Human Nature

Then she said
' Look, I have this.. more than two! '
Among her half-forced

A little smile at the end of the raised lip
Slowly i whispered: ' Even I have more than two, but I never busy showing off to the world '

Whatever it is - that's the human
I expected to be able to understand

Half The World

Half the world lives,
Half the world makes,
Half the world gives
While the other half takes.

Half the world hates,
Half the world runs away,
Half the world's late,
Half the world praises the day.

Half the world is,
Half the world was,
Half the world thinks,
Half the world does.

Half the world lies,
Half the world burns,
Half the world cries
While the other half turns.

Half the world cares,
Half the world weeps,
Half the world shares,
Half the world keeps.

Half the world sings,
Half the world laughs,
Half the world brings,
Half the world tries to be the other half.

End.

Half The World

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
Half the world hates
What half the world does every day
Half the world waits
While half gets on with it anyway
Half the world lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes
Half the world is
Half the world was
Half the world thinks
While the other half does
Half the world talks
With half a mind on what they say
Half the world walks
With half a mind to run away
Half the world lies
Half the world learns
Half the world flies
As half the world turns
Half the world cries
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries
To be the other half
Half of us divided like a torn-up photograph half of us are
Trying to reach the other half
Half the world cares
While half the world is wasting the day
Half the world shares
While half the world is stealing away

Letting go of the bad and showing the world who i am

I am tired of feeling hurt
I am tired of feeling used
I am tired of feeling unworth
I am letting go of you
I am letting go of pain
I am letting go of shame
I am letting go of darkness
I am letting go of bitterness
I am letting go of all the bad and only waiting for the good
I am taking in the light and coming out from underneath my hood
I will show the world my eyes and my smile
I am showing the world My laughter and ability to be wild
I am showing the world its wrong and that I will go on
I am showing the world I am in control
I am showing the world all the things i'm letting go
I am showing the world my joy and my tears
I am showing the world my screams and my fears
I am showing the world who i am and where I've been
I am showing the world all that i can
I will show the world who i am inside and out
I will show the world i don't care if its me they talk about

I Come Tumblin

I come tumblin down, from the darkness i, stretch my arms out to, catch the sound, yeah.
I hear grumblin and, broken heartness is, slowly spreading and, going round.
Half the people are, never knowing and, never caring and never showing, their ...
... love for sisters, as well as brothers. lets, teach our children to, love each other.
Slowly coming the, thought of losing the world is ever so near.
Lets start showing and, lets start growing with love theres nothing to fear.
Da, da, da-da, da; da, da, da-da, da; da, da, da-da, da; da, da, da-da, da;

just how right I am

I just can’t understand
how it is that
the world can’t understand
how right I am
and how wrong it is

OK, we’ll excuse the world, for the moment,
since it is far removed from my person
and my mind
so it can’t really be expected to understand my
unfailing rightness:
just how right I am and how just I am;
but the family, my family –
no, not the family of man
but the damned family of mine, my blood and bones and skin –
I can’t understand for the world of me
why my own family
that eats at the table with me
can’t understand
how right I am
and wrong they are…
just how right I am
and how just I am…
Look, I can understand about the world
but I just can’t understand
how the family….

I mean, this is where the family is important
for if the family can give me
just a little support –
just a teeny-weeny bit – I mean how much
does it take
for the family to see
how right I am
and how wrong the family is.
Is that really asking for too much?
You see, I’m sure you can see,
if only the family could agree
the world itself would see
how right I am…
But what is to be done?
prophets are never accepted
in their own home
and so in their own family too…
and so perhaps the truth lies in this cliché…

still, if one looks at it clearly,
I just can’t understand
how it is that
the world, which includes that silly family of mine,
can’t understand
how right I am
and how wrong it is

Busy

I am busy
you are busy
we are busy
but the old woman needs help
to find her way home.

I am busy
you are busy
we are busy
but the dove is too slow
to fly out of the way.

I am busy
you are busy
we are busy
but the children crossing the street
are too many.

I am busy
you are busy
we are busy....

I am busy
you are busy
we are...
busy.

Raised To Be Independent

I did not understand it then,
But I was in good hands...
When I was raised to be independent.
And learning at an early age,
What it takes to accept in life...
About those things I had to do,
And did not like!

