By Your Side

Take my hand, walk with me,
close your eyes, and trust in me.
I’ll take you on a journey to the edge,
where love and pain will never end.
I will show you a life just like your dreams,
yet blood and tears, they will appear.
I am not perfect, I can promise that!
but for you my love, I'll give my best.
You are the girl I’m here to find,
 and I’m the one you’ve dreamed about.
Just give me time and I’ll bring you to life,
disperse your fears of darkening nights,
replace the shadows with beaming light.
I'll be by your side.

False Hope

That girl is scandalous,
she's nothing more than trouble,
but she got her arms around me,
and I'm not trying to break free.

She's that girl that gets you all confused.
Loving you then killing you.
Close your eyes, you still see her.
La, la, la, she got me so confused!

And when I see her come my way,
the world it all just falls away.
She looks so nice, shining bright.
like a star on a real dark night

I catch her eye, she looks at me!
time turns slow, it lasts all day.
She walks towards me, I fail to breathe.
her hand touches me, I awake in bed!

These dreams they are too real,
Fuck sake!

Butterfly Healing

"I need sunshine, and I need angels, yeah  I need... something good,
                and I need them blue skies, I need them good times, oh, I need... something good!"maverick sabre

Oh when I look back at my life it's like I don't know what I've done.
The clock ticks and the days pass by, but I remain the same, not knowing who I am.
And so I walk on, alone on this dark path, a martian to the world, it's not what I had planned.
My dreams have disappeared and now I have to start again. And when I rest my head, I fly away
out through the window, to a place where I can see more clear, where life, it is more fair. Like a butterfly I can break free from the shell that once enclosed me. I can express my true nature and bring color to the world. Fly through the air and dance with the wind, smell all the roses, and bring awe to the eyes of that child over there.
But I know that none of this is real, oh I know I must think clear! Rid my mind of all these fears, wipe my eyes of all these tears, start all over, get back in gear. Be the man I want to be, be the man to set me free.

"I need sunshine, and I need angels, yeah  I need... something good,
                and I need them blue skies, I need them good times, oh, I need... something good!"maverick sabre

And I will rise to meet the voice inside my head, I will overcome the darkness that eats me from within.
I will stand up tall and climb once again, no stopping until I see the light that I know shines bright.
I will break free from the shackles tied tight 'round my feet... race faster than Bolt on the best of his days.
This fire of life that burns in my heart, will grow higher and warmer than ever before.

(We all know someone who struggles through life, provide them with support whenever you can.
For them, you might just be that ray of light, or that angel, who can help pick them back up)

Know What I Mean?

War is gonna fuck us up!
It's gonna tear through our spirits like bullets tear through flesh,
Know what I mean?
And our hearts are gonna bleed like our hands have been blown off,
Know what I mean?
Our morality will be destroyed and Satan will then pick us up,
Know what I mean?
We'll be lost on a road we should never have set foot,
Know what I mean?
War is gonna fuck us up!

Pride

If you want to be free,
you gotta stand up and scream.
You gotta empty your fears,
let go of all your tears.
Fill up with joy,
start with a smile.
Look in the mirror,
say a warm hello.
Embrace and be proud,
of the beauty and light
 that stands before you.

Express Yourself

Express yourself.
You’ve got to express yourself.
In life you’ve got to express how you feel,
be yourself, live as yourself.

Remember all that makes you smile…
all that makes you cry, what makes you feel alive.
You’ve got to be true to yourself,
not afraid of the voice inside your head!
You’ve got to express yourself,
feel every emotion and feel every breath,
mean every word and know what you say.
Stay true to yourself, not the evil voice within your head.
Stop for a minute and bless yourself,
look to the sky and say thanks for your life.
And when you feel afraid and in great need,
You’ve got to be brave and know there’s an end.
Never fear to shed a tear, or speak your mind,
You’ve got to be true to yourself and how you feel.
Know we walk the same path, we feel the same pain,
we feel the same joys and we share this one life.

Express yourself.
You’ve got to express yourself.
In life you’ve got to express how you feel,
be yourself, live as yourself.

True to Yourself

Listen to your heart,
Not afraid to be brave,
Be true to yourself,
No matter what the case!

