Today I Woke Up Eager

Today I woke up eager
Eager for love, for dreaming, for creating
For sitting with a bunch of good friends 'round the fire
And doing all the simple stuff as if they were the last

Today I just want to put my earphones on
Listen to that good old song and wander around
To throw my cellphone away and go missing
With no destination, with no time to arrive

Today I want to step out of line, I want to dig for the new, the different
To discover new skills, abilities, tastes
To unveil things that were suppressed either by failure or discrimination
To think with no established concepts, with no boundaries

Today, i'm going on a quest to find the witches den, the dragon's nest
Crossing out the fields under the sunlight in the company of my loyal dog
Fighting hordes of cows and going to places no one has ever been before
To, at least once, let the right brain take over and deviate

Today I'm eager for change
Cause maybe, we all deserve more
And maybe, the paradise is just a step away
I'm eager... for living

The two lives

Today I saw two sons being born
Both with that loud wail they came
Innocently eager to meet their destines
To walk that earth and be somebody,
Rewrite the thought about their land
They shared a brightness in their eyes.

Today I saw two youthful boys pass by
One with a bag going on to school
Running fast to meet his tomorrow,
He held that same brightness in him.
The other with a bunch of firewood
Too scared to even hold his head up high,
Scared to think, what tomorrow is to be?

Today two men woke up in the morning
One was rushing; he’s to be sworn in today,
Sworn in as one of the Ministers of State
The other rushed to sit by the roadside,
At least today the minister will see him
Maybe, today he will and give him a coin.

Today I saw those two sons of Africa
That were born to be the same, a blessing
But only one got the chance to become
One lived safe and became then, educated
He alone received his right in life.

I eager for You

today, O My Beloved,
I eager for you…
there was no such word
until today; today, there is..

to say, I’m eager for you
would be to say,
less than, I am…
when it’s I am, and
which you are, O My Beloved,
that eagers…

nor do I recognise eagerness..
how can I, if it’s not me?
no, today, it's an active word...
what else might I say?
to say I long, makes it sound
that I may never find you…

to say, I languish, makes me sound
so weak and hopeless…
to say, I yearn, makes it sound
as if I never knew You…

even the Hebrew word the psalmist used –
the deer that yearns for the waterbrook,
the hart that pants for cooling streams –
even that word’s uncertain; some say
it’s the way that a deer, feet slightly splayed
upon the sloping bank, stretches out its graceful neck
to the clear, pure, healing water…

some say, it’s that slight sound the deer makes,
as it gently laps that lovely water…
the sound that quenching makes...
today I am that deer, tasting what’s just out of reach…;
that feeling beyond all words possesses me –

the feeling that You who ever are inside me, Lord,
wish to proclaim You outside me –
today, O My Beloved,
I eager for to be myself; for You…

There has been a day like today
But a fresh new day is today
It is a unique day today
It is wide open today
All the answers for our questions has today

Let us dream today
Let us laugh today
Let us share our love today
Let us express our greatness today
Let us trade many a yesterday for today

Let us perform our tasks today
Let us make it a magnificent today
Let us thank God for giving life today
Let us thank God for seeing His creations today
Let us love most about today

A golden day is today
For it is a fact today
It has arrived today!

Who Would Have Thought

strange to hear them say

i miss being a kid
though when all you had
to do was go to school

used to think
that
was so difficult

so eager to grow up
so eager to venture out into the world
so eager to earn money

so eager to spend money
so eager to travel to exotic places
so eager to experience life

some say school days
are the best days of your life
some said it is hard to believe...

that these are the best days of our life
when they were still teenagers at school...
I say why limit yourself expect

hope pray
the best is yet
to come

Devil in the eyes

eager to find something new
eager to be respected and rewarded
eager to get result faster than anyone else
it's why, insist that they are the right one
when the devil comes into their eyes
everything that wants to be seen and got
will looks like real
when effects to human
darkness from knowledge
settled without being known by anyone
darkness will always be there
but, it will be good if you can survive
not dragged into it

Special Day

Today is my day,
and no one elses around.
Today is my day and celebrated all around.
Today my grandparents come and the birds cherp.

