LIFE
OFTEN IS THE TIME I HAVE SAT AND THOUGHT
WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT
I TRY TO FIND LIFE'S MEANING
I TRY TO WORK IT OUT
LIFE IS NOT ABOUT MONEY
THAT'S ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE
LIFE IS JUST A TEST
BE YOU RICH OR BE YOU POOR
THE MEANING OF LIFE IS LEARNING
TO COPE WITH TASKS THAT COME ALONG
ENJOYING THINGS AROUND YOU
LEARNING AND GROWING STRONG
FAMILY IS IMPORTANT
WE MUST LEARN TO TEACH THEM WELL
NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE
AS ONLY TIME WILL TELL
DEATH IS NOT THE END
DEATH IS JUST THE START
WE TAKE WITH US ALL WE HAVE LEARNT
FROM THIS WORLD WE DEPART

TEENAGE PRAYER
MAY MY FACE NOT HAVE A SPOT
MAY I SCORE WITH EVERY SHOT
MAY MY HAIR JUST FULL INTO PLACE
MAY I ALWAYS HAVE A PRETTY FACE
MAY I ALWAYS BE TOP OF MY CLASS
MAY MY EXAMS I ALWAYS PASS
MAY I HAVE MONEY EVERY NIGHT
MAY MY JEANS FIT ME JUST RIGHT
MAY I DANCE LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON
MAY I NEVER MISS OUT ON THE ACTION
MAY I HAVE A STEADY LOVE
I PRAY THESE THINGS TO GOD ABOVE

HOME
SISTER IS UPSTAIRS DOING HER HAIR
MUMS DOWN STAIRS SHE'S GOING SPARE
DAD JUST SITS THERE IN HIS CHAIR
WATCHING THE GAME HE DON'T CARE
BROTHER IS WAITING FOR A BATH
HIM!!A BATH DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH
SINCE HE MET THAT GIRL HE'S ACTING DAFT
NOW HE'S EVEN DRINKING HALF'S
MUM SHE IS BUSY COOKING DINNER
EVERY TIME SHE COOKS A WINNER
FOR MY MUM IS NO BEGINNER
IF YOU MISS IT YOUR A SINNER
I LOVE MY HOME I REALLY DO
WHEN IM AWAY I FEEL SO BLUE
ITS THEIR FOR ME TO PULL ME THROUGH
IS YOU HOME THE SAME FOR YOU

HOPE
HOW COME COUNTRIES CANNOT UNITE
ALL THEY SEEM TO DO IS FIGHT
SETTLE THINGS WITH THEIR IRON FIST
IF THEY ONLY KNEW THE RISK
HOW GREAT IT WOULD BE IF WAR DID CEASE
AND EVERYONE COULD LIVE IN PEACE
ALL TOGETHER SIDE BY SIDE
NO ONE WITH A THING TO HIDE
A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WERE NOT SCARED
AND EVERYTHING WE HAD WAS SHARED
SAFE TO WALK OUT IN THE STREET
EVERYONE HAD ENOUGH TO EAT
I KNOW THIS PLACE ITS IN MY DREAMS
BUT WE REALLY HAVE THE MEANS
LETS MAKE THIS WORLD THE PLACE TO BE
WHERE GODS PEOPLE CAN LIVE FREE

LIFE IT CAN BE HARD SOMETIMES
IT CAN GET ON TOP OF YOU
IT MAY TAKE ALL YOU HAVE
JUST TO PULL YOU THROUGH
LIFE YOU KNOW IS JUST A TEST
TO SEE JUST HOW YOU COPE
REMEMBER BEHIND THE DARKEST CLOUD
THEIR IS ALWAYS A RAY OF HOPE
JUST TRY TO DO THE BEST YOU CAN
HELP OTHERS ALONG THE WAY
REMEMBER LIFE IS FOR LIVING
DO NOT WASTE A SINGLE DAY
HEAVEN IS WAITING FOR YOU
ALL THE ANSWERS ARE ALL THERE
TAKE THE GOOD TIME & THE BAD TIME
WE ALL MUST TAKE OUR SHARE

