You Have Taught Me To Make More Eye Contact
There is a side of me,
You are getting very close to see.
But I am so afraid that part of me,
You will not believe.
And you will come not to appreciate it.
Although the growing of it,
Is slowly being revealed.
'I've already seen that.
I didn't realize you could make it bigger.'
Well...
I am trying.
But you are making it more relaxed,
Whenever we are together.
'Relaxed?
Is that why it's so small?
You shouldn't keep it to yourself.
What is it that I should do...
To make it as big as possible? '
Don't worry.
You are teaching me more about communication.
And the bigger I feel that is growing between us.
'OH! ?
That's the part you're talking about?
Communication? '
YES!
That's the biggest part in any relationship!
Oh...
And where is your mind?
'Well,
I must admit...
You have taught me to make more eye contact.'

And I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure^
And always theyre amazed
When I show them round my house, to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven
And I will walk through the front door
Big time
Im on my way-Im making it

You're A Part Of Me
Make me feel the way you used to
when you loved me so.
Take me back to all those times
you hated to see me go.
Those are the memories I live for now.
'Can't get them out of my mind.
The more I try to forget them,
the more they're there I find.
Because you are a part of me,
you're the part that no one else can be.
For they could never make me
feel like this or make me miss
every little thing you are to me.
Let me hear your voice so low
whispering in my ear.
Tell me that your love's still there,
words I still can hear.
I remember every word you said.
I remember each sweet sound.
They never seem to leave me.
They've always stayed around.
Because you are a part of me,
you're the part that no one else can be.
For they could never make me
feel like this or make me miss
every little thing you are to me.

Dear Class
Graduation itself is quite epic
We have achieved the biggest milestone
We feel satisfied and happy
Relaxed in who we have become
Our relationships we have formed
These past 12 years will mold us
And forever change our character.
To our mothers we owe our love
For the endless support
To our fathers we owe our thanks
For the building of our projects
But next there is the big world
Where people work fast and hard
In a way we have not yet known
We have made a brilliant start
But that is all it is, a start
Next we need to open up
To new things and new people
We need to tackle bigger things
And make our contribution
We will need to be leaders
We will need to care for our family
We will need to be more intelligent
We will need to see the bigger picture
We will change the world
Of course we can do it
Of course we have the brains
But it is not a test
It is the human race.
Don't Confuse The Issue At Hand
This 'thing' ain't whirling around in space 'cause you on it.
You are part of it.
'You' are not 'it'.
But...
Wait a minute.
Let me re-think this.
hmmm
Let's see.
IF you 'are' part of it...
Wouldn't that make you all of it as well?
Or part of the whole?
Since the whole is part of you?
'I've been trying to tell you...
This is 'my' world.
It's yours too, ain't it? '
Well...
YEAH!
'Then what are you talking about when you say,
'IT ain't all about me?
Then 'who' and 'what' is 'this' all about? '
Don't confuse the issue at hand.
You always think you know so much.
And want everything your way!
'Didn't we just agree,
That this is 'my' world? '
Well...
Not 'all' of it!
'Then what part of my world don't you exist in?
What percentage of it is yours? '
Let's just dropp this.
We're not getting anywhere.
'I beg to differ.
Now as I was saying...
I'll drive my folks place,
And then we'll grab a bite to eat! '

Knock Me Down
never too soon to be through
being cool too much too soon
too much for me too much for you
you're gonna loose in time
every turn looking to burn
some never learn live and learn
stop your searching for a curse
before you end up in a hearse
don't be afraid to show your friends
that you hurt inside inside
pain's part of life don't hide behind your false pride
it's a lie your lie
don't slip away and don't forget
i'll give you more than you can get
it's so lonely when you don't even know
yourself come to me
if you see me getting mighty
if you see me getting high
knock me down
i'm not bigger than life
i'm tired of being untouchable
i'm not above the love
i'm part of you and you're part of me
why did you go away
too late to tell you how i feel
i want you back but i get real
can you hear my falling tears
making rain where you lay
finding what you're looking for
can end up being such a bore
i pray for you most every day
my love's with you now fly away
if you see me getting mighty
if you see me getting high
knock me down
i'm not bigger than life
it's so lonely when you don't even know yourself

When You Start To Talk About Nothing
the moment you start to talk about nothing
mind you, this nothing becomes something
and this something becomes something more
like a raindropp falling becoming a worm
the worm becoming a fish
the fish becoming a bird
the bird becoming a man
smaller ones taking bigger shapes
until it becomes a part of you
until it becomes you
until it becomes something bigger than you
all it takes is just a simple beginning
and you making meaning shaping bigger things
more than yourself
more than you can ever think of at the end

Small Victories!
small minds, small dreams,
small prayers, small God.
small thoughts, small answers,
to questions not small!
playing the race game,
the salvation game,
the mine and yours game,
the right and wrong game.
like cattle herded
unknowingly to slaughter.
every body a ticket,
to pay the fare.
bigger picture, bigger concepts,
bigger than i and me!
bigger risk, bigger world,
bigger choices, small victories.