Today is my day.
Today is my day I get stuff I wanted.

Today is my day.
and after dinner I get a cake with candels.

Today is my day,
all the way until midight.

Today is my day,
but now it is someones some where else.

For you are

Yesterday
I dreamt of a girl, I met a star, I saw a healer of hearts
I woke up today and realised that it was you

Yesterday
I heard a sweet voice, I saw a pretty face, and I caught love
I woke up today and realised that it was yours

Yesterday
I picked up a soul, I picked up a rose, and I inhaled a soft breeze
I woke up today and realised that it was you

Yesterday
I wished for a shooting star, a cool mind, a best mate
I woke up today to realize that you are everything that I wished for

Epilogue to Through the Looking Glass

A boat, beneath a sunny sky
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July --

Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear
Pleased a simple tale to hear --

Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.

Still she haunts me, phantomwise
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.

Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.

In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:

Ever drifting down the stream --
Lingering in the golden gleam --
Life what is it but a dream?

Believe It Or Not

Believe it or not
Ive been waiting for you to come through
Love of my life
Believe it or not
Ive been waiting for you to come through
Love of my life
And though the hour grew later and later
I would hold on for one more heartbeat
While my friends around me were calling
Today, today, today, today
As strange as it seems
I remember your face from before
Believe it or not
Before you and I were washed up
On this alien shore
As strange as that seems
Though the hour grew later and later
Still Id hold on for one more heartbeat
While my friends around me were calling
Today, today, today, today
Today the world seems brighter
Light and bright and right somehow
I could not have held on tighter
Waiting for the past to come to pass, no
Once in a dream Ive seen myself through your eyes
This you should know
Wading the stream that flows in between you and i
Once in a dream
And though the hour grows later and later
I would hold on for one more heartbeat
While my friends around me were calling
Today, today, today, today

A day for love

Today is the day
I let my love fall
I let it go freely
I stop hearing for its call

Today is the day
such a meaningful one yes
I did all I could
my heart did its best

Today is the day
I close my eyes
I watch my love drift away
as butterflies do fly

Today is the day
I send out a smile
that her dreams come true
through her hoped for miles

Today is the day
I stop dreaming of
something that wasnt right
because only I was in love

Evening Wind

Music :ulrich roth
Lyrics:ulrich roth
A summer day is gone
Listen to the evening wind
Singing tunes of (tel aviv)?
Into the setting sun
You lie in twilight sleep
Dreaming colors deep
Today all life is gone
Look at the golden chalice
Flag broken on the ground
Ringing fire blazing round
Where are your friends
You see all hope
Lying broken on a slope
Today all life is gone
Have you ever listened to the evening wind
To the ? ? ? and it through
Have a listen and you will see my friends
Wind is telling you the truth

Today (Earth Song)

Please oh please
where blue ain't green
so flowers can bloom and birds can sing
today
Hang out with your friends
cool breezing sun
and I'ma join y'all so we can all have fun
today
and blow me a kiss
and dry my clothes
while I run through the sheets like I'm 5 years old
today
You got the natural wood grain with the big ol' 'fro
your fresh 15's got me ridin' low
today
smile today
smile today
smile today
smile
today
See you got this new man
who treats you wrong
but I'ma do you good before your youth's been gone
today
and if you feelin' kinda grey
I understand
emotions sway but I'm still your friend
today
You got bugs in your house
that you let run free
but if they don't bug you then they don't bug me
today
See, I respect you and you respect me back
so I'ma make sure I put my trash in the sack
today
smile today
smile today..
(feel good today)
In origin brown you look so young
so let's spend the night 'n tell purple to come
today
and I'ma sing you a song so play that track
with the creekers in the back that so abstract
today
and as I take a deep breath
I close my eyes
I say a little prayer for the sun to rise
today
(tomorrow)
and I see in the morning all bright and fresh
and I'll be the girl in the yellow dress
new day, new day
smile today
smile today
...
