In Or Out
My life was okay
It was not perfect
But it was okay
Then I met you
Ever since with you
My life as been a roller coaster
You have my emotiuons spinning out of control
You bring me up so high
Then next thing I know you knock me down so low
I want to think that all you could do is bring me up
But ytou couldnt
And because of that I fell
You knocked me down so low
It is hard for me to pick myself up
I know I have done the same too you
I know I have
I regret every second that passes.
Now that we are... Well I dont know what we are
But we need to figure this out
Im not okay
I am not great
I do not know if we should call it quits
And never talk or see eachother again
Because I do not know what hurts more
Not having you in my life or having you in my life

Iceberg-Ive fallen in love with an
Iceberg-its only the tip of the
Iceberg-Ive heard that its cool
I got class, I got style
But once in a while out on the town
I must go
Youd better wash out your zone
Watch out you stone bone headed woman
Watch out you bone headed man
Iceberg-its freezin over second avenue
Theres not a thing that you can
Iceberg-its comin over second avenue
Youd better believe theres nothin
You can do about it
I was an orphan and I couldnt help it
Ive been in and out of trouble
Ever since they left me in a basket
On the freeway
Its me thats been doggin your shadow
Its me thats been a shadowin your dog
You got me hung up lock and stock and barrel
Ill always be behind you in the fog
So you better not annoy me
Or Ill do somethin that I might regret
Youd better not annoy me or Ill do
Somethin that you wont forget in a hurry
And I might be back for some sloppy seconds
Youve heard me heavy breathing on the telephone
My word they say that Im belongin
In a home for crazy people
But you know I dont belong there
I was an orphan and I couldnt help it
Id been in and out of trouble
Ever since they left me
In a basket on the freeway
Lie lie lie etc
Die die die etc
Hooray hooray ha ha ha
Hooray ha ha ha
Get down get down get down get down
Theres really not a lot that you can do
Lay down lay down lay down lay down
Theres really not a lot that you can do
Theres really not a lot that you can do
And I might be back for sloppy seconds

Our Shelter Is The Purpose Of Our Creation
IT is the intention to gain
that makes one creative,
and so when the gain is taken
one sulks back to his
stagnant self,
the intention to be happy
is one thing too,
as though the purpose of having this life is simply
happiness,
that when one is sad, life becomes
meaningless
a slave of feeling, a roller coaster of emotion
one is a rider,
when the ride is over, what then is next?
the roller coaster stops
one gets out from his seat and bind
you take a walk, remembering the highs and lows
and this soon shall stop
there is no roller coaster in the house where we live
will there be no excitement anymore
when we feel nothing
shall life and dreams cease too?
we are not our creators
we are created for a purpose
and this we must discover
and there we shall take shelter.

Low Life
Fatal fascination for the seedy part of town
Walk down the street and your head spins round
Dont be seen alone without your friends at night
Take a gun or a knife to the low life
Dont have to be born into this society
Pay for love but the hate comes free
Bring enough money for the rest of your life
Dont bring your wife to the low life
Bringing us there to the degredation
Always keep your back to the wall
No rewards for your infatuation
Low life
No life at all
Yeah, low life, low life
In here to long to be afraid anymore
You cant reach the bed so you sleep on the floor
You get so stoned you think you could fly
But you wont get high on the low life
Low life, low life
Low life, low life
Low life, low life
Low life, low life

Like an adventure
as we grow
life takes us to the battle field
where we have to fight in order to survive
life is all about war
dealing with heart break
with sorrow and pain
as we goes through life '
the harder it will get
when i open my eyes
is when i begin to see
how hard it is to get what we wanted
life never goes our way
that's the sadden of me
life is like a roller coaster
let; s enjoy the ride
life is like an adventure
that will; never come to an end
you die it goes along without you
you alive it goes with you
i life there's no option
you bleed to carry on
again
life is like a roller coaster
let's enjoy the ride
life is like a journey
everyday we learn a new story
everyday we face a new challenge
life is like a adventure
it takes us anywhere
it blows us anywhere and whenever
sometimes life burn us
where we have to turn to ashes
let's all accept it and enjoyed the journey
like an adventure

