Take a look around you
And tell me what you see
Another day of turmoil
Or a day to set you free

Take a look around you
At what this earth has got to give
At what it has to offer
So that you and I can live

Take a look around you
And decide which path to choose
Only you can make the choice
If you win or if you lose

Take a look around you
At this green and pleasant land
But will it still be here for our kids
When we are not around

Take a look around you
At the destruction man can cause
When he subjects our fair lands
To industrial applause

Take a look around you
And think what you could achieve
If you truly cared for this fair land
If you had the courage to believe

Take a look around you
Let's save what we've got left
Of a land once so full of beauty
**Don't condemn this land to death

I had more love for the
reflection of your shadow,
than you had ever had
for the entirety of my soul

last night's weary traveler
i was washing the car
under the blue skies..

suddenly the rains came
flooding my eyes!

below the golden flame
my hands were wiping metal frame
washing tyre's rolling pains
under the blue skies..

suddenly the rains came
flooding my eyes!

trickling sweats licked my skin
the car was turning shining clean
under the blue skies..

suddenly the rains came
flooding my eyes!

didn't know why couldn't name
sky was blue sun golden flame
smoked the glass deep sighs..

when suddenly filled the rains
fell noiseless from eyes!

Seconds feel like minutes
Minutes just like days
Night the hardest time of day
As 4am knows all my secrets

I envy those who sleep easy
Their brains must be that much clearer, less muddled
So that those thoughts that haunt me late at night
Are kept well away from their own night's rest

Sleep such a luxury
One I can not afford
As dawn comes all the closer
No second of sleep to count

All I have to show for this night
Are worries resting deep, deep in my head

Words of encouragement are like a cool drink on a hot day
     Words of encouragement can chase the blues away
     Words of encouragement are like a warm sweater on a chilly
      May day
     Words of encouragement is something most of us seek
      Words of encouragement is something too few people speak
       Words are a powerful tool they can be used to build people up
        Why not spread words of encouragement today?
