What is it that you do

What is it that you do
I wonder, wonder about you
It might be I need to be
Distracted so I will read

I know you are so fine
You must be more than kind
I know you not very much
I know you have the touch

So, while I wait for more
While I feel love to my core
It might be I need to be
Distracted so I will read

There is so much to do
When I am not with you
Life is full of challenges of mind
It is not always so easy and kind

I enjoy every moment of every day
By living, learning, creating and play
I notice the beauty in all creation
I really hope for a loving nation

I am here for my loved ones
If they want something I will try
To find a way to see good comes
So all of their wishes might fly

What is it that you do
I wonder, wonder about you
It might be I need to be
Distracted so I will read

I know you are so fine
You must be more than kind
I know you not very much
I know you have the touch

So, while I wait for more
While I feel love to my core
It might be I need to be
Distracted so I will read

There is so much to do
When I am not with you
Life is full of challenges of mind
It is not always so easy and kind

I enjoy every moment of every day
By living, learning, creating and play
I notice the beauty in all creation
I really hope for a loving nation

There is so much to do
When I am not with you

What is it that you do
I wonder, wonder about you

So, while I wait for more
While I feel love to my core

It might be I need to be
Distracted so I will read

It might be I need to be
Distracted so I will read

What’s you doing out there

What’s you doing out there
There is no need to be cruel
There is no need to harm
There is a better way

What’s that you are doing
Why are people dying
Why are people going broke
Is this what you do – crucify

What’s you doing out there
You set things on fire
You go golfing that day
Is this what misleaders do

What’s you doing out there
You making things hotter
You harming mother nature
The heavens are fuming

I think one needs to open
Your eyes to see one another
How can you help them
Have a much larger smile

It’s really not too hard to do
You just need to love people too

We live in a wonderful place
It does not matter what race
We have people many a mile
And we want them all to smile

It’s really not too hard to do
You just need to love people too

Things can be changed to improve
No one says everything is in a groove
But you must care about every one
They can change and still have fun

It’s really not too hard to do
You just need to love people too

Maybe you wake up not dead
Maybe you light up your head
Wow, people can really improve
We just find a way to be smooth

There is no strength without love
This comes from way, way above
We are lucky to have complexity
That’s how we can know you from me

It’s really not too hard to do
You just need to love people too

It is time to find a way to care
Not to be a mad angry bear
We have people within the law
They can take the thorn from your claw

Maybe you wake up not dead
Maybe you light up your head
Wow, people can really improve
We just find a way to be smooth

There is no strength without love
This comes from way, way above
We are lucky to have complexity
That’s how we can know you from me

It’s really not too hard to do
You just need to love people too

Love love
Love love, it’s true
hey uh, hey oh

We are moving together you know

We are moving together you know
Even though we are miles away
It may seem like we can’t really go
Together as what will people say

We need to express our love
We need to show we care

There is nothing that we do
Where we can just say forget you
We need to express our love
We need to show we care

I might not like your shallow greed
I really prefer someone creating stuff
They work hard like it’s a need
Doing nothing would be too rough

I would like you no matter how you be
That doesn’t make me want to see
You all the time we’re not together
But, sure you should make good weather

It might seem very hard to do
It really comes from your heart
To make people attracted to you
You just need your love to impart

I’d rather be with you on a good day
It’s the whistle in your work I think
It’s not really what you have to say
You have so much love I need to drink

So, you don’t try to move closer to me
It just happens we are very attracted
It doesn’t matter where we happen to be
We don’t want our love to be redacted

We need to express our love
We need to show we care

We are moving together you know
Even though we are miles away
It may seem like we can’t really go
Together as what will people say

We need to express our love
We need to show we care

There is nothing that we do
Where we can just say forget you
We need to express our love
We need to show we care

We need to work hard at love
We need to find ways to care
I guess what I’m trying to say
I want to show my love every day

We need to express our love
We need to show we care

There is nothing that we do
Where we can just say forget you
We need to express our love
We need to show we care

Maybe you will forget about me
You should know I will always be here
I need to express my love
I need to show you I care

I guess what I’m trying to say
I want to show you my love every day
I need to express my love
I need to show you I care

We are moving together you know
Even though it seems miles away
We need to express our love
We need to show we care

I need to express my love
I need to show you I care
The peace is from a dove
I will that I will love, I dare

Love love
Love love, it’s true
hey uh, hey oh

Keep on the good way

Keep on the good way
Keep on going with grace
Being too angry doesn’t pay
Try to find a lovely pace

It’s okay to be concerned
We need to let others know
Maybe they haven’t learned
Some caring may help them grow

So many, many really care
They find and report, they dare
The wicked don’t like the facts
They think they don’t make tracks

Keep on the good way
Keep on going with grace
Being too angry doesn’t pay
Try to find a lovely pace

Many, many need your love
Many, many want your love
People are under much duress
Hopefully you words will caress

They need their heart lifted up
With big money being so corrupt
It can get confusing at this time
Your loving attention is real prime

Your words and deeds can heal
For many people it will appeal
If we can make life more smooth
It will help the pain be removed

