Own Little Life
You came to the conclusion I was too stupid
to run my own life, you prescribed getting a
Facebook site from where to become the faith-
ful disciple of everyone you like, you think it a
good idea to rate their photographs high and
communicate in German and French simply
because you like doing it; you recommend
joining an Ayn Rand discussion group
One little victory for me: my stoic face remains
expressionless as I listen to your praising the
virtues of publishing photos and posting poems
expressing heart-felt pain and loss of life and
love; and I wonder why you always insist that
I should follow your ideas like a sheep, why
do you get angry if I refuse to kiss the feet
of those you adore
Why not leave me alone to figure out my own
little life, even if it seems too small to you, why
always ready with a straightjacket to tie up my
arms to prevent exploring; why do you think I
am brain-dead and will always be like this?

It's A Beautiful Life
I wish my brain would operate instead of standing still.
It's all so complicated,
The thread of my own thoughts seems to be disappearing into what seems
to be a logical conclusion.
I guess I just ran out of ideas.
I've heard a million songs about this and that,
and they gave me satisfaction...
But I see,
It's a Beautiful life.
Now comes the second verse and I have to at least keep the measures
straight.
It's been a long time now and i'm really insecure about it all.
I guess I didn't like seeing all the things I saw, Who needs it?
It's been a little painful and I hope I don't like the pain,
Cause I'd hate to think of myself like that...
'Cause I see,
It's a Beautiful life.
I like the old things, But I just can't give up the idea
of trying something a little bit different,
Even if it's stupid...
'Cause I see,
It's a Beautiful life.
Yes, I see,
It's a Beautiful life.
And I see,
It's a Beautiful life

An Idea
An Idea can change the world, how many
things can be done from an idea, every piece
of object was an idea, sense the beginning of
time idea was the first thought created in the
mind, an idea is what surround’s every being.
But an idea is still only an idea and it can't be
felt, you cannot touch an idea or kiss it, or hold it,
ideas do not bleed or feel pain or love, an idea
cannot be seen or heard, its created in our thoughts,
but then again an idea can become real. An idea
can be what ever you which it to be, an idea can
be destructive, an idea can be brilliant, I've seen
people get killed in the name of ideas, ideas,
we walk around with a little
light bulb blinking in our thoughts, ideas.

Faith and its role
There are two kinds of faith people live with:
Faith in lordship and faith in fellowship;
The first is that someone will do for you
And the second is others won't fail you.
With faith in the shepherd, the sheep follow.
With faith in the fellow sheep, the sheep feed.
Without faith in system, you can't follow.
Without faith in others, you can't transact.
Faith in God, faith in fate and faith in luck
Would weaken the faith you have in yourself.
Faith in love, faith in trade and faith in helps
Would slacken the cognizance you possess.
Faith can't be dispensed with altogether.
Faith in the unknown has no guarantee.
Faith in the known has no certainty
But can strengthen their faithfulness to you.
Faith in parents and faith in teachers,
Faith in doctors and faith in medicine
And faith in judges and in justice
Denounced altogether, one cannot exist.
Faith in spouses and faith in children,
Faith in siblings and faith in servants
And faith in professional ethics
Abandoned altogether, one cannot thrive.
Without faith, promises bear no meanings.
Without faith, guarantees have no bearings.
Without faith, investments will have no life.
Only with faith could life be felt secure.
Faith might crack when it is misplaced.
Faith might break when it's sabotaged.
Faith might crash when it's blindfolded.
Yet, one has to vouch for faith in life.
Faith comes from ignorance of things.
Faith comes from lack of influence.
Faith comes in helpless conditions.
Faith exercises no control yet.
Have faith in you and accept the outcome.
Have faith in others and give allowance.
Have faith in future and shelve the distress.
Faith vacated, worries will occupy.

Tears In Such A Way
No use in crying or shedding tears in such a way
Jesus is never far and stays away
He is always near to or in fact in your heart
Guides you each step and remains as inseparable part
Everything is destined to be happy moment
There is no scope to curse or resent
Why tears should find place in eyes?
Life should be trouble with many question of why’s?
You are able and very much capable
Leave your ship in his hand and forget about troubles
What is loss and gain when he has squared fairly?
His gesture with smile is always with you nearly
Let tears fill your eyes and heart
Feel the pain of what he had undergone at start
He bore all the pain to self and worked for us
We shall have faith and unbreakable trust
Nothing should weaken you spirit
As it is divine and get from poor when you greet
Ask for blessings to pursue the message in earnest
This is the life he wants from us to lead as best
Leave everything to him and act as disciple
Life is meant to be led even with struggle
Smooth and easy life is no happiness at all
Swipe the tears of poor and make it as frequent call
You will find glittering shine on face
Let it be anything or whatever may be the case
He is there to take care of lovely garden
We may be blooming daily and fading even

