Lie spoken truth spoken
For a lie painted may be a truth revealed
Like a scream hidden in a whisper concealed
Silently dying on a word token
Of all the things those uttered and those mute
The way the hearts lie shattered
Take a bullet step to shoot
Thinking they've got nothing to lose
Thinking it's the only thing to choose

Bullet Proof Soul
i was so in love with you
you rarely see a love that true
wasn't that enough for you
wasn't that enough for you
i would climb a mountain
i wouldn't want to see you fall
rock climb for you
and give you a reason for it all
you kept on thinking
you were the only one
too busy thinking
love is a gun
hit me like a slow bullet
like a slow bullet
it took me some time to realise it
you kept on thinking
you were the only one
too busy thinking
love is a gun
i know the end before
the story's been told
it's not that complicated
but you're gonna need a bullet proof soul
you kept on thinking
you were the only one
too busy thinking
love is a gun
i know the end before
the story's been told
it's not that complicated
but you're gonna need a bullet proof soul
you were trigger happy baby
you never warned me let me free
it's not that complicated
but you're gonna need a bullet proof soul
think you got it but you got all the trouble you need
i came in like a lamb
but i intend to leave like a lion
it hit me like a slow bullet
it hit me like a slow bullet

No Dark
Why do we prefer dark more?
Some truths can’t be revealed better
If days are lovely and bright
We may feel shy and choose not to fight
So something can be hidden in night
As it won’t be reflected by light
It will not be observed by human trial
You have enough time later to offer denial
Some of the happiest moments are shared in night
Where you get lost in emotions in deem light
Nothing is seen by you in near vicinity
You want it to go unnoticed even if involves infidelity
Though dark its better
It had to happen sooner or later
Yet a fine and divine act
Not to shed a doubt or react
In dark, you have pulse
To beat and repulse
A feeling that keeps you together
Away from world and worries to bother
Not a gentle foot step is heard
It is dead silence and not even slight movement of bird
All in complete refuge of nature
Dreaming of bright day for future
We live in dark and believed in dark
As a wrong presume that it may hide the dog’s bark
Not a word may go out even if you whisper
But four walls have ears that may silently utter
Come out of shadow and dram for light
Truth may never be hidden if you are right
It may come little late but will not elude
You may be respected high even if known as rude

Who? !
In love with two people,
yea thats just great..
Could this be Karma?
Or just a twist of fate?
Who's heart should i break?
Who's heart sould i take?
Would they even care who i choose
One could never win,
I would always lose...
My heart is being torn apart
just thinking about this
The heartache will start
Just thinking about who i'll miss...
Should i choose him?
Or should i choose you
I'm so confused
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

you must know i only uttered i love you once
speaking of love, yes, love, what can i say about love,
i cannot speak it without using the word
you,
it is always you, because without you, love cannot even exist
as a word,
or even a thought or even a waft of air to cool my senses,
without you,
love cannot even exist as a blood cell in my heart
or a vein or a chamber
where love usually sleeps,
it is you,
always it is you that i will always equate with love,
you must know
i only uttered i love you
once, and it was true, and it is still true,
the rest
are the words of the drunk man, the broken heart trying
to relive what was once truly uttered,
reenacting,
imitating but always falling short of the truth
years ago
again the words kneeled before God in an old church
with you
our hands may have clasped in prayer
if you remember
our hands finally found each other
touching and holding tight as i said
i love you
as you said
i love you too
that was many years ago,
truth does not know how to die,
true love lives in that
i love you,
forever, always,
you,
i love you,
wherever you are now,
you
must know,
that is the truth that until now
i live
that until now
i am living and thinking still only of you............

Love From Your Child
I lay here thinking, Thinking of my life, Thinking of the disappointment, Contention, worry and strife.
Thinking of what could of been, Or maybe what could be, What has been, And what I failed to see.
Thinking is this all there is, Should I expect more, I mean don't I have everything, With these two kids I adore.
Sighs as I think of attaining the stars, The one thing I want to achieve, is true happiness and love, Something now I'm not sure I believe.
Then I lay back and smile, As things don't seem so sad, I hold my children tight, And hear I Love you Dad! ! ! ! !

