La Persisto

Your life is in such a brief instant
Why reign over barren land?
Abdicate, meditate, plant a seed,
Kick up dust as you take a stand.

Standing in fear gets you nowhere,
Let curiousity take the lead
At least you will keep moving forward
And arrive where you're destined to be

So stand and laugh out for your birthright
Begin the trek, no fear of dying
Your comfort zone left far behind you
And a heart that says Never Stop Trying

I Dont Think So

Dont stand in the open
Take a walk with me
Just come and see
Let me clear your vision
End my misery
Fait a compli
I fear my brain is getting clear
Dont stand so close, youre far too near
Love the life you lead
Just to lead the life you love
I dont think so
So much for the journey
I must stop this ride or well slip and slide
Stand firm and be counted
Let them know your mind
The truths unkind
I fear my brain is getting clear
Dont stand so close, youre far too near
Love the life you lead
Just to lead the life you love
I dont think so
I fear my brain is getting clear
Dont stand so close, youre far too near
Love the life you lead
Just to lead the life you love
I dont think so

There is no Fear

The people of this world, if against they stand,
There is no fear, there is no fear, nothing like fear.

Although, we are counted cheap and rebuked,
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.

If to beg for food, would be a life attained,
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.

Loveable possessions if, are lost,
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.

2. If clothed bosomed damsels, cast their eyes
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.

Poison in the mouth, if fed by friends
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.

Shielded armies, if to attack approach
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.

On the acme of my head, if the sky did crash and plummet down
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.

Front Line

I am a veteran of the war
I up and joined the army back in 1964
At sixteen I just had to be a man at any cost
I volunteered for Vietnam where I got my leg shot off
I recall a quote from a movie that said "who's more a man
Than a man with a reason that's worth dyin' for"
They had me standing on the front line
They had me standing on the front line
They had me standing on the front line
But now I stand at the back of the line when it comes to gettin' ahead
They gave me a uniform and a tiny salty pill
To stop the big urge I might have for the wrong kind of thrill
They put a gun in my hand and said, "shoot until he's dead"
But it's hard to kill when 'please your friend' echoes through your head
Brought up in church taught no man should take another's life
But then put in a jungle where life has no price
They had me standing on the front line
They had me standing on the front line
They had me standing on the front line
But now I stand at the back of the line when it comes to gettin' ahead
Back in the world the paper reads today
Another war is in the brewing
But what about the lives of yesterday
And the many happy families that have been ruined
My niece is a hooker and my nephew's a junkie too
But they say I have no right to tell them how they should do
They laugh and say "quit bragging" 'bout the war you should never have been in
But my mind is so brain-washed I'd prob'bly go back and do it again
I walk the neighborhood parading my purple heart
With a fear of agent orange that no one will stop
They had me standing on the front line
They had me standing on the front line
They had me standing on the front line
But now I stand at the back of the line when it comes to gettin' ahead
[Repeat 2 times...fade out]

Losing Life to Fear

In fear of being heard,

In fear of being understood,

In fear of not being heard,

In fear of not being understood,

In fear of being misheard,

In fear of being misunderstood,

In fear of hearing too much,

In fear of understanding too much,

In fear of saying too much,

In fear of saying too little,

In fear of being too enlightened,

In fear of not being factually correct,

In fear of being too bright,

In fear of being too ignorant,

In fear of being praised,

In fear of being bullied,

In fear of not being like others,

In fear of loosing my individuality,

In fear of being ostracized,

In fear of being camouflaged,

In fear of being the attraction,

In fear of being ignored,

In fear of being too different,

In fear of being too common,

In fear of following others,

In fear of disobeying others,

In fear of being too gullible,

In fear of being too stubborn,

In fear of being used,

In fear of being misused,

In fear of rewards,

In fear of punishments,

In fear of responsibility,

In fear of expectations,

In fear of being trusted,

In fear of being mistrusted,

In fear of your lack of response,

In fear of your over-reaction,

In fear of eternal silence,

In fear of noisy communication,

In fear of your acceptance,

In fear of your rejection,

In fear of exciting you,

In fear of upsetting you,

In fear of loving you,

In fear of hating you,

In fear of your love,

In fear of your hatred,

In fear of being loved,

In fear of being hated,

In fear of thinking,

In fear of existing,

In fear of living,

In fear of dying,

In fear of being myself,

In fear of being another,

In fear of knowing myself,

In fear of neglecting myself,

I lost my voice;

I lost my identity;

I lost my self.