Life is such a magical thing
Nothing to it do we bring
We are here and alive, maybe well
Our loving comfort is ours to tell

Keep on the good way
Keep on going with grace
Being too angry doesn’t pay
Try to find a lovely pace

Your words and deeds can heal
For many people it will appeal
If we can make life more smooth
It will help the pain be removed

Use the wisdom from the past
Make the love of the elders last
People can be amazing soon
Even if for now they swoon

Give them your love in words and pray
That will help them to love and play
Lift off their troubles and worry
Give them love not in a hurry

Many, many need your love
Many, many want your love
People are under much duress
Hopefully you words will caress

Love love
Love love, it’s true

It’s what my father sang to me

hey uh, hey oh
It’s what my father sang to me
hey uh, hey oh
I was out just doing a chore

It was a vision
As I was awake and mowing
Light shined through a prism
As he sang I kept on going

Do I know what he told me
Do I know how to really be
I think he was encouraging me
Don’t let others tell you how to be

Too many people have real issues
That they try and project on you
They see suspiciously when in
Reality you are rightfully doin’

One minute they talk to you nicely
The next they think they found a bug
They pretend to be very kindly
Then they try to wrap you in a rug

I try to see the good in you
I want you to know the good in me
I hope you are one of the few
That knows to value what I be

It doesn’t happen very often
People cannot believe what they see
They think the fruit is rotten
When it is really ripe and healthy

hey uh, hey oh
It’s what my father sang to me
hey uh, hey oh
I was out just doing a chore

It was a vision
As I was awake and mowing
Light shined through a prism
As he sang I kept on going

Do I know what he told me
Do I know how to really be
I think he was encouraging me
Don’t let others tell you how to be

I really love my loved ones
I really am kind to those with me
I feel the goodness and good runs
I know they will stumble, balance is key

My father knew it would be trying
He knew too many are deceived
The misery makes many to be crying
The love they get is not received

Who is strong and going to succeed
Those who love and love in return
The sharing of love is the right deed
Not the enjoyment of seeing others burn

They will be okay before you and me
We will sing and pray for better days
For their many loved ones to see
They should enjoy the warming rays

So, think about your position
Why doubt what is good for all
You think you are Christian
Maybe until you next fall

Accept the true teachings
Accept the love that comes, too
See the flight on good wings
Truly repent and know love that’s true

hey uh, hey oh
It’s what my father sang to me
hey uh, hey oh
I was not for me to ignore

Love love
Love love, it’s true
hey uh, hey oh

Who really cares enough, I ask

Who really cares enough, I ask
We actually know how to care
Why do the greedy wear a mask
They have no intention of being fair

The powers that be will divide
There is no reason to stay clear
They use lies to make morals collide
Why give in to what is false to fear

We must care for all in all things
That is the law and the prophets
This is what the angels sing
And it is what all should get

Who knows that they have power
They can make something better
There is no reason to sit and cower
The law must be fairer that the letter

You can share your care on me
I hope you know that can be
I know I have the same to give
I want you happy as you live

Who really cares enough, I ask
We actually know how to care
I hope it’s more love than task
To help us be a truly happy pair

For our caring extends beyond us
We have so many we pray for
We want, too, their lives fabulous
Our love comes from our core

We are willing to work and pay
As we continue on our merry way
Life is not always simple and good
We always try for good, we should

Who really cares enough, I ask
We actually know how to care
I hope it’s more love than task
To help us get our loving share

Who really cares enough, I ask
To help us get our loving share

You can share your care on me
I hope you know that can be
I know I have the same to give
I want you happy as you live

Who really cares enough, I ask
To help us get our loving share

For our caring extends beyond us
We have so many we pray for
We want, too, their lives fabulous
Our love comes from our core

Who really cares enough, I ask
Who really cares enough at last

Love love
Love love, it’s true

I believe in love after life

I believe in love after life
I believe in you being loved
We live in a world with strife
Sometimes we get shoved

So, we seek people of peace
They can be cautiously protective
Yes, life can have a new lease
Maybe we want one to be reflective

I want to build peace with you
I want to live with the trees
I love the beauty that you do
I enjoy seeing the birds and the bees

I believe in you being loved
I believe in love after life

Love is so many different things
Love should be tender and kind
Life is complex with many findings
Life works should fill the mind

You have brought much joy
To so many with what you share
Your work is like a child with a toy
It helps people to really care

I have so much to share, too
I want it to help people to live
No matter the good they find to do
I really want my love to give

I believe in you being loved
I believe in love after life

I believe in what is true
I love a walk in beauty
I believe in what you do
I love not so much out of duty

How do you know love is true
It must be in everything we do
Maybe it’s not seen when we go
But in the wake it will show

I believe in you being loved
I believe in love after life

Love is so many different things
Love should be tender and kind
Life is complex with many findings
Life works should fill the mind

You have brought much joy
To so many with what you share
Your work is like a child with a toy
It helps people to really care

Yes, love in life brings true joy
Keep working like a child with a toy
Love life with what you share
More people will find they care

I believe in you being loved
I believe in love after life
Either way it’s really the same
We have no need to find blame

