The stranger within

I saw a disabled man sweeping the street My heart cried out, it wept for him Why do we still not care? We let him do it, How can we bare? Yes, God made one and all To love and care for each other To be there for one another But why do we let him sweep the street Why not us do the deed? Will we ever stand as one Because this is what the Lord wants For us to live in harmony with each other To care for and love each other Did He not say unto us – “Love thy neighbor as you love yourself”

Sometimes in my life A stranger passes by That I’d stop to stare Though I’m not aware That makes a change Which often seems to amaze Sometimes in a day When thing won’t go my way I think back To what I now lack I think of days gone by Which now lay far behind Sometimes in my dreams I think of what could have been I think of what I would change To have things go my way And sometimes I do weep For our love that could have been

Behind my silence I hide my thoughts Behind my thoughts I hide my words Behind my words I hid the meaning Behind the meaning I hide my heart Behind a closed door no one sees But through an open window the light flows free Behind you there is me Behind me there is who Behind my courage I hide my fear Behind my smile I hide my tears Behind the wall around my heart Flows my love for you that will never part

A plethora of opportunities has dawned on me A bewitching love has captured me A spell of love or lust I’m under That gives me joy in abundance It is unexplainable just how I feel Whilst I know for you my love is real As free as the sun can rise So to my love can shine Perhaps it is because you are you Perhaps you took me out of the blue A plethora of opportunities has dawned on me Your bewitching love has captured me A spell of lust or love I am under It is you that gives me joy in abundance

No mercy I’ll give No loving you’ll receive You broke my heart and Left me with scars that last You deceived and You lied Whilst all the time I was too blind You told me that you love me You said that you cared But that was not true and You know it as well as I do Revenge is always sweet and That, my darling, is what you need To feel the pain and To remember that love is no game

Maybe you love me Maybe you care Maybe for me, you will always be there Maybe you will miss me Maybe you will scream Maybe this, is just another dream Maybe I am wrong Maybe you are right Maybe for me, you will fight But maybe is not enough I know I love you I know I care I know for you, I will always be there

Do you remember when she left? Do you remember that it was my shoulder you cried on? Do you remember that I wiped your tears? Do you remember that I took the blame for everything? Do you remember the hatred and abuse I had to deal with? Do you remember the pain I had to go thru alone? Do you remember that I called for months after to check how you are? Do you remember never calling me? Do you remember that I'm the youngest? Do you remember that you called me your pride and joy? Do you remember that I'm human too? Do you remember that I feel? Do you remember that I breathe? Do you even remember that I still exist? Do you?
