple, like runnels whose torrents
Are toned by the pebbles and leaves in the currents.
Often I sit, looking back to a childhood
Mixt with the sights and the sounds of the wildwood,
Longing for power and the sweetness to fashion
Lyrics with beats like the heart-beats of passion --
Songs interwoven of lights and of laughters
Borrowed from bell-birds in far forest rafters;
So I might keep in the city and alleys
The beauty and strength of the deep mountain valleys,
Charming to slumber the pain of my losses
With glimpses of creeks and a vision of mosses.

A Song for New Year's Eve
Stay yet, my friends, a moment stay—
Stay till the good old year,
So long companion of our way,
Shakes hands, and leaves us here.
Oh stay, oh stay,
One little hour, and then away.
The year, whose hopes were high and strong,
Has now no hopes to wake;
Yet one hour more of jest and song
For his familiar sake.
Oh stay, oh stay,
One mirthful hour, and then away.
The kindly year, his liberal hands
Have lavished all his store.
And shall we turn from where he stands,
Because he gives no more?
Oh stay, oh stay,
One grateful hour, and then away.
Days brightly came and calmly went,
While yet he was our guest;
How cheerfully the week was spent!
How sweet the seventh day's rest!
Oh stay, oh stay,
One golden hour, and then away.
Dear friends were with us, some who sleep
Beneath the coffin-lid:
What pleasant memories we keep
Of all they said and did!
Oh stay, oh stay,
One tender hour, and then away.
Even while we sing, he smiles his last,
And leaves our sphere behind.
The good old year is with the past;
Oh be the new as kind!
Oh stay, oh stay,
One parting strain, and then away.

Judgement Day
(coverdale/vandenberg)
The night is gone,
The time has come
To find a new day has begun,
An it promises to stay
To soothe the pain of wasted years
An kiss away the bitter tears
A love to light the way
And from the darkness
Comes a smile,
That reaches out for many miles,
Touching everyone.
No more shadows of the past,
Your spirit free to fly at last,
Shining in the sun
Like the rolling thunder,
I feel the power of love,
Its a gift from heaven
And the lord above
We walk toward desire,
Hand and hand
Through fields of fire
With only love to light the way
On the road to judgement day
Take it easy, take it slow,
Ill take you anywhere you wanna go,
Places never seen before
cause I love you, an I need you,
Ill do my best to please you,
My love can open any door
When you hear the thunder
In your darkest night,
Ill be there to hold you
When the lightning strikes
So dont you worry,
You can ease your mind
cause well be dancing
At the end of time
Who loves you, who needs you,
Wholl do his best to please you,
I love you, I need you
Ill get down on my knees
We walk toward desire,
Hand and hand
Through fields of fire
With only love to light the way
On the road to judgement day
So dont you worry, baby
On the road to judgement day
Who loves you, who needs you
On the road to judgement day
So I love you, and I need you
My love can open any door
My love can open any door...

Its Morning
Its morning
Sun rising
Moon hiding
Birds chirping
Flowers blooming
Eyes opening
Many waking
Many sleeping
Dew on the leaves
Evaporating
Bees humming
Church bell ringing
Silence going
Noise increasing
Life keeps moving
Like ever before
Night or morning
Same story again

My Hearts With You
(diane warren)
I know youre leaving
I wont ask you to stay
I wont hold you back
I wont stand in your way
If thats what youve gotta do
I understand
Its not that easy setting you free
But thats how its gotta be
And as youre walking away
As Im watching you go
Theres one thing I want you to know
(chorus)
Just remember my hearts with you
When the night gets so long and cold
And no ones there to hold
And youre all alone
Take a moment to think of me
And the love that we used to know
And if you ever find you ever need me someday Im just a heartbeat away, wo
Saying goodbye isnt saying were through
Just know through it all Im still here for you
Light a light in the window
When your lost in the dark, ooh
These arms would be happy to hold you again
If ever you miss me or when you
Start thinking about
All the nights that we shared
Darling you know Ill be there
(repeat chorus (without last line))
You walk to the door with nothing to say
I look in your eyes and you look away
Youre leaving me now, but darling I hope
Hope--that youll look back someday
(and remember my hearts with you...)

