I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like that river I've been running ever since It's been a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky It's been a long, a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will And then I go to see my brother And I ask him to help me please And he just winds up knockin' me Back down on my knees There were times when I thought I couldn't last for long But now I think I'm able to carry on It's been a long, been a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will "Did u love somebody
But got no love in return? Did u understand the real meaning of love? That it just is and never yearns" ...Prince | |

You never had a dream like this, never felt the cold cold steel
Slam you like a fist, break you down until you kneel Just like a beggar man, asking only for redemption All the things that can make a man believe in heaven Fix your eyes upon the bars, memorize their other side Like the tattoos on your arms, the brag so loud and tough that night But now the truth comes out, fast as fear can do your talking It sets you free as one guard shouts, "dead man walking" When neither light nor darkness, when neither night or day When neither kind nor heartless, when neither lost or saved When neither still or moved, when neither held or free Oh, to be so human Dead man walking When neither light nor darkness, when neither night or day When neither kind nor heartless, when neither lost or saved When neither still or moved, when neither held or free Oh, to be so human, oh to be Somewhere in a dream like this where light of love leads us home Broken worlds will not be fixed, if vengeance take us as thy own We're just like beggars now, on our knees we hear our names God forgives somehow, we have yet to learn the same Mary Chapin Carpenter - A Dream Like This Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity | |

Moderator | I got the call today, I didn’t wanna hear
But I knew that it would come An old, true friend of ours was talkin’ on the phone She said you’d found someone And I thought of all the bad luck, And the struggles we went through And how I lost me and you lost you What are these voices outside love’s open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more? I’m learning to live without you now But I miss you sometimes The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I knew, I’m learning again I’ve been tryin’ to get down To the heart of the matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it’s about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore These times are so uncertain There’s a yearning undefined And people filled with rage We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age? The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness They’re the very things - we kill I guess Pride and competition Cannot fill these empty arms And the work I put between us You know it doesn’t keep me warm I’m learning to live without you now But I miss you, baby And the more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I’d figured out I have to learn again I’ve been trying to get down To the heart of the matter But everything changes And my friends seem to scatter But I think it’s about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore There are people in your life who’ve come and gone They let you down you know they hurt your pride You better put it all behind you baby; life goes on You keep carryin’ that anger; it’ll eat you up inside, baby I’ve been trying to get down To the heart of the matter But my will gets weak And my thought seem to scatter But I think it’s about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don’t love me I’ve been tryin’ to get down To the heart of the matter Because the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter So I’m thinkin’ about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don’t love me Forgiveness Forgiveness - baby Forgiveness Forgiveness Forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, you don’t love me anymore In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

TRAVELLING - CASTLE
Travelling space and time, swooping down from skies Fourth-dimension crime, fields of hope the prize Inner states of pain, overwhelming memory With an immense strain, I forget the Prophecy Nights are unpredictable, fear or restless nights Staying awake is umbearable, maybe I should enter the light Leaving... When I was Young and believed in Father The world did seem so small and old Sands of time won't go further All my dreams have been sold No one imagines, what I feel clawing fright... Enter light, meet the One, travelling: the first time I will fight, fear is gone, the second time Growing might, all is done, the third time End in sight, nearly won, enter the Fourth Dimension!! Travelling, searching the Light All my efforts were in vain, I can see it plain There will be no reward, death is near, life is short Always heading to the light I am TRAVELLING | |
