The night knows all the lovers dreams
searching for a sign from all the stars,
just to express their love to you.
My silly heart showed all it’s scars.
And you pretending not to care,
while your face betraying how you feel.
My heart now begging to be loved,
just to show you it does not conceal.
You wouldn't know joy
if it crawled up
and laid in your lap.
It is right in front of
you,
but you'll never know.
Just pay attention,
and it'll show.
Sit, now put yourself in neutral, a car is there to drive
So listen very carefully if you want to stay alive
Don't tap out an email or look to check your hair
Or drag a last ciggie or change the station that's on air
Distraction is a killer, so pay attention to the road
Do yourself a favour and follow the highway code.
Many days to live
Plenty things to overcome
Plenty mistakes to be corrected
As season's passes by
More mistakes to make
If you ain't paying attention.
You will meet different people
Within your circle
Different foundation and education
Attitude, habits and behavior
Another class
Pay attention or regret your mistakes.
Don't be timid
Don't be desperate
Don't be mediocre
Never settle for less
Be grateful
Gratitude open doors.

How weird it is
All around the planet are pyramids
Yet we don't understand it fully, this makes me curious
The reason for their construction must've been serious
It makes me a bit furious
That I can't figure it out and nearly go delirious
Much of it I've questioned
Not to mention
The concept of dimensions
As well as prior civilizations with more advanced inventions
It's all beyond my own personal comprehension
It brings me some tension
No matter how much I pay attention
I still can't make the connection
In all totality
When you look beyond reality
You may lose some sanity
With the change in mentality
Snaked tongued people that are wicked
Hard to trust what they've depicted
Difficult to say what has existed
Then you got all these cryptids
All over the globe, pictures printed and writings listed
Was there ever such a thing as witches
Or is it all fiction
Like making wishes
Too many burnt bridges
Too many coverups involved with riches
Too many hearts colder than a fridge is
SADLY, I SIT IN MY BEDROOM
MY TEARS ROLLING DOWN MY CHEEKS
THINKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE I'VE LOST
AND I HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF THEM IN WEEKS
IT SEEMS LIKE MY MINDS BEEN ON AUTO DRIVE
THE DAYS WERE JUJST PASSING BY
I LOOK BACK TO TRY TO SEE A MEMORY
BUT THERE'S NOTHING, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
I KNOW I'VE GONE HERE AND DONE THIS OR THAT
THEY WERE JUST REGULAR THINGS I HAD TO DO
BUT WHERE WAS MY LIFE OF ANY SUBSTANCE
WHAT THOUGHTS OR EMOTIONS DID I GO THROUGH?
I'VE REALLY NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION
TO MYSELF OR MY LIFE AS IT IS
I NEED TO BE MORE IN THE PRESENT
BEFORE ANY MORE DAYS GO BY IN A WHIZ!
There must be misconception with all this
Perpetual deception.
There must be a new order
Stealing all our sons and daughters.
There must be a definitive line
Separating that which shines.
There must be a wave of confusion
Most of what we see is an optical illusion.
There must be someone teaching
But all I hear is false preaching.
There must be storms in the air
But no one seems to care.
There must be great dissatisfaction
Keeping most filled with distractions.
But…There must be a fresh sound
Delivering those who are bound.
There must be healing rain
Because all of this cannot be in vain.
There must be a shift in direction
It's time for a personal resurrection.
There must be another dimension
To arrest our spiritual attention.
Stop, pause, open up your ears
You are constantly being pumped with irrational fears
Wake, arise, uncover your eyes
For too long you have been hypnotized.
Breathe, exhale, You will not fail
You're the head and not the tail
You're the head and not the tail.

Here lies Harry Allen McGruder
He passed when he wrecked his scooter
He waved his goodbye,
While fixing his tie
They buried him in satin and pewter.

Do we truly know all they mean
We travel the distance
Without resistance
Entering time
Where the heart controls our minds
Faith grew strong
Jesus helped us all the long
Taking us to places he has been
Flowing freely as the water of his stream
Perfect harmony
In the heart of God Army
Patience of peace
God shall increase
Love with all your heart
There we are never apart
To all unbelievers
God held believers
To help you see
God lives within thee
He created the seeds
So others could believe
Growing in unity
Our faith holds eternity
The veil is there for a powerful reason,
And yet some of us can see what prances from the other side
Through automatic writing and psychometry
We can immediately feel loved or frightened.
It is best to not intentionally pull back the curtain
Unless you are a shaman or wise woman with roots
That are deep, clear, open to unthought of possibilities,
And you are willing to face the consequences
Many of us can travel to the otherworld in our dreams
Some go nightly. Astral travelers
Yet do we remember in the morning?
Often if we have not developed language of this lifetime yet
The veil is there not as a warning
But as a protection
When we sense something is wrong
The warnings come from beyond the veil; pay attention.
Your spirit guides might be trying to save your life.
Of course, the demons use this avenue too.
This is when you really need to listen to your internal feelings.
Carry me away angel.
By your side, I'll fly.
With wings spread out, so beautifully.
Onto the next life.
We both look back at loved ones
Who are waiting for their turn
To meet our heavenly Father
And all of his children.
We shall hold hands together
While standing close we watch.
My family pay attention
Ill be present
in your thoughts.
Dreams are my way.
Of trying to, communicate.
In morning light try remembering
Each msg I send each day.
PAY ATTENTION AND GIVE PRAISES TO GOD
Never let it be said
That it's all in your head
Allow yourself to be brief
Give off that quick relief
Praise God
Never let it be done
The work you've just begun
And allow yourself
That second breath
Give praises to God

J-ust pay attention to love,
O-pening up your heart;
A-llow affection to bring
N-othing but a fresh start.
P-ay attention to faith,
A-im at the trust in the Father;
D-ay thirteen of July
I-s sharing the Lord's power.
L-ook at the ray of hope,
L-isten to the beat of devotion;
A-s the message is conveyed, learn to pay attention.
Another candle-lit eve
brimming with flowers and stuffed things
tin tears and puffy prayers
fiery speeches from cherry-tongued preachers
all the while the hollow-eyed ogre smirks.
Waves of:
blame
the gun
ratatatat
blame
the man
ratatatat
blame
society
ratatatat
blame
our faulty, faded genes...
ratatatat
Nothing ever gets done,
they're Numb to the origins of carnage and blood.
Thinking it will never happen to us.
But there's a pair of snake eyes
in the back of every school bus.
Do not deny there were always clear signs.
There are always signs
Please pay attention to the signs!
Please pay attention
Get off of the cell phone
Prevent disaster from happening
Always stay on the horn
Travels should be handled with care
Move forward cautiously
Manage your time wisely
Safety should be everyone's top priority
