Teach Your Children

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN
Teach your children right from wrong
Help them sing a happy song
Always love them for who they are
Don’t try to make them into a star
Children are sent from heaven above
To be taught,cherished and loved
And soon we will all understand
All a child needs is a guiding hand
They’ll always remember the days of old
And it will be forever engraved in gold
That their parents helped through it all
And picked them up when they would fall

Story of a Green Beret

Don’t see the soldiers as they move around,
Through the jungle without a sound,
Crawl along this wet,cold ground,
These american boys are victory bound.
Fighting a war they believe is right,
No end is near no end in sight,
One more day one more fight,
See the tunnel but see no light.
Lay me down to get some sleep,
In your dreams the battle seeps,
Mountains high and valleys deep,
What you sow is what you reap.
Visit graves where buddies lay,
Fought for freedom the american way,
War still haunts you night and day,
This is the story of a green beret.

Dear Dad

DEAR DAD
Here is a poem from you children and wife.
Hoping we can make it without you in our life
Missing you more as the time goes by,
We know you pray for us in your home in the sky.
We think about you often and start to feel sad,
Then we pray and thank God for you dad.
A lot of events are coming up to fast,
Memories of birthdays other things that will last.
Your not with us yes we all know,
But our memories of you will always grow.
We remember the laughter you took away our fears,
We know someday we’ll meet without any tears.

I Got You

I GOT YOU
I remember how you told me our love affair had to end
We couldn’t be lovers we could only be friends
I was so afraid I was not able to sleep at night
I had to do something to make you see the light
I was so broken hearted I couldn’t really think
I tried to make you go away with just one more drink
But you stayed on my mind no matter what I tried
Finally I just gave up and laid down and cried
But I kept the faith hoping you would understand
And see hoe much I cared and take my hand
I tried to be funny used all the cool lines
Hoping you would come back,it didn’t take much time
And now we are together you are so much of my life
I’ll never forget the day we became husband and wife

Nevada Gold

Nevada Gold
Well I’ve got that roaming fever don’t know what to do
Last time I had it I looked just like a fool
But there’s gold in nevada enough for every man
All you need is a pick-ax a shovel and a pan
After four months on the trail I finally staked my claim
If I don’t get rich I’m the only one to blame
All I have to do is work hard and don’t go out at night
But all those saloons and dance halls are a friendly sight
After Four months of digging I have lots of gold
Now stay away from town is what I was told
But a few little drinks and a girl by my side
Do a little gambling and come back here and hide
Well I learned my lesson dancing with the woman of a jelious man
Instead of trying to fight I should have turned around and ran
He drew his gun faster now I’m dying on the floor
I guess this is the end I won’t be roaming any more

Flower Child

t’s a little too late with too much hate,
In this world we’re living.
People don’t take the time to hear freedom bells chime,
It’s all taking and no giving.
Now we need a flower child to make it a little better.
Say you’ve paid your dues gonna sing the blues,
That’s what it’s all about.
You say a prayer tonight hoping you’ll see the light,
Then you just scream and shout.
If you know a flower child would you go and get her?
Through thousands of years and millions of tears,
Human respect is stalling.
Because you want you way,got to have it every day,
That is why mankind is falling.
Find us a flower child and send her a letter.
We need to be kind I know the people won’t mind,
They say pray without cease.
So don’t forget the past cause the future won’t last,
All we need is love and peace.
When we find a flower child we can work it out together!

Old Soldier

OLD SOLDIER
When I was seventeen I was free and wild as hell
By the time I was eighteen strong and tough as nails
Decided on my birthday I’d say hello to Uncle Sam
My friends thought I was crazy,but I didn’t give a damn
Walking through the mountains made me think of home
Like when I was younger through the woods I’d roam
But then the day happened I had to kill a man
Then I became a soldier stuck in a foreign land
Back in those days I didn’t care if I lived or died
But many times since then I’ve broken down and cried
Still hear those sounds that haunt me through the night
Open my eyes and pray,let me live through this fight

Glow In Your Eyes

GLOW IN YOUR EYES
(VERSE 1 )
It’s late at night
But the moon just ain’t as bright
As the glow in your eyes
I love you best
Forgot about all the rest
Because I see the glow in your eyes
( CHORUS )
And I feel so safe and warm
As we lay in each others arms
And I kiss your tender lips
You touch me with your finger tips
Then I see the glow in your eyes
Glow in your eyes In your eyes
( VERSE 2 )
We touch and then
We are making love again
And that glow shows in your eyes
Now it’s time to sleep
My sweet princess just go to sleep
Tomorrow I’ll see the glow in your eyes
( CHORUS )
( VERSE 3 )
You hold me near
No place I’d rather be than here
Remembering the glow in your eyes
Such a beautiful sight
Thank you for shining your light
And putting a glow in my eyes
Yea you put a glow in my eyes
We have a glow in our eyes
( CHORUS )

Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve
Back in the beginning
Serpent came a grinning
Told Eve that he had a big surprise
Adam said don’t take it
But Eve went and ate it
Forbidden fruit was sure to open their eyes
God came a calling
Said you are a falling
They had to leave Eden that day
Serpent was the winner
Turned them into a sinner
But it just had to be that way
Now start believing
Satan is decieving
We learned it right from the start
So if you hear him
Man don’t you fear him
Make sure Jesus is in you heart

Fate

FATE
(VERSE 1)
Fate will come after you
Better watch what you say and do
Fate don’t care who you are
A poor man or a superstar
Fate treats us all the same
Don’t matter a bit about your name
Fate can help you to survive
Or it can take over your life
(CHORUS)
Why can’t we just look and see
People just want to be free
Why the hell can’t we just take the time
To make our little light shine
(VERSE 2)
Fate will get you in the end
So don’t depend on a friend
Fate is not hard to understand
Some people will take it by the hand
Fate will reach us all some day
You just can’t get out of it’s way
Fate will have the last call
If you look away you may fall
(CHORUS)
Why can’t we just look and see
People just want to be free
Why the hell can’t we just take the time
To make our little light shine.
