No Loose Change to Pinch or Lend
Some people come from a run of funds.
To know no end of them to come.
But those who struggle everyday,
Know a price they have to pay.
For them that seems to stay that way.
Some people come from a run of funds.
To know no end of them comes.
But those who struggle everyday,
Know a price they have to pay.
No loose change to pinch or lend.
No foolishness comes to spend...
On items to show all their friends.
No loose change to pinch or lend.
No foolishness comes to spend...
On items to show all their friends.
Some people come from a run of funds.
To know no end of them to come.
But those who struggle everyday,
Know a price they have to pay.
For them that seems to stay that way.
No loose change to pinch or lend.
No foolishness comes to spend...
On items to show all their friends.
No loose change to pinch or lend.
Their pockets have more lint than cents in them.

Is It Time
Is it time...
To pay attention to a ticking clock.
Is it time...
Is it,
To stop and listen.
To what's been missing.
Is it time...
To open a door that locks.
Is it time...
To come out of a box.
Is it time...
For intervention.
With a pinch!
'OW.'
Is it time...
To fix what's missing.
Is it time...
To hear that ticking,
Is it time...
To stop all foolishness,
And distance from this quick.
Or is there time,
To fix what's missing.
Is it time...
To stop all foolishness,
And distance from it quick.
'Ow.'
Just want to give a little pinch,
To make sure you feel the intent.
'Ow.'
Just want to give a little pinch,
To make sure you feel the intent.
'Ow.'
Just want to give a little pinch...
To make sure you are there,
And aware...
Of the time!
Just want to give a little pinch,
To make sure you feel the intent.
'Ow.'
Just want to give a little pinch...
To make sure you are there,
And aware...
Of the time!
'Is it time? '
What do you think?
Nevermind.

Change! Change! Change!
change! change! change!
everybody talkin' about change.
change your look,
change your luck,
change your politics,
change your religion...
change the country,
change the world....
change the day!
change your underwear!
loose change, pocket change,
winds of change, march for change....
but all real change begins within...
let's work on that,
and then everything else
will change in turn!

To Lend
To Lend
Don’t you know
People need people
Amen
To lend an ear,
To listen, to hear
About what’s special and dear
Or full of fear
People need people
Amen
With a message to send
People need to lend a hand
To help us all accomplish God’s plan
Sharing life with someone special
Walking hand in hand
On the beach in the sand
People need people
Amen
To lend themselves as a friend
To another as a sister or brother
A father
A mother
To lend
Don’t you know
People need people
Amen

Pinch
i look at my face wrinkles are being drawn like a plow making furroughs
on the ricefield,
wrinkles, i am getting wrinkles,
i look at my arms and i touch it, they are loose now, like some clothes
hanging loosely in my body, emaciated by lack of nutrition,
i look at my hear, i open it like a pettry cash box, i see some scars
and some loose coins for change, i like to break it open and leave
it that way, i am saddened by this
emptiness, this pain,
i stand now in the mirror with a picture on hand of my youth
i look many times finding how
time drenched me with old age, my hands beginning to tremble my
mind forgetting more and more of those memories of my youth,
i refresh myself, i get this clip and pinch myself, i remember
i am still alive, and that is luck enough, a friend of mine just died today,
cardian arrest,
and i am trying to do some little thinking, what if i will be next?
i am finite, i pinch myself some more, some more, some more.....
till i turn blue, till i bleed, who cares?

Moment to Shine (Know My Name)
The pattern is there, it is striped like a candy cane
It is there because of you,
The scars are true, as true as the pain.
My mind is racing away from you,
You are the one that caused my agony, my sorrow,
The days are always the same never new.
The days always bring me to your feet,
I am your servant, your toy,
I do what you say and hide the pain, I hide in defeat.
You treat me like I am there for you to use,
All you do is tell me what you think, never letting me tell you
I only sit and listen as you ramble on, and i am used.
I want to rise above, but I cant loose you,
If i loose you i loose all my friends,
I'd be alone, completely, utterly, alone, never being able to start new.
So I sit and I listen, I sit in pain,
All i can think of is not loosing you, but if i don't then i'll loose myself.
I try to tell you, I try to show you, but you just call me insane.
I hope you'll notice my anguish, my sorrow,
Until then I will hide in your shadow, never seeing light,
I will sit and dread the coming of tomorrow.
Every day is the same, always the same,
You act like you care but then you tear me down, you shove me out of the way
So you can have all the light, all the eyes on you, it'll always be the same.
Like the lines on the candy cane every day is the same,
The pattern is always there, it shall not change, shall not fade,
Forsaken is my name I am abandoned, I am an outcast. Know my name
I sit in your shadow, I sit and wait,
For a sign, for a change, For the right moment
To show you who I am, to show you my meaning,
My moment to shine!
(the words of this are true, i await that moment.)