Sometimes
I'm dreaming about tomorrow
I'm thinking of yesterday
I consume myself in sorrow
This moment in time is what I betray
I am searching for the answers
And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
'Cause I dont know which way to go
And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
'Cause my life is spinning out of control
I never know what you want
I never know what you need
It was different from the start
When you cut me in two
I never thought I would bleed
I am searching for the answers
And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
'Cause I dont know which way to go
And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
'Cause my life is spinning out of control
I will go this alone
I don't need nobody's help
I've gotta do this myself
Alone...alone...alone...alone...
And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
'Cause I dont know which way to go
And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
'Cause my life is spinning out of control

Life Has Its Way....
Life is like the waves it has its ups and downs
Life is like a roller coaster it has its twists and turns
Life is like a sport it just depends on what we play
Life is like a game of poker it just depends on what we are dealt
Life can be given life can be taken
Life can be a curse life can be a blessing
Life can be a pain life can be in sain
Life has its ways life has its days
Life has its love life has its hate
Life has its gentler touch but it has its harder punch
Life brings you your knees when you feel in need
Life brings you a lot of things
but in the end it depends on what we do!

Curious Thing
There was this guy, he was down on his luck
He was truly povertys child
Well, he had no home and he had no car
And he wore a weary smile
Moved out to l.a., knocked around for awhile
But he was getting nowhere
Then he did this movie and it did really well
Now hes a millionaire
See, life is a curious thing
Life, ooh life is a curious thing
I know a man who could paint the town red
Had a college degree in fun
till the doorbell rang and a long lost flame said
This little boy is your son
Gave him a suitcase and a bear
Left em in a cloud of dust
Now hes checking out schools and driving carpools
Learning to adjust
He says life is a curious thing
Life, ooh life is a curious thing
Well, I know that it can be demanding
I know that it can be unkind
I dont really understand it
But lord sure knows I try
Life is a curious thing
Life, ooh life is a curious thing
Let me tell you bout a kid I knew
A pudgy girl back in school
She had greasy hair and geeky glasses
Object of ridicule
The other day in the check out line
They were ringing up my rice and beans
There she was, a pretty little face
On the cover of a magazine
And I said life is a curious thing
Life, ooh life is a curious thing
(chorus)
Just goes to show that you never know
Just what tomorrow may bring
But Ill tell you this that what it is
Is seldom what it seems
cause life is a curious thing
Life, ooh life is a curious thing. . .

Hard Times Comes Easy
R.sambora
Its amazing
We go through changes
When times get crazy
Its up and down,its hot and cold
These complications
Just keep on coming
These aint no running
When it comes to life thats how it goes
round and round we go
Sometimes it feels like
Were on a roller coaster ride
Baby dont you know
It could eat up
If you try and keep it all inside
Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hangin on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts us baby
Theres gonna be thunder
Theres gonna be rain
Theres gonna be those times
We both get caught up in the pain
The realization
Keeps sinkin in
The way you make it
Is learn to take it on the chin
round and round we go
Its just another day
With trouble knockin at your door
Baby dont you know
We can work it out
cause we always seem to find a cure
Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hangin on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts us baby
round and round we go
Sometimes it feels like
Were on a roller coaster ride
Baby dont you know
Well keep holdin on
Through the changes that we feel inside
Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hangin on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Hard times come easy babe

Dont Let It Bring You Down
Though some things in life are hard to bear
Dont let it bring you down
Should the sand of time run out on you
Dont let it bring you down
Dont go down - dont go underground
Things seem strange, but they change
How they change
Up and down your carousel will go
Dont let it bring you down
Dont go down - dont get out of town
Get to know how it goes, how it goes
When the price you have to pay is high
Dont let it bring you down

