PEACE

PEACE BE TO THE WORLD
IT'S IN MY DREAMS
FOR WE JUST WANDER BY
IN WAR...IT SEEMS!

PEACE IN COUNTLESS WAYS
DURING TOUGH TIMES
OR IN THE SMILE THAT STOPS
WHEN ALL ... YES! ...RHYMES

PEACE BE TO THE YOUTH
PRAY...LOOK ABOVE!
THEY CAME IN CLOUDS OF JOY...
WHERE WENT OUR LOVE?

Loneliness

TALK TO ME ABOUT LOVE, MY SON
TALK TO ME ABOUT IT....!
TELL ME ABOUT A WORLD THAT SHINES,
....TELL ME ABOUT THE UNKNOWN.

TALK TO ME OF YOU LIFE, MY GIRL,
TALK TO ME ABOUT IT....!
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SEARCHING PACE,
....TELL ME OF YOUR LOST PEARL.

TALK TO ME OH WORLD, TODAY
AND TELL ME WHY YOU HURT!
HURRY NOW, AND TALK TO ME....
AND THEN....JUST GO AWAY!
