Chance and Geometry
Chance and Geometry
There is a sense that all
the magic has fled us.
Weber says that intellectualisation and
rationality mean
that there are no mysterious,
incalculable forces
that come into play,
but rather that one can- in principle-
‘master all things by calculation.’
How could we think that we prefer
our own puny calculations
(So devoid of real data,
So luminously ignorant)
to that lash of random, beautiful Chance,
the sting of incalculable, mysterious forces
that care so little about our outcomes
except to spice up the narrative?
I ‘m sure i want more meaning than
an equation of
pros and cons, good and evil
the right man at the wrong time
the wrong man at the right time,
but
all my silly femininities and lost causes
blast away at the foundations
of my careful construction.
Yes, I thought I’d
mastered all things by calculation,
added and subtracted
my failures and successes,
weighed up the possible outcomes,
come up with a sum
I could live with...
Tidy sums.
isosoles triangles
E=mc 2.
This morning finds me once again
on my knees in the floor laughing or crying
for want of the mysterious
that once guided my life so
deftly.
God or
Love or
Destiny. I’ll admit it,
I’m addicted to Chance.
‘Fuk it’ I pray.
Fervently.
Unwilling to let the decisions
make themselves or
throw up my hands in the face of the undeniable
truth
that
you don’t love me
anymore.
Let the devil have his 10 minutes of fame
where the consequences of my loving you
fall fully across my back.
‘40 lashes save one’
isn't’ that the sentence that Jesus took on back
when reason feared the incalculable mysterious?
Whipped like a puppy because
He loved us too much to accept our decisive
‘piss off, Jesus, you’re doing my head in’
(We say, “I mean, He’s a lot of fun at parties, but He’s so intense’
We say, ‘ It’s the way He finds a meaning in every little lie we tell ‘
We say, ‘Hey, lighten up, God, would you? ’)
And when He persistently, insistently
continues to love us,
mercilessly generous
and not caring that we are complete shits;
we kill Him.
He takes about three days to decide
He’s not having it,
uses our brutality to secure
us an eternal life we
never asked for.
Now we owe Him
exactly
what we previously refused
to give Him freely.
So much for calculation.
This morning in my room
I was empty after weeping,
fine as an eggshell, you
could have crushed me with a smile;
remembering how God
warned me that my life was about
to come undone,
asked me if I still wanted an answer to my last
prayer.
(‘heal me or kill me’, i’d prayed back then.
Meaning every word of it)
Boarding that trans-alantic flight was
my ‘Yes’ to Him.
I bared my heart, allowed it to be
sliced wide open with His sabre of Chance,
He watched as the Mysterious ran me down with
this freight train of desire.
for you.
slapped me with this holy stupid Love.
Allowed me my useless hope
founded on misinterpreted prophecies,
left me here where the only deliverer
possible
is the One who let me fall.
Left wondering if He will deliver me
after all
God knows, you aren’t going to.
Well. Fair enough.
I asked for it.
You know as well as I what everything
its cost me,
just as I know how it cost you exactly
what you’d budgeted.
Now comes the healing part:
take this love back, God
-which has neither killed nor healed me,
shown me the light nor given me eternal life -
take it back
along with Chance and Mystery.
Use them for something bigger
if You can.
Because right at this moment
-if You don’t mind-
I’m reconsidering the beauty of
Geometry.

Take One More Chance
Ooh, I dont understand,
In this crazy world we live in,
Just look around, is it true?
No one gives a damn.
Trapped in a world of illusion,
Is it too late for us, ooh?
Baby, well never know why were stranded here,
Lost in this crowded room,
I noticed you the minute you came into view.
But youre so hard to me,
Oh, why do I care for you so?
I never ever doubt, my love,
The time is oh so right for love.
Take one more chance, this is the last dance.
Take one more chance, this is the last romance.
I dont understand,
Been avoiding me all evening.
Each time I looked you just dance,
Again on the floor.
Like life itself had no meaning.
If I could touch you,
But oohooh, deep in my heart I know,
Theres a destiny,
Through all this sadness I see.
Its not too late to change, my love,
Tonight the stars are made for love.
Take one more chance, this is the last dance.
Take one more chance, this is the last romance.
[one more chance] take one more glance and give our life a chance.
[one more chance] take one more glance and give our life a chance.
[one more chance] take one more chance, this is the last dance.

