Miss Mistreated
I know you been runnin around
I know what you been sayin
I treat you wrong, keep lettin you down
Im not giving what Im taking
So hurt...deep inside
You say thers nothin to it
But my eyes are open wide
And I dont know why you do it
You say I cheated, you say that I lied
People tell ya Im taking you for a ride
Oh but baby they lied...
Give you my love, Ill give you all of my time
Just to keep you satisfied
Its never enough until its over the time
So youre livin on the wild side
Undercover lovers late at night
Wont take the pain away...
Two wrongs dont make a right
But you wanna make me pay

Starlight
Starlight
Rains tears upon me
Starlight
Show worlds we can't see
Starlight
Bring light to the sky
Starlight
Shows time can pass by
Starlight
Is alternate life
Starlight
Is passion and strife
Starlight
Brings love to life
Starlight
Is sharp as a knife
Starlight
Burns through the sky
Starlight
For you and I

When Will I Be Loved
I've been cheated, been mistreated.
When will I be Loved.
I've been put down,
I've been pushed 'round.
When will I be loved?
When I find a new Girl, that I want for mine.
She always breaks my heart in 2,
Happens every time.
I've been mad blue,
I've been lied to.
When will I be Loved?
When I find a new girl, that I want for mine.
She always breaks my heart in 2.
Happens every time..
I've been cheated, been mistreated.
When will I be loved?
When will I be loved?
When will I be loved?

The talking animal's
As I become, a fictitious narrative.
Creating a fable story, about a dog, cat and a mice.
The dog name Bog, the cat name Spat, and the mice is Spice.
Bog said to Spat, why are you chasing Spice?
Spat said, because, I want some of that rodent slice's.
So, you want to cut him into piece's.
I am hungry, Bog! Spice come to me, I protect you?
Okay Bog, I hope you really, going to protect me.
Spat get back, please! I don't want to hurt you?
So you think im a cat; I can't beat you?
We going to find out, Spat the big alley cat.
Bog the little mutt; you a bluff Bog.
Spat, end up, chasing the both of them.

Galadriel
My love is turning.
Like a wheel of fire she burns her way.
My love is burning.
She's a light to guide me through the fray.
Galadriel, spirit of starlight.
Eagle and dove gave birth to thee.
Galadriel, spirit of starlight.
You are my love and earth to me, my
Love and earth to me.
My love is seeing.
Through unabiased eyes she reads the signs.
My love is searching.
For new life somewhere she's bound to find.
Galadriel, spirit of starlight.
Eagle and dove give birth to thee.
Galadriel, spirit of starlight.
You are my love and earth to me.
My love and earth to me.

Starbright
Starligt starbright O I've wished on you many nights
Starlight starbright you always make it right
I can't remember life before you, my star
Tomorrow I won't remember the desperation
I always lose the fight starlight
The first star I see tonight
I need you one more night
Starlight starlight starbright
I need that wish tonight
In the day I'm not so tempted, my star
I even think I'm strong, but darkness falls upon me
All resistance is gone
Starlight starbright O starlight
Can I just use you one more night
You make everything feel right starlight
I wish I may, I wish I might
I wish I didn't need you
Starlight my star.
She'll Be There
When your dreams have died around you
She'll be there
When you need a hand to guide you
She'll be there
And when you feel rejected
'Cause life is not what you expected
I know that she'll be there
If I hadn't lied and cheated
She'd be here
If she wasn't so mistreated
She'd be here
And if you don't abuse her
I know you'll never ever lose her
And she will always be there
I was too late to discover
How much I really did love her
But now her place is with you
And I must face it
It's over, we're through
She'll be there, she'll be there
And if you don't abuse her
I know you'll never ever lose her
And she will always be there
She'll be there
She'll be there
She'll be there

She's Movin' In With Rico

When your dreams have died around you,
She'll be there,
When you need a hand to guide you,
She'll be there,
And when you feel rejected,
'Cause life is not what you expected,
I know that she'll be there.
If I hadn't lied and cheated,
She'd be here,
If she wasn't so mistreated,
She'd be here,
And if you don't abuse her,
I know you'll never, ever lose her,
And she will always be there.
I was too late to discover
How much I really did love her
But now her place is with you
And I must face it, it's over, we're through.
She'll be there,
She'll be there.
And if you don't abuse her,
I know you'll never, ever lose her,
And she will always be there.
She'll be there,
She'll be there,
She'll be there.

