Wish You Were Here (feat. John Rzeznik)

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blues skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a vail
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange?
A walk on part in the war?
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish
How I wish you were here
We're just two lost soul swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Wish You Were Here

so, so you think you can tell heaven from hell,
blue skies from pain
can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
a smile from a veil?
do you think you can tell?
and did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
hot ashes for trees?
hot air for a cool breeze?
cold comfort for change?
and did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
how I wish, how I wish you were here
we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year running over the same old ground
what have you found?
the same old fears
wish you were here

Wish You Were Here

So
So you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skys from grey
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Yeah do you think you can tell
Did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
Yeah and did you exchange
A walk on part in this war
For a leading role in a cage
How I wish, how I wish you were here
Were just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Were running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Well I wish you were here
I said I wish you were here yeah
Oh how I wish you were here
How I wish you were here
Hey and I wish you were here
Hey my rock star
How did you get so turned around
My rock star
How you did you get so turned around
Oh my rock star
(how did you get so turned around)
Did you get so turned around
Hey my my rock star
(how did you get so turned around
Inside out
Cut it all out now

Cut it out now
Cut it out now
Cut it out now
Cut it out now
Cut it all out now
Cut it all out now
Cut it all out

Wish You Were Here

[Wyclef Jean]
Lets go
So so you think you can tell
heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail
A smile from a fair
do you think you can tell
Did they get you to trade
your heros for goals
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
for a lead role in the game

whether you listenin to hip hip-hop
or you tuning to rock
refugees on your box
we gonna take over ya blocks

lets go
How I wish

Hoped of Change

I've hoped for change
It gets better everyday
But still I fell the same

I've hoped for change
It get's better everyday
But I will let you decide

I've hoped for change
It get's better everyday
But I just can't tell

I've hoped for change
It get's better everyday
can you see the diffrence?

I've hoped for change
I think I know
But I just can't tell
can you see the diffrence?

I've hoped for change
But still I fell the same
It get's better everyday
But I will let you decide
can you tell the diffrence?

Time For Change

Mundane predictability
Dawns on me like the sunrise
There's no unknown within the place
Where I exist
Mechanic like occurrence
Of each days routine
With prosaic efficiency
That steals the dream
If you always do what you've always done
And you always sing what you've always sung
Then you'll always get what you always had
If you always go where you've always been
You'll always see what you've always seen
And you'll always be who you always are
It's time for change, can't live like this no more
It's time for change, can't live like this no more
The insecurity of difference
It threatens my very core
It wraps and binds me up
To the comfort point

Every Day Is Exactly The Same

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again, that might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what Ive been told
I really dont want them to come around, oh no
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think Im happy here
(Sometimes)
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I cant remember how this got started
Oh, but I can tell you exactly how it will end
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
Ill write it on a little piece of paper
Im hoping, someday, you might find
Well Ill hide it behind something
They wont look behind
I am still inside her
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this couldve been any other way
But I just dont know, I dont know what else I can do
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
(Every day is the same!)

Why I Do Not Have To Ride In The Same Boat With All Of You

i do not wish to arrive on the same boat
with all of you

when you are all there
there will be hugs, and kisses from children and
well-wishing of the family

the grandchild will shout for joy
as grandma descends from the planks

there is this kind of drama that i cannot withstand
my envy is stormy
and i think i can't stand it without its accompanying
sinking

what a poor boat, sinking to the bottom of the ocean
as you all depart towards some happy homes all waiting

Sonnet: If You Want To Do Great Things!

There are days of sunshine and of rain/ dew;
There are months of winter followed by spring;
There are lovely things, this earth has for you;
There are days of silence, one’s when you sing.

There are days of weather rough and fine too;
There are times for both good moods and bad ones;
Each one in life has many things to do;
Get started now and never self-renounce.

Think laterally and positively, Man;
Waste not energy, pessimistically;
Nurture your thoughts and only then you can
Look beyond the horizon basically.

To walk on sand isn’t the same as on soil!
Ponder, don’t panic and never recoil!

My Feelings For You Remain the Same

After all that has been said and done,
My feelings for you remain the same.

'Sooo...
That's a relief.
I too have changed.
I am glad you have forgiven me! '

Who is talking about forgiveness?
Didn't I just say...
After all that has been said and done,
My feelings for you remain the same.

