To venerate the simple days

57

To venerate the simple days
Which lead the seasons by,
Needs but to remember
That from you or I,
They may take the trifle
Termed mortality!

The Days to Remember

Do you remember the days?
The days of Cinderella wanting to go the ball
The days of the seven dwarfs
The days when you believed in it

I remember those days
The days you held your mother’s hand
The days when you wished on a star
The days you believed that wish would come true

Do you remember the days?
The days of jump rope
The days of secret hand shakes
The days you believed it was just so easy

I remember those days
The days when you would hide and they would seek
The days of spending all day playing ball
The days you thought it would never get hard

We all remember those days

Lead Me, Humble Prince

Take my hands.
Lead me by your side.
Walk me through every path,
i have always dread.

Take away this flame
and cover my shame.
Aid me of these pains.
Aid me for my heart aches.

Remember...

On thy cross i cling.
For thy blood i plead.
Filthy, wash me clean.

Remember...

My sin is ever before me.
Lead me across this raging guilt.
Say a word, and
raise my bended kneel.

Remember...

Darkness beguile me.
Blind, i cannot see.
Revive me.
Lead me humble Prince.

Remember...

Remember how gave up your pride.
Remember how you were tried.
Remember how you cried.
Remember,
it was all for me.

Heal me.
Unto victory,
Lead me, Humble Prince

Don't fear your mortality, because it is this very mortality that gives meaning and depth and poignancy to all the days that will be granted to you.

Pure & Simple

(j. van zant, e. king, r. johnson, m. lunn)
I used to live in a poor neighborhood
My friends and me we always had a time
Never had no money but we had it so good
Those days are gone and i wanna go back
So pure so simple
Never thought about it when you're young you don't care
You don't realize it 'till it's all behind
Take it for granted just not well
(chorus)
Oh-oh it was pure and simple
I'll remember those days 'till the end
Oh-oh god knows it's simple
If i could live my life all over again
I'd keep it pure and simple
Those days are gone and i wanna go back
Got me a feelin' i'm not alone
Wish i had a road so i could go back home
(repeat chorus twice)

Remember Not

Remember not lost loves and friends gone astray.
Remember not doubts and fears that held your heart at bay.
Remember not those who criticize, since you can’t please all.
Remember not ones who never learn regardless of their fall.

Remember not all who bring you down for they’re not your friends.
Remember not wasted times with them and their capricious ends.
Remember not anyone who seeds sadness in your life.
Remember not this sower or your fault will lead to strife.

Remember not yesterdays, but as they affect tomorrows.
Remember not the easy ways as they will lead to sorrows.
Remember not anyone that blocks your happiness,
Especially the mirrored image whom you daily dress.

A Simple Kiss

A simple kiss
can lead to many things,
a heart filled with love
and a golden ring.

A simple kiss
is how it starts,
who knows where
that simple kiss will end.

It can lead to happiness
the greatest we’ve ever known,
or it can lead to pain
and a broken heart.

Remember The Day.

[remember the day]
when fighting meant your little brother not sharing his cookie?
[remember the day]
when loving someone was as simple as a good hello?
[remember the day]
when war meant playing with squirt guns in the back yard?
[remember the day]
when a tree house could be an escape from reality?
[remember the day]
When pain meant a simple paper cut?
[remember the day]
Because now that day is gone.

Obelisks

Let me remember old trails
Let me weep over lost loves
They are all the same love
But different

Let me remember old trails
Cherry trees along muddy roads
And ancient obelisks
They are now so different
But still the same

Let me remember missteps
Let me regret wrong paths
They are all the same path
But different

The seasons always alter
Or they hardly ever change
Only the hours pass
Time stands still
And your love is mine

Let me remember old lanes
Let me weep over old loves
They are all different
But still the same

Let me remember good times
Life in its fleeting flight
Days of yore that vanished
They are still the same
But different

The seasons always alter
Or they hardly ever change
Only the hours pass
Time stands still
And my love is yours

Let me take new roads
Let me praise new loves
They are all the same love
But different

Lead Balloon

Kiss my ass! I said
And I threw my drink
Tequila trickling
Down his business suit
Must be the irish blood
Fight before you think
Turn it now
You cant cowtow
You cant undo it
Its his town
And that went down
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
He said sic her, rover
That went over
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon
An angry man is just an angry man
But an angry woman
Bitch!
I had to ask him for a helping hand
It came with the heart
Of a bonaparte
Of a frozen fish
Its his town
And that went down
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
He said sic her, rover
That went over
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon
Lead balloon, lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon, lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon, lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon
Its his town
And that went down
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead balloon
He said sic her, rover
That went over
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon

It's Just That Simple

There's a whole lot of money that you gave me
I'd gladly empty my pockets right now
You'd parlay all that by triple
It's just that simple
Those days I'd gladly walk so long for you,
Although it seemed I crawled most of the way
After some time I felt like a cripple
It's just that simple
Last week I was thinking about traveling by land,
And the time you remember we were by the lake
It wasn't even like we made a ripple
It's just that simple
In my head, the time didn't make a ripple
It's just that simple

Am cruel

I am cruel but not kind
I have eyes but still blind
Path wide open but no decision
Nothing to see with blurred vision

Can I be termed as simple curse?
No attachment and good feeling to nurse
I am human being still of course
You lead me to the light and show the course

I am burden and useless force
I have no means to know it from any source
I have been misguided and taken to extreme
I have disregarded even authority supreme

I forgot to take short note
My ship was simply afloat
It has no gadget to find direction
It may sink any time with simple action

What makes me so arrogant and proud?
Why I don’t keep shut and speak so loud?
Why my feet are not firmly placed on the ground?
I am not sure whether my mortal will ever be found

I never thought of being alone
The property can be destroyed by cyclone
The trees can be uprooted from the roots
Why was I thumping unnecessarily the foot?

