Best Song Lyricworld Poems


Hey, Pete Seeger!

FREEDOM SONG

Do you know the path to freedom,
do you know the road to peace,
do you know the value of truth and wisdom -
let’s bind our hands across the land.

Do you know how to love your brother,
do you know how to understand,
do you realize that you live only once -
let’s fill the world with love and joy.

The world is in a state of sorrow,
poverty, wars and hate abound;
let us stop all of these philosophizing,
let’s sing the song of peace instead.

The world is in a state of sorrow,
poverty, wars and hate abound;
let us stop all of these philosophizing,
let’s sing the song of peace instead.

     (Dedicated to Pete Seeger)

Come Along

Just come along
With me on this road 
not so long
A road that is very 
short
To learn a little about 
my world of all sort!

Come along and read
The things that are 
here for us to lead
Ourselves and others 
to the promised land
Which makes us look 
like magicians with the 
best wand!

Come along and correct 
me
Where you notice flaws 
that be
Then do not fail to 
commend
The ones that are 
straight and not bend!

OH God my Creator
The Lord of the world 
and Saviour
Make these lines 
beneficial
And not make me a lamb 
sacrificial!

When Ur Days Won'T Smile

How does the world feel when we cry
How does the world feel when we die
I'm headed to a place as gentle as a slow melody
Where we can walk in peace without it being a felony
It's hard waking up to another day when nobody loves you
Even harder not to retaliate when somebody shoves you
Label me a trouble maker
But I remain the kindest heart-waker
So many attempt, but suicides no longer a question
In the climax of life, and loves not even a suggestion

Through this letter
I ask is there a place where life's a little better
Help us withstand the bad weather

Can you witness the struggle 
to carry on when all tears form a puddle
And over time love ones huddle
There will never be peace
But I look forward to the deceased and all the stress we release.
See you in heaven if I make it
Given the chance I don't know if I'd take it
And if I gave it all up would anyone care
Put hands on me with feelings to share
Present situations make way for future vacations

In this letter
I'm asking is there a place where life's a little better
Put on armor and thick sweaters
Please help us withstand the bad weather

When I'm gone will the world miss me
Or pop champagne bottles and diss me
Either way leave a blister to kiss me
If I should head to church on Sunday
Pray for a better Monday
And when the day ends and the next doesn't begin
We'll know the world has spun it's last sin
Through my mind I picture happiness 
but through my worst dreams
my nightmares are pleasant scenes

In this letter
I'm asking is there a place where life's a little better
Put on armor and thick sweaters
Please help us withstand the bad weather

"songs for those whom care"


The Great Feast

We’re bait.
Bait for the beasts
Waiting to feast on the meat
To say the least
The world is stripped when they meet

So bathe
In social incest, along with decadence
And decay

Pray to your gods
Whichever they may be
Many are among us
We’re too blind to see
They look down from above
Or up from below
Taking back everything
You claimed as your own

“Faithful servants,
You serve your masters well.
But there is one above
(One above us all)
You will be at our disposal
Before we fall
To the fate of us all”

We screwed you all!
We screwed you all!
We sucked the purity out of this world
Ripped off the flesh
Left rotten to the core
A scent of death is all that’s left
When the world is betrayed
By Archangels and remains
---A Boneyard!---

..Now the beasts will commence on the great feast,
Living off the perversion and disease…

Tears Upon the Ground

It was when I caught you on a day,
When I know you didn’t want to be found.
You had seen the shock on my face,
When I noticed all those tears upon the ground.
Nobody could ever predict,
Another’s tolerance for pain.
One person’s world may be sunny,
When someone else’s world is full of rain.
There is no question your trying to fight it,
You’re showing all of your strength.
Did you know it’s not a sign of weakness?
To open up with someone you can talk with at length.
So don’t drown in those tears,
Go ahead and take my hand.
Really all you need sometimes,
Is the one in front of you who will stick to the end.

I can’t believe how many tears,
That have collected on the ground.
Looking at so many tears,
I figure I would have heard a sound.
No I never heard a whimper,
I never heard you cry.
It’s when I looked up at your face,
I had seen all that strength there in your eyes.

I know sometimes in this world,
It has a funny way to pat you on the back.
You try everything you can to do things right,
Yet you still feel like you are under attack.
It can be hard to keep the balance,
When pushed to such a fine line.
With so many questions you have left unanswered,
Praying you’re not left to hang out there for all of time.
The grind can be tough so take my hand,
So I can finally help you out.
I can still see that strength but you are weakening,
I know you’re full of courage, and that I would never doubt.
In life there are always points along the way,
When fear and pain will surprisingly come around.
I can stay with you for as long as you need,
We’ll gather up those tears upon the ground. 

I can’t believe how many tears,
That have collected on the ground.
Looking at so many tears,
I figure I would have heard a sound.
No I never heard a whimper,
I never heard you cry.
It’s when I looked up at your face,
I had seen all that strength there in your eyes.

