			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Magic Bumble Bee</p>
<p>The birth&#8230;.</p>
<p>I was born of nothing, and nothing ever was.<br />
I think if there was nothing, we wouldn&#8217;t have a cause.<br />
The dreams they came from no where, a funny place to be.<br />
I think I heard it coming, that sunny bumble bee.</p>
<p>I dream of things that could have been, and dream of things I could have seen.<br />
What dreams, what mixed up thoughts, of times gone by and nothing!<br />
And nothing happened with a bang!<br />
A flash of light and then a blast, I flew into the sky so fast.</p>
<p>And now I&#8217;m on a journey, a journey to somewhere.<br />
 I wonder where I&#8217;m going, and when I will get there.<br />
The time flies by as we go fast, I think we&#8217;re looking at the past.<br />
My dreams are gone, I think we&#8217;re here; we&#8217;ve travelled through the stratosphere.</p>
<p>Sometimes we try to understand, and what we see is in our hand.<br />
The darkness gone, the light is here, as we travel through the stratosphere.<br />
There is no god, there&#8217;s only light, and you can&#8217;t see him in the night.<br />
There&#8217;s something else that we can&#8217;t see, I think it is a bumble bee.</p>
<p>With darkness gone the light will shine, if only we could see through time.<br />
I know it&#8217;s god I know he&#8217;s here as we travel through the stratosphere&#8230;..</p>
<p>The birth of the sun&#8230;.</p>
<p>Into the darkness of the night I&#8217;m sure I saw a different light.<br />
It shone so bright, it lit the tree, where I saw the bumble bee.<br />
Into the universe was born, a light that shone into the morn. </p>
<p>It started from deep within; you could have heard them drop a pin.<br />
The light was born, the time was now, they never had a sacred cow.<br />
Into the darkness came the light it shone out brightly in the night.<br />
It danced, it jumped, it sang with glee, cause it was happy to be free.</p>
<p>Without the light, what would we see, would we see the bumble bee.<br />
We need the light to shine so bright, and light our way throughout the night.<br />
We don&#8217;t want to be in the dark, we can&#8217;t go playing in the park&#8230;.</p>
<p>The birth of a child&#8230;.</p>
<p>A child is born into the light, a saviour of the people’s rights.<br />
Who knows the message that he brings, and the secret of the ring.</p>
<p>The new messiah cometh here from far outside the stratosphere.<br />
Into the world the saviour born he comes without his crown of thorns.</p>
<p>He comes because we cannot see, not because of bumble bees.<br />
He has message that he brings, of things, of things, and things and things..</p>
<p>The Fallen Angel</p>
<p>She fell from heaven in the night, oh isn&#8217;t she a pretty sight.<br />
Her lips are red, her eyes blue, her crown of light comes shining through.<br />
Was she pushed, or did she fall and did she slam against the wall. </p>
<p>She&#8217;s lost from heaven all alone, I wonder if she&#8217;ll make it home.<br />
There&#8217;s something she can feel inside, there&#8217;s something from the other side.<br />
It fills her troubled heart with fear, because she thinks it&#8217;s coming here.</p>
<p>There is a message sent from hell, she came down here for all to tell.<br />
You know the message, it won&#8217;t be long, don&#8217;t let them sing the sacred song.<br />
I won&#8217;t sing. It won&#8217;t be me; I won&#8217;t kill the bumble bee.</p>
<p>If you had thought you&#8217;d get away, and come back on another day.<br />
Well think again the time is near, it&#8217;s only in another year.<br />
Don&#8217;t be scared, and don&#8217;t you cry, cause maybe this is just lie&#8230;..</p>
<p>Broken heart&#8230;.</p>
<p>I gave my love as people do; you took my love I gave to you.<br />
I said I&#8217;d love her for all time, I wonder if that is a crime.<br />
The years they came, the years they went, I always thought<br />
that they were meant.<br />
You broke my heart, I don&#8217;t know why, I never understood the lie.</p>
<p>When darkness falls into the night, I cannot see the fading light.<br />
I wander here, I wander there, my heart is sad when you&#8217;re not there.<br />
The light within my heart grows dim, and I know I&#8217;ll never win.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m lost just now, I don&#8217;t know why; I wonder if she&#8217;ll ever cry.<br />
I think about her all the time, but now I feel I&#8217;m doing fine.<br />
She broke my heart, she doesn&#8217;t care, and people only come to stare.<br />
She trapped my heart, it&#8217;s in tree, I wish It was the bumble bee.<br />
They say that love will be for ever, but never, never, never, never&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>The Fire bird of Satan</p>
<p>Satan&#8217;s sole is trapped with chains, heavens let him out again.<br />
He came up here to claim your sole, and he brought with him the plagues of old.<br />
