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
I don't play for money, but I do for love

If fortune favors you do not be elated; if she frowns do not despond.
Fortune favors the bold, but abandons the timid.
Fortune pays you sometimes for the intensity of her favors by the shortness of their duration. She soon tires of carrying any one long on her shoulders.

Friendless. Having no favors to bestow. Destitute of fortune. Addicted to utterance of truth and common sense.

Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.
This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere. Fortune sells her wares; she never gives them. In some form or other, we pay for her favors; or we go empty away.

Cry Of A Heart
Fragments of my fractured heart falling apart at the seams;
i crawl towards the fading light,
in my mind logically interweaved thoughts of my parents lost identity
a false believe they held from the craddle to the grave
i uncover stories they never heard
for fortune favors only the brave
i've seen better heads on nickel beers!
she told me what i do is a leap in the dark,
but i can't rear a false identity
within my heart resides pain big around as a molasses barrel
in my mind thoughts and ideas quarrel
but accepting that this is who i am will be a theory for the lost

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

Brave Little Soldier
Im a brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And I must carry on
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Im a brave little soldier
I must fight, I must win
Im a brave little soldier
Through hell and back again
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum, pum, pum
Ye though I am marching through the valley filled with fear
My steps are sure and sturdy and my aim is straight and clear
The enemy is stalking me just waiting for the kill
Like david slewed galiath
I will claim this battle field
Im a brave little soldier
I must do what I can
Im a brave little soldier
And I must take a stand
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Marching, marching onward
Searching out the light of truth
I did not start the war
But its a battle I cant lose
Faith will be my armor
And love my sword and shield
I must defeat the enemy
I will, I will, I will
A brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And I must carry on
A brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Brave, little soldier

Fame And Fortune
Sittin' in the back of a limousine, feelin' just like a king
All the girls come runnin' to you, you're the latest thing
Sittin' up there at the top of the charts, lookin' like Mr. Cool
You take all the money, steal their hearts, they'll come runnin' to you
Your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
All your fame and your fortune, you better take a look around
With your fame and your fortune, careful who you talk to
Or the fame and your fortune, watch it all tumble down, yeah, oh listen now
Now you're lookin' for inspiration, somethin' to say
When you find that it don't come easy, you find them running away
You had it all in the palm of your hand, and let it slip away
You made it big, ooh so big, and then you threw it all away
All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Fame and your fortune, hey you better take another look
At your fame and your fortune, it set you up, then it caught you
Fame and your fortune, surely gonna let you down, hey tell me now
(Solo)
All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Take your fame and your fortune, wait and take a look around
For your fame and your fortune, who do you talk to
'Bout your fame and your fortune, as it all comes tumbling down
Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, yes all come tumbling down
Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, all comes tumbling down...

I believe that no man who holds a leader's position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone.

You Alone
Today is the day for destiny as decided by almighty?
Certainly feel elated and feel happy
As it won’t come again and again
Have it as much as you can enjoy and can
Come and seize it with force
So there won't be any more remorse
Think not what you missed or failed
But think what you earnestly tried and availed
You give priority for you aim
Decide where you want to be firmly placed and clai
It may matter most as you draw near
You may get everything without any fear
You have been blessed or afforded
No more worries or tension is loaded
You are give free choice to choose
Think over it and better not to loose
Learn the secrets of heavenly design
It may force you to concede or resign
Yet it is your hay day as you asked
Go for it boldly before they are whisked
Fortune favors the brave
You may have everything you craved
It may change course of your direction
You will be very much happy after your action
There will be all smiles
As you surge ahead and walk for while
Success will be your guiding stone
All praise for you and you alone
