Misconceptions

We live in a world of misconceptions,

Thanks to our lack of communication,

We wander about like on a foggy day,

As the demons of Misunderstanding come out to play.

They cover our eyes and climb in our ears,

They feed us their lies and toast to our tears,

And we welcome them as dear old friends,

I promise you, this is how the world shall meet its end.\

We think that we know everything,

Because we believe anything we hear,

And we'll believe our enemies,

Before we believe those we should hold dear.

< It was a foggy day. I was tired. My friends are tired. And who isn't feeling down right now? >

Tell Me When

Tell me when I hurt you,

And when I've crossed the line,

Tell me when I'm messing up,

And 'go away' when it is time.

Tell me when you're angry,

When you're happy,

When you're sad.

Tell me when you're just confused,

Or if you're feeling bad.

Tell me when I'm kind to you,

And when I could go just a little farther,

Tell me when I'm doing well,

And when you want me there.

Tell me when you're angry,

When you're happy,

When you're sad.

Tell me when you know just what,

And when you're feeling good.

Tell me when you're ready,

When you think it's time to go,

And if I ask a question,

Tell me when you do not know.

Tell me when the mirror tells you something you don't feel,

And tell me when the whole wide world,

Feels just a bit unreal.

Tell me when there's something that you really want so,

Or tell me when there's nothing just to pass the time of day.

< I'm considering doing a little editing on this, but it was a spur of the minute thing, and it's what I thought of at the time... >

Sacreligious Trash

I'm not sacreligious trash,

But I'm not a Saint,

I'm just a sinner,

And one who wants to learn to forgive,

And to be forgiven,

Before it's too late.

I don't know why everyone,

Thinks something is wrong,

Why they think I need company,

]I just want a quiet place,

Where I can write my songs,

And be alone with me being me.

I never asked for friendship,

Or for fame or help or gold,

I only want to be a child,

Who brings smiled to the old,

And sing my silly songs,

As if I'm never growing up,

And to teach all the other children,

Never, ever to give up.

When things look way too hard,

When you don't think you'll make it though,

Just sing and sing and sing,

And sing away the blues.

When you find that special shooting star,

Your very own dream come true,

Grab hold of it and let no one,

Take your chance away.

Hold on to it,

Close your eyes,

Sing and Dream and Pray,

And let God be the one who ordains for you,

Your path, your road, your way.

I know it's hard for awhile,

There are butterflies in your stomach,

Your fingers turn to butter,

Your brain begins to buzz,

But don't let your heart turn to stone.

< I wrote this after some kid at church called me sacreligious trash. I didn't find it as funny as the other people I told. Nuff said. >

Baby Love

Refrain:

Baby love,

Maybe love,

Wasn't meant for one so samll,

But, baby love,

Maybe love,

Could have caught you after all.

I loved you before you were born,

Now you're born I love you more,

As you lay in my lap,

As I sing you to sleep,

I can't help but wonder,

Baby love.

Refrain

You're noisy for one so small,

But I love you just the same,

I'll love you when you're big;

I know babies don't stay,

Little love.

Refrain.

Oh, my baby when I'm sad,

You laugh and make me happy,

And when you start to cry,

Oh, then how you scare me,

Cradle love!

Refrain.

< This is for all the babies in my life. :) I'm not exactly sure how or why I thought of it, but now that I think of it, I think it is a bit like my own version of Baby Mine, one of my favorite Disney songs. :) >

Oh, Friend!

You said you'd never change,

I don't want to disagree,

Yet it's harder ev'ry time you ask,

What's been bothering me?

Oh, friend, how I miss you!

Don't you remember the crazy things we used to do?

The laughing and crying and dancing in the rain?

But I'll keep the secret; hurting you won't make things the same,

Oh, friend!

I wrote down all the words,

For the song you wrote with me,

But although you wrote the perfect tune,

It's left your memory.

Oh, friend, how I miss you!

Don't you remember the crazy things we used to do?

The laughing and crying and dancing in the rain?

But I'll keep the secret; hurting you won't make things the same,

Oh, friend!

Just Lovin' You

Girl: I knew when I met you that it was too late,

Boy: So we turned out the lights and snuck through the gate,

We kissed and we laughed and I cried with you,

Girl: We muse of done all those things we weren't s'posed to,

Both: But I must of done somethin' right,

Yeah, I must of done somethin' right,

Just lovin' you.