What do you know of the Truth?
You think that I'm an angel,
but you're thinking of the light.
Your facts may not be wrong,
but the truth is still not quite.
The story you've been told.
Is less than half of what you've seen.
It is better that you don't know,
of who I am and where I've been.
The truth is an ugly thing,
though some prefer it's gaze.
There are things that are still more palpable
when they're hidden by a haze.
The truth you may want to find,
I'm not saying that that's wrong.
But I'm just saying I'm not sure,
that even you are that strong.
There are things that people hide,
things, that they put away.
Things that have reasons,
why they never see light of day.
Though your causes may be noble,
that I don't deny.
But there are things that are too touchy,
for you to ever know the why.
If you play with a person's heartstrings,
they are liable to break.
Even with your good intentions,
there are demons you shouldn't wake.
If I Know Me
We both said some things
I know we never meant
And when I slammed the door tonight
You wondered where I went
If I know you, youre probably wondering what to do
Youre thinking that Im gone for good
If I know you
Chorus:
But if I know me
Ill turn this car around
I wont get halfway through town
And Ill be sorry
Ill stop and call
And youll say youre sorry too
And Ill come running back to you
If I know me
Sometimes I lose me head
Say things to break your heart
Forgetting if I lost your love
It would tear my world apart
If I know you, you didnt mean
A single word you said
Truth be known your dying crying
Lying there in bed
Chorus
And I know me

Speedway
I get so nervous I'm shaking
Gets so I got no pride at all
Gets so bad but I just keep coming back for more
I guess I just get off on that stuff
I'm thinking about taking some time
I'm thinking about leaving soon
I got some things I can't tell anyone
I got some things I just can't say
They're the kind of things no one knows about
I just need somebody to talk to me
I'm thinking about leaving tomorrow
I'm thinking about being on my own
I think I've been wasting my time
I'm thinking about getting out
Thinking about getting out
In all this time

They say its popcorn love
But its more than that to me

When knowing love of life you own with a peace of mind condoned,
In and outside of your home,
Is not on loan droning in a moan groaned all day and night long!
And you 'dig it like the fresh scent of Spring!

Do whatever it is wanted if you wanted.

Do whatever it is wanted if you wanted.

So Afraid To Be Revealed
There are those so afraid to be revealed by the truth.
And so afraid they are to come out of hiding.
They have felt comforted by the lies they have spoken.
To keep their pains and resentments concealed.
Their misdeeds directed have come to affect their minds.
And the years of deceit now have come to surface.
In illnesses they try to numb.
With prescribed drugs to keep them hidden.
But eventually...
Truth shows what they have done!
There are those so afraid to be revealed by the truth.
And so afraid they are to come out of hiding.
They have felt comforted by the lies they have spoken.
To keep their pains and resentments concealed.
But their agonies...
Keep them from peacefully sleeping.
Their agonies keep them constantly weeping.
With no escape...
From the misdeeds they can not shake!
Or from them go away!
To live lives for them that have been totally fake!
And they may or may not know...
What they've done to others,
Those that were not aware of it...
See it cleary.
Because truth always shows,
What has not before been exposed.

