tomorrow is another day
where you mark another boundary of awareness
your mind adds another layer
the layers of the past like onions that you peel
with your fingers
your eyes staring
taking each peeled reality as a must
the tears fall
your eyes dry
tomorrow you shall say thank you
you have lived and shall live some more
you shall be sorry for those who died
for those who left you
empty halls and empty rooms
you have more reasons to live and continue
what they have really wanted to do
but didn't have the time
hastily cut and utterly wasted by untimely deaths
tomorrow my friend
you must start wearing beautiful eyes those that smile
those that must assure the world
about a fulfillment of its dreams and wishes
those that must affirm beauty and wisdom and truth
shed off old skins and take the new ones
a brave mind, a calm spirit, a determined body
take a self that can hold much
because others are weak and failing
look out for dreams that shall make you whole
gather the fragments, make this mosaic of love and happiness
take the petals of happy moments one by one in your hands
put them in the bowl of your emptiness
put there the cool waters of your composure
take all sense and scents and sit in solitude
be not disturbed about sadness and insecurities
all these are now under the soles of your feet
all these are now taking their own defeat
you stand facing the sun, brave and bold
there is more to hold and to mold
there is more to be done in this world
there is more to be written and spoken to behold!
(happy birthday, one day more, another destiny)

Happy Birthday
You know it doesnt make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
And Im sure you would agree
It couldnt fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
I just never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
That they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring
For in peace our hearts will sing
Thanks to martin luther king
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Why has there never been a holiday
Where peace is celebrated
All throughout the world
The time is overdue
For people like me and you
Who know the way to truth
Is love and unity to all gods children
It should never be a great event
And the whole day should be spent
In full remembrance
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
So let us all begin
We know that love can win
Let it out dont hold it in
Sing it loud as you can
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Ooh yeah
Happy birthday...
We know the key to unify all people
Is in the dream that you had so long ago
That lives in all of the hearts of people
That believe in unity
Well make the dream become a reality
I know we will
Because our hearts tell us so

Make Tomorrow
Put on the dress in which you were married
Pull down the veil til your eyes are hid
Can you remember where we both came from
Let us do as we did
Look at tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow today
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow today
Put back the photo under your window
Put down the phone that you hold in your hand
Put away these things that stand in between us
Let us be what we can
When it seems
Hopeless
When it seems
Hopeless
Make tomorrow

What better measure of what you were doing here
Then what you can leave behind
All the children of your children's children
Do you ever think what they're going to find
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow
Where the sacred meet the scared
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow
Where the dreamer's dream is dared
In each of us
A dream can burn like the sun
Let's try it all one more time
To get this lesson learned
Sitting up in a spaceship
Looking down at the earth
You wonder what they all stuggling for
What's it all really worth
Making tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow

Day's
Yesterday It has came and gone
Once again secretly it has left us behind
Now all we have is regrets and past wishes
And the many dreams we never did find.
Those days are now part of our memory
While we might think back to why didn't I
But then remorse we will always remember
While we always question ourselves just why.
Tomorrow it will never be here
As tomorrow will always be tomorrow
That is were we put our dreams and our hopes
And where we escape from our sadness and sorrow.
It is the days that we do dread
And the days that we hope and pray to arrive
Where love is held and deadlines our met
But some how they never do survive.
Today is all that we are guaranteed
As we are promised no future or even past
We are here now so we much cherish that
As in the end that is all that might ever last.
We must live and learn by the day
So we must enjoy every second that we live
Never to put off till tomorrow do it today
As today is the only day that we hold captive.

Beauty today, Ugly tomorrow
Beauty and ugliness everywhere
Beauty in the eyes and mind of the admirer
Ugliness in the eyes and mind of the hater
Transformational reconstruction everywhere,
Driven by muscle and led by mind,
Tomorrow's eyes do not see the same as Yesterday's
Beauty today, ugly tomorrow
No guarantee beauty today will be beauty tomorrow
No guarantee ugliness today will be ugliness tomorrow
No guarantee structures standing today will be standing tomorrow
The world is beautiful by mankind
Man is forever in the chase of dirt
Today I live on my terms, tomorrow I watch and smile or cry
Today may look like tomorrow if wishes were horses
Tomorrow is uncertain
Everything in it is uncertain
Our wish ends in our hearts and minds
Our wish is castles in the air except today,
It is imaginary with no contract for reality
The brain is jelly in the minds of progeny
Our wish is noble in our minds,
Our wish is liquid in the minds of progeny
Today's life is dirt and gold like tomorrow it will be,
Today, tomorrow, yesterday, life is the same,
One purpose for living but different states, tastes and times,
Change is forever rolling by, spicing up states, tastes and times,
A turning wheel with no end
Milestones flashing past, no distance covered,