The signs are out there that he&#8217;s back, I heard a rumour he brought Jack.</p>
<p>The wings are pierced, the chains are tight, oh this is a ferocious sight.<br />
To let him go would be sin; his evil friends are closing in.<br />
It won&#8217;t take much to set him free, but he might kill the bumble bee.</p>
<p>Although some of you don&#8217;t believe, the fate of life is with the bee.<br />
If he escapes, and he gets free, I know he&#8217;ll kill the bumble bee.<br />
So if you see him in the dark, don&#8217;t go playing in the park.<br />
Go away and hide somewhere, and never let him know your there.</p>
<p>A time of change is on its way, were going to see a different day.<br />
It&#8217;s coming soon, it will be fine, there&#8217;s going to be a change in time.<br />
Look at stars to see the sign; it&#8217;s coming from the depths of time.<br />
If only we could understand there&#8217;s going to be a change in man&#8230;</p>
<p>Loss of faith&#8230;</p>
<p>I told your story from the start, the world and heaven far apart.<br />
They say that we all look for love, we seek it out from up above.<br />
I looked up to the stars above, to see if I could see your love.</p>
<p>We worship him, who&#8217;s up above; we worship him we look for love.<br />
You think it&#8217;s real, I think it&#8217;s not, but no one seems to care a lot.<br />
We need his love, we don&#8217;t know why; the story often makes us cry.</p>
<p>The story never told of bees, the bees that sleep amongst the trees.<br />
It always spoke of you and me, but never of the bumble bees.<br />
We wonder if he&#8217;s coming back, the man of glory with the ark.<br />
He said he will, but I’m not sure, he promised to look at the poor.</p>
<p>If you believe and you&#8217;re not mad, don&#8217;t you think that this is sad?<br />
A story that is in book, a story that has been mistook&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>She cannot see..</p>
<p>She cannot see, she is not blind, the eyes she had, were so kind.<br />
Often she will dream of love, the type that comes from up above.<br />
She&#8217;s lonely now, she&#8217;s in the dark, she&#8217;s slowly walking in the park.</p>
<p>She wears the rag so they don&#8217;t stare, and they can&#8217;t see her walking there.<br />
It&#8217;s always night, it&#8217;s always dark and she&#8217;s walking in the park.<br />
She&#8217;s lonely now, she&#8217;s in the park, she&#8217;s slowly walking in the dark.</p>
<p>She dreams of light, and dreams of day, and dreams of where she used to play.<br />
She wants to be, she wants to see, she wants to see a bumble bee.<br />
If we could give her back her sight and take her from the lonely night. </p>
<p>If only we could understand, the power that is in our hands.<br />
To help someone, who cannot see, and maybe even set them free!<br />
Her voice is silent in the night, it might be cause she&#8217;s lost her sight.<br />
She&#8217;s lonely now, she&#8217;s in the dark, she&#8217;s slowly walking in the park.<br />
She&#8217;s lonely now she&#8217;s in the park, she&#8217;s slowly walking in the dark&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>The flood&#8230;.</p>
<p>The light shines out for all to see, the waters came, it wasn&#8217;t me!<br />
The flood it happened in the sea, I think it was the bumble bee.<br />
From where it came, I&#8217;ll never know, the waters flowed and flowed and flowed.</p>
<p>We had been warned, we had been told, the future of the world was sold.<br />
We sometimes listen but do not hear, we think it is a time of fear.<br />
He wasn&#8217;t happy, he was mad, the sea was tall and getting bad.<br />
The waters deep and dark and blue, it only made me think of you. </p>
<p>We&#8217;re now alone, around us sea, the water rises above me.<br />
The flowers gone, and I can see, the dying of a lonely tree.<br />
If only we could understand, this is his place, this is his land.<br />
He gave us life, he gave us hope, we wanted more than just a pope.<br />
We never listen, we never care, it looks as if we&#8217;re going nowhere.<br />
We&#8217;ve got to think, we got it wrong, we should have heard, the sacred song…</p>
<p>The golden moon&#8230;.</p>
<p>The golden moon it shines its light, it shines upon the evening night.<br />
The evening light it fades away, and closes out another day.<br />
The light beams streak across the sky, I wonder if they&#8217;ll get me high. </p>
<p>The rosy lips, their coloured red, a kiss from them could make us dead.<br />
The apple sits below the tree, it dropped from high and now it&#8217;s free.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to think, If you were free, would you sit under the apple tree.<br />
The serpent snakes they sit and wait, you better watch and shut the gate.<br />
As time goes by, you wait and see, in case we see the bumble bee!</p>
<p>The love gangster&#8230;.</p>
<p>He broke her heart, he&#8217;s out to win, we all think that this is a sin.<br />
