Success
Add something
Extra to turn
The ordinary
To extraordinary
Try hard
And improve
Let this process
Be continuous
Short's life
Time's long
This moment, real
Let this not be lost.
Easy to say
I know not
And easier to find
What you don't
Make progress
Step by step
Success will be
At your doorstep.

A little extra, from an extra ordinary woman
She goes out of her way and travels that extra mile
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She consoles you, smiles with you, cries with you and for you
A little extra than anyone else
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She spends on you a little extra than she does on her own self
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She uses her extra strength and wisdom to pick you up when you fall
She blinds her sight to your imperfections
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She loves you a little extra just to stand out different
From all those who love you
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She starves herself so that you may eat a little extra
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She forgives you all the time
Even when you guilty mind knows you don’t deserve such kindness
Because she is an extra ordinary woman
She may not be the most perfect woman but
She is indeed an extra ordinary woman
She is your mother, your wife, your fiancee, your girlfriend
Your sister, your grandmother and your daughter
You best appreciate her

The road to success
The Road to Success
We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Do you have a vision?
Do you have a mission?
You need one even if it is inspired by television
We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Critically look at your personal development
Grizzle over the final accomplishment
Decide on the instruments you need at the moment?
On its road, there are many paths to take
With many sacrifices along the way to make
Patience, faith and hard work, please don’t forsake
Or your dreams will pour empty into a wide lake
We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Is your vision greater than greatness?
You are the first one you must try to impress
Take a step at a time and do not digress
For success when achieved, I say without sarcasm
Is more gratifying than any orgasm

No Step
I looked out of my window, saw a stencil black,
No step. no step.
There were nervous mothers with children crying in the back.
No step. no step.
Someone bought me my ticket, now Im on the wing.
Hope my angels are watching me, do I hear them sing?
No step. no step.
Those afterburners cut in and kicked us high.
No step. no step.
The thin air shimmered, the sun cut through and burned my eye.
No step. no step.
Someone bought me my ticket, now Im on the wing.
Hope my angels are watching me, do I hear them sing?
No step.
No step no step.
No step no step.
No step no step.
Give me a jet stream schooner or a crew-legged goose.
No step. no step.
Im a clear-air jockey when they turn me loose
No step. no step.
Someone bought me my ticket to the captains seat.
Will the shakes soon leave me, will I find my feet?
No step. no step.
No step. no step.
No step.

Right Now
Dont wanna wait til tomorrow,
Why put it off another day?
One more walk through problems,
Built up, and stand in our way ,ah
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans, dont dream about yesterday, hey
Cmon turn, turn this thing around
Right now, hey
Its your tomorrow
Right now,
Cmon,its everything
Right now,
Catch a magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm,
And nothing falls into place, no
Only missed by a fraction,
Slipped a little off your pace, oh,
The more things you get, the more you want,
Just trade in one for the other,
Workin so hard, to make it easier, whoa,
Got to turn, cmon turn this thing around
Right now, hey
Its your tomorrow
Right now,
Cmon, its everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
Its enlightened me, right now
What are you waitin for
Oh, yeah, right now
(solo)
Right now, hey
Its your tomorrow
Right now,
Cmon, its everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, and do it right,
Right now
Right now, oh, right now
Its whats happening?
Right here and now
Right now
Its right now
Oh,
Tell me, what are you waiting for
Turn this thing around

Not an ordinary girl
She walked along a windy road
That so many before her trod
The Lord saw fit to bless her rich
With father, mother and sibling each
Yet she was not an ordinary girl
She had 2 eyes,2 ears, of course 2 lips
But not the sort to cause men's flips
Her hips were okay for a sashay
But I swear we'd seen better in SA
Yet she was not an ordinary girl
She was possessed of charm and wits
And once in a while caused laughing fits
Her brain was sharp, her heart was kind
But millions of her, easy to find
Yet she was not an ordinary girl
She worked as hard as the next man
Her ambition, part of a simple plan
Provide a home, the basic needs
Nothing very lofty about those deeds
Yet she was not an ordinary girl
As far as we see, there's no mystery
In this our dear girl's history
And so I ask, dear friend pray tell
What's so extraordinary, bout this damsel
That makes her not an ordinary girl
It's in the way she holds her head
It's in the way her laugh is heard
Observe her over brightened eyes
Notice her gait, oh! how she glides
She's definitely not an ordinary girl
One distinction indeed, does make her bold
In her heart solid gold, a secret of old
She's earned within her short lifespan
The love of an extraordinary man
Yes! she's definitely not an ordinary girl