Stay true to yourself,
do what you do,
dance how you dance,
sing how you sing,
live your life as you will,
just be true to yourself.
True to yourself.

Live life with no regrets,
go do what you feel,
go be who you be.
Our Creator has good reason,
so don’t live in doubt.
Be true to yourself.
True to yourself.

You’ve got the power,
yes, you do!
You’ve got the world,
yes, you do!
You’ve got the heart,
yes, you do
You’ve got the life,
yes, you do!

You will find your way!
You will find your way!
You will find your way!

Listen to your heart,
Not afraid to be brave,
Be true to yourself,
No matter what the case!

4 Minutes of Thought

Come hold my hand and don't worry,
let us step forth together out of harms way.
Alive to the love that this life has to offer,
You and I, together as one, stronger than ever.

The heart of a human is as strong as the claws of a tiger,
we dig deeper and deeper till it's impossible to let go,
never giving up on this life of worry and pain,
enabling ourselves to see light at the end.

Powerful beyond the limits of our minds,
Only God knows how far we can climb.
Higher and higher we must fly above the black clouds,
replacing thunder and lightning with warmth and fresh air.

We are the pinnacle of what life has to bring,
but hiding ourselves won't help us to win.
We have the power to open our shells, spread out our wings,
revealing to nature our colors and dreams.

Now come hold my hand and don't worry,
let us step forth out of harms way.
Alive to the love that this life has to offer,
You and I, together as one, stronger than ever.

Be Brave and Keep Faith

This world that I live in is driving me crazy.

Walking down my street, it's like...hell is where I live in.

A teenage girl carrying a baby in her womb,

unable to stand under the weight of stress and intoxication.

A girl being raped down the alley by young men,

drugged from their senses by hopelessness...no future.

A man passes me by, his face a black mask

to the fear and depression that has taken him from within.

A rope hangs low to my side, a noose being tied by

a youth so desperately lost, life's just going too slow.

I stop for a minute and close my eyes... free my mind.

It's a desperate thing that this world is so blind.

6 billion people line my path, clouds hanging over,

not all, but enough for me to be appalled.

I continue on my way, not sure of what there'll be,

but sure it won't be something your kids should see.

Two men shouting out, over nothing much, but hell,

it's enough for a knife to the throat, now he's dead.

Police on the scene, not that they can intervene,

the human ego's too big to be disciplined for real.

A mob on the corner, getting larger as they tweet.

Ready to march for freedom, not knowing what it is.

I go on, my mind a haze of exhaustion from these realities,

My heart pounding heavily, in hope it's all a bad dream.

I stop for a minute and close my eyes...free my mind.

Now that to me is freedom. Inner peace and quiet,

A space for me to think what I want, when I want.

No to be told where to go, what to do or who to be.

That's freedom.

A man walks up to me, half naked, skin and bone.

He say's "please sir, a penny for a man who has no home?"

I bow my head and walk ahead, embarrassed... ashamed.

A kid runs up to me, barefoot and dirty, wanting no more than a smile or 'hello'.

A Mother on the path, caring for her newborn child with nothing more than love.

The minutes pass as days, strolling in this place called home,

If this is home, what is hell? I fear the thought.. it's all a dream!

But no, this is life, this is reality. There's no escaping, there's no waking up.

I stop for a minute and close my eyes... free my mind.

Now that to me is escaping from a battle zone.

A place for me to feel at ease, not worrying about reality,

not worrying about the problems that society creates.

I move forward, knowing the road still stretches way ahead.

Boys and girls lie ill to my right, suffering from curable disease.

Malaria and influenza, typhoid and tetanus, cholera and rabies

responsible for mass deaths... innocent lives we should have saved.

One block up I hear a bomb go off, US, Iraq... they're at it again.

A school of infants the victims again...does it matter who did it?

The kids are gone, their parents are broken, that's pain enough

to know you're both wrong. Battling in war ain't getting you to heaven.

I stop for a minute and close my eyes...free my mind.

For all of you who still worry... be brave and keep faith.

The world has lost its way, but tomorrow is another day.

You can't ever fail so long as you keep trying!

Be brave and keep faith...that's freedom.
