  • Where do They go, The Ones that are Not Represented

    The lyrics to the Song, the age-old problem, are available on all good music sites.


    Where do they go, the ones that lost
    the ones, that are not represented
    the ones that are lost
    who tried for something better
    but did not get it
     
    Democracy divides by the choices you make
    putting one side against the other, with a loser  guaranteed
     
    It is not freedom
    Even though there is a choice
    a choice that was not defined
    by you and I
    but by halls of power
    by the people who should know better
     
    How can it be when all people
    Can breathe so easily, yet can not live by one another
    that one can be so afraid and close the door on one  another
     
    Democracy divides by the choice
    put one side against the crack
    with  a loser guaranteed
     
    There has got to be another way
    there has got to be another way
    there has got to be another way

  • Is

    Is

    I have no idea about time sense or rhythm

    I have no idea about why that did happen

    I don’t know what is black or what is right

    I hear stories about this and that

    stories about you every now and than

    I used to be able to tell, but now I am no longer sure

    If I shoulder let you go or let you come back

    I can’t tell what is spinning about the air

    or what is coming down, to play with my world

    Yes I am with you, but for how long

    Cause I could be lying to my self, when I am not watching

    But I am so glad you are here, to wrap my arms around

    and if I can, I will take you all the way

    so you can see what it is all about after the thunder and rain

    If you can hear the man that is deaf

    can love what is not loved

    there is reason down the corridor

    There are cats and dog we are like

    we can’t see what is heard

    but we sure know what has been

    even if you can’t feel it anymore

    and your eyes are getting sore

    with you spirit picking pieces of the floor

    There are those that will rob you for your heart

    There are those that will rob you for your mind

    and there are those that will rob you and make you ask why

    If there is something you secretly want to give

    if there is something you feel then do it now

    before the hand of time moves across your face