Where Is Tomorrow
Written by orbison/dees.
Where is tomorrow? an island of dreams.
Where is tomorrow? flying on golden wings,tomorrow.
Where is tomorrow? the end of time.
Where is tomorrow.youre no longer mine.
Tomorrow, tomorrow.Ill get over you.
Tomorrow,tomorrow.when tomorrow comes,
Then Ill stop loving you,tomorrow.
Where is tomorrow? tomorrow is gone.
Gone losting stardust,hiding from the dawn.
Tomorrow,tomorrow.tomorrow.
I long for tomorrow.Ill be strong tomorrow.
I want cry for you tomorrow.

The Working Man
Close your eyes my weary one
Rest your head and sleep
Although your day is done
Tomorrow, you might sit and weep.
Because outside your window,
There stand many barren trees
Looking like the empty hopes,
With the leaves, dying like dreams.
I have live many years
Seen and shed many tears,
With bloody hands and busted bones,
And I have heard, that painful moan.
So rest your head my tired Man
And close your eyes and cry,
Because many families I have seen fed,
When only the Fathers had died.
And I have seen the working man
Working hard with other men at their side,
While fighting to protect and defend what they own
With only GOD, upon their side.
So close you're eyes a father
Clasp your hands together and pray,
Pray for your wife and for your Children
And pray to greet them another day.
As we have fought the battles
To put our country back on her feet
But now again, we are forsaken
So close your eyes, and weep.
But then their is your Family
And the home where you do live,
Be proud you were there when tomorrow came
And many will be proud, that you had lived.
Open your eyes my weary one
Stand up and clap your hand
Be proud of what that you have built
But be prouder because you are a working Man.
So give a laugh and and then give a cheer
For together once again we made our stand,
And forget about your worries and your fears
Because GOD does not forsake, a working Man.

Lay Me Down
Lay Down
By MaKayla Straight
I lay my head down peacefully
Knowing that this is the last night I live
I close my eyes
And think about all the good things that has happened to me
I try to hide my tears
Though I do not know why I hide them
Nobody is around here to see
See that these are really happy tears
Happy because I know that I have lived my life the way I wanted too.
I was not in chains my whole life
I figured how to break the spell
I know I am not beautiful
I know I am not perfect
I know there is not much about me
I know
I know
I know
Lying in bed makes me realize it
Lying in bed makes me feel so truthful with myself
Lying in bed for the last night feels such a relief
Nobody would understand that this is by far the best night
Only because I know that my suffering is done.
I can finally smile and mean it
No more fake smiles
I lay down for the last time
I close my eyes and start counting backwards from one hundred
I get to fifty and my tears start to pour down my cheek.
I am so glad this is the last day
Last day forever
I continue to count.
I finally get to ten
I take a deep breath and close my eyes
Three
Two
One
I am finally at peace with myself and the world
I float on up to heaven
To be with all the ones I have lost in the past
I slowly go
With a smile upon my face
My mind and my soul are up in heaven
But my body is lying down on my bed
With a smile upon my face
Everybody will know that I have died Happy

Maybe it's a last beautiful day..
When you left me, i felt lonely like never before
i wished if i can walk with you to the shore
hold your hands a little, talk about night a little
walk steps with you a little and love you a little
Lets forget everything, everything that surrounds
and look at me like it is only me around
sit on the broken walls of the beach
and watch ship sailing off the reach
And you love me like maybe its a last day we're together
you hold me like maybe it is a last day we live together
Tomorrow perhaps a new again will dawn
or perhaps these dreams of tomorrow will be foregone
so let me love you and know no one else but you
time is sieving off my fingers and left is just a few
Maybe it is a day when the days will die
maybe it is a day when we together will die
let us not let this precious time flow like winds of east
in your arms when my life, my time will be ceased
And you love me like maybe its a last day we're together
you hold me like maybe it is a last day we live together
Love me like you never loved any one else O my sun of may
Maybe it is a last beautiful day

Tomorrow Is Now
Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now
You think the past is behind you
But baby whats that on your back
It looks to me like youre draggin it around
Like a heavy pack
Now we dont live in the present
Were to busy hangin on
To whats been and gone so it comes again
Singin the same old song
Singin na na-na na na
Let it go oh oh
Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now
Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now
What are you going to ask for
What are you going to create
Its in you hands to build your own world
Forget about fate
And I dont need to remind you
Life is short and life is sweet
And before you even know it
Past and future gonna meet
Oh, every day and every way
Good to go oh oh
Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now
Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now
Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now
Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now
Not much to say
Its all been said, anyway
Not much to think about
Just let go of yesterday
Singin na na-na na na
Singin na na-na na na
Let it go oh oh
Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now
Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now
Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now
Tomorrow is... tomorrow is now

