**Brotherhood**
By Gerry Anderson I walk slowly down the streets paved with sadness, Addicts begging for favors and pleading for change, Desperation plagues their dark hollow eyes And their [|hearts], they are empty and I I silently cry.

I see in parks the children that are playing, Smiles and joy lights up their faces with glee, Laughter fills the air with song and delight, Their hearts are full with love and trust in their eyes, I silently cry.

I cry for the lost, the rich and the poor, Whose hearts have grown bitter and cold, For what could have been in their life is now gone, And left is the empty high of a drug that's unknown, I silently cry.

I pray for the ones who have given up hope, Hope for a future of love, faith and joy, I pray for the lonely the sick and the lost, That someone would take the time to reach out, I silently hope,

I hope for a future, a better tomorrow, For people who need compassion and care, I hope that bitterness melts with the touch of a heartbeat, I hope for the love that we can give one another, For are we not really everyone's [|brother]?

Love and Friendship
by Emily Jane Brontë Love is like the wild [|rose]-briar, Friendship like the [|holly]-tree— The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms But which will bloom most constantly? The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring, Its summer blossoms scent the air; Yet wait till winter comes again And who will call the wild-briar fair? Then scorn the silly rose-wreath now And deck thee with the holly’s sheen, That when December blights thy brow He still may leave thy garland green.

**Shattered**
Of A Revolution In a way, I need a [|change] From this burnout scene Another time, another town Another everything But it's always back to you

Stumble out, in the night From the pouring rain Made the block, sat and thought There's more I need It's always back to you

But I'm good without ya Yeah, I'm good without you Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around Give me a break let me make my own pattern All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered I always turn the car around

I had no idea that the night Would take so damn long Took it out, on the street While the rain still falls Push me back to you

But I'm good without ya Yeah, I'm good without you Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line can't [|define] what I'm after I always turn the car around Give me a break let me make my own pattern All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered I always turn the car around

Give it up, give it up, baby Give it up, give it up, now Now

How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around All that I feel is the realness I'm faking Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting Always turn the car around

How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around

Don't wanna turn that car around I gotta turn this thing around

All at Once
Jack Johnson All at once, The world can overwhelm me There's almost nothin' that you could tell me That could ease my mind

Which way will you run When it's always all around you And the feelin' lost and found you again A feeling that we have no control Around the sun Some say There's gonna be the new hell Some say It's still too early to tell Some say It really ain't no myth at all

Keep askin' ourselves are we really Strong enough There's so many things that we got Too proud of We're too proud of We're too proud of

I wanna take the [|preconceived] Out from underneath your feet We could shake it off Instead we'll plant some seeds We'll watch em' as they grow And with each new beat From your heart the [|roots] grow deeper The branches will they reach for what Nobody really knows But underneath it all Theres this heart all alone

What about is gone And it really won't be so long Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all

Theres a world we've never seen Theres still hope between the dreams The weight of it all Could blow away with a breeze If your waitin on the wind Don't forget to breathe Cause as the darkness gets deeper We'll sink and so we reach for love At least somethin we could hold But i'll reach to you from where time just cant go

What about when it's gone And it really wont be so long Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all
