Only time will tell

Try to see it my way
do I have to keep on talking till I can go on
while you see it your way
run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone

Think of what you're saying
you can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
think of what I'm saying
we can work it out and get it straight or say good night

Try to see it my way
only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
while you see it your way
there's a chance that we may fall apart before too long...

--We can work it out we can work it out
I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook
Or the ovation
It's my world
That I want to have a little pride
My world
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a dam
Till I can say
I am what I am

I am what I am
I don't want praise I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not see things from a different angle
Your life is a shame
Till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am I am I am good
I am I am I am strong
I am I am I am worthy
I am I am I belong

I am

I am I am I am useful
I am I am I am true
I am I am somebody
I am as good as you

Yes I am

Gloria Gaynor - I am What I am
There's nothing you can do that can't be done
nothing you can sing that can't be sung
nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
it's easy.

There's nothing you can make that can't be made
no one you can save that can't be saved
nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
it's easy.

There's nothing you can know that isn't known
nothing you can see that isn't shown
nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
it's easy.

All you need is love all you need is love
all you need is love love love is all you need.

--Beatles - All You Need Is Love

Some need

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Some need gold and some need diamond rings
Or a drug to take away the pain that living brings
A promise of a better world to come
When whatever here is done

...

There's a house upon a distant hill
Where you can hear the laughter of children ring
Guardian angels, they watch from above
Watching over the love that they bring
But at night I feel the darkness near

...

--Bruce Springsteen, Happy

What about?

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.. .
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
(What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(ooo,ooo)
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can't we set him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about babies
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)
What about the man
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn 

--Michael Jackson - Earth song
Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else

I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filing me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now He's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

--Metallica - Fade To Black
Suppose I were to tell you that the meaning of dreams
is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie.
And you are just a puppet who can dance on a string.
Do you feel anything?
Would you laugh? Would you care? Would you cry?

So if you are confused and don't know which way to go.
You will certainly know. From the moment we're living we die.
And if it's all a crazy game you don't want to play
Tell me what can you say.
It's a joke. It's the truth. It's a lie.

But the meaning of life is a mystery, how can anyone disagree?
And the music of life is a symphony which we play in a minor key.

But the meaning of life is a mystery that we don't understand so far.
And the music of life is a rhapsody if you're happy the way that you are.

And the meaning of life is a mystery though we live it from day to day.
But the music of live should be harmony so that anyone here can play.

I am a mirror. I am a mirror. Looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. Every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you're the clown. And if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears. 

--Alan Parsons Project - I am a Mirror

It's time, it's time

Bad is bad
That I feel so sad
It's time, it's time
That I found peace of mind, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue

--Los Bravos - Black Is Black
Hello Hello Hello
Is there anybody in there ?
Just not if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home ?

Come on now
I hear your feeling down
I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again

Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

O.K.
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

--Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

A cowboy

Když jsem byl malý, říkali mi naši:                 | When I was young my parents told me:
"Dobře se uč a jez chytrou kaši,                    | "Learn good and eat the porridge of the brave,
až jednou vyrosteš, budeš doktorem práv.            | once you grow up, you'll be a doctor of the laws.
Takový doktor sedí pěkně v suchu,                   | Such a doctor sits in a dry place,
bere velký peníze a škrábe se v uchu,"              | earns a lot of money and scratches his ears"
já jim ale na to řek':"Chci být hlídačem krav."     | I told them: "I want to be a cowboy"
                                                    | 
R: Já chci mít čapku s bambulí nahoře,              | R: I want to have a cap with a toorie on the top
jíst conkers a mýt se v lavoře,                     | eat chestnuts and wash in a pock
od rána po celý den zpívat si jen,                  | from the morning till evening just sing songs,
zpívat si: pam pam pam ...                          | sing: pam pam pam ...
                                                    | 
K vánocům mi kupovali hromady knih,                 | For the Christmas they were buying me a lot of books
co jsem ale vědět chtěl, to nevyčet' jsem z nich:   | what I wanted to know, I could not read from them:
nikde jsem se nedozvěděl, jak se hlídají krávy.     | I could not find how to take care about the cows.
Ptal jsem se starších a ptal jsem se všech,         | I asked the elders and I asked all,
každý na mě hleděl jako na pytel blech,             | everyone just stared at me
každý se mě opatrně tázal na moje zdraví.           | everyone asked me cautiously about my health.
                                                    | 
R:                                                  | R:
                                                    | 
Dnes už jsem starší a vím, co vím,                  | Now I'm older and I know what I know,
mnohé věci nemůžu a mnohé smím,                     | there are a lot of things that I can't and a lot I can
a když je mi velmi smutno, lehnu si do mokré trávy. | and when I'm sad, I lay down to the wet grass
S nohama křížem a s rukama za hlavou                | With legs crossed and hands behind my head
koukám nahoru na oblohu modravou,                   | looking up to the blue sky
kde se mezi mraky honí moje strakaté krávy.         | where between the clouds my mottled cows are.
                                                    | 
R:                                                  | R:
                                                    |
