''MY LOVE''
there is so much I hold inside
enough to reach the lowest valleys
and highest mountainside
so I share my love with you
everyone in the world come here
what I have to say is true
I shout it across the ocean and sea
as I want every person to hear
you are all a part of me
blessings to you wherever you are
you hold the key to my bottomless
heart
and you are my bright shining star
my love expands across the earth
it's more than my heart can
possibly hold
because of you each day is new
rebirth
thank you for being the part of me
the part I cannot go one day
without
I just wanted the whole world to
see
''CHANGING A CRUEL WORLD''
the mind is a raging river
that descends into the depths of
man's heart
we tend to pass over the popping
lilacs
and step into the mire
wiping our feet with mocking
laughter
instead of with loving hearts
what we forget is the beauty
of mankind and what blessings we've
beheld
as we continue a journey that leads
to forbidden lands and darker
worlds
racism is only the beginning
of the darkness that grows more and
more dreary
it leads to doors shut in the face
armor tight hearts that refuse to
open
and to a world that we fear
instead of the once adoration of
purple lilacs
red roses that bloom in the fields
poisoned by the hatred of mankind
and all that is now offered by this
cruel world
help us to fight against those that
refuse
to believe and to understand
just say 'hi' and wave a friendly
hand
in the air with a smile or give a
laugh
to someone in need of a little
humor
let's stand to protect those that
need protection
let's fight for those who cannot
fight
let's be the path that is laid
among the daisies
and stretch forth to change such a
cruel world
we are who are and that's all we'll
ever be
''TEARDROPS''
falling as the rain from the sky
I look at the world and wonder why
so many have let it come to this
world of anger and pain - snakes
that hiss
in the faces of those that try to
love
to show the world a gift from above
my teardrops fell like rain today
the pain I feel just won't go away
rage, anger, racism, too many scars
interfere with what and who we are
it hurts to see what's taught or
tried
so I keep myself barred up inside
thus, I can't see the world's pain
until I open that closed door again
teardrops falling as my heart
breaks in two
so much influence and I know not what
to do
if I could but just win this one
fight
that is all I would ask this very
night
against those that hate, ridicule
or despise
against those with blood stained
eyes
help me fight so that love can win
and wipe out all the hatred and its
sin
then maybe tonight when I lie in
bed
I can sleep peacefully when I lay
my head
and dream about a world of
lollipops and smiles
that spread abroad for miles and
miles
hold me tight and stand by my side
as we triumph over ignorance and
pride
may racism fall down upon its face
and splatter tortured dreams all
over the place
thank you, Dear Friend, wherever
you are
thank you, My Neighbor, both near
and far
