Stairway to heaven
Ahmad Cox Dec 2011
The stairway to heaven
Is not that far away
The stairway to heaven
Is already inside
You just have to know where to look
It leads from our hearts
And extends out to others
And into heaven
As we pour out love
Our hearts are connected
Connected by love
Connected by grief
Connected by pain
Connected to God
And heaven above

Facing yourself
Ahmad Cox Dec 2011
Facing yourself can be hard sometimes.
It can be hard to really look at yourself
And truly be honest about what you see
There are a lot of things about ourselves
That we would rather not admit
And that we would rather not face
We can spend our whole lives hiding from ourselves
And trying to hide parts of ourselves
That are laying inside
Let yourself out
Let yourself go
And face yourself
And face what you see in the mirror
You can't be afraid of your own shadow
You have to embrace yourself
Every part of yourself
And embrace yourself
As the wonderful
Beautiful
Yet confused
And hurt
And pained person you are
Face yourself
Don't be afraid
To truly look inside
You might just like what you see

The world as I see it
Ahmad Cox Dec 2011
The world as I see it is a wonderful place
Plenty of chances to learn
Plenty of chances to live
Such wonderful diversity and beauty
That we have to view
It's a wonderful place
If we allow it to be
We just need to think
About the this wonderful world
And how much this wonderful world of ours
Really is all we got
And if we take care of this world
We will be a lot better off
But this world is still wonderful
A majesty to behold
We just have to have a little more  reverence
For our lives
And for this wonderful world we call home

Rays of light
Ahmad Cox Nov 2011
Rays of light
Suspended in space
Rays of light that float through time
These rays of light are in our hearts
Connecting us through time and space
We are all rays of light
Propagating through space
Interacting with each other
In different ways
Interacting with each other
So that we create this chaotic mess
That somehow has a beautiful order
And when you step back and look at it all
You start to realize just how beautiful
Our rays of light really are

Starlight
Ahmad Cox Nov 2011
Starlight falls on me
Filling me with hope
Burning ever bright
Eternally burning
Guiding our way through the night
They shine like embers
To light the way
Through the darkest night
They guide us
Until day comes
To brighten our hearts
Ushering a new dawn
A new day
A new chance for us to start again

A world without war
Ahmad Cox Nov 2011
I want people to know
That we don't have to fight each other
We don't have to fight ourselves
That we don't have to suffer
That it's possible for us all to live in peace
We would rather justify war
It seems like it's really hard for people
To think of what life would be like
If we weren't constantly at war
Or fighting
Or hating
Or somehow condemning someone else
Well it's those people who are causing the problems
It's those people that need to be dealt with
If it weren't for those people over there
There wouldn't be any problems to begin with
Do you see those people over there
What right do they have to be here
Taking up our space
Taking up our land
That's for us and us alone
We have to get them before they get us
We have to keep ourselves constantly ready
Constantly waiting
For someone to attack
To destroy our way of life
To upset the status quo
That we have established today
I think we need to be willing
To change the status quo sometimes
Because the status quo as it is
Is just not working
As long as we continue to feel hate
And we feel like we need to be at war
And we need to hurt other people
To propagate the status quo
We will never be able to live in peace
And know what it means
To live in a world without war

What's inside
Ahmad Cox Nov 2011
In the inside of us
There is the true us
The part of us that knows who we are
There is this part of us
That knows what it means to be whole
That knows what it means to be connected
To everyone and everything
There is this part of us that doubts
There is this part of that forgets who we are
Just how beautiful
Just how wonderful
Just how magnificent
Every single one of us is on this planet
We let the world tell us that we are less then who we really are
We have this part of ourselves that tells us we aren't worth it
That we should just give up
That we aren't worth fighting for
That it might be easier if we stopped fighting
If we gave in
If we gave up yourself
If you gave up to fit in
So that you wouldn't have to feel afraid or alone
For feeling different
For feeling like the outcast
But there is always that part of us that knows
Even if the world might not see
And even if you might not see yourself
There is always that part of you
Just waiting to break out and be free
You just have to accept it
And once you can accept it
And see it for what it is
You can start to connect with yourself again
And you can start to help others
To find that truth as well

The Wall
Ahmad Cox Nov 2011
There is a wall inside of all of us
That keeps us safe
There is a wall that separates us all
From each other and the truth
We believe that we are all separate
That we have to hide ourselves
That there are certain things that we
Just shouldn't let other people know
That there are some thoughts
Some ideas
That we would rather keep secret
From everyone else
We can spend our whole lives lying
Putting up this wall between you
And putting it between everyone else
And never really letting anyone in
And always keeping everyone out
But sometimes you have to be willing to tear down your wall
And let people in
And stop hiding from yourself
And stop hiding from other people
And if you start to open up your heart
Even if you might feel damaged
Or even feel like people might not like what you have to say
I think you will be surprised
That if you share your heart with someone else
And you share your heart with other people as well
You will find that you are much more connected
Then you ever thought possible

