Whether it is neglect, intentional violence, a preventable accident, disease, illness etc..............a little piece of me is taken away.<br /><br />I feel shame for what we humans have become in terms of how little value is put on life.........especially the lives of innocent children.<br /><br />While I wrote this I ran the gambit of emotion. Sadness, sympathy, empathy, helplessness, frustraion, anger, resolve..........when you read the lyrics I want you to think of raw intensity, emotion, passion, and definite anger.<br /><br />The intro and exit are sung by a child and the melody is the same as 'Rain rain go away'. The rest of the song (verse and chorus) are sung with extreme intensity. Not shouting or screaming...........just intensity.<br /><br /><strong>Sadness Rains</strong><br /><br />Intro – (child singing)<br /><br />Bad men go away<br />Please don't end my life today<br />I want to grow, I want to play<br />Please don't end my life today<br /><br />Verse<br /><br />Sadness rains it's so insane<br />Can't you see the world has changed<br />So much shit we seem to take<br />Children die, so much at stake<br />All that I can see is red<br />Messing up my weary head<br />I can't take another day<br />Tears of pain must go away<br /><br />Chorus<br /><br />What did we create<br />Just a world of hate<br />I think it is too late<br />Another child is gone<br />Where did we go wrong<br />Where did we go wrong<br /><br />Verse<br /><br />Sadness rains across the land<br />Trying hard to understand<br />What it is I'm fighting for<br />Ten second news that gets ignored<br />All the children want to do<br />Is grow up like me and you<br />With their friends they want to play<br />Like it's just another day<br /><br />Chorus<br /><br />What did we create<br />Just a world of hate<br />I think it is too late<br />Another child is gone<br />Where did we go wrong<br />Where did we go wrong<br /><br />Verse<br /><br />Sadness rains my heart is torn<br />Tears of shame emotions worn<br />Lightning strikes a world in grief<br />None of the children want to leave<br />But the bastards with their guns<br />Kill their innocence for fun<br />Tears of angels fill the sky<br />And I forever wonder why<br /><br />All the children have to die<br /><br />Exit – (child singing)<br /><br />Bad men go away<br />Please don't end my life today<br />I want to grow, I want to play<br />Please don't end my life today<br /><br />© Morris William Green<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5847494958657177760-1897312670833891331?l=morrisgreen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Morris Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02000603609764773527noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847494958657177760.post-85921920136070642572008-08-25T20:53:00.000-07:002008-08-25T20:55:33.775-07:00This tells the story of a man who dies before he gets the chance to bring up his son the way he was hoping to.

In this case I'm focusing on the guy. The fool who has little to no regard for the feelings of his girl and how his words and actions are hurting the relationship. And just when she tells him she's had it.............he retracts and tries to save himself..........but he still doesn't get it................or does he?<br /><br /><strong>Lessons in Perception</strong><br /><br />I didn't see the hurt on your face<br />Not even a trace<br />Or the look in your eyes<br />Asking me to be nice<br />I didn't think that things had become<br />Quite so undone<br />Now I'm paying the price<br />I swear I'll make it right<br /><br />Baby now I realize<br />That you just fantasize<br />About the way that you want me to be<br />Give me lessons in perception<br />And I promise I'll accept them<br />So things will be the way they should be<br />Between you and me<br />Between you and me<br />Between you and me<br /><br />Lessons in perception<br />Are knocking at my door<br />I want to tell you that I love you<br />Does it matter anymore?<br />Lessons in Perception<br /><br />Now what we had is on the shelf<br />No one to blame but myself<br />Seems like everything I've said<br />Is just messing with your head<br />I had no clue what I had done<br />Pushed you away you're on the run<br />I didn't mean to make you cry<br />Please don't say goodbye<br /><br />Baby now I realize<br />That you just fantasize<br />About the way that you want me to be<br />Give me lessons in perception<br />And I promise I'll accept them<br />So things will be the way they should be<br />Between you and me<br />Between you and me<br />Between you and me<br /><br />I'm such an ignorant man<br /><br />I'm sorry<br />I'm sorry<br /><br />(c) Morris William Green<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5847494958657177760-3815441799175928823?l=morrisgreen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Morris Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02000603609764773527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847494958657177760.post-1485509270425693732008-08-22T19:04:00.000-07:002008-08-22T19:09:58.767-07:00This is a song about discontent. Plain and simple. Being stuck in a place you're not sure you want to be but feeling frustrated because you can't get out or haven't figured out HOW to get out.<br /><br />What's weird really is that while I started this song a long time ago, our friend (and resident Rockstar) Marty Casey came along and posted a blog about getting out of the office and pursuing one's dreams in music............<br /><br />But his story begins with him actually living his dream...........and his story has only just begun................<br /><br />If anyone has read his blog.............you may find that it relates to this song a little.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Here's a piece of feedback from a really cool band - Nova</span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">"Take me away from the rest of my life is a pretty cool lyric.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">For me it's powerful and gives me the feeling the singer is in an inescapable trap.