Turn It Loose
Tom johnston
People all around me
Everywhere I go
I thought I had a grip on things
Now I just dont know
People turn their backs on me
My feet are movin slow
I done time, I been shined
Aint gonna fight no more
Im gonna make it
Im gonna try
Aint no use to sit and cry
Turn it loose; dont hold back
Got to set your spirit free
Turn it loose; listen to me, children
Its the best kind of remedy
Turn it loose; you got the power
Thats the way its got to be
Turn it loose; get on board
Its just for people like you and me
Some friends, they hide it
Keep it deep inside
For the boy its a struggle
Dont you know its a lie
You got to be the real thing
It flows with the tide
You are the person
With the answer inside
Im gonna make it
Im gonna try
Aint no use to hang your head and cry
Turn it loose; dont hold back
Got to set your spirit free
Turn it loose; listen to me, children
Its the best kind of remedy
Turn it loose; you got the power
Thats the way its got to be
Turn it loose; get on board
Its just for people like you and me

I Wish It Would Change
I wish it would change.
The urge to cut my self.
I wish it would change.
This pain that is felt.
I wish it would change.
So i write it all down.
I wish it would change.
Wearing my blank lifeless frown.
I wish it would change.
Crying everyday.
I wish it would change.
Not having any thing to say.
I wish it would change.
So I don't have to write poems.
I wish it would change.
And wish everbody knew them.
I wish it would change.
I'm just trying to fight it.
I wish it would change.
Everyday trying to hide it.
I wish it would change.
My sorrow, My pain.
I wish it would change.
It's getting worst everday.

Fairy Revels
Pinch him, pinch him, black and blue,
Saucy mortals must not view
What the queen of stars is doing,
Nor pry into our fairy wooing.
Pinch him blue-
And pinch him black-
Let him not lack
Sharp nails to pinch him blue and red,
Till sleep has rocked his addlehead.
For the trespass he hath done,
Spots o'er all his flesh shall run.
Kiss Endymion, kiss his eyes,
Then to our midnight heidegye
The best of friends
The best of friends,
Can change a frown,
Into a smile,
when you feel down.
The best of friends,
Will understand,
Your little trials,
And lend a hand.
The best of friends,
Will always share,
Your secret dreams,
Because they care.
The best of friends,
Worth more than gold,
Give all the love,
A heart can hold.

Hello It's Me
Hello, it's me,
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
Something's here that doesn't last too long.
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine.
Seeing you,seeing anyone as much as I do you,
I take for granted that you're always there,
I take for granted that you just don't care.
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through,baby.
It's important to me
that you know you are free
Cause I never want to make you change for me, babe (don't change, don't change)
No, I wouldn't change you, change you for the world (don't change, don't change)
No, don't change, girl (don't change, don't change)
Stay as sweet as you are (don't change, don't change)
But one thing I want you to do is,
Think of me, think of me, yeah
You know I'd be with you if I could,
Come around and see you once in a while,
If you ever need a reason to smile,
I'd spend the night if you think I should.
It's important to me
that you know you are free
Cause I never want to make you change for me
And I'll come around and see you once in a while,
If you ever need a reason to smile,
I'd spend the night if you think I should.
Just don't change, girl (don't change, don't change)

The Sweetest Songs Of Peace
the angels have come this early morning
in the little room
in this little house
in this little island
in my little time
now they are singing the sweetest songs of peace
while i am sleeping
i must be dreaming
pinch me, pinch me
the islands line themselves like boats
like men and women in an array
in the order of things
lining up in this system
they are listening
i must be dreaming
pinch me! pinch me!
wake me! wake me up!
i must be dreaming