Circles In the Sky

yeah yeah so here I am at the voting booth
the voting booth
if we only had some tabloids I'd know what to do
one devoted to digging up the dirt, the perks, and the poop
on this gal and that guy with sincerity and truth
yeah yeah at the voting boooooooth
the voting booooooooth
because I'm freeeeee
the commies had one guy to vote for and
we got two and sometimes threeeee
and I don't know any of theeeese
Hmmm let's see
to whom shall I cast my vote
think any of these are full of good deeds
think any of them are
vote for me vote for me
I need this job so please please please
think any of them are blue collar
or are very poor with mouths to feed
or an American brother who knows what it is to be
in need
yeah
an American brother
that's what we need
somebody like us 
somebody who sees
someone with integrity and heart
fears God and bleeds
know no no no
I don't know none of these
let's seeee
we got this thief or that thief
crawling out of the rats nest
hungry to go meet their new boss
big world lobbyists
yeah the real boss
big world lobbyists
green horn and don't you know
their gonna eat'chew alive
you better learn real fast
how to cheat and lie
and the only love I can see in DC is in
the vultures eyes
their hungry hugry eyes
and you know they don't kill
no no they don't kill
just patiently wait for you to die
circles in the sky
laughing so hard they cry
working man better stand up
working man better stand up
I think we need to police the greed
and string up the guilty
enough is enough
and we don't want you ruling over us
anymore know no no more
we need to police the greed
and string the guilty up
before they completely destroy us
I think we could all agree
that the problem is greed
yeah we need to police greed in 
Washington DC 
and string up the guilty
if we ever want to be free
again

Just Some Dumb Lyric's I Wrote..

In a flowered room filled to the rim,she counts her blessings and then she goes to a place 
where she won't have to hear the world's expectations.

If she knew, if she tried, they tell her she's a hopeless case; but she thinks the world's all a 
lie and she won't believe it.

(CHORUS) : Can you teach her how to live can you try; or push her off the ledge and expect 
her to fly.

No mother before her to teach her grace or show her how. No father to love and now she's 
lost in the world and it's crowd. 

Her child has become the center of her world but she doesn't know how he's to grow, as she 
sits in a room alone away from a world so cold.

(CHORUS)

He grows up just like her, and he's all alone too, sometimes he starts to wonder how his 
mom got through.

He sits alone in a flowered room where she used to pray, hoping he can make it through the 
pain and gloom of another day.

(CHORUS): Can you teach him how to live, can you try; or push him off the ledge and expect 
him to fly.

When the world comes into play each must play a role, when the curtains close the stage 
don't forget the lost souls.

(CHORUS): Can you teach them how to live, can you try; or push them off the ledge and 
expect them to fly....

Im With You

Ive met you before
memories ago
the mind cant ignore
what you choose to show

does all the pain and hunger
leave you standing tall?
do you lose your sense of wonder?
or hide behind the wall?

Does it ever go unnoticed
when you forget to smile
does the world go unfocused
just for a little while
I'm with you
oh im with you

does the fear of love embrace you?
do hide behind the wall?
do you stay above and cling to?
or let the glass break your fall?

Does it ever go unnoticed
when you forget to smile
does the world go unfocused
just for a little while
I'm with you
oh im with you

You taste so empty
you love so cruel
They made the story
ended by you, you

Does it ever go unnoticed
when you forget to smile
does the world go unfocused
just for a little while
I'm with you
oh im with you

Never Harm the Children

We must never harm the children 
For that ruins our tomorrows
It fills the world with misery
And compounds all our sorrows
We must never harm the children
For they harbor all our dreams
They represent the future
That we pray will be secure

We must never harm the children
It should be quite apparent
To build the world we hope for
 We must be a better parent

If the world does cause you grief
And you truly need relief
Go buy yourself a boulder  
And beat that into sand

But never harm the children
For should you choose to do so
The truth from which you can’t hide
Come judgment the gates won’t open wide

We must never harm the children
They are more precious than jewels and gold
And if you hold them closely
 They can warm you in the cold

We must never harm the children
 To know that you have won
Just look upon the smiles,
Of your grandchildren having fun.

We must never harm the Children

Its Time Ioj Pupa Santa

It`s time to stop the killing of the innocent man
to make a better world we must do all that we can
the future can be brighter if we just realise
that we are all equal in the jahovias eyes
its time to stop the children dying from starvation
me no care if it costs one hundred thousand million
how can you let the people live their lifes in such a way
i get down on my knees to Jah and this is what i say
it`s time that the kings and queens and governments are gone
the way in which you run this world is definitley wrong
you give the people sadness through your war and your crime
you had your chance you took, the gold & now its our time..