Kiss of...
the pain inside me
wouldn't easily just melt away
the kiss of love
the kiss of passion
the kiss of hate
the kiss of hurt
the kiss of bitterness
the kiss of sweetness
the kiss of death
the kiss of life
which is your kiss
how is your kiss
the pain in my heart are still
inside me
which would burst any moment
the look I saw it from your eyes
told me that you are
sicked of me
and i was disgusting as a pest
the angry look of your eye
while seeing me
and i felt
infinity of daggers stabbing
straight into my heart
the pain would have its place inside me eternally

Shout It
Not on this stage to take up space I'm here to communicate face to face
I'll hold my head up high and shout it look you in the eye and shout it
hold my head up high shout it look you in the eye and shout it
criticized for speaking out I guess you don't know what we're about
so I'll hold my head up high and shout its look you in the eye shout it
hold my head up high shout it look you in the eye and shout it
we're just some friends who want to be heard through out music we'll spread our word
trying our best to figure what life is about seeing the good makes me want to shout
shout it there's nothing wrong with saying my part the message I cry is from the heart
won't change my ideas just to please you you've built the walls we're breaking through

Facing Reality
Feeling like a ghost
when the people I want to see me don't
I take out my rejection on the ones I love the most
I dont face the blackness
no I go on facebook and make a status
hoping my sadness shows my sad times
hoping they like it, hoping they read between the lines
if she comments she will care
I go away so I come back to see no notification there
I'm sad but I think its sad what this world has come to
face to face conversation a social network has out run you
I've been going round in circles looking for love
tell me if it is bad to say that one night wasnt good?
lets talk, lets meet up sometime, some place
am I old fasioned to say I want conversation face to face?
you cant give me what I want and I will not change.
When you see me in the paper will you turn the page?
I wonder if you`ll stand my ovation as I bow on stage?
I know you'll never send me a love letter.
Maybe you will realise that you can't make me better?
Maybe you will see that I will never make it?
Your sympathy doesnt satisfy yes I refuse to take it.
God didn't give me this heart
not so you could break it!
unlike your face we may never make up
as I face reality I am posting it all over facebook.

Passing of Things
All we have in the here and now, will be used or lost somehow,
When this life on earth is past, nothing on earth for us will last.
As we leave this world behind, we enter one, beyond our mind,
Even our bodies God will replace, through His Amazing Grace.
On earth moth and rust destroy, things that give us earthly joy,
Bringing to our life loss and pain, from items we cannot regain.
As this life comes to the end, there is eternity around the bend,
And as life comes to a close, an Eternal Life for all God chose.
Thoughts again of loss, never, as we have life in Christ forever,
For God chose men He knew, would believe His Son to be true.
Planning for men who believe, an eternity minds can’t conceive,
With their own eternal abode, that moth or rust will ever corrode.
But unbelievers will never see, the Heaven prepared for eternity,
They’ll experience greater loss, in denying the love of the cross.
Content with things of the earth, they see no need for new birth,
One in which they’re born of God, to live above this earthly sod.
They refuse to believe in Christ, and will never enter Eternal Life,
They obtain nothing from Him; who gave His life for all their sin.
As crowns are given to those, who follow Jesus Christ who rose,
At his feet the crowns we’ll cast, entering an eternity that will last.

When Someone Comes Into Your Life
When someone comes into your life
Take a chance, my love
Forget all the pain thats inside
Open up your heart
Youll forget as shes touching
Your face that I once held you
In my embrace
It might even feel right when you
Kiss her goodnight and not me
If someone should hold down her hand
Make her yours, my love
Dont know how long it may last,
Oh, how fast love goes
Youll forget me one day, dont you know
But your memories Ill never let go
I will love you the same as I did that
First day I found you
When someone comes into your life
Never close the door
What youre looking for
Might be in your arms at last
Dont run away
When someone comes into your life
Hold fast
When someone looks into your eyes
Dont refuse their love
You cant live the rest of your life
With a broken heart
Youll forget me one day, dont you know
But your memories Ill never let go
And when love comes to stay
I hope she loves you the way
I love you
When someone comes into your life
Never close the door
What youre looking for
Might be in your arms at last
Dont run away
When someone comes into your life
If someone comes into your life
When someone comes into your life
Hold fast, hold fast