Morning
What does morning mean to me?
The chance to awaken under a cover,
the chance to awaken and see your lover,
the chance to open your eyes and know
that love is what makes your life flow.
What does morning mean to me?
The chance to breathe on a new day,
the chance to write and have my say,
the chance to listen to music I love,
the chance to take myself above
all negativity that comes my way.
What does morning mean to me?
The chance to have more time to spend,
the chance to correct my flaws and mend
all of them the best that I can,
the chance to remember how I began.
All of these morning times are great
and if they're not, it's then I await
for them to return to what they mean
and bring back my blessed morning scene.

Everything
You got your blind indecisions of all the things they say
This is your life this time live it how you know.
Give one man power to kill
And one man hands to heal
Left one man suffering
All I want is everything
All I want is
All I want is
All I want is everything
They got the door wide open, won't you walk on in?
We're goin for a freak ride, won't you take a spin?
Okay thisll be the last chance so now make it right
If someone tries to stop you stand your ground and fight
Give one man power to kill
And one man hands to heal
Left one man suffering
All I want is everything
All I want is
All I want is
All I want is everything
Everything, everything
Everything, everything
Everything, everything
Everything, everything
Give one man power to kill and one man hands to heal
Give one man everything still others left suffering
Thrill of livin' stay on the right path
When death is calling you cant take it all back
Can't take it all back
Can't take it all back
Give one man power to kill
And one man hands to heal
Left one man suffering
All I want is everything
Give one man power to kill
And one man hands to heal
Left one man suffering
All I want is everything
All I want
All I want
All I want is everything
All I want
All I want
All I want is everything

About the Holy Bible (Alphabetically-speaking)
Allow the Word to seed within your heart
Beg God’s forgiveness for your sins and grace for soul
Change your earthly life in accordance with the Word
Delve into its meaningful depths
Encounter Jesus in the Living Word
Fall in love with the Word
Genuflect while reflecting upon the Word
Harness the wisdom got by reading the Holy Bible
Ignite the eternal flame of divine love in your heart
Journey to know the ‘Good News’
Knock and it shall be opened unto you
Love the ways of the Maker
Meditate upon the Living Word
Never say ‘No’ to God’s call
Obey the tenets expressed by God
Pray that you live in Jesus and practice the faith truly
Revel in the healing power of the Word
Spread the Word to all across the globe
Thank God for this mysterious device
Understand the true meaning of the Word
Verify the veracity of the verses through fervent prayer
Welcome the eternal Word from God Himself
Xerox the virtues taught by the Holy Bible
You became a ‘Soldier of Christ’ through Baptism
Zealously safe-guard your soul against the Evil One

So I Dance
Well I met you while we were sharing stares
from motorcars
And from there it was like a dream just coming true
The you asked if I like to dance and I said
"Not at all"
So you turned away to start the search for
someone new
Then an acetate Casanova sweeps you off your feet
Cause he dances like Michael J. meets Fred Astaire
And I desperately ask for one more chance
to be with you
And you smile at me while thinking "Yeah it's only fair"
So I dance
Dance with you
From now until you say you love me
Take a chance
Take a chance
That you'll only be thinking of me
So I dance
Well you live your whole life believing silly
fairytales
Like the King of Heart's coming down to marry you
But reality's coming fast and you feel all alone
So I hope you'll let me be the one to get you thru
So I dance
Dance with you
From now until you say you love me
Take a chance
Take a chance
That you'll only be thinking of me
So I dance
Dance with you
From now until you say you love me
Take a chance
Take a chance
That you'll only be thinking of me
So I Dance
Solo
So I dance - Dance - Dance
Well you're going out ballroom dancing
almost every night
While he's blinding you with his moves
and not a word
Then you say that if I could tango
you would have it all
So I "twist" with you and pray
I don't look too absurd
So I dance - Dance
Dance with you
From now until you say you love me
Take a chance
Take a chance
That you'll only be thinking of me
So I dance
Dance with you
From now until you say you love me
Take a chance
Take a chance
That you'll only be thinking of me
So I dance oooh
So I dance
So I dance oooh
So I dance

