No "talking"

[Setheus]

Wish I may

Wish I might

Have this I wish tonight

Are you satisfied?

Dig for gold

Dig for fame

You dig to make your name

Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste

All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down

And you break your crown

And you point your finger

But there's no one around

Just want one thing

Just to play the king

But the castle's crumbled

And you're left with just a name

Where's your crown King Nothing?

Where's your crown?

Hot and cold

Bought and sold

A heart as hard as gold

Are you satisfied?

Wish I might

Wish I may

You wish your life away

Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste

All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down

And you break your crown

And you point your finger

But there's no one around

Just want one thing

Just to play the king

But the castle's crumbled

And you're left with just a name

Where's your crown King Nothing?

Where's your crown?

I wish I may

I wish I might

Have this wish I wish tonight

I want that star

I want it now

I want it all and I don't care how

Careful what you wish...

Careful what you say...

Careful what you wish

You may regret it

Careful what you wish

You just might get it

Then it all crashes down

And you break your crown

And you point your finger

But there's no one around

Just want one thing

Just to play the king

But the castle's crumbled

And you're left with just a name

Where's your crown King Nothing?

No, you're just nothing

Where's your crown King Nothing?

No, you're just nothing

Absolutely nothing...

[lisajo]

Wow...that was deep!!!!!

COOL!

[Josie]

As LisaJo said, deep............ I liked it Setheus, very good. It has alot to say....

[Outshined]

As your will is bent and broken

and every vision has been cast into the wind

as your courage crashes down before your eyes

don't lay down and die

'Cause I see in you

More than you'll ever know

And I ask you, "Why

You question the strength inside?"

And you need to know

How it feels to be alive

When every wound has been re-opened

And in this world of give and take, you must have faith

And the distance to your dreams stretch beyond reach

Don't lay down and die

No

Cause I see in you

More than you'll ever know

And I ask you, "Would

You question the strength inside?"

And you need to know

How it feels to be alive...

How it feels

How it feels to be alive...

How it feels

How it feels to be alive...

How it feels

How it feels to be alive...

Cause I see in you

More than you'll ever know

And I ask you, "Would

You question the strength inside?"

And you need to know

How it feels to be alive...

How it feels to be alive...

[lisajo]

Outshined that made me feel a bit parinoid LOL

[Outshined]

Oh I know it's you that's calling

Ringing up my telephone

But I've chosen not to answer

I'm pretending I'm not home

Though I know it's you for certain

On my porch and all alone

I still quickly shut the curtain

Cause I'm pretending I'm not home

And though I hear you call my name

And knock-knock on the old front door

I made sure the door was locked

I'm lying on the floor

Behind the davenport

Between womb and tomb

People just won't leave you alone

So I'm staring at the ceiling

And pretending I'm not home

(whistling)

Looky there I guess my lights went out

So I can't read your little note

Go on back and tell those people, "Go away"

I'm pretending I'm not home

Though I hear you call my name

And knock-knock on the old front door

I made sure the door was locked

So I can hear you shout

"Hey let the hostage out"

Boy you sure seem so upset

Talking through the megaphone

While I'm creeping by the curtain

And pretending

I'm just crawling through the kitchen

And pretending

I'm just crouching in the cupboard

And pretending I'm not home

[seamusz]

Which will you go for

Which will you love

Which will you choose from

From the stars above

Which will you answer

Which will you call

Which will you take for

For your one and all

And tell me now

Which will you love the best.

Which do you dance for

Which makes you shine

Which will you choose now

If you won’t choose mine

Which will you hope for

Which can it be

Which will you take now

If you won’t take me

And tell now

Which will you love the best.

[Lindy]

She's Gonna Fly

This is the woman

Who had all the answers

The one I would lean on

For comfort, for strength

She's never forgotten

One grandchild's birthday

Now she can't remember my name

And it makes me so angry

I shake my fist

And cry out to the heavenly one

Why would you play

Such a cold hearted trick

I thought your job was to love

And the answer came down from above

She's gonna fly

When her time here is through

First she'll have to let go

Of some things she can't use

'Cause people and places

Memories and faces

Are just way too heavy it seems

To carry on angel's wings

This is the woman

Who saw things so clearly

The one who could pick out

One crumb on the floor

She saw through a white lie

Saw me through love's eyes

She hardly can see anymore

And it makes me so sad

And it just isn't fair

Why should so much be taken away

But when I cry out

For all that she's lost

I silently hear someone say

She's gonna fly

When her time here is through

First she'll have to let go

Of some things she can't use

'Cause people and places

Memories and faces

Are just way too heavy it seems

To carry on angel's wings

And oh, the wonders she'll see

And I know she'll remember

To watch over me

She's gonna fly

When her time here is through

First she'll have to let go

Of some things she can't use

'Cause people and places

Memories and faces

Are just way too heavy it seems

To carry on angel's wings

(Jason Blume/Karen Taylor-Good)