A Book, Never Read
Many, many years ago, I experienced a loss most profound;
Now I view the same as a blessing-a dichotomy to confound;
I no longer need solace; I no longer grieve-
Any sense of loss I may have felt, I begged its leave;
I think not of moments lost; nor of a life, without;
My mind has removed, forever and always, any doubt:
For, my most heart-wrenching loss is now my gain;
My heart's poignant relief, supplanted its deepest pain!
Nary hath a moment come, since this day of change,
Where my former sense of loss, seemed anything but strange;
I am begotten from what I lost, though there, it ends;
I live my life with this knowledge, no matter where it sends
Me, or any other I may love-for, he is now and ever, dead-
Gone forever, forgotten completely-as though a book, never read!

Love Of My Life
I love lilacs and avocados
Ukuleles and fireworks
And woody allen and walking in the snow
But youve got to know that
Youre the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
>from the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life
I love lucy and pumpernickel bread
The statue of liberty and standing ovations
And falling into bed
But get it through your head that
Youre the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
>from the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life
You an drive me crazy
You can drive me anywhere
Here are the keys
Just do as you please
It may not always be easy
But youre the love of my life
My heart is riding on a runaway train
You are the love of my life
Through all the pleasure and pain
>from the moment I first saw you
I knew it right away
I knew that you were the love of my life
Simply the love of my life
You are the love
The great love of my life.

Hell In Deep Freeze
Only freedom of ideas is real, bondage simply is
a bondage of ideas because our IDEAS form our
reality - I am afraid I have run out of ideas today -
sitting here in the armoury where all is bound and
chained to their perceptions, limitation is the only
concept we know, limited to this time and space,
limited to saudade, nostalgia, wishing for peace
and contentment when hell is in deep freeze, my
head is burning with my soul smouldering in the
depths of Purgatory, longing for the oblivion of
sleep to melt the stone in my heart and give me
the strength to laugh at myself, looking such an
absurd, tragi-comic figure as a dwarf standing
at attention with an expressionless face just
as I learnt from studying Sam Vimes

Show Me How To Live
In with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldnt buy an eye of sleep
And in the aching night
Under satellite
I was not recieved
With the stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure is or is this a disease
Hey hey I said
Near as I can figure
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Hey hey I said
Near as I can figure
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
In the afterbirth
On the quiet earth
Let this things remind me
You thought you made amend
You better think again
Before my row defines you
Hey hey I said
Near as I an figure
You gave me life now show me how to live
Hey hey I said
Near as I can figure
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Hey hey I said
Near as I can figure
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Hey hey I said
Near as I can figure
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live

Face
It gets difficult to control my feelings
Cannot change myself
I will always be me, no matter what happens
I cannot stop being myself
This may make me appear as evil, in the view of others
Though, I am willing to accept this situation
Always, I will be me, even if it hurts
In this life, pain is meant to be
Cannot prevent things from happening, which are meant to be
The reality, I will simply face, even if it does hurt
Let, things be as the way they are meant to be
Face, I will simply face this life.

Kiss Of Life
Never more aware of what you do
I got you leavin' me and missing you
And me believing that you've never done right
When you've never done wrong
You been comin' to me late at night
It's not the eye alone that gives you sight
I've never given anybody my soul
But I'm coming undone
I'm a survivor but I'm reaching my low
But I'm not ready to die
I'm here for the kiss of life
I'm here for the kiss of life
Just give me the kiss of life
Watch them hold you
Count their faces
A never-ending line
But they're only imitations
Existing out of time
So now you're telling me it's just a ring
You say it's nothing but it's everything
I'm under pressure and I'm under
Your gun and I'm fingers and thumbs
You got the questions and the answers
I know
I'm being buried alive
I'm here for the kiss of life
I'm here for the kiss of life
Just give me the kiss of life
I can't stay here
Lost without you
Strangers in the dark
Holyangel
Living for you
To love and never cry
I'm a survivor but I'm reaching my low
But I'm not ready to die
I'm here for the kiss of life
I'm here for the kiss of life
Just give me the kiss of life

Simply Me
I am a good listener
I heard my elders say
The generation of goats
Does not keep malice with pastures
The flocks of sheep
Has no adversary in market place.
Cattle-egret becomes a celebrity
Community of birds are envious
I have no foe
I take life very easy
Keeping one pace at a time
I am simply me
Always ready to keep friends
Many like my guts
Others condemn my audacity
But I am simply me
Through trials
I am myself
Never fret about tomorrow
Having faith in the creator
That is whom I am
I am just simply me
