We need to stop, just stop
stop for a moment before anybody says or does anything that may hurt anyone else We need to be silent, just silent silent for a moment Before we forever lose the blessings of songs that grow in our hearts We need to notice, just notice notice for a moment Before the future slips away into ashes and dust of humility Stop, be silent, and notice in so many ways, we are the same Our difference is unique treasures We have, we are, a mosaic of gifts to nurture, to offer, to accept We need to be, just be Be for a moment Kind of gentle, innocent and trusting Like children and lambs Never judging or vengeful Like the judging and the vengeful And now let us pray differently, yet together before there is no earth, no life No chance for peace Peace. |

(It matters that the world knows...)
We must celebrate the gift of life Every day in some way We must always remember to play after every storm All children are truly blessed With innocent gifts of gentleness, trust, and compassion To guide the wisdom of the grown-ups We all have a song in our heart that inspires us in good times and hard times If we take the time to listen... (Chorus) It matters It matters Oh, it matters that the world knows Our senses help discover the hidden and not-hidden Enchantment in life if we use them We must carefully choose our words and wants or we could forever hurt others with these dangerous weapons Strength and value of all things created must be measured by character and commitment Rather than by might or by wealth... (Chorus) It matters It matters Oh, it matters that the world knows We must heed the lessons of everyday life Through the celebrations of children and heartsongs senses and words Or we could lose in our journey to the future It matters... (A person by my name and being existed with a strong spirit and an eternal mindset to become a peacemaker for all by sharing the things that really matter) |

Don't you just love the morning
When your go outside and there on the ground Is a fresh perfect green leaf A leaf floating from the quiet summer trees Just resting on the grass and waiting to be discovered Touch the treasure And pick it up gently and feel the excitement Of a new leaf with no tears No marks and no holes Its is a sign of healing and future Don't you just love the morning When you're reminded of the special gifts of life... |

I am black, I am white
I am all skins in between I am young, I am old I am each age that has been I am scrawny, I am well fed I am starving for attention I am famous, I am cryptic I am hardly worth the mention I am short, I am height I am any frame or stature I am smart, I am challenged I am striving for a future The color of sky Is blues and grays The color of earth Is greens and browns The color of hope Is rainbows and purple And the color of peace Is people together Shades of life People together Shades of life I am I am able, I am weak I am some strength, I am none I am being, I am thought I am all things, said and done I am born, I am died I am dust of humble roots I am grace, I am pain I am labor of willed fruits I am slave, I am free I am bonded to my life I am rich, I am poor I am wealth amidst strife The color of sky Is blues and grays The color of earth Is greens and browns The color of hope Is rainbows and purple And the color of peace Is people together Shades of life People together Shades of life I am I am shadow, I am glory I am hiding from my shame I am hero, I am loser I am yearning for a name I am empty, I am proud I am seeking my tomorrow I am growing, I am fading I am hope amid the sorrow I am certain, I am doubtful I am desperate for solutions I am leader, I am student I am fate and evolutions I am spirit, I am voice I am memory, not recalled I am chance, I am cause I am effort, blocked and walled I am hymn, I am heard I am reasoned without rhymes I am past, I am nearing I am present in all times I am many, I am no one I am seasoned by each being I am me, I am you I am all-souls now decreeing The color of sky Is blues and grays The colour of earth Is greens and browns The color of hope Is rainbows and purple And the color of peace Is people together Shades of life People together Shades of life I am |

When Jamie died
I didn't understand The eternity of my sadness I wish I could have prevented it When I rest in bed Dream about how I could have Lived and played with my brother How I wish that I could have saved him If wishing could bring him back He'd be here with me today But then I remember... It happened anyway When I look at pictures And imagine what he would be like Now a dozen years old I wish could have saved him from agelessness If crying could bring him back He'd be here with me today But then I remember... It happened anyway When I think of why and how He was with us and he left us I wish I could have prevented it And stopped his death, and saved him from Never needing breath for birthday candles... For Birthday candles If wishing could bring him back He'd be here with me today But then I remember When Jamie died we didn't understand Oh, but then I remember It happened anyway It happened anyway It happened anyway It happened anyway |

One of my greatest fear is "It"
I can't touch it, but I can feel it It does not have a taste or smell, But I can hear it in my spirit. Chorus: It is deep inside of me, It makes me fear my memory One day I'll live peacefully, Without the fear of "It" It is something I can't see But it can never possess me It is something I can't see It always tries to take control, I can defeat it if I believe it. It keeps running through my mind, I have to fight it time and time And time and time and time And time again... The more I understand about it The less my world revolves around it Then I can just live out my life Without the fear of "It". |

Our eyes are for looking at things
But they are also for crying When we are very happy or very sad Our ears are for listening But so are our hearts Our noses are for smelling food But also the wind and the grass and If we try very hard, butterflies Our hands our for feeling But also for hugging and touching so gently Our mouths and tougues are for tasting But also for saying words, like "I love you", and "Thank you, God, for all of these things." |

If they would find a cure when I'm a kid
I could ride a bike, and sail on rollerblades, and I could go on really long nature hikes If they would find a cure when I'm a teenager I could earn my license and drive a car, and I could dance every dance at my senior prom If they would find a cure when I'm a young adult I could travel around the world and teach peace, and I could marry and have children of my own I could... if they would I could... if they would If they would find a cure when I'm grown old I could visit exotic places and appreciate culture And proudly share pictures of my grandchildren If they would find a cure when I'm alive I could live each without pain, and I could celebrate the biggest "thank you" of life ever I could... if they would I could... if they would If they would find a cure when I'm buried into heaven I could still celebrate with my brothers and sister there, and I could still be happy knowing that I, Knowing that I, was a part of the effort |
