A Lesson In Love
Nothing is for certain
Thats what the showman said
First you must open the curtain
And standem on their heads
There can be no inhibitions
No prima donna ways
If you want to pass the audition
And times is tough these days
Remember when mr. barnum
Presented jenny lind
They named a candy after her
A circus after him
End of my story
The rest is history
She in all of her glory
He lived quietly
He needed her, she needed him
As sure as the sky above
In a way it was for them
A lesson in love
A lesson in love
You look like the moonglow
That follows me home
Always makes me turn around
Wont leave me alone
First to come are the midgets
A monkey and a kid
Followed by those two one-armed jugglers
The ego and the id
Songs of the season
Apples of the sun
There is no rhyme or reason
Just a time for each and every one
Hang on mr. barnum
Hang on jenny lind
We will meet you in streets of gold
Where eternity begins
We will let it all hangout
Go hand in glove
Live was meant to live and learn
A lesson in love
A lesson in love

Hetuaght me a lesson
He said he was going to
teach me a lesson.
I needed to no some things.
The lesson was rape.
But he said it was a game.
He said I had to learn sometime.
When he'd finished.
He smiled and said.
This happens to
Stupid little girls
All the time.
I was only teaching you a lesson.
If it was a lesson to learn
It was one well tuaght.
Be weary of who you trust.
For you never can
Read people like a book.
If you could
The world would be safe.
It was a lesson hard learned.
One that still remains today.
Its a lesson that effects me still.
I only wish I could
Of turned and run.
Only when your young
Like that you dont
Really understand.
If I did
I would of ran.
A thousand miles a way.
Out of reach.
And out of harms way.

Life Is a Lesson
Life is a lesson.
Don't be afraid to live it!
Take what it gives...
And return to it a thankfulness.
Life is a lesson.
We all have tests to pass.
Some attempt to refuse their tasks.
And fall to to become indignant and crass.
Life is a lesson.
Learn your lessons well.
Some will choose a path to heaven!
Others will curse themselves...
Preferring to address their stressing hell!
Life is a lesson!
Do what is received as given...
And perceive with that,
You are doing you're best!
At least...
You are doing what you can and well!

My Lessons Of Man.
my lesson are here for me to learn, discern, observe,
my lesson one, man never to trust,
lesson we need to learn all the time,
Im I lonely because nobody can true pity me?
Im I lonely because the world out there is indifferent, ?
Im I lonely because nobody helped me?
Im I lonely because I cannot see inside your face, ?
Im I lonely because I've been set up many at times in my lifetime, ?
Im I lonely cause I give and never receive?
Im I lonely cause they tried to ruin me?
Im I lonely cause I loved my life?
Im I lonely cause only the rest could Kill, ? I'm Ionely cause Christ said follow me alone?
or I'm I lonely cause I really dont know?
no man or teacher is there to teach me truth at home and in the streets,
tell me why?

Still On My Feet
Because still I have in love faith
I'll praise the love everyday
Although your love guided my soul
To never ending loneliness
But inside my heart the seeds of love never will end
Still have the faith after every storm
The sun always shines calm
strongest then before
Yet I have the belive that in every pain that we do pass through
There is a new lesson that should be lived to be understood
A new lesson a new road that guides us
To the correct path of love
Yes I'm still here
After all that you've done
I'm still standing on my feet
Strongest than I've been
There was a lesson that should be learnt
That always the positive thought earns the war
Guides us to the safe shore

Kid Gloves
A world of difference
A world so out of touch
Overwhelmed by everything
But wanting more so much
Call it blind frustration
Call it blind mans bluff
Call each other names
Your voices rude,
Your voices rough
Then you learn the lesson
That its cool to be so tough
Handle with kid gloves
Handle with kid gloves
Then you learn the lessons
Taught in school wont be enough
Put on your kid gloves
Put on your kid gloves
Then you learn the lesson
That its cool to be so tough
A world of indifference
Heads and hearts too full
Careless of the consequence
Of constant push and pull
Anger got bare knuckles
Anger play the fool
Anger wear a crown of thorns
Reverse the golden rule
Then you learn the lesson
That its tough to be so cool
Handle with kid gloves
Handle with kid gloves
Then you learn the weapons
And the ways of hard-knock school
Put on your kid gloves
Put on your kid gloves
Then you learn the lesson
That its tough to be so cool

Lessons In Love
First you cuddle up beside me nice and near
Then you whisper all the things I long to hear
That's the first lessson in love
Mmmm...Give me your heart
Then you put your two sweet lips on mine like this
And you'll learn the magic of a tender kiss
That's the next lesson in love
Mmmm....lesson in love
It's so easy when you know how
O my darling let me show you now
Last you whisper I love you so sweetly
Then I'll know you've learned it all completely
That's the last lesson in love
Mmmm...baby love me true