Love love
Love love, it’s true
hey uh, hey oh

What kind of love do I give

What kind of love do I give
What kind of love do you want
There are all kinds that are
Appropriate for how we live

Love is something beautiful
How is it that you perceive mine
Maybe it is not nearly enough
Maybe it is too wonderful

The love we have is not weak
Maybe we don’t give enough
Maybe we don’t appreciate it
Maybe we need to go and seek it

There are many situations for love
Caring for a child in a family
Caring for someone more elderly
We have even much from way above

There is the love of a special friend
There is the love of a close relative
Maybe you have a significant other
There is even natural love in the wind

Love is really quite beautiful
If you see something sparkly
Or you see something shiny
You might want to be very careful

To cherish the love that is known
To know that it is very valuable
To know that it can be bright or lessen
Love is not something you can own

Love is a necessary sustenance
For our health and strength
It is as important as food and water
For us to be of great presence

So know that I love you always
It doesn’t matter who you are
You are precious to my life
I try to share it like the sun’s rays

Feel the love that is out there
Whether the source is near or far
Much love is being shared always
I must share my love even here

Know you are loved, really loved
Give your love always for sure
Know you are loved, really loved
Love given is more than a cure

Know you are loved forever
Even when you are really lonely
Love will find a way to help you
Love will be with your cross over

Give your love without worry
You know how to live and protect
The love you give will be good
Love love and walk in beauty

Love love
Love love, it’s true
hey uh, hey oh

I am missing your affection, your touch

I am missing your affection, your touch
I am missing your kindness as much
The here and now is not so very kind
That’s why I have you on my mind

I have been around knowing you well
I would rather experience you than tell
I can imagine how it would be
I would rather not have to see

Having your genuine intimacy
How good that would really be
I have to imagine it for tonight
‘Cause you have taken alight

I was created this way I suppose
Like the words and meaning I write
It comes from somewhere, even prose
Even though I try hard as I might

I just enjoy the closeness of one
That likes more than having fun
Two is better than one can be
Much more enjoyable to me

Of course together can’t always be
At times one has to other things to see
But the longing is what I feel today
Hoping closeness is sooner than you say

Who am I talking about you might wonder
I know I am caught in a spell I am under
I long for what goodness I have known
For the loving tenderness you have shown

I have been so lucky to have found love
The kind that is like it comes from above
But on Earth it is more than true
That I love sharing intimacy with you

Love is more than a feeling we share
Love is needed just as much as air
And like when we must always breath
It’s really better when we don’t leave

Who am I talking about you might wonder
I know I am caught in a spell I am under
I long for what goodness I have known
For the loving tenderness you have shown

Maybe it was not always with me
But with you I would rather be
A longing does not compare
Than when you are really there

I just enjoy the closeness of one
That considers sharing touch fun
Two is better than one can be
Much more enjoyable to you and me

Our minds are made more calm
Because our touching is like a balm
With loving feelings we can share
More love than some will think fair

So together we should really be
I hope you see what I see
We both enjoy the real touch
And not like the separation so much

Hey uh, hey oh
Love love
Hey uh, hey oh
Love love, it’s true

I don’t know if anyone knows of me

I don’t know if anyone knows of me
It feels like darkness is enveloping thee
Can I go on without one such as you
Wherever you hurt you are not a few

It’s okay if I don’t have my way today
I won’t feel right until I know you can play
And not be worried about new harm coming your way
When you can appreciate the sun and every ray

Where is the love so many say they have
I know some really have it and want to laugh
With me and you wherever we may be
Not worried if we will be forced to flee

We must have faith that things will turn around
We must remember how love really can sound
Not where things of hatred hit all over the ground
Where love will return and always can be found

I want to be loved with great affection, too
I know that’s what you want always, too
It is more important than money can know
Those who wake up their love will then show

No, I can’t worry my life is not perfect when you
Have to deal with so much uncertainty and harm
What we want seems so far away and hurts, too
That we can’t just have peace knowing good, not alarm

I pray I can do something for love to find a way
That you and yours will sing, laugh and play
Then your love might find its way to me
That’s when I can experience being truly happy

I will try to be happy anyway
I will try to appreciate any bright ray
I will not just mope around
I will hope that love can be found

I love you no matter where you be
I send my love to you even over the sea
I love you no matter what’s in your past
I hope you will feel my love at last

I hope you will find a way to be sweet
I know it can be hard with money to compete
Allow yourself to love and be loved in return
Allow yourself to believe that people can learn

It’s like the wave of uncertainty will be spent
It hits and rolls and we see where the bubbles went
A beach with a beautiful setting for you and me
That’s where the journey of our love will finally be

We must do our best to keep hope alive
Someday the fake smiles will no longer thrive
The soulless will finally have love and realize
That our happiness is the honey of their hive

I love you the way you would like
Your love will find its way to me
We will sing it strong into the mic
Our love will be there for all to see

I will always love you the way you like
Your love will find its way back to me
We will sing it so strongly into the mic
Our great love will be there for all, you’ll see

Hey uh, hey oh
Love love
Hey uh, hey oh
Love love, it’s true
