The Start

Today I start my life for good;
I am determined now to find
The value of my real manhood;
And not to travel as if blind.
am yet young in age and hope;
I shall so think and do aright,
Things human, and, all in my scope,
To make of life a shining light.
There shall be no mistake in plan,
For time does not permit to lose,
And win again, the race of man;
Hence, now I start, and rightly choose.
I shall not travel wild to find
That I have fallen almost flat,
Then rise to weep and leave behind
That I a coward was for that.
So find yourself in early age,
To know what you shall be in life;
Then go and write on hist'ry's page
The victories of your daily strife;
For every man is battling you,
To cross the plain, with haste to win-
And hoist the flag in colors blue-
Then show the world where he has been

Colors Of Life

See the colors of life
The colors of dreams
The colors of life
Wherever you go
Wherever you may go
Trust in hope, trust in your real friends
Planet colors alive, you hold it in your hands
Realize you have to open your eyes
And Ive learned everything has always two sides
You're not alone
The world is one family
You're not alone
Find your way to be free
You're not alone
Love is the hope to survive
You're not alone
See the colors of life
See the colors of life
See the colors of life
See the colors of dreams
They are wild and free
See the colors around
See the colors around
The colors you have found
See the colors of life
See the colors of life
The colors of dreams
The colors of life
The colors of life
The colors of dreams
The colors of life
There's a land, there's a place in your heart
Tolerance is the key to make a better start
I've been waiting for my lessons of life
And I've learned everything has always two sides

A New Life

It's time to start a new life.
Leave behind all the trash and blithe.
Leave behind those who bring me down,
leave me feeling like a dying man without a sound.
To start a new life will be my only saving grace.
Put my mind at a slow and steady pace.
I cannot go on floundering in this current time.
To all the beauty around me I have become so blind.
Start a new life to break this bind.
Eternall joy and happiness is what I hope to find.

Where do I begin,
and how do I recind all the terrible lonliness I find myself?
I have to try,
I have to fight.
For a new life with strength and might.
I hope now that I'll find it soon.
On this current path I'm doomed.
So here I go I must be brave.
To start a new life and no longer be a slave.

Perfect World

They say the time has come for us to start again
I believe thats true
They say the time has come for us to make amends
And I believe that too
Why tell me why?
Is it all so hard to find?
I pray each day
For a perfect world
Where children are laughing
Lovers romancing
Time stands still
A perfect world
Theres nothing to cry for
No on to die for
Wonderful
In a perfect world
Our fathers father says that things were better than
How easy they forget
On every page in every book of history a thousand tears were shed
Theres hope in our hearts and love in our eyes
Day after day I keep searching
Why tell me why
Is it all so hard to find?
I pray each day
For a perfect world...
Travel cross the seven seas to be with you
Passion and desire will see me through
The road that I must travel will eind and curl
Youre all I ever needed in a perfect world

Marvellous Travel

I travel with my eyes,
Watching those silently cry,
Asking themselves the question why,
Someone left them without saying goodbye;

I travel with my thoughts,
I travel with my pen;
To write about children, women and men;

I travel with my voice,
I travel with my hope,
That something new, would spring into my horoscope,
Whether in Asia, America or Europe,
There'll always be something interesting to scope;

I travel to many different places,
Mix with many races,
Identify tribesmen by their faces,
And little girls by their laces,

I travel without money,
So, please listen to my testimony,
The good, the bad and even the ugly,
Every experience is worth life's journey,

For I'll always be marvelled,
When ever I travel.

Life’s Railway

Life is a lot like a railway
As we travel along through time
Clickety clacking along our way
A good life we seek to find

We pass through many places
Meet folks both good and bad
Have experiences along the way
Many happy but some are sad

Some of the places we travel
We never plan to return
But others stay in our memory
Good lessons we have learned

We never know what we will see
All we can do is take it day by day
Doing the very best we can
As we travel life’s exciting railway!

It's A Hard Road

I jumped on the train
I left this old town
I escaped the rain
I'm no longer down
The wheels start to turn
My worries are gone
I have lots to learn
About the trail that I'm on
As I look around
I see my new friend
I know I am bound
To travel till the end

I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best

The train it did slow
I'm in a new place
The moonlight does glow
On my tired face
It's time for me
To try and find a bed
It's time for me
To rest my weary head
Morning is here
There's sorting to do
I'll sound sincere
With my goodbye to you

I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best

It's time to move away
I'm not satisfied
I've spent many a day
Finding a place to reside
There's a town on my mind
It's just down the track
No need to find
A way to get back
The train I will get
Sitting at the station
The future is set
I feel anticipation

I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best

Rainbow

I didn’t choose to love you
but I did choose to care
I wish I had my freedom
I wish life was fair

I suffer when I am without you
with you, I suffer even more
around you I cant wait to leave
Yet, I cling on to your door

I find peace in your silence
I find wisdom in your every word
I find pleasure in your voice tone
In you I find the world..

but like every time I start to fly
I fall right back down
and I long to see colours of a rainbow
to know hope is still in the sky

Concrete

Dedicated to I.B. and K.L.

