Living to survive  trying to keep myself alive
Having to always roam in and out of strange foster homes
Looking for two loving hearts of a mom and dad until
That happens  I'll just cry all day and be sad
Won't you bring this child home to our house today
Seen so much pain and suffered so much strife
Won't you take a chance and add me to your life
Reach out your loving hand  let me hold on to you
My dream of having a family only you can make come true
Filled with rising hope inside living to survive
Please let this child alone come to you

Hope is all I have to believe that the sun will rise each morning
So that I can see it
Hope is all I have to believe that the moon will glow bright every night
Hope is all  I have that my love will not fail you
Hope is all I have to believe that my child will come home each night
Happy and smiling like she left this morning
And that street violence will not claim her
Hope is all I have to believe that the rain will not be held back
And fall like it always has and feed my crops with continued life
Hope is all I have that the doctor is wrong when he kicks it away
like a three legged chair and tells me that I have no more time to laugh,
love, or care for you tenderly
or another chance at happiness on another new day

I'll leave the light on for you and my heart and arms will be
Open wide. Turn down the covers and the lights real low
Or maybe we can love by the soft candle's glow
Make the night go by  nice and slow .Please know that inside
I'm waiting here and holding back each screaming sigh

Sometimes, in a loving relationship,there must be two on board
If one wants to jump out of the bat, than pain is the only reward
It takes two , to make the thing work, one can't be slipping around
In the dark,doing dirt, be of a made up mind, to cherish each other
From nine to five, please don't be selfish , just thinking about yourself
Because your once true love, will soon start looking around and reaching
For somebody else, it takes two people, to keep love real and true

I laughed when you said that you were leaving
Did'nt want the tears to wipe my smile away
I knew if this heart of mine started crying would be doing it both night
And day how I hate the the very thought of you leaving for no one
Really likes to loses and if there was a choice given between
Happiness and sadness I guess happiness would be the winner each and every time leaving is always ******* everyone the only token is a void
making everybody it touches so annoyed

Our time just ended and now I see it was just all one big laughing joke
To everyone but me, funny how love ran smoothly than stopped
I feel the whole world is laughing now but not with me
I should throw my hands up and say  goodbye to a rotten affair
My brain says just walk away why should you even care
You played such a leading part up and walked away
Left this man broken and down with a bleeding heart
You know it's difficult to rejoice at any time with a broken heart
And what the feelings had to say
When sorrow in blood has written down your name
Hope that one day love will smile on you again
But as for me, every day will be just the lonely same

Tick tock every living soul on earth is on life's clock
The minutes and hours are quickly dying, much needed time
Is passing away, days disappear, moments and seconds dear to life
Will soon be gone, but tomorrow will give birth to a brand new day
And another dawn

There's no turning back because I love you.Get such pleasure in seeing
That smile never will desire to place someone else above you
There's no turning back and why would  this man want too
Quite simply hooked on the the love we share .
That's from my point of view. There;s no turning back
Because I choose to be madly in love with you

People I heard talk about the miracle love could do to the heart
I would just laugh and walk away.Than you came along
And changed my stubborn mind and ways
Who would have thought that I would love you this way
You became the light to my unseeing eyes
My candle's glowing flame,I can't believe that there is more
Than just a pretend romance and all the blind years thrown away
You've made my life grand and shouting new
Who would have thought that I  would love you this way?

Sometimes, in a loving relationship,there must be two on board
If one wants to jump out of the bat, than pain is the only reward
It takes two , to make the thing work, one can't be slipping around
In the dark,doing dirt, be of a made up mind, to cherish each other
From nine to five, please don't be selfish , just thinking about yourself
Because your once true love, will soon start looking around and reaching
For somebody else, it takes two people, to keep love real and true

We walk around like we own this place
Frowns of hate and disgust get out of my face in PHILADELPHIA
The city of brotherly love I think we really didn't get the message
That we're to spread on earth God's love
No real caring for each other's feelings or well being  as in life
We daily stride wrapped up in the clothes of selfishness on the planet
As chase after the things of pride
We really don't know just where we're going without GOD on our side
Moving fast and impatient with each other and not in gear
Every waking  moment attacked by  bad news and surrendering to fears
Who do we think we are, acting like we own the planet when its quickly slipping away and taking self-respect and dignity
From each other and the weak ones ,are we wiser or any greater
than on any other day?
We've got to stop taking life and love for granted
While both are here, who do we think we are?

We were dancing on the love floor
It was such a fine romance, but as it was getting started
You picked up  someone else
So my heart never had a chance to recover
It was put high upon the shelve
And when I had a moment to look at what happened
You danced away with somebody else

I still see your face, even in my dreams, some things never change
So it seems, it was christmas each day, when you were here with me
Now I'm talking in my sleep,could it be that my wedding ring, on
That left finger,hurt your sense of pride, or else why aren't you here
Now,by my  forever, by my side, tears I can no longer hide,
Sweet memory, now gone, they were the best days, of my life

With love seeking you out
There's no place to hide
It causes folks to laugh or cry
When its really good it will make you sigh
Just watch out because it could happen so true
All I did was wonder how kissing and holding you would be
And yes, it happened suddenly to me

Let us pause,and remember, the people who came into our lives,but
Didn't stay,who left us, with joy or sadness,and went on their solitary
Way, destiny is calling, all of mankind's children to make a difference
Change the world, or sit on down, the clock of time is slowly ticking,
Make your decision now, make up your mind and decide

I confess that it was love from the start
Now that you're gone forever from my life
What do I tell my heart?what do I tell it with each lonely beat in the night? and during the daylight there is just no peace
Tears flood from my eyes when out in the street trying
To hold back each sob from inside this sadness
I can no longer hide.Its been said in life that what will be will be
But why did this terrible thing have to happen to me?

