THE MAESTRO

He is the maestro that holds the baton
Giving the note to sing for every creation
A note that knows the way through darkness
that will keep you company in loneliness

A note that sings its way to the heart
A note that will keep you doing your part
A note that will take you to the sky
A note that will make you learn how to fly

To fly with the music of the maestro
To follow His baton wherever you go...

DID YOU TAKE THE FIRST STEP TODAY

Did you take the first step today
Reaching for your dream my child
In congruence with the sun's ray
Mustering the call of the wild

Did you take the first step today
With all your strength to allay fear
Just sing a song along the way
Coming to terms with every unseen tear

YOU ARE ENOUGH FOR ME

You are enough for me
To set this heart free
From the chains of yesteryears
Coming to terms with my tears

You are enough for me
To make me contently happy
To reach out for my star
Aiming for a dream though far

THEY WOULD ANSWER I AM CRAZY

I would hear men asking about me
and they would answer I am crazy
Is it just my wandering imagination
Or just to avoid sinful infatuation

I would hear men asking about me
Then they would give an answer so silly
They would answer I am nuts
And men would believe without buts

LORD TEACH ME TO BELIEVE IN LOVE AGAIN

Lord, teach me to believe in love again
Life was so sweet and beautiful then
When someone would really care for me
All with the sweet blessing of thee

Lord teach me to be in love again
And not to be cynical of all men
Whisper to me who would be true
And to whom my trust will be due

INI MINI MINY MOE

Ini mini miny moe
Who will win my heart
who will be in woe
Who will be torn apart
Or who will I love so
With whom will I have a start
Or who will go

Ini mini miny moe...

JUST THE THOUGHT OF YOU

Just the thought of you makes me smile
Forgetting my woes even for a while
Separated by many years by choice
Heeding the call of my conscience's voice

Other men's attention made me forget
That you have captivated my heart the time we met
Once young and loving you from a distance
When you won't even throw me a glance

Once more my feelings for you ease the hurt
As I hold back the tears that seem to start
A prince by composure and by character
Remembering you once more, a glance at forever
