Learn to Fly
The entity stands
waitinig, watching
wonders if you know
what to do, how to fly
You learn to live your life
in humans relms of plight
You look upon the stage
and think yes thats the way
But then you begin to see
thats not all there is in life
you need to learn to fly
in the astrial realm up high
It helps you too see
the woven paths we weave
You start to fly, above the clouds
and duck and weave in flight
then with purpose and a smile
you touch those who need your light
Then you teach them how to fly
to follow you on wings
Once flying high you know no bounds
and suddenly your free
The entity just nods and smiles
as you reach out
to all with love
and learn to fly
For all eternity

when you float and does not know what to do

learn
when fed with what you cannot swallow
learn again
when the times get rough and you want to kill yourself
learn, learn, learn
you still have many things to learn
faces of life
bodies of life
learn, learn, learn everything
do not surrender
for in truth, you do not do what you only want
you will also do what you are told to do
no questions asked
or you will be left out
or you will be not a part of the picture
this life
learn, learn, learn, always learn
do not surrender
live, learn, live, learn
you will soon do all that others will tell you
learn, learn and learn again
and sooner you will have learned everything
and then do what you want to do
with firm conviction
you know now what is right
and that is what you will do,
now without even being told
you have become yourself
but still learn, learn, and learn again
because
you might be wrong,
try thinking some more, learn
relearn, learn, learn, learn, forevermore....

To Be Free Again
The world is a stage
Were you learn how to play
And depending on your talent
You can express how you feel
Tragedies’ and uncertainties
Are always roles we play?
Some from experience
Learn to be stronger every day
Then comes the Joy
Where we know no bounds
It exceeds us as we grow
As we leap and bound
Then crash we fall
No longer flying in joy
The pain of life
Makes you value your life
You mend the wounds
Those gash in your life
You look around
Thinking can I risk a new flight
Then with a smile you grin
You know you can win
And once more you climb
To be free again

I learn
I learn when I teach others
I learn when I listen
I learn when I read
I learn from children

I learn from nature
I learn how to breathe
I learn how to live
I learn how to love
I learn how to be a human being
I'm always learning ...

The Main Question
Am I to live as to live my life?
Am I to burn in the fire of fate?
Am I to learn what I know not?
Am I to seek the will to thrive?
Was I to speak? O' and against the odds?
Was I to fight with the valour in heart?
What global revenge? What mighty despair?
What fret is rising? What silence nods?
The enormous glories of freedom and me?
The challenging worries of life and me?
The rising discriminant of evil and me?
The illusional powers of fate and me?
The engraving dangers and will to fight?
Am I in my senses? Am I in my might?
Am I to be deceived in the scary night?
Or am I to learn the powers of light?
To weave and weave, the clothes of will,
Is this my duty? Is this the thrill?
Is this to be kind or the strength to kill?
Some moral values? A sugar mill?
I know yet not what I can do,
At least, I believe what enlightens too;
And at that moment of point and time,
I shall be the man of freedom, 'tis true.

Broken Angel
So small, yet still so proud
At night before he dreams he looks into the clouds
A high flyer's what I want to be
Seems they won't let me, says I'm too small
I don't feel small at all
Break my dreams, that's what they'll do
Well I'm going to run away and learn to fly like you
I'm going to go so high and swoop so low
You can't bring me down, going to be so proud
Little angel you got to learn to fly
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Little angel just look in my eyes
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Push and shove then climb aboard
This is the shuttle train to the top of the world
When you look around what do you see
These are all high flyers
But none of these high flyers look like me
What is that supposed to mean
What am I supposed to be
I pull my way up through this crowd
To find your body crushed on the ground
It's so obvious, why couldn't you see
That you can't go high flying without a pair of high-flyer wings
Little one's broken lying on the ground
Trying to get up 'till his last breath out
Wings are strewn everywhere, there's blood all around
'Cause even angel's die, but that light just fades
It's so sad, but he'd be so proud
Broken angel you've got to learn to fly
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Broken angel just look in my eyes
Get up and earn you wings tonight
Get up and earn your wings, earn your wings tonight.

You Learn
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

Weave In, Weave In, My Hardy Life
WEAVE in! weave in, my hardy life!
Weave yet a soldier strong and full, for great campaigns to come;
Weave in red blood! weave sinews in, like ropes! the senses, sight
weave in!
Weave lasting sure! weave day and night the weft, the warp, incessant
weave! tire not!
(We know not what the use, O life! nor know the aim, the end--nor
really aught we know;
But know the work, the need goes on, and shall go on--the death-
envelop'd march of peace as well as war goes on;)
For great campaigns of peace the same, the wiry threads to weave;
We know not why or what, yet weave, forever weave.