Seven and half years ago I began my own journey. For me and my family it was a time of adversity. But during that adversity I derived a deeper faith. And born out of that adversity was a commitment to devote myself to those people and to those issues that truly matter to me.

Heart Of The Moment
Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you.
You girl
you've always been mistreated
cheated.
So leave it all behind you
I took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever
Ever and more
more
oh.
Don't cry now that Iire found you
Don't cry
take a look around you
Don't cry
it took so long to find you.
Do what you want
but
little Darling
Please - don't cry.
I know I'd never doubt it
I was so sure about it
DonY think of all that's been before.
I'll here you when you're calling.
Ill catch you when you're falling
Don't worry
I will always be there like never before.
Don't cry
now that I've found you
. . .
Don't cry
now that I've found you
. . .

Adversity
Adversity, adversity, how strange is your fate.
To most it’s loss and sorrow compounded by a spate
Of shallow glances, lost chances
Nourishing doubts and fears,
With ignominious ignorance,
Washed down by gushing tears.
For these sad souls adversity is a cruel happenstance.
Even before its advent they were afforded little chance.
Though adversity, intrinsically favors neither side,
Some souls advance… even enhance their dance,
While all others continue their downward slide.
This august group knows adversity by another name.
Adversity and opportunity to them sound much the same.
Travails, trauma, thunder clouds are all ways they learn.
Journeys unclear and dangers near they miss not a turn
In their effort to bestow good fortune they have received
So less fortunate souls may sense what it is to be relieved.

Five Long Years
(by eddie boyd)
Have you ever been mistreated? you know just what Im talking about.
Have you ever been mistreated? you know just what Im talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.
I got a job in a steel mill, shucking steel like a slave.
Five long years, every friday I come straight back home with all my pay.
Have you ever been mistreated? you know just what Im talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.
I finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago.
The next woman that I marry, she gonna work and bring me the dough.
Have you ever been mistreated? you know just what Im talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve,
She had the nerve,
She had the nerve,
She had the nerve to put me out.

Mistreated
Ive been mistreated, Ive been abused.
Ive been struck downhearted, baby, Ive been confused
cause I know, yes, I know Ive been mistreated.
Since my baby left me Ive been losing my mind, you know I have.
Ive been lonely, Ive been cold.
Ive been looking for a woman to have and hold
cause I know, yes, I know Ive been mistreated.
Since my baby left me Ive been losing, Ive been losing,
Ive been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Ive been mistreated, Ive been abused.
Ive been looking for a woman, yeh, Ive been confused
cause I know, yes, I know Ive been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me Ive been losing, losing,
Ive been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.
Ive been losing my mind.

Discredited
Three million women without mates
In lonely homes on earth!
And Cupid sighs at heaven's gates,
Where many a spirit ego waits
Its call again to birth.
Three million women, meant to be
The mothers of the race!
But when war reaps on land and sea
Its harvests for Eternity,
Poor Hymen hides his face.
I think Earth has discredited
Itself in God's good sight:
He does not care to have souls bred,
Where peace, and love, and joy are fled,
Until we set things right.
He meant earth for a Garden Spot
Where spirits could return,
And build new heavens as they ought;
And now behold! what men have wrought
By deeds that blight and burn.
So, vain the waiting egos quest
For pathways back to birth:
And vain the longing and unrest
In many a cheated mother breast.
God does not like the earth!
It must be cleansed and purified
Of selfishness and strife,
Of grasping greed and lust and pride,
Before He lets His Angels guide
The egos back to life.

You are praised as You should be.
But how can I express