Home Again
Ive been away for much too long
I hope you still feel I belong
I didnt mean to cause you pain
Nothin to lose, much more to gain
So can you stand the rain?
Just when I thought that we were through
I found my way right back to you
I cant change what happened in the past
And wont promise this time it would last
Can you stand the rain?
(can you stand the rain? )
So on the story goes
Heaven only knows
The road of life will turn
A lesson we will learn
And no one knows but fate how well end
People who know
They say you cant go
'home again
But if you ask me
Im happy to be home again
I stand here all alone confused
cause I like living with or without you
Will our story end
Like a fairy tail
Or just another heartbreak
Only time will tell
So on the story goes
Heaven only knows
The road of life will turn
A lesson we will learn
And no one knows but fate how well end
People who know
They say you cant go
'home again
But if you ask me
Im happy to be home again
(home again)
No matter where
No matter how
No turning back
No stopping now
cause we may never ever pass this way again
Just give me one more chance
Let me come home again
So on the story goes
Heaven only knows
The road of life will turn
A lesson we will learn
And no one knows but fate how well end
People who know
They say you cant go
'home again
But if you ask me
Im happy to be home again
(spoken):
So now you kinda understand the story, right
Me and the fellas trying to bring this back together
Just like old times
Yall know when it used to be ronnie, bobby, ricky, mike, ralph, johnny
Take it back like that
So fellas, lets take this record home
And this time, lets stay there

A lesson in courage (My beautiful mother)
A lesson in courage
That’s what my mother is
A beautiful flower
I was born with in
I thought I could live without her
But she is the air I breathe
I was tired of all her words
But she is my sun, my star, my world
I know I’ve hurt her many times before
But it’s just my stupid way of saying:
“I love you more than I ever did before”
Is immature, I know, I still have a lot of things to learn
I thought I could live far away from her
I probably could, but it wouldn’t be the same
I have laugh of her silly ways
But she’s lovelier than a summer’s day
She’s the sea full of emotions
Deep, cold, warm and furious emotions
She’s the mountain that stands at a distance
So tall and grand, so rocky and steeped
She’s the breeze that’s humid and free
She caresses the wind when she walks in between
My mother is a lesson in courage
That is what she is
She the reason I live for
And I would really really miss her when she’s gone
She’s my space
And she’s filled with greatness
She’s my peace
She was my first awakening
She’s a stone
The hardest of all
And I’m only as strong
As she has ever been, as she will ever be
A lesson in courage
That’s what my mother is
Such a beautiful moment
When ever I meet her arms
And I’m sorry I have broken her heart
I should handle with care such an extraordinary love
But I’m still young and unaware of her perfection
She’s the sweetest and bravest of all the creations
She’s my reason to live
She’s the star that guides my north, my south
My east and west
She owns all my respect
She deserves the best
And my every sublime conquest
She is the master
Behind this beautiful prospect
My mother is my heaven and my hell
She’s the motor that propels
She is greatness and she’s strong
The most beautiful of all
My mother is a lesson in courage
That’s what she is
A beautiful flower
I’m still learning how to gently handle
I love my mother
My beautiful mother
That’s who she is
My beautiful mother

How To Survive Without Riches
First,
We must relax.
And begin to breathe...
Slowly.
In with the new.
And out with the old.
In with the new.
And out with the old.
Remember...
There is only one cycle of breath.
Now...
We are all ready,
To learn a lesson about trust.
Let us all close our eyes...
Gently.
Deep breathe...and,
In with the new.
And out with the old.
In we go...
With the new,
AND...
Removed from us,
Is the old!
In with the...
'Hey?
My watch is gone.'
~Where are my shoes?
My wallet is missing.~
'You said,
We are all going to learn a lesson about trust.
Everything has been taken from us.'
Trust!
Has been a lesson...
A major lesson,
All of you have learned today.
~TRUST?
Everything.
Our valuables have been stolen from us.
That's not trust.
That's THEFT! ~
I disagree.
IN with the NEW.
And OUT with the OLD.
There is nothing crooked about that.
And TRUST?
I think you all have learned that lesson.
DO NOT EVER DO IT!
EVER...
AGAIN!
'What about our valuables?
Our things? '
You have all signed contracts,
Stating you come to me...
For lifestyle changes!
And...
You can admit with assessment,
Everyone here has experienced...
Immediate and rapid change.
Have you not?
I will expect all of you back,
For the next session...
BASIC LIVING!
HOW TO SURVIVE WITHOUT RICHES.
And...
STILL FEEL THE GLOW Of LOVE!

Pride Robs Faith
If you are not careful, Pride may rob you of Faith-
And what was once beauteous, may become again, a wraith!
This is a lesson that God, not I, does teach-
I merely exhort you to listen, -your heart's attention I do beseech!
Do not allow that Pride may rob you of that for which you aspired-
Nor, rob you of the life and love, that you have always desired!
Pride is surely one of the Seven Deadly Sins-
Yet, the lesson is not over because this knowledge begins
To settle into the fabric of your life-
Nor, will it, by the Glorious Day, I make you my Wife-
No, no Beloved-it's a lesson Heavenly Father teaches over a lifetime;
I gift you now: both the Glory and the Rhyme
Of mine own heart, in aid to Him, in this regard;
Embrace this ardor, this love, you once threatened to discard!

