                            POEMS FROM THE HEART

                                ORIGINALS

                       PEOPLE FIGHT AND HATE AND KILL
                       IT GRIPS MY HEART 
                       AND MAKES ME ILL

                       THEY HIT AND STAB
                       AND SHOOT TO KILL
                       ALL GOD'S CREATURE'S
                       FOR SOME GHASTLY THRILL

                       THEIR BLOOD IS COLD
                       THEIR HEART IS CHILL
                       LIFE'S SWEET ESSENCE
                       THEY SEEK TO STILL

                       TELL ME PLEASE OH LORD ABOVE
                       WHY THEIR HEART'S
                       AREN'T FILLED WITH LOVE
                       BY ALL THE WONDER'S THAT I SEE
                       MIRACALS ON MIRACALS
                       FROM SEA TO SEA

                       I'VE SEEN THE GUN'S
                       I'VE SEEN THE WAR 
                       I'VE SEEN ENOUGH
                       I'LL SEE NO MORE

                       SO TAKE YOUR PLANE'S
                       THAT BOMB AND STRAIF
                       AND GIVE MY CHILDREN 
                       A WORLD THAT'S SAFE

                       I WANT IT NOW 
                       AND WILL NOT WAIT
                       FOR A WORLD OF LOVE
                       NOT RACIAL HATE 

                       THE NEWS ABOUNDS 
                       WITH CIVIL STRIFE 
                       OR ONE MANS REASON
                       FOR TAKING ANOTHER MANS LIFE

                       THEIR IS NO REASON 
                       OR JUST CAUSE
                       LIFE IS MORE
                       THAN SOCITY'S LAW'S

                       A BABY IS BORN 
                       CLEAN AND PURE
                       LET US BUILD A WORLD
                       WHERE HE WILL ENDURE