Great Hopes
We come to life with no great aim,
But step by step, our souls flame.
We crawl before we learn to walk.
We babble before we learn to talk.
We walk and make our first step,
With a lot of pain and a little help.
We make it then and start to run,
With too much love and too much fun.
But we are still with no great aims,
For life is still a bunch of games.
Then we grow up and pain begins,
And start to know of our sins.
We think we choose what we shall be,
But soon we change and start to see,
That we are made what we should be.
When we see that and stick to it,
We might succeed and make a hit.
Then we begin to set some goals,
Which will enrich our empty souls.
Yes hope springs eternal in the heart,
And brings us close to a head-start.
If goals are great, noble and high,
They will see light and soar so high.
So hitch your wagon to a star,
For greatness is just a step afar.

Why do we learn?
I learn to show that I know.
I learn so that I can teach well.
I learn so that I can write well.
To learn is to not follow.

Teach Me Tonight
TEACH ME TONIGHT (WITH LEVI STUBBS)
WRITERS SAMMY CAHN, GENE DePAUL
Did you say I've got a lot to learn?
Well, don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
1000 times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
Graduation's almost here, my love
Teach me tonight

Foreordained?
I suffer from a malady
And have done since I first drew breath
I know this for a certainty.
The end result will be my death.
Why should I let this worry me?
I know that I have died before.
My soul will live eternally.
Each time I die I'm born once more.
Each life I must learn something new.
Something I have not learned before.
One life insufficient to
add enough knowledge to my store.
I must return again to learn
Each life I have to start anew
To garner credits which I earn
By doing what I have to do.
I can't access my memories.
I start each life with a clean sheet.
And build up knowledge by degrees.
Like other men I must compete.
To earn my place and gain respect.
It is entirely up to me.
There is no way I can expect
To earn my merits easily.
The obstacles I overcome.
Will be recorded faithfully.
Although I score the minimum..
I still progress although slowly.
Life is a journey all must make.
Although there is no urgency.
About the speed or road we take.
Because we have eternity.
We live we die we are reborn.
Always to different circumstance.
To poverty or else high born.
Each life provides another chance.
To move on towards the light.
Where we will know as we are known.
And gain the power of wingless flight.
Because we are at last full grown.
The journey to maturity.
We undertake at our own pace.
We can choose slowly or swiftly.
Until we reach the trysting place.
We will return from whence we came.
And become part of the oversoul.
We'll have succeeded in our aim.
To merge must be our final goal.

Uz
In the land of Uz,
You were captured and released later!
For many were they who came to beg for you,
And you now have many lessons to learn.
Learn how to live harmoniously and,
Learn how to share in the name of love;
For marriage is like school,
And it needs patience to understand it.
Extroverts are anger-prone and,
Introverts are fear-prone:
But the rule of life is to learn always!
And i am from the land of Uz to teach you all.

On Catching the Summer Breeze
A deep blue sky with light wisps of clouds,
A sail raised high up on the mast,
The rush of water along port side,
Skimming across the lake in your sailboat.
A sail raised high to catch the wind,
The breeze dies down, then becalmed.
Rustling of the sail begins,
The wind returns again.
Learn to duck, and not rock the boat.
Be careful, sometimes you fall in.
Listen and learn from those who know
For they fell in too, so long ago.
Over, and over, and over again,
Until you have mastered the art of the sail.

Without Your Love
If I see you again
You might understand the way
That I feel
Though time after time I try
To explain the feeling was so real
And I want you to know time hasnt changed
When I was loving you then
The breeze of your lips
The warmth of your hands
One touch and Im flying again
I cant go on without you
Feeling this way about you
I just cant learn to live
Without your love
All I wanted from life
And learned about love was
Much better beside you
And I just cant forget
Learning to cry
The day I found out that
I had lost you
Though love is a game
And games always end
I just cant think of you
As a memory
All the days that you cared
All the love we once shared
Inside I cant seem to forget you
And cant go on without you
Feeling this way about you
I just cant learn to live
Without your love
I cant go on without you
Feeling this way about you
I just cant learn to live
Without your love
Though love is a game
And games always end
I just cant think of you
As a memory
All the days that you cared
All the love we once
Inside I cant seem to forget you
I cant go on without you
Feeling this way about you
I just cant learn to live
Without your love
I cant go on without you
Feeling this way about you
I just cant learn to live
Without your love

Cup-Shower
In this life,
There is always a teacher to teach yxou if you want to learn;
But, you need a 'Cup-Shower' and a candlelight to clean up your mind.
In this life,
There is always a teacher to teach you if only if you are ready to learn;
For, it takes a step forward to reach out to the heart of someone!
And, my mind is waiting for you.
The food prepared in the morning is about to be eaten,
And there is always a student when, a teacher is ready to teach;
So, be abased to my sweet muse when you are touched!
For, my sweet love is zooming around you.
Accomplishments,
With the calmness of a muse so sweet that touches you!
For, there is always a teacher if you want to learn;
But, to win a continental laurel means a lot,
However, the truth of life is always around you! !
And, you don't need these forbidding mountains to teach you.

