A time and occasion
Slow and steady you win the race
Calm and quieit successfully you face
One step forward and two steps backward
Still eyes straight toward goad and look ahead
It may not be easy but still not impossible
Its outcome is apprent and certainly visible
You need to plan as per time and occasion
Nothng should left out in haste or confusion
It may materlize in days to come
Any of the set back must be tackled and welcomed
Nothig should deter us from going with precision
It has to be sharp and clear cut decision
It is advised not to halt till it is achieved
The drive should not slowed be down un til pressure is relieved
There is should be no difference betwwwen what is said and believed
There should no be any mismatch for what is aimed at or delievered
It may bring some valuable support from all the quarters
It may swing into your favor and alter
The world also favors the positive swing
Everybody is supposed to perform the right or bring
The ide can be turned into favor
The ships can be eeasi; ly anchored
The shores can be washed with all glory
There is no room then to cut sorry
It has desirous effect on passimism
Much stress should be laid on enthisiasm
What can not be converted in tor eality?
Certainly it cn be done with fine blend and quality
Fortune favors the brave and bold
They have the powers to hold
The ultimate goal is nearly possible
Nothing can be termed as impossible

Guess Who I Saw At the Mall?
Do me a favor?
'What's that? '
Promise not to do me anymore favors.
'Why'?
When was the last time you did me a favor?
'I don't remember.'
That's why I want you to promise,
Not to make anymore promises...
You will do me a favor.
'What was I suppose to do for you? '
Call my boss this morning.
To tell him I was sick in bed with a fever.
Guess who I saw at the mall?
Asking me 'if' I plan to be sick,
For the rest of the week?
'I don't know.
Who? '

2 Steps
You know im the kind of guy that does a 9-5
Workin real hard cuz its the way I live my life
Back home just me and you girl all alone
With no one interrupting, switch off the phone
But I could be that other guy
Who comes home late at night and tells you lies
So why you trippin out on me girl all the time?
When everyday its only you thats on my mind
Everytime we take one step forward you take two steps back
Everytime its right you bring left back
Hey you really gotta think about it
cuz theres really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and thats the truth
Everytime we take one step forward you take two steps back
Everytime its right you bring left back
Hey you really gotta think about it
cuz theres really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and thats the truth
You know you're the kinda girl that doesn't need to front
Keep it real, let me know just what you want
Sometimes you just dont know when to stop
Your working so much over nothing
Your just losing what you got
Now cant you see there's no other girl
I think your the most beautiful woman in this world (yeah)
But you say I dont appreciate ya and I dont know how to treat ya
We dont do the same things we used to do nomore
Everytime we take one step forward you take two steps back
Everytime its right you bring left back
Hey you really gotta think about it
cuz there's really no doubt about it
You know ive been there for you and thats the truth
Everytime we take one step forward you take two steps back
Everytime its right you bring left back
Hey you really gotta think about it
cuz there's really no doubt about it
You know ive been there for you and thats the truth
Remember, it wasnt that long ago
You told me that you loved me so
Dont forget all the nights we shared when you told me girl just how much you cared
Remember, you can be led astray
But thats the way playas play
Im not that kinda man why cant you understand cuz I
Want you to trust in me, Babygirl cant you see
You're only gonna mess things up
You've done enough
Why cant you stop cuz
You're gonna lose whats good for you
And thats the last thing you wanna do
Won't find another like me
Everytime we take one step forward you take two steps back
Everytime its right you bring left back
Hey you really gotta think about it
cuz there's really no doubt about it
You know ive been there for you and thats the truth
Everytime we take one step forward you take two steps back
Everytime its right you bring left back
Hey you really gotta think about it
cuz there's really no doubt about it
You know ive been there for you and thats the truth
Everytime we take one step forward you take two steps back
Everytime its right you bring left back
Hey you really gotta think about it
cuz there's really no doubt about it
You know ive been there for you and thats the truth

That Has Yet To Happen
Do me a favor.
'Sure.
I'm here for you.'
Don't do me anymore favors.
That's the favor I am requesting.
Everytime you have been here for me,
Why is it I have to remind you...
Of a favor you promised to do,
That has yet to happen?
'So what are you saying?
The excuses I used,
Were not good enough for you?
And I went out of my way,
To choose the best ones I could?
Well...
You don't have to worry about me,
Ever doing you a favor again.
People like you are not worth my time.
And are so ungrateful.'
I know.
It's difficult for me,
To not think of myself all the time.
'I'm glad you can see how selfish you can be.'
I'm reminded.
'Good.
It's not all about you,
You know.
I have a life to live too.'
I'm reminded.

