tears

they suddenly come like an oncoming car

rolling down the high way, soon they dont seem so far

you cant keep them away and they spring up at once

you dont know what to do you feel like a dunce

and your heart starts to tear because of your tears

they bring up those feelings those unbearable fears

theyre a door to a world and you see through your eyes

you see your victory and your own demise

and you cant hold them back and they start to flow

and you soon loosen up and start to let go

and your mind is just reeling

your heart full of feeling

your eyes full of tears

but then you start seeing

the part of this world that can be from delight

and you turn down that path and see the light

and more tears start to fall, but this time your free

you see a different meaning, free from misery

and you see that tears are more than cold

blood that falls from the oldscars inside, but now you find

joy can be found from tears

goodbye

goodbyes are like the fallen rain
they seem to last forever but seem too short
you can barely stand to walk away
without catching yourself looking back
you wonder what will happen
while your gone and far away
you think of turning back
and going back to how it was before
but then you realize then
that it wont be the same
and youll wonder what could have been
so when you follow down the path
and finally walk away
your heart will ache from goodbye
and youll want to go back
and give yourself more time
before you had to leave
and sometimes youll want to cry
and you wont fall asleep
some nights youll stay and lie awake
regretting those last words
and youll want to go back
and never say goodbye

hallelujah for starbursts

as sweet as the rainbow
as colorful as the sun
i pick up another
but the taste has just begun
i put two red together
and pop it in my mouth
it taste so good,
oh i just want to shout:
HALLELUJAH!
for these fruit squares i now hold
HALLELUJAH!
everyone has to be told
HALLELUJAH!
i dont want to let them go
but soon they will be gone
(i will eat them!)

strong-willed: will to be strong

she has the will to be strong
has the strength to carry on
has the hope of a dreamer
and if you could see her
for who she really was inside
she would no more have to hide
from your words and your distinctions
ugly words you keep on bringin'
all youve heard is mixed up lies
who she is is no disguise
she who masks herself in times of need
cus' of those who take her dignity
but if you new her inside out
you would see she's proud and stout
in her mind and in her soul
but if you dont try, you'l never know.

cant find caitlin

here in this room
and the talk in full bloom
and i cant seem to see
what i really want to
and shes gone from my sight
and i wuz in a fright
cause i cant find my friend
who is so full of light
and im mad and steaming
and thinking of leaving
my heart is so heavy
my chest now is heaving
but into my path comes
two people who surcome
the friendship i wanted
i take they give and won
my love and attention
ill be in detention
from what i had thought
oh its far from derision
and here i now close
my friend neari now know
but she cant come to me
now from you i must go.
