i was sitting in my garden on my little mat
when suddenly from no where there popped a little rat
he run across the plants then underneath a bush
running very quickley he was in a rush
he had a big long tail long and very thin
routing through the ******* sifting through the bin
he had big long whiskers and he could twitch his nose
with tiny little feet and tiny little toes
when he finished routing he went to rest his head
to his little home underneath the shed.

it goes up but dont come down
it gives you lines when you frown
it makes you grey and thin on top
wrinkles come but they dont stop
it slows you down as time goes bye
as your skin begins to dry
we all do this it has to be
and in the mirror we can see
the answers here within the rhyme
its all to do with length of time

on the banks of the river i laid to rest my head
watching the water on the river bed
rolling down the stream as gentle as can be
it was very tranquil and rolling oh so free.
it was very peaceful and oh so very calm
it made me feel so safe and well away from harm.

sitting on riverbank thats the place to be
fishing rod in hand feeling very free
looking at the water waiting for a bite
sun up in the sky shining nice and bright
you can feel the freedom scattered all around
very calm and peaceful you cant hear a sound
sitting there for hours relaxed as you can be
hoping for a fish to take home for your tea
then when the day is over as the sun begins to set
you think about your day and one you wont forget

i went down to the river to watch the water flow
rolling there so peaceful rolling nice and slow
watched it as rolled down in to the stream
then i closed my eyes and i began to dream
i dreamed of a waterfall as clear as can be
in a land of beauty where i felt so free
i wandered into pastures with valleys oh so green
where everything was tranquil and made me feel serene
there was lots of mountains reaching to the sky
with lots of little bluebirds flying near by
this was just dream a vision that i saw
but i will dream again so i can go again once more

i was my garden tending to the plants
when i saw robin and he began to dance
dancing in a tree as happy as can be
i moved a little closer so that i could see
he was very lovely with his bright red breast
dancing on a branch showing off his chest
he seemed very happy as happy as can be
dancing there so merrily in his little tree
when he finished dancing he decided he would fly
i stood and wave my hand as i said goodbye.

there was a little robin a lovely chap was he
sat there in my garden in my willow tree
with a big red breast as bright as bright can be
singing such a lovely song espcially for me
he was very beautiful and made me feel so free
this lovely little robin in my willow tree.

i was looking out my window at my willow treethere i saw a robin looking back at meshowing of his feathers and his bright red chestsat there in the tree right next to his nesthe began to sing a his favourite lullabyvery soft and mellow it almost made me crywhen hed finished singing i was happy as can bethat the little robin had sang his song to me

i went to a rodeo in the usawhere i saw a sign saying rodeo here to dayi put my stetson hat on so i looked the partthen  sat down and watched as it began to startthere were lot of cowboys chasing round the steerspeople they were clapping send out there cheersthen came a cowboy riding his big white horsedoing lots of tricks while riding round the courseit was just a amazing  i really enjoyed the showand wont forget my day at the rodeo

there was a little rabbit he loved the rodeo
oneday he decided he would have a go
he put on his stetson on to shade from the sun
then on to the rodeo to go and have some fun
he mounted on his horse and put a number on his back
trying rope a steed while riding round the track
people they were cheering and loved his little show
then into air his stetson he did throw
he was really happy that he had pleased the crowd
then rode in to the sunset feeling very proud

love is like a roller coaster it takes you for ride
up and down emotions go swaying side to side
leads you down a track going very fast
never ending circles quickly going past
up and down it goes moving too and fro
when your ride will end you really just dont know

i saw a little crab walking on the sand he was with another holding hand in hand underneath the moon way up high above they stopped and had a kiss i think they were in love. as they strolled again further on the shore there they stopped again and had a kiss once more it was very funny and i began to smile watching what i saw that night was really all worth while

walking in the moonlight holding hand in hand walking on the beach kicking up the sand gazing at the moonlight way up  high above what a night for romance and such a night for love

i wish i was a rover roaming every place
roaming every country even outer space
roving every port and visit sites to see
a proper little gypsy roaming oh so free
roam around the galaxy way beyond the stars
roving round the planet and take a look at mars
i could be so happy and never ever blue
until then i hope that wishes do come true

trucking down the highway i turned  on my cb then a mellow voice said youll be safe with me
i dont know who it was id never heard that voice before so i said goodbye and carried on once more
further down the road i was driving in to snow then i  skidded of the road with
just two miles to go. everything was hazy  and i couldnt see then i heard  a voice again saying now your safe with me
now i was in heaven  now my life was free now i know what he meant by youll be safe with me.

i sailed away on sea of blue
i travelled around to places new
shore to shore as i sailed away
to different places every day
desert islands with golden sand
has i travelled across the land
palms were blowing in the breeze
gently blowing in the trees
the skies were clear and oh so blue
a paradise a dream come true
it made me happy it made me glad
but this was just a dream i had

santa came one christmas night
down a chimney far to tight
he got stuck with his great big sack
halfway down with no way back
he was jammed good and tight
on this snowy christmas night
santa was in such distress
black as soot and such a mess
the firemen came and set him free
then he put the presents beneath the tree
then of he went again once more
next time he came he used the door.

we must save the seals from there life so dull
people wielding sticks as the seals they cull
killing all the seals wether big or small
we must get together to try and save them all
give them some protection and stop them from ****
let them all be free again to roam around at will
give them back there freedom the way that it should be
let them live in peace and no killing  will there be

i dreamed i was in jeruselem in the days of old
and listened to stories of a saviour that was told
he laid in a stable in a manger for a bed
he was to save the world or so the story read
a an infant in a cradle so gentle and so mild
the saviour of the world who was an holy child
he suffered lots of pain so we could be free
put upon a cross for all the world to see
but he is still with us and he will always be
the saviour in my dream was the one who set us free.

say goodbye to alex a snooker star was he
around the snooker table he would quickly flee
the people called him hurricane and love to watch him play
sat there in suspense as the ***** were put away
flying round the table faster then the light
such an entertainer who filled us with delight
now is home is heaven and his suffering is free
the man they called the hurricane will go down history

say it from the heart thats all you have to do

dont take drugs to make you calm by sticking needles in your arm
dont sit there waiting your a fix as the drugs begin to mix.
think of those you leave behind  when your the one thats been unkind.
dont   sit there in despair think of those that really care.
once you start  its a deadly track  say no to drugs and get life back.

there was a spooky mansion with spooky little ghost with a spooky little man who was to be the host the mansion it was scary and very dark inside with  lots of cold dark places  so the ghost could hide. there was a dark old man who sat in candle light then stand up by the window in middle of the night he would frighten people. so they would go away then climb in to a coffin where he would sleep all day.

there was a scottish mouse he wore tartan suit
he loved to play a tune on his little flute
he wandered through the glen and played a little tune
happily he wandered underneath the moon
he was very happy as happy as can be
strolling as he goes to his melody
he liked to play for hours until the break of day
then he would go to sleep and put his flute away.

a figure of an angel there in front of me

when im watching silouttes it makes me feel so free.