I Could Not Love You
There're a billion people in the world
All of them equal but of different worth
I find you to have a value equaled by no other
You are a rare and beautiful flower
But I'm sorry that I could not favor you
And make you the queen of my heart as I should
That instead I chose a different group
And I chose to favor them more than you
To favor a person means that you are two
And I'm sorry that I could not be with you
And a favored another one more fair
Although you are a true queens heir
And amongst a million kings and princesses
You always claimed that you were the fairest
And though your heart is the kindest I knew
I apologies that I could not favor you
And instead I chose to favor another
Not your equal, but not your better
I see a million faces each day but only acquaint with a few
You and I went different ways so I could not favor you
You and I once had our chance but I chose to let it go
You had no fault at all as I made the choice alone
And instead I chose to look for another
And I did favor them more than you
Although in my eyes you are a flower
I'm sorry that I could not be with you
And value you as a queen like I should
But just as I favored another more than you
Another favors you more than any other
And chose to be with you and no-other

An ambition is not fun
Who may not want to have an ambition?
Even with many difficulties and on run?
Can any one extract it at the point of gun?
What if we cut a joke and make fun?
It remains at the heart core
Asking for more and more
No one may be exactly sure
Will try to make it simple and pure
What is good there in becoming a star?
Dream will still be distant and very far
It may shine dimly and constantly remind
Why not try for it and certainly find?
Think very high and reach the goal
Find out the diamond from the coal
Show it to the world of its original class
Not few followers but may find in mass
It is still not done and required touch
Task may not be difficult as such
Try to respond in assertive manner
You need no support or known banner
Why not you try to become sun?
Your beam may shine the surface of moon
Find the reflection on faces of unknown
Great relevance in it to remain as well-known
Be the guide and weep the tears
Keep the spirit up without any fears
Mark the paper map with help of shears
Give the momentum with the help of gears
The world may notice your presence with surprise
You may have to look beyond and summarize
Let your conscience wake up and authorize
No one remains untouched when you glamorize
Is it not beautiful world to see with clear vision?
Goal is seen in near vicinity without any confusion?
Earnest attempt to wind it up for common betterment
Let us join the race and make it remarkable movement
Stand not alone amidst the desert sand
Call for help from unknown friend
Keep no secret about your good will mission
Never say no for any fresh response for admission
Alter the course by will power and thrust
Come out of the self exile as it is must
Don’t allow your revolutionary ideas to rust
Put all your efforts with determination and trust
You should know how to steer the course
Always ready to move without guilt or remorse
Nothing is impossible in the world of course
Love is only available and determined force
Swing the wind in your favor and sail
See the success and test it without fail
Life wagon may move safely on rail
Surge ahead and don’t look back or trail

Am not upto
I am not exactly what I am supposed to be
I am prisoner of conscience and not free
I surrender to ill wishes and temptation
Is there any link or some relation?
Mind is true reflection of thoughts?
It may be constantly seized with rights
How easy win can be scored over adversary?
Many tips may come for to take action necessary
We have learnt enough about the dubious distinction
Life is full of struggle and involves frictions
How to counter and overcome remains only worry?
There is no time to say sorry
You can't live easily with honest means
There is lose of face and no clear wins
You struggle hard and don’t emerge as winner
You loose the race and chances become thinner and thinner
Still we opt for short cuts
There are many ifs and buts
It is greatest tragedy if insensibly we act
If goes wrong then we angrily react
Large black clouds shadow thoughts and career
They bring gloom and prove as strong barrier
I got to remove them before it is too late
I can't buy any arguments for or against the fate
Means doesn't justify at the end
It has to be forceful with positive trend
If there has to be some bold action with attitude
It must come off with powerful magnitude
Nothing moves on by simple adoption of ways
Everything can't remain same in all the days
It has to be tackled by options that are open
We can't wait for it again to reopen
The end may speak of your intention
You must take all prevention
You might be exposed for the way that you adopted
No one may go into question and ask why you co-opted?
You got to be offensive without double standard
This is the only way you must look forward
The most of people are thriving on deception
You can survive without it from inception
It may give you enough joy at its redemption
You may feel relieved with out having any exemption
You may still be looking forward with simple exception
It is not the proper way to go ahead with weak application
The action should speak louder than words
Its action may take you forward
Nothing can stop you from getting success
You have enough room for access
Try to act honest
It is always best
Don’t leave everything to luck
You will be simply struck

