Welcome To a Brand New World, Song Version

Welcome to a brand new world

Verse 1
How are you feeling right now?
Is there still a yearning in your heart?
You're probably like, ten million or more,
praying for a brand new start

Verse 2
What happened to the world you imagined?
Where justice and peace ruled the day...
Is it merely a dream or wishful thinking,
a fantasy that leads you astray


Chorus
Welcome to a brand new world...
where evil men cannot be found
No reason to fear the nighttime,
a place where you feel safe and sound
Welcome to a brand new world!
This is not just a dream...it's reality,
joy in the heart of each boy and girl,
Welcome to a brand new world!


Verse 3
God has shown us how to love
So why is true peace elusive?
Monsters and imposters hide who they are,
they send out doves with a Judas kiss


Verse 4
It's been about two thousand years now
Praying for God's kingdom to come
Now's not the time to lose patience or faith,
it's time for God's will to be done


Chorus
Welcome to a brand new world...
where evil men cannot be found
No reason to fear the nighttime,
a place where you feel safe and sound
Welcome to a brand new world!
This is not just a dream...it's reality,
joy in the heart of each boy and girl,
Welcome to a brand new world!

Welcome to a brand new world!
Welcome to a brand new world!
Welcome to a brand new world!

Thats When I Fall Down Upon My Knees, Song Version

Updated lyrics May 19,2020 to flow better.

THAT’S WHEN I FALL DOWN UPON MY KNEES

There’s no way- 
I’ll see another sunrise
My hope is gone-
as I'm contemplating my life

Prospects are bleak- 
that’s just the way I’m feeling
My strength is gone- 
and my will to live is fading

Here in the dark- 
Even my shadow has left me
I spiral down-
into a pit of misery

That’s when I- 
remember that you still love me
I kneel to pray- 
and throw all my cares upon you

Chorus
That’s when I fall down upon my knees
And then I beg you Lord...
Don’t turn your face away from me
I know I’ve made a mess out of my life
Could you help me please?
When I feel like it’s the end
That’s when I fall down upon my knees

I cannot lie- 
I know I’m running out of time
And I know-
that your patience is wearing thin

I must change-
if I’m ever going to save my life
Oh please dear Lord-
help me fight all my sins and win!

Chorus
That’s when I fall down upon my knees
And then I beg you Lord...
Don’t turn your face away from me
I know I’ve made a mess out of my life
Could you help me please?
When I feel like it’s the end
That’s when I fall down upon my knees

Chorus repeat 

Finale
That’s when I fall down upon my knees
That’s when I fall down upon my knees

repeat and fade

True Colors

Eyes are the windows of a soul and they say ‘Love is blind’
But how do you describe colour to a sightless person?

Such depths to your violet eyes
The windows of your Soul
A flickering source of emotions
Speaking volumes ~ though sightless 

Not limited by vision
Not obscured by darkness
Your dazzling beauty of true colour
Conceals your inner world
Of complex greys
Your smiles create rainbows 
That stay
All through my day

In a world of colour
For some eyes
Sadness and mistrust linger
Your eyes mirror only
Beauty and Hope ~ Love and Joy

You ask for a detailed description of
the colour of your eyes
How can I?
Futile will be my try
No Master’s artistic brush can decipher
That deeper shade of violet

Changing like the sun’s ceremonial display
Retaining an aura of mystery
Seeking only truth
In your abstract blur of colour

Though ~ let me try
Here place your hand on my heart
How can one see colour
If it can’t be felt

Look through my eyes
Feel that majestic sky
With its beautiful variations of blue
Serenading the aqua sea below
Through sparkles of iridescent silver bursts 
A tinge of pearly pink lazily drifts past


I hastily dip my brush just a touch
Do you see?  Swirling pink with the blue
Another dip into the aqua of the sea
Hints from the bushes of lilacs below
A smidge of the red poppy
Blended till it’s the right shade of a violet hue

Can you feel my colour?
Behind your veil of black velvet?
My humble artistic attempt
Going beyond my range of limitations

 Your
eyes glow 
in approval
In that spinning vortex of 
violet complexity ~ We dance in your world of darkness
As you whisper to me ~ that your eyes have always seen the stars.
We both look~~~~~incredulously ~~~~~at the same spot
A starburst ******************of light
A ~~~~~~~~~~~~~shooting~~~~~~~~~~~star
My wish ~~~~~~~~~~for you~~~~~~~~~~my love
To be ~~~~~~~~~~~~forever and~~~~~~~~always as
Brilliant as~~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~~~you are
 **          **
 ***           ***
*****             ****
  ******               ******
   ********              ********

You're getting tired of losing...
there's not enough joy and peace to be found
Sometimes it's better choosing...
to set your goals high, never looking down


(refrain)
Let's be strong together!
Make changes together!
Let's be strong together!
Have the courage to say:


Chorus
I'll be strong...
I'll forget all the pain,
I'll be strong...
I'll learn from my mistakes,
I'll be strong...
I'll be who I am and not be ashamed