I did not understand it then,
The taking on of responsibilities...
That seem to have no end.
The crying alone inside,
And not showing not a tear outside.
For fear an assessment of it,
Would earn another name to be called.

I did not understand it then,
How to be patient with an ignorance displayed...
At my expense.
Or...
An unconscious ignorance everyone pays,
For the dispense of it!

I did not understand it then,
But I was in good hands...
When I was raised to be independent.
And learning at an early age,
What it takes to accept about my life...
And those things I had to do,
But did not like!

A Song Of Spring

The Spring comes slowly up this way,
Slowly, slowly,
Under a snood of hodden grey.

The black and white for her array,
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up this way.

Where is her green that was so gay?
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up this way.

Unto a world too sick for May,
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up this way.

Where are the lads that used to play?
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up this way.

She has no heart for holiday,
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up this way.

The trees are out in Heaven they say.
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up our way.

A Little Smile From You =)

A little smile from you
Can cure the wounds of a soldier
Who just returned from war in his heart
Defeated by anger and lost from home

A little smile from you
Can tame the beast inside of a man
Who couldn’t understand how his world works
And raised his depression to the level of madness

A little smile from you
Can forgive the sins that lie within hearts
Of people who couldn’t see how wonderful life is
If they would stop being ignorant and pretending to be blind

A little smile from you
Can filter any deliberate effort of assumptions
Filled by immediate prejudices and empty opinions
That created discrimination and biases toward others

A little smile from you
Can make a person or two smile as well
Maybe all the people are just like you
Who need a smile to inspire the day for the better

Adrian (feat. Elvis Costello)

Adrian - don't you understand?
Fools like us are always dreaming.
And when you go to bed
And cover up your head
It's better if you try to stop remembering.
And the world is slowly dawning
To wake up to a new clear morning.
Some of them just half your age
Get written off, page by page...
Adrian don't you understand?
Fools like us are always dreaming.
And when you go to bed
And cover up your head
It's better if you try to stop remembering.
Some of them just half your age
Get written off page by page...
And the world is softly sleeping
While your fears are in their keeping.
All the planet's making haste
To blow to bits in outer space...
Adrian - don't you understand

Innocence Of A Smile

I sat in a crowded place
Chatting with my mother
Leaving the conversation
I realized there were others
I sat and talked and ate
As I looked around at people
Some too busy to be friendly
And some with a smile, but feeble
When I was about to leave
I saw a person in front of me
He threw at me a friendly smile
And I smiled back at him sweetly
As I walked away I realized
The innocence of that smile
No intentions of cheat or deceit
No extraordinary display of style
Then innocent smile that I received
Changed the way I thought of life
Now I'm not afraid of any suspicion
That might arise from a smile
I thank that stranger
For making me feel so right
Thank you for showing me
The innocence of a smile

Fill The Universe With Smile

Smile
And
Smile,
Against The odds, and
Against your free will.

Smile,
And let it fly by itself;
A smile knows where it flies and where it goes.
Make it happen;
A smile
Is divine,

A chock wave
that crosses
The universe
Half-half
Like two lips
In a full smile.

Plenty Of Shared Lip Service

Those unfamiliar with leadership,
Should not be expected
To understand it.

There are more accustomed,
To being followers.
And it can be annoying,
To hear them whining.
Bickering amongst themselves,
In footsteps from behind.

One who leads,
Hardly sleeps or properly eats.
Thinking of the whole as one entity,
And not several pieces to see pleased.

One who leads,
Had to learn to listen.
And those who have no idea what this means
Often pass judgement,
With a seeking to do it.
At every given opportunity.

Those unfamiliar with leadership,
Should not be expected.
To understand it.
What 'can' be expected from those unaware,
Is plenty of shared lip service.
And a volunteering of their mocked despair.

