Ave Maria

I Love You (Always)

There's this modern "spirituality"
Where everything is "just for me" ...
Where heaven's door's locked up, you see,
And lets us in, but for a fee ...

It's all about "enlightenment"
It's all 'bout "self-improvement"
It's all about what WE can get ...
And there is something left unsaid:

Where is Jesus?
"Love your neighbour as yourself"
Where is Jesus?
"Love him so, no more no less" ...

Where is Jesus?
"There's no greater love than this ..."
Where is Jesus?
"Than loving your enemies ..."

Nowadays, the selfish gene
We let loose like a machine;
We have never quite enough
And if others suffer? "Tough!

Where's it said I have to care
For my brother? Let him bear
His own fardels, his own weight!"
That's how hate we generate ...

Where is Jesus?
"Love your neighbour as yourself"
Where is Jesus?
"Love him so, no more no less" ...

Where is Jesus?
"There's no greater love than this ..."
Where is Jesus?
"Than loving your enemies ..."

And thus we give our conceit
Record heights for it to hit;
Meditate we do, for more
For ourselves, for evermore ...

We have never quite enough,
And if others suffer? "Tough!"
Is there another way, you know,
For us all to save our souls?

Where is Jesus?
"Love your neighbour as yourself"
Where is Jesus?
"Love him so, no more no less" ...

Where is Jesus?
"There's no greater love than this ..."
Where is Jesus?
"Than loving your enemies ..."

Where is Jesus?

Where is Jesus?

Where Is Jesus?

Good morning, Lord ...
how are You?
Me? I feel
Broken in two.

Around me, now
My brothers fight
For the best part of
A long, long night ...

And I would like to live
And help them, maybe
But I'm just a child,
I'm just a child ...

And I would like to love
And help them, you see,
But I'm just a child,
I'm just a child ...

***

Good day, my Lord ...
and how are You?
The time has passed
So quickly, true ...

My Mum's in shock
And so's my Dad ...
Today we've lost
All that we ever had ...

And I would like to live
And help them, maybe
But I'm just a child,
I'm just a child ...

And I would like to love
And help them, you see,
But I'm just a child,
I'm just a child ...

***

Good evening, Lord
are You still there?
Please save me from
Such deep despair ...

... show me You care ...
... show me You care ...

For I would like to live
And help You, maybe
But I'm just a child,
I'm just a child ...

And I would like to love
And help You, You see,
But I'm just a child,
I'm just a child ...

Bring peace tonight.

Bring Peace Tonight (A Child's Prayer)

I've never seen someone so beautiful
Sit down and talk to me;
I've never seen someone so wonderful
Take time to know and see

What lay beneath my eyes, what lay beneath my smile ...
I never thought I'd see
Someone ever so kind, to come and take some time
To stay here and rest with me.

And when you looked at me, and when my eyes met yours,
I thought I'd never breathe again;
I hope that you are happy, I hope that you found joy,
My only, Milly Anne.

***

For Fate is ever so cruel, the time is out of joint
Forever ... always, ever so ...
The time was never right, for us to blow their mind
And be together ... ever more.

***

I miss you, Milly Anne ...
Our time, though brief, was bright ...
I'm left with but a dream, until we meet again,
I sigh ... and say good night.

Milly Anne

And I saw you from across the room
Quite so, by chance ...
And, so suddenly, my heart went boom
Seeing your glance ...

I looked down ... and so did you
Once our eyes met ...
We both blushed ... and, tout d'un coup
The moment went ...

And I wonder what it would've been like
To hold you into my arms
And I wonder what we could have started that night
Had I asked you ... asked you to dance.

***

Many years have passed e'er since that time
I saw you first
And, in my heart with a burning flame,
I see the ghost

Of a beautiful, stunning lady
Who smiled at me ...
With a photo in my hand, so hazy,
Still you I see ...

***

And I wonder what it would've been like
To hold you into my arms ...

And I wonder what we could have started that night
Had I asked you to dance ...

***

Had I asked you to dance.
