Pretending To See The Future

Avoiding this is like avoiding a plague
We cant understand the advances we made
Weve tried to resist but its so hard to say no
Were pretending to see what the future will hold
We appear to be in control of our fate
Just like soldiers believe theyre in control of a war
But its moving so fast we cannot see what weve done
Were losing our eyes just to say that weve won
My minds made up, my heart is broke
My fortunes is made me and I feel so choked
I cant understand how we could ever believe
The things we asked for but never received
We never understood the times we asked
The way we wasted all that passed
This neglect is final its a stage we must
Endure to ever hope to see the first
My minds made up about the things we did
We never saw we believed we couldnt say what we missed
My minds made up, my heart is broke
My fortunes is made me and I feel so choked
I cant understand how we could ever believe
The things we asked for but never received
By making noises which we cannot control
The things we hoped that wed never forgo
We appear to be in control of our fate
Just like soldiers believe theyre in control of a war
But its moving so fast we cannot see what weve done
Were losing our eyes just to say that weve won
My minds made up, my heart is broke
My fortunes is made me and I feel so choked
I cant understand how we could ever believe
The things we asked for but never received

All The Things Weve Never Done

(craig bickhardt/jeff pennig)
They drank their anniversary glass
A silent moment passed
Then they kissed
She knows theres something on his mind
Hell tell her in due time
What it is
He says Ive never built
Your mansion on a hill
Or warmed you in the spanish sun
I simply blink my eye
And think as years fly by
Of all the things weve never done
She smiles and takes his hand in hers
And says it just occured
To me now
The thought that brings you such regret
What hasnt happened yet
It makes me proud...
You never walked away
When I needed you to stay
Or made me feel Im not the one
Thereve been no broken vows
And there reason were here now
Is all the things weve never done
Weve never grown apart
You never broke my heart
With secrets that youve kept me from
Weve never been untrue
And Im still here with you
Through all the things weve never done

Little Criminals

What you wanna come back here for?
Thought youre with your uptown friends
Dont need none of your junkie business
You gonna screw us up again
Get your blackjack off my table
Get your coat out of my rack
We dont need you round here, jerk-off
Chuck, I want you off my back
cause weve almost made it
Weve almost made it
Weve almost made it to the top
Got a gun from uncle freddy
Got a station all picked out
Got a plan and now were ready
Gonna take that station out
So you go about your business
You just leave use folks alone
We dont need no two-bit junkie
Screwin up our happy home
cause weve almost made it
Weve almost made it
Weve almost made it to the top

You're The One

Words & music by paul simon
May twelve angels guard you
While you sleep
Maybe that's a waste of angels i don't know
I'd do anything to keep you safe
From the danger that surrounds us
Little by little
Bit by bit
Little bit by little bit
Now you got it that's it
What're you thinking?
Things'll go sour?
Take its temperature every hour
Nervous when you own it
Nervous when it's gone
What do you think has been going on
For so long?
Bridge:
You are the air
Inside my chest
Chorus:
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
But when i hear it from the other side
It's a completely different song
I'm the one who made you cry
And i'm the one who's wrong
In my dream you spoke to me
And you said
Chorus:
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
Verse:
Nature gives us shapeless shapes
Clouds and waves and flame
But human expectation
Is that love remains the same
And when it doesn't
We point our fingers
And blame blame blame
Chorus:
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
And i'm the one
I broke your heart
I made you cry
And you're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
We're the ones

I Understood

If i ever asked for strength,
God must have given me difficulties,
They made me stronger instead.
Then I understood;
Sometimes He allow illness
So we care for ourselves.

If I ever begged for wisdom,
God must have granted me problems,
I think I hadst to solve.
Then I understood;
Our hearts 're broken,
So we be strong.

When asked for prosperity,
God gave me brain,
I had to think and think o' work.
Then I understood;
We fail other times,
For us to be humble.

In place of Courage,
I was given storms of danger,
Mine was to overcome.
Then I understood;
God might break our spirits,
In time to save our souls.

I called forth for favours,
Instead God made opportunities,
Up my way.
Then I understood;
Our paths 're made longer,
So we won't hit Walls.

