I Still Believe
the scars on my face have names,
the ache in my soul has a face.
the hunger in my heart has a reason,
the light in my eyes is God's breath...
i still believe...
the prayer i cant pray i live,
the debt i cant pay still haunts me.
the love i leave on the doorstep
will stand the test of time.
i still believe...
the forgiveness i need i have given.
the mistakes i have made dont own me.
the anger i feel slowly transformed,
the peace i seek i will find...
i still believe...

My Eyes Dont Cry
I was a lonely no one
Living in a vacuum as lifes debris
Victimized as one whose self deprivation
Had made for my outer insecurity
I was a he aint nothin
Living in the slums of loves misery
Starving from the lack of sweet affection
til you came to rescue me
My eyes dont cry no more
My heart dont ache no more
Since you walked through my door
I dont have to no longer be blue
My eyes dont cry no more
My heart dont ache no more
Now taht loves touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I was a mr lonely
Seeing only darkness in the bright of day
Blind even though my eyes were wide opened
But then your love sunshined my way
My eyes dont cry no more
My heart dont ache no more
Since you walked through my door
I dont have to no longer be blue
My eyes dont cry no more
My heart dont ache no more
Now taht loves touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I dont cry, baby baby I dont cry
I dont cry, baby baby I dont cry
I dont cry, baby baby I dont cry
(repeat)
My life was without reason
Sinking in a hell that had no space or time
Falling to the burning pit of pain and sorrow
Until you saved this life of mine
My eyes dont cry no more
My heart dont ache no more
Since you walked through my door
I dont have to no longer be blue
My eyes dont cry no more
My heart dont ache no more
Now taht loves touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I dont cry, baby baby I dont cry
I dont cry, baby baby I dont cry
I dont cry, baby baby I dont cry
I dont cry, baby baby I dont cry
My eyes dont cry no more
My heart dont ache no more
My nights are not lonely no more
My tears dont flow no more
My eyes dont cry, my eyes dont cry,
My eyes dont cry no more

Haunts Of Ancient Peace
Beside the garden walls,
We walk in haunts of ancient peace.
At night we rest and go to sleep
In haunts of ancient peace.
The love and light we seek,
The words we do not need to speak,
Here in this wondrous way we keep
These haunts of ancient peace.
Let us go there again
When we need some relief
Oh, when I cant find my feet
When I need rest and sleep.
The sunday bells they chime
Around the countryside and towns
A song of harmony and rhyme
In haunts of ancient peace.
The holy grail we seek
On down by haunts of ancient peace.
We see the new jerusalem
In haunts of ancient peace.
Oh, when I cant find my feet
Oh, when I need some relief
One more time again.
You know I want to go there one more time again.
Be still in haunts of ancient peace.
(be still)

You Dont Know A Thing About Me
To you Im just the man who let you down
The one who never gave you what you need
Its true I wasnt always around back when you were reaching out for me
I know you think I didnt care
You say Im just the hurtin kind
I know you think my heart wasnt there
But Im beggin you to think it through one more time
Cause you dont know a thing about me
If you dont know how much I miss you
And you dont know a thing about me
unless you know how much i need to be with you
Well, I see the mistakes I made
The way I acted carelessly..
But if you dont know how much I need your forgiveness
Then you dont know a thing about me...
If I could just go back and make it right
and take the tears away you know i would
Ive come to you with no excuse tonight
Just a prayer that ill be understood...
You tell me that im never gonna change
I'll always be the same ol guy..
You think theres nothing left for us to say
Before you write me off take a look in my eyes
Cause you dont know a thing about me
If you dont know how much I miss you
And you dont know a thing about me
unless you know how much i need to be with you
Well, I see the mistakes I made
The way I acted carelessly
But if you dont know how much I need your forgiveness
Then you dont know a thing about me...