[Lindy]

A Mother And Father's Prayer

I know you're listening as I lay me down to sleep

It's not for me I ask, but my children's souls to keep

It seems the world is going crazy

And though I need to do my share

Could you please take them under wing

Watch over them especially

Keeping them safe from everything

This is a mother's prayer

I know you?re listening in the silence of the night

The news is blistering but I hold on to your light

And though there's darkness all around us

By my faith I know you're there

Give me the strength to lead the way

Send me the words I need to say

Use me to guide them day to day

This is a mother's prayer

This is a father's prayer

I know I can't do this by my self

I thank you for your help

I know you're listening so I know I'm not alone

I feel you here with me as we all face down the unknown

Could you return us to your garden

Where no one's hurt and no one's scared

Free us from pride and bitterness

Keep us so close we won't forget

Teach us to love as you love

This is a mother's prayer

This is a father's prayer

Teach us to love as you love

This is a mother's, a father's prayer

(Karen Taylor-Good/Melissa Manchester)

[Setheus]

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test, and don't ask why

It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind

Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time

Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

A favorite song of mine by Green Day

[lisajo]

YEAAAAAAAAAAA! Green day... One of my fav's TOO

[insertwittynamehere]

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”

Abraham Lincoln

Smart man, that guy..

[insertwittynamehere]

“We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”

George Bernard Shaw

[eleigh1977]

Oooh good thread!

James Blunt's CD, Back to Bedlam is my favorite of 2005. I just adore it.

I love all the lyrics, but I'll post Tears and Rain:

"Tears And Rain"

© James Blunt

How I wish I could surrender my soul;

Shed the clothes that become my skin;

See the liar that burns within my needing.

How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.

How I wish I had screamed out loud,

Instead I've found no meaning.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,

All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.

Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.

I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.

It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;

Hold memory close at hand,

Help me understand the years.

How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.

How I wish I would save my soul.

I'm so cold from fear.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,

All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.

Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.

I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.

Far, far away; find comfort in pain.

All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.

It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

THEN my next favorite song is by Daniel Powter...and I haven't seen his CD out anywhere yet....but I found his website and hear this song a lot on my favorite radio station....

DANIEL POWTER --Bad Day

Where is the moment we needed the most

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

They tell me your blue skies fade to grey

They tell me your passion's gone away

And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low

You're faking a smile with the coffee to go

You tell me your life's been way off line

You're falling to pieces everytime

And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day

You're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day

The camera don't lie

You're coming back down and you really don't mind

You had a bad day

You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday

The point is they laugh at what you say

And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day

You're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day

The camera don't lie

You're coming back down and you really don't mind

You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink

And the whole thing turns out wrong

You might not make it back and you know

That you could be well oh that strong

And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most

Oh you and I

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day

You're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day

You've seen what you like

And how does it feel for one more time

You had a bad day

You had a bad day

Had a bad day

Had a bad day

Had a bad day

Had a bad day

Had a bad day

-----------------------------------

That song always puts me in a good mood. :)

Letters From War

Words & Music by Mark Schultz and Cindy Morgan

from the Mark Schultz album, Stories & Songs

She walked to the mailbox

On that bright Summer's day

Found a letter from her son

In a war far away

He spoke of the weather

And good friends that he'd made

Said "I've been thinking about Dad

And the life that he had

Thats why I'm here today"

And at the end he said

"You are what I'm fighting for"

It was the first of his letters from war

(Chorus)

She started writing

You're good and you're brave

What a father that you'll be someday

Make it home

Make it safe

She wrote every night as she prayed

Late in December

A day she'll not forget

Her tears stained the paper

With every word that she read

It said "I was up on a hill

I was out there alone

When the shots all rang out

And bombs were exploding

And that's when I saw him

He came back for me

And though he was captured

A man set me free

And that man was your son

He asked me to write to you

I told him "I would,' oh I swore"

It was the last of the letters from war

And she prayed he was living

Kept on believing and wrote every night just to say

(Chorus)