World Falling Down
I never thought life would be easy
Take it from me its not easy
When youre living on your own
And now I face it (and even now I take it)
One day at a time (one step at a time)
Then I try to rise
Each time I fall
Try to find a way
Of getting through it all
I used to believe in you
Now I need someone else to turn to
Any though its only a matter of time
That when you lose the magic
Suddenly your world comes falling down
All around you
And though it seems so tragic
Even when theres no one else around
You hear the sound
Of another world falling down
Leaving your memories behind me
Hoping that nothing reminds me
Praying that I can forget
And even now I take it
One step at a time, and now i
Face the future eye to eye
I know it wont be easy, but Ill get by

Nobodys Fool
Step up step up (step up)
Step up step up (step up)
Step up step up
Step up
Fall back, take a look at me
And youll see
Im for real
I feel what only I can feel
And if that dont appeal to you
Let me know
And Ill go
Cuz I flow
Better when my colors show
And thats the way it has to be
Honestly
Cuz creativity
Could never bloom
In my room
Id throw it all away before I lie
So dont call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone Ive got a backbone stronger than yours
(step up) la la la la la la la (step up)
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

If youre tryin to turn me into someone else

If youre tryin to turn me into something else
Ive seen it enough and Im over that
(not nobodys fool) not nobodys fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Dont know
You think you know me like yourself
But I fear
That youre only telling me what I wanna hear
But do you give a damn?
Understand
That I cant
Not be what I am
Im not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
Its not that simple here we go not so soon
I might have fallen for that when I was fourteen
In a little morph green
But its amazing what a couple of years can mean
(step up) la la la la la la la (step up)
La la la la la la la la (step up) la la la la la la la

Then go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Go
Go ahead and try
Try to look me in the eye
But youll never see inside
Until you realize, (realize)
Things are tryin to settle down
Just try to figure out
Exactly what Im about
If its with or without you
I dont need ya doubting me
If youre tryin to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see Im not down with that
(not nobodys fool) not nobodys fool
If youre tryin to turn me into something else
Ive seen it enough and Im over that

If you wanna bring me down
Then go ahead and try!

Youll be laughing out loud
When Im playin to my own crowd

Were Almost There
No matter how hard
The task may seem
Dont give up our plans
Dont give up our dreams
No broken bridges
Can turn us around
Cause what were searchin for
Will soon be found
Refrain
Cause were almost there
Just one more step
(cause were almost there)
Just one more step
(just one more step)
Dont give up
cause were almost all almost there
(cause were almost there)
(look at the lovers)
Look at the lonely lovers
That didnt make it
Lifes long hard climb
(lifes long hard climb)
They just couldnt take it
(they just couldnt take it)
Dont let it happen to me and you
Hold on together, darlin
Well make it through
Darlin, keep on reachin out for me
Keep on reachin, do it for me
Do it for me, cause baby
Refrain
(cause were almost there)
(were almost there)
(cause were almost there)
Were so close
I can taste it
A life so sweet
Cant afford to waste it
(cant afford to waste it)
Need to feel your hand
Slippin from mine?
Just hold on tighter now, darlin
Keep on tryin
Refrain
Baby, do it for me, do it do it baby
(cause were almost there)
Just one more step
(were almost there)
Dont give up
(cause were almost there)
Just one more step
Baby baby, dont give up
(cause were almost there)
Keep on, keep on
(were almost there)
Just one more step
(cause were almost there)
Cause were almost there
(instrumental)
Juste one more step
Cause were almost there
Weve come to far
To turn around
Ooh!!
Keep on reachin
For higher ground
Weve had our ups and weve had our downs
Let nothin in the world darlin
Turn us around
Cause were almost there
Were almost there
Were almost there
Everything were lookin for
Were almost there
Keep on reachin out for me
Cause were almost there darlin
Were almost there
Were almost there darlin
Were almost there
Were almost there
Ah were almost there

Baby Step Back
Now it looks to me like the same old place
In the sky it looks like rain
The same old town with the same old streets
The address has not change
You can find me there
With the door shut tight
And the one wish that remains
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
No you know I dont write no bad checks
I have no wish to repent
Ive seen a few
But whatever I do
I dont cause no accidents
Whiskey and wine help me pass the time
I dont leave no evidence
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Still I dont kneel down
I was born to fight
So youd best leave me alone
Maybe Ill get much more than I need
Or much less than I should own
Last of all let me say it again
Either step up or step on
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Baby walk back baby walk back
Either walk on or walk back
Baby step back ...

