    "Cats in the Cradle" Harry Chapin

    I substitue dad for mom and boy for child

    My child arrived just the other day,
    He came to the world in the usual way.
    But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay,
    He learned to walk while I was away.
    And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew,
    He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, yeh,
    I know I'm gonna be like you".

    (Chorus)
    And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
    Little Boy Blue and The Man In The Moon.
    "When ya comin' home Dad?"
    "I don't know when, we'll get together then, son,
    Ya know we'll have a good time then".

    (Verse 2)
    Well my son turned 10 just the other day,
    He said "Thanks for the ball Dad, come let's play.
    Can ya teach me to throw?" I said
    "Not today, I got a lot to do." He said "That's ok".
    And then, he walked away but his smile never dimmed,
    He said "I'm gonna be like him, yeh,
    Ya know I'm gonna be like him".

    (Chorus)
    And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
    Little Boy Blue and The Man In The Moon.
    "When ya comin' home Dad?"
    "I don't know when, we'll get together then, son,
    Ya know we'll have a good time then".

    (Verse 3)
    Well he came from college just the other day,
    So much like a man I just had to say
    "Son I'm proud of you, can ya sit for a while?"
    He shook his head, and he said with a smile
    "What I'd really like Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
    See ya later, can I have them please?"

    (Chorus)
    And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
    Little Boy Blue and The Man In The Moon.
    "When ya comin' home son?"
    "I don't know when, we'll get together then, Dad,
    Ya know we'll have a good time then".

    (Verse 4)
    Well I've long since retired, my son's moved away,
    I called him up just the other day.
    I said "I'd like to see you, if you don't mind."
    He said "I'd love to Dad, if I can find the time.
    You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
    But it's sure nice talking to you Dad,
    It's been sure nice talking to you."
    And as he hung up the phone it occurred to me,
    He'd grown up just like, my boy, was just like me.

    (Chorus)
    And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
    Little Boy Blue and The Man In The Moon.
    "When ya comin' home son?"
    "I don't know when, we'll get together then, Dad,
    We're gonna have a good time then".

    The milky way or even Mars
    Where it could just be ours

    Let's fade into the sun
    Let your spirit fly
    Where we are one
    Just for a little fun
    Oh oh oh yeah !

    I want to get away

    Oh, I didn't write those. I quoted a 14 th Century poet from Persia named Rumi.

    Another absolute favorite of mine - Federico Garcia Lorca

    Gacela of Unforseen Love

    No one understood the perfume
    of the dark magnolia of your belly.
    No one knew you martyred
    a hummingbird of love between those teeth.

    A thousand Persian carousels slept
    in the moon plaza of your forehead,
    while four nights I lashed myself
    to your waist, enemy of snow.

    Among the plaster and jasmine, you saw
    I was a pallid branch of seeds.
    I sought through my breast
    to give you letters of ivory saying always,

    always, always: garden of my last breath,
    your body escaped forever,
    the blood of your veins in my mouth,
    your mouth already without light for my death.

    Imagine

    John Lennon

    Imagine there's no heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today...

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace...

    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will be as one

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world...

    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will live as one

    I'm a real live woman..............................
    And I know no longer justify the reasons for the way that I behave
    I offer no apologies for the things that I believe and say...........
    And I like it that way.

    So what makes you think that you could take a life
    And just push it , push it around
    I guess to build yourself up so high
    You had to take her and break her down

    She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
    And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
    She never even knew she had a choice but thats what happens when
    the only voice she hears is telling her she can't

    It took a while for her to figure out that she could run, but when she did...........
    she was..............long gone, long gone

    American Soldier

    I'm just trying to be a father,
    Raise a daughter and a son,
    Be a lover to their mother,
    Everything to everyone.
    Up and at 'em bright and early,
    I'm all business in my suit,
    Yeah, I'm dressed up for success from my head down to my boots,
    I don't do it for the money, there's bills that I can't pay,
    I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway,
    Providing for our future's my responsibility,
    Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be,
    And I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekend's been too strong,
    I just work straight through the holidays,
    And sometimes all night long.
    You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door,
    Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey I'm true down to the core,
    And I will always do my duty, no matter what the price,
    I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice,
    Oh, and I don't want to die for you,
    But if dying's asked of me,
    I'll bear that cross with honor,
    'Cause freedom don't come free.
    2x-I'm an American soldier, an American,
    Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand,
    When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right,
    I'm out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight.
    American soldier, I'm an American,
    An American,
    An American Soldier

