You are doing so well

You are doing so well
This is how I can tell
I see you sleeping tonight
Even though you are full of fright

You are doing so well
This is how I can tell
You are busy as can be
Helping people to be free

You are doing so well
This is how I can tell
You take care of others
They are your sisters and brothers

You are doing so well
This is how I can tell
You constantly do your best
You know everything is a test

The ones with the most are letting you down
Despite them you will find a way to smile, not frown

Let’s do what it takes to win
This is not a game of greed
We don’t need to take it on the chin
We have too many mouths to feed

Let’s do what it takes to win
It’s pretty easy to always care
When you know all are your kin
It’s really quite easy to share

Let’s do what it takes to win
Look at all the ways to compete
Don’t help the sinners to sin
Let’s implement what keeps us on our feet

Let’s do what it takes to win
Find more labors of love
It’s amazing what we have to win
Sure doing good is way, way from above

The ones with the most are really letting you down
Despite them all you will find a way to smile, not frown

I see you suffering for no reason
The messed up greedy are always teasing
Trust that by doing your best today
Will eventually make the evil go away

You are doing so well
This is how I can tell
I see you sleeping tonight
Even though you are full of fright

Let’s do what it takes to win
This is not a game of greed
We don’t need to take it on the chin
We have too many mouths to feed

Let’s do what it takes to win
Look at all the ways to compete
Don’t help the sinners to sin
Let’s implement what keeps us on our feet

You are doing so well
This is how I can tell

Love, love
It is true
hey uh, hey oh

I met you you must know

I met you you must know
Where did we really go
I think about you often
Maybe hoping to be again

You are the girl of my dreams
You have everything it seems
Sure, you have the appearance
But it’s really about true romance

I mean I want to kiss you
I want your full embrace
But it’s more about what you do
It’s everything that makes your case

What you express to me
Sure you have the body for sure
That’s not what I really see
The attraction of all endures

I see you care about me
I hope you see my desire
You look at me with such kindness
You must know I won’t tire

I really want to share with you
I hope you share with me, too
Then we might find our love
My desire is giving me a shove

Everything you do is cool
I know I might look the fool
It’s because I’m over my head
From everything you have said

You care about so much
I really want your touch
You know what makes me cry
All I want to do is try, try, try

You care about so much
I really want your touch
You look so sweet, oh my
You make me less than shy

I met you you must know
Where did we really go
I think about you often
Maybe hoping to be again

You are the girl of my dreams
You have everything it seems
Sure, you have the appearance
But it’s really about true romance

I mean I want to kiss you
I want your full embrace
But it’s more about what you do
It’s everything that makes your case

What you express to me
Sure you have the body for sure
That’s not exactly what I see
The attraction of all endures

For now I see you in my dreams
I hear you care so much it seems
I know you have desire for me
The timing for us is the key

You are the girl of my dreams
It’s everything about you it seems
I have so much desire for you
Tell me how to make it come true

I mean I want to kiss you
I want your full embrace

I have so much desire for you
Tell me how to make it come true

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

What is it you are doing? (A lecture)

What is it you are doing?
Why are people crying out?
Why are you so severe?
Kindness and compassion is what it’s about

What is it you are doing?
People are being pushed around
By you and yours from law?
Your meanness is not even sound

What is it you are doing?
You make false accusations against all
Even real ones should be tempered
People the world over you make fall

What is it you are doing?
Why are so many newly harmed?
You are wild and spiteful
The leaders of many are very alarmed

What is it you are doing?
You have no intent of loving each
You proclaim that they all must
You show not compassion in your reach

What is it you are doing?
You are raking in the dough
Not for the benefit of everyone
Just so your big ego will grow?

What is it you are doing?
Going away from what is good
You sound full of yourself
You’d make everything wrong if you could

What is it you are doing?
You don’t see all as right
There must be some negotiating
You don’t smite with your might

What is it you are doing?
You are falling further from grace
Our planet is being torn apart
You are so afraid to lose face

What is it you are doing?
It is time to do what is good
Things can be made much better
Making adjustments you should

What is it you are doing?
Yes, things need to be in balance
A harsh reaction does more harm than good
People need a second chance?

What is it you are doing?
You think the rich are in need?
Those that need need good help
You need to set aside that big greed

What is it you are doing?
Find a way to find true peace
We all must work together
All these big and little wars must cease

What is it you are doing?
Finding a path to care for all
You don’t seem to know it
It’s time to walk instead of crawl

We are expected to do our best
Each of us has gifts to share
Find a way to love one another
Just find a way to really care

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

Just do your best

Just do your best
At whatever you do
Try to make things better
For all those you can

Life is a long journey
There are perils along the way
Really try to make a difference
Helping all those you can

We have the influence we have
It is often less than we need
Convince others to see your way
And help all those you can

We often must focus
We concentrate on our plan
Hoping others will collaborate
The results help all those you can

When we take a break
Whether a minute or a decade
We still do what is right
Which helps all that we can

We must have true patience
We should be as gentle as possible
There are many ways to do things
Which helps all that we can

Just do your best
At whatever you do
Try to make things better
For all those you can

Life is a long journey
There are perils along the way
Really try to make a difference
Helping all those you can

Just do your best
At whatever you do
Try to make things better
For all those you can

Life is a long journey
There are perils along the way
Really try to make a difference
Helping all those you can

Bringing peace on to one another
Avoiding harming as we go
Getting things done in time
Helping all those you can

Just do your best
At whatever you do
Try to make things better
For all those you can

Life is a long journey
There are perils along the way
Really try to make a difference
Helping all those you can

With a touch of forgiveness
With a touch of compassion
With a touch of true caring
With a touch of just loving

Love love
Love love, it’s true

I hope you aren’t crying

People are loved

People as much as they get
People should love

I am being helpful
I may seem too slow
I may need a boost
I try to make love so

People can be helpful
People can really care
People should be careful
People should so dare

Our world is so precious
Our people are fragile
Our love is so needed
Our love is what heals

Help me be productive

Help one another
Help is the best to do

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

There is so much to do

While I feel love to my core

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
