Stolen Property
I trusted you with my possessions
never thought you’d steal my stuff
now I’m waiting for your confessions
hoping things don’t get too rough
all I want is my property back
return the things you stole from me
although I really didn’t keep track
and don’t expect an apology
the goods which are of most concern
my sense of humor and my sanity
and while you’re at it please return
my heart, my soul and my dignity

Soul On Fire
Ooh yeah, there you were
Standin' outside the door
Years since I told you I
Couldn't go on this way no more
Had no explanation
F-r-u-s-tration
Thought I was so very sure
Oh, oh
So you went on your way
Hittin' up at the party scene
Actin' as if you were
Entirely over me
Dancin' with all the ladies
Just so the news would make it
Directly to the hot hot line
Now you're settin' my soul on fire
Woah
Woah
Didn't know how good it was 'til you were gone
Oh
Woah
Now you're playin' with my head
And you only forget
All the things I put you through
But I never stopped lovin' you
Forget all that I said
Can't we go back to bed
Let bygones go on by
'Cause now you're settin' by soul on fire
Woah
Woah
Didn't know how good it was 'til you were gone
Woah
Woah
Now I only want you back so come on home
Woah
Woah
Didn't know how much I'd miss you on my own
Oh
Baby come on home
So find it in your heart
Hear my apology
We've taken it this far
Don't you want the rest
The best of me
Oh
Woah
Woah
Didn't know how good it was 'til you were gone
Woah
Woah
Now I only want you back so come on home
Woah
Woah
Didn't know how much I'd miss you on my own
Oh
Baby come on home
Mm, mm, mm

The return of the native,
Fully teethed I left you.
Toothless I return to you.
Where from I had come,
There to I want to return
In between, I never came back
Nor did I give you any thought.
Which bird thinks of the nest
When he flies in gay?
In twilight, cows return to shed.
As night falls, I return to you.
In your cradle, I was born,
Only where my roots are known.
On return, I shall dropp to you
What I had earned elsewhere
So that, of me, you are aware
And I can pass away with after care.

Patiently Waiting
I'm not the same,
I'm different, I've changed,
A part of me's gone,
It's so hard to move on,
Didn't choose to be tamed,
Didn't want to get maimed,
At me life's been pointing a gun.
Unexpected restrictions holding me back,
Far too many to keep track,
No matter how many times I try to forget,
Can't help but notice I'm way out of whack.
I appreciate your sympathy,
But please, don't feel bad for me,
I'll get through it eventually,
And return to my old self permanently.
But for now, I'm waiting patiently.
Crying, Waiting, Hoping
Crying, crying,
Waiting, waiting,
Hoping, hoping,
Youll come back,
I just cant seem
To get you off my mind.
Crying, crying,
Waiting, waiting,
Hoping, hoping,
Youll come back.
Youre the one I love.
I think about you
All the time.
Crying, crying,
Tears keep a-falling
All night long.
Waiting, waiting,
It seems so useless,
I know its wrong
To keep on...
...crying, crying,
Waiting, waiting,
Hoping, hoping,
Youll come back baby,
Someday soon
Things will change
And youll be mine.
Crying, crying,
Tears keep a-falling
All night long.
Waiting, waiting,
It seems so useless,
I know its wrong
To keep on...
...crying, crying,
Waiting, waiting,
Hoping, hoping,
Youll come back
Maybe someday soon,
Things will change
And youll be mine.
Crying, crying,
Waiting, waiting,
Hoping, hoping

To Pee and Review
On the surface,
We are close!
Friends mostly,
Out of necessity!
And for years...
It has been like this.
Our different points of views were missed!
Adrift in the air somewhere!
Caring...
Out of necessity.
Sharing...
Out of necessity.
Nudging each other to prejudge another!
Out of necessity!
And today our depths of thought,
Are on levels distant from seeing eye to eye.
Remember when we tried that...?
And I made you cry because 'you' asked for honesty?
And I didn't lie,
I was always me!
Believing we had each other's back!
And when you did that,
I was caught off track.
In fact...
I knew then we were in separate 'stations'
Traveling in the same direction,
But on different schedules!
Somehow...
We didn't allow each other a 'pitstop'!
To check things out!
'To pee and review'!
Getting real with our findings.
To return to discuss them with each other!
'Can we do that now? '
Where should we start?
We can either begin this ride together...again!
But this time,
Let's not take the scenic route!
That way didn't do anything for either one of us!
A memorable 'trip' requires the kind of adventure,
We obviously didn't share!

