Failure
it hard to lose,
everthing i had going for me,
i worked hard to get what i want,
all in one day,
i seem to loose all purpose,
of why i was fighting,
and why it was important,
failure hurts,
but does that mean,
we let it get the best of us,
if i did,
my choice would be to give up,
to give up on live,
to give up on hope,
to give up on dreams,
but, somehow i'm still fighting,
fighting to be something i want to be,
god may labeled me as,
a girl with disability,
doctors may label me as,
a girl who is depressed,
that is not who i label myself as,
i'm not just one thing,
i'm all kinds of things,
i learned it out through the mistakes i've made,
to get where i'm at,
yeah failure hurts,
but it don't have to be all that you are,
we learn from our mistakes,
that what makes us who we are.

Fighting Hard
Rolling out to fight for England, singing songs across the sea;
Rolling North to fight for England, and to fight for you and me.
Fighting hard for France and England, where the storms of Death are hurled;
Fighting hard for Australasia and the honour of the World!
Fighting hard.
Fighting hard for Sunny Queensland—fighting for Bananaland,
Fighting hard for West Australia, and the mulga and the sand;
Fighting hard for Plain and Wool-Track, and the haze of western heat—
Fighting hard for South Australia and the bronze of Farrar’s Wheat!
Fighting hard.
Fighting hard for fair Victoria, and the mountain and the glen;
(And the Memory of Eureka—there were other tyrants then),
For the glorious Gippsland forests and the World’s great Singing Star—
For the irrigation channels where the cabbage gardens are—
Fighting hard.
Fighting hard for gale and earthquake, and the wind-swept ports between;
For the wild flax and manuka and the terraced hills of green.
Fighting hard for wooden homesteads, where the mighty kauris stand—
Fighting hard for fern and tussock!—Fighting hard for Maoriland!
Fighting hard.
Fighting hard for little Tassy, where the apple orchards grow;
(And the Northern Territory just to give the place a show),
Fighting hard for Home and Empire, while the Commonwealth prevails—
And, in spite of all her blunders, dying hard for New South Wales.
Dying hard.
Fighting for the Pride of Old Folk, and the people that you know;
And the girl you left behind you—(ah! the time is passing slow).
For the proud tears of a sister! come you back, or never come!
And the weary Elder Brother, looking after things at home—
Fighting Hard!
You Lucky Devils
!
Fighting hard.

Lonely Girl
Hey lonely girl, what are you looking for
You lost your thrill, and you cant hide it
Knew it from the start
Your world could fall apart
Didnt wanna know,
So love just came and went the other way
Like the times we had before
You dont want them anymore
And think of the times we had before
Now my worlds turned upside down
Having the love to give and no-one seems to care
I wont give you up
Ill never give you up
Even when it hurts inside, baby
I wont give you up
Ill never live it down
Come back and stay
Hey lonely girl, yeah, come be in my picture, alone
Be my dark and heavy skies
Be my love and be my life
And think of the times we had before
Now my worlds turned upside down
Having the love to give and no-one seems to care
I wont give you up
Ill never give you up
Even when it hurts inside, baby
I wont give you up
Ill never live it down
Come back and stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And think of the times we had before
(now my worlds turned upside down)
Now my worlds turned upside down
Having the love to give and no-one seems to care
Now, now, now
I wont give you up
Ill never give you up
Even when it hurts inside, baby
I wont give you up
Ill never live it down
Come back and stay
I wont give you up
Ill never give you up
Even when it hurts inside, baby
I wont give you up
Ill never live it down
Come back and stay
Yeah

The Girl I'm Starting To See
what do you see?
when you look at me?
i'll tell you what i see,
a girl who has accepted who she is,
a girl who just realize that giving up life,
is not going to change a D@mn thing,
no matter how much you want it,
to change everything,
it just made me realize more,
that life has more to offer than meet the eye,
would you agree?
you just can't give up when life gets hard,
if that the case,
we all won't have a chance to become something,
to live out our dreams,
we have people who remind us,
how special we are,
but, we let negative thoughts cloud out judgement,
when we need to push through,
and see all that we can be,
cause i no longer want to be,
somebody who given up,
just because life gotten hard,
i want to be that role model and leader,
i always knew i can be,
cause in the end,
that's the girl i do see,
a girl who want to change for the good,
the place she at now,
is nowhere near where she wants to be,
she tired of playing games, ,
tired of trying to get people to understand her,
cuz the only person it should of mattered to..is me,
along the way,
i forgot who was important,
i forgot who i was and who i wanted to be,
but, that's okay,
along the way,
we all have to make mistakes to learn,
otherwise, we won't know,
who we really are,
cause this is the girl i'm starting to see.

