Kindness goes a long long way
it helps to brighten someone's day
when your ear gets talked off by a friend
it means that they need help to mend
when it's always about them and never you
and sometimes they don't have a clue
listen and smile when you are there
and then go off and be somewhere
just let it go and shake it out
don't dwell on what it was all about
limit time with ******* souls
and try to focus on your goals
but try not to write them off for good
if you can help them, then you should
just take the time in between
to renew yourself out in the green
God said help the least of these
if you can't stand them, get on your knees
and someday when their ****'s together
and they've battled all that stormy weather
maybe it was your patience and care
when they were on a path going nowhere
you never know the effect you make
when you give instead of take

It's all about money and why do we care
little strip of paper, man with white hair
we struggle and cry like its all that we need
it causes pain and we work till we bleed
over paper and coin marriages break
makes people greedy, they take and they take
if you have none, some people won't date you
if you have too much then people will hate you
we put all of our effort into getting this stuff
but even with plenty it's never enough
we want it so people will like us a lot
they don't actually like us, just want what we got
so people will like them better instead
but they'll just want it as soon as you're dead
there's a secret that I am going to tell you
if you just like people, then they'll like you too
if you do what you want, with all of your heart
and put others first, right from the start
the money will magically fall in your lap
like a never ending money tree tap
the secret to more money is to care less
if you don't "love" money then there is no stress
if you're obsessed with a person then they will not stay
same goes for your money, you just chase it away
the most rewarding way you can get rich
is just do your best, and don't be a *****

crashing down a building on fire
running screaming mud soaked mire
the blood in the streets trickled like rain
girl in the street face twisted in pain
streaks run from black soot on her face
takes her hand tries to help her keep pace
his arm is missing from the elbow down
she stumbles on somebody's leg on the ground
his single hand holds her and lifts her along
where did everything start to go wrong?
booms cause the rubble cascading about
she watches his lips as he starts to shout
nodding along though she can't hear a thing
she buckles in pain at another sharp sting
gasping for air her lungs filling with smoke
he wraps her up in his tattered green cloak
he touches her face as he looks in her eyes
she's afraid that he is saying goodbye
she lifts up her hand and sees all the blood
suddenly fear comes at her like a flood
but the she looks in his eyes and there a strong gleam
he won't leave her, because they are a team
so they wrap their arms round and move ahead
there's no stopping them, not until they are dead
he picks up a sword and starts hacking away
he and his love, well they are here to stay
she throws a hatchet as hard as she can
killing a monster disguised as a man
they stumble and fight till they're finally free
and they lay down and gasp at the base of a tree
the moonlight is shining like nothing's amiss
the young man rolls over and plants a strong kiss
he takes her hand as he lays down by her side
if he'd met her before, he'd have made her his bride
now he could feel that her hand's growing cold
he tried not to imagine their life, growing old
her beautiful face, eyes stared up at the sky
he knew from the start that she was doomed to die
for beauty and innocence don't belong in this land
he'd set out to save her yes that was his plan
he hadn't even gotten to know her sweet name
she'd been such a badass in life's cruel little game
his tears streamed down as his breath left his chest
and then he gave in to that peaceful death rest

Running so fast and chasing so hard
trying to see if we can play the right card
he's just so perfect, everything I want
at night it's my very heart that he haunts

dazzling her, buying her presents and gifts
trying to break down her walls and mend rifts
if she will just talk to me give me some time
I know that I can make her mine all mine

why can't they just love us why can't they just see
who I am inside and just love you and me
if they would just give us the time of their day
then we know that we could show them the way

the way to true love and what all that includes
they could just feel the love we exude
we would make them feel safe with our warm embrace
and wipe away all their fears leaving no trace

what we are ignoring is we're working for love
when really love is a gift from above
and what we don't see is they work for it too
but they don't have to work for it from you

we never want what is freely given
because we don't trust that we're really forgiven
we feel guilt and shame and want to make amends
so we punish ourselves and follow these trends

so when you are loving and open in heart
be prepared to be torn up and broken apart
this world is unkind when you love from the core
don't you know that's what they killed Jesus for

but if you never give up and you truly believe
then God always has something up his sleeve
and He can turn fear and despair into hope
He will GIVE you love so you don't have to mope

the moral of this little story you see
you don't have to work for love, just let it be
go be yourself and do something you love
God will open His arms and pour gifts from above

So this one time I sat down to eat my salad
and she plopped into a chair to share her life's ballad
Of drunken crazies and dumb little nights
and of all sorts of berserk and ridiculous plights

Dancing on a table, just a little unstable
whoop! there's that white girl wasted label
Get up it's all right and dance into the night
got that guy's number in spite of her plight

she jumped in a cab didn't know where to go
had a suit case and just went with the flow
landing on crutches again and again
you have to play hard if you want to win

she met this musician, Aerosmith something
he was sitting on a beach wearing pirate bling
she walked up and said, "man I like what you're wearing."
had no clue about all of the people just staring

she sauntered through life on a breeze and a cloud
and only got scared when things were really loud
never a care it just falls into place
I wish I could remember that girl's pretty face

so this one time she told me things got really weird
but don't worry about it, "my name was cleared."
but she sang while in jail to cops in blue caps
and when she came out of her cell there were claps

now she turned with a grin and twinkle in her eye
and gave me advice as she bid me goodbye
"a ship in a harbor is boring as hell
crazy makes history, so go make it well"