I then asked for love,
But God gave me trouble stricken,
People. To help.
Then I understood;
Sometimes God snatch our best,
To make us live longer.

I
Then I understood something,
Happening sometime,
For some seasoned reason...,

II
I remember one time,
I broke my leg.
Now I understand;
God wanted,
Me not to fall in hole.

III
I recall another time,
My short younger brother,
Lost everything from the ground.
Now I understand;
He was to find them on shelves,

IV
When I received nothing I wanted,
God gave me everything I needed,
And that's His perfect work

Keep On Trying

Everybody is lazy
Nobody wants to do anything
Everyones crazy
At times I think Ive had enough of it
Living together
Its not a easy thing to begin
Making life a little better
Takes the power of your second please
Ive been around to love
Im trying hard, I know
I havent reach my ball
Ill do what I have to do
Someday well see it through
As long as I have you
Weve got to keep on pushing

Weve got to keep on trying

Weve got to keep on pushing

Reeko

Reeko, try to understand, it really is that bad
It wont just go away, the partys over
Its past twooclock, so its about time
We stopped, cause I see the keg has been sucked dry
The cisco was emptied in to the aquarium
Where the fish all seem to play the ex lax
Lines the dog bowl
The toilets overflowed, weve had our fun so now theres nothing left to
Damage.
We got no place left to go
Mr. president, please understand, it really is that bad
It wont just go away, its just beginning
The ballots have been cast, we make like seaward rats
Leave this sinking ship, leave and not look back
The things we never tried to disallow
Have come back to haunt us now
With apple pie and chevrolet
Weve come to see the end, weve all made this bed
Now we got nowhere to lay, dies and gentlemen
Try to understand

On Our Own

If you want something done you gotta do it yourself .
Yeah, I think this is gonna be another one of those funky ones.
Heart, soul, hit, hit, dance.
If I was you and you were me, youd wanna be winning.
If you want something better youre gonna wanna give your all.
cause I believe so much as we.
You know Im not kidding if you feel the same as me, yall.
Youre gonna wanna take the ball.
Now I found out that nothing is given, dont know where the cards may fall.
All I know is that weve gotta get it. weve gotta make it on our own.
Well, I guess were gonna have to take control. oh, oh, woah, oh!
If its up to us, weve got to take it home. oh, oh, woah, oh!
Now cant you see that all you need.
To be a go-getter. gotta make your own decisions, gotta go for what you know.
There comes a time in our lives; you wanna be bigger.
You gotta keep, keep on pushing. you gotta learn to take control.
Well, I guess were gonna have to take control. oh, oh, woah, oh!
If its up to us, weve got to take it home.
Gotta, gotta take it home. gotta, gotta, gotta take it home.
Heart, soul, hit, hit, dance.
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold.
They call the ghostbusters and theyre in control.
Had them throwing a party for a bunch of children.
When all the while, the slime was under the building.
So they packed up, regrouped, got a grip, camera quick.
Grabbed their proton packs on their backs and they split.
Found out about vigo, the master of evil.
Try to battle my boys, thats not legal. oh, oh, woah, oh!
Theyre in control. oh, oh, woah, oh!
Hit, hit, ya know it. oh, oh, woah, oh!

