Keep it Clean

You just gotta keep movin on
Hold your head up high while you’re gone
You can lean on me
But you gotta keep it clean, keep on...

Take this time while you are still young
You must work hard and still have some fun
Keep in mind it's up to you
But you gotta keep it clean, keep on...

Piece it all together and you will move on
Open your heart and you will be strong
Chase your wildest dreams before they're all gone
But you gotta keep it clean, keep on...

Now is the time to learn from the past
Just take the wheel and just don't dare look back
Remember that you're not all alone
When you need to talk just pick up the phone

You can lean on me
But you gotta keep it clean, keep on...

Piece it all together and you will move on
Open your heart and you will be strong
Chase your wildest dreams before they're all gone
But you gotta keep it clean, keep on...

Always remember where you come from
You can’t go back, you’ve got to move on
My blood runs through your veins
It’s time to rid yourself from shame, keep on…

You can lean on me
But you gotta keep it clean,
So open up your heart, and you know that you will start
To piece it all to together

But you gotta keep it clean, keep on...

Happiness is like a Kiss

When you’re down and feelin’ blue
There are certain things that you can do
So take your time, you must pursue
Cause how you choose may define you

Don’t get caught up in that great big lie
That life sucks and then you die
Wipe those tears, kiss the blues good-bye
Above the clouds is a big blue sky

Don’t try so hard to seek it
You will know it when you find it
You must share it to enjoy it
Happiness is like a kiss

So smile at a passer by
Whistle when you want to cry
Wipe those tears, kiss the blues good-bye
Remember what I said about the sky

So start each day with a great big smile
You’ll see that those blues were just a trial
Head out that door now and go in style
You’ll find that the life you lead is so worthwhile

So don’t try so hard to seek it
You will know it when you find it
You must share it to enjoy it
Happiness is like a kiss


Is There Any Reason

This seems all to familiar
Will this story end the same as before?
Will it ever stop, when will they come home?

How many more people?
How many more families, how long will this go?
Is there any reason, will we ever know?

We rely, but does the government supply?
They just deny and continue to imply
While people still cry, kissing loved ones good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Will they ever justify

Do we have choices?
Or are we just puppets on a string?
Following this deadly familiar path 

Will we ever get answers?
Or will this story end the same as before?
Is there any reason, we can’t be sure

We rely, but does the government supply?
They just deny and continue to imply
While people still cry, kissing loved ones good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Will they ever justify

Stop the lying
Continuously denying
We’re just not buying
Cause people are still dying

We rely, but does the government supply?
They just deny and continue to imply
While people still cry, kissing loved ones good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Will they ever justify


Birthday of Your Love Affair

Many years have passed you by
At times you laughed, at times you cried
Many changes came your way
Yet love grew stronger, day by day

Loving parents, always there
Never a doubt, will always care
You kept us safe and made us strong
Taught us all from right and wrong

Here’s to you both
A beautiful pair
On the birthday of your love affair

Here’s to you both
A beautiful pair
On the birthday of your love affair

So here is my toast
To a beautiful pair
Celebrate this day of your love affair

Here’s to you both
A beautiful pair
On the birthday of your love affair


Today's The Day

It’s 6 am and the sun is shining
I clear the cob webs from my head
Nothing today can keep me from smiling
As I lay here on my bed

Today’s the day my baby comes home
Oh how I’ve missed her so
Soon I’ll have her beside me from now on

Too many days have gone by without her
Too many hours I’ve been all alone
As each day passed my anticipation grew
It seems my love for her has only grown

Today’s the day my baby comes home
Oh how I’ve missed her so
Soon I’ll have her beside me from now on

This time apart has opened my eyes
Now I can see what she means to me
No more jokes and no more lies
She’s coming home and she’s all I need

In a few short hours and I’ll get my chance
To change my old ways and start a new
Lying here and remembering our first dance
And how empty my life is without her

Today’s the day my baby comes home
Oh how I’ve missed her so
Soon I’ll have her beside me from now on

Today’s the day my baby comes home
Oh how I’ve missed her so
Soon she’ll stand beside me from now on

