Why Not Me?
Crushed dreams
Unkept promises
False care
Forgotten love
I am your last child, your baby.
Why give these to my siblings, but not me?

World Of Promises
They come from a land were the sun don't shine
running away from the cold
They travel so far in the name of love
hoping the dreams will come true
Walking the way through endless fields
trying to make it together
??????????????????
????????????????????
And they will give anything
just to be free from the pain
and they won't surrender
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises
Lost in the city wondering why
no one will open the door
It's more to the truth than meets the eye
something they all felt before
And they will give anything
just to stand tall once again
and they won't surrender
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises
In the tan of the nigh can hear them crying
out for a life to hol on to
Somebody knows were the answers lying
wait for your trails and don't let go
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises

Hold On To Me
I wanna know what you dream, oh baby
Am I one with your fantasy
I wanna show you my deepest feelings
Aint that how loves supposed to be
Give me love hold on to me

Give this child what she needs
Some food and water
Give this child what she needs
Good parents

Good manors

Lost In Love
Would you love me
When nights are cold
Would you love me
When I grow old
Would you care
Baby its not easy
Take me by surprise
And say youre there
Would you love me
Give me one more chance
Would you love me
Try and understand
Would you share a life
That is music
Show me in your eyes
That youll stay with me tonight
Im lost in love
I cant live without you
Im lost in love,
All my dreams around you
And Im lost in love
And its true
I cant live without you
Oh, no
Would you love me
When Im in doubt
Would you love me
Just to be around
Would you share my
Life that is music
Take me in your arms
And sing my melody
Im lost in love
I cant live without you
Im lost in love,
All my dreams around you
And Im lost in love
And its true
I cant live without you
Oh, no
And Im lost in love
Say you really want me
Love is a passion
Just cant hide
And Im lost in love
Time and again and it
Hurts me
Youll be my reason
For starting again, again
Im lost in love
I cant live without you
Im lost in love
And all my dreams around you
Im lost in love
I cant live without you
Im lost in love
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Im lost in love
Baby I cant live without you

Don't Misunderstand Me
I bring you renegade stories
And you tell me I'm crazy and wild
You say that I lack maturity
Stop actin' like a child
But you know I am a liar
And my promises only get in my way
You feel so good, when you're in my arms
Ain't there one right thing I can say
To make oyu want to stay
Chorus:
Oh, oh baby, baby
Don't misunderstand me
oh, oh baby, baby
You tell me that you love me but
This ain't no way for you to live
You hold so tight your fingers are broken
I take more than I care to give
But it's heartbeat to heartbeat
It's push and shove and steal and prove
It's hand to mouth sometimes
If we run hard enough someday baby
Gonna find some room to move
Chorus
All of this showin' and provin'
Is nothing but fear
Everybody can do what they want
But they just can't do it here
Girl hold on to my childishness
I'm gonna break on through
Out of this mess
Chorus

A Child In The Sea Of Uncertain
take care of you baby
take care of your skull
you have learnt much
you have specialisation much
you are not authentic
you are talented
not genius
take care of you baby
take care of your skin
in the field of creation
you are simply a dust
to blow away
by the thrust of time
take care baby
take care of your skill
if others give you access
if others appreciate your tune
you are someone
otherwise
no one
you are baby
sheriff or washerman
saint or sir
you are
alone
take care of you baby
take care when you are alone

Show Me
Baby I love you
And god knows it too
I’ll put no one above you
For the reason that my love is true
As a matter of fact
I give you my heart and I don’t want it back
Baby if you want me
You got to show me love
Baby if you want me
I act crazy but all I want is a hug
Baby you know I love you
I will never let u go for you are of great value
Baby you've got my devotion
And I stop fight the ocean
This love is overwhelming
And I hope your heart isn’t pending
Baby if you love me
You’ve got to show me love
At times I act crazy but I’ll simmer down with yr tender touch
Baby you know I Love You
And I’ll tell it to the whole world
I love u that much I’ll gladly give you a baby boy or girl
Baby if you love me
You got to show me love
Baby I love you
Every second of every minute you are the one I’m thinking of
What I need from you is to hold my hand
I think you are the epitome of a real man
Come with your heart in your hand
For my love is guaranteed
At nights I can’t wait to sleep
Because in my dreams you’re all I see
Words are so easy to say
You know I love you because I show it in every possible way
Baby if you want me
You got to make me believe...that this love is more than real
I’m ready to come out of my shell for there is so much of me to reveal
This love I have (that belongs to) can’t retreat
I look forward to your kisses...Your lips taste so sweet
Baby I just want you
And I hope u want me too
You got to show me...you got to show me
You got to show me love...
I’m baring it all my glove has come off
Whenever I call I need you to be there
Show me you love me and tell me you'll always care

Sugar Daddy
Written by christine mcvie
Well I need a sugar daddy,
He could be my friend,
And if I needed money,
I know he would lend me a hand,
But when it comes to loving,
Hed better leave me alone,
cause Ive got you baby,
And you give me all the love I need,
Yes you give me all the love I need -
And when I get a little hungry
He could give me all I could eat,
And if I needed whiskey,
He could serve it to me neat.
But when it comes to loving,
Hed better leave me alone,
cause Ive got you baby,
And you give me all the love I need,
Yes you give me all the love I need -
All that I want is someone to take care of me,
Im not asking for love,
Just a little sympathy.
And he could pick me up,
In a big fancy car.
Then I could pretend
I was a big movie star.
But when it comes to loving,
Hed better leave me alone,
cause Ive got you baby,
And you give me all the love I need,
Yes you give me all the love I need -
All that I want is someone to take care of me,
Im not asking for love,
Just a little sympathy.
Im not asking for love
Im not asking for love