Tomorrow

Lay down your failures and excuses,
All of the dreams that never come true;
The past is a crutch youve been using;
Time you broke that thing in two.
Open your eyes to tomorrow.
Open your life to his care.
Open your past to his mercy.
Open your heart, hell be there.
Weve got tomorrow;
Therell be changes made inside.
Weve got tomorrow;
Gonna take it all in stride.
If we just follow,
God will lead us to his side.
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up,
You gotta move on to tomorrow.
Yesterdays gone for forever.
Well never change a thing weve done.
But the guilt is behind us,
If our hearts moving on.
Never give an inch (never give an inch) to disbelieving;
What God said, hes gonna do,
And he said when he started,
Hes never gonna quit until hes through.
Weve got tomorrow;
Dont let trouble fill your head.
Weve got tomorrow;
You gotta believe what he said.
Just follow. hell be here until the end,
So keep hanging on,
Until you pick up,
Until you move on to tomorrow.
I know some things can take time.
But I believe he changes minds.
Tell me when are you gonna see?
All you gotta do is believe!
Weve got tomorrow;
Therell be changes made inside.
Weve got tomorrow;
Gonna take it all in stride.
If we just follow,
God will lead us to his side.
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up,
You gotta move on to tomorrow (tomorrow).
Dont let trouble fill your head.
Weve got tomorrow (tomorrow);
You gotta believe what he said.
And follow (follow). hell be here until the end,
So keep hanging on,
Until you pick up,
Until you move on until tomorrow (tomorrow).
Therell be changes made inside.
Weve got tomorrow (tomorrow);
Gonna take it all in stride.
If we just follow (follow);
God will lead us to his side.
If this day went wrong

You gotta move on to tomorrow (tomorrow).
Dont let trouble fill your head.

Were Sons Of Our Fathers

it seems that family values have changed since I was a kid, at least I remember it that way...
When I grow up to be a man
Like my father was when I was young
I hope I can make him so proud of me
Proud enough to call me his son
What makes these people so different now
What makes these times so strange?
Seems most people got most everything they need
How come we see this change
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, theyre losing their soul
When will we ever learn, yet Im a believer
When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
This world seemed a nicer place to be
But time slowly passes and one day you look around
You hardly recognise what you see
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, theyre losing their soul
Now when will we ever learn, yet Im a believer
Theyre beyond our control
Were all sons of our fathers
Sometimes I feel like mine
And I can hear him say, the things I say
Seems all things come around in time
Why these things happen well never know
Guess that was then and this is now
We always knew that change was gonna come
But I want to go back, please tell me how
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, theyre losing their soul
When will we ever learn, yet Im a believer

Sentimental

Last night
we showed how much we cared
but sadness filled the air
how it made us cry
as we waved goodbye
then you left me standing there

Last night
I came home on my own
and watched a movie show
and the saddest part
really broke my heart
as it made me miss you so

I get so sentimental
can't control the beat of my heart
I get so sentimental
sentimental when we're apart

Last night
I tried to let you know
how it hurts to see you go
and how I want you near
every time I hear
our love song on the radio

I get so sentimental
can't control the beat of my heart
I get so sentimental
sentimental when we're apart

Can't control the beat of my heart
I get so sentimental
sentimental when we're apart

How you made me cry
when we waved good bye
as it made me miss you so

I get so sentimental
can't control the beat of my heart
I get so sentimental
sentimental when we're apart

I get so sentimental

I get so sentimental
sentimental when we're apart

I get so sentimental
can't control the beat of my heart
I get so sentimental

Try to Understand Me Too (Autism)

Today might not be my day,
You might understand what I want to say.
There are times that I want to wave my hand,
And you might think it is something that I am trying to demand.
Can you hear the soun
ds as I pound my feet,
Well maybe not, but all I am doing is trying to sound a beat.
Do you remember when I read the book with you?
It was about the ghost and you made me laugh when you said BOO.
I love to hear it when we whisper and shout Lullabies, songs and rhymes,
To me I wonder, if they can hear us while we do this during school time.
This is one reason why I always say things over and over again,
And when you try to stop me, I get mad every now and then.
I only wish I can understand everything that I'm being told,
But to me it feels like I am always being controlled.
Can you remember when you asked the class a question and I wanted to answer it when was not my turn,
All I am just trying to do is show you that I can remember things that I learn.
I try to understand why I get so mad and I cannot control myself and I hurt you,
When I think about it I get sad and cry because I wish someone could, Try to Understand Me Too.
I wish the other kids would let me play,
If they took the time to talk to me, they might understand things my way,
I also love it when you want to teach me how to pray,
And you ask the Lord to help thru this day,
I know that you understand me and even, if no one ever wants to even take a guess,
So, this is my ways of saying thank you and telling you that I will always try and do my best.

