For the loved one's we loose

sigh sad cry




I wish,I wish,I wish
(To every city,every hood
and every block)
I wish,I wish
(Ghetto America)
I wish,I wish,I wish,
I wish,I wish,I wish


Rollin' through the hood
Just stopped to say what's up
And let you know your baby
boy aint doin' so tough
Even though you passed
Going on four long years
Still waking up late at night
cryin' tears
just thinkin' about those days
You used to talk to me
Smilin' while I'm sippin'on
this Hennessy
And remember we'd brag on
how rich we would be
To get out this hood was
like a fantasy

And now you hear my songs
The radio is playin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
and what everybody is sayin'
Boy I tell you folks don't know
the half
I would give it all up just to
take on ride with you
How I used to kick it on the
front porch
With you
And how I used to lay back and
smoke weed
With you
And all the little basement party
joints we'd do
Now I'm just missing you
How I wish

I wish that I could
hold you now
I wish that I could
touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
Even though I can't see
your face
I know you're smilin'
down at me
Sayin' everything's OK
And if I make it out this
thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish,I wish,I wish,
I wish,I wish,I wish

Ever since this money come
It's been nothing but stress
Sometimes I wish that I could
just trade in my success
Y'all look at me and say
Boy,you've been blessed
But y'all don't see the inside of
my unhappiness
Man,I swear this shit gets
heavy like a ton
That's why you hear me
shootin' this real shit off
like a gun
Mmmm I wonder how my friends
would treat me now
If I was iced up with a
Bentley and a house
That's why
Fake-ass niggas
get fake-ass digits
And fake-ass player get a real
player hatin'em
"Honey Love" goes platnium
and y'all ass come 'round
But y'all don't wanna raise
the roof
Until my shit is goin' down


And now you hear my songs
The radio is playin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
and what everybody is sayin'
Boy I tell you folks don't know
the half
I would give it all up just to take
one ride with you
How I used to hoop off in
them to tournaments
With you
And how I used to club hop
on weekends
With you
your family called the morning
of the tragic end
Damn..my condolences

Voices in my head
Be tellin' me to come to church
Say the lord is the only way for
you to stop the hurt
Dreaming of windows
Black-tinted like a hearse
But waking up to life sometimes
seems worse
And all I ever wanted is to be a
better man
And I try to keep it real with my
homies, man
Want me to save the world
I don't understand
How did I become the leader of
a billion fans

And now you hear my songs
The radio is playin'
Oh, I can't believe my ears and
what everybody's sayin'
Boy I tell you folks don't know
the half
I would give it all up just to take
one ride
With you
How I used to street perform
on Friday
With you
and how I'd go to church on
Easter Sunday
With you
Instead of y'all throwin' them
stones at me
Somebody pray for me

I took my love and I took it down

Climbed a mountain and turned around

And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills

'til the landslide brought it down



Oh, mirror in the sky -What is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?

Can I sail through the changin'...ocean tides

Can I handle the seasons of my life?

I don't know.....I don't know



Well I've been afraid of changin'

because I've built my life around you

But time makes you bolder, even children get older

And I'm getting older too....



So, take my love...take it down

Climb a mountain and turn around

and if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills...

well the landslide will bring it down

The landslide will bring it down


(I had always loved this song..Never really took a second to listen to the lyrics...Then tonight I heard a live version of this were Stevie starts of the song by saying "This is for Dad".....well, my grand-mama who I have referenced so often here is slowly getting ready to leave us...and I got the meaning of this song...)

thanks for sharing your song mostbeautiful..i hope you dont mind me sharing mine with you...

My young love said to me "My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind"
And she stepped away from me and this she did say,
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day"

She stepped away from me, and she went thro' the fair.
And fondly I watched her move here and move there.
And then she went homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.

*

Last night she came to me, she came softly in,
So softly she came that her feet made no din.
And she laid her hand on me, and this she did say
"It will not be long love, till our wedding day"

Two pale figures
Ache in silence
Timeless
In the quiet ground
Side by side
In age and sadness

I watched
And acted wordlessly
As piece by piece
You performed your story
Moving through an unknown past
Dancing at the funeral party

Memories of childrens dreams
Lie lifeless
Fading
Lifeless
Hand in hand with fear and shadows
Crying at the funeral party

I heard a song
And turned away
As piece by piece
You performed your story
Noiselessly across the floor
Dancing at the funeral party


cry pray

for 2 people who are very special to me on this, their difficult day

This song everytime I hear it ,it reminds me of the video where the man loses his wife and replays the day over in his head while waiting in the waiting room on news of his wife. This song still makes me cry to this day. Reminds me that everyday I need to let the people who are important in my life know how much I cherish them for no one knows what tomorrow brings.


~~~ A Woman's Work~~~


Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.

Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.

(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said,
That were never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

This is such a beautiful song. Maxwell did a great job covering it, but Kate Bush's version will always get the tears going...

Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Sonnet-The Verve

My friend and me
Looking through her red box of memories
Faded I'm sure
But love seems to stick in her veins you know


Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
My lord


Why can't you see
That nature has its way of warning me
Eyes open wide
Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye


Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
My lord


Sinking faster than a boat without a hull
My lord
Dreaming about the day when I can see you there
My side
By my side


Here we go again and my head is gone, my lord
I stop to say hello
'Cause I think you should know, by now
By now
By now
By now
By now
By now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now

Great Choice of song Lleena, from a fantastic album too!.... Urban Hymns...

You heard the leads singer Richard Ashcroft's Human Conditions? Sound check if

you can... emotional stuff.

It's one of my all time favourite albums! Richard Ashcroft bow

How great is this? A true classic.

"Bittersweet Symphony"

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah,

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
Try to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the things meet yeah

You know I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mold
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you've ever been down?

Very timely.... sigh

One of my mom's best friends, a lifelong family friend, finally died of cancer after years and years of battling it. It was even in remission for 15 yrs, then came back.

The thing that breaks my heart the most is that her husband treated her terribly these last few years while she was sick and going through chemo, acting as if she was exaggerating her condition, trying to get her to work more to help financially, saying things like "don't give me that cancer excuse". He refused to let her tell their teenaged son just how close to dying she was, preferring instead that he be under the impression that she still had a year or so to live. And while she was in the hospital, just before Hospice came to take over, her friends were calling and he wasn't giving her the messages.

I'll be at the funeral Wednesday, am flying almost all the way across the country to attend, and here's my thing: how in the world am I going to look her husband in the eye?! Forgiveness is so hard sometimes--and it's so easy to allow anger to block out the pain of grief.