Your  will to live is fading...
don't give up on the chance to live your dreams...
maybe time to do some praying...
for courage to be strong and to believe

Let's be strong together!
Make changes together!
Let's be strong together!
Have the courage to say:

My Heart Has Found a Home-Song Version

My heart has found a home (Song version)

So many years alone-
my hearts without a home
Nights were filled with fear-
my heart shed a tear

My loneliness had grown-
my hearts without a home
my foolish heart has spent-
emotions paying rent


Chorus
My heart has found a home
no need for it to roam
Love has come my way
I know that it will stay
My heart has found a home
it's home is here with you
you are it's dwelling place
love shines upon your face
my heart has found a home


Since you came to me-
your love has set me free
I see love in your eyes-
your heart now beats with mine

Lonely days are gone-
our love will stay strong
Say you'll always stay-
I need you everyday


Chorus
My heart has found a home
no need for it to roam
Love has come my way
I know that it will stay
My heart has found a home
it's home is here with you
you are it's dwelling place
love shines upon your face
my heart has found a home

repeat chorus twice   fade to zero

Another Lovers Touch Song Version

Another lover's touch


There's never been a love,
that's ever been enough...
You keep searching for...
another lover's touch


Why do I even try,
I should  stop wasting time...
You say that we are fine...
we both know that's a lie


Chorus
I can see the ending,
in our book of love...
Well I try and I try and I try,
but it's not enough...
I see the curtain falling
on our romantic play....
I never thought our love ...
would end this way


I remember that first look,
the first chapter of our book...
We thought we'd found a love that would never die


The days turned into weeks,
so many nights without sleep...
The love we felt was an unrelenting fire



Chorus
I can see the ending,
in our book of love...
Well I try and I try and I try,
but it's not enough...
I see the curtain falling
on our romantic play....
I never thought our love...
would end this way


Chorus
I can see the ending,
in our book of love...
Well I try and I try and I try,
but it's not enough...
I see the curtain falling
on our romantic play....
I never thought our love... 
would end this way


There's never been a love,
that's
ever
been 
enough...

You keep...
searching...
for another...
lover's...
touch.

Premium Member Angels Sing

Angels Sing

I hear them, 
all the time. 
When I pick up my child, 
and hold her close, 
her breath…
Harps; lovely,
faraway, 
and distant.

When I go to my grandmothers, 
and clean her kitchen, 
all afternoon, 
while she teaches me, 
how to make, 
cornbread and beans…
the right way.
Violins and soft flutes, 
as she smoked for 60 years. 
She is dying, 
My heart is crying, 
but the woodwinds are respectful…
of her years, if not my tears.

When I go to my loves grave, 
and stand beside the small flag, 
I can hear the band, 
playing Rock Songs, 
favorite one time hits, 
and the Star Spangled Banner!
The vocals, on high, 
Every word a blessing
to the family, 
you left behind. 

The freedom to listen, 
The freedom to sing, 
to laugh and pray, 
about everything!

Premium Member Thinking of you

"Violinist : Diana Yukawa  Vocals : Jemma  Lyrics : The Poet"
If you start Dianna's video on the 26th second and Jemma's voice recording on the 13th second simultaneously, my words fit exactly to the music.
  
Where do we go to?
Feelings so blue now,
When we think of you.
So many souls are gone now.
Gone forever into the blue.
Lost not forgotten.
Thinking of you.
Thinking of you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~		
Where do we go to now?
Where do we go?
Something familiar and new.
Dear one I need you.
I am no where near you .
Feeling this song is for you.
See I long for you now .
All on my own now.
My body longs to know you.
I light a candle loving you now .
longing too.
Longing for you. 
You are my savior. 
I am needing you.
Happy as I am, 
Missing you too.
I do need you close now.
Needing you so.
Where dear are you now?
Seeing you now.
Longing for you I am too.
Longing for you. 
You are my savior. 
I am needing you.
Happy as I am, 
Missing you too.
I do need you close now.
Needing you so.
Where dear are you now?
Seeing you now.

The Mane Event - On The Catwalk


The Mane Event - On The Catwalk

And now for something completely different! I invite you to experience this unique blend of music, where this dynamic video brings to life the essence of anthropomorphism, in an entertaining portrayal, highlighting creatures with human-like traits - a total figment of my fertile imagination.

Meet a lion 'With Attitude' so regal and fierce, as he prowls and sets the 'Catwalk' ablaze with his mighty roar, leaving a trail of awe, admiration and respect of the other jungle animals, and capturing the hearts of the lionesses. It's an auditory and visual feast, playing with themes of royalty, bravado, and humour. 

Step into the vibrant spectacle of a jungle runway, 'The Mane Event'- On The Catwalk, a Blues Rock anthem bursting with charisma and wit, entertained by an elegantly dressed animal band and set to the gritty and soulful sounds and combines electric guitar riffs with stomping beats and deep, smoky vocals, inspired by iconic figures like the MGM lion. It combines realism with playful, cartoon-like elements set in a fantastical realm.

