Hiding Behind Pain
To wonder is to dream,
of all the possibilities,
just look at them all,
waiting for you.
But you just close your eyes,
without a care,
you don't even see,
who's standing there.
You say you have no hope,
no strength or truth,
but my dear,
it's all within you.
You have a choice,
to let the truth burn,
but instead you say,
'Maybe on my next turn.'
If you keep saying that,
then where will you go,
where will your life take you,
what will you know?
Life is full of chances,
that are for you to take,
no more hiding behind pain,
this life is yours to take.

Unspoken truth
The truth hidden in me
Is the thing nobody can see.
I am acting as a treasure keeper,
Hiding it to be discovered.
Truth has its own fate
Reality is known by it.
After knowing the truth,
You will know what it worth.
Things seen by eye and heard by ear
Will not be believed and not to be care.
This is the only truth unspoken.
It’s thee truth of life,
Hide it to survive.
If anybodies knows
Please don’t let it to flow.
If shared than gone,
All will run towards the throne.
Beauty of life end there
When unspoken truth of life is know here.

I Did It For You
A Life without taking chances
Is no kind of life at all
You've gotta stand up for something
Even if you might fall
Gotta take that road
Wherever it might go
No matter where
No matter what
I want you to know
I want you to know
I...
Tried to do my best
To do the best I could
I...
Had to give my all
It's what I had to do
And I'd...
Do it all again
And that's the honest truth
I...
I did it for you
Maybe I was crazy
I guess I was sometimes
And maybe it's hard to change things
But I had to know what's right
Everyday you've got to live
For what you believe
Please understand
I had no choice
It's what had to be
It's what had to be
I...
Tried to do my best
To do the best I could
I...
Had to give my all
It's what I had to do
And I'd...
Do it all again
And that's the honest truth
I...
I did it for you
Oh,
And I had no choice, no
It was something that I believed
A dream that was driving me
A fire inside of me
I...
Tried to do my best
To do the best I could
And I...
Had to give my all
It's what I had to do
I'd...
Do it all again
And that's the honest truth
I...
I did it for you
Oh
I...
I did it for you
I did it for you

Life............
LIFE IS A TRUTH,
A TRUTH OF A BEING,
A TRUTH WHICH SAYS THAT LIFE IS A DREAM.
LIFE………………………
IT IS LIKE AN ICE CREAM’S CREAM,
WHICH KEEPS ON MELTING TILL IT’S FINISHED.
LIFE………………………
LIFE IS TO LIVE,
AS WITHOUT IT WE CANT LIVE.
IT IS LIFE WHO CARES ABOUT US
IT IS ALWAYS PUNCTUAL LIKE THE SCHOOL BUS.
LIFE………………………
LIFE IS TWO SIDED,
BUT SOME PEOPLE THINK IT’S ONE SIDED.
YOU NEED LOVE TO LIVE,
AND YOU NEED TO LIVE FOR LOVE.
LIFE………………………
LIFE IS A TRUTH, A TRUTH OF A BEING,
A TRUTH WHICH SAYS THAT LIFE IS A DREAM.

Loving Pain
Can you love when your heart is so cold
Love on your lips and lies in your eyes unfold
You’ve convoluted the truth of what is real
How can you love when you don’t want to heal
Your pain is your lover now cant you see
Your pain you have discovered keeps you free
If you share your pain with me vulnerable you will be
To vulnerable to concede that love is something you need
Let me touch you let me kiss you gently in that spot
Where they cut and poisoned the wound still burning hot
It’s not a matter of trust or you would run to my arms
It’s a matter of keeping close the pain that causes you harm
You caress your pain it belongs only to you
You exchange the shame for strength and truth
The unknown your fear the pain is near and dear
Every tear it becomes clear year after countless tears
I don’t care if you lie to me I can read between the lines
I don’t care if you care or not I care I wont deny
And when you let me in to tend and mend your pain
Gently caressing, kissing your pain because I too live in vain

Sad But True (feat. Kid Rock)
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
they
they betray
I'm your only true friend now
they
they'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
you know it's sad but true
you
you're my mask
you're my cover, my shelter
you
you're my mask
you're the one who's blamed
do
do my work
do my dirty work, scapegoat
do
do my deeds
for you're the one who's shamed
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
you know it's sad but true
I'm your dream, I'm your eyes
I'm your pain, I'm your dream
I'm your eyes, I'm your pain
you know it's sad but true
hate
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
pay
pay the price
pay, for nothing's fair
hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you here
hey
I'm your life
and I no longer care
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
sad but true
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside open your eyes
I'm you
sad but true

Life Is Everywhere
Life is like a train,
but it is too much of pain.
Life has ups and downs,
which are totally round.
Life is like a pain,
each key has different sound.
Life is full of dreams,
as you want to deem.
Life is full of hope,
with the various scope.
Life is smile,
which last for while.
Life is like a dice,
which gives us many chance.
Life is like flower and sea,
which makes it melody.
Life is like a rainbow,
with full of different color show.
Life is so precious,
preserve it.
Life is a chance,
make use of it.
Life is lonely.
I'm life, You are life, We are life.