I lost this life;

I lost my life;

I lost life's life.

Why Can't A Man Stand Alone? (live)

Why can't a man stand alone?
Must he be burdened by all that he's taught to consider his own?
His skin and his station, his kin and his crown, his flag and his nation
They just weigh him down
You know pride is a sin that we tend to forgive
But it gets hard to live
When you don't have the love in her heart to begin with
Why can't a man stand alone?
Why can't a woman be just what she seems?
Must she be tarnished by men who can only be men in their dreams?
When beauty meets ignorance they shout in the street
Repeating their offer to each girl they meet
The respect that she needs, it isn't a gift
But it gets hard to lift yourself up
When you don't have the strength to begin with
Why can't a woman stand alone?
Why can't a baby sleep at night and dream of the time to come
And never fear the world outside the touch of someone very near
Why can't a man stand up?
Why can't a man stand up?
Why can't a man stand alone?

Stepping out of the Shadows

Afraid to do the things I really want to do,

Afraid to express what they are for fear of hurting you,

Afraid to say them out loud because someone might hear,

Afraid to tell the truth about what I really fear!

To live in fear is what we all do each and every day.

To admit it to ourselves is something we dare not ever say.

To step out of our comfort zone and do what we really feel,

Creates so much fear deep within, it can never be for real.

Those that came before us set the trend for what we dare,

Little did they know they were limiting us by fear,

Their intention seemed good back then, or so they really thought,

We sold our soul to trends, our creativity was bought!

How do we lose the fear that's our's and get back to being true.

How do we stand big and tall and do all that we can do.

We start by being not afraid and doing what we want,

Perhaps we can shake off the dust and wash away the taunt.

The taunt that says it must be so, it's always been that way,

We sleep at night and try to cram all things into the day.

Whose rules are these I ask of you, they were not born with me,

Perhaps they grew out back with you beside the money tree.

My money tree is dead and gone without ever bearing a dime,

I tried your way and lived in fear for quite a long long time.

My fear is gone and so I must create and start things new,

The trends are gone, I'm not afraid, I wish the same for you!

If I Did Not Believe

My hope would vanish in the wind
My joy would disappear
My peace would crumble into dust
I would not shed a tear

My love would melt and fear would reign
I'd lose my nightly song
There'd be no purpose for my life
I'd know not right from wrong

My only thoughts would be of me
And what I could achieve
I'd live my life so selfishly
If I did not believe

And when my moment came to die
And stand before the throne
I would not have an advocate
I'd stand there all alone

And for all eternity
For those who don't receive
You'll suffer loss eternally
If you do not believe

I Stand In The Fog, Afraid To Move

I stand in the Fog, afraid to move.
I might Fall. It calls. It wants me. I fear It.
The Crag, Hole, Mouth, End, Edge, Crack, Ledge, Bottom, Pull.
All names for It.
It wants me, but It knows I will not come to It.
It sends the Fog, Confuser, Deceiver, Trickster, Liar.
It sends the Fog to fetch me, confuse me, trick me, bring me to It.
I fear It, despise It, but secretly, want It, need It.
I stand trapped, struck, frozen.
The Tug, Light, Meadow, Life, calling me also.
I want to go, but I fear the Fog and It.
I do not know where It is.
The Tug and Pull.
They fight over me.
I beg for them to stop, for the Fog to life so I can walk away, but the Fog will not fade.
I stand in the Fog, afraid to move.

Stop Running

stop runing from the pain

stop runing from the sorrow

you got to stop runing or you may not see

Tomorrow you have to find your self along

the way let every thing you feel wash away

you stand up for your self you will say

no more fear no more hopeness

say i will not fear love i will

not fear hope i will not fear me....

Fear

I live in fear,
of being me,
showing who I really am,
and who I'm meant to be.

Fear is painful,
for me to take,
it's like telling me that,
I'll never amount to anything.