May I Have This Dance

May I have this dance? 
This dance that will last forever
Hold on to me now, don’t let go
With you here in my arms I can go on forever
Just look into my eyes, and I’ll know

I’ll know all the joy that true love can bring
Deep within my heart, it grows
All of my dreams have all come true
Because of you, I know

At times I’ll hurt for you, at times I’ll cling to you
At times I’ll need to take a stance
Let’s never forget this time, this lovely and precious time
That we share, so lets take our chance

Remember that moment, that moment we first met
Remember that very first glance
Now here we are and I offer you my hand
May I have this dance?
May I have this dance?
May I have this dance?

I’m heading east to see the family and friends
I’ve been away this time for far too long
I’m looking forward to all the catching up
And what’s been going on around here since I’ve been gone

Mom and Dad have kept the old place up
It hasn’t changed very much since I was young
My Sis and Brothers families are doing fine
Can’t wait to get together and have some fun

Every time I come back to this old town
A little piece inside of me comes out
Can’t wait to catch up with everyone, and roam this place where I come from

I’m lucky to have the family that I have
Strong family ties and supporting Mom and Dad
I’ll never, ever forget where I come from
I’m never going stay away again this long

Every time I come back to this old town
A little piece inside of me comes out
That little boy that grew up strong, I like the man that I’ve become

I’ve got a great group of friends who greet me when I come back
We reminisce about the good times that we had
I can’t believe all the things that we did back then
Now all we have is do you remember when

Every time I come back to this old town
A little piece inside of me comes out
Catching up with everyone, memories of days long gone

I’m heading home…

I Found You

I've been walking down this road now I know
That there is someone, somewhere, where I need to go
And when I get there my heart will tell me so

That I… I have found my way
I… am here to stay
I… I can no longer lose
Because I… I found you

Waiting and wondering can this dream really be
One more step in my life’s long destiny
Though once seemed hazy now the future I can see

That I… I have found my way
Yes I… am here to stay
I… feel the old turn into new
Since I… I found you

Now we’re together, all the birds begin to sing
The sun shines brighter, It’s love in spring
Your tender lips, your loving eyes that shine
God glanced my way and made you mine

I've been walking down this road now I know
That there is someone, somewhere, where I need to go
And when I get there my heart will tell me so

That I… I have found my way
I… am here to stay
I… I can no longer lose
Because I… I found you


Mark of Rebellion

Today, its so high fashion
Today, it’s so cool
Today, everyone's passion
Today, don't you be a fool

You walk around the streets of the city
You walk around, looking so fly
You don’t want anybody’s pity
You like the fact that people ask why

The mark of rebellion, you got it all right
The mark of rebellion, you got it tonight

You fight the pain, gotta have more ink injected
Can’t have just one, you gotta move on
Not even thinking of possible infection
Just wandering why you waited so long

The mark of rebellion, you got it all right
The mark of rebellion, you got it tonight

It seemed like such a cool thing
When you were young and wild
Now all those tats, don’t suit your style
Just wait awhile

The years pass by, you’re looking in the mirror
You’re pondering, and now you ask why
So long ago, not thinking about the future
Now all those tattoos just make you sigh

The mark of rebellion, you got it all right
The mark of rebellion makes you sigh tonight

Just wait and think before you go and get tattooed
Just wait and think before you get tattooed
They don’t rub off, just wait before you get tattooed

Another Chapter

Another chapter has begun
Two hearts begin to beat as one
All who have gathered here can feel
The love we share is oh, so real

Our future now seems very clear
The dreams we share we hold so dear 
Our past has helped us both to grow
Sharing all that we’ve come to know

I believe this to be, what you want this to be
You’re the angel in my dreams, baby can’t you see
You can count on me

Fate came our way, brought us together
Our friendship grows stronger everyday
Trust was our guide through the stormy weather
Having faith brought us closer in every way

That first day we met, I simply knew
My life rediscovered by the magic of you
How it came as no surprise
Your tender words opened up my eyes