Dredd Song
Never say it's over
Never say the end
Anytime you stop just start again
Never say give up
Never say give in
You always have to fight to win
However much it hurts
However much it takes
Believe and all your dreams will all come true
However hard it gets
However much it aches
Always believe in me
As i believe in you
To never say too late
Never say it's done
Make me know for real you are the one
The one that never turns
Never walks away
The one that i can trust to always stay
Never say surrender
Never say die
You only ever get there if you try
Never say give up
Never say give in
You always have to fight to win
However much it hurts
However much it takes
Believe that all your dreams can all come true
However hard it gets
However much it aches
Always believe in me
As i believe in you
Never say if only
Never say regret
Only the weak remember to forget
Never say it's over
Never say the end
Never say never again
However much it hurts
However much it takes
Believe and all your dreams will all come true
However hard it gets
However much it aches
Believe in me
As i believe in you

The stuff that makes everything turn blue and green

Too many salesman

As Much As I Can Give You Girl
I had a bad day
As much as I can give you girl [3]
I had a bad day and then I heard what you had to say
After I had a hard week it's getting harder to turn the other cheek
It's going to be a tough month without you cause you give me the bump
So this is my last year because without you I don't even care
And you don't know what I've been through
I've tried so hard but how about you?
And here I am trying to save what already died
As much as I can give you girl
I'm gonna send your way
I need you I can't give up girl
Please don't go away
The day we first met you were innocent and so full of life
You said you'd follow me across this whole earth where are you tonight?
So you go fly while I get sold and you'll go far like we all know
Til one fine day you'll realise what you let die
But as much as I can give you girl
I'm gonna send your way
I need you I can't give up girl
Please don't go away
I spent my whole life just to find you
And lost it all in just one day so as much as I can give you girl
To not go away

This is my rain
Do you want to hold all sadness in the world to ease your own pain?
You think you are responsible to all fault
You always too hard to yourself
Till you don’t know what’s wrong
No, you don’t realize
This time you should release my hand and let me try
This is the way I show you my feeling
This is my rain
This is my eternal lament
It hurts to see you that way
It hurts when you ask that way
This is my rain
And you can’t stop it rains
It hurts when you try to smile
It hurts when you learn to lie
You think you are responsible for all the unhappiness
You always too hard to yourself
Till you feel you always wrong
No, maybe you have realized
But you deny your own hope and still don’t let me
This is the way my soul’s longing
This is my rain
This is my crying torment
It hurts to see you that way
It hurts when you still ask that way
This is my rain
And let me soaked in the rain
It hurts when you plea to be blamed
It hurts when you burden the flame
This is my rain
This is my fighting dance
Even you try to cage my heart
It won’t stop but flood
This is my rain
And it pours when rain
It hurts when it hits my skin
It hurts but storm will wash all clean
This is my rain

Looking Back
Looking back
It killed me on inside
I stayed at closed doors
I wish there are things that I can change
I realized why we act way we do
We didn't communicated enough
We keep hurting each other
We keep fighting
We can't let each other go
Our love for each other was so deep
We don't want to lose the one we love the most
When relationships get worst, it never gets better
We make the same mistakes every time
We didn't trust each other
Everything went wrong
At end we are not together anymore
I don't want to fight these battles anymore
I never get sleep anymore
I am not who I used to be
Love hurts so much
I cry so much
I felt so worthless
I keep forgiving you
I stay around
I frown so much
We grow apart
We can never get back love we once had
That was it
I see light at end of tunnel
I went on to doing better things
We went our separate ways
Nothing left to do
All this pain gone away
I have grown up so much
These are things that I left behind
I can't give our relationship another try
I'm afraid you will damaged me more,
It be same thing over and over, and
Our relationship stays right where is
There nothing you can do to provide to me that you change
I'm not that girl anymore
Looking back

