Intentions
And the sight of the sun, rising, seems to
Invalidate the words of the man so much
  wiser than myself
Tells me how to work my life away, so that
  I may someday
Die, knowing that I compromised
My intentions, and let my dreams turn to
  dust and fade away
leaving nothing, just so I can say
I’ve been a good boy mamma, played the
  part that I was assigned
Never questioned anything, never stepped
  out of line
But it’s been eighteen years now
Of having my intentions drilled in the
  ground
It’s been too many years now
Of having my dreams beaten down
I remember all the crazy dreams we had
  when we were younger
All ending finalized, by the prospect of
  working 9 to 5
And we believed it then, and we believe it
  now, but now I’m so much stronger
And I just can’t see how we can sell
  ourselves short any longer
It don’t mean much, much to me
I’m content, Human Being

Definition
As the world keeps on turnin’
My heart remains burnin’
And I must wonder
Is there any escape from being alone
Is there any shelter
Is there any home (cuz I’m 3000 miles from
  home)
Is there any escape from being alone
Please lord won’t you give me some
  meaning
A definition to what I’ve been feeling
Words can’t rationalize, years that I’ve
  cried
Words don’t help me understand much
  anyway
Please lord won’t you shed me some light
Cuz I’m just looking to feel all right
  sometimes
I lose my mind, I lose my life, I lose you
And you are my everything

Swain’s Garageation
You don’t look at me no more and I don’t
  look at you
Well that all right pretty baby, cuz I’m just
  looking for something to do
You’re telling me that you don’t feel the
  same
Well that’s all right pretty baby, cuz I don’t
  mind driving myself insane, sometimes
I don’t mind at all, and then again
  sometimes baby
I feel like my whole world’s gonna fall apart
When you tell me you don’t feel the same,
  but that’s all right pretty baby, cuz I don’t
  mind being insane
Sometimes
You don’t talk to me no more, and I don’t
  talk to you
Well that’s all right pretty baby, cuz I’m just
  looking for something to prove
You’re telling me that you don’t feel the
  same
Well that’s all right pretty baby, cuz I don’t
  mind driving myself insane, sometimes
I don’t mind at all, and then again
  sometimes baby
I feel like my whole worlds gonna fall apart
When you tell me that you don’t feel the
  same, but that’s all right pretty baby, cuz
  I don’t mind being insane
Sometimes

Someday
All alone she’ll lose herself
Such a long road down
Such a tragic way to go
Runnin’ bears no rewards
She’s desperately seeking an inner joy
That is always out of reach
She gets too caught up to see
Running too fast to see
She’s got the answer
Sees it and runs away
Love is always waiting
When she needs a fix
Desperate mind Desperate heart
Loneliness is tearin’ us apart
She’s got She’s got to stop
She’s got to stop someday
Dear sunshine So nice to hear you’re doin’ all
  right
I almost forgot how much I miss hearin’
  you say
I’ll see you again someday
Dear sunshine Did you forget about the
  rainy days
When we were together I’d hold you in my
  arms and say
Please don’t take this away
Don’t take this away Can’t replace the
  innocence
You mean the world to me Can’t replace
  the innocence
You mean the world to me Can’t replace
  the innocence
Don’t take Don’t take this away
Don’t take this away
I’ll see you again someday
And we can pretend that it is today
I’ll see you again someday

Alienation
And we’ve got
Soviets and Americans – Brothers and
  Sisters
Iraqis and Iranians – Parents and Children
Mexicans and Americans – Brother, are
  you an alien?
No brother I’m from the planet Earth
And we got
White man and Black man – Brothers
  and Sisters
Yellow man and Red man – Parents
  and Children
Brown man and every man – Brother,
  what’s your Race?
No Brother I’m from the Human Race
Separation, division, it’s so easy to find a
  reason
But it all means nothing, when the end
  comes crashing down
I’ve heard a million reasons why we
  should hate each other
I ain’t heard no reasons why we should
  get along
We should get along
And we got
Rich man and Poor man - Brothers and
  Sisters
Right wing man and left wing man -
  Parents and Children
Businessman and Everyman - What’s
  your Classification?
No Brother I think we’re all the same
Yeah Brother I Know we’re all the same
I saw, I saw we’re all the same
And we got
Protestants and Catholics - Brothers and
  Sisters
Jews and Hindus - Parents and Children
Christians and Muslims - Hey man what’s
  your Religion?
No Brother We’re all God’s Children
We’re all God’s Children

Implications
I’ve seen your lust for things to be all
  right, well you better start waiting
I’ve seen it in a million eyes, and I’m still
  waiting
Cuz the answer ain’t your lust for things
  to be all right, so I’m still waiting
For people’s loves to rule their lives, we
  all seem to be waiting
We are nothing, We are Nothing, We
  are One
We are nothing, We are Nothing, We
  are One
We’re looking for something, but
  nothing’s getting done
A million sectarian divisions, are only
  implications of
Our lives, We create our joy, our
  sadness, our meaning, it seems so self-
  defeating
Until I look in another man, see myself,
  touch his hand feel the same life
Flowing, the same life
Growing, the same life
Running, the same life as mine

Resolution
Say you saw another, act on his hate and
  misunderstanding
And it makes you so angry, and it makes
  you so mad
So what kind of example, are you gonna
  set
Cuz violence breeds violence baby, and
  forgiveness breeds forget
We were told violence was wrong, and
  handed a list of situations
In which it would be justified, to
  compromise
Our disposition of offering forgiveness,
  to those who don’t understand, there
  ain’t no reason why
So wait just a minute now, what happens
  to your righteousness
The moment you justify your ill
  intentions towards another person
And it’s gone
Say you got a problem, and you want a
  solution
Where you going to find it now, where
  you gonna get resolution
Will you find it in angry words? no
Will you find it in a hateful mind? no
Will you find it in a clenched fist? no
Will you find it in the end of a gun? I
   think not
So take one word of advice
From Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther
  King and Jesus Christ
You’ll find resolution, in a Loving Heart
  and in a Loving Mind
He needs Love
She needs Love
We needs Love
You needs Love

