Fatalist

Journey close or journey far.
It makes no difference where you are.
For life will find you wherever you go.
You can't escape it for it does know
what you need to make you grow.

If your needs are many or few,
no need to worry, they'll come to you.
You will have choices that you will make.
You will give and you will take.
And most times things will even out
and at other times you'll be left with doubt.

You'll doubt the truth and swallow the lie.
You'll react with denial and sometimes defy
that this is what can make you grow.
But in the end all that you'll know
will prove to be what you came here for,
nothing less and nothing more.

Journey From Small Place

I make a journey in a paper
A contemplation ink in white field
I make a journey inside the book
Traveling my imagination in the word ocean

I make a journey under the table
A furious food battle on the ground
I make a journey on top of the roof
Transforming myself among the cloud in the sky

I make a journey outside the glass
A different possibility faces on the transparent canvas
I make a journey at the bridge
Clearing the dark shadow with the water current

I make a journey above the tree
An adventure child who never stop to grow
I make a journey over my pillow
Bringing a piece of dream to reality world

Journey From A Small Place

I think I'll journey out some day to wondrous lands afar,
Or even chart a journey to a distant blazing star.
I make a journey in a paper
A contemplation ink in white field
I make a journey inside the book
Traveling my imagination in the word ocean

I make a journey under the table
A furious food battle on the ground
I make a journey on top of the roof
Transforming myself among the cloud in the sky

I make a journey outside the glass
A different possibility faces on the transparent canvas
I make a journey at the bridge
Clearing the dark shadow with the water current

I make a journey above the tree
An adventure child who never stops to grow
I make a journey over my pillow
Bringing a piece of dream to reality world

The Collector

I pick things up, I am a collector
And things, well things, they tend to accumulate
I have this net, it drags behind me
It picks up feelings for me to feed upon
There are times, plenty of times
I wish I could let it go
But it's time to breed
And it's got to grow inside me
There are times, plenty of times
I wish I could let it go
But it's time to make me think things
I don't wanna know
I'm trying to fit it all inside
I'm trying to open my mouth wide
I'm trying not to choke
And swallow it all
Swallow it all
Swallow it all
Swallow it all
I am the plague
I am the swarm
All your heart sticks on me
And I keep it warm
It'll make me stay
It won't let me leave
There are so goddamn many of them
It gets hard to breathe
I'm trying to fit it all inside
I'm trying to open my mouth wide
I'm trying not to choke inside
I am a good boy, and I will
Swallow it all
Swallow it all
Swallow it all
Swallow it all
Every last one [19x]

Rocky Road

Isn't life just great?
When you get things
Thrown into your path

You're really confused
On the next steps one must always make
So with caution you must take
To make the journey
In ones own rocky quake
Is to swallow ones own pride
And just get on with you're own life

You sit at times and wonder
What have you ever done in your life?
To get all this confusion
That rocks the foundation of your life

You start to panic at first
And think this might
Not be the right choice to make
But once you hold your footing
On the rocky road ahead
The only thing to do
Is make a stand
In what you know
Will be the truth

Indifference / Alive

I will light the match this mornin' so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent for soon that will be gone
Oh I will stand arms outstretched pretend I'm free to roam
I will make my way through one more day in hell
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make
I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
Oh I'll keep takin' punches ha-ha until their will grows tired
Oh I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
Hey I won't change direction and I won't change my mind
How much difference does it make yea
How much difference does it make how much difference
I'll swallow poison until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
How much difference (x2)
How much difference does it make yea
How much difference does it make

Ive never seen blue eyes filled with so much love
I never thought Id find out what I found in your touch
Someone up there must like me cause im
Lookin at the proof theres no doubt about it

