The child tastes the tear
The tear is made of salt
The tear is made of water
The tear is made of the sea
But you cannot swim in it
The tear can leak down the cheek
The tear is like a good rhyme
The child wipes away the tear
The wipe is made of the hand
The hand is made by…who
The child thinks of the hand
The hand can shake a hand
The hand can slap a cheek
The hand can wipe the tear away
The hand and tear are made
The child is thinking
I am made too

Tear It Up
I got a black top road out in front of me
And I might just tear it up
I gotta rock'n'roll jones pumpin' in deep
Just might tear it up
Gimme a bar room floor a back beat band
Play the kinda music I can understand
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand just might tear it up.
Tear it up hey I just might tear it up
Tear it up Tear it up
Ya know I just might tear it up
I got a ticket from a cop on the way over here
Just might tear it up
I got the repossession notice for my car right here
Just might tear it up
Oh one of these nights I ain't lyin'
If the moon is right and I feel like flyin'
Sweet sixteen take me down the line just might tear it up
Chorus:
The way you rock and roll me you make it look so easy
And when you're out on the floor baby
You make it look so easy
Hey you really touch my soul baby
You make it You make it
Tear it up
The way you rock and roll me you make it look so easy
And when you're out on the floor baby
You make it You make it You make it
We got the rock'n'roll band pumpin' tear it up
We got the kids in the gym jumpin' tear it up
We got the chaperones hip hoppin' tear it up
We got sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand Tear it up
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand Tear it up
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand Tear it up

Gimme one reason why you look so sad
A heart like yours wasnt made for that
Gimme your hand, Ill pull you through
Gimme some time and I swear to you
Every night
Ill be so close
Every night
Hey dont you know
You and me
Were made to be in love
Dont let them tear us apart
You and me
Were made for love
Baby you know its a matter of fact
I cant stand by when you feel like that
Baby, you know when it comes to love
I got time and thats time enough
Every night
Ill be so close
Every night
Hey dont you know
You and me
Were made to be in love
Dont let them tear us apart
You and me
Youre all I ever need
Look in my eyes cant you see?
You and me were made for love
You can lock your door
You can live alone
You can dim your lights
Disconnect the phone
You can run
But you will live in a lie
You and me
Were made to be in love
You and me
Were made to be in love
Dont let them tear us apart
You and me
Youre all I ever need
Look in my eyes cant you see?
You and me
Were made to be in love
Dont let them tear us apart

Youre all I ever need
Look in my eyes cant you see?

Love You Forever
Her one killing look
Made my heart hook
Her one cute smile
Made me jump mile
Into ocean of love
Her one sweet word
Made me fly world
Her one beautiful move
Made my heart rove
Into ocean of love
Her one caring call
Made me forget all
Her one pure query
Made my heart quest
Into ocean of love
Her one heart beat
Made my heart beat
Her one helping hand
Made me sail sand
Into ocean of love
Her one painful tear
Made my heart tear
Her one silent promise
Made me also promise
I love you dear forever

A Lonely Tear
A lonely tear falls down
A smile turns to frown
Trickles down the cheek
Does not make you weak
A lonely tear escapes
A lifetime of mistakes
A sad and lonely heart
Others broke apart
A lonely tear is dried
So many nights it cried
A friend reached out their hand
And tried to understand
The lonely tear is gone
Life will carry on
With love from a friend
The lonely tears will end

A Lonely Tear
A lonely tear falls down
A smile turns into a frown
Trickles down the cheek
doesn't it make you weak
A lonly tear escapes.
A lifetime of mistakes.
A sad lonely heart
that others broke apart
A lonely tear is dried
So many nights it cried
A friend reached out their hand
And tried to understand
The lonely tear is gone
Life will carry on
With love from a friend
The lonely tears will end

Petals
Shes the angel on top of the tree
Sugarheart, here she comes
Shes going to fall on me
Innocence was our fire
We told the truth
I miss the sweet boys
In the summer of their youth
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
They will make you so
So cynical
The fire burns, the flesh destorys
The past that made us old
Shes the grace of this world
Shes too pure
For the likes of this world
This world is a whore
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
I wait till mine and
Hey, its all mine
Hey, its all mine
Never knew what I could be
All the darling buds of may
They fall with no sound
They carry you down
They carry you down
Ooooooooo, ooooooh
Ooooooooo
All the lillies bloomed and blossomed
Wilted and theyre shivering
I cant stop their withering,
Oh, this world is a war
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you

I'm Sorry (dedicated to Danielle)
I'm Sorry for everything,
I am sorry I screwed up,
Sorry I brought you into it by saying I didn't want to live,
I'm sorry for calling your friend an idiot
I'm sorry I hurt you
I'm sorry I was never there,
I'm sorry I made you feel like you couldn't count on me,
I'm Sorry
I'm sorry if I made one tear fall down the beautiful cheeks
I'm sorry if I made one tear come out of those beautiful eyes
But most of all I'm sorry.

Tear Drops Of Joy
Tear dropp of joy when a baby is bron
Tear dropp of joy when your mother and father tell you that they love you
Tear dropp of joy when my boyfriend bring me a dozen of roses
Tear dropp of joy when I see two people holding hands
Tear drops of joy when all the family come over for a sunday dinner
and I stand back and watch everyone enjoy every one
A Tear come down with joy.....

Did You Live? Did You Dare?
when the stage goes dark,
and the crowd goes silent...
whose voice whispers in the quiet?
whose hand upon your shoulder?
when the show is over,
and they roll the credits...
will your name be called?
what will they say you have done?
did you feed someone hungry,
throw a blanket over the cold?
did you wipe away a tear?
did you hold the hand of a frightened child?
did you stand against the wars?
did you grow your own food?
did you listen, did you care?
did you risk it all for a moment of love?
did you live? did you dare?

