Giulded

My feet they are a stinkin,
My teeth and fingers stained,
I've been doing a lot of thinking,
 And i think i've gone insane.
My hands they are a shakin,
  My hair and face are long,
I've been doing a lot of drinking,
And i feel i can't go on.
My eye's they are wide open,
My truth's and faulse are deep,
I've been doing a lot of praying,
Because i just can't fall to asleep.
Yet, i stop and wonder,
Is it really all just me?
I've seen all the destruction,
And the air is unsafe to breath,
My food supply is poisoned,
My waste pollutes the sea,
My protection is the delusion,
Give back my cherry tree.

Thank You Sweet

See how spooked i get, when there's nothing going on.
It must have something to do with, when i'm not, i get spit on.
I can't remember the last time i was at ease.
Thank you sweet Lord for these leaves.
Life now it's not always fair, it can get pretty rough.
And when i get to feeling down, my friend's, they pick me up.
You know i want what i want, then i get what i need.
Thank you Lord for these sweet leaves.
Looking back on my life, you know i have lauphed and i have cried.
The war it makes me angry!, i kneel down the sky's so wide.
Then i think it matters not, because i know that she believes.
Thank you sweet Lord for these leaves.
Listen all you people, i'm begging hear me please.
You have to know who's your friend and reconize your enemy.
The languages and the colors, they don't mean a thing to me.
Thank you Lord for these sweet leaves.
Now all you starving artist, keep on shaking the tree.
The music's going to save us, true love's our destiny.
This songs rhyme's and lyric's, they go on endlessly.
Thank you sweet Lord for these leaves.

'inbetween'

A song between songs,

   it is all wrong,

bend, twist, pretend, forget,

far beyond, to far fetched,

   it never ends

     'inbetween'

A song between songs,

   its all mixed up,

Imformation,opinions, right or wrong,

 another step when lines are drawn,

   it's gone on for so long

        'inbetween'

A song between songs,

 it is all right,

 dance sing shine your light,

  here it starts from within,

   it can't be wrong,

  never give up,

   don't give in

    stand up,

     we will win,

       no matter what,

There is no end,
          or
    'inbetween'