Bring Him Back
(pomus / shuman)
Oh, bring him back
If hes too much for you
And you dont know just what to do
Just send him right on back to me
cause Im still the fool I used to be
If its only just for a day
Ill take him back any old kinda way
I aint fooling anymore
Been crying since he walked out the door
Dont know what to do
Dont know where to go
You know I love him so
You know so wont you
(bring him back), mmm
(bring him back)
You know you gotta bring him back
(bring him back), ooh, yeah

Just bring him back to me

Oh, bring him back to me
My life is full of misery
Let me play with the boy
Let me be his little toy
Oh, bring him back to me
My life is full of misery
You know you gotta bring him back
Ah, ha, youve gotta bring him back

Oh, my life is full of misery

Who Hurts Whom?
Hurt, is that lesson of life,
Perfect pool of Imperfects,
A kid may get hurt
Or may hurt its parents too
its parents may hurt
Or may hurt their kid too,
A brother may get hurt,
or he may hurt brothers and sisters too,
Sister gets hurt
Or she may hurt her brothers and sisters too,
Mother gets hurt or she my may hurt father too.
Father may get hurt Or may hurt mother too,
A friend gets hurt
Or may hurt his friend too!
A lover get hurts, or may hurt one's lover too,
Teacher may gets hurt
Or may hurt student too
Student gets hurt Or he may hurt his teacher too,
Life is a pool of Imperfects
And only Imperfects can perfect life,
And life is that greatest class room,
Where the greatest and perfect teacher teaches perfect lessons,
But life when teaches, we just close the chapter,
'saying it is our fate! '
Is it true that one has to hurt others to make his living?
Living a life, and make a Living aren't the differ?
People are determined to build life than live a life,
Where one may hurt others,
This the story of Buddha asking kisa Gouthami ' I will save your child, but bring handful of mustard from a home where death not entered! '
This is the story,
'I will heal your hurts, if you can bring some dust of a man's feet, whoever neither got hurt nor hurt others! '
Life a that teaches and hurt is that lesson,
Which shows the one who hurts is Imperfect than who gets hurt,
Both are still imperfect,
The one got hurt is more imperfect,
And he is the one who hurts himself,
by his desires and expectations,
He is the one who gives chance to others to hurt,
With his misunderstandings!
Hurt is the result of our own imperfection say those have seen and understood life in perfect!
God is that only perfect and he is out of life cycle,
And He can only be healer of all hurts!
Perfection can make us hurt free, but imperfection is the life,
Those who ant life let them adjust themself with imperfection of own first and with that of others,
What you say, is it perfect or imperfect? You please, decide and tell me!

Life After Death

Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death?
Do you believe? oh yeah!
Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death?
Do you believe? oh yeah!
Do you stop take another roller coaster ride
Do I beg, steal, cheat or lie? oh my is there life after death?
Oh I wish Id never smoked so much
I wish Id never felt the devils touch
All that passes through my eyes so fast. oh my.
Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death?
Do you believe? oh yeah!
Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death?
Do you believe? oh yeah!
Its such a sad sad song
Mother nature aint never wrong
She always tells you when youre getting on
Oh my, is there life after death?
I can hardly wait to see my face
Will I still have one in a different place
Oh youll forgive me if I hesitate, but oh my
Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death? do you believe? oh yeah!
Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death? do you believe? oh yeah!
Is it any wonder, I feel just a little bit under
I hear choirs filled with fenders say return to sender
Jumping information, Ive got hyperventilation
Will it help me if I walk the streets
I gotta get down search around here dragged by my feet
Oh no I never knew those (? )
Im gonna shake it, shake it, shake it, is there life after death
I cant remember when I felt so sick and rough
And now theyre gonna legalise the stuff
It sure tells you when youve had enough, off the cuff
Is there life, is there life? is there life after death? do you believe? oh yeah!
Is there life, is there life? is there life after death? do you believe,
Ive run out of breath.

