Head Full of Doubt

There was a dream and one day I could see it

Like a bird in a cage, I broke in and demanded that somebody free it

And there was a kid with a head full of doubt

So I'll scream til I die and the last of those bad thought are finally out

We pray for blessings

We pray for peace

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperity

We prat for Your mighty hand to ease out suffering

All the while, You hear each spoken need

Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

But You and I Are Really Just the Same

  I would get on a bus

A bus for Human Rights

So that every person

Can live with no

Abuse or violence

So that girls can

Live with no 

Harm

That boys can

Share the wealth

So that every human

Is equal

And no one 

Is at a loss

I would get on a bus

And travel

I will stand

On my own two feet

And I will support myself

If no one else does

I will get on a bus

For Human Rights

Hunger carves in a hole

In two opposite people

The people of power

Of gold and wealth

And the people of nothing

Nothing to live for

No food or water

People talk and talk 

About changing

What are they going to change?

Travel and listen

Don't sit and talk

I would get on a bus for 

Human Rights

So that every human can

Live without a hole

Of hunger

I would get on a bus

For Human Rights becauese

The empty, dark hole

Needs to be filled with

Light, music and art

So that every word

Can be hear

And no one is ignored

And there is no empty hole

Every talks but no one

Does

Will you?

Through My Prayers

Feels like no one understands
And now my only chance
To talk to you is through my prayers
I only wanted to tell you I care

Mystic Ocean

It's a beautiful the mystic ocean.
I‘m intoxicating because a unknown mystery.
The Ocean feel as my inside world and
the surf break as drops of water.

The soul was very lonely so came to see a the Ocean's kept a dreamed and
It wanted to be similar to the Ocean.

The wide the Ocean is the native place of everything life very long time ago.
At the Ocean my mind is easy fall in love if exist person that well suit to me.

I felt the cold weather of life so I came to the Ocean.
Here I seek for that The dream of my soul.
Sometimes the Ocean was melancholy and furious.
It shows to we indirectly that the various forms of the life

I want eagerly that
always as friend I'll do with Ocean and
permanently I'll live to keep the dream of Ocean.

Blinded by Light

Blinded by the light, 
revved up like a deuce, 
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, 
revved up like a deuce, 
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, 
revved up like a deuce, 
another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers

Old Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you

May the wind always be at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

The Weight of Lies

The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there
So when you run make sure you run
To something and not away from

Cause lies don’t need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere

Blessing in the Storm

When I cannot hear the sparrow sing

And I cannot feel the melody

There's a secret place that's full of grace

There's a blessing in the storm

Help me sing it

There's a blessing in the storm

Kirk Franklin

Blessing

Give me a sense of humor,

Give me the grace to see a joke,

To get some pleasure out of life

And pass it on to other folk

Stopping by Woods On a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.   

His house is in the village though;   

He will not see me stopping here   

To watch his woods fill up with snow.   

My little horse must think it queer   

To stop without a farmhouse near   

Between the woods and frozen lake   

The darkest evening of the year.   

He gives his harness bells a shake   

To ask if there is some mistake.   

The only other sound’s the sweep   

Of easy wind and downy flake.   

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep,   

And miles to go before I sleep.

Cherokee Prayer

As I walk the trail of life
in the fear of the wind and rain,
grant O Great Spirit
that I may always walk
like a man

Blessing

I've read all the books but one

Only remains sacred: this

Volume of wonders, open

Always before my eyes

Meditation

Breath.

Slowly.

In through your nose.

Out through your mouth.

Shake out your hands.

Loosen your torso.

Roll your neck.

Release your shoulders.

Close your eyes.

Continue to be aware of your breathing.

Let go of you stress.

Think of nothing.

Just breath.

Because you are you.

I Would Be Sad

You know me; I've always been the kind with easy confidence.
Confident enough to honestly believe that nothing out there stopping me,

Especially not someone who's not loving me.
Now listen here I told you I could live on with out loving you.
I was bluffing then, but it seems that just might have been the truth.
Well my dad told me, 

"One day son, this girl will think of what she's done and hurting you will be the first of many more
regrets to come."
And he said, "If she doesn't call, then it's her fault and it's her loss."
I say, "It's not that simple see, but then again it just may be."

River Feeling

River feeling is
As simple as
Closing your eyes
For a moment.

Everything flows like river

River feeling is
As smooth as
Everything after
The first step.

Everything flows like river

River feeling is
easy as forgetting
Walking boots.

Everything flows like river

River feeling is
nice as
iron ties
Coming off.

Everything flows like river
Everything flows like river
Everything flows like river
Everything is good and flows
like river

Forever.

Hope

“Hope” is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops - at all 

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard 

And sore must be the storm

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm 

I’ve heard it in the chillest land 

And on the strangest Sea 

Yet - never - in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of me.
