I Am Not Telling You That I Am Right
my only choice is to talk,
and it is not even loud, it is a careful whisper
not even to your ear,
because i know for sure that you
can hear and see,
my choice is to hurt, because i have the truth
and it is like a sword,
it kills,
forgive me but i am only a tool,
and they all use me
to strike at the center of it all,
ah, forget it, just like what i said
when we first met, i have nothing to say
actually.

The Gray Choice
We assume the world is black & white,
But what about blue & yellow?
What about when the fork in the road has 3 spikes
And we assume the world won’t end
Even if we make the gray choice
But what if we make the gray choice,
The one in between?
What happens when you dare to dream,
Dare to make the center choice?
If you dare to ask this question,
It doesn’t hurt to try again
And if no one will answer you,
Then dare to dream and make that choice
Tread Careful
Tread careful
Because youre treading on my dreams.
Tread careful
Because Ive just one heart
Tread careful
Let me down slowly
Or Ill forget how to dream.
Chorus:
I wont forget anything
(I love you)
I wont forgive anyone
(do you love me? )
Tread careful
You hear the sound of my breathing
Tread careful
Because I feel this sound
Tread careful
Im falling in a glasshouse
Im trying hard to begin
Because I want it to get harder
Tread careful
Before I change my mind
Tread careful
I could surprise you
I know something you want to do.
(repeat chorus)
Tread careful
Im sure you dont care but
Tread careful
I could change your mind
Tread careful
Ive been waiting for you
There is no comfort in here.
(repeat chorus)

This Budget reflects a choice - not an easy choice, but the right choice. And when you think about it, the only choice. The choice to take the responsible, prudent path to fiscal stability, economic growth and opportunity.

Freedom Of Choice
A victim of collision on the open sea
Nobody ever said that life was free
Sank, swam, go down with the ship
Just use your freedom of choice
Ill say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice
In ancient rome there was a pawn
Who faught alone
And watched it fall
He cast a stone
He felt secure
He felt that hed never be hurt
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
Give into the voice
You dont want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Dont be tricked by what you see
You got two ways to go
Ill say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
In ancient rome there was a pawn
Who faught alone
And watched it fall
He cast a stone
He felt secure
He felt that his voice would never be heard
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice!
Is what you want
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice!
Is what you want
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
Freedom from choice!

Am I Not Happy? ! ? ....
Why am I not happy?
Because.. The sun's not up?
But I have a choice:
- enjoy the clouds!
Why am I not happy?
Because.. I feel so lonely?
But I have a choice:
To call a friend and let the time go slowly..
Why am I not happy?
Because..I have no money?
But I have a choice:
-forget that I had any..
Why am I not happy?
because..I am in pain?
but I have a choice:
to count, wait-patience I'll gain..

Forgive X
How do you forgive the fox?
How do you forgive the pain?
How do you forgive the sly?
From the one that hurt u all over again
how do you forget the lies?
How do you forget the blame?
How do you forget the damage?
From the one that was playing the game
How do you trust the truth?
How do you trust your heart?
How do you trust the fox?
Will you ever be able to restart?
How do you learn to trust?
How do you learn to forget?
How do you learn to forgive again?
Will I always live with regrets? ?

I'M SoRRy...
I’m sorry
I’m sorry for breaking your heart
I thought I was being smart
Thinking that ignoring you would do any good
But I would take it all back if I could
I’m sorry for hurting you all this time
Maybe you thought I was pleased but in fact I was never fine
I’m sorry for not being there
But this didn’t mean that I didn’t truly care
Every morning I woke up all alone
Hesitating if I should pick up the phone
To talk to you or even say hi
But then I’ll put it down and start to cry
I thought that you’d never want talk to me again or even want to hear my voice
I tried to do everything I could until I had no other choice
But to try to completely forget about you
And later realized that that was totally impossible to do
Will you ever forgive me for being so unfaithful to you?
And will you ever believe that the love between us was true?