How does this bold and cheeky lion 'With Attitude' resonate with you? Could you see him becoming a legend on the animal runway?

Heavenly light new song version

An end of life prayerful song!

Heavenly Light

Dark days have come....
my life is ending
My days are numbered...
but, I'm unafraid

I have no regrets...
except I must leave her
My days are numbered...
but, I'm unafraid

So don't you worry,
don't fret about me...
I'll always be with you...
in your...memory


Chorus
Heavenly light...shine down upon me
Shine on my pathway...to eternity
Oh Heavenly light...shine down upon me
My life's in your hands Lord...
remember me...


I've had some hard times,
but, I've had your blessing
You've given me love...
and...I will miss her

Please comfort her Lord,
for she will get lonely
Please help her endure,
till, we meet again


Chorus
Heavenly light...shine down upon me
Shine on my pathway...to eternity
Oh Heavenly light...shine down upon me
My life's in your hands Lord...
remember me...

All of my life, Lord, 
I've been your servant
I've done my best,
to do your will

You've given your son,
and, I don't feel worthy
Thank you for your love, Lord,
I will praise you still


Chorus
Heavenly light...shine down upon me
Shine on my pathway...to eternity
Oh Heavenly light...shine down upon me
My life's in your hands Lord...
remember me...

My life's in your hands Lord...
remember me...
My life's in your hands Lord...
remember me...

Premium Member All Creation Sings Your Praise

All creation sings your praises,
Thou who angels love to praise.
Singing holy, holy, holy
round Your throne in heav’n above.
Feathered creatures of all species
worship You at each new dawn.
Joining in a joyful chorus
praising You for each new day.

Wind and rain with trees of forest
join in singing praise to You.
Leaves vibrating making music, 
as the rainstorm rustles them.
Sun and moon and stars in heaven
praise You their Creator, great.
As the sun vibrates its vocals
moon and stars ascribe You praise.

Let us all as image-bearers
of the God who gives us life.
Join with all of His creation
Singing praises to our God.
Praise Him for the great salvation
purchased by His Son made flesh.
So that man redeemed and ransomed
Will one day with angels sing.

Is This Me

I don't know what you're really thinking off me.
If this is real thinking I'm not thinking properly.
Everything inside me fights and tries to stop these warnings in mind, was fine and now they got me locked up in my divided mind of  conflict. 
In my declining life I'm rock bottom and forgetting my problems.
They want me better, I hear it commonly suggested though I'm exhausted of my efforts I've waisted on attempts.
Spent far too much energy on it and never getting ahead, watching thunder.
Reluctantly under thumbs of this system where parliamentary wickedness judges every movement.
Abusing their power, final hour they're losing vital signs, leave them clueless so there's room for improvement.
Some remain loyal and accept their horse ****, yet I predict our government will get a quick kick to the ribs for their fibs.
Lies and cheap disguises so why am I obliged  to fight beside this nation.
When the devastation came rampaging like a hurricane over their stage coach show, I'll crack the cases open then stroll like a Roman soldier no tolgien and when I expose these vocals unspoken, no joke it'll explode then we'll watch the commotion. 
Then to them we're out focus when we brew up mad potions stewed like hocus pocus and I'm in total involvement like when I'm holding a microphone flowing a rhyme with words that may upset and turn ya perpetrator. 
My brain splits like a glacier when my pen hits the paper and scripts murder and hurtful things in rhyme violence to beat riots, I'm defining mad science.
Temperatures off the gauge it raised up to the max, the glass cracked open, I'm breaking the stats.
Crazy devil dance out weighs your heavy stance, the landscape shakes when my mental state slams. 
Nastiest override of your entire mind. I'm the supplier of rhymes the sets ya head on fire and ignites you on the inside. 
Time to end denial and since I was a child I swore never to break a vow and saw mama pass down thoughts like the day after my father died she cry laughter....

Premium Member Robin Redbreast

Robin Redbreast

Spring is here, and the robins appear
With morning and evening song in the air.

A robin redbreast perched in a tree
Sings a song for his lady bird-to-be,
Undeterred, as he awaits her answer,
Crescendoing to drown out the others.
His heart afire, his senses alert,
He preens his feathers between the chirps
And breathes deep as his chest puffs out;
Then, music vocals produced by the syrinx
Flow out from his bill, calling to his sweetheart
In refrains to arouse her curiosity.

And if successful, she’ll fly in his direction
To check out his worthiness and description.

Premium Member With a Little Help From My Friends

“Billy Shears” was a pseudonym for Ringo.
He was the drummer for the Fab Four as you would know.
The Sergeant Pepper album for this group went far.
Vocals for the second track were supplied by Mr. Starr.
“With a Little Help From My Friends” had a good sound.
On the back of the album cover, the lyrics could be found.
Inspiration for writing comes in a stream and never ends.
I get my ideas with a little help from my friends.