Then two years later

Autumn leaves all around

A car pulled in the driveway

And she fell to the ground

And out stepped a captain

Where her boy used to stand

He said "Mom, I'm following orders

From all of your letters

And I've come home again"

He ran in to hold her

And dropped all his bags on the floor

Holding all of her letters from war

Bring him home

Bring him home

Bring him home

[pushka]

Laureltree, that's beautiful...I'm in tears!

hey, I never knew you were a 'tallica fan!

here's another good metallica song, though quite depressing when yuo relise what James was talking about:

"Mama, seh has taught me well

Told me when I was young

'Son, your lifes an open book,

don't close it 'till its done

The brightest flaem burns quickest!'

yeah thats what I heard her say

A sons' heart owed to mother,

But i must find my way.

Let my heart go!

Mama let your son grow!

Mama let my heart go

Please let thsi heart be still....

Reble my new last name,

Wild blood in my viens

Apron strings around my neck

A mark that still remains

Left home at an early age,

Of what i heard whas wrong?

I never asked forgiveness

But what is said is done

Let my heart go!

Mama let your son grow!

Mama let my heart go,

Please let this heart be still....

yeah

Never i asked of you,

But never I gave.

But you gave me yoru emptyness

That I'll take to my grave

Never i asked of you,

And never I gave,

But you gave me you emptyness,

That I'll take to my grave,

So let this heart be still,, ohh

Mama now I'm comign home,

But I'm not all you wished of me

A mothers love her son,

Spoken Heavily?

Yeah I took yoru love for granted,

And all those things yuo said to me,

I need your arms to welcome me,

This cold stones all i see.

Let my heart GO!

let your son grow.

Mama let my heart go,

Or let thsi heart be still,

yeah

LET MY HEART GO!

OH LET MY HEART GO

YA NEVER LET MY HEART GO1

SO LET THSI HEART BE STILL!

OOOHHH OOHH YEAH

Never I asked of you,

But never i gave,

But you gave me your emptyness

That I'll take to my grave.

Never i asked of you,

Never i gave.

You gave me your emptyness,

that I'll take to my grave

So let, this, heart,. be still"

had a bad day again

said you would not undestand

left a note said I'm sorry

had a bad day again.

Earshot.

[Guest &lusername&gt]

here are some origanal

Her Eyes

Her eyes sparkle,

With there ever so soft shade of green.

She flicks her hair,

Her beutiful autom-brown hair.

She smiles at him,

He smiles back.

Secetly,

They already love eachother.

She asks him to dance,

His heart is estatic.

They talk and dance the night away,

It could have lasted forever,

Yet, it didn't,

And it seems,

They must go.

But before,

They all rush home,

She gives him some writings,

And a little hope

==============================

my best friend

You were my best friend,

I just wish i could hold you agian.

Days go by,

and I dream of the time we spent together.

Long walks in the park,

watching the sunset,

going to metallica concerts.

I see you in everything i do,

I see you eyes in the cool blue ocean,

your hair in the Autumn maple leaves.

Oh how much I want to see you,

to hold you and kiss you.

And I know.

someday i will,

'cause you were,

my best friend.

===============================

A Pain, A hurt I cant hide.

A feeling, A thing to hide behind.

What might have been at once,

Now it has fade, Now it is gone.

What was that thing,

You said to me,

Why did you lie,

Why did we lie?

IS that the point,

Of life, Of love?

Why was there a feeling,

That i couldn't stop?

I couldn't just, Wish you away

But neither could I hold you.

Make a wish, or cry a tear.

But i cant wipe them away

=============================

Losing every race

i'm losing every race

yet none of them i started.

maybe soon i'll rise to my feet,

wipe every tear from my face.

i wipe the blood,

remove the dirt,

why cant i remenber the good?

seems to quick,

then it's over,

the word begins to take me in.

cut inside,

will they know,

how much the love is true?

the taste of my tears,

grow old quickly,

but it's all i have left.

if i can ever find my other poems i'll post 'em

[Justlooking]

Y o u ' r e..S o.. V a i n

Carly Simon

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht

Your hat strategically dipped below one eye

Your scarf it was apricot

You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte

And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner

They'd be your partner, and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you

You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive

Well you said that we made such a pretty pair

and that you would never leave

But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you

You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you?

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won

Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun

Well, you're where you should be all of the time

And when you're not you're with

Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend

Wife of a close friend, and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you

You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you?

Fantastic song Justlooking!!!