Darlin
Spoken
Baby can I talk to you
I know somethings wrong
Things just aint the same
But deep down inside I know you still care
So tell me what to do to get things back
The way they used to be
If your words have meaning
If you really cared about me
Tell me why cant I find love in your heart
If you are my lover
A constant friend to me
Tell me why would you turn away from my love
Chorus
So darlin tell me what to do to make things right
Darlin tell me what to do to make things right
Darlin tell me what to do to make things right for love
Tell me what to do to make things right for love
If your words have reason
Then they would turn away from me
Theyre trying hard to hide all truth you might say
If you listen to me girl
If you know how Im feeling inside
Then maybe you wouldnt shut me out your life baby
Chorus
Cant you see
All Im asking is for a chance to let me love you
Cant you see
Girl you know with me is where you should be
And if by chance that we should find
That it can be for you and i
Then girl Ill try
Ill try, oh baby
Chorus
Id give anything for your love
Tell me how can I make it right
Spoken
Girl you should know how I feel by now
Theres so many ways to love
So just open your heart
And Ill find a way
Cant you see
All Im asking for is a chance to let me love you
Cant you see girl you know this is where you should be, ooh
And if by chance we should find
That it can be for you and i
Then girl Ill try
Ill try, oh baby

Back Home
Don't know what I was looking for when I went home, I found me alone
And sometimes I need someone to say, "You'll be all right. What's on your mind?"
But the water's shallow here and I am full of fear, and empty handed after two long years
Another sunny day in Californ-i-a
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance to feel it
Back home I always thought I wanted so much more, now I'm not too sure
Cause sometimes I miss knowing someone's there for me and feeling free
Free to stand beside the ocean in moonlight
And light myself a smoke beneath the dark Atlantic sky
Another sunny day in Californ-i-a
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it
Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line
Tearing lives apart and breaking lots of hearts just to pass the time
And the eyes get red in the back of your head, this place will make you blind
Put it all behind me and I'll be just fine
Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky
Sometimes I wish that it would rain here
And wash away the west coast dreaming from my eyes
There's nothing real for them to see here
Another starry night in Californ-i-a
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it

You Choose
He's gone
You've lost
Stay behind
and count the cost
You try
You lose
You don't fall in love by chance
You choose
It's a decision
made over time
Should you take a risk
and start to climb
the steepest hill
only to find
halfway there
you've been left behind?
Choosing to love
is risking a lot
and trying to change
and to give all you've got
But don't pretend
it comes out of the blue
You take a chance
and see it through
and if it's refused
what can you do?
Continue hopefully?
Start anew?
Lick your wounds
Buy your booze
You won't get drunk by accident
You'll choose
Don't blame him
for refusing your bid
He didn't decide to love
You did
Learn the lesson
Take the blows
You didn't fall in love by chance
You chose
Play the sad songs
Sing the blues
You don't fall in love by chance
You choose

I'm Not The Girl, You Think I Am
why is everything you say,
turn out to be not true?
i'm not the girl who will turn her back,
i like to think of myself as the girl,
who fights back,
i'm sick of getting taken advantage of,
but in a way,
that was kind of my fault,
i allowed it to be okay,
just like i allowed myself to give up on life,
weak moment, it felt so right,
i wanted this to end,
but, than i wouldn't win,
the chance to be treated fair,
when i did everything you asked of me,
2 weeks later, there was more to do,
do you think i would give up?
thoughts come to mind,
but, i remember where it gotten me,
coming back at you stronger than ever,
because this is my life to control,
not yours to be prisoner,
i may cry when everything becomes too much,
but, it gives me the power,
to never give up my fight,
i'm going to take what i deserve,
because i've been through enough,
once we done, i want nothing to do with you,
you did me no good,
except see that all people can't be trusted,
along the way, i found who my true friends were,
that the best present i can ever ask for,
i guess things do happen for a reason,
and that god hate ugly people,
when your time comes,
he will have a payback for you,
but, for right now,
i just have to be patient.