Bedda Man
[girl]
Do you love me?
[ginuwine]
Of course I love you baby but you keep bringing up the past
[girl]
Well the past hurts
[ginuwine]
You gonna have to let it go though
[girl]
Its hard though baby
[ginuwine]
Things happen, things change, we move on, we grow, we learn, and then thats it...let it go
[girl]
Well, you gonna be a better man for me?
[verse 1]
Girl I know all the things that I did to you
Its hard to let go cause it hurts
What if I am the one that you want and
You love
Weve gotta try hard to make this work
Girl at times when I thought it was done you would call and gone forever
Out the door
My life was gone and out in the cold
And them things I wont do no more
[chorus]
I know its getting you
But dont give up on me
I wanna be a bedda man
Dont live in the past we gotta move ahead
Im tryin to be a bedda man
If this is what you really want
Then act like this is what you want
Try and make it work
Dont give up on us
Cause I am a bedda man
[verse 2]
You forgave all the things that I did to you
So why you always bringing up the past
I know what I did was wrong and so
Cold
But doing that wont make us last
Listen
Nows the time for us both to move on look ahead
And base everything
On right now
Cause if we dont move on and start all over
We might as well end it all now
[chorus]
[verse 3]
Why you pushing me testing me baby
Why you pushing me testing me baby
Why you trying me dogging me baby
You can trust
In me promise you baby
I love you cant you see baby
Please dont give up on me baby
I am a different man baby
Your
Love has changed this man baby
Why you dogging me baby

x Yes I am that girl x
I am that girl who is wanted
I am that girl who understands people
I am that girl who tells the truth
I am that girl who you can tell your secrets to
I am that girl whose heart has been broken
I am that girl who finishes fights
I am that girl who still studies her books
I am that girl who is a typical teenager
I am that girl who liver in west London
I am that girl who’s always friendly
I am that girl who will fight for her rights
I am that girl who has planned her life
I am that girl who respects everyone for who they are
I am that girl who will tell you it how it is
I am that girl who makes her own decisions
I am that girl who regrets things
I am that girl who wanted to still be with you today
I am that girl who still day dreams about you
I am that girl who you can turn to
I am that girl who will regret loving you
I am that girl who has always protected you
I am that girl who will give you advice
I am that girl whose heart has been broken by you
I am that girl who once wanted you
I am that girl who once needed you
I am that girl who once was dreaming of you
I am that girl who was once speaking about you
I am that girl who has dreams about you
I am that girl who you can call when you’re feeling down
I am that girl who wants you back in her live
I am that girl who once wanted to give her love away to you
I am that girl who once thought you was her everything

Give The Kid A Break
Don't know why I'm down here
Must be something I said
Or some small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
Don't know why I'm down here
Don't reserve to roast or bake
I'm fighting off slanderous allegations
Why don't you give the kid a break?
You don't think maybe we could talk this over
You're a reasonable man
Could we discuss my grave situation
I'm a miserable man
And I'm in the frying pan
Give the kid a break
Give me one good reason why I should
All right, all right, so I made a few mistakes
But for heaven's sake
Watch your language, Kid.
OK, OK, don't get hot
Don't question my judgement
He only reaped what he sowed
He cast his pearls before swine
And that's good enough for me
I don't want to talk it over
Even tho' I'm a reasonable man
Sonny, from over here
Looks like you're in no position to bargain
You're a convicted man
You're right in the frying pan
Give the kid a break
Please give me a break
Give the kid a break
Nah nah, I don't think so, man
Come on, you know I got what it takes
Can't you give me a break?
Sure thing kid, when hell freezes over
Ok, don't give the kid a break
Hey you guys, I thought you were on my side
No they don't
Give the kid a break
Yeah, well thanks a lot, pals
Listen boss, maybe we can make a little deal
Isn't there anything I can say
Or some kind of fine I can pay
Something
Don't know why I'm down here
Must be something I said (I'm sorry)
Or some small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
It might be some infection
It might be a small imperfection or a clear case of misdirection
It must be a small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
Give the kid a break

You Helped...
Dad... Mom told you
she told you she was leaving
She told you she was taking us
She told you she was sick of the pain
She told you she was sick of the fighting
So was I
I was sick of the fighting
Sick of the leaving in the middle of the night
Sick of consouling my mother day after day
Sick of hearing you cry about the mistakes you made
Sick of the life you just let drift away
I was your little girl
I was your rock and stone
I was not enough to stop picking up the weed
Daddy its not the fact you didnt try hard with mommy
But I wasnt enough to keep it from happening
Daddy im not your little girl..
Im a bigger person than you...