Ballot Or The Bullet
Give me liberty or give me death
No truer words have ever been said
Well are you prepared for your very last breath?
Dont you dare start what you cannot finish
So when we face, face the adversary
No longer are we the minority
And when history repeats her hour
The pendulum will swing, swing into power
Though not in vain like our forefathers
Freedom, never had no room for cowards
For in the end, there will be equality
By any means necessary
The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand
Whats it gonna take to liberate?
An emancipation, a false proclamation?
All these token words that you legislate
Sound a little bit absurd. hey! and a little too late
When a house is divided, it just will not stand
Once its decided, a line drawn in the sand
Ah! the ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand
The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
Held, held by the same hand!

Try Again
Written by ricki & kim wilde
I cant see your face
Hear the excuses for
The mistakes that you make
Ive heard all your lies
I dont know how much I can take
Before I break
Ive tried to be so strong
While you broke the promises
All the vows that we made
We know somethings wrong
But we carry on anyway
Day by day
Youre the one who let me down
And now I find it hard to forgive
In my heart
But Ill try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
Ill try again
Though you hurt me I know
I cant let you go
How can we forget
The sweetness of yesterday
We just cant let it go
Lost in bitterness
Im losing my self control
And my soul
Cos youll be the one who let me down
And now I find it hard to forgive
In my mind
But Ill try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
Ill try again
Though you hurt me I know
I cant let you go
Oh why, why do we hurt each other more
When theres a way
Cos we never really found
What we were looking for
Can we try again
Cos youre the one who let me down
And now I find it hard to forgive
In my heart
But Ill try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
Ill try again
Though you hurt me I know
I cant let you go
Ooh, Ill try again

I think there is choice possible to us at any moment, as long as we live. But there is no sacrifice. There is a choice, and the rest falls away. Second choice does not exist. Beware of those who talk about sacrifice.

Choice of life
Human have a gift named a choice
Human have an illusion named a choice
There is no other creature that should decide more to live
Human have a hope called a choice
Human have despair called a choice
There is no other creature that trapped often in such continuous and repeat conflict
Some could turn good because one choice
Some could turn bad because one choice
All have the consequence but right or wrong will never be known before
Human have a wish for a choice
Human have regret for a choice
There is no other creature that always goes between happiness and sorrow
When a choice made not all may be satisfied
When a choice made not all may be rescued
But the change will never happened if we stay silent
Human have fate to choose
Human also choose their fate
The interaction of those things will create what people called the choice of life

We Have No Choice
A choice is your dream off wings.
It was never there.
Your choice has a shadow of your ego
It can never follow you.
We have no choice at all
Your choice is just a compromise.

Dreamin Out Loud
(buddy blackmon/michael smotherman/vip vipperman)
Pardon me mister, it was my mistake
I gotta be more careful in a crowd
If you caught me talkin' to someone you cant see
Dont mind me, Im dreamin' out loud
I cant help wondering what did I do wrong
To lose the only one I care about
I cant stop living in the used to be
Dont mind me, Im dreamin' out loud
All I hear is her whisper my name
All I see is her hair tumble down
When I feel the touch of her hand in mine
I find Im dreamin' out loud
Well Id better be going, got some place to be
I know shes somewhere in this town
And until I find her and she comes back to me
Ill be dreamin' out loud
All I hear is her whisper my name
All I see is her hair tumble down
When I feel the touch of her hand in mine
I find Im dreamin' out loud
Im dreamin' out loud

He
He was the most dreadful name,
Everything agreed the same,
When they felt his horrid wrath.
Such a lonely way it is,
All by myself watching the town fizz,
To escape Him along this narrow path.
I wish it wasn't this way,
But I've nothing to say,
For it is not my choice.
All in a large crowd,
Where everyone was very loud,
No one could hear my voice.
I chose to take this way,
Because no one listened to me today,
And they all will die.
I'm walking along this path I know,
Will show me the way to go,
And help I shall find.
But no mercy he shows them,
He will break every limb,
And I will run out of time,
Or maybe I will pay,
I might if I may,
Give him a penny or a dime.
Along this broken road I walk,
And to myself do I talk,
About if time runs out.
I hope it doesn't run out,
But if it does I will shout,
Kill me now,
Before He kills me.
And now you see,
The power of He.

