Religion?
What is wrong with us today? what ails the human race?
What lets religions make decisions that are common place?
From continent to continent the wars just rumble on
About whose friend all ills can mend, while praising him in song
Buildings rise from every corner, clothing's strictly worn,
Daily prayer, you must be there, or suffer deadly scorn
People tortured, flogged and beaten simply for 'blaspheming'
A mockery to you and me of any God's true meaning.
We have lost the plot it seems, religion has such powers,
As highest priest dines on a feast and sits in Golden Towers
So here's a thought, a simple one, that slipped into my head,
Stop killing people under steeples, lets make friends instead.

Lyrics:klaus meine
Im still living for tomorrow
Im living for today
Lets make this world
A better place to live
Stop to take
Start to give
Loves got the power
To get it done
To stop the pain
Of a killing gun
And even if you say
Were gonna die today
Im still living for tomorrow
Im living for today
Cause love will find a way my friend
Whatever it will take
Im still living for tomorrow
Im living for today
Why dont we try today my friend
To make this world a better place
Lets make this life
A better life to live
Stop to hate
Learn to forgive
Evil power can kill
The human race
If we give life
A human face (a human face)
And even if you say
Were gonna die today
Im still living for tomorrow
Im living for toda
Cause love will find a way my friend
Whatever it will take
Im still living for tomorrow
Im living for today
Why dont we try today my friend
To make this world a better place (a better place)
And even if you say

Lets All Make Believe
(gallagher)
Is anyone here prepared to say
Just what they mean or is it too late?
For anyone here to try to do
Just what it takes to get through to you
So lets all make believe
That were still friends and we like each other
Lets all make believe
In the end we gonna need each other
Strangle my hope and make me pray
To a God Ive never seen but who I betray
To the people who live the afterlife
And the place Ill never be til Im crucified
So lets all make believe
Were still friends and we like each other
Lets all make believe
In the end well need each other
Lets all make believe
That all mankinds gonna feed our brother
Lets all make believe
That in the end we wont grow old
So lets all make believe
Were still friends and we like each other
Lets all make believe
In the end well need each other
Lets all make believe
That all mankinds gonna feed our brother
Lets all make believe
That in the end we wont grow old

Lets Mend Whats Been Broken
We started out with a new love
And we thought we had more control
And as it turned to an old love
Bad times started to unfold
Now I dont want to let you go
And I dont want it to ever end
So if feelings have been torn and if hearts have been broken
Lets put it back together again
Ooh, weve got to
Lets mend whats been broken
You and me, me and you
Lets mend whats been broken
Ooh, yeah
Now Im not ready for new love
cause you make my life so complete
And if theres any problem
I know we wont suffer deeply
cause I dont want to let you go
I dont want it to ever end
So if feelings have been torn and if hearts have been broken
Lets put it back together again
Uh-huh, weve got to
Lets mend whats been broken
Me and you, you and me
Lets mend whats been broken
Ooh, yeah
Dont throw it all away
Lets keep this love in every way
Mend my heart, my achin heart
The thought of a brand new start tears me all apart
The love weve got, dont let it end
We can put it back together again
[and lets do it]
[lets do it]
Lets mend whats been broken [lets get to it]
Lets mend whats been broken [lets get to it]

Can We Get Lost Together
Baby, can I get lost in you
Lost in your love;
Just us
Lost together?
Can I get lost in your smile
For just a little while?
The way you make me feel;
Just ohhh so real
Let's take the time;
Will you be mine?
Will you get lost in my heart;
Is this the beginning of a new start?
Lets let our souls bind together as
We find love;
Can I get lost in your trust;
Find my love, its a must;
Baby lets get lost together;
Lets run away to a place
where dreams come true
Lets get lost in a place
where there's just me and you
Baby take me to a place where the rivers flow
A place where nobody knows;
A place where we fall in love;
somewhere we only know of;
Baby lets get lost together;
I gave you the key;
Open my heart, baby what do you see?
Lets get lost;
Lets be free
Take me into your heart;
Lets get lost
Lets fly away,
with our hearts never apart
Baby, Can We Get Lost Together?

Flicker of second
Let us dream of universal world
Let all countries be taken into confidence and told
The need to come to under one umbrella cover
With full assurance of their existence however
We have witnessed ethnic cleansing
We have seen mass annihilation while crossing
It is no delight to ordinary man and complete population
What to speak of about humanity, its bond and healthy relation
We can think of different religion
At once time we can talk of regions too
But what to talk of division in same faith!
When we fail to maintain dignity at time of death
Can you believe person is sprayed with bullets?
When he is offering prayers at sacred outlets
Some ruffians come all of sudden and rain with deadly weapons
Person knows nothing about his fate and simply gone
Let us stop killing at least innocents
He may be son, daughter, wife or parent
What do you want to achieve by creating terror?
Even soul may not support when you look in the mirror
This may be ideological suggestion or thought
But no result has come even after so many wars have been fought
No country is happy under the heavy burden of debt trap
People suffer, country suffer and above all it is solid slap
We, the people, can change entire atmosphere
Time may come when we will no place to take shelter anywhere
The nature might have been ruined and nothing left behind as safe place
Whole man kind may be lost in flicker of second as race

