Sometimes I Wonder
Is there a place to which I belong?
Which I have searched already so long
Since all time is to me...?
Where are the signs or directions?
Somewhere on these roads are connections
That indicate the way?
Sometimes I wonder...
Perhaps there are maps others have found,
Written paths leading to holy grounds,
With buried treasure within...
The chance is here to find and explore
And seeing which is the golden door
Stop short of entering...
Resisting discoveries beyond
Mortal security holding on,
Knowing imperfection...

A Wondering Soul
There is a place to which I belong,
In there, I have searched for long,
For the natural light
That would for always
Cover my life's pathway,
Since all time is mine...
Where are the signs-the directions?
Somewhere on these roads are connections
That indicate the way...
Perhaps, there are maps others have found,
Or written paths leading to holy grounds
With buried treasures within...
The chance is here to find and explore
And seeing which is the golden door
That shall be wide-opened for me to go through...
No resisting discoveries beyond,
Mortal security holding on,
Knowing once and for all
That my imperfection is real,
So, now, vanished are all my fears
And I have become a restful soul...

Searching For You
I searched for you everywhere
No knowing where you really were
I went as far as another constellation
And in my failure to find you
I grew in indignation
My life is now painful and in review
Unaware you were hiding
Behind the moon's shadow
Residing in a place cold and hollow...
Sarcastically you were smiling at me
Without you, now I know what I can be...
O! Lord! What an irony!
The living proof of an agony!

Ghost Of A Chance
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
Like a million little doorways
All the choices we made
All the stages we passed through
All the roles we played
For so many different directions
Our separate paths might have turned
With every door that we opened
Every bridge that we burned
Somehow we find each other
Through all that masquerade
Somehow we found each other
Somehow we have stayed
In a state of grace
I dont believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I dont believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state
I dont believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe theres a ghost of a chance
We can find someone to love
And make it last
Like a million little crossroads
Through the backstreets of youth
Each time we turn a new corner
A tiny moment of truth
So many different connections
Our separate paths might have made
With every door that we opened
Every game we played
Somehow we find each other
Through all that masquerade
Somehow we found each other
Somehow we have stayed
In a state of grace

No life map
Road maps are there.
Paths can be chosen
No maps are for life.

Passing of time
The passing of time through the changing pattern of our thought
Is like a fish passing water over its gills,
Or like a cosmic engine
And not unlike the stream of light passing through pictures
It is leading to our irreversible changing,
It is triggering our memories,
Those emotions that are often evoked
When hearing a piece of music from our past.
The time is perfect..
Present perfect, past perfect, future perfect...
Every time we understand more about ourselves
We are going through an invisible portal
In our awareness.
And every time we think about our awareness
We understand that our cages are within,
Created by fear and the walls we
Have built around our heart.
It is our imperfection the place where our story lives..
We pretend to be perfect, but we hurt each other and
We fail to live up to our own standards...
We are so imperfect and have so much love of ourselves..
Maybe this is why we need to create those perfect moments
For glorious memories,
Resisting the passing of time through the changing pattern of our thought...
Maybe this is why our time together is so precious...

Try To Believe
Well I wish real hard when I close my eyes
If I could change the world--would I even try
If I found a reason to regain my pride
Oh if I try to believe--try to believe
Chorus
Its so hard to find an answer
Its so hard to stand alone
Its so hard to find a feeling
That was buried long ago
Its so hard to trust another
When its easier to hide
Its so hard to believe
Unless we try baby try
If I had a dream and it got away
If I found the words would I know what to say
If I had a chance to be someone else
Yeah if I try to believe, try to believe
Chorus
If I found a door Ive never been through
Would I have the courage to go in without you
(try to believe)
And if time runs short would I recognize
The things I couldnt see
If I try to believe--try to believe
If we listen to the voices that were silent for so long
If you thought they went away, well you couldnt be more wrong
If I tell you there is something that weve lost but can retrieve
If I tell you there is hope, if we try to believe
You remember theres a dream that we long since put aside
With the toys that we discarded
And the tears we never cried
We could have had it once again, if we try baby try