Run For The Sun

Orbison/price
Ive heard some people say that you should live just for today
And not let your life just drag on and on
Now since youve come along I know that theyre not wrong
And together well make a run for the sun
Ive wasted my time living line by line, taking it sure, taking it slow
But since you touched my hand, now I can understand
And I know why that we can fly and we will have fun
While we make a run for the sun, a run for the sun
Too shy at the start, to open my heart, I couldnt chance getting hurt
You showed me the way, how to live for today
You were the key, you came to me and now I am free
Now look what weve done, weve had our fun
We made our run all the way to the sun
All of the way, all the way to the sun

Ammunition

Blame it on what youve been through
Blame it on what youre into
Blame it on your religions
Blame it on politicians
Weve been blowing up
Were the issue
Its our condition
Weve been blowing up
Were the issue
Our detonation
Weve been blowing up
Were the issue
Were ammunition
Were ammunition
Were ammunition
We are the fuse and ammunition
I have no generation
Shoe me my motivation
One world one desperation
One hope and one salvation
Look what a mess weve made of love
Look waht a mess weve made
Weve got ourselves to blame
Look what a bomb we made of love

Not Only Numb

(phillip rhodes, robin wilson)
Looking all around the room I see the clutter in the gloom
Im not only back, Im not only numb
Changing shades within the evening
In a day then Ill be leaving
Im not only back, Im not only numb
When the air at home is thin
Getting out then looking in
Yeah she knows, she knows, she knows
It aint awful hard to tell
What its like, my little hell
Yeah she knows, she knows, she knows
Im now familiar with the tone I hear in bed when Im alone
Im not only back, Im not only numb
In the shade below the eaves
Think I could chain smoke anything
Im not only back, Im not only numb
When the air at home is thin
Getting out, then looking in
Yeah she knows, she knows, she knows
It aint awful hard to tell
What its like, my little hell
Yeah she knows, she knows, she knows
She knows, she knows, she knows
She sees all the cars around the parking lots of bars weve played and stayed
Started laughing, looking down upon the bed that weve made
Weve made, weve made, weve made
She sees all the cars around the parking lots of bars weve played and stayed
Started laughing, looking falling down across the bed that weve made
Weve made, weve made, weve made
The air at home is thin
When getting out, then looking in
Im not only back, Im not only numb
Changing shades within the evening
In a day, then Ill be leaving
Im not only back, Im not only numb...

Torture remains

i cried myself to sleep,
3 hours later,
i still can't think of nothing else,
the torture you did to me,
you made me bow down to you,
you made me do what i didn't want to do,
i was scared of you,
a child who wanted to be loved,
becames a sexual toy instead,
what makes it worse,
you wasn't even family,
everybody had there doubts,
but you made them believe,
that you were some kind of saint,
made me feel like i don't belong,
i still feel that way until this day,
in my heart i know i'm better than just sex,
but in my mind i believe its all i'm good for,
do you know how hard it is,
to live in a world that you feel,
could of been better?
i will never get back what i lost to you,
a sense of pride was lost,
a sense of joy to use my body,
the way it was surpose to be use for love,
i feel it as being wrong,
the people i have feelings for,
just can't understand why,
i'm left with telling,
and them leaving me,
or keeping to myself,
having them think i'm just a tease,
and move on,
either way,
i guess i don't have much to lose,
it either,
let somebody i think i have a future with in,
and let them make the choice to stay by my side,
or let them move onto a girl with less problems,
but i hate not having that control,
and when i look at it,
i don't really have as much control as i think,
i just can't go through another rejection from a guy,
because of my past,
it's not even right,
to have to loose something important to you,
all because it was something you didn't ask for,
in the first place.

