An Everlasting Love
True Love's Kiss
I've been looking for my soul mateYou nod sympathetically
smile when I'm praised
and laugh whenever I do
Don't pretend to know what I feel.
You don't know, you couldn't possibly
You're not me.
The secrets of my heart are my own
and you have no right to interfere
Instead of walking around in my shoes
why not try somebody else's?
How about your own
A woman was driving sober one night
On a dark, deserted road.
nothing in life ever seemed to go right;
her dream home had just been sold.
Her baby was anxious to be born,
It never did anything wrong.
That's why it seems so unfair.
That now they're both dead and gone.
One beer too many,
Is what ended his life.
Leaving behind
A grieving family and wife.
“One more beer won’t kill me.”
He had thought with a laugh,
And taking the bottle into his hands.
He alone was to blame for his death.
No one knows the consequences
Before they drink and drive.
Or if they do, they choose to ignore
All of the warning signs.
When they get behind the wheel--
No worries or cares anymore
During those briefest moments
Their lives the grim reaper stole.
A kind old lady wiped away a stray tear,
Staring down at her husband beside her.
She never thought it would happen this fast,
But everyone dies sooner or later.
The doctor walked into the waiting room,
An unreadable look in his eyes.
"It's a boy," he informed the assembled group
"But I'm sorry to say his mom died."
When a speeding bullet found its mark,
A young boy lay dead on the ground.
No one knew the reason he died,
His family just gathered around.
The boy looked at his father,
tears in his eyes
"Why does everyone around us
always have to die?"
The father looked sadly at his son
and took a long deep breath
"Think of the things that are worth living for...
Life is not all about death."
I watched him from far away
Standing under a lighted corner.
He stood there suspiciously watching me
But I gave him the cold shoulder.
What gives him the right,
To look at me that way?
Is not a man, a man?
I refuse to obey.
His badge shines brightly off the light
That's filtered from above
With narrowed eyes, he views the streets
Despising a job he once loved
What gives someone the special right
To hail above the rest?
This world is too small to live a white lie
In my opinion they're pests
Well I say, cops they're just like us,
People through and through.
When they yield power over us
It's really nothing new.
What gives him the right,
To look at me that way?
Is not a man, a man?
I refuse to obey.
There would be no people left to defend
Without them here or there
This world would be run with guns and drugs
And no one would even care.
Who would defend the weak
Or the wronged?
The people who are mugged, raped or killed
By the strong?
I think it gives him the right,
To look at me that way
They are there to fight for us
Perhaps we should obey.
With a cry, the bird fell down
Landing on the ground below
Its mother gently nudged it,
But it didn't want to go
Fear makes us afraid
Of things we don't do well
But if we always give up
Then we'll always fail
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
Only when you've heard the words
Can you finally learn to talk
So if ever you fall down
Get up and try again
Fixing your mistakes
Is the only way you win
Take it one day at a time
There is no need to rush
Nothing's ever out of reach
If you believe in it strongly enough
