After All Those Years....
i beg to tell you
my dear fellow human beings,
that after all those years
of loving,
time that makes us all nothing
but wrinkles,
seasons that with indifference
change,
flesh that turn to ashes,
bones that disappear,
glossiness that turn
into a rough surface,
i hate to tell you this,
before my death,
love is still, and will always be,
a word.

Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)
To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracings
To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn

Turn The Radio Off
I hate music, I hate the scene
I hate my records, I hate CDs
I hate everyone at shows, and I hate that Rock and Roll
Cuz I know that machine sucked out my soul
Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Try thinking for yourself for once in your life
I hate the music business,
it's filled with greed
it's run by old men who don't know what I need
I'm getting older fast, I hope this anger lasts
So I can have the strength to keep fighting back
Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Don't you know we're turning into zombies
Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Try thinking for yourself for once in your life.
Blah blah blah
another song about the radio
Always complaining that we hate the radio
Well it's time to start the war, now here we go
Our first mission: just don't listen
Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Don't you know we're turning into zombies
Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Try thinking for yourself for once in your life
Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Try thinking for yourself for once in your life.

Bad Reputation
You got a bad reputation
Thats the word out on the town
It gives a certain fascination
But it can only bring you down
You better turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around
You had bad breaks well thats tough luck
You play too hard too much rough stuff
Youre too sly so cold
That bad reputation has made you old
Turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around

Turn It On
Reaching to another day
And the world is just one step away
Making money, aiming blind
Its time to change - leave it all behind
Turn it on - whenever you can
Turn it on - you know that you can
Hear the echos in you heart
Turn your mind in - then - make a start
Anything you want to be
Will soon become reality - then youll see
Turn it on - whenever you can
Turn it on - you know that you can
Youre out of touch - so turn it on
You dont need much - to burn it on
Take a different point of view
And discover just what you can do
Getting closer every day
Now the world is just a step away - (dontdelay)
Turn it on - whenever you can
Turn it on - you know that you can
You hit the top - so turn it on
Youll never stop - just burn it on
Turn it on (turn it on) - whenever you can
Turn it on (groovinon) - you know that you can
Turn it on (turn it on, yeah) - whenever you can
Turn it on (just movinon) - you know that you can
Turn it on
Turn it on
Turn it on
Turn it on

What Matters!
What a transformation from innocence to eagerness!
Cheeks turning into red with lots of glow on face
The sudden appearance of lovable feelings
Search for more friendly environment and willingness
All such things happen as soon as childhood vanishes
The simple boys or girls turn into their serious wishes
The will power to execute powerful ideas into reality
Human values to turn into acceptable zone with quality
It is all that we wish to happen on large scale
We want their faces to shine with brightness before turning pale
Millions dream about their land and want to live happily
To grab any opportunity that comes on the way readily
Such is general trend but things do happen in rosy way
Youngsters make unique style of approach and pay
Special attention to attract their man of liking
Go all the way to accommodate and start striking
Large space is created to dream and wish for
Take everything in personal stride and sought for
It is this stage that makes young hearts to breath fresh
With all their aspirations to meet and cash
Seasons change and so the mind develop
All wishes just emerge and never stop
Steps move in fast and wait for someone
Knock awaited and dreamed for special one
No one can advance any reason for change
It has come all along with the blessings and age
It is his creation that makes some one to love
Bring in near to embrace and believe
All stupid acts turn into sweet memory
Freedom of movement leads to joy without worry
Where is the scope to turn it into sadness and feel sorry?
It is all that designed in such a way that it compels us to carry
Seasons, flowers and rain all that makes difference
Youngsters come to life and draw the inference
What to comment and what to write about all changes
We are all human beings to take care and manage