I rode with you in the city
and in my mind I was sleeping on his shoulder
the time to smile has passed for us
it’s gone, it’s but that doesn’t mean it’s over

I have said I loved
so many things, so many people in my life
my soul aches to this day to find
some truth inside those empty lies

but there are still the echoes
they travel through the alleys and bend
as we write in the concrete
love lies at the rainbow’s end

I walked with you on sidewalks
in places I had never seen
I trusted you with my heartfelt words,
my predictions, and my dreams

I have said I needed
so many things, so many people in my life
I hope that one day I will find
some truth hidden beneath the strife

and there are still the echoes
they travel through the alleys and bend
as we write in the concrete
love lies at the rainbow’s end

does nothing matter?
will nothing last?
can’t something be in the future
instead of in the past?
can’t I just breathe in
familiar air
in a familiar place
so I don’t have to wonder where?

there are still the echoes
they travel through the alleys and bend
as we write in the concrete
love lies at the rainbow’s end

can I hold on to anything?
are memories enough?
you write in the concrete
what is love?

Still Waiting

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

Drop dead a bullet to my head
Your words are like a gun in hand
You can't change the state of the nation
We just need some motivation
Three times casino eviction
Just lies and more contradiction

So tell me what would you say
I'd say its up: to me

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

Ignorance and Understanding
We're the first ones to jump in line
Out of step for what we believe in
But whos left? To start the pleading
How far will we take this
It's not hard to see through the sickness

So tell me what would you say
I'd say its up: to me

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

This can't last forever
Time won't make things better
I feel so alone
Can't help myself
And no one knows
If this is worthless
Tell me: so

What have we done
We're in a war that can't be won
This can't be real
I don't know what to feel

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

A Larger Plan

You set your mind and your heart, on your goal right from the start.
You then begin to plan a course, consulting every available source.
As you plan for hopes and needs, you also plant a few extra seeds,
Placing just a few irons in the fire, and this plan’s for a future desire.

However, you can never be quite sure, just which plans will endure,
Or which plans made in this life, could lead you into unknown strife.
When you fall into times of strife, God’s Plan creates a peaceful life.
So as you choose to plan ahead, be sure you seek His Plan instead.

Times change; we know not why, and some dreams will tend to die.
Even when your directions change, real Hope will remain the same.
What truly never dies is real hope, the staying force helps you cope,
Helps you cope in changing times, when your plans are misaligned.

This is the Hope from up above, which changes lives by God’s Love.
Our Blessed Hope in Jesus Christ, is the stabilizing force in this life.
Friend, the only hope that will endure, is the Hope in Christ our Lord.
He extends beyond an earthly hope, expanding to an eternal scope.

You can make your plans my friend, but God directs them in the end,
For The Lord God has a larger plan, and wants to include every man.
But you my friend must do your part, and have a real change of heart,
Then when real change does come, you’ll be in Eternity with His Son.

Unknown Changes

Friend, day by day we live as men, never knowing just how or when,
How or when our world may change; and your life is never the same.
In this life, there is no guarantee, of what today or tomorrow may be.
For this life is ever changing friend, from the beginning up to the end.

You may start with a song to sing, not knowing what a day will bring.
Your situation could be tenuous, how it may end is anybody’s guess.
Life can send you a circumstance, that seems to be one big chance.
As unseen changes occur in life, we need strength from Jesus Christ.

Even with a well thought out plan, you’ll need to trust in another man.
And when the heart of man is tried, you sometimes see a darker side.
There’s a darker sphere in this life, that sows in hearts grief and strife.
And it corrupts the heart of man, and puts in their mind a wicked plan.
An evil deceit will fill their heart, which destroys the plans others start.

Men have no respect for human life, as they do not know Jesus Christ.
They rack your life with terror and pain, and all for selfish wicked gain.
Friend, in this day and darkened time, men all need One who is Divine.
And we need to anchor all our faith, in someone higher than this place,
To be anchored in The Rock of Ages, as this evil storm of terror rages.

A Hope for all, beyond this place, has been provided by God’s Grace.
Jesus Christ will make all things new, even new bodies for me and you.
This body man can kill and maim, but Eternal Life men can not change.
As up in Heaven you’ll find your life, is securely seated in Jesus Christ.