Promises Made
(mark paul/john duarte)
You said goodbye
And broke this heart inside of me
Teardrops fell
Like hours to eternity
The room was silent
As some forgotten melody
Your words of steel
Still echo in my memory
Promises made, promises broken
Promises made, promises broken
I thought we had a chance
To really make it last
Now the future looks to me
Like some unwelcome guest
Ill be alright
As soon as I get over you
But this time it wont be
Such an easy thing to do
Promises made are
Promises broken
Caught up in the sorrow
Tangled in dreams
In the lonely hours
Of silent screams
In the heart of the darkness
I break down
I feel the spirit of you
All around
Promises made are
Promises broken
Promises made are
Promises broken

Give a Child...
Proudly for Seth ~ Ryan who graduated as
an Aerospace Engineer last week!
Give a child a great education
You give them the world
Give a child science and math
You give them access
Give a child a sense of wonder
You give them joy
Give a child poetry, paint, l.e.d.s, aluminum foil and sparkles
You give them creativity
Give a child accountability
You give them integrity
Give a child an understanding of spirit
You give them faith
Give a child an entire community
You give them responsilbility
Give a child your undivided time
You give them security
Give a child a life by example
You give them the map for success
Give a child hugs
You give them love!

Deep Down The Memory Lane
Deep down the memory lane
I still think of you
Though you may have forgotten me
Yet I think of you
I know there had been promises unkept
and many wishes unfulfilled
Yet deep down the memory lane
I still think of you
There had been lot of fightings
and lot of faults in me
They really have stiffled you
and made u cry to agony
I know it was my weakness
that made you go away
I was the only reason
that made ur love deplete
I have tried to hate u
I have tried to damn
Yet deep down the memory lane
I still think of you!

Digging For Gold
They married on a fancy yacht out on the water
He knew she was young enough to be his daughter
There always questions in the heart of millionaires
Would she make heartfelt promises if the money was not there
And he said, do you love me, baby, do you want me to hold
Or are you just digging for gold
Do you care enough to give me your heart and soul
Or are you just digging for gold
She ran his weary heart through the ringer
And she wore him like the diamond ring around her finger
Well, his advances and affections, she managed to avoid
But, she got the lap of luxury and he got paranoid
And he said, do you love me, baby, do you want me to hold
Or are you just digging for gold
Do you care enough to give me your heart and soul
Or are you just digging for gold, digging for gold
Big house, limousines,
Fine wines, fine cuisines,
Vale and vegas twice a year,
Trips to paris on the leer
Black tuesday when that wall of wealth came crashing down
Bad news day when that little queen had to give back her crown
And he said, hey babe, we can live on love cuz love is worth much more
But he barely got his feelings out, she was half way to the door
And she never even heard him cry
Do you love me, baby, do you want me to hold
Or are you just digging for gold
Do you care enough to give me your heart and soul
Or are you just digging for gold

You Owe It To Yourself
The coolness of your kiss
The lingering of your sigh
Your sweet yet unconvincing smile
Tell me no lie
Is it a wish for second youth
The age of lost romance
Or does a half-forgotten dream need one more chance
Its your life, what can I say
Right or wrong, either way
You owe it to yourslf to have your day
Well I must admit Im crushed
Bewildered and betrayed
Still I wont hold you to the promises we made
Ah, love is such a mess
Its a painful work of art
Seems its every man for himself to find his heart
So say goodbye and say no more
See what lies outside that door
You owe it to yourself to know for sure
No tears, no lies, no long goodbyes dont be cruel, baby
Just let me wish you well
Go seek and find, while Im still inclined to play the fool, baby
You owe it to yourself
So say goodbye and say no more
See what lies outside that door
You owe it to yourself to know for sure
Know for sure
For sure

Run Wild
I wandered into your wonderland with eyes open wide
You turn me into your yesterday
But you will remain inside of me
Like I care for you
Oh, I care for you
Run wild , out on the edge of time , child
Carry your dreams away , love
No one can hold you now
For you are an island
I may be broken but understand my love will get by
There will be others along the way , my love
They will try to care for me
Like I care for you
Oh , I care for you
Run wild , out on the edge of time , child
Carry your dreams away , love
No one can hold you now
For you are an island
Run wild , out on the edge of time , child
Carry your dreams away , love
No one can hold you now
For you are an island
Run wild , out on the edge of time , child
Carry your dreams away , love
No one can hold you now
For you are an island ( fade)

A Single Child I Am...
A single child i am,
in my lovely nest,
with my loving dad and mom.
A single child i am,
flowing in the oceans of love
with loneliness all around.
My ways are haunted,
My talks are monologues,
My dreams are aimless,
A single child i am.
No hands to hold me,
No chocolates to share with,
No toys to fight for,
A single child i am.
A single child i am,
with sacks of love to give,
with lots of care to express,
with more of happiness to share,
A single child i am.

Breastmilk
Of craftiness and subtleness!
But if i have breatsmilk,
I will feed my child all day.
Like a caring mother who cheerishes her children,
I will feed my child all day long.
Your baby needs breastmilk like,
A woman after hwer own heart;
And you are a devoted woman of a higher rank.
Sisters, Mothers, Women!
Of the sweet smelling aroma of your breastmilk;
But the family in heaven is like a child with the mother.
Stand the test and be obedient in all things,
Give your baby food and forget about your phone calls!
For you are not my mother and,
You are not an African woman.
I know how it feels and,
I know who you are;
But feed your baby with breastmilk at all times.
Like a house without hands,
Give your baby breastmilk to keep the child healthy;
For out of the blessings of the Creator you've got this child.
The door is now open on you,
The truth is now set for you,
The care is now in your own hands,
But your child really need this milk.
