Come Together

You can all call me crazy
For the things that I might say
You can laugh all you want to
I know there will come a day
When we all will come together
And learn to set aside our hate
If we could learn to love our neighbors
Just like we would love ourselves
We've got to come together
'Cause in the end we can make it - alright
We've got to brave the weather
Through all of the storms
We've got to come together
'Cause in the end we can make it - alright
We've got to learn to love
We've got to learn to love
You can call me a dreamer
But these dreams will come true
Yes, I am a firm believer
In the things that we can do
If we would all just come together
And let the Lord lead our way
There is nothing that we can't do
There is nothing we can't face
'Cause in the end we can make it - alright
We've got to brave the weather
Through all of the storms
We've got to come together
'Cause in the end we can make it - alright
We've got to learn to love
I know that there will come a day
When the Lord will call His own away
To a place that He has made for all of us
But until the day of His return
There's a lesson that we've got to learn
We are brothers and we're sisters
We are one
We've got to come together
'Cause in the end we can make it - alright
We've got to brave the weather
Through all of the storms
We've got to come together
'Cause in the end we can make it - alright
We've got to learn to love

Concrete Jungle

No sun will shine in my day today;
The high yellow moon won't come out to play:
I said darkness has covered my light,
and the stage my day into night, yeah.
Where is the love to be found?
Won't someone tell me?
cause my life must be somewhere to be found -
Instead of concrete jungle ,
Where the living is harder .

Concrete jungle :
Man you got to do your best. wo-ooh, yeah.
No chains around my feet,
But I'm not free, oh-ooh!
I know I am bound here in captivity;
Gyeah, now - I've never known happiness;
I've never known what sweet caress is -
Still, I'll be always laughing like a clown;
Won't someone help me? 'cause I -
I've got to pick myself from off the ground
he-yeah! -
In this a concrete jungle :
I said, what do you cry for me now, o-oh!
Concrete jungle , ah, wont you let me be, now.
Hey! oh, now!
---
I said that life - it must be somewhere to be found
Oh, instead: concrete jungle - collusion -
Confusion . eh!

Thank You!

You know...God is so good...just every once in a while when I'm needing a pick-me-up He brings just what I need...I've been feeling a little overwhelmed with the task at hand: raising children and attempting to keep a household running...
this morning Sterling ran into the kitchen as I was starting breakfast and said,"Quick-momma, come look out the door!" So, I did and what did I see? A bird...just sitting on our welcome mat at the back door. I think it must've flown into the glass and stunned itself or something, but we opened the door and it just sat there, so I slowly reached out and stroked it's head and it closed it's eyes and leaned into my touch. I thought it must have a broken wing or something, so I slowly picked it up and checked it over...nothing was wrong with it. No broken bones, no bleeding, no discharge from eyes or nose or mouth...it just perched on my finger and looked around at us. We went and sat on the couch thing outside and we were talking to it and it just continued to chill out checking us over. I asked Sterling to go get the camera and when he did Dyoji came outside and startled it a bit, so it hopped to the coffee table and just looked around...we put Dyoji back inside and took a few pictures of it and I said, "Thank you for visiting us today." It looked around and flew off...anyway it was pretty sweet and I feel much calmer and uplifted...thought I'd share!