He talks about, he walks about, he doesn&#8217;t care a jot about.<br />
He never cared, he never will, as he walks smugly down the hill. </p>
<p>The ring of steel is round his heart, it&#8217;s always been there from the start.<br />
He knows the game he plays it well, is it so easy for him to sell.<br />
He walks through life without a care, he wonders why there&#8217;s no one there.</p>
<p>They love his eyes, they love his smile but they should run a hundred miles.<br />
He won&#8217;t commit he never will, he&#8217;s always sitting on the hill.<br />
He looks on down from up above and swears that he will share his love.</p>
<p>His hat is tall, his hat is smart, he uses it to break their heart.<br />
He leads them in, he wins their love, and then he takes of like a dove.<br />
If only they could see his wings, they&#8217;d go and look at other things.<br />
I think I see, that he may be, the keeper of the bumble bee&#8230;..</p>
<p>The tree of life&#8230;.</p>
<p>The tree of life, it cannot speak, but if it could, would it be weak.<br />
It knows the story from the start, it is a tree, but has heart.<br />
Its eyes are open, but can it see, the tree of life is watching me!</p>
<p>He watched the story, it did unfold, he kept the secret, and has not told.<br />
We stitched his lips, and stitched his eyes, so he could not, tell a lie.<br />
The tree it grows from underground it does not hear a single sound.<br />
It reaches up into the lights, the tree of life it loves the night.</p>
<p>From far away the moon looks down, it shines it&#8217;s light upon the crown.<br />
From deep within the serpent crawls, he tries to steal the secret haul.<br />
Do we not care about the tree, it guards our life, it guards the key.<br />
We should do more to save the tree, it gives out life for you and me<br />
and also for the bumble bee&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>The rose&#8230;.</p>
<p>She knows her name, she has my heart. She always had it from the start.<br />
The symbol of a love forever, I always hope we&#8217;ll be together.</p>
<p>In time we got to know each other, it ended up that we were lovers.<br />
We walked a road, we shared the space, it took us to a greater place.</p>
<p>And through the time we met as one the Rose, the symbol of our sons.<br />
I need her more than words can say; it couldn&#8217;t be a different way.</p>
<p>We know each other like a book; our love has never been mistook.<br />
She is for me, she is the key, she holds the secret of the bee.</p>
<p>I love her now, I loved her then, I&#8217;ll always love her as friend.<br />
The time it comes, the times it goes, I wonder if she ever knows&#8230;</p>
<p>The bumble bee&#8230;.</p>
<p>He seems to come, and then he goes, from here to there but<br />
 no one knows.<br />
He has a queen, she has a nest, they tell me that it is the best.<br />
He needs the sun, so he can fly, away from all the butterflies.<br />
He travels here, he travels there, but we can&#8217;t see him anywhere. </p>
<p>He works so hard, you&#8217;d never know, but he is always on the go.<br />
If not for him, we wouldn&#8217;t see the people that we want to be.<br />
He works his magic in the sun, I wonder if he&#8217;s having fun.<br />
He has a secret no one knows, he helps to make the flowers grow. </p>
<p>So if you see him, don&#8217;t do a thing, or he could hurt you with his sting.<br />
He isn&#8217;t bad, he isn&#8217;t good; he just thinks he&#8217;s misunderstood.<br />
Well let him live, give him a chance, and he will do his magic dance. </p>
<p>Around the flowers he will go, and he will put on quite a show.<br />
Remember this, and don&#8217;t forget, the bumble bee has been sent.<br />
Sent to help from up above, so don&#8217;t forget to give him love.<br />
Maybe it&#8217;s that we can&#8217;t see the magic of the bumble bee.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Slate</p>
<p>A sorry young man seeking advice<br />
stopped for answers at a house of christ.<br />
No..god doesnt see me anymore<br />
frozen in fear &#8230;his hand on the door.</p>
<p>He turned on his heel and started walking away<br />
the pastor stopped him and to him did say<br />
&#8221; dont be afraid brother&#8230;in faith you can depend&#8221;<br />
God has your answer and he is your friend.</p>
<p>The pastor I followed into this place<br />
hoping for answers, seeking his grace.<br />
he lead me to the back and offered a seat<br />
your answers are here son&#8230;what do you seek?</p>
<p>&#8220;Pastor&#8221; I told him, &#8221; I no longer believe&#8221;<br />
&#8220;No worries my son, Faith can still be achieved&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Does god still see me? Am i still loved?&#8221;<br />
&#8221; Your father still loves you&#8230;believe in above&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My life is so empty&#8230;I feel alone&#8221;<br />