Not Make Believe

Written by Stevie Nicks
Isn't just that we cause each other such pain
Everywhere we go now, at home or at play
It hurts my self esteem, it hurts my everything
I am reeling... oh, it hurts my feelings
Sometimes it was heavenly (Sometimes it was heavenly)
Sometimes it was too heavy (Sometimes it was too heavy)
Sometimes it's just too much for me (Sometimes it's just too much for me)
Well I want to run away (Oh, well I want to run away)
Then there are the things, cast this doubt away
Those things that made me stay for so long
Not make believe then, I'm not make believe now
Not make believe then, I'm not make believe now
I didn't understand then, but I understand now
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
And they both rushed by, like a thief in the night
Taking no prisoners, just like the first time
Adventures in paradise
Just like the first time
Then there are the things, cast this doubt away
Those things that made me stay for so long
Not make believe then, I'm not make believe now
Not make believe then, I'm not make believe now
I didn't understand then, but I understand now
Then there are the things, cast this doubt away
Those things that made me stay for so long
Not make believe then, I'm not make believe now
It's not make believe then, I'm not make believe now
I didn't understand then, but I understand now

A Journey Down Life's Pathway

A Journey Down Life's Pathway

I'm taking a journey down life's pathway
into a world unknown to me.
Unsure of the directions I must take
but one thing I know for sure
I'm to walk by faith and not by sight
as the world is known to do.
I decided to walk down this life's pathway
when I answered the Father's call from above.

Everything going so smooth,
I asked my Father to draw me close
and make me more like His Son.
Then all of a sudden my world turned upside down
test and trials that came my way
I didn't understand why?
There is no way possible to walk this life's pathway
that I have chosen for Him.

So discouraged and ready to give up
from all the hurt and pain in my life
I know I have failed
it seems nothing turns out right.
With tears in my eyes and with all of my heart
I cried out, “Father!
This is not what I wanted
nor is this what I asked for.
Can't you see there is too much pain? '

Then I hear His soft gentle voice telling me
'Through the test and trials
that I have sent into your life
is to teach you to lean and trust in Me.
Through test and trials I draw you close
and make you more like MY Son.'
Now I'm beginning to understand why.

Still with all the test and trials
I stumble, fall and at times
I just want to give up.
I still wonder why it has to be so hard
why can't I just run and hide?
There is too much pain and heartache
to continue on a journey down this life's pathway
no matter how hard I try.

Again I hear that soft and gentle voice
of my Father saying to me,
'Don't be discourage and don't give up
for I have brought you this far.
I have never left you, my child,
and I will never leave you alone.
I will go with you each step
and every mile of the way
until your work is done.'

With His words so gentle
and softly spoken
now encourages me to stand tall.
Through test and trials still come my way
I know that I'm not alone
my strength is renewed each and every day.
So no matter what may come my way
I will draw close to my Father
and become more like His Son.
Then when my journey down this life's pathway
finally comes to an end
I know without a doubt
I will stand with Them
through out all eternity.

Give Me Just A Little More Time

Written: wayne, dunbar
Chorus:
Give me just a little more time
And our love will surely grow
Give me just a little more time
And our love will surely grow
1:
Lifes too short to make a mistake
Lets think of each other and hesitate
Young and impatient we may be
Theres no need to act foolishly
If we part our hearts wont forget it
Years from now well surely regret it
Chorus:
2:
Youre young and youre in a hurry
Youre eager for love but dont you worry
We both want the sweetness in life
But these things dont come overnight
Dont give up cos loves been slow
Boy, were gonna succeed with another blow
Give me just a little more time
And our love will surely grow
Baby please baby
Baby please baby
3:
Love is that mountain we must climb
Lets climb it together your hand in mine
We havent known each other too long
But the feeling I have is oh so strong
I know we can make it theres no doubt
We owe it to ourselves to find it out
Just,
Chorus:
Give me just a little more time
And our love will surely grow
Baby, please baby
Baby, please baby
Chorus:

Journey

we all pick a way to go
it's a difficult journey
to take on your own
but some have to

my way may not be right
but it's the way I chose
I'm not saying take my way
I'm saying find your own

my journey may be rough
but I'll be okay
just because I know
things will work out

be strong in your choices
or don't make any at all
what's the point in saying one thing
when you believe another

we all are strong
in our own way
and we all must go
at our own pace

you might say I'm wrong
you might say I'm right
but you will soon see
whether I'm right or wrong

we all have a method
that goes well with our madness
but be all you can
and go your own way

don't be afraid if
your on your own
because it'll make you stronger
in this I promise you.