You can't keep the truth from me , maybe you might want to shut out
Its voice, but it will find a way to be free, and it speaks despite the lies
Spilling from your mouth, get to know it , for it will really set its
Owner loose .Truth's cry can be heard through out the earth,to
All those with listening ears and willing spirits

Never felt this way before. I never thought I could.In movies love is
Treated like a fairy tale.But I myself declare it's better than good. My
Head is on straight not walking into walls don't really need a net
To catch me before I fall. There is no way to start my day without thinking
Of you.There's  no one else who could make every longed for dream
Of mine come true.My head isn't soaring out in space. I only need your
Love to finish on time my race. Never felt this way before. It's been a long
Time since I had someone of my own to adore. Because I never felt this
This way before. I never thought I could

Nights in my thoughts, I would see your face and dream you near
But that was so long ago
That's how I know life will go on
The near distance closed between us
And spaces shut ever so tight
Now I know that my life will go on
Whether near or far wherever past love goes
Somehow I believe love will open my heart's door
And let me know that my life will go on
Love can touch at least one good time
And sometimes lasts forever
Never letting your joyful heart go
Now I know that my life will go on
Just believe with me right here
With no doubts or fear
And together this love will carry us on

I am not yet ready,to taste of death, nor smell its foul, and rancid breath
Slowly stripping the very life, from my human bones, yet know inside
That each man, born on this earth, must die alone, i know not the one
Who penned,''It's not the length of the life, but how well it was lived''
Time may not place  or number me, among the immortals, but  i carry
The knowledge within, that in all of my living days, i gave , and sought
Out love, in this crowded space

I remember summers of youth gone by long ago
When time seemed with no end
Pretty girls had such beautiful smiles and welcoming arms
If you were free and the only one meant to be
Butterflies danced on the evening sundown sky
But soon the winter of old age blew youth slowly away
And that my friend is the real and only truth
What ever happened to the many dreams that we had growing inside
Did they blow away like the colored leaves of last fall?
When September rain was coming down?
We kept looking around life's corner hoping to run into younger days
And make them come back
But it seems now that to go living our final days here is all
And everything a man or woman can do
Will we be able to see tomorrow or is today all that we've got
Nobody told us about sorrow waiting ahead
We have to carry  on with broken hearts instead

Lord I know that you hear me praying
So please answer my why, there must be a real good reason
Beyond what my eyes can see, and I want to know the answer
Before I die, I long and need an answer to my question before I bid
This old world a final goodbye, so please let me hear the answer to
From you to my why

It's time now for some more of my tears to start to fall.
Thought I had your good loving as all my own but I had nothing at all
As you're thrilling some one else its slowly killing me. Do right by me
Baby or pack each bag and leave.All I see now is the blues, get back your
Attention on me again its time to choose,sad notes playing in my heart
If tonight you decide to depart there'll be fond memories I won't restart
I'll close the door and seek a new start

The sunrise of your smile
Lights my way
As I fight past the darkness of the world and escaping time
Inside my head- heartbeat thoughts of you live

I love you in the summer or when winter winds call
Walking on city streets or even riding on two camels
Far across desert golden sands
Your love is my mentor and mine is yours
Loving each other in the future would be a great eternal reward
I love your presence if in London or the very next room
And if duty calls you away
My love will remain steadfast until  your returning day

I tell the sun to stay in place on a cloudless day
I'm so cool and classy movie stars copy my style and ways
Guess that anyone can say what makes me think this way
It's because of my love. I'm talking about my one and only true love
I'm so rich BILL GATES envies me. I can fly faster than the human eye
Could even see. Guess that anyone  my love makes me feel this way
Yes, its because of my love. Wish you could me her walking and
Talking my love.

People daily from death are falling when life is steady calling
Mother where is your child? Is she in the street unprotected
And running wild?If you get to heaven before I do
Tell my Daddy and Mama that my earthly love down here
For them was true that I make it safely through each day because
They taught me how to pray I see people struggling hard to make it
Each and every day.They want things to get better and find a better way
We need to make a shift while there is yet time
Free the the worries and troubles from each mind
While spreading around some joy
We need to give each other some natural ease
And each day while living down here seek out peace

I admit that I'm losing my heart and mind over you
There is blindness now it came in like a storm with no warning
The only shelter is being close to you
There are times when men put up a front and try to act brave it's true
But I openly tell the whole world I'm losing my heart and mind
Over you, there is nothing more for me to do
But tell every body who will listen
I'm losing my heart and mind over you

On the last day of November rain from the sky fell down on me
Soft as your tender touch just as refreshing
I'm grateful for the little and big things that you do
Did you ever notice the delight my eyes take when you walk into the Room. I want to love in to the next two centuries
So glad you want to spend that time with me
When  other people's dreams are tired and done
I still want you as the only one
To share the laughter and the pain