Im but a lad, oh for Im twenty, tuned in to dreaming
Gazing at your sign, for mad men only, my poets screaming
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
Take me to the wild black seas of madness, the savage dancer
Clothe me in insanity and leave me, to find the answer
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you

The Big Surprise
Defying Time and Space,
I traveled all the way
To the end of the colorful
And peaceful Rainbow.
While in transit
Through my long journey,
Hoping to find
That dreamed and
Hidden treasure
Awaiting
To be discovered,
A thousand thoughts
Came across my mind
And in one of them,
Your name was embedded!
Big was my surprise
When reaching my destination,
It was not a treasure chest
Filled with shining gold
I found
But a lovely and smiling Angel
Happily waiting for me!
For my great surprise,
That angel resembles you!

Ok
Ok, well, what's it all about
It's allright to change your mind
But whenever you found what you must find
Just remember, i'm holding on the line
So take advice from an old friend
To the heart you must be true
While you're doing all the things you do
Know that always, i'm in love with you
And it's hard for me to stay away
When my emotions so alive
So i try to live just day to day
Never knowing where love's leading us to
Is there no end, is there no end
For will our hearts join over and over again, again
Sometimes i cannot understand what is going on inside
Why you're always, always on my mind
'cause forever is such a long, long time
To awake, so may i make it clear
Love is never win or lose
It isn't something we can even choose
When true passion has slowly lit the fuse
And it's hard for me to stay away
When my emotions's so alive
So i try to live just day to day
Never knowing where love's
Leading us to
Is there no end, is there no end
For will our hearts join over and over again, again
Ok, well, what's it all about
It's allright to change your mind
But whenever you found what you must find
Just remember, i'm holding on the line
So take advice from an old friend
To the heart you must be true
While you're doing all the things you do
Know that always, i'm in love with you

A Never Ending
Life is never ending process
It has no pause or recess
It beats on in different form
Constant changes with very good reform
We have come to stay for short but for a long
Nothing to gain but committing wrong
Find no time for looking back and sum up
It is too late to think and stop
Who makes your life memorable and sweet?
Lovely friends when they come and greet?
Call on you and occasionally meet?
You surge ahead with energy in feet
Endless drive and non stop journey
Sometimes bitterness and sometimes honey
No mad race for treasure or money
Even though it looks sometimes funny
I wish to enjoy it at full length
Though I may not have enough strength
Is it not the strange wish for oasis water?
After all what do we search after?
I may have come across many hurdles
Worries too might have come in bundles
It is all over by the grace of God
How should I express it in words?
I must venture in no man’s land
Sometimes I may find very good friends
I wish I have some treasure to share
I searched all over but found no where
Life seems to me as no problem at all
I take it as challenge and useful call
What is use of crying over split milk?
When there is no water even to drink
It can be made worthwhile by staying positive
No place for thinking destructive or negative
It has to be accepted as destiny or fate
Life is still worthwhile even if we start late

Our Lady of Immaculate Conception!
I searched for a lady
With beauty, not external,
But of the heart,
And I found no one,
And still I find none!
I searched for a lady
With eyes without envy,
But glowing innocence,
And I found no one,
And still I find none!
I searched for a lady
With modesty, not vanity,
And heart full of piety,
And I found no one,
And still I find none!
I searched for a lady
With grace, not of movements,
But of the soul,
And I found no one,
And still I find none!
I searched for a lady
With wisdom, not knowledge,
And full of kindness,
And I found no one,
And still I find none!
I searched for a lady
With virtues, not vices,
And one who’s exemplary,
And I found no one,
And still I find none!
Where can I find her?
-One without sin, not earthly,
One born immaculate:
And it was Mother Mary-
The Mother of Jesus:
She was that only one!

