Hope will spring from unlikely places,
It will look you in the eye with unlikely faces,
Sometimes it show up as a king, maybe aces,
Sometimes it will beat your heart with maces,
Without hope, you have all these empty spaces,
With it, you have so many graces,
It always leaves good little traces,
But it will always spring from unlikely places.

I**             feel as if I could Fly!
Am        I the only one?
Not        to brag, but I feel so glad!
Strong   is my middle name.

Look at that girl,
The one with the sad brown eyes,
Look at that girl,
Don't listen to her cries.

She is not strong,
but getting there is hard,
She won't stay long,
She just came to say goodbye.

Now look to the future,
and tell me, what do you see?
Look to the past,
Do you see she was me?

Look at that girl,
The one with the hair as long as a mile,
Look at her now,
I think she'll stay awhile.

I smell dew in the air
yet the sun is setting
I see green of new grass
though first snow has fallen
I feel the sharp chill in the air
but the sun still shines
it is a strange wold
we live in
today.

Slobbering slim rolls off its mouth
Creepy crawlies start marching south
Evil eyes and jiggly jowls,
Sinister laughs and winning howls
A flash of teeth,
From underneath
A Throaty growl
You sit, try not to yowl
The bed will hide its enormous bulk
Evil will never sulk
A shattering cry pierces the night
Now it’s time to run in fright

How does technology make the world a better place?
I’ll tell you, if you can keep up pace.
At first we were awed by a simple light,
Then a space shuttle taking off into the night.
We work and work, night and day,
Looking, looking for another way.
We look at places from across the world,
With a peek into a book, filled with words.
Some people think “ What shall I make today?”
While others say “ Should I stand here or lay?

People, people all around
Not a single one makes a sound.
People, people gather here
So you may be not far, but near.
People, people listen up
We’ve got everything and a cup.
People, people do not fear
For now, even they are here.