Boy: We ain't got much money, we ain't got much time,

Girl: We've just got four kids and a bottle of wine,

But we're still awfully in love so we do what we can,

Boy: And I pay most of the bills workin' for your old man,

Both: So I must of done somethin' right,

Yeah, I must of done somethin' right,

Just lovin' you.

Girl: The kids grow so fast, they're all learnin' to read,

Boy: An' askin' for money that they say they need,

But the things they do wrong's just what we did back then,

Girl: So it's simply impossible to stay mad with them,

Both: Guess I must of done somethin' right,

Yeah, I must of done somethin' right,

Just lovin' them.

Boy: One kid's in college, an' buyin' a car,

Girl: He's in love with some girl he met in a chocolate bar,

They were both feeling tired and drinking their Joe,

Boy: I don't know if we're ready to let the boy go,

Both: But I must of done somethin' right,

Yeah, I must of done something right,

Just lovin' him.

Girl: He got a call that she wasn't well,

Boy: So he called us up, and he said, "Hell-

o, mum and dad, I can't come down this weekend,

Girl: Ruth's in the hospital, and it might be the end,

Both: I just hope I can do somethin' right,

Yeah, I hope I can do somethin' right,

Just lovin' her.

< This was going to be just notes for a song, but it turned into a full blown song nothing like my original idea. The end is a little depressing, and the first stanza is a bit questionable, but for some reason I like it anyway. It's kind of fun. Any thoughts of yours? >

Nothing Beautiful Refrain

Nothing beautiful,

No, nothing beautiful,

Was made to last forever,

They just weren't built that strong.

So save me,

Yeah, save me the last one.

< This is a refrain I wrote... 

Well, I think it sounds like refrain anyway, but I never actual thought of a complete song to go with it. :) 

I don't feel like it, either, so you can send me your own ideas. :) >

There Were So Many Things...

There were so many things I didn't know,

Until I met you,

There's still so many things I don't understand,

But I will trust you,

And when you need me,

I will come through for you, and hold your hand.

Because I know that you are a person,

And every person deserves to be loved,

And every person needs someone to trust.

So I will trust you,

And I will come through,

Yes, I will trust you,

With love that is true.

< :P 

I don't like this one quite so much.

What do YOU think?...>

But When I Saw You

People told me all about yout and I didn't stop to think,

You were just another person and I didn't really care.

I thought I knew just what those people meant,

And that I'd recognize you the minute that you appeared.

Refrain:

But when I saw you,

I didn't just fall in love,

But when I saw you,

I knew there was no other way.

Oh, when I saw you,

It wasn't only love,

Oh, when I saw you,

There was no one else,

Nothing else,

No other way for me.

No one else seemed to notice the room was turning upside down,

But that moment I just knew that your face was starting to glow.

All my friends laughed at my bewilderment,

Only you weren't laughing at me, and I knew you had to know.

Refrain

It seems so long ago that you and I loved one another,

And I guess that it makes sense; childhood fancies come and they go.

And yet, though you seem to have forgotten,

I still find it hard to let that one little memory go.

Refrain.

< Sorry, but I just had to write something making fun of love at first sight. Although, now it doesn't seem to make fun of it so much; it just sounds like another pretty love song.:/

Oh, well, even I have to admit love songs are fun to sing. :)

And this is one of the songs I started trying to put the same number of syllables in each corresponding line per stanza or whatever the phrase is supposed to be. :P :) >

Oh, World

Oh, World, what are you coming to?

Oh, world, what have we made of you?

Can we still fix it,  world?

Can we still change, oh world?

Will we grow older, and wiser, oh world?

Oh, world, what have we left for our children?

Oh, world, you were such a pure maiden!

Is there anything that we can do?

Oh, world,

Oh, world,

Can we still make it through you, oh world?

Oh, world, what are you coming to?

Oh, world, what have we made of you?

What have we done to you, oh world?

Is there still a hcnace, world?

Is there yet a way, oh world?

Are there any more dreams come true?

Oh, world, that we've tainted with sin,

We're caving i8n,

WE still want to save you, oh world!

Oh, world,

Oh, world,

God didn't make you for this, oh world.

< I wrote some new songs! I wrote a LOT of new songs...
:P
I'm not posting all of them.
But here's some, anyway...
