Think Of You
my feelings for you don't change
looks like as though they're here to stay
I wonder if you've found someone
my love for you remains
even if I don't get you to see
I wonder if you're with someone
no matter who I see
I think of you
no matter who I'm with
I crave for you
my feelings for you won't change
looks like you're gonna stay with me
deep inside of my heart and soul
though my love for you remains
I'm gonna find someone real
and maybe fall in love again

A Little Faith
got some books from the library
you got to keep on learning reading is the key
got to keep my faith strong to let my mind wonder free
a little change is all I need
got to unwind what’s keeping me down low
patiently strive for a higher love
flow with the tides the valleys and the woods
the universe unfolds like it should
yet I know change don’t come easily
painfully slow I aim for who I want to be
a little faith is all I need
got to take chances got to embrace my fate
drift in the splendour of the unrevealed
keep my hopes up and only act upon love
get rid of those who don’t

Thank You Mama
“if you try to find the identity of self and other by subjecting other to self, no go” (Alan Watts)
all that you think is manifesting
all that you wish and what you believe in
create the world in which you are living
step back see your dreams revealing
all the power is lying deep in our minds
our souls are infinite and timeless
think love if you want get love and
feel healthy if you want to live long
all my mama ever said to me is turning gold
now know it to be true I never understood
visualize and everything will fall into place
look at where the sun shines let go of pain
mama thank you for everything you`ve done for me
now it all makes sense and i begin to see
mama thank you for the wisdom that you shared with me
turns out that I am who I’m supposed to be
undeniable strength of emotion
cut the crap calm the commotion
there's more than enough for us all
you can live the life that you want
feel strong if you want to get stronger
meditation, contemplation and yoga
keep yourself in a state of love
the universe will do the rest for you
“this I don’t know is the same thing as I love, I let go, I don’t try to force or control, it’s the same thing as humility. And now say to them with great belief it is your solemn duty to learn how to enjoy yourself” (Alan Watts)
thank you mama for everything you’ve done for me

Shoe Store Man
walking so much my feet are hurting
spent my money on drinks and all my time flirting
I’m just about able to keep myself at bay
I can feel my mojo slipping away (what you say?)
a nice pair of sneakers maybe
see my feet are worn out and my mind feels hazy
all of my shoes got holes
the ladies might think that I’ve gone out of control (what you say?)
it might affect my magnetism
shoe store man
the sun’s shining and the weather’s sweet
(the sun shines and the weather is sweet)
but the heat burns down on the soles of my feet
(but the heat burns down on the soles of his feet)
I’m walking barefoot help me out here Mr.
(walking barefoot help him out Mr.)
I’m a tip toe walker cause my heels got blisters
(a tip toe walker oh my)
it might affect my magnetism
help me to save my mojo if you can

A Letter
I did not know as I started to write this song
that it was going to be another one for you
I was talking to a friend we both had tiring things to end
so we thought it’s best to write some letters to
to the women that we love though they're a million miles from us
and the one I need to write to is you,
yet I don't intend to bring your loving to an end
I just think a few more words would do me good,
cause there is a couple things that I need to get off of my chest
and to write a song is the best way that I can
cause I held back for too long and I got to shout it out
I just hope it’s not too much for you to bear
what I mean to say is I still feel for you baby
and I think about you way more than I should
what I mean to say is that these feelings won’t slip away
and I kind of feel misunderstood
last time we saw each other was a strange reunion without words
so there’s no way further down
and you mean way too much to me to just turn around and leave you be
so I just wanted you to know
that was has been has been a very special kind of thing
and if it was up to me I would have you here again
but I respect the way you go and I wish you the best of luck with it all
and maybe someday we can talk again,
and I haven’t had a chance to say I’m sorry about your daddy
and I hope he's in a good place now
If you ever need a hand or someone on whom you can depend
I’d be glad if it was me, you know
what I mean to say is I still feel for you baby
and I think about you way more than I should
what I mean to say is that these feelings won’t slip away
and I kind of feel misunderstood
and I’m trying to find a way to bring some closure to that tale
bring some peace inside of my weary heart again
yet I got that feeling that you still feel for me and you sometimes think of me
and if I’m wrong please tell me so

