Too Reach To Far
There times in life
When you reach out
Too far and too long
You are the one who ends up
Falling off the cliff of life

'Til I Get It Right
(Red Lane - Larry Henley)
I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
Right now I'm like a wounded bird hungry for the sky
But if I try my wings and try long enough
I'm bound to learn to fly.
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
My door to love has opened up more times than in
And I'm either fool or wise enough to open it again
'Cause I'll never know what's beyond the mountain
Till I reach the either side.
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
If practice makes perfect that I'm near 'bout
As perfect as I'll ever be in my life
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right.
--- Instrumental ---
If practice makes perfect that I'm near 'bout
As perfect as I'll ever be in my life
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right...

Till I Get It Right
(written by larry henley, red lane)
Ill just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right
Right now Im like a wounded bird
Hungry for the sky
But if I try my wings and try long enough
Im bound to learn to fly
So Ill just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right
My door to love has opened out
More times than in
And Im either fool or wise enough
To open it again
Cause Ill never know whats beyond the mountain
Till I reach the other side
So Ill just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right
If practice makes perfect, then Im near about as perfect
As Ill ever be in my life
So Ill just keep on falling in love
Till I get it right

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Its Ok
Its ok
Love is only meant for some
Im the rock
The shoulder you can cry on
I keep the walls from falling down
I keep the walls from falling down
I keep the walls from falling down
Ill play it straight
While you laugh and drink and party all night long
Ill designate myself
To be the driver who takes you home
I keep the walls from falling down
I keep the walls from falling down
You can be pretty and tragic
Ill try to keep the walls from falling down
You can be beautiful and fabulous
Ill try to keep the walls from falling down
I cant reach the pain you feel
But Ill try to keep the walls from falling down
If you can hold on
Lose your fear
Ill try to keep the walls from falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Where is your saint
To let you know youre not alone
To bring you peace
Help me be your friend your confidante
And keep the walls from falling down
Keep the walls from falling down
Keep the walls from falling down

Finding Another
Maybe we weren't meant to be
Maybe this is lust and not love
Maybe I'm in lust with you and in love with him
No I'm in love with you
But you never know until you try right?
No I'm with you! Never! No trying!
You're the greatest guy
You're the man of my world
You're the man I could never replace
You're the love of my life
My soul mate
The guy I want to spend the rest of my life with
I must be getting cold feet of some sort.
I love you for a million reasons
I will love you until I die
But could he be my real soul mate
Or are you
I'm so confused with my feelings for you
And my feelings for him
What should I do?
I'm so lost
In my mist of mixed feelings for you and him
What do I do?
I don't know what I need to do
Help me someone
I've falling off the cliff of righteousness
And don't know my way back up
I'm lost and don't know how to get back
Just give me your hand to help me up and
Point me in the right direction
I love you more then I've ever loved anyone else
In my whole life
But I'm falling hard and very fast for him
Even after I've told my self about a million times
That I don't like him I love you
And always will love you.
I'm being loyal to you and
That's a big improvement for me because I've never
Been loyal to someone that's been in a relationships
With me in my life so
That must mean something
Right?
It dose to me!

is this just another love song? well it sure sounds that way..
about some girl who dumped me and how i found my way
well this time its different, 'cause im not coming back
im not sure i want another freak attack
am i old enough to have fallen so many times?
fallen for a girl like you before i let my life behind
why cant i just find a perfect girl
the one i know was meant for me and knew that i would live forever
its an all or nothing game like russian roulette
you can pull the trigger and risk your life, or sit back and relax
all of my romances left with a bullet in their head
it leaves a whole story blank.. it leaves a dreamer dead
am i old enough to have fallen so many times?
fallen for a girl like you before i let my life behind
why cant i just find a perfect girl
the one i know was meant for me and knew that i would live forever
im falling.. im falling.. im falling.. im falling.. i'm falling.. i'm falling..
am i old enough to have fallen so many times?
fallen for a girl like you before i let my life behind
why cant i just find a perfect girl
the one i know was meant for me and knew that i would live forever
am i old enough to have fallen so many times?
fallen for a girl like you before i let my life behind
why cant i just find a perfect girl
the one i know was meant for me and knew that i would live forever

Life long...
Life long dreams made
Life long debts paid
Life long fights won
Life long task done
Life long sorrow averted
Life long disasters diverted
Life long promises kept
Life long tears were wept
Life long hate is bound
Life long Love is found
Life long hearts as one
Life long end will come

Labyrinth of life
River that flows ‘tween the two opposite ends
Dancing, singing, jumping Keeping ends apart,
Ends broke the abyss, amid the wave, left no ends,
Coincidentally, no ends and no river, all depart.
O River! The wave, " ye the curiosity of the ends".
Gigantism, the heaviness of thought dies into the salt,
Free from worries, all rose up to heaven and hanged,
Then slowly moved with roar and thunder that banged,
With cry, new life starts and the earth laughs with malt.
O Ocean! The womb, "Ye the fertile land that mends ".
You and me and the labyrinth of our thought coils,
Maimed with wave while on separation which spoils,
'As the nature so we are', all the same, O my love
Initially we were falcon on high cliff and later we were dove.
O maze! The thought, "Ye the labyrinth of life that spells"

A Lesson From Escalante
It was an instant in eternity
Some words that strike and linger
Touch cords in one's humanity
With wisdom to make one ponder
In life we face inevitable truth
There is some failure and defeat
But lessons learned from these bear fruit
When falling comes, to rise and meet
Again to face life's challenges
To not bow down nor count the falling
But to write there boldly in life's pages
The many times one gets up... rising.
'In life, you don't count the many times you fall -
you count the many times you get up.'
(Jaime Escalante)

