Sometimes I wish I were not a part of you
========================================== ================

My feet are pinched
With needles.
Your hands are not there.

I try to relieve myself from pain.
It is not happening.
There is no miracle.
There is no cure.

The world is a big space.
I can leave anytime and
Take the shape
Of air.

I can be gone.
How come that I become
A part of you
And her?

I do not remember myself coming
Here and sitting on this chair.
Fate.
Cruel fate.
I want to leave but I cannot go
I do not want to stay but I am staying.

How I wish I were not a part
Of this mess:
This cruelty inflicted
From your hand
To my hand.

How I wish I were
Someone else

Here I am.
I am your hair to your head.
Your fingers to your hand.
Your toes to your feet.

I guess. We must learn to live
With each other.
Dislikes disregarded
We begin
Our silent wars.

Run Away

Remember I'm the one who didn't have a lot to say
I was trying to find the courage, but I let you walk away
And I can't forget your face, y'know it haunts me all the time
And it seems to me you're living in a dream
Wish we could run away, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, runaway, what I want to say is
You're a part of me, let me be a part of you
I want to tell you what I'm thinking, but the words get in the way
When I'm sitting here alone I find the things I meant to say
If I wrote them in a letter, would you read between the lines
Would you understand how much I really care
Wish we could run away, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, runaway, what I want to say is
You're a part of me, let me be a part of you
[I] I love you
[Need] I need you
[You] Don't want to live without you
If I'm backward counting forward, would you help me realize
All the answers to the questions I've been asking with my eyes
I could hand you all the cliches, but you've heard them all before
And I want to say I love you in my own way
And could we run away, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, runaway, what I want to say is
You're a part of me, let me be a part of you
Runaway, runaway, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, I love you, I need you
What I want to say is, I want you
You're a, I love you, part of me, I need you
Let me be a part of you

In A Box

I live in a box down the street
My hands are cold and so are my feet
Would I digust you?
If I asked you for something to eat
Or a hand out or up
Shoes for my feet
I know I don't look as good as you
But I know the Lord loves me
As much as you
I don't blame anyone for the life I lead
Part is my fault, part from greed
For if the world would begin to care
There would be enough for all to share
No one would never have the need
To live in a box
Or hold a sign on the street,
To be able to eat

Hand-Me-Down!

got my hand-me-down boots,
and my hand-me-down jeans.
my broke down hand-me-down hat,
doing hand-me-down things.

my hand-me-down fire,
and my hand-me-down pot.
take a hand-me-down chair,
i'll share what i've got.

got some hand-me-down thoughts,
a couple of hand-me-down songs.
i've got a hand-me-down heart
that wont leave you alone.

we'll talk about hand-me-down freedom,
and hand-me-down truth....
in this hand-me-down world,
it's just me and you!

in this hand-me-down world....
paying hand-me-down dues!

Hold My Hand

With a little love, and some tenderness
Well walk upon the water
Well rise above this mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
Well take the world together
Well take em by the hand
cause Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair
I said get up, and let me see you smile
Well take a walk together
Walk the road awhile, cause
cause Ive got a hand for you
Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Wont you let me run with you? yeah
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can
See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
I dont wanna be part of your problems
Dont wanna be part of your crowd, no
cause Ive got a hand for you
Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Ah, wont you let me run with you?
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we cant change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I...oh...no, no, no, no, no
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we cant change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, best that I can
Oh, the best that I can

A Rusty Nail

I ran a nail into my hand,
The wound was hard to heal;
So bitter was the pain to stand
I thought how it would feel,
To have spikes thrust through hands and feet,
Impaled by hammer beat.

Then hoisted on a cross of oak
Against the sullen sky,
With all about the jeering follk
Who joyed to see me die;
Die hardly in insensate heat,
With bleeding hands and feet.

Yet was it not that day of Fate,
Of cruelty insane,
Climaxing centuries of hate
That woke our souls to pain!
And are we not the living seed
Of those who did the deed!

Of course, with thankful heart I know
We are not fiends as then;
And in a thousand years or so
We may be gentle men.
But it has cost a poisoned hand,
And pain beyond a cry,
To make me strangely understand
A Cross against the sky.

Don't Confuse The Issue At Hand

This 'thing' ain't whirling around in space 'cause you on it.
You are part of it.
'You' are not 'it'.
But...
Wait a minute.
Let me re-think this.
hmmm
Let's see.
IF you 'are' part of it...
Wouldn't that make you all of it as well?
Or part of the whole?
Since the whole is part of you?

'I've been trying to tell you...
This is 'my' world.
It's yours too, ain't it? '

Well...
YEAH!

'Then what are you talking about when you say,
'IT ain't all about me?
Then 'who' and 'what' is 'this' all about? '

Don't confuse the issue at hand.
You always think you know so much.
And want everything your way!

'Didn't we just agree,
That this is 'my' world? '

Well...
Not 'all' of it!

'Then what part of my world don't you exist in?
What percentage of it is yours? '

Let's just dropp this.
We're not getting anywhere.

