Great Hopes

We come to life with no great aim,
But step by step, our souls flame.
We crawl before we learn to walk.
We babble before we learn to talk.
We walk and make our first step,
With a lot of pain and a little help.
We make it then and start to run,
With too much love and too much fun.
But we are still with no great aims,
For life is still a bunch of games.
Then we grow up and pain begins,
And start to know of our sins.
We think we choose what we shall be,
But soon we change and start to see,
That we are made what we should be.
When we see that and stick to it,
We might succeed and make a hit.
Then we begin to set some goals,
Which will enrich our empty souls.
Yes hope springs eternal in the heart,
And brings us close to a head-start.
If goals are great, noble and high,
They will see light and soar so high.
So hitch your wagon to a star,
For greatness is just a step afar.

It's About Time

I shed my skin
And set aside this self-made darkness
'N walk on into the light
I'm sick of this Prison
I been calling my life
I finally found out the gates of hell are locked from the inside
Just like Moses
Headed for the Promised Land
We don't get to know where we're goin'
We only know where we've been
[Hope]
Whever you gotta start, ya start
[Faith]
Whatever you gotta leave, you leave
[Life]
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
[Love]
Sometimes you're gonna take the next best thing
[Joy]
Whatever you wanta start, ya start
[Time]
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
[Trust]
Sometimes you gotta scream
CHORUS
If it's about joy
If it's about life
If it's about love
It's about time we get started
If it's about trust
If it's about hope
If it's about us
It's about time we get started
We don't get forever
We just get now or never
To make the best or the worst of the time that we got
There's power in this groove
And I surrender to the river
It's takin' me to
I'll learn to swim
I'm getting in
I'm getting wet
I may be drownin'
But I ain't dead yet
[Hope]
Whever you gotta start, ya start
[Faith]
Whatever you gotta leave, you leave
[Life]
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
[Love]
Sometimes you're gonna take the next best thing
[Joy]
Whatever you wanta start, ya start
[Time]
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
[Trust]
Sometimes you gotta scream
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh baby
It's all right
You only gotta face yourself
To make it to the other side
Oh baby you don't know what you'll find
Til you tear down those walls
And make up your mind
REPEAT CHORUS
I been tryin'
Prayin' cryin
Lord, what's it gonna take
Step by step you go on
Knowin' that you hold on
It's just about time

New Beginning

The whole worlds broke and it aint worth fixing
Its time to start all over, make a new beginning
Theres too much pain, too much suffering
Lets resolve to start all over make a new beginning
Now dont get me wrong - I love life and living
But when you wake up and look around at everything thats going down -
All wrong
You see we need to change it now, this world with too few happy endings
We can resolve to start all over make a new beginning
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
The world is broken into fragments and pieces
That once were joined together in a unified whole
But now too many stand alone - theres too much separation
We can resolve to come together in the new beginning
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
We can break the cycle - we can break the chain
We can start all over - in the new beginning
We can learn, we can teach
We can share the myths the dream the prayer
The notion that we can do better
Change our lives and paths
Create a new world and
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
The whole worlds broke and it aint worth fixing
Its time to start all over, make a new beginning
Theres too much fighting, too little understanding
Its time to stop and start all over
Make a new beginning
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
We need to make new symbols
Make new signs
Make a new language
With these well define the world
And start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over ...

Life

Life is a beautiful place,
It is how you make it to be.

Life is about believing in
yourself,
This is your life and what
you choose to do with your
life is up to you.

You respect others and they
will respect you too.

Life is never all that easy,
We learn to simply grow
strong and grow wise each
day.

We learn through our mistakes,
That is how we simply turn them
around and start over again.

Life is precious as you are,
Keep the faith and never
let go.

Life has many mysteries for us
to solve,
That is why we learn to put the
pieces of the puzzle together.

When goals are completed we know
we have earned a big star,
We all walk proud knowing we have
done well.

Life has a powerful meaning,
We all must always feel proud to
walk this earth.

Life has has given to many of us,
A chance to live, laugh
and to learn.

Remember, life is too short
to feel grumpy,
We learn to turn that grumpy
little frown into happiness.

Baby Step Back

Now it looks to me like the same old place
In the sky it looks like rain
The same old town with the same old streets
The address has not change
You can find me there
With the door shut tight
And the one wish that remains
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
No you know I dont write no bad checks
I have no wish to repent
Ive seen a few
But whatever I do
I dont cause no accidents
Whiskey and wine help me pass the time
I dont leave no evidence
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Still I dont kneel down
I was born to fight
So youd best leave me alone
Maybe Ill get much more than I need
Or much less than I should own
Last of all let me say it again
Either step up or step on
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Baby walk back baby walk back
Either walk on or walk back
Baby step back ...

I Just Want to Say 'Hello' Then Step

You may claim not to know my name.
But I remember,
You're the same 'old' you.
And if our love had remained...
You would take away my memory too.

But I,
Am not...
Gonna play those stale games again!
I just want to say 'hello'
Then step!
I don't want to start,
Anything I'll later regret!

You claim not to be a part,
Of a past that broke your heart!

Well,
I feel the same as you do.
I am not going to bring up,
All the things we both have gone through.

