Try, believing luck
With out sail you can reach.
With sail you perhaps fail.
You may swim and fail.
You may float and reach.
Sometimes efforts fail.
Sometimes fortune strikes.
An effect is from bundles of causes.
Your effort is an added cause.
When other forces are enough,
Without your effort, you succeed.
When other forces are far short,
With your effort, you fail.
So to rely on fate is futile.
To rely on your efforts is too.

Why Even Try?
Why even try....
Why even try, when your friends do not want you around?
Why even try, when your boyfriend does not want you around?
Why even try, when your father does not want you around?
Why even try, when your sibling do not want you around?
Why even try at all?
Why even put effort into something, when you know your going to fail anyway?
All I have done in life is fail....
Will I ever get it right?

Sailing.
sailing is a skilll,
which gives us immence joy to feel.
it is a skill to learn,
but not only to earn.
it is risky to sail,
as we my die if we fail.
because the boat may sink,
and harse our family my think.
it is not easy to sil,
as the sea makes us fail.
the sea is never at ease,
and makes us think never of peace.
some use it in war,
but only to earn money for car.
about the people they dnt care,
but says we fight for welfare.
so i donot sail,
because i know dangerous may it turn.
i enjoy watching them sail,
and pray that no should never fail...........

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort.

Skies The Limit
Written by christine mcvie
If Ive been acting just a little strange
And you have noticed it too
Its cos my life has been rearranged
With the presence of you
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
How can we fail
Can you give me one reason why
Youd ever let me down
I wont believe it baby, but Ill try
The truths goin to come around
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
Sooner or later
Ill keep the promise
I made to you
Sooner or later
It will be greater
Then we ever knew
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit

Why Are You Waiting
What can I do Im at the door
Ive tried turning back theres no point in that now
What should I say, what should I do
Should I fix my hair oh why am I scared now
Facing the world is so hard do you know what I mean
People are so often hard and far too ready to say...hey...ohhh
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail)
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail, you wont fail)
Look at me stand outside the door
Like a frightened child with a nervous smile see
What should I do, what should I say
Should I speak at all
I am much too small now
Facing the world is so hard do you know what I mean
People are so often hard and far too ready to say...hey...ohhh
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail)
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail)
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail, you wont fail, you wont fail)

To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again.

The Existance of Angel (TEA)
You cry when I fail
You smile when I succeed
You lie when you're down
You play with me everyday
You are the light of my life
You are the bright of my future
You are the tears of my effort
You are the angel in my little world
Mom, with your hope I'm born
Mom, with your bless I'm here
Mom, with your pray I'll win
Mom, I love you for all eternity

On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve.

If I Could Fly
No fear, no pain
Nobody left to blame
I'll try alone
Make destiny my own
I learn to free my mind
Myself I now must find
Once more
Once more
Refrn:
If I could fly
Like the king of the sky
Could not tumble nor fall
I would picture it all
If I could fly
See the world through my eyes
Would not stumble nor fail
To the heavens I sail
If I could fly
So here I am
In solitude I stand
I've got dreams inside I need to realize
My faith has grown
No fear of the unknown
No more
No more
If I could fly
Like the king of the sky
Could not tumble nor fall
I would picture it all
If I could fly
See the world through my eyes
Would not stumble nor fail
I could ravage my jail
If I could fly
If I could, if I could, fly
If I could, if I could, fly If I could,
If I could fly
Like the king of the sky
Could not tumble nor fall
I would picture it all
If I could fly
See the world through my eyes
Would not stumble nor fail
To the heavens I sail
If I could fly
Like the king of the sky
Could not tumble nor fall
I would picture it all If I could fly
See the world through my eyes
Would not stumble nor fail
I could ravage my jail
If I could fly

Better Efforts
What I do for you that comes from me,
Will be done with a doing...
To achieve my best effort.
Regardless of how that effort once done...
Becomes interpreted.
Just know this...
I am hoping you give to me,
More opportunities to improve...
With a doing to give even better efforts,
Than my last.

Ill Never Fail You
Irving taylor / vic mizzy
Ill never fail you
Whatever may be
Ill never tail you
Depend upon me
Ill see them all through
The things youve planned.
But if they fall through
Ill understand,
And when shadows trail you
Ill bring you the sun
Ill never fail you
Theres no other one
Im yours forever
We never will part
Ill never never fail you sweetheart

Halycon Days
Dear pretty muse, open your eyes,
How can I sleep when you lie near?
Were I with you all night I could,
From sleep be free and never need.
Alas, my dear, you are not near:
And sadly, I must lie alone.
Unless you join me, in my dreams
Then these days can go on and on
Halcyon days never endin'.
You shall find wherever you sail
Me all the while attendin'
To and lovin' you without fail
You, in infinite ways inspire
These words, this vision, this desire.
Come with me so that we may cling
To these days we cherish and sing.
For without this, without desire,
We will always want for love's fire.
Nothins lost that cannot be caught
Life without love, livin' for naught
Halcyon days never endin'.
You shall find wherever you sail
Me all the while attendin'
To and lovin' you without fail
So come on Muse, please come away.
In these days in this dream let's stay,
Because this is Time's holiday,
Sacred to hold, not thrown away
How can I convince you to say
You will come, now, with me today
Tell me we can find the right way
So come on Muse, please come away
Halcyon days never endin'.
You shall find wherever you sail
Me all the while attendin'
To and lovin' you without fail

Defeat Forces of Evil
Forces of negative confront every turn.
With all things new there’s so much to learn.
No one really cares if I fail or succeed.
Things against me keep me from what I need.
As things go wrong I sit back and sigh
Wondering about happened while asking why.
Best I stop and take stock of this mess
And closely analyze abilities I possess.
Then develop these into a plan of action,
Pursuing a course with fun and satisfaction.
Forces of negative will always attack,
But a detailed plan will enable me to fight back.
With strength and confidence I’ll be upbeat
Causing forces of negative to be in retreat.