I am hundred percent sure to perish
The life may soon end or finish
I don’t have to perform such foolish venture
What Am I gathering here for simple future?

I need to awake for better world
Sunny days and no bitter cold
I will suffer here only as it has been told
I shall have no soul but left with enough gold

I need to catch popular pulse
All negative ideas must be repulsed
Share the grief and be very brief
This may grant me some momentary relief

Mom Said 'Remember Them

The childless, Father remember them
they are termed barren
the subject-matter of in-laws
the meal of their evil tongues
remember them.

The single ladies, Oh Father
it's their will to have family
a husband and children
but it ain't their wish to be single
remember them.

The widow, My Father
give them love they miss
their integrity is questioned
their cries, watch it father
remember them.

Those your daughters, Father
facing intimidation
them: street's laughingstock
they have no peace in heart
shame on them can't be bore
remember them FATHER.

The Days Of Our Lives

Free are the simple days
that bring you no care.
Imprisoned are the hard days
that are difficult to bear.

But bare them we must
and keep hopes high
so none of them
will let hope die.

Ecstatic are the beauteous days
that spring forth with joy.
Hapless are the colorless days
that appear and then destroy

the freedom that
you thought was yours
because it came
and closed the doors

on the simple days
that were with you,
because you believed
they'd never be through.

Simple As That

Got us a situation
It dont need no explanation
It dont take a scientist
To figure out just what this is
Unlike the changing seasons
Love happens without reason
Its as simple as that
Two people meet its destiny that theyre together
Its as simple as that
I knew when I met you that this would last forever
Its as simple as that
And I can promise you that I will leave you never
Im happy right where Im at
Its as simple as that
Its how I feel when you call my name
Its holdin hands in the pouring rain
A slow dance that never ends
The sweet sound of violins
And even when were apart
You beat around in my heart
Its as simple as that
Two people meet its destiny that theyre together
Its as simple as that
I knew when I met you that this would last forever
Its as simple as that
And I can promise you that I will leave you never
Im happy right where Im at
Its as simple as that
Its as simple as that
Two people meet its destiny that theyre together
I knew when I met you that this would last forever
And I can promise you that I will leave you never
Im happy right where Im at
Its as simple as, its as simple as that
Its as simple as that
Its as simple as that
Its as simple as that.

On My Way Home

I have been given
One moment from heaven
As I am walking
Surrounded by night
Stars high above me
Make a wish under moonlight

On my way home
I remember only good days
On my way home
I remember all the best days
On my way home
I can remember every new day

I move in silence
With each step taken
Snow falling round me
Like angels in flight
Far in the distance
Is my wish under moonlight

On my way home
I remember only good days
On my way home
I remember all the best days
On my way home
I can remember every new day

These Are The Days

My grandma was a wise old soul
Took me by the hand not long ago
Said, "Son, what's your hurry, boy slow it down
Taste the wild honey, listen to the sound
Of the wind that's blowin' through the trees
Rivers flowin' to the sea
Yeah they're all headin' home just like you and me
Life's for livin' child, can't you see?"
These are the days we will remember
These are the times that won't come again
The highest of flames become an ember
And you gotta live 'em while you can
These are the days we will remember
These are the days we will remember
These are the days we will remember
These are the days we will remember
So take 'em by the hand, they're yours and mine
Take 'em by the hand and live your life
Take 'em by the hand don't let 'em all fly by
C'mon, C'mon now
Ooo days go by
Yeah, just like a hand out the window wavin' in the wind as the cars go by
Days go by

Sound The Bugle

Sound the bugle now - play it just for me
As the seasons change - remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing left - just an empty heart
I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
Or leave me lying here
Sound the bugle now - tell them I don't care
There 's not a road I know - that leads t anywhere
Without a light I fear that I will - stumble in the dark
Lay right down - decide not t go on
Then from on high - somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls - remember who you are
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow
So be strong tonight - remember who you are
Ya you're a soldier now - fighting in a battle
To be free once more...
Ya that's worth fighting for

Love Is

Love is not that simple

Not as simple as,

Love is?

Yet I remember you,

In and out of love,

Nothing lost

That is not gained

Yes I remember you,

In and out of love

In a year full of famine

Finding you here

Standing in the midst of war

After the rain

And the dance of lost chances

I remember you standing here

As clear as a picture

Brighter than those days now gone

Moving in and out of love

Like shadows

In and out like waves across the sun

So much to live for

So much richness found in famine

And love is, and love was,

Never quite here

Never quite gone

Lead, Kindly Light

Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom,
Lead thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home,--
Lead thou me on!
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene,--one step enough for me.

I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
Shouldst lead me on:
I loved to choose and see my path, but now
Lead thou me on!
I loved the garish days, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.

So long thy power hath blessed me, sure it still
Will lead me on;
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