Action in contemplation
Do not act in haste
It will be too late
No one may come forward
To offer you consolation or word
It is real test
You should not waste
You should not sit idle or rest
Until you get clearly the best
This is give and take
You have to act and reciprocate
The world is tit for tat
You will have to act as per that
Who will venture for nothing
If there is no gain for something
You can't expect people to be liberal
No note is taken of if told in verbal
Hollow words may invite only problem
It won't be taken seriously by them
You got to prove your worth
As there is shortage or dearth
Your intent will not be judged
Your action only will be weighed
One bad action may invite gloom
There won't be left any other room
Search for reasonable praiseworthy solution
It must only be action packed resolution
You must mix with the people as solubles in water
That is most important and subject matter
Have all cards close to the chest
Try to think positive and deliver the best
Forget about the result and leave it to rest
That may prove as your crucial test
Public memory is too short
Many may try to scuttle or abort
You need their valuable support
Try to be with them with personal rapport
You may pass through all ordeals
But it is short term fall out and not real
You guess what can be next in store?
Try to think and possibly explore
Any action may have equal response
You must be careful and alert hence
You never be given chance to face
This is one time final race
All are striving very hard to attain
They may prove as your rivals main
You got to overcome them and excel
It will definitely speak of you very well
The desirous result is not achieved if acted in haste
It is totally unwarranted and waste
People may get hint of your preparation
You may be failing in your examination
It is always advised to go for speedy action
People should not be afforded with quick reaction
It must be like lightening speed and in waves
No one may come forward and simply dare
This thing is expected of a person
He has to act differently in all the seasons
There may not be many reasons
Only one may be the real reason

Perception and Ideology
You are a person of high resolve
Capable of flying high and certainly solve
All burning problems with high degree and care
This keeps you go high and wonderfully dare
Once you believe in projecting the target
Take calculated risk and watchfully act
How come achievement can elude the success?
When you have complete reach with full access
Any successful person may air his intention
Develop powerful instinct with all its prevention
What if plan runs into rough weather?
And what next if finds no favor either
Man is blessed with clear ideology
He has been blessed with it from almighty
He may dock it with powerful drive
Stay in race and successfully survive
What is seen in mirror is clear reflection
What you are is reflected with action
It can’t be different from what you project
Outcome may have direct bearing on your act
The world is open field
The void can’t remain until it is filled
Only person of far sight vision can survive in race
You can easily find the happiness on face
You must only project
When you are determined to act
Perception and beliefs don't change often
In case of life threatened even
Ideology and aims are interlinked
Only brave finds answer when they are successfully linked
We are simply made of earthen pot
We can be broken easily even before wars are fought

Steps
Maybe one step ahead, maybe two
I could ease my day a little
Maybe two steps ahead, maybe twenty
I won’t be chased in doing my work
Maybe twenty steps ahead, maybe plenty
I could enjoy my day at peace
Maybe plenty steps ahead, maybe more
I won’t be surprised by any outcome
Maybe more steps ahead, maybe none
I let my life to be freely flow
Maybe no step ahead, maybe just one
I could focus on what I want to achieve
Maybe one step ahead, maybe two
I could take a little nap
Maybe two steps ahead, maybe twenty
I won’t be alerted every time
Maybe twenty steps ahead, maybe plenty
I could prepare the worst
Maybe plenty steps ahead, maybe more
I won’t be bothered by all strategy maneuvers
Maybe more steps ahead, maybe none
I don’t really care about that anymore
Maybe no step ahead, maybe just one
I won’t waste my energy to worry

Cadillac Jack Favor
(clint black/hayden nicholas)
Hes cadillac jack favor and the name rings true
If hes got a ride any stranger would too
The one bad habit that his ponder would say
Is sure gonna put him through the trials one day
And thats just what happened he took pity on two men
Heading down to louisiana, he stopped and let them in
And the thanks he did for helping them
Would make him wish he was busting broncs again
He dropped them off in bossieer city where they met up with a man
That vagabond commitee barely even had a plan
It was just a simple robbery turned double homicide
They got away with murder itd be someone elses hide
Almost two years come and gone they never solved that crime
til they found one of our vagabonds already doing time
When that jailbird started singing they all knew the words were wrong
But the sheriff and the da and the judge all sang along
They pinned it on jack favor, gave him life without parole
Gave jacks freedom to the jailbird, payment on the lies he told
Just so happens that election year everybody payed out at the polls
Cadillacs no fallen hero and hes never gonna break
When it comes to prison rodeo, therell be no easy eight
And if you want the definition of the picture-perfect frame
Itd be in the dictionary underneath jack favors name
Cadillacs no fallen hero and hes never gonna break
When it comes to prison rodeo, theres still no easy eight
And if you want the definition of the picture-perfect frame
Itd be in the dictionary underneath jack favors name
Yeah, its the worlds most crooked picture and when it comes to being framed
Cadillac jack favor should be in the hall of fame