The Step You Were On
One step at a time is a hard way to climb.
I'd rather skip a few.
But maybe among ones that I would skip
lies the one where I met you.
The climb's never easy, nor is it smooth
but when you look behind
all the ones where you stumbled
are the ones foremost in your mind.
The easy steps were forgotten so soon
for they slipped away quite fast.
But the step I took that you were on
is the step that will always last
in my memory.

One Small Step
So many people
Need to go so many miles
How do we move them
To where the answer lies
Reach out to the ocean
Beyond the stars that shine
Weve got to take one small step in time
If we are the dreamers
Then the world must be the dream
Driven to question
All the things weve never seen
We search the horizon
Looking for a sign
Weve got to take one small step in time
One step beyond
All our hopes and our passion
There is the light of the universe flashin
All that it takes is one leap of faith
One small step, (one small step)
One small step in time
Deep in the darkness
(deep in the blackness)
Theres a wind that never dies
(theres a wind that never dies)
Out in the vastness
(out in the vastness)
Theres a road across the sky
(a road across the sky)
Out there is the reason
That we were meant to find
Weve got to take one small step in time
Weve got to take one small step in time
(one small step, one small step)
One small step in time
(one small step, one small step)
One small step in time
(one small step, one small step)

Come To Stay
If you're sad and mad
But glad to be away and free
From all the pain you've known
Inside you feel you've grown
If you take your time
With every leap of faith you'll find
It's easier to grow
With every step you know
Come to stay or stay away
Come to stay or stay away
If you take too long
pretending that there's nothing wrong
Don't waste my time 'cause I'll be fine
Either way you'll see
That who we are what will be
In the end it's time to show
Step up and let me know
Come to stay or away
Come to stay or away
I hope that you can see
Nobody loves you more than me
Come to stay or stay away
Away
Away
Away
While distance grows between us
Every step you take away you take a piece of me
If you say so long
Pretending that there's something wrong
It's all for naught
'Cause I forgot
If in time you find
The only leap of faith was mine
Is it easier to go
Or say we'll never know
Come to stay or stay away
Come to stay or stay away
I hope that you can see
Nobody loves you more than me
Come to stay or stay away

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

One Step...
Ladder of success you would climb
To reach destiny of your desired goal.
No obstacle can stop you if
Steps taken with well vision.
One step of confidence
One step of inspiration
One step of determination
One step of hope
One step of sincerity
One step of courage
One step of hard work
Ladder of success you would climb
To reach destiny of your desired goal.
No obstacle can stop you if

Ordinary Life
Sinking fast, hold tight
Just remember ordinary life
More trouble, than its worth
Know it when you see the sign
Nothing feels right, step out of line
Just remember ordinary mind
Nagging wife, starts a fight
Trying to make you uptight
Workaholic, on your bike
Take a look at it in the daylight
Nothing feels right, step out of line
Think ordinary mind
Ordinary life, be my rock in times of trouble
Get me back on the earth
Put my feet on the ground
Keep on pushing, make it useful
Do what youve gotta do
Keep on moving, keep on doing
Combat ordinary strife
Need a woman, be my friend
Understand ordinary life
Ordinary life, be my rock in times of trouble
Bring me down to earth
Keep my feet on the ground
Keep on pushing, make it useful
Do what you have to do
Keep on working, keep on doing
Combat ordinary strife
Need a woman, be my friend
Understand ordinary life.

Where all the cares of the day
Will be carried away
By the smile on your face
We are together now and forever

You look tired love, let me turn down the light
Come in out of the cold
Rest your head on my shoulder
And love me tonight
I'll always be here if you should need me
Night and day
Step inside love and stay
Step inside love

When you leave me, say you'll see me again
For I know in my heart

Another Step (Closer To You)
Never, ever felt this way before
You are the one that I'am craving for
Another step nearer your heart
Another step closer to knowing you
Another step nearer your heart
I'm on my way
I never thought it could happen
Being close to someone like you
But you know this isn't just a minute affair
If we make time and take a lot of care
I love everything about it
There's such a good fell about it
And I know where I'm gonna be
If you take a step closer to me
I couldn't even describe it
Though I tried I couldn't find the words
When you're stumbling through life
And love is one step away
Carry on or do you stay
We've got to promise faithfully
To hang on to each other and never leave
That's the way love's gonna be
If you take a step closer to me - come on now
The only way to deal with affairs of the heart
You've got to jump right in, doesn't matter who starts
Take a step nearer, come over here
Together we can make it tonight