The Story Of A Search For A Poem
A man went in search of a Poem
He searched everywhere he walked
He searched inside himself
He searched inside the poems of others
He searched and searched -
And what came to him were fragments of many poems
And he thought perhaps that they themselves were the poem
But they refused to be satisfied with themselves-
So he searched for a way to put them together-
But in searching came upon more fragments
With each new fragment totally re-ordering those that had gone before-
So he thought ‘I went looking for one poem but found many
Perhaps there are only many poems’
And he began to write them down
And felt at times that he had found many poems
But always too he knew he had not found the one-
So he searched and searched again
And could not find the Poem-
He is still searching
And does not know where the poem is
Sometimes he thinks it is hidden in the many already written
But he does not have the eye to discern it the heart to feel it-
He now is surrounded by poems-
They are everywhere-
But he still cannot find the One Poem which is the Poem for him
The Poem which is his Poem and his Poem alone-
He says he is still searching and will search to the end of his days
But he is old now and soon may be too weak to search
And so the Poem he seeks the one he has longed for all his life
May never be found
Though he goes on searching still.

I'd Love To Do A Nun Just Like You
There is none like you
No one else can touch my heart
Like you do
And I could search for
All eternity long
And find there is none like you
There is none like you
No one else can touch my heart
Like you do
And I could search for
All eternity long
And find there is none like you
Your mercy flows like a river wide
And healing comes
From your hand
And suffering children are safe
In your arms
There is none like you
There is none like you
No one else can touch my heart
Like you do
And I could search for
All eternity long
And find there is none like you
There is none like you
No one else can touch my heart
Like you do
And I could search for
All eternity long
And find there is none like you
I could search for all eternity long
And find there is none
There is none like you
There is none like you

Hey Sister, sweet sexy little Sister
Holy little Sister
I'd like
I'd really like to do a nun just like you
Oooh
Ooh
Set aflame unholy my heart
Ooh baby, ain't no one as hot around here as you
Even through I swear I've searched for
Searched for one
For all eternity long
I swear
I swear
I've never met one I wanna do
Never found one I wanna do
As much as I wanna do you
Oh yeah baby I do
Your sexy makes me wanna shove on in
And flood you like a river wide
Ooh baby how I wanna
How I wanna feel the sexual healing of your hand
Promise that I'll wear a raincoat
Anything to make you feel secure and safe in my arms
'Cause honey it's true I swear
I'd really like to
I'd really really like to
Make sweet, sweet love to a nun just like you
Hey Sister, sweet sexy little Sister
Holy little Sister
I'd like
I'd really like to do a nun just like you
Hey Sister, sweet sexy little Sister
Holy little Sister
I'd like
I'd really like to do a nun just like you
I swear baby I've searched all eternity long
And still I've never found
Never found one I wanna do as much as I wanna do
Ooh as much as I wanna do
Ooh as much as I wanna do a nun just like you
A sweet, sexy little nun just like you

Thinking...
Headlines of judgment
Across the gates of heaven...
Self conscious reporting
The errors of my deeds...
I can visit sometimes
Though I am still a quest
Of human transgression-
I know someday- when I die
There will be a way
To follow through-
To leave behind the sin
And enter freely in-
But today, I must return
Scared by the evidence
Of my imperfection...
Witnessing this side
Of immortality
I seem to walk endlessly
Preferring to find my way
Than be taken there
Through the tunnels of the earth...
But I cannot move
Without consequence
Or think clearly
Without some disturbance
Clinging like lint
To the fabric of my mind...
For God's sake-leave me alone! ! !
The battle is not even
Between me and the world-
It is in another dimension
Otherwise un-apprehended
Except for the vision
Of mortal action...
Those harbingers of revelation
Insist upon the will
A dirty foreign to the skill
Of man-unquestionably
Waiting to be fulfilled...