With No Vision
I hold you near
Just to support you dear
Keep in mind as such no fear
Just trust your own ears
Watch with own vision
Keep nothing in mind with confusion
It may be related
But sometimes unrelated
That makes you feeble
Lands you in trouble
Unable to take decision
Think about it with precision
You need not rush to the corner
There is also no need to push it for later
Have your own course for future
I can, on my part, certainly assure
Life is certainly worth and precious
It has to be kept on and continuous
Let there be no other thought
As we have resisted and fought
Today we are on platform
Where we need to be better informed
Life must relate and come to the point
We need be one and certainly a permanent joint
I shall leave no stone unturned
You may certain be back in fold and returned
You are and will ever remain so
How hall allow you to go?
I have determination to hold
Face it bravely as bold
You may certainly look forward
This is my final word
Come and join me in my drive
You may certainly survive
Take me along and make it easy
We are one entity and be not be so choosey
I shall hold you hand in hand
As if to remain together as friend
It shall be our right endeavor
To walk along with pride and honor

I Don't Play For Money
I don't play for money, just not enough
I don't play for money, but I do for love
Show some emotion, take a chance with me
A pair and a bluff, ain't such bad company
Fortune favors the brave
So stack my deck full of hearts
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
Too many aces, up so many sleeves
Eight chips and a chair, that's all I need
Counting the numbers, then let luck play its part
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
With your house full of diamonds, you're so sharp and so proud
I'll raise the steaks higher, you're with the best in town
Fortune favors the brave
So stack my deck full of hearts
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
Break
Your river of diamonds, is a river of dreams
it turns into nothing, without love in between
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I walk right up and take my chance
Look Lady luck face up and place my bet
i bluff and hold and play my hand
in the only game i love to win
Fortune favors the brave
I've stack the deck full of hearts
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, just not enough
I don't play for money, but I do for love
I don't play for money, but I do for love

Prairie greyhounds (C.P.R. "NO. 1," WESTBOUND)
I swing to the sunset land--
The world of prairie, the world of plain,
The world of promise and hope and gain,
The world of gold, and the world of grain,
And the world of the willing hand.
I carry the brave and bold--
The one who works for the nation's bread,
The one whose past is a thing that's dead,
The one who battles and beats ahead,
And the one who goes for gold.
I swing to the "Land to Be,"
I am the power that laid its floors,
I am the guide to its western stores,
I am the key to its golden doors,
That open alone to me.

Bring Me Home
There is this emptyness I carry around with me
Just like a hole that you will never see
I wander in the sun but its cold inside of me
Im a monkey in the zoo but someone cut my tree
Hey God if you are really up there and I am not alone
Just do me a favor,
Bring me home
Just do me a favor,
Bring me home
My oversized bedroom appears so small without you
Ive tried it all from pills to gin but havent found the clue
Its like someone has locked the door so I cant get through
To where the emptyness is wiped away by you
Hey God if you are really up there and I am not alone
Just do me a favor,
Bring me home

No Relevance
You are Special. Believe it or not
But why things are unnecessarily fought
Once it has got no relevance
And almost with nil importance
Why is it that you worry on other lines?
When they can be pushed to sidelines
When something can not deliver good?
We should throw it away as junk food
What even if you called a failure?
How their help can make you to cure?
It is useless to spend energy on simple gossip
When it is needed to issue appeal or whip
Let them see anything in you and comment
You have set goal with movement
You are master of your own destiny
Leave aside all worries and work with only harmony
You are single and have personal identity
This should be considered as precious quality
One needs to harness and surge ahead
It may only provide you clear lead
It is nice if you can think about
Take pain to listen to somebody’s shouts
But ultimate decision is taken by you
And this only will take you through
At the time if taking crucial decision
Your opinion must be prevailed with precision
At no stage it must be hindered with confusion
As it is crystal to you and not based on any illusion

Impossible
If they had ever told me how sweet a kiss could be
I would have said impossible, impossible for me
And if they said Id find you beyond the rainbows end
I would have said impossible, impossible, my friend
To dream about what might have been
Is strange enough for me
But now it seems Im living in
A dream too beautiful to be
If they had said a moonbeam could calm a stormy sea
I would have said impossible but now at last I see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me
I would have said impossible but now at last I see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me

Information Overload
Many suffer from,
Information overload.
And nothing can be done,
By information overload.
Too many getting numb,
With information overload.
And not overcoming,
That information overload...
Can be,
Impossible to see achieved.
Simple conversation is...
Impossible to have it achieved.
Eye contact is...
Impossible to have it achieved.
An understanding is...
Impossible to have it achieved.
People sincere is...
Impossible to have it achieved!
Many suffer from,
Information overload.
And nothing can be done,
By information overload.
With many running away...
From wanting purpose.
And many running away...
From honesty!
And many running away...
From keeping focus.
And many running away...
From peace believed,
To wish it could be possible.
With many running away...
From wanting purpose.
And many running away...
From honesty!
And many running away...
From keeping focus.
And many,
Are running away...
From peace believed.
To wish it could be possible.
Eye contact is...
Impossible to have it achieved.
An understanding is...
Impossible to have it achieved.
People sincere is...
Impossible to have it achieved!
Because we're overloaded,
With too much information.