Do Gods Really Exist
It's said God's compassionate he's merciful as well,
Which begs the question why would he create Hell,
It's a terrible torture for Our Lord to create,
To make people suffer is a form of hate.
That's against his teachings or so we are taught,
Could a God really hurt now there is a thought,
Some suffer from illness from birth to old age,
Yet he doesn't help them why won't he engage.
Illnesses have been with us since time began,
Which ruins the debate they're the fault of man,
He lets people starve still they die of thirst,
This form of cruelty is truly the worst.
Genocide and wars leave us all crying,
Yet God looks from above as millions are dying,
Murderers and rapists, paedophiles too,
He allows them to live without any ado.
If his teachings are true why not intervene,
They would never be born to grow to be mean,
If he lets evil thrive then we must ask,
Why does he allow it we must take him to task.
If we're made to suffer it's really quite odd,
When we recover we give thanks to God,
If our illness kills us we'll claim it's Gods will,
He walks away blameless that's a bitter pill.
Why do we do this it's always the same,
God gets the credit but never the blame,
He created all life so it must be his fault,
Yet he still wants our praise he wants us to exalt.
Why the Hell should we our argument's strong,
The good still die young he must know that is wrong,
Death should be kept for the chosen few,
Strike them with illnesses for the evil they do.
God's universe is endless so why should we die,
For all righteous people death should not apply,
No compassionate person would allow us such pain,
Yet he allows it to happen again and again.
So many religions and cultures all have different Gods,
Yet we all suffer the same so what are the odds,
That God's are but a figment of our imagination,
A fictional characer a delusional creation.
If there is a God then please make us aware,
Give us a sign by showing us you care,
Which now begs the question therein lies the twist,
it's one we must ask,
‘' Do Gods Really Exist ''

What is common in us?
What is common in us?
We live differently
Religion is different
Thoughts different
Approach different
Colour different
Customs different
God different
Race different
Skin different
Continent different
Food habits different
What do we share then in common?
Tears same
Blood colour same
What we see is same?
We pray HIM
Grieve the death with same feeling
But one religion is same…….HUMANTY”

Lets Be Friends
(words & music by arnold - morrow - martin)
Dont be afraid, you and I were made the same little one
And I know what its like when you feel left out of the game little one
But if you take this helping hand that I lift
Then we can smile together, lets be friends
The world that you see may seem to be a mystery to you
The night may be dark but hope very hard and dreams can come true
You live in silence but for once lets pretend
Were talking here together, lets be friends
Youre not alone, Ive always known that wed get along
And someone I know says life is good and he cant be wrong
Theres fun and laughter just waiting round the bend
Lets find them now together, lets be friends
Lets find them now together, lets be friends

The Race
Wakeup People! Stop being inhuman
Lets make OUR World a better place
Do not let it, to be divided for anything
Not in the name of Religion, Race, Region,
And Class, Creed, and Gender
Earth is the One planet with life
Celebrate its Diversity!
There is a place for everybody
Why taint it with hatred and destroy it?
Can you create anything like Earth?
Just Try to Protect Whatever already exists
Nobody is Superior here, mere mortals
Come, Live, Let Live and Got to Go One Day
So Let it be ' The Planet Earth '
Don't make it a hell, Don't Let Anyone Do That
Human Race is the Only Greedy Race
Constantly Utilising all the Natural Resources
Blaming Other Species and Other Factors
Watch Yourself and Your Environment
Bring in Peace, Natural Way Of Life;
Celebrate Life!

Union
[Chorus]
[One for all, one for all]
[Its all its all for one]
Lets start a union, calling every human
Its one for all and all for one
Lets live in unison, calling every citizen
Its one for all and all for one
We dont want war- cant take no more
Its drastic time for sure
We need a antidont and a cure
Coz do you really think Mohammed got a problem with Jehovah
We dont want war imagine if any prophet was alive
In current days amongst you and I
You think theyd view life like you and I do
Or would they sit and contemplate on why
Do we live this way, act and behave this way
We still live in primitive today
Coz the peace in the destination of war cant be the way
Theres no way, so people just be em wanna be a man
Realise that you cant change the world by changing yourself
And understand that were all just the same
So when I count to three lets change
[Chorus]
Got no time for grand philosophy
I barely keep my head above the tide
I got this mortgage, got three kids at school
What youre saying is the truth, but really troubles me inside
Id change the world if I could change my mind
If I could live beyond my fears
Exchanging unity for all my insecurity
Exchanging laughter for my tears
[Chorus]
I dont know, yall, we in a real deposition
In the midst of all this negative condition
Divided by beliefs, different sink and religion
Why do we keep missing the point in our mission?
Why do we keep killing each other, whats the reason?
God made us all equal in his vision
I wish that I could make music as a religion
Then we could harmonise together in this mission
Listen, I know its really hard to make changes
But two of us could help rearrange this curse
Utilising all the power in our voices
Together we will unite and make the right choice
And fight for education, save the next generation
Come together as one
I dont understand why its never been done
So lets change on the count of one
It takes one, just one
And then one follows the other one
And then another follows the other one
Next thing you know you got a billion
People doing some wonderful things
People doing some powerful things
Lets change and do some powerful things
Unity could be a wonderful thing

