Life You Gave

Thank you for the life you gave up
just to see me through
and do not weep for me now that I am gone.
Go and lead the life you should have led
while you watched over me in my dying bed.
I have only left you temporary
and we will be reunited again
when your last page is read.
Now go and shed no more tears of sorrow,
but smile for the life you gave to me while I was there
for I still watch over you from within the clouds above.
Our love will never cease to be
it will last eternally.
Now go and live your life
just as it should be
not with tears of sorrow staining your cheeks,
but smile for the life you gave
to me while I was there.

A Piori Love

In dreams / I formed you
In sweat / I gave you life
In tears / I gave you passion
In the heat / I gave you molten eyes
In the night / I gave you raven hair
In the morning / I gave you dawn’s smile
In the tremor / I gave you love
With the spark of infinity / I brought you forth

My Freedom

Midnight is arriving,
Sun is fading away,
Cloud by day,
Fire by night,
My emotions, gone,
My urge burning,
Burning ready for your presence.

I was once blinded from what
you were revealing to me.
Ignoring you of what you are
giving upon me.
But you gave me mercy.
I repented, gave you my life.
You took hold, made something out of it.
Gave me a reason, told me I have
a reason to live for.

You gave me my freedom!
My freedom...
You broke the chains,
Shakles and cuffs demolished,
Tears and pain deminished!
Tore down the strongholds.
Cast down the demons.
MY FREEDOM! ! ! !
I could just scream it!
You saved my life! ! ! !
How do I repay you?
FREEDOM! ! ! ! ! !

You gave me life, love,
peace, joy, strength, happiness,
possibilaties...
When the prince gave me hate, sorrow,
pain, fears, tears, searing screaches,
mind boteling screams...

FREEDOM! ! !
FREEDOM! ! !
FREEDOM! ! !
You gave me my freedom! ! !
Im set free!
Relieved, rescued, SAVED! ! !
You gave me freedom,
Freedom to live, love, worship,
power...
Freedom.....

Fictional Woman

The tears I cried for you,
The tears that gave life to the roses I gave you,
The sorrow you left me,
The happiness you took away,
You have moved on; so have I,
I still talk about you,
In lonely nights-think about you,
Forever, a part of you in me.

Behind A Painted Smile

Whenever you're near I hide my tears
Behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow
Behind a painted smile
My life's a masquerade
A world of let's pretend, yeah
Since you took your love
Pretending never ends, yeah
But I can't let you know
That I still need you so, no
(Darling I hide the tears that I cry)
Whenever you're near I hide my tears
Behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow
Behind a painted smile
I can't let you see
All the tears I'm crying
You would pity me
That would be like dying
If I can't have your love
I don't need your sympathy
(Darling I hide the tears that I cry)
Whenever you're near I hide my tears
Behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow
Behind a painted smile
My life is a masquerade
Since you took your love away
I just can't let you see
How much you hurting me
Whenever you're near I hide my tears
Behind a painted smile

We are far away from us

Some sounds are remaining there
Even if I'm drowning in my tears
Memories of life dipping me to grief
I'm all alone in the door my life
Without you my life is empty
You're gone far away from me
And my heart travelling everywhere
To get you again in my life.......
Neither I find you nor you meet me
You're gone far away from me
I gave you love
I gave you happiness
But you gave me grief
You gave me sadness
Now I'm cursing those moments
That I had spent with you
And I'm also far away from you.....

My Little Man

I watch him breath
As he sleeps in his bed
No longer a child
But a man instead
He gave me new meaning
He gave me new life
He helped me be
A better human being in life
He came into being
From deep within me
Nine months he grew
A kick start to new life
The day he was born
I looked on in awe
At this small baby boy
Who gave me a chance?
At a wonderful new life
From baby to child
To teenager, then young man
I wonder and think
Is he ready for life?
Can he handle the journey?
That is now, his, own plight
Will he make the right choices?
When in doubt, when in strife
Softly I smile at my little man
Will he be the man?
I know he can be
To me he will always be
The small little miracle
That god gave to me
And yes I know
He is just like me