Now I can see
Heaven sent you to me
Embracing my world this was meant to be
It was destiny

I thank the Lord we found each other
My life long companion till the end
A new life to build with one another
I thank the Lord for my best friend

Pink Balloons

Not so long ago it seems I held you in my arms
That little girl, I used to twirl with lovely childhood charms
Now the day has come and I must send you on your way
With blessings, but it’s hard in everyway

Pink balloons, Looney tunes, bows, ribbons and curls
To Daddy please, can I have the keys, now here’s my little girl

Without your love and sacrifice, I wonder where I’d be
You’re caring words and good advice guide me so I can see

You stood today, gave me away now I became a wife
You helped to pave the way for my new life

From pink balloons, Looney tunes, bows, ribbons and curls
Now Daddy know that I will always be you’re precious little girl

You stood today, gave me away, now I became a wife
You helped to pave the way for my new life

You will always be Daddy’s precious girl

Thoughts of You

Silent is the night, thoughts of you seem bright
Longing for that time you’ll spend the night
I want to hold you near, thoughts of you seem clear
Softly spoken words how I long to hear

I opened up my world to you
You welcomed me somehow you knew
Although the times we share are few…
I live day by day with such sweet thoughts of you

So many miles apart, thoughts of you will start
Keeping perfect beat of my lonely heart
I wonder where to go, thoughts of you I know
Turns the dim into a welcome glow

I opened up my world to you
You welcomed me somehow you knew
Although the times we share are few…
I live day by day with such sweet thoughts of you

So unexpectedly, thoughts of you I see
Tender times spent so romantically
I hope this song is clear, thoughts of you my dear
We’re so far apart, but oh how I hold them near

I opened up my world to you
You welcomed me somehow you knew
Although the times we share are few…
I live day by day with such sweet thoughts of you

Right This Wrong

I need to talk to you

So please pick up the line

I need to see you

We’ve wasted so much precious time

This misunderstanding
Is causing us way too much pain
We must talk this through now
And get beyond all this painful blame

Do we throw away all our plans
All our plans for the future   
If we’re going to make this journey lifelong
Together we must right this wrong

I don’t have all the answers
But life without you is such a crime
So let’s start the healing
I know that this may take some time

Some harsh words were spoken
But as I think back, it makes me see
There’s still so much passion
So much passion between you and me

Let’s dry up all these tears
And conquer all our fears
Let’s move on and put the past behind
And live our lives with piece of mind       

It’s time to make peace now
And put things back the way they should be
Let’s learn from this now
And let’s agree to disagree

Do we throw away all our plans
All our plans for the future   
If we’re going to make this journey lifelong
Together we must right this wrong

State of Mind

Finding all the pieces and piecing them together
Keeps you safe and warm all through the stormy weather
When you’re looking back in time and wandering where you’re going
Keep a close look at which way the wind is blowing

Learning from mistakes and always moving toward
That place in your life when you’ll find greatest reward
Never slowing down, not even when you fail
Always staying positive and soon you will prevail

Time is on your side now let experience be your guide
Don’t let your dreams fade and die
Just keep on reaching for the sky

The key to staying young is always having fun
And knowing when you reach a goal you’re not done
This journey that we take can always make or break
Stay focused on your task and always what’s at stake

Don’t fall into that trap that you’re too old for that
So whistle while you work and sing a rat-a-tat
We have so little time so make up your mind
Press on and move forward because we can’t rewind

Time is on your side now let experience be your guide
Don’t let your dreams fade and die
Just keep on reaching for the sky

Age is just a state of mind
Don’t get hung up on the passing time
Getting older is not a crime
Keep the feeling that you’re always in your prime

You only get one life so go and take a chance
Now get up off your ass and join in the dance
Take advantage of this time so you don’t fall short
And look in all directions to gain the best support

Now live each and every day as if it was your last
And all your expectations you will certainly surpass
You just can’t ignore there are certain things in store
So conquer all your fears and you’ll open many doors

Time is on your side
Now let experience be your guide
Don’t let your dreams fade and die
Just keep on reaching for the sky