I can't believe that,
I'm so afraid,
of what's left for me,
in this world.

I know it seems crazy,
that I won't show,
my heart to all,
I wish you knew.

I live in fear,
of loving you,
of it being true,
and of telling you.

It's the biggest fear,
that I have,
and it's about time,
I told you it.

I fear that one day,
I stop loving you,
and that same day,
you begin to love me.

It's honestly,
the biggest fear I have,
I'll love you always,
but I'll always have this fear.

I Live In Fear

i live
in fear of dying

i walk in the streets,
in fear of being ran over

i sink in the water,
in fear of drowning

i staw away from you,
in fear of losing you

i cut myself,
in fear of bleeding

i destroy flowers,
in fear of getting tehm

i give away my heart,
in fear of having it stolen

i hate myself,
in fear of hating otehrs

i seclude myself,
in fear of being secluded by others

i kill myself,
in fear in fear

My Biggest Fear

I have this feeling it’s called fear
I have the fear of who will be dying or will I be next?
If I stop think about “how can I have myself prepare? “.
This fear is consuming me.
It’s like stealing something from me.

I don’t know what it is….
How to deal with it
I want to see it........

Can anyone help me to see?
Does this feeling go away?
Are these feelings real or fake.

I also have a fear of not achieving my dreams
That thought makes me want to scream.
I have Fear of my life.Every day that’s not much
I could say on that, I try give it my strife

The real world gives me fear too.
Sometimes, “I wish everything would disappear
Instead appear into fear”.

The Fear of losing my mother before I am ready to let her go.
What road do I take so I won’t let fear win.
Fear takes my thoughts of losing my husband, and
losing one of my children too.
Even though, I almost did loose a child.

I can let the fear, do what it is doing..
I fear of losing my dearest friend.
I am sorry I cant pretend that fear is not here.

The fear of my own death and the cause of it will be?

I don’t want to see.

The fear of my lifestyle should it be the way it should be lived?

or should it be change?

Do I dear change it, but how?

I know that I have a fear of being alone.

It’s the unknown

Is My Biggest Fear

Stand By

Youve got to learn, youve got to learn how to follow the leader
Youve got to turn, turn off your pride and youre life will be sweeter
Love comes from god, surely, surely, surely you can see that
If you check out your heart, theres a part that youre keeping from me
Why dont you hold on tight, make this flight, weve got the whole night
Saddle up your gear, have no fear, we are here, hey
Better make it soon, give me room, come on and stand by me
Come on and stand by, cause there is no time, no time to sit
Ill bet youll be quick about it, and I know you will,
Once you learn that you cant live without it
Lord only knows how long, how long, how long I have waited
And the moment is near, line em up, get em ready at the gate
Were gonna keep em strong, moving on, weve got the whole night
No looking back, where its at, its right now, hey
Better make it soon, give me room, come on and stand by me
Theres gonna be no looking back, so baby, take everything youll ever need
Sure nough moving on, keep it strong, its a whole new game and a brand new street
You know, uh, you said you would if you could, Ill make it good to ya
Dont you stop til we get to the top, hey, ninety-nine and a half just wont do, stand by me
Hey, hey, if its real, what you feel, come on and stand by
Dont you stop til we get to the top, hey, ninety-nine and a half just wont do, stand by me
Come on and stand by, ha, stand by me, hey, hey, hey
(repeat stand by me, hey, hey, hey)

Don't Cry Little Angel

Don't cry little angel,
Your heart is in good hands.
You'll go the distance,
You'll travel distant lands.
Don't worry little angel,
Your tears will soon disappear.
You'll kill the pain and stand
With out fear.
Don't run little angel,
I won't let you down.
With my caress, and all the faith,
You'll forget how to frown.
Keep standing little angel,
Because I won't let you fall.
Believe it, I was there with
Just one call.
Don't hide little angel,
There's no need to conceal.
Don't fear what your thinking,
Don't fear what you feel.
Just sing little angel,
Let heaven hear the voice it made.
Your melody is strong,
Your harmony won't fade.
You can laugh little angel,
You just don't forget.
Laughing heals the soul,
No one's proven me wrong yet.
So smile little angel,
Release your beauty from within.
Destroy the past,
Let the future begin.
So don't cry little angel,
Because you can already see.
You can always and forever,
Forever count on me.