Crazy bout You
Someone asked me, about you
Asked me if this was love, are we serious
I kindly replied that I loved you
Dont know if I should be falling again
Theres a part of me, still in misery
Though I know I got to move on
Im scared of commitment
Im scared of what could go wrong
Chorus
cause if I love again, I could lose again
Thats the chance that Im gonna take
I cant be wrong again
Baby, cause Im crazy bout you
Its gonna take me just a moment
To take this all the way it feels kind of strange
So what could you do to assure me
That you wont go astray and hurt me some day
So no promises, dont want roses
Ive already heard every lie
And I aint in no hurry
And I hope youre not wasting my time
cause if I love again, I could lose again
Thats a chance that my heart could break
Hate to be wrong again
Baby, cause Im crazy bout you
If I hurt again and I cry again
Thats a chance that Im gonna take
I cant be wrong again
Baby, cause Im crazy bout you
Starting over
Takes me under
I need your shoulder
When I cant bear this pain
I need your love
To help me make it alright
Dont need no one
Runnin in and out of my life
Chorus
If I love again, and I cry again
Thats the chance that Im gonna take
I cant be wrong again
Baby, cause Im crazy bout you

Every Minute, Every Hour
Another day has gone by
Still have you picture, by my side
I cant forget when you left
When we said goodbye
I know its hard to carry on,
Can I survive?
Every mintue, every hour
I just cant get you out of my mind
No matter how hard I try
Every day, every night
I wish you were back in my life
Can we give it just one more chance,
This time
Looking back on it now
Oooo
Where we went wrong
I cant figure out
Wish I could turn back the time
And make you mine
Is it too late
For us to try
A second time
Every mintue, every hour
I just cant get you out of my mind
No matter how hard I try
Every day, every night
I wish you were back in my life
Can we give it just one more chance,
This time
I just dont see things the same
I cant get out of the way

Its clouding my mind
Ill make it all up to you
Just tell me what I should do
I want you back in my life
Gimme one more chance
Every mintue, every hour
I just cant get you out of my mind
No matter how hard I try
Every day, every night
I wish you were back in my life
Can we give it just one more chance,
Every mintue, every hour
I just cant get you out of my mind

Heading Out To The Highway
Hitem boys
Well Ive said it before, and Ill say it again
You get nothin for nothin, expect it when
Youre back seat drivin and your hands aint on the wheel
Its easy to go along with the crowd
And find later on that your say aint allowed
Oh thats the way to find what youve been missin
So Im heading out to the highway
I got nothin to lose at all
Im goin to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall
You can hang in a left or hang in a right
The choice it is yours to do as you might
The road is open wide to place your biddin
Now, wherever you turn, wherever you go
If you get it wrong, at least you can know
Theres miles and miles to put it back together
And Im heading out to the highway
I got nothin to lose at all
Im goin to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall
Makin a curve or takin the strain
On the decline, or out on the wain
Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later
Well put it to rights, well square up and mend
Back on your feet to take the next bend
You weather every storm thats comin at cha
And Im heading out to the highway
I got nothin to lose at all
Im goin to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall

Mine Again
I remember when you used to be mine
Way back when
I was too naive to love you right
But now if I only had the opportunity
I would do anything
Because my heart still believes
[chorus]
Maybe you could be mine again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Maybe we could bring it back to life
It's irrelevant to dwell on the past
I'm accountable for what went bad
And I mean that
But I keep on praying for another chance
Just to have you back
Cause I've grown
And I know how to be your everything
[chorus]
Maybe you could be mind again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Maybe we could bring it back to life
No, no it ain't over yet
I just can't accept the possibility
We weren't made for each other's arms
I know you're my destiny
We can't erase what was meant to be
Part of you and part of me
If we try one more time
Maybe somehow we'll survive
Maybe you could be mine again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Boy maybe we could bring it back
Maybe we could bring it back
Maybe we could bring it back to...
Life
Maybe you could be mine

Promised You A Miracle
Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Chance as love takes a train
Summer breeze and brilliant light
One love she sees
He controls on love
Love sails to a new life
Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life mirrors a cure
Everything is possible
With promises
Everything is possible
Oh no
I promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Chance reflects on them a while
Love screams so quietly
Slipping back on golden times
Breathing with sweet memories
Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life mirrors a cure
Everything is possible in the game of life
Everything is possible
Oh no
Chance lost pearls of great price
Take care of family
Only aches for love
Love waits for fame
In chance in chance theyll see
I promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life throws a cure
Everything is possible in the game of life
A burning dream
You can be queen
Everything is possible

Love Can Find Me Now
Every moment in
Your life you see
How beautiful love
Can truly be
And I know that I
Need to take my chance
And I know somehow
Love can find me now
That's how I
Used to feel
Between me
And what is real
Now what I
Got is real
And I know
This guy makes me feel
Lucky to
Be his girl
And I know
I change his world
Now I know what I
Feel is very real
You can't take it away
I would not let you
I want you to stay
Here with me today
Do not go away
I want you to stay
And every moment in
Your life you see
How beautiful love
Can truly be
And I knew that I
Had to take this chance
And I knew somehow
Love would fine me now
Love can find me now
Love can find me now
Love can find me now
Love found me now

This time without a struggle.
Prepared to pick a fight!
Misgivings?
I had to leave.
Deceiving...
People,
Who left my heart to bleed!
Receiving?
More love to give!
Leaving behind me...
All the things negative!
Jesus came back into my life.
But I had to get myself ready...
This time without struggle or fight.
Jesus came back into my life.
But I had to get myself ready...
This time to make things right.
Receiving?
More love to give!
Leaving behind me...
All the things negative!
And believing,
I had to see!
I held misery inside,
That grieved and troubled me!
Yes...
Jesus came back into my life.
But I had to get myself ready...
This time to make things right.
Said...
Jesus came back into my life.
But I had to get myself ready...
This time without struggle!
Prepared to pick fight.
Misgivings?
I had to leave.
Deceiving...
People,
Who left my heart to bleed!
I'm living,
Stronger each day.
I've got what it takes..
To make sure what I've got,
Stays that way!
Hey...
Jesus came back into my life.
But I had to get myself ready,
This time to make things right.
I had to get myself ready,
This time to make things right!
Pettiness is fading steady...
With faith and Jesus on my side!
Jesus came back into my life.
But I had to get myself ready...
This time to make things right.
I had to get myself ready...
Without a struggle!
Or a search to fight.
This time I'm more than ready,
Knowing what it takes to feed...
My growing appetite!
'Don't lock it up...
Let it out and rock it!
Collect the good that's offered you,
And share it from your pocket! '

Human II [Don't Turn Your Back On Me]
I know this was my fault but
How much should it cost
To make things right
Do I have to pay for life
We all fall short sometimes
And I'm guilty of that crime
But I just wanna make you see
That you can still believe in me
I know, I make mistakes
I am what I am
I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back on me
Speak to me, let me know how you feel
If you feel like you can hold on and be strong
I will never leave you lonely
I cry sometimes 'cause I make you cry
And that ain't right
I won't make the same mistake twice
Baby please forgive me
I know, I make mistakes
I am what I am
I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back on me
No I can't erase the wrong I've done
But I hope you can give me another chance
'Cause if you were me you would want the same
And I'd give that chance to you
I know, I make mistakes
I am what I am
I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back on me
I know, I make mistakes
I am what I am
I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back on me
