I've never been to me by Charlene

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

The First Incounter

Lights...Silence...
Breath in... Breath out
Relax, I tould myself as I step on stage.
It was my first time.
Not to be on stage nor to be watched.
It was my first time to act.
I always saw what directors tould the actors.
I read it in books.
I heared it a million times in television.
Who would have though it will be this hard!

I'd have to be the character and not myself.
My heart was pounding.
"I memorize it all ready so what could go wrong?"
I said to myself, pretending to be strong.
This is it. All eyes are on me now.
I have to do it. I have to do all that I can.

"the raven himself is hoarse"
"that croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan"
don't slip! don't slip
wait! next line, next line
"under my battlements. Come you spirits..."
............................................................................
"great Glamis! worthy Cawdor!
greater than both, by the all-hail hereafter
thy letters have transported me beyond this
ignorant present and I feel now the future
in the instant."

Bow.
wait! is this applaud?
I was good?
How?
I still can't believe it myself.
After that I kept saying to myself that
I made it when everything I saw was blank on stage.

It was my first incounter with the stage.
It was my first incounter with acting.
It was my first incounter with myself.

A Song of Forever

Their songs are today's ruins.
Like any other ruins,
they are old and seem to be ignored.
We see them gone, most of us
don't recognize them.
We hear their song from time
to time but we don't know them.
All that we know is that
they're famous, at least they were.
We hear our parent's sing them,
we sometimes do as well.
And like any other ruin, we might
not see it, they are important.

Without ruins how are able to build great buildings.
If the giza pyramids weren't there how do you expect
the other modern buildings came to be.
If Dracula wasn't wrote could Twilight have existed.
All of them are ruins and if they weren't there
, where would have our singers gone?

Without The Beatles do you think
there would be The Jonas Brothers?
Without Madonna could Lady Gaga be famous?
Without Bon Jovi could
there have been an Arnel Pineda
and Jovit Baldivino?
And without Celine Dion could
there have been a Charice?

They are ruins, ruins of the music world.
They might not be known to us but their music will.

Hey! MICKEY!

Mickey Mouse has been a favorite in the cartoon world for so long. He has inspired a lot of us
in recognizing the power of imagination.
He and his gang has been a
child's love and an adult's as well.
His shows like Good Morning Mickey!,
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and
House of Mouse had been an all time favorite.
For so long Mickey has been with us
and as time pass by we have change and so has he.
Evolution took place but there
was something in Walt Disney's
creation that made Mickey immortal in our hearts.
I am not ashamed to say that
until now I watch his shows, hey! who wouldn't?
Mickey's gonna live longer than we'll ever do.
For me, I can't live without watching
his show at least once in a vacation.
Mickey is great.
He might not be true but he'd live.

I'd say...!

They say she is weird.
I'd say she's kind.

They say she is proud.
I'd say she's fine.

They say she is loud;
Like I would mind.

They say she is great.
I'd say " that can't be deny".

But if she is of what they say
I'll still have her for she is my sister
And that is something that will forever stay.

My Sister's Keeper

Just today I found out that I am my sister's keeper and so is everyone with a sister.

I was wanted, planned, cared for but she wasn't.They didn't want her, no one ever did.
She was an accident while I was a coincedence.
Sometimes I think I was here to be her.
Not as myself but as to be the person she would have been.

It wasn't her fault, not of it was. She came and they couln't take her back.
She was willing to stay but they wouldn't let her.
She was scared but what can she do.

On the day she was born, she finally became special.
But it was to late. She gave up.
On the day she came she turned around and went away.

They never told me of her. I had to ask.
Maybe they thought I wouldn't care for her but I do, so much.
Sometimes I ask her to take back her place but in the end
I realize that she can't and I have to stay.

I am my sister's keeper.
She left me her job and I have to do it because it
is the only thing that I can do.
She may not be here but I know she is in a better place
and from where she is fromshe'll always care
and she'll guide me through everything.

If we hold on together by Diana Ross

Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

A cry to my angel

O dear, Thy heart so pure
And mind so innocent.
Moon on daylight;
Far early than twilight.

Upon thee's arrival,
Th' heaven's portal opens
But love ones hearts
In pieces, Damage.

Church bells rang
In sorrow, cries
Thou womb bearer weeps
Oh Cieobelle, Thou carriage awaits

Thou visit shorter than that of Zephyr's.
Gone too soon;
But if time shall permit,
Memory of thee shall forever remain.