Light and Dark
Ahmad Cox Nov 2011
There is  light
There is darkness
Everything exists as duality
Just as there are those who will stand up to the oppressors
There are those who are oppressors
We all have the choice to accept the darkness and the light inside of us
We can't deny one part of ourselves without denying the other
We all have the ability to do wonderful things
To be that hero for someone in need
To be that person to stand up for those
Who don't have a voice for themselves
We all have the ability to spread peace
And to spread love
And to spread light wherever we go
But we also have this darkness inside of us
These tendencies that make us wonder
If humanity is really humane at all
There are wars
There is genocide
There is hatred
And even people killed in the name of religion
It can become easy to get caught
Stuck between the darkness and the light that is inside of us
It can become like a never ending battle
That rages and wars inside of us
But we must be willing to accept both parts of ourselves
To see the light as well as the dark
To be able to truly move forward
And to truly be whole
Because if we continue to fight ourselves
Not allowing ourselves to reach the light
That tells us which way is right
And which way is wrong
But at the same time being afraid of our own shadow
And fearing any negative thoughts
Or any negative influences that might come our way
We will be trapped in ourselves
Constantly fighting between the light and the dark
And not accepting the duality in us all

Dreams
Ahmad Cox Oct 2011
Dreams can sometimes lead us astray
If we are not careful
It can be easy sometimes
To get so stuck in our dreams
And in our ideals
That we can get lost in them
And not see what is truly going on around us
Sometimes we can become so stubborn about our dreams
That we can chase away and alienate the people around us
We need to be willing to chase our dreams
But always make sure to do it for the right reasons
And always be willing
To change your dreams and your visions
As time goes by

Home
Ahmad Cox Jul 2011
These people here today
They need a place to stay
They have nowhere to go
Nowhere to call their home
And so we must pray
That they will find a way
Back home
Back home
They'll find a way back home
Back home
Back home
A place where they can be
Back home
Back home
A place where they can be
Free
Free
Free
I know they cant find a home
And so they'll always roam
Away from where you are
They'll roam ever far
So that's why we must pray
That they will find a way
Back home
Back home
They'll find their way back home
Back home
Back home
A place where they can be
Back home
Back home
A place where they can be
Free
Free
Free
There's a sun in the sky
There's a moon up above
And yet we all find ways
To deny God's love
Moving ever far
Moving ever away
From our home in the sky
With this home filled with love
So we must be willing to
Find our way back home
Because if we don't
We will stay alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
We must find a way
For our hearts to stay
So that they will never roam
And we can find a home
Back home
Back home
We'll find a way back home
Back home
Back home
A place where we can be
Back home
Back home
A place where we can be
Free
Free
Free
Free

You Are Real
Ahmad Cox Jul 2011
You are the mountains
You are the sea
You are the one
Who is there for me always
You are my strength
You give me love
You heal my heart
Whenever I am sad
And I know that you are in my heart
You are in my heart to stay
And because of this
And so much more
I can gladly proclaim
You are real
You are real lord
You are real
You are real lord
And I'll gladly proclaim
You shaped the earth
You shaped the stars
You shaped my soul
And everything within
You shaped the sky
With loving care
So that we live
And may know that you are there
And I know that you are my in my heart
You are in my heart to stay
And because of this
And so much more
I can gladly proclaim
You are real
You are real lord

You are real
And I will gladly proclaim
This is a song of mine that I have wrote, and I am going to try and see if I can start posting some more of my originals

The Throne Room
Ahmad Cox Nov 2010
Your throne room glistens
I sit and listen
I can feel you calling to me
You pull me to you
I can not resist
I feel you
Breathe you
So effortlesly
I can feel you inside of me
Touching me
We become one
An act of love or an act of insanity
One may never know
But I do know that since you touched
I have never been the same

Dance
Ahmad Cox Nov 2010
Dance for your Mother
Dance for your Father
Dance for the universe
Dance for the son
The universe is singing as we dance along
Our Mother is dancing, she dances in the sun
So dance when you wanna, dance when you feel
Cause the love in your heart is the only thing thats real
Everything in the universe has its own song
If we learn to listen we can sing along
The forest, the ocean, the moon, the stars,
Everything sings for the glory of god
God is the bass, God is the beat
So when you hear God's rythm tap your feet
Whirl around and tap your feet
Listen to that crazy god beat
God breathed the song into our hearts
And breathed the universe into existence
His words are in every atom, every particle that ever existed
And written in his song is his great love for all of his creation
Its written in the Mother, Its written in the Son, Its written in the Father inside everyone
The three major notes and we are the drums
We are the crazy chaos that pulls it all together
We are the x factor that ties it in place
Even as mad as things might seem
We have to keep dancing to the beat of the drum
We have to keep dancing until we are one
Our feet feel the rythm
Our souls feel the beat
Lets dance tonight, lets dance in the street
The universe is calling, it calls to everyone
It sings to our Mother who dances in the sun
If you want to dance let God show you how
Its not so hard once you get the beat
Let God take the lead
He'll take you by the hand and he will lead you to the promised land
He will take you home in his loving arms
He'll take you away where there is no harm
Dance away your tears
Dance away your sorrows
Dance away for a better tomorrow
We need the dancers to bring in the light
We need the dancers in the final night
So embrace your inner dancer and let it all out
Embrace that inner spirit let it out like a spout
Now that you've got it that is the end
Remember to always keep dancing till the end
No matter what people might say
Dance until the very last day
Ahmad ***