Swim
This frame of mind
Young hollow man
Said all I've got to say
Done all I can
Won't even try
Won't even show
Don't tell me things
I don't want to know
Swim through me
Make me
More than whole
Come see what I mean
Make me feel secure
And in these days between
When I fall apart
I'd run away but you know
I'm not that smart
These strange ideas
I'll see them through
They've been a part of me
And I know that they're a part of you
And they swim through me
Make me
More than whole
Come see what I mean
Make me feel secure
Swim through me
Make me more than whole
Come see what I mean
Make me feel secure
Swim through me
Make me feel secure
Swim through me
Make me more than whole
Come see what I mean
Make me feel secure

Follow Me
(denver)
Its by far the hardest thing Ive ever done
To be so in love with you and so alone
Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say youll follow me
Its long been on my mind
You know its been a long long time
Ive tried to find a way that I could make you understand
The way I feel about you
And just how much I need you
To be there when I can talk to you
When theres no one else around
Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say youll follow me
You see, Id like to share my life with you
And show you things Ive seen
Places that Im going to
And places where Ive been
To have you there beside me, well never be alone
And all the time that youre with me
Then we will be at home
Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say youll follow me

Small Trees
I am little like the small trees,
These are at least bigger than flowering plants,
The richness of theirs is far superior to us.
Since they are richer and we are taller,
The magnificent colours shine as they do.
Greenness is our nature as trees,
Whilst they are always colourful
More than us.
The tree of bigness is a lethal organ,
One we sit by and watch growing older.
Then the small trees subjugate the other trees
Far smaller, but we are supposed to respect
The bigger trees, they are certainly not the biggest.
The best of us are longer in health,
Whilst I am little for I am a small tree.

Communication
(bramble, palmer, taylor, taylor)
Airmail, cassettes.. postcards, telex
Drop me a line, be my grapevine
Im always trying to reach you, cant get through
Our communication depends on me and you
Got to stay in touch even though were on the move
Keep your lines open, say, whats new
Exchange the facts, keep in contact
I keep on trying to call you but I cant get through
Our communication must get through
Communication.. dont hang up
Communication.. keep in touch
Communication.. dont put me on hold
Situation.. soul to soul
Send word, stay tuned, call me real soon
Every time I phone you, youre not home
Weve got to stay in touch on the telephone
I keep on trying to reach you
But I cant get through
Our communication must get through
Communication.. baby, talk to me
Communication.. information, please
Communication.. dont put me on hold
Situation.. soul to soul
Communication.. dont hang up
Communication.. keep in touch
Communication.. dont put me on hold
Situation.. soul to soul
Communication.. baby, talk to me
Communication.. information, please
Communication.. dont put me on hold
Situation.. soul to soul
Communication.. baby, dont hang up
Communication.. keep in touch
Communication.. dont put me on hold

Communiqu
We wanna get a statement for Jesus' sake
It's like a talking to a wall
He's incummunicado
No comment to make
He's saying nothing at all
Yeah but in the communique
You know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say
Say what he means
Maybe on a Monday he got something to say
Communication
Communique
Communique
Maybe he could talk about the tricks of the trade
Maybe he could talk about himself
Maybe he could talk about the money he made
Maybe he be saying something else
But in the communique you know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say
Say what he means
Maybe on a Monday he got something to say
Communication

Communique
Well now the rumours are flying
Speculation rife
They say that he's been trying someone else's wife
Somebody at the airport
Somebody on the phone
Say he's at the station and he's coming home alone
Then we get the story
The serious piece
And a photography a taken in the hall
And you don't have to worry with the previous release
Right now he's saying nothing at all
But in the communique you know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say
Say what he mean
Maybe on a Monday he'll have something to say

Some Part of You
I really love some part of you
But I don't like some part
I can compromise with some part
Some part is your own business
That is whole of you
One complex life set in human body
Sometimes I love you more than I hate you
Sometimes I hate you more than I love you
Sometimes you do something incredibly stupid
Sometimes I want to keep you in my box so no one see you
That is whole living you
Maybe loving you is a mistake
or I am the mistake you made
You can make me crazy, you can make me sad
But some part of me will feel lonely
When whole of you is not with me

Happily Ever After
A time, your, families would be
As great and big, our wish that be
Yours, not yours, ours would be
Grandsons, laughing with mirth, would be
Your growing a part
Would make our hearts part
Sparkling stars, would part
A place, time, and homeliness would part
A gain our sons and daughters, yours for love
Love not with lust, but care to love
Lust decay, it would be, care makes true love
Happily ever after, marriages flow with love.

You're Too Funny
I'll make you a deal!
How does that sound?
This is what I will and can do for you...
As you keep trying to find ways,
To compare your life to mine.
I will do the best I can,
Not to find you completely ridiculous!
Although what I can not do...
Is to sit with my lips sealed,
As I watch you make efforts
To prove your endeavors...
Will make a difference or make any sense.
I have to admit,
What you are doing is totally hilarious.
How come you didn't warn me?
You're too funny!
You ever try your hand at stand up comedy?
Go over that part again.
That part about how you and your family,
Spent years living in a cubicle of an apartment.
And for eights years,
You and your mother, father AND sister slept...
On one mattress?
That's precious.
That is just too precious.