GRAVEYARD
AN OLD LADY TENDS A GRAVESIDE
SHE HAS BEEN THERE FOR MANY HOURS
TEARDROPS SLOWLY FILL HER EYES
AS SHE TENDERLY LAYS SOME FLOWERS
A GRAVEYARD IS A MYSTIC PLACE
SO MANY PEOPLE YET NOT A SOUND
THEY LAY THERE IN ETERNAL REST
DEEP BENEATH THE GROUND
MANY YEARS THEY WERE TOGETHER
BUT NOW HER HUSBAND HAS GONE
BUT LIFE'S SO HARD WITHOUT HIM
SHE KNOWS SHE MUST BE STRONG
SHE TELLS HIM ALL HER PROBLEMS
HOW SHE IS GETTING ON WITH LIFE
EVEN THOUGH HE HAS GONE AWAY
SHE WILL ALWAYS BE HIS WIFE

SHAME
LAST NIGHT I WOKE UP WITH A SCREAM
I REALLY HAD A TERRIBLE DREAM
I DREAMT I WAS BLIND I COULD NOT SEE
AND EVERYONE THEY PICKED ON ME
THEY SHOUTED AND PUSHED ME AROUND
UNTIL I FELL UPON THE GROUND
EVEN THEN THEY CARRIED ON
ALTHOUGH I HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG
IF YOUR BODY IS NOT ALL THERE
THEY PICK YOU OUT THEY LOOK THEY STARE
YOU FEEL SO GUILTY YOU FEEL THE SHAME
THOUGH YOUR NOT THE ONE TO BLAME
WHAT IF IT WAS NOT ME BUT IT WAS THEM
MAYBE THEN THEY WOULD THINK AGAIN
MAYBE THEN THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND
AND MAKE THIS PLACE A BETTER LAND

MY DOG
I HAVE HEARD IT ONCE WAS SAID
THAT A DOG IS MANS BEST FRIEND
BUT MY DOG WONT DO AS I ASK
AND HE DRIVES ME ROUND THE BEND
THERE IS DOG POO ON MY PATIO
AND THERE ARE CLAW MARKS ON MY CHAIR
HIS TAIL KNOCKS OVER MY THE BEST CHINA
AND THERE IS DOGS HAIRS EVERYWHERE
THAT DAM DOGS ALWAYS HUNGRY
EVEN AFTER HE HAS BEEN FED
HE WONT SLEEP IN HIS BASKET
BUT HE WILL SLEEP UPON MY BED
I THINK MY DOGS JUST CRAZY
HE IS THE DUMBEST DOG I KNOW
ITS THE LITTLE THING THAT HE DOES
THAT MAKE ME LOVE HIM SO

A WORLD WHERE NO ONE IS BITTER
A WORLD WHERE THERE IS NO HUNGER
A WORLD WHERE THERE IS NO FEAR
A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE SMILE
A WORLD WHERE NO ONE SHEDS A TEAR
A WORLD WHERE THERE IS PEACE
A WORLD WHERE NO ONE IS POOR
SURELY A WORLD LIKE THAT
IS WELL WORTH HOPING FOR

MY GARDEN
in this world we live such stressful lives
everybody needs just a little space
when the day is done I sit in my garden
I have built myself a special place
I have a special chair and I sit out there
I lay back and look up to the sky
and all my worries just drift away
as I watch the clouds roll by
my grass is green and my flowers grow
much hard work have I done outside
but to sit down and look at what I've done
makes me glow with pride
In my garden I escape the world
In my garden I feel proud
I sit there alone with all my thought my own
far away from the hustling crowd

love
I love you more than words can say
You are the only one for me
Any place where you may go
That's where I want to be
I want to share my life with you
Your my best friend and my lover
You are everything to me
I could never love another
I will always be there for you
Pick you up when you are feeling sad
I will be you shoulder to cry upon
In times when life gets bad
I had to write the way I feel
I had to let you know
The way I feel about you
How much I LOVE YOU SO

FATHER
I really did love my father
Oh how I wish I had told him so
For now that he has passed away
I fear he may never know
He was kind and he was loving
He made my life such a joy
I remember all the fun we had
Way back when I was a boy
In teenage years I got things wrong
But my father taught me well
He spoke to me words of wisdom
He picked me up when in life I fell
I never thought he would ever go
I guess I thought he would live forever
I feel empty without him now
I really wish we were still together
The day I go to heaven
I know just what I will do
I will walk up to my father and say
Dad I really LOVE YOU
