Still Love You ( Ilona Hesse )

It's hard for me to be happy,

When I see you smile,

It's difficult to laugh

When I see those sparkles in your eyes.

It hurts so deep inside,

That I have trouble to describe,

What I feel for you,

But you should know,

That I love you.

To see your heart jump for joy,

Makes my soul weak;

You are a part of me,

And yet I know that you're not.

It hurts so deep inside,

That I have trouble to describe,

What I feel for you,

But, before I go,

You should know,

I will always love you.

PUNCH SONG ( Friedrich Schiller )

Four elements, joined in

Harmonious strife,

Shadow the world forth,

And typify life.

Into the goblet

The lemon's juice pour;

Acid is ever

Life's innermost core.

Now, with the sugar's

All-softening juice,

The strength of the acid

So burning reduce.

The bright sparkling water

Now pour in the bowl;

Water all-gently

Encircles the whole.

Let drops of the spirit

To join them now flow;

Life to the living

Naught else can bestow.

Drain it off quickly

Before it exhales;

Save when 'tis glowing,

The draught naught avails.

( Friedrich Schiller )

ALL MEN ARE EQUAL? ( Emmenay )

Classes of people:

Classes in airplanes;

Classes in cinema halls;

And classes in trains.

Yet the slogan is:

All men are equal.

A small Afghan girl,

Sells burgers, earns rupees,

She is a refugee,

Whom should she trust?

People are enjoying,

Vacation and holidays,

Giving money and spending,

on breezy hill stations.

All men are equal!

Sounds good to the ear,

And pleasing to the eyes,

But, are all equal?

The Afghan girl replied:

"My burgers, they are swell.”

Sales Creed ( JOE PARENTE )

Take the highway 

Drive all night 

Client there, price it fair.

Move on down to next town.

When in sight, price it right.

Follow through, until you do,

You’re not through.

Repeat this action, give satisfaction.

Someday you’ll lunch,

With the same bunch.

They’ll buy you pie.

If you never lie.

You Took My Heart ( Ilona Hesse )

You took my heart

And locked it in a cage,

You got rid if the key;

Simply turned the book's page.

I haven't seen my heart,

But I still feel its beat,

And the thought of loving you,

Makes my poor soul weak.

Looking at your picture;

Framed by my hands.

Not sure what to do,

Not sure of my plans.

Am thinking of you,

And my heart you took.

Please take care of it,

Give it a second look.

It's very breakable,

So keep it by your side,

Because I might need it again

At some point of my life.

Standing Up ( Lisa Hecmanczuk )

You try to keep me down;

But I stand up,

You try to ignore me;

But I achieve

You pretend I’m not here;

But I breathe

You look at me with disgust;

Yet I smile

You invade my space;

Now I claim it,

You startle me with your anger;

Now I accept it,

Your anger you must now own;

I walk away

My fear no longer rules me;

God does

I will no longer be shut away;

I am myself,

I will let myself shine;

And God will lead me.

Christmas Wonders ( Brian Wrixon )

Christmas dawns in a faraway land

We wonder what you will eat today

In our land of plenty we can forget

What hunger is like for you

Christmas dawns in a faraway land

We wonder if you will be well today

In our land of health we can forget

What sickness is like for you

Christmas dawns in a faraway land

We wonder what you will learn today

In our land of knowledge we can forget

What school is like for you

Christmas dawns in a faraway land

We wonder what you will face today

In our land of ease we can forget

What life is like for you