You Belong with Me
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong with me
Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me
(This is actually a song written by Taylor Swift)
Our Roads On Earth
Each trip commences with a step
We all have trips to make
We traverse different roads in life
As one goes up
Another goes down
Some go through long roads
Others have shorter paths to tread
Our daily trips are divine
As we journeyed towards life trips
Some roads are bumpy
Some are smooth
Some have stamina for marathon
Some move faster in a dash
Either long or short
Trials, challenges, obstacles
Are features to wrestle with on our roads
We need to be resilent
We need to damn odds
Whatever lane of the roads we are
Steadfastness is needed
Our trips on these roads
Shall end successfully
If we hold on to God..

Turn To Me
Turn to me, Burning me, Turn to me, Burning me
From all the taking down,
To the driving far away.
As if we're lost and found,
Removing us everyday yeah.
Pushing things too far,
Or never moving it along.
Forgiving and forget,
Only makes one person strong.
Hoping and finding, resisting, denying,
Hey, with your classic words of
Turn to me, that's what you say
When you're burning me, that's what you do
When you turn to me, need more days
And the time to turn you off.
Turn to me, that's what you say
When you're burning me, that's what you do
When you turn to me, need more days
And the time to turn you off.
There's no familiar face, or a hand to cling upon,
We've walked a short distance, but it took so very long.
Hoping and fighting, resisting, denying,
With your classic words of
Turn to me, that's what you say
When you're burning me that's what you do
When you turn to me, need more days
And the time to turn you off.
Knowing that we'll jump a little too high to live
Knowing that it's safe, but not safe enogh to give.
Your heart, your dream, no give, no recieve,
Respect, believe, turn to me.
Turn to me, burning me
Turn to me, time to turn you off,
Burning, me, turn to me, resisting, denying.
Turn to me, that's what you say
When you're burning me, that's what you do
When you turn to me, need more days
And the time to turn you off.
Turn to me, that's what you say
When you're burning me, that's what you do
When you turn to me, need more days
And the time to turn you off.
Oh why don't you, why don't you, why don't you, why don't you, why don't you
turn to me baby, time to turn you off,
Turning me not burning me, turning me not burning me, now turning me not
burning me, yeahhhhhh.
Turning me, oh burning me now na-ba-dupa-ba-dupa-ba-dupa yeahhhhhh
Turn me, oh burning me, why don't you burn me yeahhhhh
Turn to me, that's what you say
When you're burning me, that's what you do,
When you turn to me, need more days
And the time to turn you off.
Turn to me, that's what you say,
When you're burning me, that's what you do,

And the time to turn you off!!

Take Me Home, Country Roads
(bill danoff/taffy nivert/john denver)
Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia,mountain mama
Take me home,country roads
Almost heaven,west virginia
Blue ridge mountain,shenandoe river
Life is old there,older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like the breeze
Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia,mountain mama
Take me home,country roads
All my memories gather round her
Mine is lady,stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrop in my eye
Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia,mountain mama
Take me home,country roads
I hear her voice in the morning
Now she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I shouldve been home yesterday,yesterday
Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia,mountain mama
Take me home,country roads
Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia,mountain mama
Take me home,country roads
Take me home,country roads

Walk Away
If you knock love
And find I do not answer
Do me a favor
And please walk away
Many times,
I have opened the door
Of my heart, in vain
But this time I will not!
So please, walk away
Love, walk away...
Do not be like my wounds
That never heal or go...

Each Day As It Comes
We take each day as it comes
never knowing what we might find.
Some days are filled with sunshine
that brightens up our lives.
Some days are filled with rain
in these we feel life’s pain.
Some days are golden
filled with a warm loving glow
that fills us from head to toe.
Some days are black
when sorrow is rife
and we shed tears through the night.
Always me must take
each day as it comes
never knowing what we might find.
Making the most of what we get
as each day marches through.
We must live our life for now
and take tomorrow when it comes.
Holding on to what we have
for as long as we can.