&#8220;God is the way&#8230;the path will be shown&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Can this be true&#8230;can this be right?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Believe in our father&#8230;look to his light&#8221;</p>
<p>I fell to my knees and started to pray,<br />
Looking for the answers to show me the way&#8230;<br />
&#8220;God please forgive me, My faith it was shaken&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Set me on the right way&#8230;on this path i have taken&#8221;</p>
<p>Now i am waiting&#8230;the results of my fate&#8230;<br />
The lord whispered back..&#8221; You are forgiven&#8230;I&#8217;ve wiped clean your slate.&#8221;<br />
I started to sob&#8230;I started to cry.<br />
The lord has forgiven me and I still dont know why.</p>
<p>He whispered again &#8221; Dont fear son ,I know you are lost&#8221;<br />
&#8220;But to save you my child, my son died on a cross.&#8221;<br />
Thank you my lord&#8230;for healing my soul,<br />
My spirit was empty, my heart took the toll.</p>
<p>Gone now are all of my sorrows of late&#8230;<br />
&#8220;My son you are welcome&#8230;I wiped clean your slate.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the night is falling in France,<br />
I gaze at a beautiful star,<br />
Dazzled to make your acquittance,<br />
I envision that&#8217;s where you are.</p>
<p>Since it&#8217;s a star you can&#8217;t define,<br />
It makes it stunning and unique,<br />
I can not help but imagine,<br />
Maybe it&#8217;s the one God visits.</p>
<p>Please, forever be by my side,<br />
Here&#8217;s my one and only wish,<br />
Without you I can not survive,<br />
Do not let me fail and perish.</p>
<p>You constantly read on my mind,<br />
I do not need to speak out loud,<br />
You trully taugh me to be kind,<br />
Are you watching me from a cloud?</p>
<p>You are the one I want to serve,<br />
With obedience and affection,<br />
There is nothing you don&#8217;t deserve,<br />
Object of my adoration.</p>
<p>Each time I step into a church,<br />
I feel you starring in my soul,<br />
It&#8217;s like my heart is gonna burst,<br />
My whole mind becomes your tool.</p>
<p>So can we unite forever?<br />
To heaven gate i will arrive,<br />
We&#8217;re all admiring your power,<br />
And for your glory I will strive.</p>
<p>When my life is turning tragic,<br />
I count on you to cheer me up,<br />
You always bring me some magic,<br />
Implying to never give up.</p>
<p>Why would one be an atheist?<br />
You have proved me your existence,<br />
It is a fact that you exist,<br />
I have no doubt of your presence.</p>
<p>Always carrying you in my heart,<br />
Regardless of where I will land,<br />
Thank you for keeping me unhurt,<br />
It is your cause that I defend.</p>
<p>Daddy I love you evermore,<br />
You will always be my father,<br />
You are the one that I adore,<br />
Thou art my lord and my savior.</p>

<p>my religion or my race.</p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t laugh at what i wear,</p>

<p>Please look a little deeper</p>
<p>way down inside,</p>

<p>Behind my clothes, secrets lie</p>
<p>behind my smile, I softly cry.</p>
<p>Please look a little deeper</p>
<p>and maybe you&#8217;ll see,</p>
<p>the lonely girl inside of me.</p>
<p>Please listen to me carefully,</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll show that I&#8217;m insecure.</p>
<p>Please try to be a friend to me and maybe you will see,</p>
<p>that if you look deep enough</p>
<p>you will see the real me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>History was written topsy- turvy.<br />
Myths adapted as corner stones<br />
On the edifice of faith.<br />
Religion fostered myths as scriptures.<br />
Rationale is hired by religions and churches.<br />
God is created in their fancy, and fantasies.<br />
Intellect of humans, are governed by legislation.<br />
Imagination imprisoned by imbeciles.<br />
Power politics sway at the controls.<br />
Human rights are stampeded by cattle,<br />
In the guise, of jurists.<br />
Freedom of thinking is in shackles.<br />
God men/women are amassing and hoarding<br />
Wealth, directing and producing blue films;<br />
Dealing in arms and narcotics,<br />
Exploiting the faithful, through magic,<br />
Miracle healing touch and prayers.</p>
<p>Multitudes are under sedation of scriptures,<br />
Translated, according to their whims.<br />
Religion has truly become, the ‘opium of the people’.<br />
And turned them into puppets; strings in the hands<br />
Of marauders, behind the curtain.</p>
<p>The world is under siege by demons,<br />
At the helm of all affairs; good and bad.<br />
This is the Golden Era of Enlightenment!<br />
Similar to French Revolution, Renaissance<br />
And Second World War!<br />
We talk of global warming, common market,<br />
Ozone layer, nuclear power, and landing on Mars,<br />
When people are leading strife strewn days,<br />
Vitiated morals, and spewing violence;<br />
And people are dying without food and shelter,<br />
Of tsunamis, earth quakes, floods, and hurricanes.<br />
We are progressing! But whither?</p>