Lesson From Oscar de la Hoya

Life is ten percent of what happens to you
And the ninety percent of how you react
Choices make what soon becomes of you
And that my friend, is the undeniable fact.

Choices can make or break the man you are
And no one else is responsible for your life
Family will reinforce your choice so far
Still you have the will to grow or stay in strife.

'L ife is 10% what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it'
(Chuck Swindoll)

Lifes highway code...

We are each on our own great journey,
Along the highway of life we travel.
There are many paths that we can choose,
And we watch as our choices unravel.

We all reach crossroads on our journey,
But which way should we proceed?
The choices we make and direction we take,
Should equal our hearts deepest need.

With no signs or markings no clues or pointers,
To help us choose our track.
Once travelling that road the choice is made,
There's no point in looking back.

But more junctions and sliproads lay ahead for us,
Our choices are never an ending.
If we take a wrong turn we can correct our mistake,
A new choice is always pending.

Sometimes our soul's touch and we travel together,
Down the highway of our life.
Along unmarked paths together we walk,
When united we can conquer any strife.

Each step we take a memory we make,
That teaches us countless things.
The further we go the wiser we grow,
As we learn what the future brings.

So journey with hope through an ever changing world,
Along this lifes great road.
When we spread peace and love this lesson we learn,
We should obey lifes highway code...

Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Through My Ardent Prayers

With a discipline kept in practice.
And assisted through my ardent prayers.
I am there within a mental seclusion.
I am there aware and devoted...
Feeling blessed each day!
Although I am tested to accept,
And manifest delusions.

My best is tempted to slide at times.
When my mind becomes bombarded,
With teases I taste.
Most times easy to find.

I admit it can be difficult,
To break away from my human lusts.
But a faith I maintain...
To help me refrain from such temptations.
And I grow to trust,
That I can and must endure.

As long as I know my quest made is pure...
From doubt and confusion,
Induced with desires I can refuse to embrace.
I can face darkened shadows.
And replace the clouds with Sun to shine.

It is through my ardent prayers,
I dare to strengthen on my journey.
In a haste not wasted on yearnings...
To undo mistakes I can make sometimes.

But learn I do with each step I take,
I can choose whatever it is I wish.
And I wish to be free to be me...
Unafraid,
To expose my imperfections.
Or show I can heal,
From blemishes revealed.

It is through my ardent prayers,
I dare to strengthen on my journey.

Let Me Know

Let me know
Let me know
oooo
Let me know
Let me know
Let me know
When I feel
What I feel
Sometimes it's hard to tell you so
You may not be in the mood
To learn
What you think you know
There are times
When I find
You wanna keep yourself from me
When I don't have the strength
I'm just a mirror
Of what I see
hook:
But at your best
You are love
you're a positve motivating force within my life
Should you ever feel the need to wonder why
Let me know
Let me know
ooo
Let me know
When you feel
What you feel
O how hard for me to understand
So many things
Have taken place before this love affair
Began
But if you feel
More like I feel
Confusion can give way to doubt
For there are times
When I fall short of what I say
What I say im all about
All About
hook
Tell me what it is
(Tell me what it is)
There is no need to make believe
(Make believe no need to make believe)
Look beyond your world
(Look beyond your world)
Try to find a place for me
(Try to find, find a place for me)

Endless Journey

There is a journey we all take,
To find who we are, what we will be and more.
The journey is endless, for it follows life
the good times and the bad.
the journey is hard but worth while.
It is filled with sadness and grief,
There is danger at every turn, every street.

