I WISH THEY WOULDN'T Talk gentle, I'm tired of the pain, Stop being angry, I'm tired of war, Stop hating the innocent, They are unknown, Stop breaking souls, When they're meant to live, Please, I don't want to take this. I wish they would choose to listen, I'd tell them this again; I wish they wouldn't assume, They're telling themselves lies, I wish they wouldn't fight, They are wasting their time, I wish they wouldn't judge, They could just listen to their soul, I wish they would stop hurting others, Their words can cut deep, more than they know, I wish they would have listened, That we don't want to take this. ©2004 Molly Nicole THROUGH YOU Through you I learned to see the beauty in things, -The qualities that I hadn't realized before, Like the qualities that children and animals have, -To not judge and to love purely, It felt as though my world had brightened, As I started seeing everything as the light from within, -The beauty in their soul. I was inspired by you, just from you speaking a few simple words, Those I don't know why people don't ever say, And so I saw the value in expression. You told people of love openly, And so I was inspired to try to love everyone, And I see now that you must have learned from God, Which I should have done more so, before. Before I didn't realize it, but now I know that writing and songs are often divine, And because I know this now, among other things, I am thinking you are the chosen one, And now I am the chosen one, 'Cause I have so much to share. ©2004 Molly Nicole Dedicated to Michael Jackson.