but your dreams may not

Stay On Top
Everybody got somebody
Trying to make you feel real bad
Aint none of their business
Talking behind your back
Be strong in yourself
Stand up - walk away
Nobody gives a damn for a
Single thing you say
Im singing
Stay on top - never go under
Lightning strikes
Before you hear the thunder
Stay on top - never go under
Hold on tight
Here comes the thunder
Hide money in your pocket
Be nobodys fool
Always think of number one
Thats my golden rule
Take care of business
Go for it with the best
Be strong enough to take it
Aint no need to rest
Im singing
Stay on top - never go under
Lightning strikes
Before you hear the thunder
Stay on top - never go under
Hold on tight
Watch out for the thunder
Bad times make you cry
But the good times get you high
I cant stand it
I cant stand it no more
Somebody, everybody
Trying to make you feel real bad
Aint nobodys business
Talking behind your back
Be strong in yourself
Stand up - walk away
Nobodys gonna listen
To a single word you say
Stay on top - never go under
Lightning strikes
Before you hear the thunder
Stay on top - never go under
Hold on tight
Look out for the thunder
Stay on top
Youve got to stay on top
Stand up and sing it
Stay on top
Take care of business
Stay on top

If You Wanna Leave Me
You can't stand still for a moment
You can't stand still for a night
Your feet just starta move when it's boring
But you gotta stick around to get it right
So get it right
You can't find love in the kitchen
You walk the dark side of the street
You can't find any hope in religion
Ya gotta feel the road under your feet
I'm gonna shed a little light
I'm gonna love ya every night
We'll get it right - get it right!
If you wanna leave me can I come too
If you wanna leave me gonna go with you
If you say no - I'm still gonna go
If you wanna leave me - can I come too?
You try 'n keep dry in the water
You try 'n keep cool in the fire
The politics of love are getting harder
So grab a hold

I Hope God Hears Me
so I always know what to say
I hope God hears me speak
because peace is what I seek
I hope God shows me how to cope
so I don't give up the hope
I hope God will stay with me
so I know what I am to be
I hope God will show me how to stand
and always be with me to hold my hand
I hope God will show me the way
so I won't give up in my day
I hope God will be patient with me
so the comfort I will see
I hope God will show me how not to hide
and always be with me by my side
I hope God will show me how to start
so I carry him in my heart
I hope God will keep me from harms
and be there to hold out his arms
I hope God will show me the love
so I will see the peace of the dove
I hope God will show me the lead
so I will find out my need
I hope God will show me how to turn
because I have so much to learn

Bells In My Heart
I heard church bells ringing- ringing quite clear
I heard the church bells ringing- deafening my ears.
I looked all around and yet I could not see
Any places of worship even close to me.
That was when I realized that the ringing
Was coming from my heart.
Because it was you who captured it
Right from the start.
You entered my life like the earth enters
the day- and forever you would stay.
The bells are ringing with every passing
Thought of you, and it tells me all that I must do.
And to keep this love- to you I must be true.
I sometimes ask myself how can this be?
The bells toll louder every time you look at me.
Is this the way that love is really meant to be
That my heart is racing fast, and I feel wild and free.
We’ve all envisioned love and how it should be
But love is something you can not foresee.
Everyone sees love in a different way
And with your heart, love will play.
And love like a guitar that’s out of tune
You will lose it pretty soon.
So find the faults while you can
Tune that love and take your stand.
Now as I look at you I ask:
“Is this happening to only me
Or is our hearts singing in harmony”?

Written in your name
Written in your name
~
Your name breaks my heart
In the silent perfection of night
Where we lay together awake
Into the late hour of the day
The look in your eyes
That smile you greet me with
Those little things you do
All add up together in my heart
Sewing it together again
I find myself afraid
Frightened I may lose you
That each little thread you sewn
Will slowly come undone
I say your name and smile
Realising how much you mean to me
How much it all breaks my heart
I long to talk to you
To hear your voice
To hold you in my arms
I say your name and I love you

I Am Not Made
I am not made for this
I’m not strong enough
I’ve often wondered late at night
What it’s like to stop
What it’s like to have the world stop
Stop right under my feet
And start turning the other way instead
Maybe if I don’t think
Some strength will return
Maybe I could push the world around
Spin it on the tip of my finger
Get it moving again
At my pace
Let it beat in time with my heart
I think I need some strength
Just until I’m alive enough
To start living again
To start turning again
I could find someone to be my world
Someone to be my strength
I think it’s time I found some
God, please rip me up
And start again
Just like you did with the world
Do it to the Earth again
Find some way to help me
Some way to get me some strength
God, please help me start again
I might just apologise
See if I did anything to be sorry for
I might stop talking
And close up in myself again
Just like the old days
Before I had the world
And lost it again
I am not made for this
I am hurting too much
To be thrown back out in the cold
Alone and insecure
Without my world at all
I am not made for this
I am not made