And I Dream

When I'm lost
You take my hand and make me burn
All of the time
Turn my life around
I feel lost, take my life and make me shine
You feel life, life won't let you down
With the love we take
Have I ever let you down?
Travel round and see the world
Is there something I should find?
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
So to life
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words
I'm what you long to hear
And a place we can go to is in my mind
I love life, there's no way you can be mine
With the love we take
Have I ever let you down?
Travel round and see the world
Is there something I should find?
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
All of the time
All of the time
All of the time
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
You buy a diamond for my throne
The comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on

Way To Blue

Dont you have a word to show what may be done
Have you never heard a way to find the sun
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Wont you come and say
If you know the way to blue?
Have you seen the land living by the breeze
Can you understand a light among the trees
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Tell us all today
If you know the way to blue?
Look through time and find your rhyme
Tell us what you find
We will wait at your gate
Hoping like the blind.
Can you now recall all that you have known?
Will you never fall
When the light has flown?
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Wont you come and say
If you know the way to blue?

Love Will Conquer All

Here we are out hear, me and you
Reaching out to each other
Is all that we can do
Here we stand trying not to fall
Theres no need to worry
Love will conquer all
Do you really want to know
Just how long will last
Will all of the bad times pass?
How can we make things right?
Ooh and why, why is the world so unkind?
We surely can find peace of mind
If we only see the light
Cant you see that?
Can somebody tell me why?
Why do our dreams go wrong?
Why cant we all belong?
Oh where did we start?
Oh and tell me when
When will we ever learn
Theres nowhere else we can turn
The truth is in our hearts
Here we are together
Sometimes the road gets hard to travel
Sometimes the pains too much to bear
Sometimes when life seems to unravel
Thats the time oh to say
Were gonna make it anyway
Cant you see that?

Me

Ask me how I'm doing? 'Very good I say '
My life is good, bad memories I try and keep away
I write as therapy to get me through
All the pain from the past, when I was blue
I write alot of things, about my life
I write about things that brought me strife
I am constantly thinking what to write about
Sometimes I write so I have no need to shout
Sometimes I write straight from my heart
Maybe helping others to get a brand new start
Alot of time depression comes sneaking in
And that's when I get out my paper and pen
I look around me and will always see
That there are those that had it worse than me
I write as a hobby because I enjoy it so
It makes all the bad things have to go
I'm not usually sad by any means
Sometimes insecure, thats from my genes
I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me
My life is good and I'm finally free
So if this explains me a little bit
I think this poem I will submit!

Omega Man

We set the same scene
Circumstances different than they
Might have been
People in two places can be
Pulled into a scheme
Never what you're fighting for

Life alone
Lose a lover's arms
Never makes it easy when you try too hard
I wish you would define what you feel
Hard on or letting go

(CHORUS1)
I'm the Omega Man
Stand tall and understand
Everybody needs a plan
Mine is a better way
There'll be trouble in the world
Sex and the single girl
I'm an over-eager man
Find me a better way
Find me a better way

We share the same pain
Underneath the covers I will set you free
I will prove to you my love is
Older than the sky
Stronger than the night is long

Lord of hearts
Leader of us all
Let it be together if we rise or fall
Or is it just my imagination
Or the light of a precious stone
(You'll never be alone)

(CHORUS2)
I'm the Omega Man
I travel over land
Everybody needs a plan
Find me a better way
There'll be trouble in the world
Sex and the single girl
I'm an over-eager man
Find me a better way
Find me a better way

Here at the scene of the crime
Laid in your arms I will die
I know it's more than infatuation
That's keeping this man alive

(REPEAT CHORUS1

Life

We have to take some risks
To do some things in life;
We have to do some things,
Despite the added strife!

We have to weigh the risks
To benefits in each;
We can’t do things in haste
For aims in life to reach.

We cannot waste our time
God-given, precious-most;
Time is the same to all
To labor or is lost.

For everything in life,
We ought to make a start;
There is so much to do
Before we can depart.

A lazy-bone is one
Who never can find time;
We have to work all life
In any type of clime.

True greatness comes to few
Who struggle right from birth;
No one is born just great
But makes it upon earth!

Roads We Travel

There are many roads we travel
And probably most we leave behind
We continue to walk ahead of us
New fresh roads we want to find

And sometimes we wonder
If we took the best road we could
If we could erase them and start over
We often think perhaps we would

Some roads we travel often though
Off and on throughout the years
They get worn and sad and weary
And we shed so many tears

But we try to put them behind us
And trudge bravely on ahead
Trying very heard to not look back
But find great new roads instead

So no matter where we’ve been
As our lives we continue to unravel
We all just try to do our best
With the many roads we travel!