Dominating Factor
If you know you are right...
You have a choice.
You can either be patient.
Or choose to fight!
If you know you are wrong...
And defend your position.
Regardless of the opposition faced.
You 'too' have a choice.
You can smother yourself in denial.
Or you can spend the rest of your life...
Wondering why no one believes a thing you say!
Either way,
Eventually someone is going to get hurt.
Especially when 'truth',
Is not first researched and encouraged...
To be the dominating factor embraced,
As a guiding force!

Help
Listen to the sound/
Of birds a’singin’/
Softly they are found/
In the air ringin’/
Buzz my life/
I’m alive and well/
Hard to smile sometimes/
But the truth will sell/
Baby/baby/
Hear my voice/
Sweet and sound/
I’m your clearest choice/
Near to me/
Are you mine? /
I’m losing myself/
I cannot find/
Fill my threshold/
With pain in disguise/
I will unfold/
Beneath my skin what fries! /
Baby/baby/
Hear my voice/
Sweet and sound/
I’m your clearest choice/
On my mind/
It is there/
My future existing/
In living air/
I am trying/
Tyo make it so hard/
I hate it so much/
Cuz the end is so far/
Baby/baby/
Hear my voice/
Sweet and sound/
I’m your clearest choice/
Feelings surpassed/
Blown away/
Will I come home/
Again to live another day/
Long gone/
Is myself/
I will never find it/
The answer which is help/
Baby/baby/
Hear my voice/
Sweet and sound/
I’m your clearest choice/

The Lie Or The Truth?
she'd rather have the lie
that makes her live
even for a moment
than have a truth
that kills....
life is still beautiful
she preaches
and whether you like it or not
that is a big lie....
take it,
you have no choice

The honest liar
1. I have to tell you that
In the last conversation we had
All I told you were lies
And with all honesty now
I am telling you
That I am a liar.
2. When you asked me
Whether I am dying
I told you I am not
But I have only
A month to live
That is the truth
But look
I am not responsible for you
I am the one
That is dying here.
It is not you.
3. When we speak
I do not demand that
You tell me the truth
We are talking
Because we are here
What you say to me
Is none of my business
To require that you tell
Me the truth
Is in fact, an overburden
Our agreement is
Simple enough
That we just talk
It is nothing more
But a contract of presence
a conversation.
4. In fact what you say
Is the bonus
And it does not matter
Truth or falsehood
We just talk
For a while
While I am here
I am going somewhere
I am leaving
You will be left
And you still have
All the time to contrive
The choice is yours
I have none anymore
5. so that is it
Keep on talking
As I pretend I am listening
I keep on talking too
But my mind
Forgive me
Is somewhere else
You may not understand
It at first
But you will soon
Understand
This world is not simply meant
For one, for one like me.
Or for us.
6. at this stage
Truth and falsehood
Are irrelevant,
Out there
Is beyond truth and falsehood
It is our place.

Silence
I got a feeling
Everything's gonna be alright
And I still find my way
And I heard
It's always darkest before the storm
So come on let it rain
Everything was different when I was seventeen
The world was so much brighter
Now I finally found the truth
Of what they hid for me
That world was so much kinder
Silence
Don't hear a sound
But my own voice
Silence
Is what it is
By my own choice
I believe
That we were meant to learn from our mistakes
And stumble along the way
Now I know
That people are gonna grap what they can take
Then just turn away
Everybody's searching
But no one really knows the truth
The world is upside down
What it's all about right now
Will soon turn to gray
Their promises have faded
Silence
Silence
Silence
Don't hear a sound
But my own voice
Silence
Don't hear a sound
But my own voice
Silence
Is what it is
By my own choice
All my little merry friends
Have turned their backs on me
Excuse me if I'm jaded
I'm so tired of people telling me
How it should be
Their promises have faded
Silence
Silence
Silence
Don't hear a sound
But my own voice
Silence
Don't hear a sound
But my own voice
Silence
Is what it is
By my own choice
Silence
