I know
You’re not here with me
I know
You’ve been called away
To take care of someone
Who needs you
More
More than me
I know
You will be back
You’ll be here
Once more with me
When I need you
Need you
Desperately.

I have found
The world is round
What is done comes back
Comes back around
So don’t make it bad
Don’t make anyone sad
Cause back
It comes back around.
Make it happy
Carefree, filled with joy
Then when it comes back
Comes back around
Your soul will know
Truly
The world is round.

Holding on, holding tight
Throughout the dark, scary night
No remorse, no justifying
Just being there
Feeling feelings of despair
Knowing in my heart
I will survive.
In the morning once again
Come alive
Live the day in happiness
Breathe breath of gladness
Preparing for the night
Gathering round
Holding on, holding tight
This is
Has become my life.

Nobody does nor do they see
The hurt, anger seething inside of me.
Can’t keep it in, can’t let it out
Fighting, wrestling my emotions about.
Will something happened
To change all this?
Will I find happiness, joy, and bliss?
Nobody knows nor do they see
This anger, hurt seething inside of me,

No one knows
How much I need
They don’t see
My insecurity, my vulnerability
I keep it secret
I keep it close to me
For to expose it
Would only put me more
More in need.

9/11 will be seen
As a time of horror
Heartache
And oh, such bravery
When 9/11 angels were sent to heaven
Too much hate
No saving.
Buildings will dissipate
But lives lost or ruined
Will be remembered
Then, now and for decades
The reason lost on most, everyone
Not known why
Most of all by those who died
Really, not understood by anyone.
Life should not be deemed cheap
All life is sacred, revered
That is my belief
Say a prayer, pray for those
Who lost their lives
And those
Who were the reason.
For if we all can see
We must live together
Work together, love together
In peace and tranquillity
Then it will be ours forever
It will forever
Be.

Nobody calls
No one is here with me
That is what it is
No lie.
Deep down inside
I feel the heartache subside
No tears, no cries
Only the smile on my face
Lies.
To the world I’m okay
I feel loved
I feel treasured
But
I lie.
Inside
Inside I know
Know it is
Is a lie.

Close by
Then far away
My thoughts travel
Travel
Throughout the day.
I wonder
Will they be right?
Will they say the truth
Or
Will they lie?
Will they protect
The ones I love
Make them laugh
Not
Make them cry?
Questions I ask
Thoughts I wonder
Throughout the day
Close by
Then far away.

We know we don’t know
Know much of anything
We think we do
We’re sure
Absolutely sure we do.
But
The truth is
It’s not much
At all.
If we look to the skies
The ground beneath our feet
Do we know what’s there
Where it lives, forms and dies?
We don’t know
We really
Really don’t know
Don’t know
Much of anything.
That’s what I think
I think
I don’t know.

Thinking back
Thinking of things
That
Could have
Changed my life
Way back
In the midst
Of
Everything.
Not sure
If changing would have been
Better
Or
Maybe worse.
But then
I’ll never know
For
I didn’t do
Those changes
Those thinking of everything
Things.
