UNCOVER



Get back to who you are
When you could barely reach the keys
But when you did the music was so sweet

Uncover who you really are
You're more than just a star
You are the sun and the universe move for you

You got to be a Princess before you become a Queen
So be that Princess you're meant to be
And just sing for everybody

Uncover who you really are
Show that true beauty that no one sees
No need to prove it externally

Be just like the Beautiful One
Just feel the love
And become that next one

Uncover who you really are
You come so fair
Because the music is who you are

MANIPULATION

Forget all history it didn't happen that way
That is what they say
No one ever owned you we were all naturally free
That is what they believe
Even when you were borne here your still from a different land
But they say you’re not really a man

Manipulation of history
It is meant to deceive
Just so they can take everything

Why do we pray for innocent blood spilt on guilty ground
If a mother's cries are not heard did it really make a sound
Blamed for being a victim and the punishment is death
How did we get here when it is the past we forget

Manipulation of justice
In peace we will march
They will call it society's destruction

You accomplish so much but it isn't enough
Even if you’re a leader of the free world it is tough
The good that you do to them it is the worst you could do
But when they talk about it they sound so foolish

Manipulation of lies
With their pointed muzzle and bushy tail
Make you into the worst kind of believer

The preacher will say the one up high wants me to have all the gold
The congregation will pay him till their poor
Without any food for the soul
He'll say the proof is in the good book
They will believe even when he doesn't know

Manipulation of souls
One day he might burn or just left out in the cold

To know what it is like to be alone

CROSSROADS BLUES



Got no compassion doing the devil's deeds
If you got dreams at the crossroads, where you can meet

Feeds you those deep fried southern lies
You've eaten them so many times, lost your pride

Got no faith when the devil moved in
It got up out of there never to be seen again

Have a million dollars but nothing to spend it on
You sold that one part that makes you who you are
Now there is nothing in your heart

Got no friends that's when the devil comes in
He puts on his smile knowing your contact date is coming due

Now you're trapped as the music goes out of tune
Losing your fame and you don't know what to do

Your living the crossroads blues

MUCH LOVE

Not a reason for possession
Not a reason just for physical interaction

Much love
Not an activity just for fun

Its a feeling that makes you blind
Its a feeling bring out the passion inside

Much love
In the air it comes from above

Not a reason to lie
Not a reason to hide

Much love
Not reason to keep it inside

Its a feeling when your smelling the flower
Its a feeling of creative power

Much love
It inspires makes life so much higher

Not a reason to brag who you are doing
Not a reason not about proving something

Much love
Not about taking more about giving

Its a feeling for us all
Its a feeling that makes us strong

Much love
Its a living song

ADDICTION OF THE SOUL

There is a path to a garden of knowledge
With many kinds of plants and flowers
The path has so many twist and turns
It takes a life time to get there

Life is not a race we each live at our own pace
There are some people so cool they leave to soon
Some people later in life are just getting out of school

The same inspiration we are all striving for
When we get it we crave for more
Got to hold it deep down in the core
Can't go with out it
It's addiction of the soul

There is a path that I am on don't know where it leads
You might want to fallow along
When the winds are in the trees
We each hear a different song

Life is for living and we all should be giving
Some give so much all they want is nothing but love
There are some who hold back their heart its trapped

What we crave is the attention of the one
Lost in tears we look up to the stars, moon and sun
You can walk you don't have to run
It will be there when you need it
It's addiction of the soul

There is a path of light
You have the direction deep inside
You have the third eye as a guide
No one can tell you the direction is wrong or right

Life is not for the lonely
You feel the world is coming down around you
You need to get away from the stress

If you give respect you'll get respect
If you give love you'll get love
If you need to know more
That's addiction of the soul

RING


A dedication to more than a thing
More than a passion or a feeling
Beyond a thought or a dream
Something deep down you truly need

A new path in life a new light
Fighting past the wrong to get to the right

Ring
A dedication to more than a thing
Love and lust don't mix
It just complicates humanity
Just keeps us from truly being free

Got to dream before you believe
Got to sing before you dance
Got to be a boy before your a man

Ring
A dedication to more than a thing
A reminder of the love in your heart
A completion to a bigger part
Eternity is where it starts

One knowledge
One voice
One soul
It is all that any one needs to know
You got a life time to achieve your goals
This is the one time you learn your a soul

Ring
A dedication to more than a thing
With no beginning no ending
Given to you to hold
To remind you, you are a eternal soul

This ring is yours

PRETTY MISS



Pretty miss
Came from the East Side of town
With the hoods she would hang around
No good was going down

Pretty miss
All the guys would chase her for a kiss
But they take more than she gives

Such a smart girl
She could have had the world
With a rep she can't live down
She has stop going out

Pretty miss
Living in a box
Holding in her emotions
Believing all the lies that go around

Pretty miss
Make some kind of decision
Get some kind of direction

Lesten to your heart
Let it show you how far you can go
Never let go

IT'S GONE


She didn't know what she had
Now it's gone
She didn't see what everyone had seen
Now it's gone
She changed and claimed it out of pain
Now it's gone

He didn't know what he had
Now it's so sad
He didn't see what others had seen
Now it's so sad
He had changed what he had
Now it's gone

They changed what they had
Now they've gone mad
It's so sad
Now it's gone

They made others feel real
Now what do they have that's real?
Never knew what they had

Now it's gone

THE DEATH OF A MISS.



Man and Mother Nature
Come to fight in her waters
No one wins everyone losses
Life and death
Lurk just below her brown darkness
Everything is in her waters
From mud to oil
To cancer to blood
She is not just a river
She is life
She is love
Man wants to control her
He will kill her or she will kill him
Show respect to her
Give her a chance
Let her be cleansed
And be fresh again
With water
There is life

PRAYER AT NOON





Prayer at noon

I would go…(some times)

Prayer at noon

Every day this week

Prayer at noon

Mothers bring their children.

Kneeling at the pews

They would poke their heads up.

At the noise of someone entering

Prayer at noon

The mumble of separate prayers

Leave it to GOD

To sort them out

Prayer at noon

PATTERNS OF LOVE



Patterns of love
Going up and down Leaving shattered hearts in its path

Patterns of love
Finding someone to trust
Been hurt more than once Still searching for that perfect one

Patterns of love
Mending hearts
That wasn’t good enough
Stop looking for that lust

Patterns of love
Push to the side
Told another lie
Just one try

Patterns of love Is there any one for me
