You can take a flight
You can ride a rail
You can catch a cab
That you just hailed

You can sail a boat
Across the seven seas
All that I want
Is you here by me

Fly a rocket ship*
Through the Milky Way
Beam yourself up
On a futuristic day

If you ride a bike
Could you pedal fast
To have you here
Is all I ask

A hot air balloon
Might be to slow
But still works for me
If it's reliable

Guess what I'm saying
Doesn't matter how you choose
So long as the final destination
*Is me and you

Do you think that God doesn't understand
What you go through
When it's in His hands

He has known you in your mothers womb
Yes He knows what
You are going through

You can come to Him with your heartache
He will pick you up
As the pieces break

So what it is you are going through
Is no surprise
To the God of Truth

Because what it is you are going through
When it's all said and done
Only strengthens you

The Golden Rule

When someone shows a weakness
That's when you know to pounce
Take from them what they have
No worries for someone else

If you don't take it, someone will
That's what you tell yourself
In order to move ahead in life
You must leave your feelings out

Pull the trigger and smile at them
Look straight into their eyes
Tell them that there is no risk
Don't worry that it's a lie

If they loose it all, well you got yours
So just do what you must do
It's not your fault that they're not smart
Or that they put their trust in you

It seems so easy to take from them
But you're really taking from yourself
There may come a time when you're in need
And the cat becomes the mouse

Just Give them what they need the most
And dont take what is not yours
Do what's right, like your mother said
And you will get that big reward

Offer to help if they're in need
And lend them a hand or two
For what you do unto others you will see
Others will do unto you

Carl Joseph Roberts

Colors In Between

To change the way a person thinks
We must show them something new
Let them see a different side
A different point of view

The feelings that they have inside
Become different over time
If we allow for new beginnings
And leave the past behind

One by one we can change a view
And help to change a life
Show the world is built on love
And not just black and white

We cannot judge a person
By the color of their skin
We must see the colors in between
And just help our fellow man