Know Me
Take 5 second, think about my crew, who am I p.o.d.
Chorus
Listen my cry, what do you hear?
Live my breath, how do you feel?
Look my soul, what do you see?
Imagine a moment, you dont know me
Take five seconds and listen up, open your mind
Never met me face to face, but persist to talk behind my back
In face, you never even seen me never been where I am
From, where Im at, or even be me so check me, test me,
I aint got nothing to loose, been down since the beginning
Stop and stare at me not who you are
Cuz your to scared to be
Chorus
Reap what Ive sown, it all goes along with my past
Its not the first time Ive struggled and it wont be the last
No class, when you talk about another how can you say
You love me, when you hate your brother, you smother
But my faith keeps me difference between me and you holmes
Is that Im forgiven, I got your back if youre down with my crew
I looked to him, so I dont answer to you
Chorus
Who am i, I am you
8x
Im just like you
4x
Listen my cry and tell me, I know you hear me
Live my breath and tell me, I know you feel me
Look my soul, and tell me, I know you see me
I know you love me

I Dont Wanna Face It
Say youre looking for a place to go
Where nobody knows your name
Youre looking for oblivion
With one
Eye on the hall of fame
I dont wanna face it oh no
I dont wanna face it no no no no
Well I can dish it out
But I just cant take it
Say youre looking for some peace and love
Leader of a big old band
You wanna save humanity
But its people that you just cant stand
I dont wanna face it oh no
I dont wanna face it no no no no
Well I can sing for my supper
But I just cant make it
Well now youre lookin for a world of truth
Trying to find a better way
The time has come to see yourself
You always look the other way
I dont wanna face it oh no
I dont wanna face it no no no no
Well I can see the promised land
And I know I can make it!
I dont wanna face it I know

A baby I was when you took my hand
And the light of the night burned bright
And the people all stared didnt understand
But you knew my name on sight
Whatever came of you and me?
Americas new bride to be
Dont worry baby Im safe and sound
Down in the dungeon just peaches and me
Dont I love her so?
Yes she made me live again yeah!
A thin moon me in the smoke screen sky
Where the beams of your love light chase
Dont move dont speak dont feel no pain
With the rain running down my face
Your matches still light up the sky
And many a tear lives on in my eye
Down in the city just hoople and me
Dont I love him so dont I love him so?
Whatever comes of you and me
I love to leave my memories with you
Now Im here (now Im here.)
Think Ill stay around around around
(around around around around..)
Down in the city just you and me

We Will Cry
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Chorus:
And we will climb, rise up above the shame
And we wont run, run from each others grace
And we shall stand, stand up against the fear
And we will never, never go back again
And we will cry
What do they know of loneliness and love
A love so strong youd gladly give your soul
They dont see anything but hunger and fear
Fear to lose themselves, deep within themselves
And they hide, they hide behind their eyes
For fear their pride be broken
We have our hearts
To pull throught the pain
To take us to the very edge and push us over
And I cant see any other way but to leave this place
They will never know how good theyve made us feel
Their shallow lives have made us so much stronger
Theyll never feel, the way we feel
They way we stand for one another
So take your useless time and get on with your life
Weve been a passing light and now were passing over
And you will never know how loneliness can feel
For all we felt inside was hunger for each other
Chorus and fade

Love Is Like Clock Law
This heart is empty
Ive barely hidden memories
Ive found a picture that haunts me again
Ive no sad expression
Ive no tears in my eyes
But I am the clown who forgot how to laugh
I wonder, does she think of me?
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder, does she call my name?
I cried
Dont leave me here alone
I cried
Dont leave me, dont leave me
Love is like clock law
Tick tock my heartbeat
I was a passion that passed her spare time
This room is prison
Love doesnt come here
These quiet nights will slowly kill me
I wonder, does she think of me?
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder, does she call my name
I cried
Dont leave me here alone
I cried
Dont leave me here alone
I cried
Dont leave me, dont leave me
Dont leave me, dont leave me
I cried
Dont leave me, dont leave me here
Im quite alone

