You are my hero

You are my hero
What you do is so fine
You raise me from low
When I think of your kind

You fight for another day
You want to laugh and play
You are like the forest tree
Flexing in the winds you be

Though pain and suffering is
Not as pleasant as show biz
You manage a smile for me
Your happiness is my key

To open the lock of joy
Like the buzz of a hummingbird
There is nothing really coy
Of your uplifting word

I love to see the mountains
Both the high and the low
Your effort erases sins
Of me wherever I go

It doesn’t matter where you are
Thinking of you makes me go far
I know you try so much
It is courageous as such

You are my hero
You make so many to go
On towards their goals
And enjoying their roles

You are my hero
When I think of you
Wherever I might go
Your struggle can do

You are my hero
Please know I love you
The way is as I show
By the things I try to do
I hope you can feel
The best any moment
Because my love is real
I feel the love you have sent

Do the best you can
That’s what brings good
We are your steady fan
We love you as we should

You are my hero
You bring me up from the low
Wherever your love may go
Your love will really show

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

I am alone in thought

I am alone in thought
Though nothing is naught
I am just streaming the trees
Mistaking humming birds for bees

The world is not without war
Stop war, no war I don’t abhor
But the one who has the key
He’s the fault that would be

Can he not see the flowers
They have much of the powers
Without their free beauty we’d be
Without the oxygen that we breath

Breath in, let it all out
No need to shout
We love such simple need
For that we are easily freed

Let your family do their thing
They have so many gifts to bring
They are too marvelous you know
You just need to let them go

Do we need order in our day
That’s for sure in some kind way
Set up a net to help those that fall
No need to stand nose to the wall

I feel love for those I don’t know
I feel love for those I even know
I’m sure most must love me
Let’s have peace so we can see

The Earth is an amazing home
It is a wondrous place to roam
We are lucky to have such diversity
Just let it be much more free

All we do that’s good is of love
It all comes from way up above
We have so much good we can do
Free up all like me and you

Let us learn a better way
It won’t happen just in a day
We will work, love and play
Just let us have much more say

I hope you love me for sure
I know the love of all is a cure
You put together the good we do
It will help all the ones loved by you

Love each and every one
Try to not ever need a gun
Love each and every one
Let them experience true fun

Love each and every one
Care for them as if they were you
Love each and every one
You will be amazed at the love they do

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

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

Love love
Love love, it’s true

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
hey uh, hey oh

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
