What if the sun refused to shine?
What if the clouds refused to rain?
What if the wind refused to blow?
What if the seas refused to wave?
What if the world refused its turn?
What if the stars would hesitate?
What if what is isn't true?
What are you going to do?
What if what is isn't you?
Does that mean you've got to lose?
Digging for the feel of something new
What if the silence let you dream?
What if the air could let you breathe?
What if the words would bring you here?
What if this sound could bring you peace?
What if what is isn't true?
What are you going to do?
Digging for the feel of something new
What if what is isn't you?
Does that mean you've got to lose?
It came from your thoughts

Used-Up
Many people
one might meet.
On city sarcophagus street.
Are dead.
It’s just.
No one...
has gotten around,
to burying them yet.
This is what became
of the brokenhearted!
Who refused
to get their act together!
Who refused
to walk with faith!
Who refused
to embrace the light!

So far we have not convinced the Chinese authorities. My own brother was refused a visa on what was probably my last chance of seeing him when he was going around the world on a tour. Scott Nearing was similarly refused.

I never refused an autograph, never refused to buy someone a drink. Now I'm learning to say I've got other things on, instead of doing it and wondering why.

Captain Hale, alone, without sympathy or support, save that from above, on the near approach of death asked for a clergyman to attend him. It was refused. He then requested a Bible; that too was refused by his inhuman jailer.

Valentine
(jim brickman/jack kugell)
If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
Id still feel for you
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until
The end of time
Youre all I need, my love
My valentine
All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
Youve opened my eyes
And shown me how to love unselfishly
Ive dream of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldnt love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time
Youre all I need, my love
My valentine
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until
The end of time
Cause all I need is you, my valentine
Youre all I need, my love
My valentine

Deliver Us From The Elements
We can plant a seed
And watch it grow
Food enough to fill a table
Running water down an overflow
Eat as much as we are able
But would the fruit turn ripe
If the rains had never been?
Chorus: oh lord deliver us from the elements
We at your mercy and your reverence
Oh lord deliver us from the elements
Weve no defense we are impotent
You can travel far to distant lands
Some so hot no man could bear
You can conquer peaks with winds of sand
Where mother nature didnt care
Would not our world turn cold
If the sun refused to shine
Chorus
And when the world grows old
And we know more than our brains can hold
Nature will be law
Well were as helpless now as weve ever been before
Would not our world turn cold
If the sun refused to shine
Chorus

Woman’s power
Lords have been refused by maids.
Have maids been refused by lords?
Withholding is woman’s power.
Approaching is man’s weakness.

Love Shine
Shine
I wont sleep again until I sleep with you
I wont dream again until I dream again with you
My love
One look in your eyes and I see
The light shining through
I truly believe in the magic of all that you do
Give me hope
When I need it
Give me peace
When I feel it
Give me life
When I breathe it
Give me dreams
Keep me dreaming
One look in your eyes and I know
Its right for me and you
Feel the love shine
Feel the love shine
Do you feel the love shine?
Feel the love shine

All good people
Your flame is the fire that burns in the night
Guiding me through
Drawn out of the darkness and into the light you bring me to
Give me hope
When I need it
Give me peace
When I feel it
Give me life
When I breathe it
Give me dreams
Keep me dreaming
One look in your eyes and I know
That its right for me and you
Do you feel the love shine?
Feel the love that shines
Do you feel the love shine?
Feel the love that shines
Do you feel the love?
I wont dream again until I dream again with you
1234567
All good people got to feel the love
I wont sleep again until I sleep again with you
One chance in a million
To find a true love between two
Taken by the powers of what you believe
Knowing you cant lose
Give me hope
When I need it
Give me peace
When I feel it
Give me life
When I breathe it
Give me dreams
Keep me dreaming
One look in your eyes and I know
It was meant for me and you
Do you feel the love shine?
Feel the love that shines
Do you feel the love shine?
Feel the love that shines
Do you feel the love shine?
I wont dream again until I dream again with you
Do you feel the love shine?
I wont sleep again until
1234567
Do you feel the love shine?
Beyond the sun
Beyond the sky
These very questions lie
Starlight
Loving, in a lifetime
It was the first time candlelight
Something happens in your lifetime
Its the dance we all go through
Bring it in now
Bring it in true
Bring it in fast
Bring it right through
Right through
Feel the love shine

Strings Of Freedom
walk with me..
you and me, not separate
our poem is totality
and our poetry,
is all months,
from january..
to december.
walk with me..
where to decide
the strings of poetry
mixed with both,
the guitar's strings
and the strings..
of all seasons.
walk with me..
it's me, who guides
to all strings,
which said no
and refused to sleep
but refused not..
to dream.
walk with me..
i'm still to wait
for all strings,
walking in time
and resisting,
being jailed..
in the guitar.

The Love Sonnets Of Proteus. Part III: Gods And False Gods: LXXIII
TO ONE TO WHOM HE HAD BEEN UNJUST
If I was angry once that you refused
The bread I asked and offered me a stone,
Deeming the rights of bounty thus abused
And my poor beggary but trampled on,
Believe me now I would that wrong atone
With such submission as a heart can show,
Asking no bread of life but that alone
Your dear heart proffered and my pride let go.
Give me your help, your pity, what you will,
Your pardon for a sin, your act of grace
For a rebellion vanquished and undone,
The stone I once refused, that precious stone
Your friendship, so my thoughts may serve you still
Even if I never more behold your face.

