Walking Backwards

I look backwards I look forward
I look all around
I look left and right
chaos is all to be found

someone at this second is murdered 
someone at this second is raped
just watching the news 
makes me want to pray

you cant park your car on the street anymore 
you can't go out at night
you can't walk down the road anymore
alone in broad daylight

this world should be moving forwards
and not backwards anymore
people need to be more nice
and bring more love and less war 

how hard is it to pay excuse me
rubbing shoulders'walking by?
being nice is so easy to do
people need to give it a try

the government saying 
what we can or can not do
America used to be free
but that is no longer true

a child rapist is charged again
then he was set free
while ppl sit in jail for unpaid fines
that sounds backwards to me

punishing everyone with guns
because of one person's psychotic act
...it's not the gun it's the person
everyone with common sense knows that

registered sex offenders as our neighbors- man what a relief
the law says they've paid their dues 
but that's just what they want to believe

people being shot all around
because the color of their face
I believe everyone should be loved
no matter what the race

people all over struggling
not enough money for bills to be paid
I think this country is going under
too many changes to be made

oil spills, chemical factories 
and the ocean is filled with trash
at this rate 50 years from now
this world will be ash

it takes so much energy to hate 
I wish everyone could see
life would go more smoothly
if you do unselfish deeds 

when you see someone struggling 
offer a hand to help
if the tables were turned 
wouldn't you want that for yourself?

there are many things you can't change
but try hard at the things you can
you have a special place in this world
you are part of a bigger plan

part of the plan to take our lives back
part of the plan to do what's right
part of the plan to walk safely
down the street in the day or night

I was taught to hold on to love
and I should never hate 
together everyone could turn this around
it is never too late

it's time to take one step forward 
and no longer take any back
this country, this world, our children's' future is at stake
and that is a fact

I Said a Prayer

I said a prayer for you today
it bounced from cloud to cloud
God heard it loud and clear
and now he's smiling down

when you're awake 
and when you're asleep
the love he has for you
The purest so true and deep

I said a prayer for you today
blessed be your heart and soul
I know to show you love him
is your daily goal

I said a prayer for you today
blessed be his name
turn to the Lord our God
when your world becomes insane

because every time you pray
he hears you loud and clear
he wraps his arms around you
and starts to hold you near

God loves all his children
every single one
I know you've read the good book
and you know how it begun

I said a prayer for you today
I gave it my all
may the Lord guide you
and pick you up when you fall

to heal you when your sick 
and when all becomes lost
just hit your knees and pray
it really has no cost

I said a prayer for you today
it was the best I ever said
I'll say another for you in the morning
then before I go to bed

I Have To Say It

there is something that's bothering me
something I've heard all day
"you shouldn't care what others think
about! what you do or what you say"

I can't help but care 
about what people say and do
"you shouldn't care about them
if they don't care about you"

where is the humanity in that?
isn't that what family and friends are for?
to always be there for you
when you can't take it anymore?

I try to see the best in people,
but I get disappointed in the end
"so stop getting your hopes up, just don't care!" but you are wrong my friend

this can't be how it really is!
is there any hope at all?
am I really supposed to turn by back
and not help them when they fall?

I'm not wired that way
it's not how I think 
I can't "not care" 
when they open their mouths to speak

I can't close my mind to everything,
what people do or say 
isn't that all that matters 
at the end of the day?

so yes I will still call all the time 
and maybe get on their nerves
because I know I love them
and that's what they deserve

I may get disappointed all the time
but that only means I care
and it means that no matter what
I'll always be there

My Heart and Soul

I was been told being a mom was hard
and its true no doubt
but my children are three things
I wouldn't be able to live without

They are my very own gifts
sent from above
that I can hold tight each day
and give them all my love

they one day may say they hate me
and I can't say I wont care 
but I know deep in their heart
they know I'll always be there

I may get stressed out sometimes
and I may break down and cry
but all I have to do is think about how happy I am and they are the season why

I don't care if they're two or thirty
its my job to keep them safe from harm
it's my job to wipe away their tears
and wrap them in my arms so warm

I hope when they are grown
and I'm sent to heaven above
that they know how happy they made me 
and how much they were loved
