someday

someday somebody will love me
the kind of love that will stay
someday somebody will love me
and never go away

today i'm alone and feeling lonely
the friends i can call are not my romance
the one i want is so very unique
i hope, i live, for another chance

i've been in love so many times before
has it all been just wonderful fantasy
i always though that true love was forever
have i never found true love truthfully?

i open my heart, i open my mind
i open my doors, i try to be kind
i give everything, i start with respect
then honor, defend, value and protect

when i am in love i will do anything
for the happiness of the one i love
i would die for love i will live for love
there is nothing anywhere that's above
true love true love
true love true love

someday somebody will love me
the kind of love that is true
someday somebody will love me
scooby dooby do

someday somebody will love me
the kind of love that never ends
someday somebody will love me
forever best friends

someday somebody will love me
the kind of love that will stay
someday somebody will love me
and never go away
never go away
never go away

love is real


life leads here and there and before we know it
things we meant to do were never done
we can feel so much inside and forget to show it
so busy working hard to survive
or working harder to make life fun

people we meet become part of our lives in moments
some pass through and some remain alive inside
sometimes someone matter a lot more than we notice
as we get caught up in life's roller coaster ride
some things hide
but some things cannot be denied

no matter what happens in life
whether it's bliss or strife
no matter where you go or what you do
i still care about you
and even if we fade away
to distant memories of yesterday
what matter is what the heart wants to do
my heart cares about you
so no matter how alone you feel
if you remember love is real
you'll know someone you once knew
still cares about you

so yeah, it has been years and but who is counting
all the things we meant to do we never got done
as time passes in this life and pressures start mounting
so busy working hard to survive
working even harder to make life fun

people we meet become part of our lives in moments
some pass through and some remain alive inside
sometimes someone matter a lot more than we notice
as we get caught up in life's roller coaster ride
some things hide
but some things cannot be denied

no matter what happens in life
whether it's bliss or strife
no matter where you go or what you do
i still care about you
and even if we fade away
to distant memories of yesterday
what matter is what the heart wants to do
my heart cares about you
so no matter how alone you feel
if you remember love is real
you'll know someone you once knew
still cares about you

it might seem to come out of the blue
but i've come to do something i've meant to do
every year
even though
this message might not always get through
even when we are not sharing
i hope you know i'm always carng
as sure as one and one will always equal two
as long as i'm alive i care about you
and today i still say
happy birthday pj
every year
even though
this message might not always get through
happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday dear pj
happy birthday to you

did you forget?


when this all began
there was so much more emotion
from pleasure to pain
and there was so much more hope
running through my veins
so much more devotion to the dream
but nowadays it seems
there is just a blank stare
and i can't help but wonder
what happened?
did you forget how to care?

when this all began
there was so much more to be said
fantasy and confusion
exploding from my head
was it all illusion
just so much delusion i believed
lies my senses received
as if truth was really there
now i can't help but wonder
what happened?
did i forget how to be aware?

there was a time when the meaning of life
could be summed up in these simple words
falling in love and being in love
everything else was window dressing
now i am not sure why i am alive
are my memories all for the birds
is falling in love and being in love
replaced by some holy confessing

what has really gone wrong
did fear replace love
in my love song?

did i dream when all this began
or was it erased by some master plan
have i gone insane
lost part of my brain
why do i carry on
when all that is left is wondering
what is gone

when this all began
there was so much more here there and everywhere
now i can't help but wonder
what happened?
did we forget how to share?
now i can't help but wonder
what happened?
did we forget how to care?

dream for one more day

i made your children my children inside my head
so have you come back to take that illusion away?
i don't want to remember all the mean things we said
i just want to keep my dreams for one more day

once upon a time when i was young
my dreams were strong and flourished in my mind
and even though the best of them may not have come true
remembering them as i do can be kind

and if i embellish on them now and then
who's to say what was or might have been?

i made your heart my heart inside my memories
as beautiful as any dream love could ever know
so if you're here to wake me from my fantasies
no, no no, no, no, i don't want to let this dream go

once upon a time when i was young
my dreams were so beautiful in my mind
even even though the years have challenged them to fail
remembering them as do can be kind

so if i exaggerate them now and then
who's to say what could or might have been?

