The Torch (Act Two)
The torch slowly fades
The burning sensation
Languishly depleting into another
Pepsi generation
No more parties for me, my friend
No more pool tables to set you on
The memories, the concert date
Forever gone
Back to sobriety
No more calamity
Bringin' back
All of me
This program saves lives
Been there and it works
No more bar room insanity
No more alcoholic jerks
It's better this way
Come join me if you will
I'll always be your friend
Still

Friend Is A Friend
A FRIEND IS A FRIEND
WELL BEYOND THE END
BECAUSE A FRIEND
LIVES IN THE HEART
AND IN THE SOUL
WHICH TURNS INTO
SWEET MEMORIES
WHEN YOU FALL APART
AND LOOSE CONTROL
A FRIEND IS A FRIEND
WELL BEYOND THE END
BECAUSE A FRIEND
SHARE A GOOD CHEERS
THROUGH SADNESS AND TEARS
LETTING YOU KNOW
THAT YOU HAVE A FRIEND HERE
A FRIEND IS A FRIEND
WELL BEYOND THE END
BECAUSE A FRIEND IS THERE
THROUGH SORROW AND PAIN
LAUGHTER AND SMILES
BECAUSE AT ANYTIME
A FRIEND CAN BE THERE

The Torch
The torch, was passed
I said to you
The show, the cops
The 'STING'
The turnpike
The brief shower
Be true
I know you, you'll
Continue
Your wicked ways
While, I, lonely, still married
Lost in this maze
Just be my friend
I still want you so
The torch has been passed
A concert ago
The next one
I'll be there
Perhaps with a new friend
For you, my dear
My hopes and dreams
Often though, wet
To have you
Always near

On The Outside Forever Looking In
After years of friendship,
and from words of another,
they decided that they no longer,
wanted to be a friend.
They even went as far as to accuse,
for things that were never done.
Now the tables have turned,
and the one with the words
has turned against them.
So they came back to see their old friend.
Unfortunately they cannot repair what they had done.
They don’t understand the hurt
they cause with their betrayal.
Now they want to come back,
not realising it will never be the same.
They can be forgiven for their blindness,
but trust they can never reclaim.
They will remain on the outside
forever looking in.

Pretentious Friend
A friend never leaves any other friend
but what will happened if betrayal starts
to circle within your friendship?
Never anticipated that one's friend can do that
but theres just friend that pretends to be your friend.
Saying they like you, but the truth they dont
telling you, they have seen you go to that wrong way
but they were just afraid to tell you
but the truth they've never seen you go to the wrong way.
pretending to be a true and caring friend,
when you turn your back
full of stabs in your back can be seen.
choosing a friend has never been easy
but if your friend just steals slowly everything from you
then you wake up
and see everything has gone.
Secrets are disperse
and your name is destroyed
for you trusted the wrong friend
and you just dont know how to get up again,
blaming your pretentious friend
she had left you with problems you have to solve
but dont ever put your full trust to a friend again
for you dont know what she's capable of.
A Good Best Friend

My Friend(a sad poem)
My friend,
My best friend,
in the back yard
sleeping...forever.
We meet in realms
of bliss & night,
To run
& scream
& sing
one more.
My friend,
My only friend,
in my mind
& gleaming.
We meet again
forever more,
My friend of old
in being.

What It Takes To Be A Good Friend
A good friend is always kind,
Should always speak their mind,
Their compassion should never end,
That's what it takes to be a good friend.
A good friend is there for you,
They are real, they are true- blue,
Their compassion should never end,
That's what it takes to be a good friend.
A good friend will be there when you marry,
A heart full of memories, they will carry,
Their compassion should never end,
That's what it takes to be a good friend.
They'll be there if your father dies,
They'll weep with you when you cry,
Their compassion should never end,
That's what it takes to be a good friend.
If a good friend you do find,
Make sure they treat you kind,
Understanding they shouldn't lack,
And they would never stab you in the back,
On top of everything always remember,
A best friend is forever.

A Good Friend She Was
A good friend she was
Would be there for me
Through ups or downs
A good friend she was.
A good friend she was
We laughed and had fun
Her smile was the best
A good friend she was.
A good friend she was
Her caring was amazing
Her love of life showed
A good friend she was.
A good friend she was
Kept her spirits up in pain
Never showed her hurts
A good friend she was.
A good friend she was
Even up until the end
Put my hand on her heart
A good friend she was.
A good friend she was
I will treasure the memories
Of all the joy we shared
A good friend she was.
*Dedicated to my very best friend Maryann whose spirit lives on because you really can't destroy goodness