Fortuneteller
(blackmore/glover/turner/lord/paice) 5.45
Cast your eyes into the crystal
Deep inside the mystery
Is that a vision of a lonely man
I fear it looks a lot like me
Is that a man without a woman
Whose empty life is but a shell
Empty hearts will echo
Forever in the wishing well
Fortuneteller
Youve got to help me find an end to the nightmare
cause I cant stand this pain and the curse of time
Somewhere in your eyes Ill find the answer
Give me the truth Ive been looking for
Be my guiding light, Ill take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door
Some days come with a vengeance
Some days I feel so bad
The mirror holds no secrets
I lost the best thing that I had
Fortuneteller
Can you help me to see, is there an end to the sorrow
Or was this slow ride to nowhere always meant to be
Somewhere in your eyes Ill find the answer
Give me the truth Ive been looking for
Be my guiding light, Ill take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door
She always taking more than shed need
But we were both to blame somehow
In the heat of the moment I told her to leave
I guess I lost more than I found
But I remember ...

Full Of Life Questions
life is full of unexpected,
life is full of challenges,
life is full of bitterness,
life is full of strife,
life is full of contentious disputes,
life is full of revenge,
life is full of hatred,
life is full of mystery,
sometimes.....
life is full of sweetness,
life is full of joy,
life is full of happiness,
life is full of hope,
life is full of dreams,
you can have all this life when the soul is in body, and you will be able to feel everything because this is real life to creatures who call the''human''
Have you thought to life after death? ? ? ?
It's the doing that's hard.
It's not the knowing, it's the doing that's hard.
It's the first step, not the first yard.
It's having the strength to do the right thing.
That's what makes a man a pauper or king.
Whether you sit on a throne or easy chair,
How do you act on what you know is fair.
If you act on expedient or true,
This is the measure of you.
As water takes the easy course,
Where it meets less force.
Each of us are given a voice,
Each one is given a choice.
Standing may mean standing alone,
As an honest life we hone.
In no shadow will we stand,
Small will be the member of our band.
Come let us be found,
Where truth does abound.
Where truth is found in the hearts of men,
Where truth is strength and lies must bend.
Our captain Jesus leads us on,
As the battles wage He leads our song.
I may tire and weapons blunt,
He will always be out in front.
So take the first step to do what's right,
Doing it in the Saviours might.
He has promised to show the way,
It He that knows the content of each day.
The Honest Truth
the truth is i love you
the truth is i always dream of you at night
the truth is i do my best to hide it from you
the truth is the future is blank without you
the truth is i am hurting
the truth is i am scared
i am scared how i pretend in front of everyone
the truth is a cannot tell anyone of this
the truth is i cannot even tell you
then it starts to hurt even more
the truth is i'm scared to tell you
the truth is you might be scared to break her heart
the truth is i'm scared you might love me too
the truth is i am not happy
the truth is i don't feel the love i want
the truth is i want to be loved by you only
the truth is you're too blind to see
the truth is you might not believe me if i told you
the truth is you might be scared of it
the truth is the emotional distance kills me
the truth is being close to you makes it worse
should i tell you this truth?
would you believe this truth?
the truth....the truth....the truth...
i'm the only one who knows the
and this truth hurts
because the truth is i love you
the truth is i love you
the truth is i still love you....

Willing And Waiting
Willing & waiting
But it's all up to you, ohhh
The very first time I laid my eyes on you
I knew you were the one
Nothing can compare to all the times
We both had some fun
Sometimes I wanna cry
Cause boy I realize
I need you in my life
Don't think he understands
I want him for my man
Waiting for you
I-I-I'm willing & waiting
So in love with you (so in love with you)
Willing & waiting
Boy it's on you (it's on you)
Willing & waiting
Boy I need the truth (boy I need the truth)
Willing & waiting
So in love with you
Every time boy I take one look at you
I see the sun just shine
When we're alone never want the night to end
Cause you're the one I want
Sometimes I wanna cry
Cause boy I realize
I need you in my life
Don't think he understands
I want him for my man
Waiting for you
Willing & waiting
So in love with you (so in love with you)
Willing & waiting
Boy it's on you (on you)
Willing & waiting
Boy I need the truth (boy I need the truth)
Willing & waiting
So in love with you
You better answer (oh yes you better answer)
You better answer
Sometimes I wanna cry
Cause boy I realize
I need you in my life
Don't think he understands
I want him for my man
Waiting for you

Unwanted Child
my mom didn't want me
she throw me away
you were there
you raised me
you are more than a mother to me
i am who i am because of you
you are the reason why i am alive
i am able to stay on feet thanks for you
you are the only one i turn to
the only one i share my secret with
my jokes with
oh life is a pain
a pain to the heart
i am an unwanted child
oh life
life isn't fair
when you told me to go and start a life on my own
i lost the strength that i had
My heart burns like the sun burn the ground
oh life is a pain

