The laws of life

There ought to be a law against receiving

And also a law against giving

Then maybe

We will take time to decide

Who we recieve gifts from

Who we  give gifts to

Who we share  love with

Because once you love

Once you give 

You can never really get it back,

Even if you do

Imadon @ 2006

 

John 3:16 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Un-break My Heart" lyrics by Toni Braxton

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The night are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry this tears
I cried so many, many nights
Un-break my

Un-break my heart oh baby
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on....

Have Mercy, lyrics by Junior Byles

He who seeks of only vanity
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away.
He who checks for only wealth
And not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away.
Though some believe in diamonds and pearl
And feel like they're on top of the world,
They shall fade away, hear what I say.
The rich is getting richer every day,
And the little that the poor man got it shall be taken away.
Do you hear what I say? Yeah, hear what I say.
The man who worships silver and gold
Shall surely, surely, surely lose his own soul,
Then fade away
The one who's always acting smart
And don't carry no love in his heart
Shall fade away.
God is here and there and everywhere
And he knows when you play the game unfair,
So people beware, or else you fade away!
Hey! Beware, or dare you fade away.
You've gotta fade, gotta fade, gotta fade now.
The rich is getting richer every day,
And the little that the poor man got it shall be taken away.
Do you hear what I say, hey? Hear what I say.
The one who's always acting smart
And forgetting to carry love in his heart
Shall fade away.
God is here andthere and everywhere
And his eyes, his eyes are watching you,
You're gonna fade away, yeah, yeah,
You're goin' to fade, fade, fade, fade away...
Fade away... Yeah, yeah... !
[Junior Byles]

Song: Many rivers to cross by Jimmy Cliff

Artist: Jimmy Cliff

Song: Many Rivers To Cross

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover


Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well, I guess I'll have to cry


Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering, I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
And I merely survive because of my will...

Me, Jah and the Rastafari in me

Me, Jah and the Rastafari in me

I am who was a master at being an individual
Who never thought I had anyone I could depend on
Learnt to say f$%#! it
and be by myself
Maybe once a year I would cry
maybe twice


I was cold and burdened with rules that were supposed to protect but ended up enslaving me
Kill the passion in me
Because should love raise its ugly head and get bitten
Then I would have been the more lonely for it
Me, Jah and the Rastafari in me
And then I met you
And I cry

Waiting for God

And in the dark you walk

Feeling your way around

Searching flirting, conversing

While reality takes a stab at you

Life takes a bite of you

 

Sorrow, pain, love, dancing in the rain

Conversing, conserving your energy

Dreaming about your destiny

Rulebook  in hand, you head towards the promised land

But alas it is a Monday

And miracles are supposed to happen only on a Sunday

And you wonder what life would  bring in the week ahead

What of pain, what of joy

 

But without warning

Clouds are no longer forming

And you stand frozen

Because there are no rules in your book

About what to do

Should you choose to begin to live the rest of your  life  on a Monday

And you watch while your life walks away

In the sunset of your years, and only time will tell

What would have happpened

Had you burned your rule book last Sunday

Rule Book

And then you finally realise
That rules were really meant to be broken
They never really got you anywhere
Other than where fear made its lair
Where it laid wait in vain
For love to ease its pain

imadon @2006
What she wore - take 2

I reached for a word
One no ear had ever heard
To describe what I felt
That instant when my heart started to melt
My heart was on fire
As I glared at the subject of my desire

Purple lips you could not miss
Hips I would so love to kiss
Lips so divine
Dreamt of kissing them with wine
As if frozen in time
She stood there, in her glory all mine

I was hers, and she was mine
How would she have known
That love could be sown
By two hearts so far apart
Separated by distance

But in this one instance
We would be one
This love could not be undone
The seeds were planted
Not to be supplanted
By nothing but more of the same
Sweet love that would drive me insane

Yes there she stood in that purple dress
No need for her to undress
That picture captured the moment
When her heart was free of torment
And her tender lips must have said to mine
Honey, my heart will always be thine

Broken Glass

You are in the kitchen

A glass you are holding drops and breaks

And what you do after this happens is very important

You could probably swear

Maybe no one will even hear

You could also break other glasses in anger

But then, that may just make you madder

Or you could learn from the mistake

Try not to repeat it

Because glasses can break anyday

It's what happens after thats really important