Word Made Flesh
Suck my breast, I'm the word made flesh
Ain't no rest for the word made flesh
My lips are moving but I hear no sound
It's that same old noise, it's in sensurround
Tune yourself up and count yourself down
Word made flesh, word made flesh
Lord help me rise to this occasion
Word made, word made flesh
I've been toiling so hard in the vineyard
Pay your debts to the word made flesh
East meets west in the word made flesh
I see you talking, but I still can't hear
Like a box of glass blocking off my ears
Turn off the charm and prey on your fears
Brainless pests for the word made flesh
Wall Street desks curse the word made flesh

But I still love you (Russian romance)
You play with me and I can see it,
Sometimes you even laugh at me,
Sometimes I hate you, dear fellow,
Sometimes I pray to be with you.
Can't find the treatment to forget you,
There are much sorrow in my heart,
Though you just show off my dear
But anyway I still love you.
So many hearts were broken by you
But you don't care and hell with you!
You never loved my dear fellow
And love is not to come with you.
My hope is only consolation,
Yes, I still hope and I endure,
You are so heartless I am sure
But anyway I still love you.
But may be time will come, my dear
And one day you will fall in love.
You'll stop to laugh, my dear fellow
And passion will excite your blood.
I'll see your sufferings, my dear,
My torments I'll make up, be sure.
I wish you just the same torments
But anyway I....still.... love you.

We think the whole world's going to change, and forget that human beings are still human beings; we have the same five senses, we still interact the same way, we still love and hate the same way, but marketers lose track of that. But then it comes down to earth.

Thought Of Loving You
The thought of loving you
The way I'm longing to
A thousand hopeful dreams I've had
Are finally coming true
I use to put you on a pedal stool
Where you became untouchable
But now we touch
And not so much is possible
Just be near to you
Would be enough for me
The many years without your love
Has been so rough on me
But now a change is taking place in me
I have found someone, who's faith in me
Has given me the strength
I needed so desperately
In my darkness, you turn on the light
My illusions vanished over night
The thought of loving you, is now reality
The thousand dreams I had
We're nowhere near to how it could be
For as we melted love so beautiful
I never felt so wonderful
The thought of loving you
The way I'm longing to
And now, right now
Right now, right now, right now

Turn It Up
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It dont ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Well youve lost all the things
That sharing could bring
Thought you were doing right
But violence and flames
And torches and chains
Are fuelling
These new northern lights
Like prisoners working
On infertile land
Took eight years
To find out the score
If youre sick then youre lonely
Out of work then youre hungry
The sentence is four years more
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It dont ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Turn it up, turn it up
Right up, right up
Who says poverty and race
Can be kept in their place
By keeping it
All underground
And ruling the country
Are unfaithful husbands
Who spank little boys
Gagged and bound
Theres got to be a better way
For you and for me
To turn this hypocrisy round
The growth of a nation
Cannot be achieved
By keeping
The downtrodden down
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It dont ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Turn it up, turn it up
Right up, right up

The Old
Oh bear with me, for I am old
And count on fingers five
The years this pencil I may hold
And hope to be alive;
How sadly soon our dreaming ends!
How brief the sunset glow!
Be kindly to the old, my friends:
You'll miss them when they go.
I've seen so many disappear
That I can scarce forget,
For death has made them doubly dear
And ripened my regret.
How wistfully I've wished them back,
With cherishing to show
The gentleness I used to lack
In years of long ago.
You, young and fit, will falter too,
And when Time's load you bear,
'Twill help if others turn to you
With comforting and car;
With loving look and tender touch . . .
Aye, in their twilight wan
Revere the old - for Oh how much
You'll miss them when they've gone!