Feeling Abandon and Lost Inside
The first thing that I should do is look in the mirror and say what is my name,
This is one reason why I feel so abandon and lost inside,
There is times that I cannot even remember who's my family or friends,
Yes, if you had this feeling lost inside then you would see what it feels like to be me,
As I think of this tears come rolling down my eyes,
Because I feel like my life is hidden away is a deep dark disguise.
Having these feelings or thoughts give me a roller coaster of emotions,
As it makes feel like a freak or a failure or like a creature feature.
Forgetting the memories of my life is hard, and it hurts,
I hope that if you are someone that reads this that you take in what I am trying to say,
Those memories are the ways in life that we will always remember when it is to laugh, cry or smile.
There probably will be a time in our life when those thoughts will be gone.
So please try to take in any and all the memories of your life,
Because as I said earlier it will hard to remember those precious moments,
It is hard, but for me to remember things I have to write my feelings and memories down into words.
For me to even remember life.
Thank you, Lord for giving me this chance to still live.

For You & I
The world is full of other people (ooh ooh)
Take a look around
Were quick to laugh when theyve got troubles (ooh ooh)
And we put 'em down
We go
Were not so hot you know
Its like a roller coaster
On a downward motion
On a one way street
We cant control our feet
Were on the road to ruin
Dont know what were doin
She may be quiet
She may be shy
But dont you bring her down
Dont pass her by
The world of wisdom behind her eyes
Could answer everything
But you and i
We seem to wander in a daydream (ooh ooh)
We never look around
The world is full of other people (ooh ooh)
And we put 'em down
We go
Were not so hot you know
Its like a roller coaster
On a downward motion
On a one way street
We cant control our feet
Were on the road to ruin
Dont know what were doin
Shes not beautiful
But dont make it plain
You underestimate
Its not a game
A heart of gold
Behind the drab
Would comfort anyone
But you and i
Should try to see it from the other side (oooh)
Well get a shock
It could surprise you
The world is full of other people (ooh ooh)
Take a look around
We set the pace while others listen (ooh ooh)
Never make a sound
The rain must fall
But we can change
Our understanding
Will remain
So take a moment
To wonder why
The world keeps turning
For you and i

Look At Life
(sylvester / clarke)
Look at life, take a look around you
Look at life, doesnt it astound you
See the colors of the sky
Watch the colors of a rainbow
Were so lucky, you and i
Look at life
Its there for us
So why dont we use it
Four seasons of the year
All you do is choose it
Warm summers bring the sun,
And with the falling leaves the autumn
All the new things come with spring
Look at life
Warm summers bring the sun,
And with the falling leaves we get the autumn,
The autumn
You see a young boy pick a flower
Why does he do it
He picks it for the one he loves
Thats why he does it
He sees the colors of the sky,
Watches the colors of a rainbow
Were so lucky, you and i
Look at life
Look at life look at life look at life
Look at life look at life look at life

I Lost everything
I lost everything all at once.
My world stopped just like that.
My friend ditched me. I'm out of school.
I even lost Monica.
She was sweet, funny, and nice.
She moved out of state.
I won't graduate.
My life is anything but great.
Maryssa ditched me. I don't know if
we're still friends.
My life is terrible.
It should go ahead and end.
I lost everything all at once.
Nothing's right at all.
I need a job so I can move.
So I can independently stand tall.
Like I'm an adult. Not a kid.
Like other people think.
Most people would say my life is good,
but I say my life stinks.
Once you quit school your friends
forget about you.
Take it from me I know.
Believe me I do.
I've lost everything all at once.
Shattered are my dreams.
I need to find a way to realize
exactly what my life means.
I know I've been hateful, but I
have a reason to cry.
If I could speak to God myself
I'd only ask him why?
Why put me through this torment?
I haven't done a thing.
Help me figure out why all my
heart does is sting.
I'm seventeen. I'm too young
for this stress.
I can't sleep at night. My
whole life is a mess.
No one will help me.
Or show me the way.
All people tell me is that
It'll one day be okay.
I have hope that it eventually
will.
So, what do I do till then?
This pain is too damn real.
I've lost evrything all at once.
It hurts too bad.
I want something to call my own.
So, I won't be so sad.
Help me please show me
someone cares.
My life hurts. Sometimes
it's too hard to bare.
Will someone tell me what my life means?
Until then I've lost everything.

