I’VE STOOD STRONG

I’ve stood strong, oh! so long and watched time pass,

To see the sunrise, to see the sunset.

Above me the clouds drift past each day,

Can’t see where they go, this is where i stay.

In the dark of night i stand not alone,

What keeps me company is that which roams.

The wind passes through me on a journey across the sky,

I do get cold but i never die.

Many have visited and stayed where i stand,

Some are now part of this land.

I’ll still be here long after you,

I’ve stood strong, i’m different this is true.

I’VE BEEN THINKING

I thought i’d call to you and talk awhile,

I’m sitting here alone, I’ve been thinking.

What can i do to make this world a better place,

Let go of anger and sometimes terrible thoughts.

Do not waste this time that I’ve been given,

Smile and say hello to a passerby.

Lend a hand to a less fortunate soul,

Put a little trust in man, this I’ve been told.

Do not take a life, be there for a friend,

Teach a child right from wrong.

Love as much as you can, hate is not a gift in hand,

Do not steal or act in violence,

I’ve been thinking god, I just needed you to listen.
