I can't write for shit. If I could, this is what I'd dedicate.....
anything by JJ Cale.


Whippoorwills singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in new orleans
I left down in new orleans
Magnolia, you sweet thing
Youre driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
Youre the best I ever had
Youre the best I ever had
You whisper good morning
So gently in my ear
Im coming home to you, babe
Ill soon be there
Ill soon be there


J. J. Cale lyrics

Has anyone ever written anything for you
In all your darkest hours
Have you ever heard me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know


Has anyone ever given anything to you
In your darkest hours
Did you ever give it back
Well, I have
I have given that to you
If it's all I ever do
This is your song


And the rain comes down
There's no pain and there's no doubt
It was easy to say
I believed in you everyday
If not for me
Then do it for the world


Has anyone ever written anything for you
In your darkest sorrow
Did you ever hear me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know


So, if not for me, then
Do it for yourself
If not for me then
Do it for the world
Poet...priest of nothing
Poet...priest of nothing

I can't write either, but here's to Shausler...

i don't know why but this song instantly started playing in my mind (i've also been listening to it for the past few days)

When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Please don't wake me, no
don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find, there's no need

Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling

Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Please don't wake me, no
don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping

stare beyond the silver lining
of a cloud where I once lived;
looking foward to the past
not the same before or since;
don't know where I've been
or where I need to go;
begging you to say yes
knowing you'll say no;
Am I who I am
what did I used to be;
is someone somewhere
smilling for me....

I'm talking to angels
I'm listening to what they're saying to me
I'm talking to angels
I'm listening to what they're saying....

Perfecto!

Okay...

Running, like a horse between the trees
the ground beneath my feet
gives me something to hold on to

with the reins around my heart
guided by hands that spread life before my very eyes

and every hope falls down on its knees in time
but I'm no longer lost
every day, every second, every hour inside
love's my only guide

are these the years for laughter and forgetting...?

All Love- Ziggy Marley

There's something going on over there
there's something going on over there
but there's something going on right here, and it's our life
I see some boogie, out of their shoes
some just grooving, grooving to the groove
I am skanking, skanking loose
but we're all doing the same thing
It's just all love
got to be all love
it's just all love
that's right, all love
Wake up your love in the morning
wake up your love in the night
Shape up the love, shape up the love in the morning
shape up that love tonight
There's something going on over there
well there's something going on over there
but there's something happening right here
it's our life, I and, I and I life
some smile all the time, some a pop, pop till you drop
do a steady rock, rock steady easy
'cause we're in the same thing
It's just all love
got to be all love, tonight
it's all love
people give it, all love, now, what what
Shake up this place let the earth quake
wake up this place let the earth vibrate
shake up this place let the earth quake
wake up this place let the earth vibrate
'cause there's something going on

Well there's something wrong going on over there
and there's something wrong, way, way, way, way, way back there
but there's something right, right here
it's our life, I and I life
All love
I'm giving it, all love
I don't, I don't know that, all love
I'm giving it, all love
I can't hold back, all love
tonight, it's just all love, alright
all love
don't hold back, all love
There's something happening right here
there's something happening right here
there's something happening right here
all love, all love, all love, that's what going on, all love

Lyrics for Waiting On A Friend
performed by The Rolling Stones
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)


Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Don't need a whore
I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

ugg! I'm working early, and leave it up to the rest of you, to follow up...

When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

I'm stuck on Ziggy tonight

Make Some Music
Ziggy Marley

Love is a melody playing through eternity, making sweet songs all night long
stay in the groove, we can't refuse when the rhythm is tight we'll be up all night
the perfect tune we make for life beats that vibrate moods that excite
instruments tuned, harmonies right
love is the song we make tonight

Come on baby lets make some music, this is the groove and that's how I do it
come on baby lets make some music, cause you know how, how to do it

Thinking of lyrics I could sing, but I know they must come from within
can't rush music got to take it slow keep in the groove till it starts to flow
hit the right tempo then you know, this song is not for the show

( Chorus )

It's a beautiful thing the way you hit the way we swing
the way we rock this groove
now we're going to the roots, now we're going to the roots
hey It's a beautiful thing the way we hit the way we swing
the way we rock this groove
now we're going to the roots, now we're going to the roots

( Chorus )

It's your thing, do what you wanna do.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to.
It's your thing, do what you wanna do.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to.