That Name

There is a name that is so precious,
A name so wonderful to me.
This name is worthy of all praises.
Because of him, I am made free.
That name is jesus, oh how I love him.
The one who gave, his life for me.
Because of love, so unconditional,
I will have life, eternally.
This name speaks peace, unto my storm clouds,
This name speaks calm, unto me fears.
And when I feel, that no one loves me.
His loving presence is so near.
That name is jesus, oh how I love him.
The one who gave, his life for me.
Because of love, so unconditional,
I will have life, eternally.
Praise that name!
Praise that name!
Praise that name!
Praise that name!
Someday Ill leave, this earthly dwelling,
To find a place, my soul will soar.
And finally see, the face of jesus.
And praise his name, forevermore!
That name is jesus, oh how I love him!
The one who gave, his life for me!
Because of love, so unconditional,
I will have life, eternally.
Excellent is that name!
Glorious is that name!
Wonderful is that name!
Oh praise that name!

Reason To smile

How can one smile such sweet smiles,
When one is so saddened by sorrows for miles,
How can I smile the same smiles,
When life brings me nothing but tears,
I wondered for so long,
What reason you had to smile that long,
To keep smiling though troubles come,
And still remain sweet and silently overcome,
It's such a mystery to me,
Your smiles from heaven with glee,
I adore and yet envy thee,
But I'd rather you smile those at me,
I feel happy when I see you smile,
Even if I'm sad and lonely,
Your smiles bring me somewhere,
I don't even know where,
But it was you,
You gave me the reason to smile,
To smile with no reason,
To smile for a smile,
I guess life is just like that,
We need not a reason to smile,
For a smile is the reason itself,
To rejoice and open-heartedly give thanks,
I learned to smile because of you,
Because your smiles bring me joy when blue,
It proves how well and powerful,
A simple sweet smile can become so beautiful,
Smile for the sake of a smile,
Smile for the sake of happiness,
Smile for the sake of life,
Smile because of hope left in life,
Smile my friends,
Smile for me my Love,
Smile those same sweet smiles,

Smile so the world can be a peaceful dove...

Thanks To You

You gave me life,
Gave me your heart
Your shoulder when I needed to cry
You gave me hope when all my hope was gone
Wings so my dreams can fly
And I havent told you enough
Havent been good enough, making you see
Chorus:
My love for you will live in my heart
Until eternitys through
I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, mama, thanks to you
You gave me your world,
Gave me your voice
Gave me your everything
Each breath of your life
You believe when I can never have
You teach my faith to survive
And I can never do enough
Never thank you enough, for all that you are
(repeat chorus)
I know the treasure, Im filled with grace
Whenever I see your face
(...music....)
And I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, mama, thanks to you
To you......

Days

- Album: Reality
- Lyrics and music by David Bowie
Hold me tight
Keep me cool
Going mad
Don't know what to do
Do I need a friend?
Well I need one now
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
All the days I owe you
All I've done
I've done for me
All you gave
You gave for free
I gave nothing in return
And theres little left of me
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
All the days I owe you
With redeyed pain I'm knocking on your door again
My crazy brain in tangles pleading for your gentle voice
Those storms keep pounding through my faded heart
I'll play your sooth my sorry soul
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days I owe you
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days I owe you
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days I owe you
All the days of my life

Vanishing Point

Grow up children, dont you suffer
At the hands of one another
If you like a sleeping demon
Listen can you hear him weeping
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
He buys love to sell tomorrow
My life aint no holiday
Ive been through the point of no return
Ive seen what a man can do
Ive seen all the hate of a woman too
Feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm
He cant touch the world we live in
Life is short but love is strong
There lies a hope that I have found
And if you try youll find it too
Remember why Im telling you
My life aint no holiday
Ive been through the point of no return
Ive seen what a man can do
Ive seen all the hate of a woman too
And they gave him away
Like in whistle down the wind
By the look on his face
He never gave in