Pity Makes Those Visits
Everyday you have to pray,
If you want a life to be lived right.
Everyday.
And everyday you have to do it in a way,
To make those loose ends tight.
Without a struggle or fight.
You want a life that's easy pleasing.
Without discipline or meaning.
Without work or sweat involved.
With your troubles quickly solved.
You wish your dreams to come alive.
While you sit and analyze...
Why others seem to have such luck!
And all you have is whining time.
With pity making visits in your mind.
That's all you want,
There to fine.
Everyday you have to pray,
If you want a life to be lived right.
Everyday.
And everyday you have to do it in a way,
To make those loose ends tight.
Without a struggle or fight.
But pity makes those visits in your mind.
All the time.
And all you wish to do is sit...
And analyze.
Why you ain't gotta dime.
And pity makes those visits in your mind.
All the time.
And all you wish to do is sit...
And analyze.
With thin dimes on your mind!
As pity makes those visits in your mind.
Without a thin dime to find!
As pity makes those visits...
You don't want to quit,
In your mind.
Without a thin dime to find!
Pity makes those visits you don't want to quit,
Sitting in your mind!
All the time!

I miss my twin sister
My twin sister...
Many people said like that to us
Even, we are not coming from the same dad and mom
But our figure are almost the same
I remember when the time she visit me and my husband
My tears came up from my eyes
I don't know why i did that
Maybe because i need her to share my feeling
I need her to hear my story
You lend me everything
You lend me your books
You lend me your Bible
You lend me your dress
You give many precious gifts to me
You lend me your husband to take me
You lend me your husband to hear my sharing
I am sorry my sister, I know i hurt you
But, i never want to replace your place
He is your King
and You are his Queen
No one can't doubt me for that
Please, smile for me
You look so pretty with that dress
He is so lucky to have you
Pray for me.... so i can live my life with smile
Who Can Care About Friends?
Who really care about friends?
People care about their friends, some can change difficulty into a smile.
Some people can Understand you better than other. People will never gonna share your secret to other,
because they care about you. You are that kind of a jewel to some people,
people can give you all their love to hold.
People always near, when you need them, all you have to do is just call them.
People are always here to help you.
It doesn't matter what struggle you have, It doesn't matter where they are, it doesn't matter when,
when you need them just call them, for me, I was born just to be friends with people and other.
Just think that people are in your universe of obligation and you too.

Cool It Now
Everybodys saying, seeing things
Without knowing that life brings a change
And theyve been checking all the time
My friends say Im love sick cause i...
All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(got to see what love is all about)
And I wont be the same until she is mine
And my friends keep telling me to
You got to cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Youre gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
Youre gonna fall in love
Everyday I walk her home from school
And she tells me how she really feels
And theres no doubt in my mind
That this girl is one of a kind
Cause all I keep thinking about is her in my arms
And I wont feel the same until she is mine
You got to cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Youre gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
Youre gonna fall in love
All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(got to see what love is all about)
And Ill never be the same until you are mine
And my friends keep telling me..
When ya got a girl who takes her time
You must slow the pace you cant mess with her mind
If she feels the same shell letcha know
Just prepare yourself or be ready to go
And I hope this message stays in your mind
Cause you almost lost a girl who is right on time
Theres one more thing that ya got to know
Just cool it down and stay in control
You got to cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Youre gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
Youre gonna fall in love
All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(got to see what love is all about)
And Ill never be the same until you are mine
And my friends keep telling me..
You got to cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Youre gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
Youre gonna fall in love
Why you all coming down on me
Tryin to tell me how my life is supposed to be
I know youre only trying to help me out
Tryin to show me what life is really about
But this time Im gonna make it on my own
So why dontcha fellaz just leave me alone
Ronnie, bobby, ricky and mike
If I love the girl who cares who you like
Cool it now
Cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Gonna lose control
Cool it now
Slow it down

Everyday Faces
Everyday faces that say hello
Everyday faces that come and go
Everyday faces that stay the same
Everyday day after day
There was a day
When all everything changed
People all came
Stood in the rain
They ain't got a cent (they not the same)
Policeman walked in
The statues all waiting (???)
They wanted a change
Everyday face
Was a time all we could do was try
Was a time when we could say goodbye
Now you find you never do a thing (the same)
Does today feel the same way
Cos there was a day
When all had been changed
People all came
Danced in the rain
They ain't got a cent
And a policeman walked in
The statues all wait (??)
All the same
Everyday face
There was a day
When everything changed
The people all came
Danced in the rain
They're in pain
A policeman walked in
All the statues are waiting
They wanted a change
From an everyday face
Now you're looking at me
Like I'm so passe
I'm a disgrace
Just an everyday face