Dont Give That Girl A Gun
Shes got a case against me
A jury of my peers
And the rage of the righteous
Screaming in her ears
Im not dignified anymore
I cant say I didnt call
I say I love you
She dont hear me anymore
And dont give that girl a gun
I said now dont give that girl a gun
Shes already won/one
Shes already won/one
I made a bad connection
She says I went astray
I jumped ship abandoned my post
I didnt think I lost my way
But oh how the mighty fall
I saw her crack a smile
I dont got a chance for redemption
She dont believe in the miracle mile
So take the first shot baby itll be real clean
Im your girl strong and mean
Second shot baby itll be real cool
Im your fool
I said now dont give that girl a gun
I said now dont give that girl a gun

Ever will again

Dont give up so easy, love is really worth the fight
Tenderness and passion

You get going when the going gets tough
Keep it up now or love will leave you standing
Keep loving cos youll never get enough
Keep fighting for your true love
With the best will in the world

Everything they dreamt of right there in each others arms
Theyve just got to make it yeah
With all the will in all the world
All the will in the world
After all youve been through, since you got this far
Now the dust has settled, have you really won her heart?
How do you compare to
All the other lovers in the world?
Take a little time to iron out a difference
Dont let your temper get in your way
You got to count to ten and exercise some patience
A little understanding goes a long long way
Keep fighting for your true love
With the best will in the world
Reach out for the stars above
With the best will in the world
Start with intoductions, something in her glance
Sets your heart aflutter
Makes you want to take a chance
Maybe shes the right one, like the only girl in all the world
You never knew, till love came looking for you
You thought that youd never find it
Now that shes here
Now theres no doubt that its true
Now its for real
Now you can win with, all the will in the world
All the will in the world

Trainwrecks
i think sometimes it takes trainwrecks,
before we'll sit down and look at, really look at,
who we are, what we are, and what we've become.
and i've had more than my share of trainwrecks....
often we bring them on ourselves, but sometimes
we have help...
it is the nature of life now that we get used, abused,
betrayed, and tormented....it makes one wonder how
much of that goes on inside us...
for the real battle is always within.
all the good and evil, all the hatreds, all the love,
all the wars, all injustices, human consciousness,
peace, and equality... all begin and end within us.
read a quote the other day... forgot who said it, that
went something like, '...there are people so good they
could never harm or kill anyone. i'm not one of them.
i wish i was... but i have to work at it.' and i understood!
i did a lot of things, especially when i was younger, that
i regret. and i paid the price.
i've made a lot of bad decisions, worked for a lot of
unscrupulous people, that used you for what they wanted,
and dumped you.
i've lost everything i had more than once, and stand to again.
when you think you dont have anything left to lose, life has
a way of showing you different.
we too often forget the value of the small things. we forget
what really matters.
and so you get pushed in a hard corner, and you stand up
angry, ready to fight. but what you're fighting is so big
you dont know where to start.... and you're fighting a
battle you cannot win!
and part of it is that the times are hard now. we've run
out of options, we have become expendable! the sad thing
is that we let this happen. we turned our heads, and walked
in indifference.
i am not a good man, nor a bad man. i am a man!
58 years old, with health issues, still wanting to work,
still fighting for what i believe is right. i have seen and
known a depth in life that i try to live, that i try to share,
with my actions, words, and intentions.
but i've reached the point where i'm not willing to
take any more shit! if i've done the wrong thing, then i
own my mistakes. but i wont apologize for what i think
is right!
running out of time, and having a hard time finding a
bridge. but that's my problem.
again and again telling my clenched fist to open.....
waiting for a break, some ray of sun....
human,100% human!

And I'm down to lace it on you
Give me the time and the place
Just show you face
Show me the line in the race
I'll be your ace
I just wanna love you
Give me the chance to show you, I want you
[Repeat 1]
[Curtis Conway]
So listen here love, you get what you ask for
Material things are smaller'n me cuz I offer more
And won't y'all fool the teacher when I say this
Willing to do what it takes honey
Just to get in the mix with you
So listen, boo, picture me and you
Candlelight dinner for two, romantic rondevous
You only live once, don't miss a chance of a lifetime
You want the world and I'll give it
Because it's all mine
[Repeat 1 until fade]

Would you like me to give you a formula for...success It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure... You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all... You can be discouraged by failure--or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side.

My Leaving Gift, My Prayer
As I prepare to leave I ask myself
What does it mean if I do not get a gift?
What does it mean?
How will I feel?
It means no one cares
No one likes you
I can only expect to get back what I give
Feeling scared as this answer reached me
I say a prayer that it should reach you
I should learn to give more
I hope that I can accept the truth, regret my mistakes, learn from them and hope to change
Hope to be better, hope to be stronger
I hope that I can stay strong, grow into myself and expand out of myself
To doubt myself less and enjoy the good in some
I hope not to conform to a world that does not see me as I am but as I should be
To sympathise with people who see me as different and fear me for it
Who wish I would be just like them so that things would be easy for them
So that they do not have to try so hard to understand the things they are not used to
I hope to believe there is good and seek it out where it can be found
To open myself
For when I am open I can give and receive
As an open bottle can be poured from and filled
