NO DOUBT

Don't speak

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always

I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe this could be the end
It looks as though you're lettin' go
And if it's real well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaing
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinkin'
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

Our memories
They can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty brightening

As we die
Both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don't speak
I know just what you are saying
So please stop explaing
don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause It hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are ...
You and me
I can see us dying... are we?

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaing
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
I know you good, I know you good,
I know you real good, oh
La la la la la, ha ha ha don't, don't, ouh ouh
Hush hush, darling, hush hush,
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts...

World go round

In the quickness of our haste
It seems we forget how to live
The old blueprint
No longer manifests itself
As the correct way to exist
Wipe the grime off the view hole
And please take a closer look
Environmental bandits
Up to their shenanigans
Crooks disguised...
We’ve got to find another way
To make the world go ‘round
Our individual roles we think
Not so important to the plot
The big picture unseen
Leaving life in between
Destroyed and overwrought
There’s no need to point the finger
We understand who takes the blame
Delinquents caught
Red-handed in the act
Crooks disguised as you and I
We’ve got to find another way
To make the world go ‘round
You see there’s many many many
People in the world
And I’m not sure if I like
What I’ve heard
I’m not sure if I like
What I’m doing myself
I’m not sure if I like how it turns
 
Degradation
Violation
Inexcusable exploitation
It’s the dawning of a new era
People consciously don’t care
How unfair
We’ve got to find another way
To make the world go ‘round

 

 

Different people

Things can be broken down
In this world of ours
You don’t have to be a famous person
Just to make your mark
A mother can be an inspiration
To her little son
Change his thoughts, his mind, his life
Just with her gentle hum
 
So different, yet so the same
Two sisters only have their parents to blame
It’s rare that two can get along
But when they do, they’re inseparable
Such a blessing comes to few
 
The sky is full of clouds and
My world’s full of people
All different kinds, with different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
Not one’s exactly the same
 
He and she, two different people
With two separate lives
Then you put the two together
And get a spectacular surprise
‘Cause one can teach the other one
What she doesn’t know
While still the other fills a place inside
He never knew had room to grow
 
(chorus)
 
Once in a while I sit back
And think about the planet
Most of the time I trip on it
To kick back and think about
How massive it all is
And how many others are on it
I often think about the world
In which I live today, of animals and plants
And nature’s gifts set on display
But the most amazing thing
That I’ve seen in my time
Are all the different people
And all their different minds
And different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
Not one’s exactly the same
So many different people, so many different kinds (2X)
Look at me, I’m a person
Look at me, I’m my own person
So many different people, so many different kinds
For better and for worse, different people