Mom
You held me in your arms for the first time,
Warm tears were rolling down on your white cheeks,
And for the first time, I felt the love's delight,
I understood that this is how love speaks.
Drops of happiness betrayed your infinite excitement,
Our two hearts as one then began to beat,
entering in a new stage of love's enlightenment,
Your smile was angelic, and your breath so sweet.
So many sick days you watched over me,
Whispering with love, “You’ll be fine!”
So many late nights spent on your knee,
You taught me love's reason to shine.
You were there with me when I took the first step,
You taught me when to move and when to stand still,
When to leave my worries on the doorstep,
You have inspired me with your power and your will.
You gave me comfort in pain and sorrow,
You were always by my side,
You taught me what's tomorrow,
You taught me how to read and how to write.
You walked with me on my first day of school,
The first book that we read together, it’s now long past,
You taught me that to be myself is cool,
To live each day as the first one or maybe as the last.
With love and tender, you corrected all of my mistakes,
I still remember how you told me; You are the best!
No matter how much hurts or what it takes,
You always have to live the truth and stand the test.
You taught me to say what I think and what I feel,
Without any fear, always watching the sky,
To dream but also to know what is real,
To be powerful when I'm down and modest when I'm up high.
You taught me to comfort others with my love,
And to spread the Light, all around me,
You told me that I am a child of God's above,
You taught me to believe in Eternity!
So many precious things you planted in my heart,
You gave me life and taught me how to live it too,
You're up in Heaven, but we'll never be apart,
Today, tomorrow, always Mother, I Love You.

A Question Of Faith
Ill crawl for you
Hurt if you want to
Ill be the thing that you feed.
Im not asking
For love or redemption
Ill sell my guilt to your need.
Ill breathe for you
Die if you want to
Ill mourn with you by my grave.
I dare you to judge me
Now God has disowned me
Ive come to you to be saved.
They say I sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.
Ill shine for you
Burn if you want to
Youll be the prize for my pain.
Ill kill your god
And pray for salvation
Ill be the in to your sane.
Ill lie for you
Be your conscience in you
Sacrifice reason for shame.
I wont ask for
Faith or forgiveness
Ill be the blood in your veins.
They say I lost my way
Ill wait for judgement day.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
Ill be your darkness
In the light
Ill be your vampire calling
In the dead of night
Ill be your demon
Shadow man
Ill be your one confession
And if I can
Ill be your nightmare
And scream for you
Ill be your one possesion
If you want me to
Ill be your secret
Memory,
Ill be your exhibition
Of atrocity.
They say I sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.
They say I lost my way.
Ill wait for judgement day.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
They kneel down, praise god
Shout allelujah,
Lift up their eyes when they pray.
When children kill children
Dont it make them wonder?
Dont it make them question their faith?

Gimme one reason why you look so sad
A heart like yours wasnt made for that
Gimme your hand, Ill pull you through
Gimme some time and I swear to you
Every night
Ill be so close
Every night
Hey dont you know
You and me
Were made to be in love
Dont let them tear us apart
You and me
Were made for love
Baby you know its a matter of fact
I cant stand by when you feel like that
Baby, you know when it comes to love
I got time and thats time enough
Every night
Ill be so close
Every night
Hey dont you know
You and me
Were made to be in love
Dont let them tear us apart
You and me
Youre all I ever need
Look in my eyes cant you see?
You and me were made for love
You can lock your door
You can live alone
You can dim your lights
Disconnect the phone
You can run
But you will live in a lie
You and me
Were made to be in love
You and me
Were made to be in love
Dont let them tear us apart
You and me
Youre all I ever need
Look in my eyes cant you see?
You and me
Were made to be in love
Dont let them tear us apart

Missing You
It's been a while since I saw your smile,
Never seen your face but I felt your grace,
From a distance your gaze,
Your eyes, they warm my heart,
What a great place to start!
In my heart, always,
Always a place for you,
A quiet space,
What a beautiful place!
Lost in time, no rhythm nor rhyme,
Until at last,
We find the peace we deserve,
To live, breathe and to serve,
So when you think of me,
Remember to feel free,
Live life through freedoms door,
Know that I will love you evermore,
I will see you in a quiet room,
A dark corner where you light the gloom,
In a moment of silence, a quiet breath,
Moves us one step further from death,
Sometimes I feel there can be no end,
As long as our hearts mend,
A soul that is your friend,
Then the light of love will know no end.

