Let Us Create A Certain Distance
even roads have clearances
a system of space
where movement becomes
easier
even buildings that grow
from patches of your earth
have easements
the servient estate giving
in to the dominant one
even the flow of the waters
from the higher estate
to the lower ones
for the proper sharing
of the resources
dams and locks
are made
it is the same with us
between you and me
someone has to be servient
to one who occupies
this dominance
maybe for a while
when we have not
mastered yet this art
of balancing
and walking on some
tight ropes
give me a little space
for my thoughts to grow
give me a little distance
so i can see
the better perspective
of you
from faraway
enough of the particulars
i am deceived
let me try seeing you
as a whole
and let me find
who we are from there

We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.

When it comes to space, I see it as my job to build infrastructure the hard way — I'm using my resources to put in place heavy-lifting infrastructure so the next generation of people can have a dynamic, entrepreneurial explosion into space. … I want thousands of entrepreneurs doing amazing things in space, and to do that we need to dramatically lower the cost of access to space.

Love Waiting
Sometimes we hold on something
So tight we strangle it
Leaving no chance for it to grow
For it to grow freedom movement
Is what all things need
It must run on it's own
Give freely of it's self
Or it will never be real
Only a hope of somthing better
Waiting down the road

A Certain Gentleness In Departure
what choice do you have? to stop saying a word?
use the period finally to your conversations with her?
come to think of it, there is already a link between
her world and your world
she plants the stars and you bring some planets
you put this little galaxy
in motion and there is this movement upon space
in space
like a haze disappearing
remember how hands hold each other
grappling for the meaning of touch
remember how thoughts entwine
to define what caress and endearment are all about
this is not a game anymore
this is dust giving a name to another speck of dust
they burst in the color of the clouds
in celebration
we plant love, she takes in her will to live,
you must give her what is due to her wishes
if love does not grow, try compassion
let there be a little flower in her desert garden
if there is nothing left, just be the fog, the wind
leave silently without the door knowing it
let there be gentleness even in departures
she is asleep, let her finish with that last dream

Astronauts
couples on the verge of divorce
have become astronauts because they always say they need
space.
it matters, and matter is that
which occupies space and has weight.
i need space. i am gaining weight.
i am standing on a cliff, on the verge of an abyss
i am not afraid
i want to fall, because i am an astronaut too needing
space.
i miss the fun at the opening of your beehive.
sort of your art boutique
i did not forget it.
i need space.
i need space.you badly need more space.
tomorrow morning you will ask me
why did you write a sad poem last night?
and i too, now, needed more space
to lie,
i will ask you,
which one?
did i?
i cannot remember.

Mission Motherland
So far from our system we came here through space
To leave poisoned spheres for your race
Our knowledge we trade for the time shared on earth
To take and give for what it's worth
On, our screens we've been shown your world
Plead for your welcome, you won't get hurt
Mission motherland
Another chance
With sunlit soil and air to breathe
Is there any place for us to live
To grow descendants to be free
You gave us resources
You gave us advice
To deal with the unknown
To get humanized
We've shown you dimensions
And brought you on ways
You've never seen yesterday
Hand in hand we will march through time
So much more to research and find
Mission motherland
Another chance
With sunlit soil and air to breathe
Is there any place for us to live
To grow descendants to be free
When you hear these words
We've taken cold refuge
In freezers to keep us alive
What we didn't know
Your central star called sun
Sends lethal rays to earth
Say how many of us died
In the streams of light
Faceless bodies, morbid cries
Doomed our colonies
Wake us when you;ve healed the world
Save our souls
When will we be as one again
And fulfill what we understand as
Mission motherland
Another chance
With sunlit soil and air to breathe
Is there any place for us to live
To grow descendants to be free

Releasing a Treasure...
do not find me the will
or that reason
to release this treasure to air
to remove this from
me,
find me that feeling
that rain that wets this dry leaf
so that i can be alive again
green with
dew
find me that sun
that makes this wilting grass grow into a
carpet of dreams
give me the moon
that shall spread its golden sheen again
on the gray surfaces of
sadness
find me the brook
of eternal waters
so i may not grow old somehow
give me the impossible
so i can live forever with you
utter the word
so the i and me shall become
once more
the us again...