A Thief May Steal Irreplaceable Possessions
A thief
is a man
woman
child
in need
who may steal
more than
your possessions.
He She may steal
your time moment
which is irreplaceable.
He She may offer
nothing except
his her naked need
to take possess
steal while offering
no sincerity
trust loyalty
friendship faith joy
or inspiration.
Only the naked need
to covert corrupt
ridicule manipulate
that cannot share
give uplift
or honour anything
except a thief
more cunning
exploiting
or blatant
than himself
herself.
A thief may steal
irreplaceable possessions
character thoughts
harmony sanity of mind.

Spread My Wings
why are you taking so long
you know the weather's already changed and
no need in talking too much
about the situation that happened
and I know it's implicitly said when I say
I don't want to argue no not today
and I tell you there is nothing left to say
let me be free and fly away
[Chorus]
sometimes I wish I could fly
spread my wings and sore away
and I'd never return back to this
crazy love life that always push
me away
you know I love you so much
but there's no need for me to keep waiting
no longer can you be trusted
I finally gave up on this love matter
and I really hate to leave but in this case
you broke my heart and now I feel disgrace
and I know somebody else is taking my place
unfortunately I know I can't stay
[Chorus (2x)]
I'm telling you this time I won't sit by no more baby
tell me what makes you do the things you do that
makes me wanna be free and all those times you lied
about the simple things

Didn't I
I didn't realise that you were someone else
Until it was too late
So fooled by your disguise, carried away
I thought you were my friend
But things change and you along with them
Gone are the days when we laughed through the night
And it will never be the same
I said it wouldn't last forever didn't I, didn't I
Don't want to say I told you so but didn't I
I gave you all my heart and soul and didn't I cry
Bus somewhere deep in your heart, deep down inside
I got to you
Oh baby didn't I
We made no promises, we lived for every moment
Together come what may
What need was there to lie, for heaven's sake
I love you anyway
But things change and time heals the wounded
Where there was pain there's a scar on my heart
Now I can't look at you the same
I said it wouldn't last forever didn't I, didn't I
Don't want to say I told you so but didn't I
I gave you all my heart and soul and didn't I cry
Bus somewhere deep in your heart, deep down inside
I got to you
Oh baby didn't I

When Things Didn’t Happen As You’d Thought…
When things didn’t happen as you’d thought,
May be, the Almighty intends,
To do them in a different way,
And make you fitter for the job,
That you can’t handle anyway!
And make your mind and heart better,
And body physically well,
To take on assignments tougher,
And do them most successfully.
And give you nerves of steel-like strength,
And stamina to withstand stress,
And soul of grace to avoid sin,
And prepare yourself for heaven.
So, tune your heart, mind, body, soul,
And patiently expect all things,
For, when God does things in His way,
Nothing can go wrong any day!

I'm Back
Disappeared
Out of here
It was time to pay my dues
Never guessed
That you'd be dressed
In my clothes and in my shoes
You couldn't wait to move right in
If I were you I'd be concerned
Ain't no way you're gonna win
Betcha didn't count on my return
_CHORUS_
You thought you were so tough
You had it all under control
Now enough is enough
Gonna take back what you stole
{Give it up, 'cause now I'm back}
On my own
All alone
This ain't how the story ends
Now I see
Those close to me
They were just fair-weather friends
You suckered everyone in sight
With promises that fooled them all
You may be top dog tonight
The bigger they come, the harder they fall
_CHORUS_
You thought you were so tough
You had it all under control
Now nothing's enough
Gonna take back what you stole
{Give it up, 'cause now I'm back}
"For our planet to succeed, Kaiba must be taken out of the picture, permanently."
"You'll never take me alive!"
"Seto Kaiba will bother us no more, hahahahahaha!"

"It's takeover time, by me."
"I attack with the Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
_CHORUS_
You thought you were so tough
You had it all under control
Now nothing's enough
Gonna take back what you stole
{Give it up, 'cause now I'm back}

Sonnet- 'Tis Easiest Listening to God
All things we do, may not be good for us;
Some things we yearn for, God denies for goods;
Nevertheless, we must never God curse;
He knows soul's poison's from virtuous foods.
We can't-expect miracles all the-time;
Sometimes, God allows us to struggle much;
Our sufferings could turn our lives sublime;
God heals the wounds of heart with Grace's touch.
Yet, God prefers all souls to heed to Him;
Each one is meant to do some special things;
And yet, the soul should be most pure and trim.
For Heaven's skies needs Birds with righteous wings!
And when we listen to whatever God tells;
We will some day surely toll Heaven's bells.

Beyond The Distant Hills
The sun is shining for me,
beyond the distant hills.
Where my love is waiting,
for my return.
The water is sweet to drink,
beyond the distant hills,
where a warm fire is waiting,
for my return.
The grass bends in the breeze,
beyond the distant hills.
Where my love’s heart yearns
for my return.
A candle lights a window,
beyond the distant hills.
Where someone keeps a watchful eye,
for my return.
Beyond the distant hills,
where no clouds gather,
and no storms darken the sky.
Beyond the distant hills,
bright eyes wait for my return.
Beyond the distant hills,
my dreams will come true,
and I promised myself one day I will get there.

