What matters?

All your DV tapes, and your cameras
the bed that you slept in, and others
every single thing you left behind,
tell me who are you competing with this time?
what is it that really matters?

All your hard drives, your emails, and letters
all the things you thought, you bought, or gave us
where are you now and what is the time?
how does one take care, of all the things, you left behind
is it based on what we do over here with our lives?
hows it going over there, where, there is no time.

All the words you wrote
and the ones that you spoke
all the things you ate
or the hearts that you broke,
tell me who are you competing with
in this illusion of time?
everything you had is left behind...
no control, except what you take with your soul
So in the light of recent developments
what does really matter on this earth and in the heavens?

All your songs, all your melodies
all your dreams and all your qualities
the possibilities, all gone sublime
your smiles, your fear, your way of getting on the good side of people you revere
your aims and aspirations
and all the other things that you had
or wanted to be,
now can you see...
me?

all gone
that's what live on
when all is gone,
that is what that lives on

but hang on
all cant be gone
there must be something more that's living on
hang on
there must be something more that lives on?

your soul is living on
your soul is living on

what do you say to Him
when you stand over there?
how do you defend
or over come your fears,
how do we speak when once we're dead?
gone are all the good times you ever had?

but don't worry
you had your share
now its time to stare
pass over there.

enjoy the Sunday
the sunset was made for you
just stare away,
I stare with you.

another day

Now that some time has passed
when everything is telling you that nothing will last
Tell me how do you do, don't you feel like you use to
Isn't time that medicine to heal all your wounds
She wants to know how you feel?

Today
feels like It'll fly away
Hey
come back
another day.
Today
feels like you'll fly away
but Hey
come back
another day.

Its been many months since you left us
I took the train walked a lot flew the planes and rode the bus
Just like how you wanted it to be
Now is there anything else you'd like to show me?

Today
feels like It'll fly away
Hey
come back
another day
Today
feels like you'll fly away
Hey
come back
some other day.

Where are all those people
at the mosque or the church or the temple
Where are all those people
at the mosque or the synagogue or the steeple?

Now that some time has passed
when everything is telling you that nothing will last
Tell me how do you do, don't you feel like you use to
Isn't time that medicine to heal all your wounds
tell me just how you feel?

Today
feels like It'll fly away
Hey
come back
another day.
Today
feels like you'll fly away
but Hey
come back
some other day.

brother

If I could give you
any
words of inspiration
that would be, an
honer for me

If I could bring you
in a comforting situation
that would mean,
a life of eternity

But hey Mandi
Are you missing him too?
The truth is that it can be
true!
But hey there Mandi
you don't have to be blue
God made you stronger,
there's your brother in you.

If I could
swim through
my own desperation
that would mean, the
end of my dream

but If I could
remind you
of his sense of humor
that would be, an
honer for me

And hey Mandi
Are you missing him too?
I tell you that it can be
So true!
But hey there Mandi
you don't have to be blue
God made you tougher,
there's your brother in you.

Hey there Mandi
you'll see it through?
I tell you that it can be
true!
hey there Mandy
he's sending prayers for you
and he told me that
he loves you, too,
And hey Mandi
you don't have to be blue
God made you worthy,
your brothers in you

yes your brothers in you
yes your brothers in you

go whisper to your mother
her son will live forever
and in you, in me, in him, in them
and all those that he met
along the way

in the meantime
you don't have to be blue
your brothers in you.

make the best of what you have

Here comes the morning
look at that sun rise
for some its leaving
for some its coming home

here comes the sunset
lets watch it for a while
look at all these colors
fading to black

you better
make the best of what you have
don't know how much time
you're left with
you better
make the best of what you got
you don't know how long
you're left with?

you're born and you grow
you live and then you die
the rest is the passage
the journey of your life

but should've stopped you there
maybe
but you wouldn't have listened
you're a free soul
but should've called out your name,
you would've turned around

you wont believe what you'll see
when the spirits smile at me
saying welcome to the other side, of these dimensions
while you're alive
what are you waiting for

you better
make the best of what you have
don't know how much time
you're left with
you better
make the best of what you got
you don't know how long
you're left with?

And today
your last day on earth
your first day on earth
does it feel like it ?

you better
make the best of what you got
God knows how magical it'll be
what you'll see
what you'll feel
once you get there.

You better
make the best of what you got
you don't know how much
you're left with
you'll never
know the feeling of love
His Holiness will occur
till you get there.

You better
make the best of what you got
you don't know how long
you're left with
And forever
you'll know the feeling of love
that His Holiness will occur
when you get there.

You better
make the best of what you got
as if its your last day on earth
you don't know how much time you're left with
and forever
I know the feeling of love
that His Holiness Has occurred
on me.

till you get there
when you get there
revel, in your amaryllis

so now you're there
and for now I'm here
revel, in your amaryllis

these are the questions

Who are you?
What are you?
Are you a human?
you're some sort of
some kind of a
divine alien

sent from
above
another gift from God
to us

these are the questions
i wanted to ask you
we were supposed to have a one on one
interview...
about life,
I said we'll just
roll the cameras
and let the conversation flow
the moment was calling
we let it go.

why do you
always
want to help someone
don't you
want to
drive your fancy cars and have fun
you had some
but kept moving
a traveler.

So whats your
cause
your destiny
life is passing through
you and me
be careful of what you do
or say,

these are the questions
i wanted to ask you
we were supposed to have a one on one
interview...
about life,
I said we'll just
roll the cameras
and let the conversation flow
the moment was calling
we let it go.

for a while

He'd never fill his stomach
just enough to not feel dizzy
bananas and some chocolates
eat them and get busy

We got lots of work to do
no time to get lazy
what is it that's inside of you
let it all out and share the light

I
have to put on
my
big big
smile
I've
got to move on
only here
for a while

in between
heaven and hell
How can I
save myself from myself
How can you
ask for no ones help
How can you
save yourself from yourself?

I
have to put on
my
big big
smile
I've
got to move on
only here
for a while,
got to get there

you
are so busy in your life
no time for sacrifices
need to make it somewhere

juggling multiple tasks
trying to get back to all that you can
pushing forward
moving on

in between
heaven and hell
How can I
save myself from myself?
How can you
ask for no ones help
How can you
save yourself from yourself?

in time

Where did you transit to
tell me, where did you go?
I'm here looking out for you
right outside my door.

You said you'll stop by for dinner
be great to see the kids
you wanted to hang out together
make it better than it is

Now you are, wherever you may be
silently, you could be smiling back at me
but how will I ever know
what you're feeling right now
how would you ever know
what I'm feeling right now

So how does Gods kingdom look
does it have any snow?
I know you loved the sunshine too
and where the waters go

You said you'd give me a call
once you're through your swim
I just simply let you go
what more could I've done?
that's another question...

Now you are, wherever you may be
silently, you could be smiling back at me
Now you are, wherever you may be
probably, you could be smiling back at me
And I want to know somehow
what you're feeling right now

I want to know somehow
what you're feeling right now.
wont you like to know somehow
what I'm feeling right now?

But all that I could do
is to keep loving you.
all that we could do
is to keep loving you.

Where did you transit to
tell me, where did you go?
Mandy's looking out for you
right outside her door.