Nothing To Fear

What freezes love in your eyes
What steals the force from your life
What holds us ransom tonight
What stops you seeing yourself?
Only fear can stand
On potentials hands
This is the greatest day of your life
If you make it
And the old spells you know
They can be broken
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
The greatest faults can be beaten
The grandest problems defeated
Impossible choices completed
Infinite pain will be treated
Only fear can stand
On potentials hands
This is the greatest day of your life
And we made it
And the old spells you know
cause they can be broken
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
This is the greatest day of your life
And weve made it
Break the old spells
Oh, let them be broken
Nothing to fear
No, nothing to fear
This is the greatest day
Break the old spells and throw them away
Break the old spells
Dont yknow they can be broken
No, nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear

So U Think U Can

Break the ice, break the silence
Keep the spirit, keep the word.
U ‘ll leave behind the signs
Know no man by birth is lord
So if u think u can
Give the thought a positive turn
Thy shall then stand tall of all men.

The way u see things
Is the way u try doing
Now give ur views the wings
And air, ur way should be moving
So if u think u can
Give ur views different flight
Thy shall then fly above all men.

Break the cloud of fear
Always that stops u to start
Know everything can happen here
& a silly fear cannot stop pulling cart
So if u think u can't
Give ur fear a thought
That it can never stop a start.

Stop right away those tears
Know they don't wash any fear
Before u see ur life wears
Build up hope and freeze those tears
So if u think u cant
Give ur tear that kind of feel
That comes when u had happy meal.

Know a thought of CAN is hindered
When u r silent and visioned
Know a thought of CAN'T is killing
When u r in a tear or in fear,
That hides the way u can hear…
the job u think u CAN………………

I Cant Stand Up For

Im the living result
Im a man whos been hurt a little too much
And Ive tasted the bitterness of my own tears
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel
I cant stand up for falling down
I cant stand up for falling down
Simple though love is
Still it confused me
Why Im not loved the way I should be
Now Ive lived with heartaches
And Ive roomed with fear
Ive dealt with despair
And Ive wrestled with tears
I cant stand up for falling down
I cant stand up for falling down
The vow that we made
You broke it in two
But that dont stop me from loving you
I cant stand up for falling down
I cant stand up for falling down

Funny in a way

I have waited most of my life
waiting for mister right to arrive
when he was already here

I have fought broke up many times before
still he would comfort me, cheer me and as he shuts the door
he would say honey no one deserves that tear

I don’t know how I could never realize
when he was the only one who could read my eyes
and tell me what It is I fear

he only used to listen and stand
yet right away he could understand
I need him close and near

Stand Up

I got to know right now
It's got to be this time
I wanna show you how
Gonna make you change your mind
There's an empty chair at my table
There's an empty look in your eyes
Ooh, that's right
I just happen to be a man
And you happen to be a woman
And we happen to be together
Try to stop this thing comin'
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take a little love and shake it all around, stand up
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and throw me to the ground
Down to the ground, baby come on
Stand up, stand up for love
I'm gonna play your game
I wanna play with fire
I want to breathe your air
Baby, gonna take you there
If you lay your cards on the table
I'll lay my love on the line
Till you're mine
I just happen to be a man
And you happen to be a woman
And we happen to be together
Try to stop this thing comin'
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take a little love and shake it all around, stand up
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and throw me to the ground
Down to the ground, baby come on
Stand up, stand up for love
You couldn't get it much better
You never had it so good
Stand up together
And when you're ready to
You're gonna get what you should
Little by little
Like a fine wine
My love is like a motor
Runnin' all the time
Step by step
Easy and slow
On the stairway to heaven
What a way to go
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take a little love and shake it all around, stand up
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and throw me to the ground, stand up
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and show me what you found, stand up
Stand up, kick love into motion
My love is like a motor runnin' all the time, stand up
Stand up, yeah, kick love into motion
I said step by step
Go easy, go slow, stand up
Stand up, kick love into motion
Yeah, on a stairway to heaven
What a way to go, stand up
