What ever happened to love What ever happened to peace Don't just say Whatever Don't just say it Don't just pray it What are we teaching our kids What are we teaching ourselves Don't just settle for whatever Don't you learn it Don't you love it Together We gotta get back together Stop letting left and right tear us apart Together We gotta get back together Stop letting black and white tear us apart What are we obsessed with now What are we addicted to today Don't let it use you Don't you share it Don't you love it What are we buying today What are we saving for tomorrow Don't let it consume you Don't you spend it Don't you waste it Together We gotta get back together Stop letting left and right tear us apart Together We gotta get back together Stop letting black and white tear us apart What ever happened to love What ever happened to peace Don't just say Whatever

standing on the deck watch the whitecaps rolling by the peaks, a moment's shadow, then they're gone, a lullaby stand still this will be accomplished in its time go slow stone's throw the distance from your heart melted down the firing pin stretched yourself so paper-thin caught the bullet right between your teeth never felt the ocean breeze swallowing the seven seas note to self: remember when to breathe been clinching fists so long don't remember how to hold your hand you can sing a simpler song still join the band stand still this will be accomplished in its time go slow stone's throw the distance from your heart melted down the firing pin stretched yourself so paper-thin caught the bullet right between your teeth never felt the ocean breeze swallowing the seven seas note to self: remember when to breathe

Some days I take for granted Not a lot of time to breathe When I take a minute I just can't believe Lucky doesn't cover it But This I know is true If I dreamed a thousand dreams They'd never live up to you I'm a lucky one I'm a lucky one Not everybody gets a day in the sun I am a lucky one We are the lucky ones Some people only see what's missing Always wanting more I refuse to play that game Clear on what I'm thankful for Place to rest my head friends and family Food to eat and music love And God bless NYC! I'm a lucky one Not everybody gets a day in the sun We are the lucky ones The lucky ones

There's roaches in the corner The meat rots on the shelf Little brothers all around me Trying to please themselves Well Mama's in the back room Drowning in her tears Daddy's been gone since I was born Lost in all the years I know I'm young and all I've got are ragged shoes on my feet And this blank stare on my face is something that drives me to the street I've tried so hard and prayed so long for a savior to come my way I guess I'll wear this blank stare on my face just one more day The kids at school can be so cruel They sit on their golden thrones Spitting out poison poetry That eats down to the bone Well they cheat they lie and they steal From their parents foolish pride Cast the first stone mother fuckers Conscience move aside I know I'm young and all I've got are ragged shoes on my feet And this blank stare on my face is something that drives me to the street I've tried so hard and prayed so long for a savior to come my way I guess I'll wear this blank stare on my face just one more day I can't wait to get out of this place Away from the wicked man Since Adam and the apple Part of the devil's plan I built my walls from steel Cast the pain into the fire Waiting for the judgement day And conviction of the liars I know I'm young and all I've got are ragged shoes on my feet And this blank stare on my face is something that drives me to the street I've tried so hard and prayed so long for a savior to come my way I guess I'll wear this blank stare on my face just one more day

Find My Religion I’ve seen the darkest man turn around in one day Said God had spoken in his ear And I really try to be good and help the other man But I guess my turn just hasn’t gotten here They say I’m born as a sinner How can I be so blind (Can’t find my religion) I can’t find my Religion (I try to find the truth) Try to find the truth (One day will it find me) One day – It will find me Before I’m through I don’t want to be the one to just get in line And pretend that I am just like you I wanna be real; I wanna see & hear & feel And unto myself it must be true They say I’m not really trying They say I’m not their kind (Can’t find my religion) Matbe it’s not my time (I try to find the truth) Hey!, I’m over here (One day will it find me) One sweet day – It’s gonna find me Before I’m through You know, maybe I could be the one who has it right As I’m surrounded by the beauty in this world Live as I am and don’t judge the other man And my peace of mind will be there when I go I see the love in our children We all should be so wise (Can’t find my religion) I can’t open my eyes (I try to find the truth) And I’m looking everywhere (One day will it find me) On that day – I keep climbing that mountain (Before I’m through) Until the day I’m through (Can’t find my religion) (I try to find the truth) I’m trying to find the truth (One day will it find me) One sweet day – It’ll find me Before I’m through

I was dead inside when you were just golden when you were so wonderful I was sinking ships I was setting fires upon holy ground How I love the night when everything works out Have they all just come to listen to me? I don't need to think about this mess I've made Have they all just come to listen to me? I would have the shakes for days on end when everything was cold in the middle. I just took a slight shift, I just picked a fight with myself while I was turning over Thanks to all the words That I never spoke of Have they all just come to listen to me I'll write my angry thoughts and put them into song Have they all just come to listen to me? I want to thank you for giving me notice I was a poem from another's hands I was just dizzy from all of the spinning I'd done all by myself Have they all just come to listen to me?

As a little girl I believed your every word And I trusted you to guide me through the world As we zigzagged down that highball road I asked you what the yellow light meant You said it meant you’d better go fast, the red light’s coming My shoulders caved from always carrying the burden Though you were the adult way back then I had to tiptoe through your flash flood moods And wished that I could choose a different life-any other life Even though you never really got to know me And you don’t know my heart’s been shattered At the end of the day I love you anyway And that’s all that matters So I shut you out and I kept silent all those years Telling you my feelings was a waste of my breath But I still wanted your attention Much more than I could ever mention It seems we both failed that test You said you always thought that I had it all together So you never worried about me Maybe you should Cause I spent too many nights right on the edge of the abyss Thinking no one cared Thank God I never dared The part of me that comes from you scares me sometimes And I go from swells of pride to bitter tears of shame Don’t get me wrong- I know where I belong And the best part will remain Even though you never really got to know me And you don’t know my heart’s been shattered At the end of the day I love you anyway And that’s all that matters That’s all that matters That’s all that matters

Look away, look away I've got some things I need to say Some notes I want to play I'm not sure if you'll like it Right away, I'm amazed Learn to roll through the days Did you notice the many ways I try to hide it And the nighttime rolls around It's hard to make a sound It's hard to make a sound For an audience of one Look away, look away I've got some things I need to say Some notes I want to play I'm not sure if you'll like it Right away, I'm amazed Learn to roll through the days Did you notice the many ways I try to hide it And the nighttime rolls around It's hard to make a sound It's hard to make a sound For an audience of one And the nighttime rolls around It's hard to turn around It's hard to turn around Once you've begun It's not exactly shyness It's not exactly fear It's the same crazy feeling that's plagued me for years It's not exactly whispers It's not exactly tears It's not remotely that I don't want you to hear And the nighttime rolls around It's hard to make a sound It's hard to make a sound For an audience of one And the nighttime rolls around It's hard to turn around It's hard to turn around Once you've begun

about

The assignment this week comes from DD:

"Working as fast as we do, we concentrate on craft but don’t always have the time to try to tap into anything particularly deep and personal. Let’s change that this week. I’d like for you to try to express something honest and authentic about who you are and how you feel or what you believe this week. Doesn’t have to be deeply autobiographical or confessional; you can talk about how much you love ice cream, if you’d like. But if something were to happen to you next week, god forbid, and this was the last song you were to write, let it be said that this one communicated something authentic about who you are at this point in time."