You're All I Am

I never knew a man would be so lonely
The life of a treated man so wrong
But when the odds were all against me
You gave me the strength to carry on
You gave me a new start, so i will give you my heart
You, you are my life, you're all i am
Only you can understand the way i am
You never give me enough of your love
I need more and more each day
Honey, can't you see the only thing i can be sure of
Is that something real has come my way
Oh, so i believe my heart, though sometimes it tears me apart
You, you are my life, you're all i am
Baby it's you, you are my life, you're all i am
Only you can understand the way i am
You know i live my life for you
You are my life, you're all i am
Ooh baby it's true, you are my life, you're all i am
Only you can understand the way i am

Never Let You Down

If you don't smile again
You will cry until the end
Cause I know where you're bound
With the sorrow that brings you down
So now I beg of you
Tell me what I can do
To make you smile again
Cause I let you down my friend
Now you're on your own
In a life with your best friend gone
And it ain't easy to be
In a world of misery
So now I beg of you
Tell me what I can do
To make you smile again
Cause I let you down my friend
Your sorrow like rain comes down
In the tears that you shed
Now our love is gone
And your roses are dead
Your sorrow like rain comes down
Your sorrow like rain comes down
Cause I know I let you go
And I'll always regret it
Cause I let you down my friend
But I'll never let you down again
Your sorrow like rain comes down
In the tears that you shed
Now our love is gone
And your roses are dead
Your sorrow like rain comes down
Your sorrow like rain comes down
Cause I know I let you go
I'll always regret it
Cause I let you down my friend
I'll never let you down again
I'll never let you down again
I'll never let you down again
I'll never let you down again
I'll never let you down again
I'll never let you down again

Through It All

My life is played upon a stage
like a singer is to a song
with every tune I sing of mine
I show you just where I belong
standing here on the edge of time

It is like an open book
that is there for all to see
it holds a story to tell
on every single page
each word finely written

Nothing left out or forgotten
it shares the tears of my sadness
that for so long have fell
or the anger that's inside of me
that built up into rage

With each and every chapter read
I let you inside of my head
and showed you my pain and sorrow
or gave you hope for a better tomorrow
let you see life is but limited to borrow

You seen my days of happiness
filled with joy and sunshine
you watched me stumble and fall
and with every step I took
you been there through it all

Would She Come Back?

please don't leave my side
never discard your soulmate
there is no world without you
o dream, please never end
never get dissolved in the tears
there is no dawn in my life without you
i was like a doll before you entered my life but you
but you gave me an identity with your smile
i wanted to live with you all my life
yet you dissapeared like lightning
every night i ask one question,
would she ever come back.

To Cut Their Lives

I've read so many poems
Of young ones wanting
To cut their lives

Why is that so abundant?
In this world we all call home

Tears cascade from my eyes
As I read each poets write

Why would you want to be?
Away from your family
And your friends

I know I'm not a saint
Was a zombie most of my life
But at least I'm still breathing
And have my own son
Within my life

I try to understand
The pain you all went through
But it makes no sense to me
To why you want to cut your selves

I shudder to think
If my son would do that too
It would just kill me for sure
Because he is the apple of my eye

I beg I plead with sorrow
Throw away all those nasty knifes
And embrace the gift god gave you
An ever lasting life

Worth Dying For

Though you might not like who I am
You might even hate me to the core
But one thing I can tell you my brothers
Jesus said that I, was worth dying for.
As when they placed him upon the cross
And then nailed him onto that board
Jesus closed his eyes and spoke to GOD
And said that I, was worth dying for.
So now as I walked down any road
My soul is so happy and my heart is free
As I know that to myself that I am loved
And its by someone, that you cannot see.
I have sinned and been sinned upon
But that type of life I want it no more
As I live my life right, like the bible says
That's why Jesus said, I was worth dying for.
I live my life with a smile upon my face
And also with a happy song inside my heart
As I know that I am loved by GOD himself
And from him I could never or will ever part.
Now when I wake up each and every morning
As no one knows what in life is in store
But happy am I, as I enter each and every day
As I know Jesus said, that I was worth dying for.
So I sing my praise unto you my lord
As I thank you for what you’ve done for me
You gave me life and you gave me hope
And then you gratefully pointed out my destiny.
So this I tell you all my friends and my foes
As you wait or think from just the day before
Look at your life as you look into your soul,
And now think; were you worth dying for.