In my other life ~ ~ ~ Song Lyric's

In my other life, I marched troops in formations
I manned the gun and turned them into men
In my other life, I had so many wayward women
They broke me down and made me, what I am

They showed me roads that men seldom travel
They taught me things can work only if, you try
That losing could mean your really winning
They showed me sorrow, and taught me, how to cry

In my other life, I consumed minds recreations
I made peace with myself, these insecurities, could not stand
In my other life, I lived with incarcerations
They broke me down and made me, what I am

They showed me roads that men seldom travel
They taught me things can work only if, you try
That losing could mean your really winning
They showed me sorrow, and taught me, how to cry

In my other life, I worked hard to make a living
I gave up my recklessness, and vowed never, to give in
In my other life, I was married and had children
There broke me down and made me, what I am

They showed me roads that men seldom travel
They taught me things can work only if, you try
That losing could mean your really winning
They showed me sorrow, and taught me, how to cry

In my other life, I was drawn to the Truth and His resurrection
I confessed my sins, by faith believed and made Him, my Lord
In my other life, I learned to die to self and surrender
Conviction broke me down; the Blood made me, what I am

He showed me a narrow road men seldom travel
He gave me grace to change, in the Sweet, by and by
That losing could mean your really winning
He showed me His love, the price He paid, the reason why

He showed me His love, the price He paid, the reason why

Reelin In The Years

Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldnt know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I cant understand
Chorus:
Are you reelin in the years
Stowin away the time
Are you gatherin up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
You been tellin me youre a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time Ive known you
I still dont know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didnt turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I cant understand
Chorus
I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things weve done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I cant understand

Out Of Control

I have done everything that you say.
I followed your rules without question.
I thought it would help me see things clearly.
But insted of helping me see,
I look around and it is like I am running,
Im spinning outa control, outa control
Im spinning outa control, outa control.
Where should I go, what should I do.
I dont understand what you want from me.
Cauz I dont know, if I can trust you,
I dont understand what you want from me.
I feel like I am spinning out of control
Try to focus but everything is twisted,
And all alone I thought you were be there.
To let me know, Im not alone,
But in fact that is exactly what I want.
Im spinning outa control, outa control
Im spinning outa control, outa control
Where should I go, what should I do,
I dont understand what you want from me.
Cauz I dont know, if I can trust you,
Or all of the things you said to me.
And I may never know,
the answer to this sadlis mystery.
Where should I go, what should I do,
I dont understand what you want from me.
It is still a mystery, it is still a mystery.
Im spinning outa control, outa control
Im spinning outa control, outa control
Im spinning outa control, outa control
Im spinning outa control, outa control
Im spinning outa control, outa control
Im spinning outa control, outa control
Im spinning outa control, outa control
Im spinning outa control, outa control
Where should I go, what should I do,
I dont understand what you want from me.
Cauz I dont know, if I can trust you,
Or all of the things you said to me.
And I may never know,

Did I Do Something Write?

Have I, in recent days…
made you sad
Perhaps brought tears…
To your eyes

Have I rudely rent the fabric
of your heart
By reminding you of
Old loves and lies

Have I made you smile
With a memory tweak
To times long past
Yet dear

Have I made Your
skin crawl a bit
Shiver slightly
In unfounded fear

Have I made you wonder
Why things are… as they are
Have I made you ponder
If some things… really are

Have I made you snicker
Snort or chuckle
Caused you to dreamily smell
Long faded honeysuckle

Have I made you feel
That I’ve wasted your time
That you could have done Better
than to have read what I’ve written

Have I caused a big grin …With
some asinine rhyme…Made you remember
a certain letter From that special someone…
that you were smitten

Have I gotten Inside your head
To private places…
Thoughts known
to only you

Have I done these things?
If so… My heart sings
For these are things…
That only poets do

You Were The Adult, I Was Just A Kid

you had control,
you made me feel special,
but something wasn't right,
questions were floating around,
of why i did the things i did,
the more there was,
the more secretive you became,
told me we couldn't continue,

if my parents found out,
but it didn't feel right,
you told me my parent would think i was lying,
guess what?
they did,

i created a war,
things gotten hard,
it was easy for me to admit i was lying,
than for ppl to question my judgement,
i was a kid,
you had a edge,
kids lie, easy out,

you made me depend on you,
and for what?
what did you ever do to me?
besides take advanage and kick me to the side,
you hurted me, in ways i couldn't understand,
until now, you coward,
couldn't admit to your actions,

because you,
know they were wrong,
and now becuz of you,
i understand why i don't trust,
it was one thing you took from me when i was young.