Just let it sit and never really put any lyrics to it.<br /><br />It was my brother Richard who came up with the original melody on keys for this.<br /><br />It has evolved into what you see now..............A ballad about the loss of a loved one..........<br /><br /><br /><strong>Life is Just a Circle</strong><br /><br />Life is just a circle<br />Round and round it goes<br />Trying to forget my sorrow<br />And nobody knows<br />That I'm sitting/waiting for the answer<br />That'll set me free<br />Waiting for my darling angel<br />To come back to me<br /><br />Look around<br />My eyes they only see<br />That my life ain't what it used to be<br />Ups and downs and many may have beens<br />On the other side the grass ain't green<br />God why did this happen to me<br /><br />Life is just a circle<br />Look how fast it goes<br />I can't keep my head from spinning<br />Right out of control<br />And I wake up and I realize that<br />I'm still alone<br />Waiting for my darling angel<br />To come back home<br /><br />Look around<br />My eyes they only see<br />That my life ain't what it used to be<br />Ups and downs and many may have beens<br />On the other side the grass ain't green<br />God why did this happen to me<br /><br />Life is just a circle<br />Want you all to know<br />I can't take another day so<br />I'm letting go<br />Of this hope this sorrow no tomorrow<br />Can't stand this life<br />I've got to see my darling angel<br />And complete this circle of life<br /><br />Look around<br />My eyes they only see<br />That my life ain't what it used to be<br />Ups and downs and many may have beens<br />On the other side the grass ain't green<br />God why did this happen to me<br /><br />Life is just a circle<br />Set me free<br /><br />(c) Morris

you ever seen that Lady with the stunning looks..........the one you think is perfect in everyway and managed to win her over.........??<br /><br />C'mon........we all have........or at least we think we have..........but there is the odd occasion where all is not perfect..........sure she looks great.........you're the envy of all your friends.........but what if beauty is really only skin deep.........and she turns out not quite as expected.........yep..........she's mean......mean.....mean.....and you want out!!<br /><br />If this has happened to you.........perhaps this is what you were thinking at the time................<br /><br />Note: This is not the final version but I figured I'd post what I've done so far..........<br /><br /><strong>Devil's Land<br /></strong><br />She's got hot hands but she's cold-blooded<br />She wants me to be her man<br />Feeling like I'm being hunted<br />Stealing my soul is her master plan<br /><br />Like it or not/here I am<br />Caught in the grasp of your evil hands<br />Got to break free/I think I can<br />Get the hell out of Devil's Land<br />Got to get out of Devil's Land<br /><br />She's got hot hands and I'm addicted<br />Deep into a state of bliss<br />She's got me fooled with smoke and mirrors<br />Gonna seal the deal with her devil kiss<br /><br />Like it or not/here I am<br />Caught in the grasp of your evil hands<br />Got to break free/I think I can<br />Get the hell out of Devil's Land<br />Got to get out of Devil's Land<br /><br />She's got hot hands/Knows how to use them<br />She'll take me to the Promised Land<br />When least expected she'll pull the curtain<br />Now I'm trapped/Need to escape if I can<br /><br />Like it or not/here I am<br />Caught in the grasp of your evil hands<br />Got to break free/I think I can<br />Get the hell out of Devil's Land<br />Got to get out of Devil's Land<br /><br />She's got hot hands, let me the hell out<br />She's not done with me yet<br />I need to find a way to get out<br />Of this trap/I find myself in<br /><br />Get me out of Devil's Land<br />I can't break free from her hands<br />Let me out of Devil's Land<br /><br />(c) Morris William Green<div