You're going to have to do,
Some jumping through some hoops!
Roll over, bark!
And make me a good cup of coffee.
Hop on one leg...
And beg in Chinese!

'But I don't know any Chinese.'

LIES!
We use to have it once a week.
You use to order the 'Goo Goo..
AND the Wonton with the General Tso.
Who do you think you're fooling?
You haven't changed at all.

Understand For Sure, You Are Here To Learn What Understanding Is!

Can you see dear,
life itself is the fountain of infinite Self,
That tiny drops of life raise from and fall into same,
Rainbow of enchanting beauty,
That due to light of soul,
showing its enchanting colours.
In every drops, large or tiny alike,
Flora and fauna are those devices of self,
rainbow looks more clear,
When tiny drops are in abundance!

Self manifesting its capabilities,
That all energies and forces too,
Change their form for the play of the formless,
Who is in eternal play appearing in various forms,
Formless showing his ability to assume any form!

Life is a school, with dress code,
Uniform that the kids of self wear,
Show in which class they learn,
Showing level of evolution of mind,
Tuning to the mind of that infinite!
Look at the uniform you and me wearing,
top most class in which we study,
Don't engage in ragging juniors,
Look inside,
Know for sure, you have the source of fountain of life,
That eternal loving Self act through you
Understand you are here to learn,
What understanding means!

The last thing I have, to offer you

Not long back
I was standing tall with
My branches spread
Upwards, downwards and
In all directions sideward

It was green all around my trunk
My leaves glittering in the bright sun
They fell just after winter
Only to strike again with full vigour

I used to blossom in yellow
With pendant like red dots in the middle
And my flowers shared in secret
The whispers of young lovers in my town
Some offered my flowers to their gods
And felt blessed by the divine
These flowers attracted insects
And colourful butterflies
Who returned intoxicated
Totally nectar drunk

I bore cherry red fruits
They were feast to sparrows
Squirrels and crows
Children of the town
Squeezed my fruits
And enjoyed the sweet flesh
Coated over the big seed inside

My branches housed nests
With young birds waiting for
Their mother's return to feed them
And my thin branches helped
These young birds launch their
First flights under their mother’s guard

At times over my dark rough bark
Snakes ran up to the nests
To prey on the eggs and young ones
I was happy never once these snakes succeeded

My roots were ever busy
Tapping soil nutrients and
Sending them up to each of my tip

My leaves waved and ensured
Regular flow of oxygen rich cool air
Adding comfort to those who chose
To rest a while beneath my mammoth shadow

It was all pleasure for me
To see many around me in comfort
With whatever I can offer to them

All these came to a sudden end
When an unkind lightning struck me
I received the shock of my life
A hot wave ran through the entire me
From the top to the root bottom

And what happened
All functions in me
Came to an abrupt end
My leaves turned yellow and brown
To leave me and they fell in silence
My branches dried and turned black
The fruits did not ripe
I started drying up with no more
Supply of water from the ground

I am stark naked standing like a
Threatening skeleton
Birds, insects and people
Do not visit me
Am I turning useless

But let people know I have some thing
Also to offer
Delay further not and cut me
Burn me and enjoy the warmth
Of my heat and of my burning heart
The last thing I have, to offer you

Without You

Feel so alone and sad
As if the meaning of being alive, exists no more
Nothing I have and nobody is here for me
Often, I feel so lost
Do not know where I belong, since without you life has no meaning
It is better to die than to live a lost life
I know you do not hear me anymore because you simply do not care
Knowing, I will have to be without you for the rest of my life
Feels really terrible and no words can explain this sadness of mine
An empty life I have
In which I am just a lost soul, with no meaning left to live
It is better to die, although even death does not come that easily
Just feel very sad, without you my love.

You Are Here

you are here
at this point
you read
these few lines

do not panic
about what you will be

that is the business
of the future

you do not go there
where it will still be
they come to you
slowly
do not panic
do not ever be excited
do not even think

it will just come
to you
for you
you do not change
it will change
you

you have no feet
to walk in there
no mind to think
about what will be
it is futile

the future has a mind
of its own
its rules
and premonitions

it comes and be open
it has its own arms
and will soon embrace you
for whatever it brings
be glad

things happen
because they always will
do not begin
it will always be futile

You Do Not Have To Apologize

You do not have to apologize, I understand;
You do not have to explain your actions, I do not require one;
You do not have go over what we had once planned,
Because we both were not ready, yet now desire one!
What we are supposed to do, is whatever you decide,
I will be with you all the way, and be there with pride
I shall, all the way-never wavering in my fidelity
Toward you, despite what has occured-this does naught for our futurity,
But repeat our mistakes of the past, in not forgetting them!
Only when you allow the past and others to decide, are you letting them
Decide the life that you lead, and not them-it is not their's to question-
Once more Beloved, God wants you to Truly know, that this is the lesson
That He wishes to impart to both of us, as part of the same lesson, Planned-
And we must be obedient to His every Wish for us, to His every Command!

