Gangsta Prayer        5/ '98

 Heavenly father please hear me tonight.
I need so much guidance to live my life right.
Sometimes the pressure is so hard to bear.
I often wonder if anyone cares.
How can I wake up and face a new day
knowing I have to live my life this crazy way?
Heavenly father forgive all my sins
I want to change but where do I begin?
Give me strength to resist the wild life I desire
Help me stay away from the nightly gunfire.
Please God, bless my family whose eyes silently plead
for me not to go out as they all watch me leave.
God bless my family who cries every night
worrying if I'll be killed in yet another gang fight.
Heavenly father please answer my prayer
Please let me let me know that you're listening up there.
When will it end ? Whats it all for ?
To prove to my 'brothers', , yeah, I'm down, I'm hard core.
Sometimes I even wonder how will I die?
By a bullet wound or a knife in my side.
Heavenly father please hear me tonight
Give me the courage and strength to live my life right.
Please show me the way, lord, show me the light
Help give my heart peace so I don't have to fight.
Thank you for your forgiveness lord, and for still being there.
most of all, thanks for listening to this sinners' prayer
Amen                           --- Kenny Parr, 5/'98



Complete    1/98

My life ain't complete when love is not there
My life is a glare when love is not there
So as I sit, down and depressed
wondering when will my life be at rest
As I ask the lord when will it end,
The day I go to heaven is when it all begins.
So as I pray that my life is OK
As long as my love is never away. +

Love

What is love when love is blind.
What is peace, when love is mine.
Love is there when you are gone
Love is age so far beyond
Love is feeling, love is taste
Love is kept in a secret place.
Or is it love or is it lust ?
Visualize whats between us.
I can speak or I can
just focus on the love thats alive.

Please

Please hold me in your heart forever and never let me go
Please tell me you'll always love me
because this I need to know
Please tell me that you'll always need me
The way I've always needed you
Please keep me in your prayers
And the same I'll do for you.
Please blow a sweet kiss
And send it to me in the wind
Please make it last forever
So that our love will see no end.
Please save me a night of love
for when all is said and done
Please believe me baby when I
say you're still the one.

Tears Me Apart

I know that whatever I lost on the outside
I can keep forever inside
And whatever they do to keep me
Will be the thing that sets me free
I knowthat as long as I can dream,
I can spend time with the ones I love
Some nights I think that a dream
is not as good as a kiss or a hug
from someone you love.
But every kiss and hug from my past
helps me to dream of the things
that are true in my heart.
There is not enough tears to cry
Or words to be said.
that can stop this pain in my heart
But its the pain that keeps me
together, and at the same tiome
Tears me apart.

Telling No Lies

Seeing your face again
feeling your lips against mine.
Knowing what we've had
and keeping it all in mind.
Remembering the fun times
Trying to forget the bad.
It only makes me really sad.
Just wanting us together for good.
And only worry about what we should.
Forget about what people say
And do only what you may
if its to make me cry.
Just give me the reason why.
Only from me can you recieve the love you do
So please just remember
I love you!

CRYING

The days have gone by
Its my turn to cry
I've lost before
And I've lost once more.
It was different this time,
My love is really true
You are my every thought,
my every laugh
You filled my life with joy, its true !
You're gone now.
The memories still here
I only wish you were near
To feel your heart, warm and soft,
Now what do I do?
Since I don't have you, I'm lost !
I can't bare the thought
of missing you everyday
Sure we can be friends
But is it really the same
what am I to do but cry for you
The tears I never used to have
They all pour out for you

DEPRIVED

You are so far, but
your love is so near.
despise my destiny delete
my fears
As I cry  for your long lost
passion,
the light in my heart
will keep our love forever
lasting
Your body is so far, but
your love is so near,
I keep it in the depths
of my heart, far from fear
to detain ourselves, an
to detect the presence of
our love.
To not lose my
composure, and wait for
the one I love.
Your love is still here and
vague memories of us kissing
in the mist of my mind.
Missing what I'm wishing as
our love is still
Deprived

IF I LEAVE HERE TOMORROW

If I leave here tomorrow
would you still feel the same
would you hear me at night
when I whisper your name ?
Would you remember me each day
and know that our love was so true?
Would you remember our night together
when I was holding you?
Would you break down and cry
a river of endless tears?
Would you be able to feel me
if ever I was near?
would you understand my feeling?
could you deal with the pain?
or would you go crazy
and try to take all the blame?
would you know that I still love you
through all the pain and sorrow?
would you still be in love with me
if I leave here tomorrow?