Forget About Tomorrow
Calling, distorting
Reach the ends for you
Burn a hole right through
Talking, we keep talking
Filling empty space
In this lonley frame
As the image fades in to one
(chorus)
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Cant think about tomorrow
Just breathe the air inside
And bring on back that lonely smile
Cant think about tomorrow...
Twisting, constricted
On the edge for you
You know Id jump right through
Falling, we keep stalling
I can see the ground
Someplace new to land
As the image fades into one
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Cant think about tomorrow
Just breathe the air inside
And bring on back that lonely smile
Cant think about tomorrow
Cant think about tomorrow...
Because you, feel yourself
Fall apart again
You hold your face inside your aching hands
The angels tears come flooding down again
Bring us back again
Yearning, returning
To this empty street
As the city sleeps
Tearing, dispairing
As the day comes in
As the morning sings
As the image fades into one
(chorus)
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Cant think about tomorrow
Just breathe the air inside
And bring on back that lonely smile
Cant think about tomorrow
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Cant think about tomorrow (x 2)

Brave New World
Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear
I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home
Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all
Close this mind dull this brain, messiah before his fall
What you see is not real, those who know will not tell
All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now
Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh
Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth
You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dying swans twisted wings, bring this savage back home

Loves Downfall
I wish i could hold you
and make the pain go away
i wish i could tell you
the sun will rise tomorrow
and you'll still be here in my arms
staring out the window lost in time
all because you're on my mind
i love to hold on and be strong for us
but my faith is slowly sipping away
it seem i lied to my self a bit to much
to remember the truth
so as i stare you in the eyes know
i meant all what i said
but as time goes by so do we and i believe
you will move on
as this i guess is it for us
but don't cry cause your memory i will
always appreciate for the good
and the bad when we smile and we cried
so wipe your tears and say goodbye

How can I empty My Mind?
Came out that emptiness,
Bored of what I was,
Looking at the atom shining somewhere in me,
I looked at wonderful world I entered,
Looking at beauties with beautiful faces,
I was only the faceless,
Wished to have a face!
Result is what I am now,
Facing problems of having a face,
Not seen by myself!
Some say look into mirror,
But mirror showed image which is not me,
How can live this is me looking at image?
In the path I met some one,
They said ' you suffered a lot,
Empty your mind, be happy, '
But how can empty my mind,
So many fill it everyday,
Hungry faces,
thirsty minds,
Needy hands fill compassion,
lusty and greedy, selfish and cruel fill
people fill pain,
Wise one fill wisdom,
Fools fill laughter,
Friends fill it with love and smile!
How can I empty my mind,
When beauty around,
Smiling kids, playing puppies,
Jumping and running kittens,
colourful fragrant flowers,
Surrounded by bees and butterflies,
Green trees with wide hands full of fruits,
All call me to enjoy with them!
Tall standing trees and stubborn mountains,
lakes and oceans full of life,
they fill my mind as much I empty, more they fill!
I emptied mind in meditation,
But the beauty of one who filled beauty in all filled my mind,
How can empty love for that beautiful one,
Who is that beauty in all that's beautiful!
Smiling and loving people,

These Dreams
She lies on the bed
With her hands in her head
And she screams
He gets a kick out of losing the plot so it seems
He makes you all laugh so she's the one
Doing harm
But how can you fight when she's not
The one under his arm
These dreams have let you down
Take it don't break it just turn it around
These dreams won't let you down
You never stopped loving his misfortunate
Lazy ways
All the memories that you should've had
Are a cabaret haze
There's just a hole where you know he
Should've been
There's no one worse off than you
When you can't describe what you've seen
These dreams have let you down
Take it don't break it just it turn around
These dreams won't let you down
Where do you go when you're all alone
In your bed
Do you cry in your sleep cos it's
Better unsaid
Have you forgotten your past because
That's how it seems
Is it too hard to think so you edit
Your dreams
And play them back again and again
These dreams have let you down
Take it don't break it just turn it around
These dreams won't let you down
These dreams have let you down
Take it don't break it just turn it around
These dreams won't let you down
You've got tomorrow tomorrow
You've got tomorrow tomorrow
You've got tomorrow tomorrow
You've got tomorrow tomorrow
You've got tomorrow tomorrow

