    In math classI like to sit next to the windowAnd look at ManhattanEverydaywhen I sit in this spaceI am the only one finished with the do-nowEverybody else is either talkingOr not doing anythingI think the space I sit in is luckyBecause when the teacher gives a quizI sometimes get a 65 or 70Sometimes when I reach classSomebody's in my seatI don't want to make troubleSo I just go to another seatThis space gives me bad luckI want my seat back very badly

    MY FRIENDYou're my friendYou're my buddyYou're my partner in crimeYou're my cheerleaderYou're my confidantYou're a shoulder when I need

    one to cry onA tissue when I blow my noseYou're a hug when I need oneYou're a soft squeeze of my hand

    letting me know everything's all rightAnd even though sometimes we may fight

    things always work outBecause you're my friend and there's

    no one who can replace you

    THE CLASSROOMAs I walk down the hall

    "Withthe loud clicking of my shoesI enter a roomfull of faces that are new

    My palms get sweatyand my heart races fastI say, "Hello," to the teacherand make it to my seat at lastAs I look around the roomI can do nothing but laughBecause after allmy first day wasn't so bad

    It's first period andit's been a beautiful start of the dayI'm strong -- I'm confidentI can face anything thrown my wayI take out my thingsready to begin whenI feel a soft nudge

    "Excuse me, do you have a pen?"I don't have an extra one

    so I softly say, "No"And as I turn around, the bell rings

    it's time to goBut I'll be back tomorrow

    most definitely without a doubtBecause coming into this class

    is one of the things I need to get out

    SILENT PRAYERNow I lay me down to sleepis the way allmy prayers beginI pray the Lord my soul to keep

    is to help me overcome my sinsIfI should die before I wake

    drowned in my tears of sorrowI pray the Lord my soul to takeyet still I long for tomorrowIf I should see another day

    and time continues onI pray the Lord to guide my ways

    hence comes the tune of a new song

    FALLING OUT OF LOVEFalling out oflove

    what a terrible thing to sayTo give up a lot and

    to still end up this wayFunny how things happen

    not quite how we want them to beYet teaching some sort of lessonto help us seeNever to make mistakes

    that were once made in the pastSo at least one thing we do

    will surely lastNow it hurts when I remember

    all the special times we hadThe good and happy times

    when all we did was laughI don't know what it is

    all I know is things changeI also know now

    RAIN

    ))

    Rain,it's such a simple thingEvery drop, a different stop

    but they all come from the sameGod is a cloud

    and we are the rainThat's why though we are different

    we are one and the sameIn life we always focus

    on issues of black and whiteBut it shouldn't make a difference

    we are all judged the same in God's eyesMaybe we rebel

    because of the struggles we've been throughMaybe we're confused

    and don't know what to doWho knows, back then

    what was going through your mindsMaybe you've changedand see us through different eyesBut who really knows

    how this problem got its startMaybe when Adam and Eve ate that appleit really broke God's heart

    But I am forgivingthere's no reason for me to hateFor I know we're both destined for different fates

    A THING CALLED LOVEThrough thick, thinin sickness and in healthTo never fall in love

    is what I once promised myselfBut that too

    turned out to he a promise I couldn't keepBecause I think I'm in loveand I'm in pretty deepThis guy, you see

    I think of him all the timeNo matter what I do

    he's always on my mindI'm young and I knowyou don't fall in love over nightThat's why I thought

    if I took my time everything would be all righ tBut like they say

    time moves quick when you're having funAnd now it's got me thinkingcould he really be the oneHe says he wants to be with me

    and I want to be with him tooT ell me, is being in love

    supposed to make you act the fool?Is it supposed to make you say thingsyou normally wouldn't say?Make you want to pick flowers

    and wear a goofy smile on your face?Now we're always on the phone

    for hours we talkWe're always going somewherefor a drive or just for a walkSickening, yes, I know

    that's exactly how it soundsBut I've got to tell someone

    of the love I think I've foundA match made in heaven

    sent from aboveHow beautiful this thing

    the old folks call "love!"

    YOUR DISGRACETake two more stepsand you're almost thereYour name is called

    and you're overcome with fear"Whae s he gonna say?

    What's gonna happen next?"Then suddenly you're all alone

    there's no one leftYou're by yourself

    there's no one to turn toNow you're begging for forgiveness

    because that's all you can doBut what you've done

    no one can forgiveThere's absolutely no reasonwhy you should live

    IN JUDGEMENT OF MEBefore you judge me, take my eyessee what I've seenThe places and faces

    I've seen through the yearsBefore you judge me, take my feet

    walk where I've walkedGo to the places where no onebut I dared to go

    Walk down the road I've travelledBefore you judge me, take my hands

    do what I've doneFixwhat I've fixedDry away the tears wept by my loved onesBefore you judge meBecome me, live me, experience meThen and only thencan I be sure of being judged justly
