I LUV YOU
I got your back
You got mine,
I'll help you out
Anytime.
To see you hurt
To see you cry,
Makes me weep
And wanna die.
And if you agree
To never fight,
It wouldn't matter
Who's wrong or right.
If a broken heart
Needs a mend,
I'll be right there
To the end.
If your cheeks are wet
From drops of tears,
Don't you worry,
Let go of your fears.
Hand in hand
Love is sent,
We'll be friends
Till the end.
Friends can be cruel*
Some
friends come and go
And some of them die
While you sit there and morne
While you wonder "God why?"
Some
of them betray you and make you cry
Some of them stay right by your side
Some of them love you, no matter what
Some
of them hurt you, deep down inside
People could have lots of true friends
Some people have one
Many people have
two of them
More people have none
I can think of one that wasn't mine
I trusted her with all my heart
Then
she turned it around
And ripped it apart
She dated my crush
Rubbed it in my face
Talked about him all the
time
And how I could never take her place
One day she told me something
that really made me cry
So i put
out my arm and punched her
Gave her a black eye
Now she knows how I really felt
Im not proud of it
Were not
friends anymore
And I dont miss her a bit

A heart is not a play thing
A heart is not a toy
But
if you want it broken
Just give it to a boy
First he says he loves you
Then he says he's true
And
then he see's another girl
And says 'The Heck With You!"

Just
another guy*
Why does love hurt so bad
Why does it make you cry
When love doesnt go your way
You feel like
you want to die
Why did you do that to me
You dumped me for another girl
Just the thought of you together
Makes
me want to hurl
You only knew her for a month
You've known me for nine
Already you've kissed her
I actually thought
you were mine
Does she even know the real you
The stupid bastard that you are
The only reason you want her
Is
because she will let you get far
Im happy that your gone
Im too good for you
Maybe Ill want you back
When you
learn to get a clue
I thought you liked me
I thought you wouldnt make me cry
Then I figured out
YOUR JUST ANOTHER
GUY!

Pain*
No
one knew the pain I had
They only knew the person I was trying to be
I didn't think I could hurt so bad
Could I make
this go away? maybe
I thought and I thought
But I just couldnt find
Anyway to get
This out of my mind
Then
something gave me an idea
I headed to the room and opened the drawer
I took it out
There was a bang on the door
"Go
away" I screamed
And put it to my head
I pulled the trigger
Then I was dead
Now the pain is gone
I can
live free
I am with God
He is with me

*Near to the door*
*he paused to stand*
*as he took his class
ring*
*off her hand*
*all who were watching*
*did not speak*
*as a silent tear*
*ran down his cheek*
*and
through his mind*
*the memories ran*
*of the moments they walked*
*and ran in the sand hand and hand*
*but now
her eyes were so terribly cold*
*for he would never again*
*have her to hold*
*they watched in silence*
*as he
bent near*
*and whispered the words..*
*"I LOVE YOU" in her ear*
*he touched her face and started to cry*
*as
he put on his ring and wanted to die*
*and just then the wind began to blow*
*as they lowered her casket*
*into
the snow....*
*this is what happens*
*to man alive.....*
*when friends let friends....*
*drink and drive.*

Those poor little
children*
Childrens lives lay in the hands of men
Beaten, bruised until the end
Lives are ruined,
spirits broken
Fear in their eyes, though words not spoken
Children here are full of hate
And surrounded by a
metal gate
They cant get out, even if they tried
But when the do, some of them die
Child labour is at its worst
So
stop it now before their all in a hearse
How much longer must this go on
Before we can get child labour gone?
People
there dont realize
How many children hurt from all their lies
They would be safe, one man said
Instead their beaten,
instead their dead
Freedom is what these children need
They dont need to hurt, or even bleed
But who will stop
their excruciating pain
You and me, after all, were all the same

Perfect Days*
Those
perfect days
We once knew
Have now shredded to peices
And came unglued
The skies have darkend
The
moon has fell
What once was heaven
Now is Hell
Mothers are screaming
For their children's lives
What a horrible
day
A scary surprise
All I can do
Is sit and cry
Did so many families
Have to die?
But the smoke will clear
The
skies turn blue
To those perfect days
We once knew
The dogs are barking
As a child plays
What a wonderful
sound
These perfect days.....

What you do to me*
I know I shouldnt love you
But yet I still cant find
A way to get your voice
Out of my mind
I cant even tell you
How
deeply im in
If you were in the Bible
You'd be the deadly sin
Now matter how hard I try
I cant stop thinking
about you
I really dont know
What im going to do
You told me you loved me
And
then you broke my heart
You fufilled my life beyond its worth
Then ripped it apart
You hurt me and lied to me
And
made me cry
If I dont have you back
I might just die
The only thing I see
When I close my eyes
Is your lovely face
Always a great surprise
My
friends say im crazy
They think I should let go
But I just love you
Way too much, you know
When you see me again
I
may still love you
But untill then
I'll
just dream about you

A
hug*
A
hug can heal a broken heart
Or
say that I love you
A hug can brighten up a day
When
all just seems blue
A
hug can say what words cant
And
kiss the pain away
A
hug can lead you back
When you seemed to have drawn astray
A
hug isnt expensive
You
wont have to pay a dime
Just
open up your arms and give a hug
If
you have the time
A
hug isnt made for just anyone
Its
made for someone who cares
Its
made for when you need someone
To
share with all your prayers
A
hug doesnt need batteries
Or
little special parts
All
it needs is a smile
And
a great big heart
So
when I give you a hug
You know I really care
And you know I REALLY care
When
I hug you like a bear
When
you feel you need a hug
Or
when you feel blue
Just
hug this little teddy bear And Ill be hugging you!

A Man Forgotten*
Sitting on the street
People strolling by
With freezing feet
He starts to cry
His hands start to
shake
His fingers turn blue
Trying to stay awake
Begs for something to chew
Hes getting weak
He lays on the cold cement
He tries to speak
In his cup, one single cent
People pass him by
Too busy to see
The man staring
into the sky
A silent plea
It starts to rain
The crowd goes inside
The man frozen
in pain
Eyes open wide
Three hours he laid
In the freezing cold
There he prayed
For someone to hold
The rain stops
The crowd appears
The mans cup drops
Theres no more tears
There he lay
On that last rainy night
His
hair long and gray
His face cold and white
His one last
breath
Taken with a fight
On the crowded street
A man died that night.

A
Daughter's Love*
I once knew a man
Who needed a friend
His child was afraid
His life would end
This
man was troubled
Some would say
All
he needed
Was someone who would pray
I once saw a man
Drunk, lonely and
cold
He will get better
I was often told
This man was loved
He may not have
known
But through small
things
It was often shown
I once heard about
a man
With a gun to his
head
He sat on his couch
Wishing he were
dead
This man was confused
He needed a guide
The help he needed
Was often denied
I once witnessed
a man
Who got the help
he needed
With the help of
others
This man succeeded
This man was recovering
His
family was proud
Never again he would drink
He solemnly vowed
I now know a man
Who
loves his daughter
Who is this man?
This man is my father