Tick Tock
MY FRIEND WITH HIS ROUND SMILEY FACE
REFUSED TO TICK, REFUSED TO TOCK
I FEARED HE'D GIVEN UP LIFES RACE
AS I RAPPED AND IT STILL DIDN'T GO
MY GRANDSON SAID `GIVE IT SOME FOOD? '
BUT ALAS, IT WASN'T IN THE MOOD
HIS CHANGING` TOCK' HAS PUT ME TO SLEEP FOR SO LONG
ALONG WITH MY TEDDY, I NEEDED NO SONG
HIS HANDS HAVE STOPPED TO SHOW HIS SADNESS
TIME HAS RUN OUT FOR HIM
HIS SPRING IS PROBABLY BROKEN AND HIS CHROME WORN THIN
NEW MODELS TAKE OVER, THEY DON'T MAKE A SOUND
THEIR PARTS DON'T EVEN GO ROUND
SO THE CHANGES SET IN
WE ACCEPT THAT NEW SUPER DOOPER GIZMO THING

The Sandman who sleeps near-by a dustbin
Oh! The sad fading memory re-kindles.
That desperate fragile man was crying on a rainy day
And he was soaked in a cobbled narrow street.
I offered him a small colored note
But he refused.
And I gave him a big note that too he refused calmly.
Then only I realized that he was starving.
Unfortunately all the shops were closed and it seemed to be a public holiday in a memorial of a bygone puppet President.

Subjective Objectivity
Shallow.
Too hollow to perceive
One victimized by their deeds
Was not far beyond reach...
Of mental observation.
Shallow.
They who fed from prolonged contentment,
Resented lives led...
But refused to change!
Refused to see,
A bitterness contained stunted their stagnation!
Remaining in sustained defiance they stand.
With subjective objectivity...
They ensured they would be left behind!
Enduring the nothingness cultivated in their minds.
And willing to share their findings!
In caves where they dig in pursuit of light...
Ignoring the fading voices of rescue!

Your Turn To Remember
I was always the one
Who did the thinkin'
It was me, i'm sorry
I who made the plans
There was never a thought
We might do somethin' between us
It's so clear i think
I'm beginning to understand
I was the one who had to
Lay it out and pay it out
I would work all night
Even though i wanted to
Play out and stay out
Now it's your turn to remember
And it's your turn
To try to understand
But you never would, would you?
When the time came
For stayin' together
You refused to even
Talk about for ever
It was easy telling me
You love me
And i was a little late in
Finding out the truth
The rule of love was there
You had to bend it
Now the damage is done
It's impossible to mend it
I can't mend it
Now it's your turn to remember
It's your turn to feel a little pain
I feel a little better
Talkin' about her
Yet her memory's not good for me
The skies are not so grey now
I've found a new tune to play now
It's a better song
It'll be followin' on
And when the time came
For stayin' together
You refused to even
Talk about for ever
It was easy telling me
You love me
And i was a little late in
Finding out the truth
The rule of love was there
But you had to bend it
Now the damage is done
It's impossible to mend it
You know i can't mend it
Come on babe
It's your turn to remember
Your turn to feel a little pain

The Young Man Who Refused To Take Off His Shoes
A young man
wandering in the dark
with his heart bleeding
found himself
infront of the house
that was fully lighted.
A woman
who seemed to be
an upright person
opened the door
and pityingly lead the young man
to enter the house
but then stopped him
when she saw the young man entering
with his shoes on his feet.
The woman told the young man
to take off his shoes
but the young man refused
to do so.
'I'm sorry,
I cannot let you in
if you won't take off your shoes
it is my policy
that everyone must take off the shoes
when entering the house.'
But the young man
still refused
so the woman pushed
the young man away
from the door and told him,
'I cannot help you
if you won't follow my policy! '
and the woman shut the door.
The young man
who refused to take off his shoes
back in the dark
wandering
with his heart bleeding
...alone.

the War Lost
Friday's depression
refused to
wait 'til Monday
It
demanded
immediate attention
It
demanded
immediate action
Now,
there are no
demands.
Death
makes no
demands
Shades drawn.
A sunny day.
Blacked-out room,
without breath
Friday's depression
refused to
wait for Monday
Many battles
had been won.
Now, a war lost.
Never to see
another battle, ever.
Everyone
struggles

Heartbreaker
(russ ballard)
And theres no need to tell me Im just wasting time
But if you tell me break it slowly
Im in deep water and Im hanging on a line
And youre the only one can save me
But if you gotta go
I think you better know
Oh, heartbreaker, if you wanna leave
I wont make you stay
If you wanna go, better go away
Oh, you loser, offered you a love
You refused her
What you gonna do when she goes away
I know the memories melt their pictures in my mind
Too bad to see they could be fading
But Ill come home to you
If someday you should find
You want me back then Ill be waiting
But if you gotta go
I think you better know
Oh, heartbreaker, if you wanna leave
I wont make you stay
If you wanna go, better go away
Oh, you loser, offered you a love
You refused her
What you gonna do when she goes away
Um, heartbreaker, if you wanna leave
I wont make you stay
If you wanna go, better go away
Oh, you loser, offered you a love
And you refused her
What you gonna do when she goes away
Oh, what you gonna do when she goes away