Bringing It Back
[verse one]
I know Im not the only one thats filling the void
Creatively hip-hop is being destroyed
A lot of rappers really need to be unemployed
Because the topics that them talk about has got me annoyed
You see I heard it all before, theres no need to repeat it
The forms I vacated, might as well delete it
Put your program in and open a new file
You shoulda took your record advance and bought a style
We the only crew that came original
While a lot of other brothers just mimic the pile
The pile thats only designed for pop charts
That contradicts thought, thats the reason we brought
It back cause honestly it lacks
Talent and creativity, in fact
These are symptoms to somethin thats wack
And your system senseless to witness that
So, baby if you wanna, we gon speak on it
We gon tell the world why hip-hop is haunted
Money is a drug and mcs is on it
We gon take it back to the days of mantronix
[chorus]
Yo *snap* we bringin it back
Check it out cause we bringin it back
All dj crews thats cuttin, you bringin it back
We bringin it back
All b-boys breakin and bustin, bringin it back
We bringin it back
Ima do the cabbage patch to solidify we bringin it back
Black eyed peas straight bringin it back, check it out
[verse two]
Yall, your rhymes aint ready, you dead like kenny
Approachin on the mic soundin hefty
Ummmmmm, lustin for them pennies
Far too many, mcs wanna praise they bentleys
Yo, we breakin it down with the art
Dj and breakin up on the chart
Mcs pull out your mic, rip it apart
Writers - hit up the wall, put up your mark and
Set get ready, hold yourself steady
Tryin to make a turn like aunt betty
Sharp on the mic and slice like a machete
Feelin the beat, real deep, down to my belly
Back in the essence, rhyme with the reasons
Too many mc lost the true meanin
Hip-hop, bringin it back with the feelin
Yall, were bringin it back with the feelin
So love me if you wanna, but ima speak on it
Ima tell the world why hip-hop is haunted
Money is a drug and mcs is on it
We gon take it back to the days of soulsonic
[chorus] w/ variations
[chorus two]
Yo, we bringin it back
Check it out look we bringin it back
All djs scratchin and cuttin, you bringin it back
We bringin it back
All b-girls breakin and bustin, you bringin it back
We bringin it back
Ima do the running man to solidify we bringin it back
Black eyed peas steady bringin it back, check it out
B-girls {*echoes*} b-boys (*echoes*}

I Have A Friend
I have a friend who cannot walk
I have a friend all he does is talk
I have a friend, Philippe is his name
I have a friend and we are just the same
I have a friend he’s seventeen years old
I have a friend who has a heart of gold
I have a friend who would catch me if I fall
It is only that he has no legs at all
I have a friend and when my friend was seven
A car ran over him and he almost went to heaven
I have a friend with a smile that I adore
I have a friend who lives in a house of four
I have a friend his family is his home
I have a friend who dreams of visiting Rome
I have a friend who is still finishing school
Yet some people tell him that for that he is a fool
I have a friend they say he is disabled
He has no legs and for that he is labeled
I have a friend who has a friend
They were made for each other; their love will never end
I have a friend who likes to name the stars
I have a friend and what he hates is cars
I have a friend who’s happier than you and me
I have a friend who’s shown me how happy I can be
I have a friend who’s had his bad times too
I have a friend who’s better than me and you
I have a friend so dear to me and kind
That another one like him I shall never find!

Bringin It Back
(words & music by greg gordon)
If I can never see you, if I can never hold you
If I can never touch your face or feel your warm embrace
I still remember talkin, I still remember laughin
I still remember lovin you a lot and touchin you
Only bringin it back, only just bringin it back
A familiar face, a familiar face just brings it all back
Everythings bringin it back, good songs bringin it back
Even after so much time, everythings bringin it back
Thinkin in my solitude, wonderin about your attitude
Thinkin maybe that your love has died
There it is, I can see it in your eyes
A look of sweet surrender, a touch of too much sadness
cause Ive hurt you so, you know your sorrow shows
You just cant stay, but you cant let go

In Need Of A Friend
I'm in need of a friend.
A friend that I can trust
A friend that I can see and talk to
everyday
A friend that will help me
through my problems
A friend that I will feel
comfortable telling everything to
A friend that I can cry on when
I'm in need of a shoulder
A friend that can be there for me
all the times and not back down
A friend like no other
A friend that I never had

Come Back To Me
(Dolly Parton)
Come back to me
Come back and say you're still in love with me
Come back and say that I am all you'll ever need
Baby come back come back to me
Oh please come back to me
Come back and say you'll work it out with me
Come back to stay and say you're never gonna leave
Baby come back, come back to me
Oh and kiss me once again as only you can
Touch me like nobody else can do
Oh, oh, and hold me and show me you're still my man
And that you didn't need somebody new
Oh come back to me
Come back and hold this torch that's burning me
Come back and promise me eternity
Baby come back, won't you come back to me?
Kiss me once again as only you can
Touch me like nobody else can do
Oh, oh, oh, and hold me and show me you're still my man
And that you didn't need somebody new
Oh, come back to me
Come back and mend this broken heart in me
Without your love I know I'll never be complete
Baby come back, won't you come back to me
Oh please come back to me
Baby come back, baby come back to me
Baby come back, come back and say I'm all you need
Come back, won't you come back to me
Come back to me
Come back and say you're still in love with me
Come back and say that I am all you'll ever need
Baby come back won't you come back to me
Oh, please come back to me
Come back and hold this torch that's burning me
Come back and promise me eternity...