Come on, little baby, lets tear that dance floor up
Come on, little baby, lets tear that dance floor up.
Come on, little mama, let me see you strut your stuff.
Im a leavin, little baby, gonna be gone a long, long time.
Im a leavin, little baby, gonna be gone a long, long time.
Well come on honey and show me a real good time.
Tear it up! tear it up!
Tear it up! tear it up!
Come on little baby let me see you strut your stuff.

Tear it up! tear it up!
Tear it up! tear it up!
Come on little baby let me see you strut your stuff.
Well you step back baby, and you move my way,
Step around again and let me hear you say
Tear it up! tear it up!
Come on little baby, let me see you strut your stuff.
Tear it up! tear it up!
Tear it up! tear it up!
Come on little mama let me see you strut your stuff.

My Other Hand...
the black man's hand,
the poor man's hand.
the Muslim hand, the Jewish hand...
the gay man's hand,
the working man's hand,
the ex-convict's hand,
the farmer's hand, the garbage man's hand...
the Christian's hand, the atheist's hand,
the father's hand, the soldier's hand,
the peacemaker's hand,
the healer's hand, the teacher's hand,
the prodigal's hand, even the murderer's hand...
the victim's hand, the broken hand,
the praying hand, the touching hand...
all, when extended,
feel like my other hand!

Made By Hand
made by hand....
dreams woven
in a fine cloth....
steps made of stone,
laid one upon the other.
shelter made of oak,
cut and hauled,
nailed together in the sun,
able to stand the night.
this window made of glass,
allowing light and dark
to intertwine....
this old bed made of pine....
the path to the doorway
laid with pine needles....
this old door always open....
the light always on....
this heart made by hand,
waiting for you,
in this stillness...
made by hand!

The Visit
I went to visit you the other day,
a bunch of fresh cut flowers in my hand.
I only had a little time to spend-
Still you, I think, were glad to have me there.
I spoke about my troubles in your presence
You listen with an ever patient ear
You remind me that all trials are transient
That nothing dries as quickly as a tear.
Now that you and Mom are back together-
I can’t believe already it’s a year-
As often happens with long married hearts.
Does nothing dry as quickly as a tear?
With pain, I raise myself up from my knee
I say farewell with none around to hear
It’s just a lie we tell ourselves, my Da
That nothing dries as quickly as a tear.

80 Proof Bottle Of Tear Stopper
(Darryl Staedtler)
You ain't never fell as far as when you fall in love
Except the fall you take when you've been loved and given up
When you have your heart and soul rubbed into the dirt
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will take away the hurt
Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free
It ain't easy losing love although it's turned out bad
All at once you're turning off old feelings you once had
But I found a helping hand right here in my hand
And 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will help me take 'em out
Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

On The Gift Of A Book To A Child
Child! do not throw this book about!
Refrain from the unholy pleasure
Of cutting all the pictures out!
Preserve it as your chiefest treasure.
Child, have you never heard it said
That you are heir to all the ages?
Why, then, your hands were never made
To tear these beautiful thick pages!
Your little hands were made to take
The better things and leave the worse ones:
They also may be used to shake
The Massive Paws of Elder Persons.
And when your prayers complete the day,
Darling, your little tiny hands
Were also made, I think, to pray
For men that lose their fairylands.

Take My Heart
Take my heart,
Tear it apart,
Make me cry,
Like you always do,
You make feel miserable,
I can speak for myself,
Yet you tent to speak over me,
You say we will be together forever,
But that didn't last long,
My cut my self up,
Inflect my wounds on you,
Take my heart,
Tear it apart,
while you at it,
Burry my soul to the ground,
And burry my corps with it,
You took away everything I had,
Made the girl I hated to become,
Just let me be,
Go away,
Tear things apart,
Thats what you good at,
Please Take my heart away so far that I will cry myself to sleep tonight.

Tear Me Down
Listen
I was born on the other side
Just always looking to you
I made it over the great divide
Now I'm coming for you
Your forces lined up in battle
Your soldiers and your machines
The sun has been blocked out by shadows
The darkest hour now you've ever seen
And I'm easy and I'm serious
They try and tear me down
You want me baby I dare you
Try and tear me down
I rose up on the doctor's slab
Like Lazarus from the pit
And everyone wants to take a stab
Decorate me with blood, graffiti and spit
I've been held up on money
I've been beaten out of spite
You want a piece of me honey?
Lose or win
You know you've been in a fight
And I'm easy and I'm serious
They try and tear me down
You want me baby I dare you
Try and tear me down
Girl (speaking):
On March 6th, 1836 the walls of the Alamo fell
to the Mexican army. After a 12 day siege, the
troops of Santa Ana were victorious but too
exhausted to hold on and the Texans won the
war. It's further from El Paso to Texarkana,
then from New York to Chicago. And when it
joined the Union, Texas was the biggest state.
Yeah, everything from Texas is big, larger than
life and none bigger than little Marvin Aday. So
big his daddy called him Meat Loaf. He grew
into a big man, with a big voice. And he sings
big songs and has big hits. You can try and
tear him down.
Meatloaf:
Now there ain't much difference
Between a bridge and a wall
Without me right in the middle baby
You'll be nothing at all
And I'm easy and I'm serious
They try and tear me down
You want me baby I dare you
Try and tear me down
And I'm easy and I'm serious
They try and tear me down
You want me baby I dare you
Try and tear me down
