The Day You Were Born

The day you were born
The world came alive
The world was so dead
Until you arrived
The look on your face
It gave them such joy
They're all here for you
The world is your toy
The light of the world
Is all that you are
They bow down to you
You dazzling star
They breath in your air
It fills them with life
They bow to your eminence
They bathe in your light
Your purpose on earth
To save all mankind
To heal all the sick
Give sight to the blind
The world was so dead
Until you arrived
The world's only here
Because you're alive

Gratitude

Gratitude should be your attitude
There's always someone worse off than you
So don't wallow in self pity

You Are Great
02:03

You are great cause you care for others
You are great cause you care for yourself
You are great cause we love each other
You are great cause you mind your health
You see life through your neighbor’s eyes
You find the wants of the other guys
You know the secret to success
Is knowing all the needs of the rest
What is it that your neighbor wants
What are his dreams and fears that haunt?
What is it that your neighbor feels?
What fills your neighbor’s heart with zeal?
You are great cause you take a moment
To realize life’ s not a game
You are great cause you fail to foment
You are great cause you ride the wave

Who Are You?

Who are you?
Who am I?
I am a lie
Who are we?
Infinity
Who are us?
Nothingness

Lies To Live By
02:57
|
|

|
We all need a lie to live by
We all need some lies to sleep at night
God in his heaven Smiles down at me
Loves me and Curses my enemies
We all need a lie to live by
We all need some lies to sleep at night
My life has meaning I’m sensible
My home is safe And defensible
I hide behind lies
I need to disguise
My life is unbearable
Otherwise
We all need a lie to live by
We all need some lies to sleep at night
George sold a lie ‘bout that cherry tree
Fills me with tons of anxiety
The government killed John F Kennedy
The towers came down at free falling speed
Better to lie
The truth’s on their side
And all that I have to do is just be me

Dad went out for cigarettes and never came back
And I say "Good riddance to bad rubbish"
Mom might miss him but I sure don't
I don't miss his touch in the night
I say "Good riddance to bad rubbish"
He was a slob
He just about lost every job
And he would diddle his kids
The neighbor girl who'd baby sit - molested
Dad is gone and I hope he's dead
I won't shed a tear
I just say "Good riddance to bad rubbish"
Dad is gone but my soul is dead
The damage is here forever
I just say "Good riddance to bad rubbish"

Bless Everyone

Life is a gift from the gods
We’re all here beating the odds
Life never should have begun at all
The fact we’re here is an unsung miracle
When you’re walking down the street
Bless everyone you hope to meet
This life can be the best
When it’s not an endurance test
Bless friends and foes alike
And just before you shut your light
Make sure they all are blessed
And wish for them just the very best
Before you go to sleep
Bless everyone you hope to meet
Before you go to bed
Bless everyone that’s in your head
Bless everyone you know
Be they family friend or dreaded foe
Be a little man
And know your part of a bigger plan

We're Gonna Be Okay
01:52
|
|
||
|
We need somebody to say
We’re gonna be okay
Today
Today
There’s heaven above
And there’s hell down below
We’re somewhere
In between you know
We’re gonna be okay

I am honored – Humbled here
In it’s divine presence
Id and ego - disappear
At the great wall of indifference
At the great wall of indifference
I drop my sword to the floor
At the great wall of indifference
I cannot fight anymore
I am lonely – Never ends
With or without a reason
I am empty – without friends
I’m cold in every season
(Chorus)
Surrender - Self pity – I’m as close as dead
Brings joy and feeling giddy
Nothing more can be said
I can’t just leave the city
I am speechless – Can’t be sad
At the great wall of indifference
Doesn’t matter – Good or bad
At the great wall of indifference

You Are Special
01:54
|
|
||
|
You are special
You are unique
You have an important
purpose on the earth
You are a leader
You are a friend
You're here to organize
a happy end
And while you're here
Be of good cheer
Keep your enemies away
And your friends near
While you're away
Be happy and gay
And when you feel sad inside
Remember to say
You're okay

My Child

My child came home-----Lonely and sad
I took her into my arms
I’m here for you------Tell me what’s wrong
We’ll turn it into a song
Talk to me dear------Tell me your fears
Talk to me all night long
I’ll never leave------When you need to greave
When you’re weak I will be strong
My child came home------heartbroken sad
I said “I hear you, my love”
You’re hurting is real-----I love you so much
I love that you’re able to feel.