I won’t bear the cost for these sins that you wield
nor reach for that cord you threw for me
the dirt of your deeds is yours alone to eat
so don’t put the blame on me
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie
don’t put the blame on me
I now go by the ways of the lord
I don’t need no excuses no more
what you sow is what you will reap
so don’t put the blame on me

Aunt Leonie
I was talking to a friend as you entered the scene
with your big blue eyes you smiled at me
right away I felt drawn to you
might not have been the only one, could you feel it too?
We met again later on
felt we had a good thing going on
supernatural communication
we didn’t need words for conversation
made up my mind, I’m gonna get to know you
waste no more time, I’m gonna get to know you
together it will be alright
and I won’t do you no harm
and I won’t do you no wrong
turns out I’m not the only guy
well, good times come but they pass by
dreamed a good thing had begun
but it seems I was the only one
made up my mind, I got to know you
wasted no time, I got to know you
together it’ll still be alright
I won’t do you no wrong
I wont do you no harm

All Gonna Be Better
here's another chapter of the same ole tale
a man in love and his heart in vain
it was a love that drove that man insane
who would have thought that man was me
first I thought it was nothing special
but I turned out to be wrong
it’s all gonna get better
it’s all gonna be good
sure did miss her when she was gone
she didn’t seem to care at all
it wasn’t me that she was looking for
and I began to doubt if she felt at all
when I was with her she didn’t care
when I was gone she didn’t mind
I went to see a preacher man
and that man told me to stay away
so I did what the wise man said
I’m way better off now then I was back then
well praise the preacher
praise the high and divine

Stormy Weather Blues
stormy weather pounds my window
I think I'm staying in
stormy weather pounds my window
I think I'm staying in
used to keep my window open
it’s closed ain’t gonna let it in
stormy weather outside
I think I’m staying in
stormy weather on the outside
I think I’m staying in
stormy weather’s passing by
but lord I ain’t gonna let those cold chills in
won’t let them in
did not care about the weather
in my younger days
did not care about the weather
in my younger days
now I’m taking my umbrella
just in the case it rains
“supposing that every night you could dream any dream you wanted to dream, what would do? well, first of all I’m quite sure that most of us would dream all the marvellous things we wanted to happen, we would fulfil all our wishes and we might go on that way for months, besides you could make it extraordinarily rich by wishing to dream 75 years in one night full of glorious happenings but after you’ve done that for a few months you might begin to get a little tired of it and you would say what about an adventure in which something terribly exciting and rather dangerous is going to happen but I’ll know I’m dreaming so it won’t be too bad and I’ll wake up if it gets too serious so you do that for a while you rescue your princess in distress with dragons and all sorts of things and then when you’ve done that for some time you say now let’s go out a bit further let’s forget it’s a dream and have a real thrill but you know you wake up and then you get after you’ve done that for a while you get more and more nerve until you sort of dare yourself as to how far out you can get and you end up dreaming the sort of life you’re living now” (Alan Watts)

Some Choose
when those demons take control
there’s no peace within your soul
you feel trapped inside your head
brother I know just how you feel
if you could keep yourself close to me
so that I could reach you when I’m in need
so that I could have you by my side
cause I sure do fall once in a while
when those demons keep you up late at night
and you feel all alone and you got no strength left to fight
and you fall down on your knees as it starts to rain
and you pray to lord that he might ease your pain
when those fears they find no end
the pills you take are not your friend
when you can't outrun those shadows behind
some choose to live and some choose to die

Bye Bye, Baby, Bye Bye
how can you kiss me and say the things you said
how can you look into my eyes like you did
how can you hold me with such a thing on your mind
how can you fool me and kiss me goodbye
baby I’m leaving this godless town
I came back it left me broken and down
I took the risk and again I was fooled
am I blind or is it only you
how can you kiss me and hold me so tight
when you just come from that other guy you had last night
how can you smile the way you do
how can you treat me like a fool
baby I’m leaving this godless town
I came back left me broken and down
I took the risk and again I was blind
I’m leaving and I won’t be back this time
bye bye, baby, bye bye
bye bye, baby, bye bye
bye bye, baby, bye bye
bye bye, baby, bye bye