Though hell should bar the way,
A friend is a friend,
well beyond the end.
Because a friend lives in the heart,
the soul,
which turns into sweet memories,
when you fall apart and lose control.
A friend, is SURELY a friend,
well beyond the end.
Because a friend shares good cheers,
through sadness and tears,
letting you know that you have a friend here.
A friend is a friend,
well beyond the end.
Because a friend is there to;
Bear pain,
bear witness to the fact that you care,
And gain,
Gain the fact that;
through sorrows, grief, and pain,
*though hell should bar the way,
share laughter and smiles,
well beyond a mile.
Because a friend can be there,
-be there.
Because a friend can be there
at any expense,
at any given time.

River (Millie)
Flowing through my life like a river,
you provide that tranquility,
the ever constant path and rhythm.
You are all I could of asked for.
A friend I care for,
a friend I can't love more,
a friend so bright,
a friend sparkling my night.
A friend always there,
a friend who is always fair,
a friend who I respect,
a friend better than all the rest.
A friend I admire,
a friend who I can't tire,
I friend who I trust,
a friend which has no lust.
A friend who will last,
a friend who you can't cast,
a friend who is a treasure,
a friend forever for sure.
As I will try to keep you,
supporting you as I can,
standing by your side in decisions,
trusting you with my eyes closed.

Lost Souls
My pen feels heavy
My mind marose
A new state of living
Comatose
I still breathe
In this bitter silence
Yearning to explore
Death
What has become of my soul
Desperation
I climb back into an alcoholic
Deepness, darkness
One humongeous
Calamity filled hole
Dreary days appear
Piercing my heart
Little moments of peace
Fade quickly
To the past as
Insanity returns
Trying to resolve this disease
I ponder which way to turn
Back to a higher power
Or just burn with
The non-believers
Lost souls

Beyond Sobriety
Here we go again
Back to a world of insanity
Question
To drink or not to drink
Return to bitterness
Another calamity
So well a gift of sobriety
For a brief blink of this alcoholics eye
How can this happen?
To a husband, father, fiend or foe
I am clueless once again
Recovery is history
One day at a time
Take it easy
Let go and let GOD
Gone
In my spiritual sense
How many times, oh LORD
Can forgiveness
Save my soul
How many times
I think not
To drink and then again
Death is at my door
As I booze
Once more

Who My Friend Is
My friend is me
I am my friend
My friend is my rock, refuge and strength
Oh yea, my friend give strengths back to my weaknesses.
With my friend I can be me
My friend is the hand that leads me on
In the dark, my friend is my light
My shelter from the rain
My umbrella from the scorching sun
Oh yea, my friend is my guardian angel
My friend is a friend who makes me desire to be a child once again
I laugh, I cry.I shout, i scream with my friend beside me
My friend is cross-your-heart-and-hope-
To-die friend.
My friend kiss out the pain from my heart when am hurt
And reach down deeper to kiss my soul with love.
Absolute, best is my friend.

My best friend, tiffany
Wearing a size too small of sweater

Dressing up pretty
We love to ride
We love to canter
My best friend tiffany
She is so popular
Were going from site to site and pool to pool tonight
And we hear terry say that tricias ok
But she ought to learn to shave her bikini line better
And tauren was born, like her mother, in a storm
And traceys been away forever

A Friend LikeYou
A friend like you is like no other friend
A friend like you is a friend I don't regret meeting
A friend like you is like a friend I can't scream at or fight with
A friend like you is like having no worries in my life
A friend like you is a friend that I don't want to lose
A friend like you is like being in comfort all day
A friend like you is a friend I always wanted
A friend like you is awesomely awesome
A friend like you is random and funny
A friend like you is a friend that I love to death and I will never let go
A friend like you is a friend I can tell all my secrets to
A friend like you..
A friend like you is like the little sister I've always wanted
A friend that I can go to tell them what's wrong
A friend like you is like having no dark days because you brighten them up
A friend like you is a friend that opens up my eyes and helps me avoid bad things
A friend like you is a type of friend that laughs at dumb things I say or do
A friend like you is a friend I am proud to call my best friend...