'I beg to differ.
Now as I was saying...
I'll drive my folks place,
And then we'll grab a bite to eat! '

Always

I know that you feel like leavin
We cant seem to get along
I know you are the only one for me
My everything
You are all that a girl could wish for
I couldnt ask for more
We dont need to argue about silly things
Anymore
Remember all of the good times
Think about it for awhile
I would be incomplete without you in my life
Tell me
You cant leave
You will always be a part of me, baby
Wherever you go
You will always be a part of me
Always
Sometimes we say things we dont mean
Like we should go our separate ways
Not considering the love and time that we shared together
I be feeling like youre really afraid
To love me as I love you
Let me live inside of your love freely, yeah
Remember all of the good times
Think about it for awhile
I would be incomplete without you in my life
Tell me
You cant leave
You will always be a part of me, baby
Wherever you go
You will always be a part of me
Always
Tell me
You cant leave
You will always be a part of me, baby
Wherever you go
You will always be a part of me
Always
At night I wish upon a star
And hope that you are near, not far
And that you are loving me
Always
And when I lay me down to sleep
I pray that our love will always keep
And that you are loving me, yeah
Dont ever let me go, oh babe
Always
Without you there is no me
What am I suppose to do, tell me
Tell me
You cant leave
You will always be a part of me, baby
Wherever you go
You will always be a part of me
Always
Tell me
You cant leave
You will always be a part of me, baby
Wherever you go
You will always be a part of me
Always
Tell me
You cant leave
You will always be a part of me, baby
Wherever you go
You will always be a part of me
Always
Im sorry
Give me one night of holding you close, baby
Oh yeah (always)

Fix My Heart

I don't want to go home
I'm feeling like a ghost
I'm falling all apart
Could you please fix my heart?
Why don't we leave this old town?
A new world waits to be seen
Give me a reason to stay
I'm not afraid to live
Tell me now...
What do you read in my hand?
Please don't spell me wrong
What is going on?
Tell me now...
What is seen from my hand?
I know what is true
Nothing's really new
Why don't we leave this old town?
A new world waits to be seen
Give me a reason to stay
I'm not afraid to live...
Tell me now...
All my will and destiny
Won't erase my hand
It won't change my plans
Tell me now...
What could be the best for me?
It's always been the same
I'm running like a train
I don't want to go home
I'm feeling like a ghost
I'm falling all apart
Could you please fix my heart?
Why don't we leave this old town?
A new world waits to be seen
Give me a reason to stay
I'm not afraid to live
Here we go...
No one said it was easy
I'm on my feet again
A ticket in my hand
Here we go

When Your Hand Of Friendship Is Brushed Aside

say thank you

try extending your hand to another hand
to the other thousand hands in this world who need other hands
those with love in their hearts those with minds still believing in friendship

tell yourself she does not deserve your offer
assure yourself she is another ghost
another virtuality
another waste
a junk

without a name without a soul without a face
extend your hand to another hand with real fingers on them
and try seeing yourself in the mirror
you still have that reflection and that ghost does not have any
be glad
you are real and she isn't

does she think that you have pain and that you need her friendship badly
such that you want to bow before her like she is the goddess of beauty
and wisdom and truth?

let her be. She is not a part of you.
why bother?

be yourself and keep that hands of friendship warm
for another one who needs it too

let the gods reign in the heavens. They live in their clouds
stay on earth and be the river for the fishes to swim
for the strangers to drink with the cup of their hands for them to quench
their thirsts

let your hands of friendshipsbe the seeds of springs
the flowers of summers
that bloom forever
let your scent spread for those who still need them

and let these gods remain as gods
because they shall always be worshipped as loveless strangers of this earth

A Helping Hand

Give me a hand to help me up.
I'm tired of being down.
Give me a hand to help me up.
I'd like to live uptown.

All I have known since my very first breath
is pain and misery.
I'm so weary, people of the world.
How come you can't see?

I've never worn a fancy gown
like the girls that live up-town.
All I've had are hand me downs
that are part of my shantytown.

Please give me a hand to help me up.
I fear that I may die
not ever knowing what it's like
or ever understanding why?

Distant

that guy over there
that woman waiting in that corner
that child sitting at the edge of this bus station
that old man begging with a tin can on his right hand and a staff on his left
that vendor shouting for you to buy a drink and a loaf of bread
that silent man inside the bus looking nowhere
that man that woman that child without you knowing their names

they are your brothers and sisters and our children
they are you too in their bodies and faces and arms and legs and hands and toes

every part of each is a part of you
so please be careful not to choose to hurt in word and in deed and even in
thought
because at the end of all these hurting and hurling
you shall be
hurt too

I Move

i move and part air
infront of me

the air fills every empty space
i created

i leave every step
and behind me another wholeness

comes, like i part the water of the river
with my hands
my feet catch what water i parte
and then
everything is whole again

i move, therefore,
to make all emptiness full

You Gotta Believe

You must believe,
You must believe
(x2)
You gotta believe
Gotta believe, gotta believe in me
You gotta believe in me

That I wont never hurt you

I told you once before
That I love you
And I need you
But let me tell you once again
You were my closest friend
Ill never leave you
So hold me tight
All through the night
Caress me with your tender care
Anytime or anywhere

Anytime, anywhere
I will go with you anywhere
(please wont you trust me babe)
Wont you trust in me baby
Stay with me (stay, death do us part)
Till death do us part
Youll always be right in my heart
Wont you please stay with me
Baby please believe in me (please believe in me)
(x2)

Mary, mary, I hear you loud and clear
Why dont you believe in me
Tell me why you dont see
That you can put your trust in me
And let me lead the way
Please baby take my hand
I dont need another man
But if you wanna hold on tight
You cannot be afraid
(x2)

Take me boy by the hand (take me)
Let me make you understand
(make you understand)
That I can never let you down
Baby just believe in me
Take me boy by the hand (take me)
Let me make you understand
(make you understand)
That I can never let you down
Baby just believe in me
Please believe
(repeat until end)