But I,
Am not...
Gonna play those stale games again.
I just want to say 'hello' then step!
I don't want to start anything,
I'll later regret.

No I,
Am not...
Gonna play those games again.
I just want to say 'hello',
Then step!
I don't want to start anything upon the scene,
I'll later regret...
To undo!

Kick Start

We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going

We sit on our couch
While we watch our TV
And the phone doesn't ring
And it's perfect

To be here playing house
Is no comfort to me
It's just more of the same
Again and again and again

We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going

Trying so hard
To dig ourselves out
Cause we're stuck and we're scared
And we're thinking
Things have to change
It's the thoughts that don't count
Can something be done?
Don't let this decision drag on

We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going

We need a big push
To reach the right conclusion
So we can get there
If we're really going
If we're really going
Let's go.

We need a quick solution
We need a next step
To reach the right conclusion
We need a kick start
We need a kick start

What's Up

25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realised quickly when i knew i should
That the world was made up of this
Brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
So i cry sometimes when i'm lying in bed
To get it all out what's in my head
Then i start feeling a little peculiar
So i wake in the morning and i step
Outside i take deep breath
I get real high
Then i scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on
And i say hey...
And i say hey what's goin' on
And i say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
And i try, oh my god do i try
I try all the time
In this institution
And i pray, oh my god do i pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
So i cry sometimes when i'm lying in my bed
To get it all out what's in my head
Then i start feeling a little peculiar
So i wake in the morning and i step outside
I take a deep breath then i get real high
Then i scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on
And i say hey...
And i said hey what's goin' on
And i say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
And i say hey...
And i said hey what's goin' on
And i say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

No Step

I looked out of my window, saw a stencil black,
No step. no step.
There were nervous mothers with children crying in the back.
No step. no step.
Someone bought me my ticket, now Im on the wing.
Hope my angels are watching me, do I hear them sing?
No step. no step.
Those afterburners cut in and kicked us high.
No step. no step.
The thin air shimmered, the sun cut through and burned my eye.
No step. no step.
Someone bought me my ticket, now Im on the wing.
Hope my angels are watching me, do I hear them sing?
No step.
No step no step.
No step no step.
No step no step.
Give me a jet stream schooner or a crew-legged goose.
No step. no step.
Im a clear-air jockey when they turn me loose
No step. no step.
Someone bought me my ticket to the captains seat.
Will the shakes soon leave me, will I find my feet?
No step. no step.
No step. no step.
No step.

So I Can Smile Again

Show me the point of the surise

So I can trace my path to the point of the sunset

It pays me more this way in life

So I can never miss my path to success again

Show me the goodness of love

One by one, day after day

I could love all around, again and again

And see the goodness so great I‘ve come to realise

Show me the way to greatness

I would strive so hard

To make it so great on my own

Just with a guide or two from you my friends

So I can smile again

In all adversities and give thanks to you

The one most high above

See me so filled with life day after day

So I can smile again

In times of plenty

And struggle so hard in times of few

Step after step, I could build a lasting edifice you know

So I can smile again

And walk so majestically and gracefully

With all my achievements this far

Still hoping I could lend a helping hand when the need arises

So I can smile again

And walk up to you, my friends in Diaspora

With my hands so wide to embrace all

Peace is all we need and one world we must choose to remain

So I can simile again

After each blessing I receive from you, my Lord

Just can’t thank you enough

But a promise I‘ve made to be yours forever

The Gordon Back Step (Fun Poem 102)

Lets all do the Gordon back step.
We will make a decision
and when that falls flat
we will all step back
and apologize for that
and do the Gordon back step
like our Prime Minister likes to do.
I am sure it would make
a great dance to do.
First, make a decision
as daft as the last one you made.
Step forward with a proposal
and watch out for the no’s to the left.
Then step back and apologize for that
and do the Gordon back step.
It is so easy to do
or at least our Prime Minister
makes it look that way.

It’s All up To You

Take this time of life
And make it come to reality
So much still to strife
Before one can be free
Everything is so slow
In its own simple way
But you must try to go
Through to the next day

Take ability make it strong
You are behind it all
Here is a simple song
To just start that call
You are just what you are
Nothing then more you’ll start
You could become a star
If you have a beat and heart

Take a step and further bring
To anyway you may go
Here is a lyric out to sing
Whatever you know
It might be dreams just still
But you can give it a try
With promises to fulfill
To go on to its steady high
Here is a lyric to make
Any words can do
Come on lets now awake
It’s all up to you

Take ability make it strong
Make it all come out now
You have feelings to long
You will manage somehow
This is all you need to do
And push a little harder
This song was made for you
As your beginning starter

Take this time of life
And make it come to reality
So much still to strife
Before one can be free
Everything is so slow
In its own simple way
But you must try to go
Through to the next day

Take a step and further bring
To anyway you may go
Here is a lyric out to sing
Whatever you know
It might be dreams just still
But you can give it a try
With promises to fulfill
To go on to its steady high
Here is a lyric to make
Any words can do
Come on lets now awake
It’s all up to you