She Cares

Written by tommy shaw
Lead vocals by tommy shaw
I tried to be the perfect soldier
I tried to be what everyone said was expected
Somehow I was selected
Well, my hands were steady, my aim was true
But deep inside of my heart I knew
That I lacked the will
I just couldnt shoot to kill
And still she treats me like a human
She says shell still be there
I may not be a hero, but Ill be there
Because I know she cares
I worked hard to be the greatest lover
I wanted to be sure that I was her only one
Thats how I thought it was done
But I went too far, assumed too much
The need to feel a younger ones touch
Seemed important then
Oh what a fool Ive been
And still she treats me like a human (like a human)
She says shell still be there (that shell be there)
I dont quite understand it, shes been too fair
cause somehow she cares
I guess thats the way it goes, the way that it goes
And nobody knows what compels her
Shes seen my highs and lows and never let go
Oh yes she treats me like a human (like a human)
She says shell still be there (that shell be there)
I dont quite understand it, shes been too fair
cause somehow she cares
I guess thats the way it goes, the way that it goes
And nobody knows what compels her
Shes seen my highs and lows and never let go
And when the world has turned its back on me
I wont have to feel alone
cause I know she cares

Beyond Belief

“You’ll never believe, what it is that I see”
Said the old man just before he died

He squeezed my hand tightly, as he whispered lightly
And he pulled me down to his side

“I wouldn’t have believed, ” he said with a sigh
As I put my ear close to his lips

His dim eyes brightened, as his hand slowly rose
he pointed into space with thin fingertips

“It’s not…not at all, what you’d think it to be, ”
He whispered, as his hand… slowly fell to the bed

“We were wrong, all of us wrong, It goes on you see! ”
Barely audible now, slowly lowered his head

I put my hand on his brow, my cheek against his… tenderly
I could sense the ebb of his final tide

“You’d never, …ever believe, what it is that I see, ”
His eyes closed…he smiled…then he died

With My Finger Up And Raised

Tired of deceivers,
And the lies they leave...
Yes I am.
Yes I am.

Tired of the thieves,
And corruption of beliefs...
Yes I am.
Yes I am.

Tired of false faces that come.
Tired of those fixed smiles done.
Tired of the running by some...
Of those who say they care!

But not one woe I will do!

Tired of deceivers,
And the lies they leave...
Yes I am.
Yes I am.

Tired of the thieves,
And corruption of beliefs...
Yes I am.
Yes I am.

But not a single woe I will do.
And....
Not a woe I will do will prove...
With my finger up and raised!

Tired of the thieves,
And corruption of beliefs...
Yes I am.
Yes I am.

Tired of deceivers,
And the lies they leave...
Yes I am.
Yes I am.

But not a single woe I will do.
And....
Not a woe I will do will prove.
Or a showing I have had it,
With attitude.
And my finger up and raised!

But not a single woe I will do.
No.
Not a woe I will do will prove...
Or a showing I have had it,
With attitude.
And my finger up and raised!

With my finger up and raised!

'You don't need your finger up and raised.'

With my finger up and raised!

'You don't need your finger up and raised.'

With my finger up and raised!

'You don't need your finger up and raised.'

With my finger up and raised!

Song For Judy

you have a funny way of showing it
you have a funny way about
taking all my love and breakin'
don't you know the world is aching, somewhere
you have a funny way about
it's in the sadness in your smile
please try to understand
you'll make an honest man of me yet
i'll take that second chance
as if love was romance
please try to understand
you have a funny way of giving up
it's just the little things that you do
taking all my strength and shakin'
out the doors that i've been savin', someday
please try to understand
you'll make an honest man of me yet
i'll take that second chance
as if love was romance
you have a funny way
you have a funny way
please try to understand
you have a funny way with love

Story Of Desire

forced by desire to write
one night I took a pen and paper under light
I dreamed, imagined and not what I did
Still could not make the pen and paper meet

I looked inside as well as outside
But failed to find a subject to describe
The wind blew and moon appeared
But they did not made my mind delight

I thought and thought and fought a lot
And slowly my will began to broke..
At the end, I forced my desire to die..
With a smile, of course of failure and shy! !

Smile..! ! !

a smile comes out of nowhere
it brings with it love and cheer
a smile sets our moods right
it brings loved ones near

a smile is contagious
and there is no cure
and when you get it
happiness is for sure

a smile doesn't wait for any occasion
a smile doesn't really need a reason
it can come when you're least expected
a smile can come any day, any season

it spreads around, and soon you'll see
a smile on everyone's face
pass it on, don't be shy
and soon, soo happy the world will be

so now you know what a smile is worth
what joy and happiness it can create
and like the saying, you all know well
'a smile is a curve that sets everything straight'