Better
it's something like i apologize
it's something i still can't decide
but i know it gets better
it only gets better
and i want to say that it's not always easy
but it's simple that way
and i want to stay and play it out
but i still have my doubts
so you say it gets better
it only gets better
better this way
better, maybe it's better this way
beautiful things they never stay, oh, the same way
they pass, oh they pass away, they always change
who are we is who we are
when the act of love can get us so far
so good i wish you would
think twice on me
cuz it only gets better
it only gets better
better this way
better, maybe it's better this way
just give it some time
just give it some space
just give it some time, maybe it's better this way
just give it some time
just give it some space
just give it some time, maybe it's better this way
so better
it's better this way
baby, it's better this way
just give it some time
just give it some space
maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe
it's better, oh, this way
promise me you'll always be better
better

Patches Of
patches of sunlight,
patches of clouds.
patches of Jesus,
patches of doubt.
patches of joy,
patches of pain.
patches of hope,
patches of strain.
patches of tomorrow,
patches of today.
patches of forever,
patches of 'cant stay'!
patches of loving,
patches of cold.
patches of youth,
patches of old.
patches of bravery.
patches of fear.
patches of happiness,
patches of tears.
patches of life,
patches of death.
patches of trying
with your last breath!

Giving Up
If there should be the faintest traces
Of you in my summer sky
My heart would pound and race
And people ask me why
Did I pull those funny faces
When I walk by the waterside
I look for things to say
And still I find you
I wont give up
Dont talk of giving up
And every night I swear Ive finished
And when I rise to face the day
Resolve just fades away
And so it follows
Trying to find strength of purpose
I place temptation out of reach
Then search in every niche
Until I find you
I wont give up
Dont talk of giving up
I wont give it up--love this world
No thoughts of giving up oh no no no no no
Perhaps its only saints who suffer
For those needs to which were slaved
This roaad iwalk is paved with good intentions
The final choice hangs on a wire
And theres no room for feet to stray
The piper waits for pay
And still I find you
I wont give up
Dont talk of giving up
I wont give up--love this world
No thoughts of giving up oh no no no no no
I wont give it up--love this world
Dont talk of giving up
I wont give it up--love this world
No thoughts on giving up

Watching For Shapes
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Influences now are things that are all around me
Changing shape as they move around in an open mind
Coloured in by the images I find
Im just watching for shapes that grow
Im just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)
Like electric sparks they danced by an open mirror
Closing doors never looking round but its not goodbye
Theyll be there till Im taken out I know
Im just watching for shapes that grow
Im just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)
In my mind theres a space thats full of painted pictures
Things I did that I went through, but cant recall
Now and then theres a flash of the unknown
Im just watching for shapes that grow
Im just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)
(watching for shapes that grow)
(watching for shapes that grow)

Don't Give Up
All our dreams are gone
With a loss of faith
We're still hanging on
For another day
It's so hard to see
That it's going to get better
And when will that be
It's hard to say
We must believe
That if we give we will receive
Yes we must believe
That it's going to get better
Don't give up
Never give up
We won't stop giving
Giving all we got
Now we're breaking away
From what holds us down
This could be the day
That brings out the light
Now we're marching on
With the will of never giving up
This time we'll have won
With out a fight
We must believe
Don't give up
Never give up
We won't stop
Giving all we got
Forgive and forget don't hold on to the bitterness
Filled with regrets we don't wanna go there again
The glass is half full so lets get it on with togetherness
And our number will grow we will prevail in the end

Big & Strong
(mark heard)
Strong man strangles universe--he drowns the stars
Blinded by the mission of a thousand wars
Hes fit and dominant--no wonder why
He loves the battle cry
Strong man is survivor--he lives to pound
Little wooden crosses in the bloody ground
Hes fit and dominant--his will is truth
His hand is absolute
And the world keeps on turning
And the sun keeps on burning
And the children keep learning
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong
Strong man takes no prisoner--favors no plea
He leaves no gold in teeth of enemy
Hes fit and dominant--rises above
He has no word that means love
And the world keeps on turning
And the sun keeps on burning
And the children keep learning
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong
And the world keeps on turning
And the sun keeps on burning
And the children keep learning
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong

You
You - you make me see all the possibilities
You- you make me feel emotions that I try to conceal.
I would take the stars from the skies
Just to put the sparkle in your eyes.
You make me feel like I’m on cloud nine
And whichever way I turn I’ll be fine.
You give me the perseverance to survive
You give me HOPE which will never die.
But what you give me most -of that there is no doubt
Is your love that I can’t live without.
You give me dreams that I never dreamt before
You pulled me from the ocean and took me to the shore.
You have given me all that I desire
You have set my soul on fire.
You have made life worth living
And my heart worth giving.
You have become the earth in which all life grows
And from a seed I have grown to be tall and strong
And you as the earth is where I belong.
And as the earth holds on to all that
Grows within and nurtures it till its reached its height
You have done this to me, and given me the might.
My love will grow and flow like the rivers
And the streams for all eternity.
For in your bosom is where I want to be.
YOU - YOU ARE LIFE

Figure. 09
Nothin ever stops all these thoughts n the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin
Its like nothin I can do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
cuz from the infinite words I can say i
Put all pain you gave to me on display
But didnt realize instead of settin it free i
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
It never goes away [x2]
And now
Youve become a part of me
Youll always be right here
Youve become a part of me
Youll always be my fear
I cant separate
Myself from what Ive done
Giving up a part of me
Ive let myself become you
Hearin your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happenin
I see you n every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was committin myself to em n everyday
I regret sayin those things cuz now I see that i
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
It never goes away [x2]
And now
Youve become a part of me
Youll always be right here
Youve become a part of me
Youll always be my fear
I cant separate
Myself from what Ive done
Giving up a part of me
Ive let myself become you
It never goes away [x4]
Get away from me!
Give me my space back you gotta just
Go!
Everything comes down the memories of
You!
I kept it in without lettin you
Know!
I let you go so get away from
Me!
Give me my space back you gotta just
Go!
Everything comes down the memories of
You!
I kept it in without lettin you
Know!
I let you go
And now
Youve become a part of me
Youll always be right here
Youve become a part of me
Youll always be my fear
I cant separate
Myself from what Ive done
Giving up a part of me
Ive let myself become you
Ive let myself become you
Ive let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you
Giving up a part of me
Ive let myself become you

Till The End Of Time
(giorgio moroder/ tom whitlock)
Producer for bonnie: giorgio moroder
I remember times like this
Memories you can't dismiss of paradise
Looking for a way to start our love again
Every night and every day
We can find a better way to live all our lives
We can be as one again
Finally find a way to say that we know the truth
'til the end of time we love
Reaching for the higher ground
'til the end of time we live
Giving all we have to give
Children of another time
We lay it all upon the line
To say i love you
Every night and every day
We can find a better way to say
I love you
'til the end of time we love
Reaching for the higher ground
'til the end of time we live
Giving all we got to give
Giving all we got to give
Giving all we got to give
'til the end of time we love
Every night and every day
Reaching for the higher ground
Reaching for the higher ground
'til the end of time we live
Giving all we got to give

Let It Grow
(by eric clapton)
Im standin at the crossroads
Tryin to read the signs
To tell me which way I should
Go to find the answer
And all the time I know
Let your love and let it grow.
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow.
In the sun and in the snow
Love is lovely, let it grow.
Lookin for a reason
To check out on my mind.
Its so hard to find a
Friend that I can count on.
Theres nothin left to show,
Plant your love and let it grow.
Let it grow...
Time is gettin shorter
And theres much for you to do,
Only askn you will get what you are needin,
The rest is up to you.
Plant your love and let it grow.
Let it grow...

Cutting The Heads
how many heads have my thoughts
grown? aplenty, and you say
thumbs down, you do not like the way
these thoughts are going,
i give you the power to cut all of them
extract my eyes so i cannot see
chop my ears so i cannot hear
but give my power back to grow
them all again
these time faces that you cannot
remember
thoughts that bloom like flowers
long eradicated by your
time,
let me have the seeds of thoughts
that will grow moments again
about a new
beginning
sprouts of my requests
no longer begging
for mercy.