Inclination
I wish I knew all the answers
And I could share ‘em with you sugar
But for now it looks like
It’ll have to be a test of faith
I’ll remember the good times
And I’ll dream about you
And dream, dream, dream about you
If you could have just one wish come
  true
Would it help to ease the tension
I was thinkin’ maybe we could just walk
  for awhile
And hold hands like we used to do
I’ll sing a song about true love
And bring you roses in the spring
You see things could be so simple
If you didn’t pass your blind judgment on
  me
So now that you’re here
Can you find something good in me
I’d surely hate to think you have up on
  me
And let your sweet, sweet love slip away
I wish you wouldn’t pass me by
Cuz I’d be so lonely without ya
Something’s telling me to just keep on
  tryin’
I could never give up on you

Subdivision
Jonny won the war today
He found out that no one wins
Just a simple interchange
Between this and that
And it’s really all the same
And races and places
Just create another subdivision
And one man’s enemy
Is another mans Brother
Jonny won the war today
Narrowly avoided going insane
But it all seems quite plain
And it seems quite plain
It seems quite plain to me
That one mans enemy
Is just the same
As You And Me, You and Me
White man, black man, yellow man, red
  man
This side, That side, You’re wrong, I’m
  right
Every division is artificial
Ain’t no reason to right anyone
We’re all the same mankind
We all possess the same life
And sometimes I wonder if selfishness
Will be our end
I have a dream today
That all the armies will walk away
And go home to celebrate
Love and life and laughter
I dream the end of win and lose
Because there’s no Victory without
  Cooperation
In a world so full of enemies
I dream the end of competition
And five billion people
Learnin’ to lose their fear of one another
I dream of a world free of enemies
So we can live together in PEACE

The End
When we’re done cleaning the rubble
From the last wall torn down
When we’re done putting back
What we took from the ground
When the last republican and bureaucrat
  and liberal
Can admit to being a Human Being
When the last stubborn man stops
  refusing
To learn from who he’s met and what
  he’s seen
And there will come a day when there
  will be
No more enemy, and no one left to hate
And on this day, the Earth will stand up
  and walk away
When the last line on all the maps
Has been erased
When the last person learns to derive
  the simple pleasure
Of seeing another’s smiling face
When we lose the reasons for divisions
And the separation has gone away
When we know the love will stay
When all the songs have been heard
And all the books have been read
When all the hate is gone and dead
And there will come a day when there
  will be
No more enemy and on one left to hate
And on this day the Earth will stand up
  and walk away

Liberation
Heard my brother tell a story about a
  world gone mad
People building their own cages rage at
  thoughts of liberation
About one girl and about one boy so
  lost in each other’s joy
that he can only say Right On and she
  can only Shine On
Shine On
Meanwhile all around the people tear
  each other down
But the two unable to no appreciate the
  coming of another day
Cuz with each rebirth a renewed gift of
  sun and earth
So right on my mother earth and shine
  on my sun
My Sun
And while the world tears itself apart
  with its certainty
The two just sit back in the wonder and
  the joy
Of the last artifact we have yet to 
  destroy
And we give THANKS


Sweet Valentine
  I saw a smile on her face reminds me 
of the sun filled days that we’d waste
away
  Dreamin’ of a world of love in
harmony
  Well my dream’s comin’ true and I
wish you were here so you could see all
the smilin’ faces I’m smilin’ at you
  Look how far we’ve come since the
spring roses fallin’ to the ground it don’t
mean a thing cuz true love flies free as a
dove
  I keep hopin’ that the end will never
come...
  I’ll keep on waitin’ right here for you
did we get further away or a little bit
closer still wastin’ away but my dream’s
not over there are so many steps left to
trace to see the smile on her face...
  Such a pretty smile pretty smile pretty
smile
  Why don’t you come just a little bit
closer you just seem so far away I try so
hard to keep on movin’ on but I’m
getting caught up thinking about the time
  we shared just wastin’ away it seemed
like they’d never end...
  Keep on movin’ on keep on dreamin’
It’ll come right back to you right back to
you
  I saw a smile on her face reminds me
of the sun filled days that we’d waste
away dreamin’ of a world of love in
harmony...
  My dreams come true I wish you
were here so I could see the forty
shades of green gleamin’ in your eyes
  Now the summer is gone and it won’t
be long before I’m right back in the
middle torn between what I’m missin’
now and a sweet memory of yesterday...
  A sweet memory of a sweet little
child I’d do anything for you
  My sweet valentine

Devotion

Imagination
Took a walk through my imagination
Thinkin’ maybe I’d find her there
I got a little scared
Take a walk through your imagination
And maybe you’ll find her there
She hasn’t got a care
She doesn’t let herself get caught up
She’ll always be free
She doesn’t get that close to me
I saw that she had a different way of
  lookin’ at me
She could see my fear
She say everything will be all right
And shines with reassurance
As she walks away
If I hold her dear without restrictions
She’ll come runnin’ to me
When she gets the time
So young with the best intentions
There’s no way she can fall
Somethin’s there to catch her
Captivated by the way she smiles at me
I hope she sees me smilin’ at her
I’ll dream about her forever