If you want me to love you, maybe I will.
Believe me woman, it ain't no big deal.
You need love now, just as bad as I do.
Make's me no difference now, who you give your thing to.

It's your thing, do what you wanna do.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to.
It's your thing, do what you wanna do.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to.

[Instrumental]

It's your thing, do what you wanna do.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to.
It's your thing, do what you wanna do.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to.

I'm not trying to run your life,I know you wanna do what's right.
Give your love now, to whoever you choose.
How can you love, with the stuff you use now.

It's your thing, do what you wanna do.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to.
It's your thing, do what you wanna do.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to.

It's your thing, do what you wanna do.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to.
It's your thing, do what you wanna do.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to.

Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
Something 2 believe in
a reason 2 believe that there's a heaven above
Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
Everybody's looking 4
Everybody's looking 4
Everybody's looking 4 love

Everybody wants 2 find the perfect 1
Someone that makes u happy
someone that makes u laugh when u want 2 cry

Everybody wants to find the perfect 1
Everybody's looking 4
Everybody's looking 4
Everybody's looking 4 love

The love of a boy, the love of a girl
The love that comes from a warm heart in a cold cold world
Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
Something 2 believe in
a reason 2 believe that there's a heaven above

Everybody's looking 4
Everybody's looking 4
Everybody's looking 4 love

Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
(people throw away your arms of fire)
A bridge that leads
A bridge that leads them 2 a love they know is real
(let democracy take u higher)
Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge

Everybody's looking 4 (if you believe)
Everybody's looking 4 (wave your hands)
Everybody's looking 4 love (on the power of love)

(Love is shining)

(everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge)

There's a future (sure, you're right)
a future worth fighting 4
I'm a living witness
Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
Ooo, everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright

Everybodys looking 4
Everybodys looking 4
Everybodys looking 4 love

There is a future (a future worth fighting 4)
Worth fighting 4
Yes it is, I know it is
Everything will be alright

when this thread came up- i thought of - i wish u heaven- by prince, but wasnt sure if we were allowed to post

so instead, i dedicate the following classic:

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one


I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say I'm
a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
- john lennon

shausler- u rock

So long ago
Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me
Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain
Two spirits dancing so strange
Ah! bÃwakawa poussÃ, poussÃ

Dream, dream away
Magic in the air, was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say, what more can I say?
On a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding
Ah! bÃwakawa poussÃ, poussÃ

Im an orange moon
Im an orange moon
Reflecting the light of the sun
Many nights he was alone
Many many many nights
His light was too bright so they truned away and he
Stood along every night and every day

Then he turned to me he saw his
Reflection in me and he smiled at me
When he turned to me
Then he said to me
How good it is, how good it is, how
Good it is, how good it is

Im an orange moon
Im brighter than before
Brighter than ever before
Im an orange moon and I shine so
Bright cause I reflect the light
Of my sun

I praise the day he turned my way
And smiled at me
He gets to smile and I get to be
Orange that I love to be

How good it is (8x)
Shine so bright
He rules the day, Ill rule the night
Shine shine shine
How good it is (6x)
How good he is
How God he is

I would like to post a video, shausler man you are it

Be Willing

Be willing to achieve what suits your heart
Be willing to begin leaving your mark
Dig out your buried treasure
Your work of art
And nothing will ever stand between
Heaven and your heart
Be willing to attain your freedom from
Hatred and bitterness then carry on
A masterpiece of promise is what you are
And never let nothing stand between
Heaven and your heart
Be willing to forgive an oversight!
Be willing to explore what doesn’t bite
Fearlessness is a fountain
That redecorates the dark
And nothing will ever stand between
Heaven and your heart

I can't write! But I think Shausler is AWESOME!!!