I hope that youve been thinking about me
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
Pick up the phone to call you
But I hung up cause Im so afraid
Afraid of rejection
Or another woman in your face
Hopin all day that you would call me
And that youre thinkin of me too
Well in my case with the game of love
If I played I would probably lose
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that youre thinkin of me
And I pray every night you love me
I dont ever want what we have to end
And Ill always be your friend
Dont you feel me calling from afar
If you dont know Ive been there from the start
As sure as my name is what it is
Youll always have a place in my heart
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you

The way that I have been thinking of you
When I pray every night
That its me in your dreams when your sleepin
I really hope that Im the that youre thinking about
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

I hope that you have been thinking of me too (I hope that, I hope that youve
Been thinkin)

Only One On My Mind
As I sit here,
thinking of all my dreams,
you're the only one on my mind,
so it seems.
It's kind of funny,
that it had to be you,
that I'd be thinking of,
if you only knew.
The way you smile,
captures my heart,
I just hope,
it's not ripped apart.
You make my day,
just by being there,
also the way you love,
and the way you care.
You've told me that,
you've got a heart for mankind,
but to others,
you act so blind.
You tell me you're scared,
of others knowing you,
as well as you say,
that I do.
You're so open to me,
but to others you're not,
but honestly though,
it means a lot.
How you can be honest,
and open with me,
how there's nothing hidden,
between us you'll see.
All of this,
comes to my mind,
as I turn to leave,
all of it behind.
It seems though,
that I can't leave you,
in the past,
every word is true.
You're one of the things,
I can count on in life,
to always be there,
without strife.
You've always been there for me,
every step of the way,
I hope I'll always be there for you,
with no delay.
You're my light,
when I've lost my path,
you're always in the equation,
and the aftermath.

Zaccheus
Zaccheus climbed the tree,
And thought himself unknown;
But how surprised was he
When Jesus called him down!
The Lord beheld him, though concealed,
And by a word his pow'r revealed.
Wonder and joy at once
Were painted in his face;
Does he my name pronounce?
And does he know my case?
Will Jesus deign with me to dine?
Lord, I, with all I have, am thine!
Thus where the gospel's preached,
And sinners come to hear;
The hearts of some are reached
Before they are aware:
The word directly speaks to them,
And seems to point them out by name.
'Tis curiosity
Oft brings them in the way,
Only the man to see,
And hear what he can say;
But how the sinner starts to find
The preacher knows his inmost mind.
His long forgotten faults
Are brought again in view,
And all his secret thoughts
Revealed in public too:
Though compassed with a crowd about,
The searching word has found him out.
While thus distressing pain
And sorrow fills his heart,
He hears a voice again,
That bids his fears depart:
Then like Zaccheus he is blest,
And Jesus deigns to be his guest.

An Echoing Truth
In a world of right and wrong, we have Truth, that echoes strong,
And from the world’s ancient past, God’s Truth shall forever last,
To be for men a guide and light, for discerning wrong from right;
God’s Guiding Truth for every need, when souls choose to heed.
God’s Word echoes loud and clear, as men of true wisdom fear,
God who reigns above the earth, who gives The Word true worth,
God, Who spoke this world in place, opens hearts by His Grace,
And with that Grace He will impart, Eternal Truth into man’s heart.
A Book, that many seldom read, has the Truth that all men need,
While others never even heard, the Eternal Truths in God’s Word;
Eternal Truths that man can trust, which were written for all of us,
Truth revealed to all the world, which all believers need to herald.
This truth’s more than knowledge of, The One who reigns above,
But what He had did for everyone, sending Christ, His Only Son,
His Truth, revealed to every nation, leads a soul to His Salvation,
When they come to Jesus Christ, that soul, receives Eternal Life.
Open The Word and you will see, Truth about our present reality,
And you will see through history, others pointing men to eternity,
How Godly men of old would tell, others about Heaven and Hell,
Knowing all are just one breath, away from Eternal Life or Death.

Thinking Of You
Tell me mama is your life a better change ?
And tell me mama
Would you live your life the same
Or come back and rearrange ?
Tell me mama how is freedom ?
Oh I'm thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
And I'm trying now
Oh I'm thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
Tell me mama
Are the colors deeper shades ?
And tell me mama
Are there great big brass parades ?
Does the sun shine night and day ?
Tell me mama no more sleeping
Tell me mama no more weeping

And all the things that you wanted me to be
And I'm trying now
Oh I'm thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be

Oh I'm thinking of you