If You Wish To Keep God On Your Side
Many people of the World's greatest religions one common thought do share
They think that they can save their souls from hell by the simple act of prayer
But if there is a God and an afterlife they surely have got it wrong
For God should be for everyone and everyone to God belong.
If you are one who believes in prayer but by God's law does not live
Then your fair God on judgement day much sympathy to you will not give
If you do lack in honour and wrong others in some way
Then your God will not pardon you though hard to him you pray.
Those who do their killing in God's name to his kingdom will not enter in
For murder in God's eyes no matter what the cause is a death of the soul sin
And abuse and rape of others God too find hard to forgive
If you wish to keep God on your side a good life you must live.
There's far more to the soul's salvation than some do realize
For those unequal in the eyes of man would be equal in God's eyes
And if there is an afterlife in another World somewhere
For entry into such a special place one would need more than prayer.

Better World
Hello my friends Im calling to you
The things we believed
Are no longer true
cause were older now
So much wiser than before
The pain that weve felt
We hold deep inside
The dues we have paid
And the tears we have cried
And the emptiness
Can we take it anymore
Have we lost all our faith in our god
And all that we are
When we look at our lives
What are we fighting for
Chorus
Whoa, lets make this a better world
When push comes to shove
What have we really learned
Whoa, lets make this a better world
When youre lying awake with your life in your head
Thinking bout friends who are already dead
We can change
Chorus
Whoa, lets make this a better world
When push comes to shove
What have we really learned
Whoa, lets make this a better world
Is there hope for us all
As were waiting to die
Lying in bed as we take our last sigh

Take a look around, at least you got friends

She picked up the phone, dropped it on the floor

Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down?

Lets go crazy, lets get nuts
Lets look for the purple banana til they put us in the truck lets go!
Were all excited but we dont know why
Maybe its coz were all gonna die
And when we do, whats it all for
You better hurry up before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Cmon lets get nuts
Lets go crazy
Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down?

Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill
Hang tough children

World’s Clarion Call: Stop All Wars; Love Your Brethren!
Wars spread terror;
Wars cause horror;
Wars kill persons;
Wars maim people;
Wars pollute air;
Wars contaminate soil;
Wars destroy buildings;
Wars ravage cities;
Wars ruin countries;
Wars cause hatred;
Wars are expensive;
Wars escalate prices;
Wars create enemies;
Wars generate ill-will;
Wars instill mistrust;
Wars make the poor, poorer;
Wars make the world,
A difficult place to live in;
Don’t waste money on futile wars.
Love settles conflicts;
Love gets friends;
Love converts foes;
Love leads to dialogue;
Love spreads brotherhood;
Love brings lasting peace;
Love leads to progress;
Love is all-encompassing;
Love is the key to human problems;
Love rules the universe;
Love leads to heaven;
Stop the wars and love your brethren;
Science should improve man’s plight;
Unite against human calamities;
Fight diseases, poverty, and illiteracy;
Leaders should give up their ego;
The world should be free of fear;
Peaceful co-existence should bring all near;
Make the earth more habitable for all.
This is the world’s clarion call!

Dangerous Places
People buzzing around, they dont know a thing
They just a laugh and the ones in power are always pulling the strings
People do what they do, how much can they take
They just get the news and the ones in power always get the cake
But you got ambition, you got the face, come on, lets go to a dangerous place
You got the class, I think youre desperate, lets go to a dangerous place
Come on - lets go, come on - lets go, come on...
I promise this thing will sell, I promise Ill take you to heaven
I promise this thing will sell, and I just cant wait
You have your plans, all these plans
And there are moments, shall I call them a chance
If I was you I would make them all mine
And if I aint got the power I would commit a crime
But you got ambition...
I promise this thing will sell...
Im gonna make you a deal, you know Im your friend
Im gonna stay with you until the very end
I know you got the guts, I got a lot of time
Im gonna make me yours before I make you mine

And Im picking you a special selection
On a no news is good news middle of mid-year day

You know the drives about an hour away
And well be pitching up a tent by the trees
And well be wading in the river to our knees
Oh now loves been planted and were checking out the yield
Its two black dogs and a white one their running in the field

But were cuttin up the rug and I know you love me love me
(were cuttin up the rug and I know you love me)
And the best of everything here is free
(everything here is free)
Oh when things get messy then we tidy up the room
Well be no stranger to that dustpan and the broom
Lets make peace tonight

The moon is bare and shining bright