It’s all up to you

Lady Of The Lake 2

I saw the old lady
again today
the one who lives
across the way

She took my hand
and walked me
towards the light

It was so beautiful and bright
heavenly souls all waiting in a line
but I had to close my eyes
and turn away

The old lady said
don't go back into the dark
it's time to start a new life
with souls of the same heart

I said
I've got to stay behind
and watch over my daughters life
I trust nobody but me and
her mother to make sure
she has a good start in life
so I will walk on the dark side
to be by her side

when she's made her life
and I know she's happy inside
I will come to the light

Walking On The Edge

Music :rudolf schenker
Lyrics:klaus meine
Welcome to a trip
Into my hurt feelings
To the center of my soul
You better bring a light
To find the house of meanings
In the labyrinth of yeas or no
For you, life is just like chess
If you dont make a move
Youll lose the game like this
Cause you, youre walking on the edge
You, you chose the way of love and pain
You, dont you see the bridge
Ive built for you, its just one step to start again
Welcome to a trip
Into my emotions
To the language of my heart
Youre sailing on a river
That becomes an ocean
Which you can only cross with love
For you, life is just like chess
If you dont make a move
Youll lose the game like this
Cause you, youre walking on the edge
You, you chose the way of love and pain
You, dont you see the bridge
Ive built for you, its just one step to start again

Twelve Steps

Does anyone

Have a twelve step plan

For me to get over my lover?

Forget her?

But I can't.

Get angry with her?

But I'd rather recant.

Get angry with myself?

But I'd rather not rant.

Find another lover?

But lovers are scant.

Become a yogi?

But I'd rather eat fire ants.

Realize I am better off without her?

But I ain't.

Make myself better?

But I don't.

Make myself more mature?

But I am already out to pasture.

Focus on helping others?

But others don't listen to my chants.

Start exercising like crazy?

But I am too lazy.

Start praying about my sins?

But I am an atheist.

Ask others for help?

That to you I will grant.

Does anyone have a twelve step plan

For me? .

Blazer of Blades

accept all the pain, ready to surf the horizon of infinity
of life, always on the go, forward of what will be the best
to come, just be strong of whom you believe, who you are
is all in you in the aspect of life

it’s the steps that you walk will brings your limit, its your
stamina that tells you what to do, be wise and mighty for
each day is the arena of reality, for in every move is a
judgments to see

as we go we fall as you fall we grow, that’s what we
created for, the life you always live is the life we always
give it is, in exploring within us that you learn the
pathways to what you will become to be, life has no
blueprint, we are almost at the end, where another
beginning is to start

always looks the past for in every memory it takes is
a step that guides you to reach the future, it is not the
steps that matter in your way it’s the will to do, whether
you have fall down many times or you achieved your goal

the best of yours of doing is the best you can offered to
God who lifted you high, it is here that knowing the
meaning of what is life everlasting is then the true essence
of your existence

Lifes highway code...

We are each on our own great journey,
Along the highway of life we travel.
There are many paths that we can choose,
And we watch as our choices unravel.

We all reach crossroads on our journey,
But which way should we proceed?
The choices we make and direction we take,
Should equal our hearts deepest need.

With no signs or markings no clues or pointers,
To help us choose our track.
Once travelling that road the choice is made,
There's no point in looking back.

But more junctions and sliproads lay ahead for us,
Our choices are never an ending.
If we take a wrong turn we can correct our mistake,
A new choice is always pending.

Sometimes our soul's touch and we travel together,
Down the highway of our life.
Along unmarked paths together we walk,
When united we can conquer any strife.

Each step we take a memory we make,
That teaches us countless things.
The further we go the wiser we grow,
As we learn what the future brings.

So journey with hope through an ever changing world,
Along this lifes great road.
When we spread peace and love this lesson we learn,
We should obey lifes highway code...

Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Yes, you.

If you have a voice
And you choose not to use it
Because it is convenient…
Because your image reflects
A check mark…
A stamp from the small souls
On the surface of your head...
Then please reexamine it
From the inside.
Do not try to further build an image
By visiting a country in the great continent…
The problem is right here, darlings…
As soon as you step on their ground
And play nice…
They can see right through you.
Because you are representing
The small souls that destroyed their mother land.
So stop building a nice image for yourself
Your shiny ego…
And start questioning the root of the pain.

If you're climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at a time. Don't look too far up, set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don't think you're progressing until you step back and see how high you've really gone.

Another Step (Closer To You)

Never, ever felt this way before
You are the one that I'am craving for
Another step nearer your heart
Another step closer to knowing you
Another step nearer your heart
I'm on my way
I never thought it could happen
Being close to someone like you
But you know this isn't just a minute affair
If we make time and take a lot of care
I love everything about it
There's such a good fell about it
And I know where I'm gonna be
If you take a step closer to me
I couldn't even describe it
Though I tried I couldn't find the words
When you're stumbling through life
And love is one step away
Carry on or do you stay
We've got to promise faithfully
To hang on to each other and never leave
That's the way love's gonna be
If you take a step closer to me - come on now
The only way to deal with affairs of the heart
You've got to jump right in, doesn't matter who starts
Take a step nearer, come over here
Together we can make it tonight