What Have We Got To Learn From Nature
What have we got to learn from Nature the more arrogant and ignorant do say
But from the life forms that live all around us we learn something new every day
'Tis not out of love or of passion that the songbird does bother to sing
But to defend his Nesting borders with him song is a territorial thing.
So little we know about Nature of her so much to learn and know
And the more that we do learn of her the more our awe of her does grow
The migratory birds from their Wintering grounds in Spring do fly home for to breed
The map of the World in their small brains a mystery of Nature indeed.
I believe us Humans too are Nature's life forms though many may say that is wrong
That only to Animists and Atheists such thinking could only belong
But everyone's entitled to their opinion and most believe their opinion to be right
And opinions are just that opinions to argue about not to fight.
Yet what have we got to learn from Nature from that point let us not stray
From her something new we can learn every day
And no greater teacher than her 'twould seem fair to say
Though her secrets from us she keeps hidden away.

Live And Learn
[INTRO:]
(Live and learn)
Don't be afraid to
Do what you must do
(Live and learn)
[1a:]
You can never undo
Whatever's been done
You're so afraid
That true love may never come
Maybe tomorrow will bring
Happiness in
And in a little while
You could learn to smile
Again, oh, oh
But never give up
That's a big mistake
Be true to your heart
And even if it breaks
You can still
[1b:]
Love another day
Find another way
Take a little time
And you could find
That one day your heart
Will have a home
[CHORUS:]
Live and learn
When the morning comes
You'll see things in a different light
Give a little time
Don't be afraid to
Do what you must do
It's all up to you
To live and learn
[2:]
What's done is done
Past is past
You can look around
But you can never go back, keep on
Living your life
Living it right
Take a little time
And you could find
That one day your heart
Will have a home
[CHORUS:]
To live and learn
(Don't be afraid to
Do what you must do
It's all up to you)
Don't be afraid to
Do what you must do
It's all up to you
(Don't be afraid to
Do what you must do
It's all up to you)
To live and learn

[CHORUS:]

Widow McFarlane
I was the Widow McFarlane,
Weaver of carpets for all the village.
And I pity you still at the loom of life,
You who are singing to the shuttle
And lovingly watching the work of your hands,
If you reach the day of hate, of terrible truth.
For the cloth of life is woven, you know,
To a pattern hidden under the loom i
A pattern you never see!
And you weave high-hearted, singing, singing,
You guard the threads of love and friendship
For noble figures in gold and purple.
And long after other eyes can see
You have woven a moon-white strip of cloth,
You laugh in your strength, for Hope o'erlays it
With shapes of love and beauty.
The loom stops short! The pattern's out!
You're alone in the room! You have woven a shroud!
And hate of it lays you in it!

The will to chase airplanes
Every day the little boy
With the golden sprint in
His dust covered feet chases
The silhouette of the same airplane
With great messianic zeal that it hurts
And his hands are flying as if he is
The seasoned and proud pilot himself
Don't worry little one
You see today your mother
Cries with the shame of watching
You resorting to the half bricks
That you improvise into toy airplanes
First you must learn the hard
Lessons of life in the raw
Before you graduate from the university
Of the heartlessness of chafing under
The ropes of adversity
You must earn your stripes from
Faculty of the hard knocks of suffering
And only then will you soar
With the eagle and touch the sky
And paint the clouds bright blue
And the ladies with the double
Barrel surnames will suddenly love
To learn to tilt to pronounce your
Clicks filled name properly
By then you will be wearing the shoes
With the gleaming diamonds in them
And your pride will be restored as
You climb into the cockpit and you say
A little prayer for your mum
Who had to absorb the crunching
Blows of her terrible suffering as she
Made sacrifice after sacrifice to deny
Poverty the chance to bloat your way
To the lifestyle of comfort surrounded
By unheard of luxury and glamor
Who stayed with you in the years of
The mad chasing of the airplanes and you
Will smile conspiratorially to your soul
And you will cry softly away from the
Glare of the public as you savor
The miracle of the new you but
You will not forget
The hell of the troubles you had
To bob and weave your way through on your
It was never going to be easy way
To fame and fortune