Though, it isn't all so dark.
Sun shines even in the darkest hour;
as the birds sing, the flowers open.
The path brings you to people, to friends.
AS it goes on, even to love,
To happy times you spend in the sun
with the one that holds your heart.
The journey isendless, but full of hope.
Even when death comes and claims life
it's still not the wnd of the journey,
Only a new begining.

For Everyone The Life Journey

For everyone the life journey is different though a journey that for all of us must end
Along the way we meet some who do not like us But we also do make many a good friend
And on the journey we learn many lessons we've been learning from life since before we did crawl
And every day we live in life for us a lesson and that applies to you and me and all
And on our life journey we make many mistakes and for every one of them some price to pay
But we must struggle onwards towards the finish and every dawning for us a new day
For many life's road more uphill than downhill it is a hard journey to undertake
We have the good days and we have the bad days and every dawn to a new challenge we wake
Tomorrow is another day they will tell you and tomorrow in it's own good time will come
But tomorrow will not be for everybody today's will be the last sunset for some
For every one of us life's journey is different so different for you as it is for me
And our thinking on most things are quite different we all look at life so very differently
For everyone the life journey has to end sometime but where or when we are not meant to know
For some it will end before they reach their prime years and for some when they are walking slow.

Our Love

(phillip damien)
Our love I could never live without it
Our love call my name and Ill be there
Our love no one here could ever doubt it
Our love your heart our love
Time has said that when were together
There wont be a never to keep us apart
I believe this love will grow stronger
Our days will grow longer
Your loves in my heart
There were times when I thought that we would never be
Two hearts that beat as one
Now I know that its real
The way that I feel
And baby I want to say that you make my life a joy
Our love I could never live without it
Our love call my name and Ill be there
Our love no one here could ever doubt it
Our love your heart our love
Now I know that well be together
Forever and ever till the end of time
Heres a love that burns like a fire
Yet filled with desire
And sweeter than wine
Could it be that we are living in a fantasy
Some say it cant be true
Now I just cant conceal
All this passion the thrill
Come let me show me that I love you
Its true I do
Our love I could never live without it
Our love call my name and Ill be there
Our love no one here could ever doubt it
Our love your heart our love
My love and your love
I said together not without it
Not anyone could ever doubt it
Said our love together forever and ever
In love the sky I fly above
And I cant fly without our love

How Many Times

How many times will you rip me apart?
How many times will you crush my soft heart?
How many times will you push me away?
How many times will I have to pay?
How many times will you make my heart cry?
How many times will I have to try?
How many wrongs do I have to make right?
How much strength do I have left to put up the fight?
How much more can I take before I walk away?
How much patience is left to help make me stay?
How many more times will I hear you're alone?
How long to soften you're heart made of stone?
How long before I can have back your heart?
How much longer will it take to have a new start?
How much longer can I hold on to hope?
I am feeling that I'm at the end of my rope.
I will pray once again, that He'll help me fight.
To hold on one more day, and hold on one more night.
Hold on to a love, that she has let go.
In the hope what's now gone, can flourish and grow.

Be A Fighter

Fail is a part of success
So don't be sorry for failure
Just use it so you won't fall again

Hard work is all what I ask from you
Never give up always have faith
Because that will make you alive
Never surrender but keep fighting
Life is a battle you have to win

How much sacrifices that you will do
How much pain will happen to you
Never give up always be a head
Work and fight forever
Even if you die, die as a fighter
Then people will know
That you find your way in life
It was never about reaching the top
It's the journey that you make
The journey that you stayed alive in it
Even if you left life

The Rest Might

The rest might...
Criticize.
The rest might,
Analyze the times.
But these are
Only the times to live.
And these are
Only the times to give...
'What' and 'how' we can.

The rest might...
Try to hide.
The rest might,
Cry with alibis.
But sympathies
Really do not pay.
Not even wishing
That these times go away.
Nothing,
Today will stay!

The rest might...
Close their eyes.
The rest might,
Fight themselves inside.
But even having nothing more to say...
Wont make a difference,
If all things decay...
Right before our eyes!