Whats Going On
Do you see heaven
Like I do
Or is it just me
Wanting you
Tonight Im special
Like no one else
I hope you need me
For yourself
Does it make you happy
To be so free
The times we shared
You loving me
And as you leave
And walk away
Your eyes they tell me
Someday youll stay
Whats going on here
What must we fear
To live in this fantasyland in your mind
Wholl carry the load
For dreams left untold
Can you live in this world all mine
I would walk this journey
To say goodbye
To have you close would
Make me high
All the good things
That made you see
It was the strong thing
Being with me
Chorus
Just look high above
And youll see where we should be
And if tomorrow makes
If tomorrow breaks us
Then you stand still and ill
Show you me
Like you never knew
Or is it just me
Wanting you
So as you leave
And walk away
I knew youd come back
Now lets play

Yours Forever
Here we are in the grays of winter,
Here we are just me and you,
Hold my hand,
Lets face tomorrow,
Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you
This precious time we've only borrowed,
The autumn winds have blown on through,
A quiet thought will tell our story,
Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you
Yes tomorrow still holds out its hands to you
Here some wings,
There yours forever,
And heres some dreams,
That will come true,
Take these tears, to wash away your sorrows,
Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you,
Yes tomorrow still holds out its to you,
Yes tomorrow still holds out its hands to you

What Tomorrow May Hold
Blessings in abundance
Or misery unaware
We live not know for morrow
So don’t be in a haste for it might be full of sorrow
Our subconscious leads us to mystic believe
But only thy Father has scripted tomorrows dreams
Tomorrow is just an illusion not something comprehensible
In philosophy tomorrow marks another day of ones life
In factuality it may mark the end of ones life
In reality it marks only what we wish of life
Tomorrow is just another today with expectations
Another yesterday with more revelations
It follows a trail to a treasure hunt
Another day like a baby in the womb
Crafted by someone else in advance or prior
Then by that of your own hands
Astute and sagacious in its step
Assuring for if tomorrow you see then its upon reason
Tomorrow holds enough unknown
And yet arouses the mind to seek its life
“Tomorrow I’ll do it right”
A feeble of hope
Tomorrow may not come of note
For its not by your pen its wrote
“Tomorrow I’ll say sorry”
Kerning a full stop to what’s un-right
Planned to see the end of tunnel light
For its not unto you to see morrow’s sight
“Tomorrow I’ll right the wrong”
Why do wrong when the right was easy all along
Then u wouldn’t have to leave it till tomorrow
For its not marked by you to dance to tomorrow song
What tomorrow may hold
Is only up to God to unfold

My Heart Belongs To You
My Heart Belongs to You
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers, Wednesday, August 26,2009, @ 6: 10 PM, Number 100
I am as a child clinging to their mother
You have captured my heart and I love you like no other
You have brought me joy and so much laughter
I will love you from here till ever after
Here is my life I give to you to remold
All this for you to have and to hold
I cherish the day you passed my way
Without your love I can’t make it through the day
You have brought me delight from whence there was only sadness
You have become the source of my happiness
You have brought me a fresh start a new
There is simply nothing for you I won’t do
God must have made you with me in mind
You are so special, precious, and kind
When you are away I cry all day
I would lose my mind if you left me behind
Take my heart and all I have to give
For without you I don’t even want to live
I stand here naked before your eyes
To leave you would truly be unwise
Take me darling just as I am
You are the leopard and I the lamb
Anything asked and I will fulfill
Consume me my love and do to me what you will
I will show you that I’ll always be there
Let me show you how much I care
Let me whisper softly in your ears
I will calm your wildest fears
Lie-down and let me rub your naked body with a hot scented oil
Attentive I’ll be for you I’ll truly spoil
I’ll massage your feet where it aches
I’ll lay with you till morning breaks
I will hold you until my arms go numb
You bring me excitement where there’s boredom
The angels weep for their tears fall from the sky
If ever to you I say goodbye
You are the very life within me
I would die just to hold you briefly
You are a vision of heaven to behold
Without your love I will grow old and cold
I the empty vessel without a soul
Consumed by grief my heart turns to charcoal
Weeping and wailing, I cannot be consoled
I the crazed maniac cannot be controlled
I will stay with you through the thick and the thin
I will stay with you no matter what mood you’re in
I will stay with you whenever you’re sad
I will stay with you for you are the best I ever had
My love for you cannot be defined
My love is greater than all the oceans combined
My love for you I cannot confine
My love, my world, my one and only sunshine

Shapes Of Things
Written by: j. beck
Shapes of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make men more wise
Here within my lonely frame
My eyes just heard my brain
But will it seem the same
Come tomorrow, will I be older
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier.
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Now the trees are almost green.
But will they still be seen?
When time and tide have been.
Fall into your passing hands.
Please dont destroy these lands.
Dont make them desert sands.

Soon I hope that I will find,
Thoughts deep within my mind.
That wont displace my kind