The Partner
I will take you
To the place you want to bloom
Just give me time
To pass the line
Of me and you
I will give you
Everything you lost in blue
Just bring me clue
To make it true
In dawn hue
What we are crying for
Sometimes it’s hard to live this way
But we could find laughter
In the end of grueling day
What we are searching for
Sometimes we going out nowhere
But someday we’ll understand
The calling of this strange emotion
I will show you
The dream you never thought you could
Just hold my hand
And cross the land
Of thousand chances
I will hold you
Won’t let anything hurt you
Just say what you want
And please allow
Me to stay
What we are trying for
Sometimes it’s hard keeping the faith
But we could be stronger
Because hope would never leave
What we are waiting for
Sometimes to the point of patience
But if we still desire
Maybe it’s time to take a turn
I will love you
Like no one else would do
Just be what you are
Don’t change for someone
Who doesn’t care
I will need you
To be the light of my life
Just feel me now
In falling snow
And you’ll know
What we are hiding for
Sometimes it’s hard to face the truth
But we could be better
If we could look inside the heart
What we are fighting for
Sometimes it’s useless to struggle
But we never know how
The destiny decide to intervene

Don't deny
don't deny
that your gonna hurt me
tired of the lies
tired of the world
the lies have taken over you
living your life
dry your eyes
don't deny the way it sopposed to be
you'll soon bring me to my knees
not a bit of the truth
holding me down from the truth
hiding your other life
won't hide the truth forever
don't deny the truth

Love Song
The words I have to say
May well be simple but theyre true
Until you give your love
Theres nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No-one can offer you more
You know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen?
You say you find it hard
To lead the life that we once knew
But theres no other way
So now its really up to you
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must learn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
You say you find it hard
To lead the life that we once knew
But theres no other way
So now its really up to you
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must learn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

Just Once In My Life
I wish I could once in my life
Be a reason for your smile
I wish I could once in my life
Be yours for a while
I wish I could once in my life
Sparkle your eyes, be the gleam
I wish I could once in my life
Wake to not find you just a dream
I wish I could once in my life
Close my eyes to see with yours
I wish I could once in my life
Treasure something I could call ours
I wish I could once in my life
Squeeze you tight, as tenderly as I can
I wish I could once in my life
Walk forever, holding your hand
I wish I could once in my life
Run my fingers, through your flowing hair
I wish I could once in my life
Show you just once, how much do I care
I wish I could once in my life
Grant all of yours true
I wish I could just once in my life
Be able to say- 'I love you'
..............I love you....

The beauty within
The beauty of choice is you get to choose,
Wheather to live your life, or ruin it,
to live or die,
love or hate,
care or not care,
break, or heal,
steal, or buy,
help, or leave,
stay or go,
many possibilities.
Just hopefully you are not like a person I know,
He says he dont care but I know he does,
He says he hates the world but I know he loves it,
He says things he dont mean,
yet they hurt people around him,
He has seen many tears,
He has seen many years of pain,
He doesnt deserve anymore but that is merely his choice,
On wheather to love or to hurt,
to be nice or be crude,
To be happy or depressed all the time,
So its his choice on wheather people care anymore or not,
He is the owner of his life and no one can change his mind.
He can say he needs to hurt all he needs to,
He can hurt himself if he thinks that is what is right.
He can be the guy to ruin his life over nothing,
No one is going to help him if he doesnt let them.
If he dont listen no one will save him,
So he can either be saved or be left,
and frankly I think he is choosing death over life....
Sad isnt it? I tried helping but nothing worked.
So be it. He can do what he will do. Im done.
Im done with everything, every pain every hurt, every tear.
IM DONE. Bye.

Ill Be Waiting
Once I had a friend that I could count on
So I thought
Well so it seemed
But times of need are not enough
To prove your friendship to me now
Once I saw a face that I believed in
But a mask was all there was
So who wears the masks and who wears the faces
Well I guess Ill never know
But as I stand here alone in a room full of people
With nothing to say
Beer on their minds, and smoke in the air
Call them feiends but they just dont care
Friend for life
Such shallow words for brokrn minds
Show me a friend for life
Cause Ill be waiting for that day to arrive
When Ill feel alive
Ill be waiting for that day
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Cause when were together we just cant get enough
Or is it we just cant get what we want
Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Whos at fault in this game of yours and mine
Well I guess Ill never know
But as I sit here alone
Think of the girl who came softly inside me
The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair
Call her my own but is she really there?
Love for life
Such noble words for noble minds
Show me a love for life
Cause Ill be waiting for that day to arrive
When Ill feel alive
Ill be waiting for that day
Once I had a friend that I could count on
Times of need are not enough
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Once I saw a dream I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Now let me close my eyes
Because I dont want to see anymore
