no one else to blame

"this rose will never die, this rose will never die..."

-Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens)


dont find another
work it out with each other
why fade away
when you promised to stay

so much harder to form anew
and confuse lust for loves due
no one else to blame
for what your hands break in shame

so fleeting is life
no reason to add to the strife
make steps forward sure
than to live with too much cure

be made by another

it doesnt matter the song
or how long
the tune does endure
it matters that we voice it pure

that we all should lift up our voice
and not let our choice
be made by another
the song of our own heart must thunder

come and sing with me
all who would be free
all who cherish the light
of a life lived burning bright

hold not to treasures

"so get gassed in your garage of sickness
as I bring a little swinging into your world of stiffness"

-Kid Rock


what have we to worry
when there is no hurry
the pale rider does know
when its his time to show

love all that you can
help all that you can
hold not to treasures
or vain empty pleasures

the soul that stands longest
is the heart that beats strongest
the mind that will just be
is the spirit that does fly free

in the great giving

'i'm gonna keep on trucking till i fall into motion...'

-Kid Rock

There is room at the table
for all that are able
to make their way there
to overcome their despair

there is plenty in the feast
none shall have least
in the great giving
all are worth saving

tis only our self-pity
that keeps us from joining the dity
we all have a voice
& we all have a choice

how really good we can be

i will make a stand
and rise above the ban
i will not give in
to what is popular again

we want everyone to know
and we want to show
how really good we can be
how kind and loving are we

but its more of the same
its really only a game
we still think we are slick
when we repackage an old trick