A Season
Moving through London
A tide receding
The moon leaves me
A blue season ends
As I pass the many faces
Finding focus in others eyes
Searching a reflection
To see myself defined
In seven days I see
A fiction that I started
Some years ago, a trend
Now falling undefended.
I have my life to consider
That’s all any really have
When we broke our hearts
So long ago, I lost who I am.
So I’m sitting here at dinner
Alone among millions
Thinking, writing and waiting,
It’s all I think I am.
I left at the oasis
Down Shaftsbury avenue
To gape at an admired pace
Falling out of view
He’s swinging his umbrella
In his right hand as he walks
I wonder if he’s thinking
What he saw in the eyes of the lost.
He disappeared into my words
Reminding me of you
When once I saw the space
So small between us two
I’ve run; I’ve walked
I pine and stare
To live a life for this
I cannot bear.
Run away and hide
Familiar is my life
But sickened by this pilgrimage
No end can I confide.
I’ll look for you again
My friend I pray you’re there
For me in a sun rising
Where a blue season ends.

Hour Glass
I sit and stare
Watching as every grain falls away
I sit and stare
Asking what's there to life with every falling grain
I sit and stare
Asking what secrets lie within these sands of time
I sit, but this time I wonder
if the next falling grain brings hope to life
Clock's ticking, I sit back to relax
Sands falling, I clear my mind to hear my heart
Every minute passes me by, it's a moment to ponder
Reflections on my actions, the consequences that will seek to haunt me
But what good is this if I sit here another day
Ephemera it may be but life wasted if I regret my steps
watching as life ticks and trickles away from the grasp of man
I wish to see another day
So I sit and ask
if the next falling grain brings hope to life
I take a moment to sigh, so let my breath whisper my weakness
Tired from the daily routine of life
A hopeless endeavor lived for self
Ambition they say but what good is it if led by greed
if primary becomes secondary and secondary becomes primary
roofing replaces foundation and pillars become ruins
because surely chaos will pay you a visit
hence I know not a building of such design that stands the test of life
so I'll sit and ask
if the next falling grain brings hope to life
I'v been sitting in this chair for far too long
Least to say, my mind feels a little bit too far gone
Seeking for answers before the end of time
For when time ends judgment awaits
Will memories be our tombstones or will they be our well built thrones we'll one day sit on
Seek ye first what lies in the kingdom above
Let the gifts be secondary , let foundation be the basis
So u may sit and know
That the next falling grain brings hope to life

Before It Goes Away
There are times when life is hard.
There are times when life is easy.
There are even times when life is perfect,
but that only lasts a short time.
So long as there is life,
we should take the good with the bad
and enjoy every minute
that is given to us.
Life is too short,
a countable time in years.
Best we make the most of it,
before it goes away.

It's My Life
It's funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose
I'd tell myself what good do you do
Convince myself
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
It's my life (it's my life)
Don't you forget (don't you forget)
Caught in the crowd (caught in the crowd)
It never ends (it never ends)

Song That Never Ends!
tired of body,
tired of soul,
so much to do,
so much left undone...
the cup of life spilling over,
the latch on the door locked.
the taste of moonlight,
and long green grass....
paper stacked on paper,
the candle nearly burnt down.
the smell of love, the feel of the cliff,
and the song that never ends!

till my life ends
After one brief tryst
A night as short
A blade of grass
Briefly cut
In Silliman-
Must I long for her
Forever?
With my whole heart
Till my life ends?

Story Of My Life
The story of my life
is very plain to read
it starts the day you came
and ends the day you leave
The story of my life
begins and ends with you
the names are still the same
and the story's still the truth
I was alone
you found my waiting
and made me your own
I was afraid
that somehow I never could be
the man that you wanted of me
You're the story of my life
and every word is true
each chapter sings your name
each page begins with you
It's the story of our times
and never letting go
and if I die today
I wanted you to know
Stay with my here
share with me care with me
stay and be near
and when it began
I'd lie awake every night
just knowing somewhere deep inside
that our affair just might write
The story of my life
it's so very plain to read
it starts the day you came
and ends the day you leave

The Journey Of A Thousand Miles, Begins In A First Step
THE JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES, BEGINS IN A FIRST STEP
In everything we do in this life, it always begins in a first step. In other words, when we want to achieve something or excel in any field of endeavor in this life, we must take the first step or move. Basically, we can not move upward in a ladder without stepping on the first step and if we will not take the first move to go upward and journey beyond a thousand miles in seeking our dreams and aspirations in this life.
In our ardent desire to achieve our ambitions, aspirations, wants and needs in this life, we really can not have them if we are not willing to take the first initiative, first move or first step towards such long journey before reaching the petals of our desires or aspirations in this life we owed from God. We must really have the guts, courage and patience to dip our own toe in the sand of burning obstacles, trials and bellowing risk with prudence in this life before we can finally reach the pinnacle of our dreams. It always take a single step to begin any long and arduous journey in this life while we are seeking the meaning of our sense of being and reaching and realizing what we wanted to do and become in this life.
We really can not move forward or go a long way in this journey of life to reach our desired destiny our faith or fate may determines without taking the first leap of courage, sacrifice, patience and perseverance along with dynamic commitment and interest to go on with the journey even if at times the way we are traveling may not be as cool as we wanted or as clear as we prayed. Indeed, any journey in the ocean of life to reach the other shore of our dreams and aspirations in life always begins in sailing with a first paddle of guts and courage to succeed.