    stupid boy - keith urban
    (for all the ladies who've been hurt by stupid boys)

    well she was precious
    like a flower
    she grew wild
    wild but innocent
    perfect prayer in a desperate hour
    she was everything beautiful and different

    stupid boy
    you can't fence that in
    stupid boy
    it's like holding back the wind

    she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
    and you stole her every dream
    and you crushed her plans
    she never even knew she had a choice
    and that's what happens when the only voice she hears
    is telling her she cant
    stupid boy
    stupid boy

    so what made you think that you could take a life
    and just push it, push it around
    i guess to build yourself up so high
    you had to take her and break her down

    she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
    and you stole her every dream
    and you crushed her plans
    she never even knew she had a choice
    and that's what happens when the only voice she hears
    is telling her she cant
    and you stupid boy

    oh you always had to be right
    and now you've lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive

    she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
    and you stole her every dream
    and you crushed her plans, oh yes he did
    she never even knew she had a choice
    and that's what happens when the only voice she hears
    is telling her she cant

    you stupid boy
    oh I'm the same old same old stupid boy

    it took a while for her to figure out
    she could run
    but when she did
    she was long gone, long gone

    she loved me, she loved me
    god please just let her know im sorry
    im sorry, im sorry, im sorry baby
    im down on my knees
    she's never coming back to me

    So damn easy to say that life's so hard
    Everybody's got their share of battle scars
    As for me, I'd like to thank my lucky stars that I'm alive and well...
    It'd be easy to add up all the pain
    And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames
    Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
    But not me...I'm alive


    And today you know that's good enough for me
    Breathin' in and out's a blessing can't you see
    Today's the first day of the rest of my life and I'm alive
    And well...I'm alive and well

    (Dave Matthews)
    The stars are dancin' on the water here tonight
    It's good for the the soul when there's not a soul in sight
    This boat has caught its wind and brought me back to life now I'm alive and well

    One Moment In Time - Whitney Houston



    Each day I live
    I want to be a day to give the best of me
    I'm only one, but not alone
    My finest day is yet unknown
    I broke my heart for every gain
    To taste the sweet, I faced the pain
    I rise and fall,
    Yet through it all this much remains

    I want one moment in time
    When I'm more than I thought I could be
    When all of my dreams
    Are a heart beat away
    And the answers are all up to me
    Give me one moment in time
    When I'm racing with destiny
    Then in that one moment of time
    I will feel, I will feel eternity

    I've lived to be the very best
    I want it all, no time for less
    I've laid the plans
    Now lay the chance here in my hands

    Give me one moment in time
    When I'm more than I thought I could be
    When all of my dreams
    Are a heart beat away
    And the answers are all up to me
    Give me one moment in time
    When I'm racing with destiny
    Then in that one moment of time
    I will feel, I will feel eternity

    You're a winner for a lifetime
    If you seize that one moment in time
    Make it shine

    Give me one moment in time
    When I'm more than I thought I could be
    When all of my dreams
    Are a heart beat away
    And the answers are all up to me
    Give me one moment in time
    When I'm racing with destiny
    Then in that one moment of time
    I will be, I will be, I will be free

    I will be, I will be free

    I Believe



    I believe for every drop of rain that falls
    A flower grows
    I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
    A candle glows
    I believe for everyone who goes astray
    Someone will come to show the way
    I believe
    I believe

    I believe above the storm the smallest prayer
    Will still be heard
    I believe that someone in the great somewhere
    Hears every word
    Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
    Or touch a leaf, or see the sky
    Then I know why
    I believe

    Just found this thread and I love it.

    Can't hear music anymore, but it plays in my head and sometimes I dream music and it's so sweet.

    Some of these songs are very near and dear to me - Cat's In The Cradle - makes me so glad I'm home with my kids every day.

    Nillson - we just watched Midnight Cowboy the other night.

    I gotta go with some Dylan

    "The only thing I knew how to do was to keep on keepin' on" - Tangled Up In Blue

    thank you