Wrinkles and Grey Hair (Children)
Mommy's getting wrinkles.
Daddy has grey hair.
It wasn't very long ago
when those things weren't there.
Wish I could smooth the wrinkles out
and darken Daddy's hair
to stop the changes going on.
It makes me feel so scared.
Grampa, does it mean they'll die?
They have wrinkles and grey hair!
I never used to worry
before those things were there.
Grampa said to look at him.
There were lots of wrinkles there,
and on his head, a snowstorm
was the color of his hair.
'Wrinkles only come to point
where smiles were, here and there.
It's your mommy's turn to get some
for the happy times you've shared.'
His white, and Daddy's grey hair
well, it was there to show
who had lived the longest time
so everyone could know!
Grampa said it's part of life.
We love, we learn, we live.
We earn grey hair and wrinkles,
they're prizes only God can give.
Turn It On
Written by lindsey buckingham.
Now, someone has left you alone
Somehow you will carry on
You are the man
Do what you can
Just go out and turn it on
You can fight, you can pray, you can reach for the sky
You can heal someones soul, you dont even know why
Turn it on
Now, someone is dead and gone
The hurt that you feel makes you strong
Time is allowed
Make him proud
Just go out and turn it on
You can love, you can hate, you can laugh, you can cry
You can run for your life, you can live, you can die
Turn it on
You can hurt, you can heal, you can reach for the light
You could trust in yourself if youd give it a try
Turn it on

Are you Loving Enough?
Are you loving enough? There is some one dear,
Some one you hold as the dearest of all
In the holiest shrine of your heart.
Are you making it known? Is the truth of it clear
To the one you love? If death's quick call
Should suddenly tear you apart,
Leaving no time for a long farewell,
Would you feel you had nothing to tell---
Nothing you wished you had said before
The closing of that dark door?
Are you loving enough? The swift years fly---
Oh, faster and faster they hurry away,
And each one carries its dead.
The good deed left for the by and by,
The word to be uttered another day,
May never be done or said.
Let the love word sound in the listening ear,
Nor wait to speak it above a bier.
Oh the time for telling your love is brief,
But long, long, long is the time for grief.
Are you loving enough?

Of Humans And Dogs
The more I know human beings,
The more I love my dogs.
There's no comparison I'm seeing,
Like a princess and a frog.
A dog will always be there,
No matter what you've done,
A human just can't seem to care,
For you or anyone.
A human will turn you away,
And never blink an eye.
A dog will be there everyday,
And will never make you cry.
A dog will give you love,
unconditionally.
Humans just don't give enough,
There's no comparison for me.
The more I know human beings,
The more I love my pup.
Yes I'm the one believing,
A dog's love will not stop.

Time and Change
time and fate may separate friends and lovers
but friendship or love that's true will live forever
true love conquers all odds with patience
and hope keeps them alive forever
Grandma used to tell us all
things of this world will change with time
since all things have their turn to change
the sick has a time to heal
while the poor will come to wealth with time
in this world events change with the years
and the seasons will surely come and go
so everything has its time and day
so wait on time to begin a new day
to change the course of your life
for if you look around you
nothing in the universe is constant,
only true love is forever faithful

Stupid Lover
Your presence
Makes me stupid
Hoping you
Turn a sight again
Do you not satisfy
Hurt me once?
Your smile
Makes me stupid
Dreaming you
Love me too
Forever
And never separated
Is it not good enough
I try to hate
Is it not good enough
I erase you
From the heart
From my memories
Is it not enough
You disappear from me
Is it not enough
You torn me
With love
With your smile
Your tears
Makes me stupid
Hoping me
Erase your pain
Far away
Bring back the sun
Is it not good enough
I try to hate
Is it not good enough
I erase you
From the heart
From my memories
Is it not enough
You disappear from me
Is it not enough
You break me
With love
With your smile
Without you
I'll be alone
Without your love
I'll be empty
But I know for sure
Better be like this

American Errorist (I Hate Hate Haters)
Its okay dont be ashamed allow yourself a little hate, I really hate hate haters
A little hate is not so bad, when directed at injustice and evil doers
You can turn the other cheek, but dont turn the other way, indifference is our biggest threat
Enemy of the planet we finally have a common cause a catalyst
A reason to forget about our differences and stand as a united front its up to us
To expose and humiliate the errorists, the american errorists, well start with one
I know just one, the war has begun