Bring Back The Magic
Bring back the magic
By: jimmy buffett, will jennings
1988
Inspired by a noel rockmore painting entitled ride of the beachcombers. I bought the painting and sat with it for a morning in new orleans and let it and the town talk to me.
Chorus:
Nothing can tear you apart
If you keep livin straight from the heart
Though you know that youre gonna to hurt some
The magic will come
If you keep livin straight from the heart
You will know when to stop and to start
Once you see that no one really wins
Then the magic begins
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Beachcombers ride
Oh children lost in the tide
Times never at their command
Waves melt all castles of sand
Melt all castles of sand
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Red sky at night
Oh, such a sailors delight
Red sky at dawn
Oh-oh-oh, gypsy songs comin on
Gypsy songs comin on, songs comin on
Chorus:
Nothing can tear you apart
If you keep livin straight from the heart
Though you know that youre gonna to hurt some
The magic will come
If you keep livin straight from the heart
You will know when to stop and to start
Once you see that no one really wins
Then the magic begins
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Dont make life so tragic
You got to bring back, bring back, bring back the magic
Bring back, bring back, bring back the magic
Bring back, bring back, bring back the magic
Bring back, bring back, bring back the magic

Just Once In My Life
Theres a lot of things I want
A lot of things that Id like to be
But girl I dont foresee
A rags to riches story for me
Ive given up on schemes
Cause everyone fell through
Ive given up so many things
Dont ask me to give up on you
And baby baby
Just once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl dont let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold onto
A good thing I found
Dont let me down
Baby say that youll be staying
I couldnt face the day
If you werent here by my side
And if you went away
Then Id be left without any pride
Theres just one little dream
Ive got to make come true
Theres just one round Ive got to win
I cant be a loser with you
And baby baby
Just once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl dont let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold onto
A good thing I found
Dont let me down
Baby say that youll be staying
Every pot of gold
Aint so easy to find
And if youll stand by me
Girl Ill give you some of mine
I cant give you the world
But Ill work hard for you girl
Well Ill work hard
Every day
Baby dont leave me
Now say you wont leave me
Do this for me baby
Once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl dont let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold onto
A good thing I found
Dont let me down

If My Life Were a Fairytale
I wish my life were a fairytale,
wher there's a big house,
with a loving family,
and best of all
Prince Charming who I love
And live happily ever after with.
: If my life were a fairytale,
I'd have a perfect,
loveing family.
That spends quality
time with eachother,
Free from negativity.
If my life were a fairytale,
I'd have the perfect body.
Tall, skinny, perfect skin,
hair and teeth.
Free from fighting with that
girl looking back at me in the mirror.
If my life were a fairytale,
I'd have the perfect friends,
with the perfect families,
and sharre so many
good memories with.
Free from all the drama.
If my life were a fairytale,
I'd have a big house,
that was spotless,
wish so much to do.
Free from dirtyness.
If my life were a fairytale,
I'd have all the money
in the worl, where I could
buy anything in the world.
Free from the worry of debt.
If my life were a fairytale,
I'd have the perfect man,
who'd I'd call my prince charming,
who is loving and caring.
Free from feeling lonely.
If my life were a fairytale,
I'd have the perfect life,
that everyone would wish for.
Free from judging.
But my life's not a fairytale,
It will never be.
Life is ful of challenges,
and obstacles that you have to fight
throught everyday.
Life is not a fairytale,
It never is.
If only the Cinderella Story
were true.