The Same Old You

Yeah I remember you back in 72
With your david bowie hair and your platform shoes
A part-time job, sellin fast food
But out on the street you were nobodys fool
Baby way down deep its the same old you
Way down deep you aint hiding the truth
Just for a minute you had me fooled
Baby way down deep its the same old you
Well you can walk through the city on fire
You can try and turn away from the truth
Living life like a young politician
Sure of yourself and bullet-proof
But baby,
Way down deep its the same old you
Way down deep you aint hiding the truth
Just for a minute you had me confused
Baby way down deep its the same old you
We could buy a 62 cadillac
Put a fender amplifier in the back
Drive straight to the heart of america
Turn up to ten, let that sucker blast
Baby way down deep its the same old you
Way down deep you aint hiding the truth
Just for a minute you had me fooled
Baby way down deep its the same old you

Not What You See

Love is not what you see
Love is bond and makes you feel free
Enjoy and be part of dreamy world
Always nice to be together in lovely fold

Don’t feel alone as we are one
We can make it nice one by one
You have your own way
But stay near and don't go away

Make it easy to take free air
No foul play and treatment very fair
This is strongest desire from female partner
As you will be her protector and Gardner

It doesn’t matter what you try and seek
It always matters that you remain strong and not turn weak
Love demands sacrifice at every turn
It is both the ways and mandatory to return

Why expect that only females may surrender?
They will have no say and merely fall under
For what has been unsaid and agreed for
So utmost care to be taken not to turn the relation sour

I have heard it number of times
The promises are forgotten sometimes
It may happen when tide turns in disfavor
Yet it should not be at the cost of personal honor

Leave it besides if it costs your relation
No bad emotions should be given any indication
Effort should be on to improve upon
The bond will not be lost but certainly won

You Say You Don't Love Me

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me 'cause I'm in love with you
And I wouldn't want you doing things you don't want to do
Oh you know I've always wanted you to be in love with me
And it took so long to realize the way things have to be
I wanted to live in a dream that couldn't be real

And I'm starting to understand now the way that you feel

You say you don't
You say you don't
You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me 'cause I have got the time
To wait in case someday you maybe change your mind
I've decided not to make the same mistakes this time around
As I'm tired of having heartaches I've been thinking and I've found
I don't want to live in a dream
I want something real

And I think I understand now the way that you feel

You say you don't
You say you don't
You say you don't

You say you don't
You say you don't
You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me
I'm not in love with you
I just want us to do the things we both want to do
Though I've got this special feeling I'd be wrong to call it love
For the word entails a few things that I would be well rid of
I've no need to live in a dream
It's finally real

And I hope you now understand this feeling I feel
You say you don't
You say you don't
You say you don't love me
You say you don't love me
You say you don't love me

It is as if you are here with me

You forgot your green jersey here with me
and the perfume that is clinging to it
makes me long much more for you

and it is as if you are here with me
tonight you will walk in,

but when you called just now
I could not tell you
this kind of thing

and I am here and you are there
and I wonder when
you are coming to get your jersey?

Wish You Were Here

would you stay for one night?
if i didn't come home?
the end of a big fight
doesn't matter anymore
the point in my midlife
situation stands
but hours pass like years
wish you were here
wish you were here
did i open an old wound?
is there something i should know?
if it's all ending so soon
how could i possibly let go?
comes to a head

You Weren't The Same.......

Now I dont know
Why you changed so much,
We used to exchange
Our secret love,
I feel forlorn, you aren't
The same as before,
I pray always you to return
To your way as before,
I long for your hand
In my hand and a muse
On our lips
Which we enjoyed a long time,
Come on, baby,
Change back where you were
When we can be together
And be happy as afore,
Change baby change,
And be my love again,
And be pleasure of my heart.