Love Song
The words I have to say
May well be simple but theyre true
Until you give your love
Theres nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No-one can offer you more
You know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen?
You say you find it hard
To lead the life that we once knew
But theres no other way
So now its really up to you
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must learn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
You say you find it hard
To lead the life that we once knew
But theres no other way
So now its really up to you
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must learn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

Failure's Not Flattering
Dont leave this rock unturned
Cause you could like what you find
A sure shot it
With your name attactched to it
Will you keep me in mine
I wont cast the first stone
Or leave the first mark
But I will leave a lasting impression
You believe what you want
And you say whats been said
And I do hope you learn a lesson
Whats your problem
Cant you see it
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will
Dont look too hard
For what you want
Cause it could be on
The tip of your tongue
Your holding back
Like theres nothing left to it
Could this be a false alarm
I wont cast the first stone
Or leave the first mark
But I will leave a lasting impression
You believe what you want
And you say whats been said
And i do hope you learn a lesson
And i do hope you learn a lesson
Whats your problem
Cant you see it
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will
Why dont you get it together now
Failure's not flattering
When will you show yourself
(when will you show yourself)
And I do hope you learn a lesson
You'll never learn your lesson...
Whats yout problem
Cant you see it
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will x 2

Hard Lesson To Learn
I drifted into the notion
That you were looking for me
I told myself that devotion
Would flow from your heart to me
When I looked into your eyes
Still no reflection did I see
Of love light glowing within there
That I hoped there would be
And its a hard lesson to learn my friend
A hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
times you gonna get burned
I took a chance on emotion
Washing my heart out to see
A single wave on the ocean
You feel so distant from me
And theres a shadow dark upon your smile
A sadness living in your eyes
Storm clouds rolling in an outofdaught
Guess I been living alive
And its a hard lesson to learn my friend
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
And its a hard lesson to learn my friends
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
I drifted into the notion
That you were looking for me
I told myself that devotion
Would flow from your heart to me
But when I looked into your beautiful eyes
Still no reflection did I see
Of love light glowing within there
That I kind o hoped there would be
And its a hard lesson to learn my friends
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Yeah, yeah,yeah
Yeah, yeah oh
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned

COVID - The greatest equalizer
We are all covered in loneliness
- with a cold and lonely blanket -
desperately trying to keep our soul warm,
and fend off the insidious virus,
that is torturing and infecting
our well being.
We are hoping that sometime,
in the near future,
we would be able to emerge
from the cold and lonely blanket,
revealing a much better
and humble person.
We all should recognize
that the greatest equalizer
- the deadly virus -
doesn't discriminate,
but merely teaching us a lesson...
Nobody is above nobody...
We are all equal
and we have to learn,
to thrive and to better ourselves.
We have to learn
to respect and to be kind
to one another,
and to learn to appreciate
the little things...
Little things can make us
a bigger person ,and
a much happier person.
The most important lesson
is to learn to love, and
give love to those close to you.
To learn to enjoy every day
as it would be your last day...
You never know when
the greatest ever equalizer,
knocks on your door...
Therefore, live to love and
love to live...

Arise & Shine
The only way to love,
Is through love.
You must seek love,
Then you will find love,
Eventually to become love.
The stairway to heaven,
Is at the end of the highway to hell.
For it not easy.
It is not love that hurts,
It is becoming love that hurts.
Our idea of love, is not love,
But want.
The cross is the example.
The man was the lesson.
The act was the proof.
Follow the example,
Learn the lesson,
Witness the proof.
Love of this is earth,
Is anything but truth.
There are no short cuts.
Or you will cut yourself short.
For the man on the cross,
Became true love in the final moment,
When it was done.
For when it is done,
You will find it.
And realize it always was there.
Inside the man,
Waiting to be awoken.
Arise and shine!

Through the darkness I see you again
Watch my temperature rise
Cant believe my eyes, dont tell me
Ive had way too much tonight
Drank the potion stronger than me
Got me all confused
Why you so amused, dont tell me
Youve had way too much tonight
Please dont tell me no
God, I miss you so
One thing you should know
God, I love you so, oh
Had way too much tonight
Im a mad dog at times like these
Dont know where to turn
Aint the time to learn my lesson

Boom
Semi automatic pulse
Psyched up for the next level
I plug you in
Make life flash before your eyes
Oh God so fixated
It's love labeled X-rated
Oh God so fixated
It's love labeled X-rated
Nonstop mentality
You better learn your lesson well
Nonstop mentality
You better know your heaven well

Raising Hell x4
Boom
Anti Depressive eyes
Try to hidein an alibi
Smashed up
But feel no pain
Doesn't mean your in the game