Still Would Stand All Time
Its just around the corner, its just around the block
Vthis love that Ive been waiting for, a love solid as rock
A love that reaffirms that we r not alone
A love so bright inside u it glows
And night and day would run together, and all things would b fine
Still would stand all hate around us
Still would stand all time
Still would stand all time
Its not a thousand years away, its not that far my brother
When men will fight injustice instead of one another
Its not that far if we all say yes and only try
Then heaven on earth we will find
(all time)
(still, still would stand all time)
No one man will be ruler, therefore love must rule us all
Dishonesty, anger, fear, jealousy and greed will fall
Love can save us all
Oh, love, love, oh love if u would just please give us a sign
Still would stand all time
Heaven, heaven on earth we all want 2 find (we all want 2 find it)
Still (still) would stand all time
We r not alone people (were not alone)
Tell me can u see the light (can ya see the light)
If u just open your eyes (still would stand all time)
So much u will know, so much u will show
Love, love, its not that far away if we all say yes and give it a try
(got ta give it...a try...yes!) still would stand all time (I say still)
(so many times) so may times, I thought I could not make it
(still would stand all time)
Life was closing in I just knew, I just knew I couldnt take it
Thats when love opened its arms, and if u dont go in child
Still would stand all time (still would stand all time)
U better run to the light, leave your past behind
All things will be fine
Still would stand all time

In The Solitude Of Prayer
In the solitude of prayer
deep
Lost in moments in between weep
and sleep
In the solitude of prayer
Lonliness finds a rest
Survived another test
Brings out our best
In the solitude of prayer
With nobody there
Except those far away
Reminded of their distant care
In the solitude of prayer
You pray for their smile
For their personal trial
Silently, all the while
In the solitude of prayer
Dreams seem more near
More hope than fear
Thoughts of those past those dear
In the solitude of prayer
Pray for their souls kind
Whose memory is still in your mind
And in your heart
In the solitude of prayer
Pray for your dear friends
Whose heart's you defend
As your own heart they mend
In the solitude of prayer
As for God's wisdom
And his love
As all love comes from above
In the solitude of prayer
Find grace to forgive
And to truely give
And to live
In the solitude of prayer
Recall how to dream
Of warm embraces of affection
And of love returned in your direction
In the solitude of prayer
Pray with conviction
Pray for the impossible
Without fear or restriction

Real Men...
real men...
dont threaten.
real men dont lie.
real men dont take
at the expense of others.
real men dont quit.
real men dont make excuses.
real men dont follow blindly.
real men dont abuse women.
real men are good fathers.
real men live by respect.
real men dont seek violence,
but dont back down.
real men get involved.
real men face their fears,
and their failures.
real men own their mistakes.
real men dont judge.
real men pray with the same hands
they wipe their buts with,
and know it!
real men forgive.
real men love at all costs.
real men stand for what they believe...
what the world needs now
is real men... (and women) !

This Is who I Am
Theres heart-ache where these tears come from. Attached to them a life time of hurts caused by too many hopes gone awry.
Theres heart-ache buried so deep in this heart that its hard to seperate where the heart-ache ends and anger begins.
Anger strong enough to break through any kind of heart-ache.
Anger that paralyzes the heart to stone. Making it unbreakable to any heart-ache. Making it unbreakable for those that cause that heart-ache.
coupled with that anger is regrets and self-pity.
Drowning in them but at sinful piece.
This is what i'm used to.
This is who i am.
This is what i know, understand.
This all consuming emotion that builds day-2-day behind blu eyes that smile at every joke that goes bad.

You Are The Prayer!
pray for peace,
and then live your prayers!
pray for love,
then give your love a body.
pray for hope,
then make the changes needed
to bring hope life!
pray for forgiveness,
and then forgive!
pray for courage,
then dare to do!
pray for fullfilment,
then give everything you
cherish away!
pray for wisdom,
then listen intently!
pray for tomorrow,
then live today!
pray for truth,
then walk naked and strong!
pray for the earth,
then treat it with respect...
pray with all of your heart,
then be silent and still,
knowing, and believing,
that you are the prayer!
