I know you can't learn from where I went wrong
And have to make your mistakes
But oh how I yearn for you to be strong
And able to live with heartaches
Live life caring, loving, being kind
Be true with all you meet
Remember sharing a happy mind
can make your life complete
Feel your emotions, accept then decide
How best to put them away
Find someone you trust in to confide
to help you on your way
Fight every fear, move forward somehow
it's the only way to feel free
your lives and whatever is here and now
Will find you a better place to be
I love you both, with all my heart
And hope you love with passion
Remember growth will make you smart
with feelings you never ration
Into the rat race, I'll watch you go
With tears but full of hope
Whatever the case I hope you'll know
A way to help you cope
And my final wish for you my dears
Is for your children to learn the same
How loving honestly without fears
Should be life's one main aim!
Like a blow with a fist
That moment I knew
What you did then
And contnue to do
In that instant I knew
What I'd gone through
Was mainly all
Because of you
Yet, I've done nothing wrong
Which you surely must know
All I can think of
You just hate me so
Another lesson learned
And at least I now know
It is time to move on
It is time to let go
People talk about a purpose
A mission for each one on earth
A path that if you choose to walk it
Was pre-determined before your birth
A mission testing your every being
Mostly based on facing fear
And if you opt to walk away
Repeated chances will appear
With every challenge that awaits us
Comes a lesson to help us grow
Walk away or accept your fate
Your higher purpose is there to know
And as I walk a path that's hurt me
And sometimes cut me up inside
I won't back off from what life throws me
I'll hold on tight and enjoy the ride.
What's meant for us
Won't pass us by
It will just come about
But how do we know
What's meant for us?
It fills us all with doubt
One door closes,
Another one opens
Opportunity won't wait around
But how do we know
The right door to choose
Out of all the doors we've found
It's the path of least resistance
Like water flowing through
Open nooks and crannies
Down old paths, also new
Don't fight for what
You think should be
Be open to all doors
Like ever flowing water
What's meant for you is yours
Sometimes for a moment
I'm filled with despair
Thinking I've no-one
Here with me to care
Then I remember
There's always someone there
Helping in hard times
Making it easier to bear
In any dark days
I know now to accept
Resistance is futile
The angels adept
At being there when you need them
Carrying you through
To a calmer, more peaceful
Enlightened you.
If every lie came back to haunt you
If all untruths left a scar
Would it change the way you live
Would it change all that you are
If every falseness became apparent
And all dishonesty showed up in lights
Would it change your actual being
Or would you still demand you're right
If every dishonest action taken
Had consequences beforehand known
Would you think more about your motives
Or have the seeds been already sown
If you eat, dream, sleep someone
And desire gets out of hand
The thoughts running round your head
Are more than you can stand
You can go into a maybe world
Where desire becomes less tense
Desire then let it go
Cos maybe's your defence
Maybe it will happen
If it's meant to be
But living in a wanting world
Stops you being free
Desire takes you over
Maybe lets it go
If it's gonna happen
You will surely know
f you believe in a higher being
And you know he sees it all
You go forward wth a confidence
Whether you rise or fall
If you believe that every lifetime
Is to learn and help you grow
The evolution of each person
The higher being comes to know
If you believe in not hurting
Any living thing
A path towards enlightenment
Is what that journey brings
If you believe we're all equal
And each lifetime's purpose serves
To improve tolerance and empathy
In a run of learning curves
If you believe in reincarnation
Different body, different role
Your trials and tribulations
Bring understanding to your soul
If you believe in a higher being
And you know he sees it all
Unfairness and injustice
Will be karmically restored.
Does faith need a church
To feel close to God
Does praying in numbers
Feel more part of God's squad
Does faith need a bible
To know right from wrong
Does dubious history
Help people belong
Does faith need a vicar
Or priest to be near
To make it more likely
God will hear
Does faith need labelling
And given a name
Only praying with people
Who feel just the same
My faith has no rules
I simply believe
God is my maker
He's every breath I breathe.