and what is real?...
anyway?
is it not what we feel
right now, today?
and if i feel love
and wish i could share it with you
is that so wrong
even if it's a dream that will not come true
what if it's still the best i can do?

so please don't tell me what to do inside my head
even if you don't want me part of your life's play
i'll remain devoted to my dream of loving you
and the children will be mine for one more day
i just want to keep my dream for one more day

once upon a time when i was young
my dreams were all i'd ever hoped to find
now i'm in those years where any day could be my last
so let my dreams be the last thought on my mind

and if i don't hear a single word you say
it's just cuz
i just want to keep my dreams for one more day
just leave me with my dreams for one more day
just let me have my dream...
for one more day

in love

I left my heart so long ago
in my imagination
now Deepak talks of imaginal cells
beyond human sensation
and butterflies offer a laugh
as tears drown inspiration
just because nobody near
cares

I left my hope so long ago
in my procrastination
when Gandhi talked of selfless acts
and love's emancipation
I bought into a savior's crossing
with holy proclamation
but all I found was nobody
shares

it's a give and take world with everybody taking
and all my giving leaves me empty inside
it's a disillusioned child with a heart still breaking
still looking for a magic carpet ride
and all the half-hearted efforts to give up
to accept the apathy that is the norm
doesn't seem to work for me, there is no holy cup
that brings me comfort in the current storm

what do you want?
what do you want?
I waste my time with these words
are your ears open?
do your eyes see?
what do you believe is me?

what do you want?
what do you want?
why do you come to these words?
what can you relate to?
do you know what is true?
what do you want to do?
who are you?
and what do you want to do?

I left my dream so long ago
in tortured isolation
now Rumi talks of whirling spells
and holy copulation
and caterpillars shed a tear
for human population
a race lost in lies and despair
fears

I left my faith so long ago
in rational revelation
now holy talk of heaven and hell
is sad self-mutilation
does anyone live without fear?
in innocent elation
laughing at the masks everyone
wears

it's a give and take world with everybody taking
and all my giving leaves me empty inside
it's a disillusioned child with a heart still breaking
still looking for a magic carpet ride
and all the half-hearted efforts to give up
to accept the apathy that is the norm
doesn't seem to work for me, there is no holy cup
that brings me comfort in the current storm

but I don't want to play that game anymore
the happy child inside wants to laugh again
trying to fit in to belong to not be alone
is a waste of time in a world of pretense

so keep your promise of tomorrow
living in your world of sorrow
as if this is not the place to be
you are wasted from the start
when fear and lies fill your heart
truth is nothing when you will not see
how can you be trusted?
when you don't take responsibility
how can you be trusted?
when you condemn your own ecstasy
how can you be trusted?
when you live for some future fantasy
how can you be trusted?
when you ignore your own reality

what do you want?
what do you want?
I waste my time with these words
are your ears open?
do your eyes see?
what do you believe is me?

what do you want?
what do you want?
why do you come to these words?
what can you relate to?
do you know what is true?
what do you want to do?
who are you?
and what do you want to do?

I don't want to be no prophet
I don't want to be no sage
I don't want to be no savior
no guru ahead of my age
I don't want to be no genius
I don't want to be above
I don't want to be no poet
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love

I left my love so long ago
in betrayed veneration
self-pity and apathy
replaced inclination
joined the web of wasting time
mental masturbation
acute alliteration
self-mocking frustration
synaptic undulation
irreverent aeration
human beneficiation
rhyming affectation
revered imitation
yeah
yeah
yeah

but after all is said and done
I just want some harmless fun
and to share honesty
in reality
and I just want to share
how much I can care
without fear…
and with
honest appreciation
living jubilation
pure emancipation
free invigoration
true actualization
infinite suaviation
creative inspiration
passionate exultation
and playful relaxation
in love
in love
in love - I just want to be
in love
in love
in love - I just want to be
in love
in love
in love - I just want to be
in love
