Firm and steady
Handshake Faith
Life sometimes throws complexity
Understanding can feel far off
Gonna Be Alright
People will see you and walk away
Not understanding how you got through
Nothing you said nor done
Gonna be alright
Extreme storms will arise
It won’t be weather
Your storms within
Gonna be Alright
Rain will fall
There will be some cloudy days
Through it all
The sun will come out
Skies will become dark more and more
Gonna be alright
Praying will seem Heaven doesn’t hear
You will feel the Lord isn’t near
The answer will come
Gonna be alright
Satan will ponder doubt in your mind
You will feel his rage of fire in anger
You won’t burn
Gonna be alright
You need a healing
Total intervention
Gonna be alright
Faith is the key
You will be alright
As one walks in God’s goodness
Your paths will be directed
Wonders you have never seen
Blessing after blessing shall arrive
You are beyond alright
Welcome to deliverance of all time.

I watched the moon. Hide once behind the clouds.
Do you know how many times you made me proud?
I'm gonna speak to them now. A million times allowed.
Because you are what, let me hide behind the clouds
Won't you turn around, please, and let me be seen?
For everything we are and everything that we've been..
I promise I'll complete you if you stay with me..
'Cause I remember the nights when you'd lie with me
And we'd talk and touch, and we'd fall asleep
I would wake in your arms and finally feel at ease.
I still have my shirt in a dresser drawer,
The one with the diamonds, which you liked at that store
Then life became a violent storm
Oh, how it's raining.
Oh how the water falls
I used to think we had safety.
That was set in stone,
But now I just miss you, and I lie awake. Left alone!

and in everything, everything

and the beginning and the end are the same;
it's gonna to be ok

Ain’t Gonna Go To Hell For Anybody by Dylan
I find your lines like wine
Making me drunk with love
You toy with my mind
And I’m infatuated enough
But when I think about it
I cool off and pray with faith
Sex and lust is lousy
If you don’t love me God’s way
It’s better to marry
Than to burn like fire
Real love is carried
In red heart of desire
I know we can fool around
And likely have a good time
But hell is a long way down
I don’t want to lose the divine
The love I deserve
The love I desire
Found in holy word
Not from the pit of fire
I’m not going to hell
For any one over flesh
I’d be just as well
Waiting for true happiness
I ain’t gonna go to hell
For anyone no sir not me
God has a plan and well
I’d rather belong to Thee

Gonna Fly Now
(1976)
Let's go the distance.
Push against the resistance.
Keep pushing no matter how tired you are.
Stay strong, run far.
There is no day tomorrow.
Keep your dreams alive today and forever.
This is your time now.
Put in the hard work.
When the lights are out, work harder.
Underground at the gym where it’s darker.
This is your story.
Reach for the glory.
If you had one chance, would you take it?
You're gonna fly now, you’ve made it.
Blood sweat and tears.
Wake up early and get in gear.
You were born for this.
You have a heart kid.
Even when I’m old and gray.
All still put up a fight at the gym any day.
You're investing in your health.
I cannot fail.
Feel the burn deep inside.
Dig deep with pride.

In about a week, I'm gonna go see my maker,
an old Italian guy, who left me with my present caretaker.
I need to go see him about my nose,
because the damn thing just grows and grows.
My caretaker says it's because I lie,
but I don't know how seriously to take her.

I hope every minute you think, a flower of guilt blooms. I pray your garden of guilt goes on forever.
Your living is a privilege you shouldn't get to have.
Does your harm have no boundaries?
When you look into a mirror do you cry?
Every one of those tears you squeeze out of your eyes are just the tears of those you have harmed.
If you cried for every minute of every day it couldn't compare to the billions of tears you have created.
A monster in the making since birth.
No one could even fathom how you got on earth.
Do you ever walk through your mental garden of guilt?
I wonder..are all the flowers white?
Do you fail to recognise that all these flowers are blooming thoughts of the ones we had lost.
And all you see are inanimate, dull flowers?
Flowers that may never bloom because they had fallen ill to your hands.

For a man of my age, I should no longer dream
Of pretty young fillies, quite naughty it seems
But we don't lose the joy to gawk and to stare
When the sweet scent of female fills up the air
Sure hope I don't lose it, this wonderful feeling
While sneakily snatching looks that I am stealing
Girls are aware of the scene they're creating
Of many great memories this sight is relating
The happiest times when we all were much younger
These precious memories haven't lost their thunder
When seeing an old codger hardly able to walk
Still straining his eyes, to stare and to gawk
That primordial instinct is never far away
It still hangs around till our very last day
So all my buckaroonies please do take heart
At one hundred years old it can still joy impart
Trust me I'm honest as the day is long
Life still keeps singing its same old sweet song
Obsessed... I guess you could say that I am
Gonna keep on a-gawking for as long as I can

America, we are not just the greatest country in the World.
We are are the American race,
pioneers of the freeborn.
We are a family, like a family we
have our problems.
Don't get me wrong. You were wrong before,
you underestimated us before.
You underestimate us again.
WE Fyou choose to dance with orange LSO aircraft lightning rod paddles in the storm.
By the way, CIA news, we are not a Democracy,
we are a Constitutional Republic !
GOD Bless America

Your lips need a sewn on button
Your a big addicted glutton
To the awful words your saying
Your tongues a sharp sword that's slaying
Victims everywhere and place
Trails of your mean disgrace
Are found when your mouth is open
Saying it is only jokin'
Jokes are meant to make you smile
Not to corrupt or defile
The way you have been abusing
Others with bombs you are fusing
More power with every word
To me it is just absurd
How someone can be amused
With this joy, I am confused
Why daily this is how you live
Becoming this insensitive
Playing with others emotions
Is a mean and crazy notion
Which needs to be stopped right now
Soon I will see you go POW
When your words do backfire
Knowing your a filthy liar
