Theory
when emotions run deep
we relive the memories that we keep
sometimes our eyes begin to weep
many nights we lose sleep
with all our feelings thrown in a heap
we feel as if our heart skips a beat
and time just seems to creep
in our soul we search for peace
in our mind we search for emotional release
soon enough the pain will cease
and the joy will increase
it`s a theory at least

Never
never give in to yesterday`s fears
never look back at yesterdays tears
always know i do care
life is hard for us to bear
but tomorrow is a day for us to share
so dear girl do not fear
do not shed another tear
the sun will shine all is fine
sit with me
let`s sip some wine
problems disappear in time
pay them no mind
love is kindness
a gentle touch
money is paper
doesn`t mean much

I wonder
You seem so kind
You look so fine
So afraid to cross the line
Wonder if it`s the right time
So hard to find the words to say
You`re on my mind night and day
Wonder if i should walk away
But in my mind i want to stay
This door has been shut
Since i`ve been in this rut
Yet i have a feeling in my gut
That i just can`t cut
So I sit and I wonder
As i hear the thunder
Of the emotions that i ponder

Island of seclusion
We drift on a road to nowhere
Reality is not what it seems
It`s just a fantasy in our dreams
Getting through life by any means
Sometimes stuck in life`s latrines
Seems happiness is just an illusion
In a world of utter confusion
A story with no conclusion
So i seek my peace of mind
On an island where people are kind
And happiness is easy to find
In my world of delusion
I seek my island of seclusion

Hate
Stop messing with my head
Listen to the words that are said
Shake hands make new plans
Don`t turn this into a nomads land
In reality i`m truly a fan
Of mother natures plan
War and hate
Is this really our fate?
Will we look forward to future dates?
Will we ever unlock the gardens gate?
Shake hands before it`s too late
Mother natures not going to wait
So tired so sedate
Of seeing all this hate, hate, hate

Remember
I will remember you
And all the flowers that you grew
I will remember you
And all the knowledge that you knew
I will remember you
And how you picked me up when i was blue
I will remember you
And how you guided me when i didn`t have a clue
I will remember you
And how you stuck with me like glue
I will remember you
And how your love was always true
I will remember you
Mostly because there was no one sweeter then you

Lost
Lost in a world of indiscretion
Caught in a life of obsession
Will we ever learn our lession?
Is it time we confess it?
Not sit back and oppress it
In a world so full of aggression
We worry about nothing but our possessions
All leading to a life of depression
Learn to use some discretion
Bring a smile to your expression
All is not lost
It could always be worst
The bubble hasn`t burst
So remove the curse
Put it in reverse
Before we end up in a hearse

No Guarantee
There is no guarantee
What tomorrow will be
Many things can happen
It`s really hard to foresee
Be kind to one another
Say a kind word to your mother
Give a hug to your lover
Shake hands with your brother
There is no guarantee you see
That tomorrow will be another
So don`t worry each other
About things we can`t control
When the fire comes
Just dropp and roll
Take a nice long stroll
Just don`t fall in a hole
Look deep inside your soul
Life won`t be so cold

Teach
We are born into this world
with love in our hearts
no hate no politics
we know no religion
we know no race
we know no hate
we just see the smile on moms face
what is this strange place?
how do we learn to hate?
when do we begin to rate?
how do we communicate?
when does it become too late?
who tells me what`s great?
who teaches me too berate
is there really a heavens gate?
teach our children well
for the future will tell
because if we fail
this world will be a living hell

Just A Day
I`m just a fish swimming in the bay
On a bright sunny day
Blinded by the beauty of the suns brightest ray
Fighting tides against the wind
Thinking of what could have been
I`m just a bird flying high
In the great big open sky
watching the beauty of the bluebird fly
I`m just a moose running on the loose
wishing you were here to give me a boost
I`m just a honey bee looking for that flower
On a vine that climbs your tower
Thinking of a way that i may say
How beautiful you made my day
