Premium Member The Whole World Needs a Clown

When the world is so sad
Even to the point  of being mad
The smile has been misplaced
As a frown has come in it's placed

No more happiness
Nothing but sadness
I digress
While in distress
We sing

The whole world needs a clown
When there is no one else around
He will do something funny
Take away your frown
The whole world needs a clown

No more happiness
Nothing but sadness
I digress
While in distress
We sing

The world is horribly in pain
Drowning with in it's shame
Count your blessings hold you breath
Hold your chin and head up you are blessed 

No more happiness
Nothing but sadness
I digress
While in distress
We sing

The whole world needs a clown
When there is no one else around
He will do something funny
Take away your frown
The whole world needs a clown

Premium Member Mama They Don'T Like Me For the Color of My Skin-

Mama, mama they don’t like me for the color of my skin;
Oh, daddy why won’t they play with me;
What’s wrong wit me; 

Older brother Ronnie says they is…president
(He means prejudice)
Daddy I’m sick of it;

Mama they don't like me, for the color of my skin;
What Oh did I ever do to them...

Don’t I have two eyes, like them?
Don’t I have one mouth and two arms, and…
Don’t I have just one nose and…
Why? Just why won’t they be my friend, my friend;

Mama, mama they don’t like me for the color of my skin;
Oh, daddy why won’t they play with me;
What’s wrong wit me

My brown eyes are the same I can see them;
Yet some of theirs are blue, green and hazel;
Oh, God Oh God why don’t they play wit me;

Mama, mama they don’t like me for the color of my skin;
Oh, daddy why won’t they play with me;
What’s wrong wit me; 

Mama they don't like me, for the color of my skin;
What Oh did I ever do to them...

I will end this song I will sing;
Lord God what is wrong wit me;
I’m pouty and upset…
Mama what is this thing called PREUDICE…

Premium Member Would You Be My Love- -

I was lost girl
Until the night came
It was the midnight star
Midnight star light
That shown me the way

I was found counting, those sparkles
Twinkling, winkling and blinking at me
So vividly…

O and darling
Oh, baby I am asking
would you, would you be my love
would you be my Love
Forever would you be, would you be my love

I‘ll buy candy 
I’ll buy dinner
I will hold your hand
Tell you you’re so grand, (you’re grand)
And in the end
There’s no end
Cause in the end
All you’ll have is me eternally
More than anything
My special wish would be
Would you be my love Oh, please?
Would you be my love?
Oh! Baby please maybe

O and darling
Oh, baby I am asking
would you, would you be my love
would you be my Love
Forever would you be, would you be my love

That shown me the way
To the Midnight star light
It is the midnight star
Until the night came

I was found counting, those sparkles
Twinkling, winkling and blinking at me
So vividly… don't you see I want you to be
Won't you be my love

O and darling
Oh, baby I am asking
would you, would you be my love
would you be my Love
Forever would you be, would you be my love

Premium Member Sunday School Lovers-

We were young 
just having fun... together playing
 We got older and a little bolder we were swinging (I pushed you on the swing)
We were just two love birds flying in the wind 
We went to Sunday school together, thanking God 
For all He is...

Sunday school lovers,
Sister and brother
Promises of Hope Grace abundance 
Our Soul dance

We were friends just  until we got older (older)
Then once again those urges prompted me to say would you be my girlfriend 
And we were then more than just mere friends,  even then I held you by your shoulders
Future tense future tense, I really feel I believe we are, we are soul mates

We are just two lovebirds doves flying in the wind
Oh! and how our hearts do tug from the joy of love we bring
As children we went to Sunday school together praising God and singing hymns
And now that we are older girl we are now exchanging vows

Sunday school lovers (Sunday school lovers)
Sisters and brother
Promises of Hope Grace
Evermore fulfilling this space
Ooh!  you're my soulmate, you're my soul mate this I can relate 

You are sweeter than my favorite cake
Ooh la la   you're my soulmate,  soul mate this can say I won't hesitate 
You're my soulmate you're my soulmate this I can this I say,  I can see 
There's nobody else in this world I want to be with
Oh! woo oh a oh oh

 Sunday school lover
 Sister and brother
Hallelujah

Premium Member I Would Rather Be a Doorkeeper In the House of My God

I..
I
 I... I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
Than to pull the tail of an of a rapid diseased dog;
Be a doorkeeper, Greet all the sinless people;
Praise the Lord

Covet not, rooms of sins;
Remember what you've been taught
And what ya should believe in;
Mansions of deployed decay set in;
Pestilence, violent house of despair;
no one worthy, worthy
no one cares

I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
Than to pull the tail of an of a rapid diseased dog;
Be a doorkeeper, Greet all the sinless people;
Praise the Lord

Romans just being kind;
Corinthian Paul has said
NO room for disorder;
No room for sin
Hand me that brush so that I may paint a blessing;
I am not enticed by your dissension, oh did I mention. . .

I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
Than to pull the tail of an of a rapid diseased dog;
Be a doorkeeper, Greet all the sinless people;
Praise the Lord

Holes in the foundations;
House sinking fast
Flood is filling waters coming up to the windows 
While your sipping on your flask
you look all around you  and no one, no one worthy no one cares;

Romans just being kind;
Corinthian Paul has said
NO room for disorder;
No room for sin
Hand me that brush so that I may paint a blessing;
I am not enticed by your dissension, oh did I mention. . .

 I..
I
 I... I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
Than to pull the tail of an of a rapid diseased dog;
Be a doorkeeper, Greet all the sinless people;
Praise the Lord

The Lord gave me a letter
And it's in the wind
Floating on angels wings
Yes, My God delivering
A letter, letter in the wind
Lord give me a letter
So that I can feel better
Write me a note, that I can sing
Give me continents
For I will forever, ever I'll be standing on your promises

Write me a song so that I can sing

So that  I can help my sisters and brothers
So that I can feel better

Premium Member The Love We Have Inside

Verse 1
The greatest gift is love
Inside all of us
Is the power to reach one and another
Every sister and every brother
Of us we need to cover
Convey for this is the way, Jesus does day, this
So that He may show the Father

Chorus
The love we have inside
We should not leave nor hide
It's a beautiful thing
Just under are the wings
The wings above are those of love
As angels we can fly
We can fly, we can fly
We must never, ever leave nor hide

Verse 2
Show someone else that you care
You're praying for them even if you can't always be there
With 
god on your side
You no longer have to hide
Just relax, breathe, be still and abide
The greatest gift is love and inside all of us it lives, it does. . .
This love, the love we have inside

Chorus
The love we have inside
We should not leave nor hide
It's a beautiful thing
Just under are the wings
The wings above are those of love
As angels we can fly
We can fly, we can fly
We must never, ever leave nor hide

Verse 3
We let God in us His spirit covers us
No matter what type of mischievous deviations surrounds us..
Actions and notions I now see my true devotions
Let me inside your tent
For this is God accomplishments
For us to build this covenant with Him, in Him
Such a beautiful thing to be under His wing
along with the angels we'll sing. . .

Chorus
The love we have inside
We should not leave nor hide
It's a beautiful thing
Just under are the wings
The wings above are those of love
As angels we can fly
We can fly, we can fly
We must never, ever leave nor hide
Nevermore, no not you nor I denied or hide