Blue Eyes Blue
By diane warren
I thought that youd be loving me.
I thought you were the one whod stay forever.
But now forevers come and gone
And Im still here alone.
cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.
It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you who made the tears fall down.
It was you who broke my heart in pieces.
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.
I thought that Id be all you need.
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven.
And now my heavens gone away
And Im out in the cold.
cause you had me believing,
You had me believing in a lie.
Guess I couldnt see it,
I guess I couldnt see it till I saw goodbye.
Chorus
cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.
It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you.
Chorus
Oh, I never should have trusted you.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.

A Soul
A soul has passed
Not the first,
nor the last
Never the less
A soul has passed
A soul is gone
and will be missed
Forever long
All the same
A soul is gone
A soul is through
who was loved dearly
by me, by you
Still and still
A soul is through
A soul has left
completed it's task
we try to accept
By and by
A soul has left
A soul will return
with too many things
for one life to learn
Here or there
A soul will return

The American people expect more from Congress. They expect fiscal responsibility and common sense. They expect us to return to the pay-as-you-go budget rules that we had enacted in the past that helped us establish a surplus, however briefly.

Product For the Archives
Those that ridiculed and found time to do it...
Can not be too bright.
Not to percieve actions taken,
Like these today...
Do not come back seeking,
A return to nibble for a bigger bite.
'Now...
Where are those who claim to have 'some' insight? '
It's funny how things twist and turn,
To ultimately leave those frazzled.
Change has exploded upon the scene,
With a tremendous dose of 'wake up'.
Stable foundations aren't so stable it seems.
And those that did not catch it.
Or expect it to come as it has...
'Hello? Anybody home?
I'm sorry...
I didn't expect anyone in the attic!
The lack of 'light' gave no clue.'
Your fantasies are now product for the archives!
Aint nothing you once believed,
Will be revived.

May We?
may we?
Be in love again
You and me, again
Denying the destiny.
may i?
Feel your touch again,
After all those cloudy nights.
may i?
Be again the same lover in your eyes.
may we?
Return again two lovers and fall in love.
Once again
may we?
Return back the time,
Return back the clock
To those days where we were in love.
may you?
Come back again
To whisper on my ears
The melody of love.
One more time again
may you?
Call me again to tell me
How you feel sorry
For all those things that you have done.
but i know that mays doesn't have place at the real life.
May the devil turns to angel.
May the stormy winterday at once turns to a warmest summer day.
May the sunny sky turns to darkness night.
But you will never return the one
That have talked me about his great love.

The Great Encounter
Fifteen minutes ago I was away,
Fourten minutes ago I was near,
I couldnt see the pictures clear,
Yet the vibrations I could hear,
My heart pounded with fear,
She was pure and ever dear,
It was fate I thought,
It was late I ought,
It was the great encounter
My heart was mud in boat,
Yet my fight was fed and caught,
My eyes did not deceive,
Wearing nice coats on my mind,
Trying to be the sweet guy always,
To please a woman I adore,
She stole my heart in minutes,
I couldnt steal her time even seconds,
My lost thoughts I thought she found,
Flowers and thorns, me and her
I met a friend, I cherished a friend
The great time, the great encounter
With linen shorts on resorts,
The wishes of a wondering man,
Hoping and waiting for the moment,
So long entrusted in the future,
Forged in the heart of a willing heart,
She never felt the same,
The thoughts of parallel minds,
Black and white, the art of a zebra
Mixed reactions and reacting mixtures,
Hoping and hoping, im waiting for you
The great encounter, so great in deed
The mirror showed me the visions,
Behind me you fashioned a foundation
Being a friend, texts without presence,
Avoiding clean with reasons,
It was pride, I knew it
She was clear, she proved it
Time will tell, but it might fail,
Waiting upon thee,
The great encounter

No More Prayin
By michael mcdonald
Why do we look so hard?
Why do we ask so much?
In this world, its sad in a way
How time unblesses love, and faith is lost
Theres no more prayin for saving grace to find us
No more waiting for conscience to remind us
There are few things meaningless as words
At the point of no return
Why do we want so much?
Can we be satisfied?
In this life how many times
Can we pass the promised land, forever lost?
Theres no more prayin for saving grace to find us
No more waiting for conscience to remind us
There are few things meaningless as words
At the point of no return
We are lost between faith and hope
Between heart and mind, between love and pride
Eventually, the day will come
When lies wont buy time
Tears wont bring hope
When theres no more prayin
Nowhere to run or do what weve done before
There are few things meaningless as words
At the point of no return
We are lost between faith and hope
Between heart and mind, between love and pride