Waiting For the Wind

Sitting in the morning just waking up on my side of the world today
I turn on the news see if anyone has anything good to say
Stock markets falling and another landslide while the politicians try to deny
Global warming and more killer storms and another thousand people die
and the advertiser says I’d be happy if I bought bigger car you know
I’ve got my sails out...and I’m waiting for the winds to blow
I got my sails out...and I’m waiting for the winds to blow.


Sometimes I think the world’s gone mad and I can’t stand to hear the pain
One place burning in holy fire and another in a deluge of rain
Sometimes I think that hatred and war is the only way we know how to be
And I want to sail away,..in a world made for you and me
Sometimes I wonder at the pace of it all, where’s everybody trying to go
I got my sails out...and I’m waiting for the winds to blow.
I got my sails out...and I’m waiting for the winds to blow.


Why can’t we see the beauty of it all in the sun rising every day
Life holding on to the sides of mountains and the waters rushing into the bay
Why can’t we live as if nothing on earth mattered more that the love that we bring
I want to sail away,.. and become part of everything
Why can’t we care just a little bit more, maybe let a little kindness show
I got my sails out...and I’m waiting for the winds to blow.
I got my sails out...and I’m waiting for the winds to blow.

If Tomorrow Is Truely News

I can’t do 
Anything 
without you
There’s nothing 
I can do 
without you 

I know you think I’m me
But I’ve been pretending to be
Opened the door 
Before I knew you were leaving
My first foster mother and adopted brother
It’s a world of harsh reality
Left it to my feet to discover 
“Trust no one”
Especially if snakes don’t speak 
“You don’t even utter”
No cold cuts, no bread, only peanut butter
Maybe a taste of  honey on days we couldn’t play
Child hood was just not sunny
Hated church
The pastor and anything biblical that lurked
Hated photos
No cheese, no smile, not even a smirk
Held my pillow to my face and refused to breathe
At the time life could do nothing but hurt
Never fell in love
Not a passionate flirt
Family visits and various social workers 
“Please I’m not going to hurt you”
Never mind the damage has been done 
Never could revamp the fun
Grew grim, my soul got bleached in the sun
Nine years old and I just want to see mom
A friend , a single compassionate face 
Bitterly my beloved tears taste
Not born of a supreme race 
Days I’d go without toothpaste 
The struggles I’ve over come
The scars you can’t see 
The image you love
I can no longer be 
I worthless, I get it 
I’m poor and things are getting no better
But I haven’t misspelled a word in this letter
Worth nothing more than soiled rags
But I did it, I made it to 22 
Without hustling, drugs, or getting tagged 
My tears in your basket, that’s all I had 
No property value
“smoke marijuana” get out of here
Cant let these detectives and there ideal logy foul you 
She’s a pretty girl but I can’t give her the world 
Maybe a cold drink and a romance that won’t sink 
Hold on to that, I’d miss you if I blinked 
I changed my life at twelve
Put yesterday on the shelf 
And held on to myself
I have no identity 
I’m made up of what I learned from others
No mother, no father
I shouldn’t have made it any further


I can’t do 
Anything 
without you
There’s nothing 
I can do 
without you

To Save the World From Sin

So many take for granted the things sent from above.
The mercies shown from Jesus our master of Love.
Have you ever stopped to think about the seeds He has sewn
The way the world acts today, you'd think they done it on their own.

Jesus died upon the cross , to save the world from sin.
have you ever stopped to think, or let Jesus in.
He's the master of all masters, the King of all Kings.
Alpha and Omega and the reason why I sing.

In this world were living in its hard to recognize
But theres one important thing that all must realize.
In the name of the father the Son and Holy Ghost 
Your sins will be forgiven if you let Jesus Be your Host.

Not Quite Like You

It's a funny trick how the world works
People just screaming to be seen
But they're not quite like you 
If you know what I mean

You are the best thing I'm dying to happen to me
You are everything I am 
You're also what I wish I could be
But you don't see what I see

You look the mirror 
You think you have problems
Seeing the worst never did anyone good
You're seeing a lie
Because I know just who you are
It's like you have the character of someone I wrote

I don't think you know 
But let me heal your heart
I know just where
Just where
To start
You're just so good 
I wish you could see it
Couldn't make up a better guy if I tried

You are the best thing I'm dying to happen to me
You are everything I am 
You're also what I wish I could be
But you don't see what I see

What a crazy thing
A beautiful boy can't see that
He's incredible and he's everything to me
Puts himself down while everyone else struts around

It's a funny trick how the world works
People just screaming to be seen
But they're not quite like you 
If you know what I mean

No, they're not quite like you
Not quite like you
If you know what I mean

My Little Notes

I can never make you my entire world because i have my own mark to place on this 
world 

i can only say but three words to you that i know means the world to you

i've devoted my time into letting you know nothing but the truth about me

i don't ever want our love to be fracutred hated or abused

i just want an angel from of above to keep me attached to you

on the last note i will type i love you & goodnight