you ever strode past someone and they acknowledge you with a friendly nod or a hello or good morning, it makes you feel good doesn't it?<br /><br />But then you walk by the same person the next time and they utterly ignore you..........as if you never existed?<br /><br />What the f*ck is that!??<br /><br />One of my pet peeves is what it is!!<br /><br />So I figured I'd jot down my feelings about it and expand on the feeling a little.<br />Here's some lyrics I've come up with.<br /><br />Feedback is MORE than welcome..........thx!<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Walk Away</strong><br /><br />You walked by me today<br />Didn't give me the time<br />Not like yesterday<br />When your eyes met mine<br />So what could have changed?<br />I just don't know<br />You walked by me today<br />You walked by me today<br />Why<br /><br /><br />What's it take to catch your eye?<br />You're always looking through me<br />I just want to know why,<br />I just want to know why,<br />Every day's a different day<br />Tell me how I'm supposed to play<br />The rules evade me, walk away<br />I think that I'll just walk away<br />Yeah I'm gonna walk away<br /><br /><br />From the look on your face<br />I've done something wrong<br />Don't know what it is<br />So I'll just move on<br />Not wasting my time<br />On you anymore<br />So walk by me today<br />So walk by me today<br />Fine<br /><br /><br />What's it take to catch your eye?<br />You're always looking through me<br />I just want to know why,<br />I just want to know why,<br />Every day's a different day<br />Tell me how I'm supposed to play<br />The rules evade me, walk away<br />I think that I'll just walk…..away<br />Yeah I'm gonna walk away<br /><br /><br />You walked by me today<br />For the very last time<br />I'm not looking your way<br />So don't you look mine<br />I got nothing to say<br />To you anymore<br />I walk bye you today<br />I walk bye you today<br />Goodbye<br /><br /><br />What's it take to catch your eye?<br />You're always looking through me<br />I don't want to know why,<br />I don't want to know why,<br />Every day's a different day<br />Don't tell me how I'm supposed to play<br />The

is a song that was put together by me..........however.......the words come from a few Marty Casey fans. The idea was put forth to give music back to Marty in the form of a Christmas gift.<br /><br />I had previously written a song I called 'Lead Singer' which was in fact inspired by Marty after I heard a conversation about lead singer syndrome. Lead singer syndrome refers to the personality of a lead singer..........the need for attention and approval. Now, I'm sure this does NOT apply to all singers and I firmly believe every human on earth has a touch of lead singer syndrome.<br /><br />A few of the lines in my song ended up being the chorus to 'Storyteller'<br /><br />Also.......the song below is NOT the song that was presented to Marty but a later version I made from the song that WAS presented to him.<br /><br />My brother has recorded this song and I have given it to his band to do what they wish with it.<br /><br />I am pleased with it and it does sound pretty good (if I do say so myself.....lol)<br /><br />Hope you like the words....................<br /><br />STORYTELLER<br /><br />HEY STORYTELLER - A gift from your fans at THE ORG<br />Stay tuned, don't move, there is so much more<br />We hope you like it, cuz it's from the heart<br />Sit back and listen, that's your only part<br /><br />HEY STORYTELLER - Life shared with the world<br />Awaken thoughts that touch our hearts<br />We never knew this could exist<br />Our minds and souls now, share a common goal now<br />Its become a state of constant bliss<br /><br />(Chorus)<br />He is the one to take us there<br />To the place that we long to be<br />Look at us now, amazing somehow<br />That we're lost in his dream<br />We like the song, and we sing along<br />Arms raised high as we scream<br />We need him now, to show us how<br />To find the answers in the Trees<br /><br />HEY STORYTELLER - It's magic, we say<br />Your soul aglow now, your hands they know what your eyes can't see<br />Your knowing look now, when you glance our way<br />We're touched, affected, and we are ever changed<br /><br />HEY STORYTELLER - We want to hear your song<br />So hypnotizing, we surrender all control<br />Lost in the moment, you capture our souls<br />Our dreams take flight now, we reach new heights now<br />Our hopes rise again<br /><br />(Chorus)<br />He is the one to take us there<br />To the place that we long to be<br />Look at us now, amazing somehow<br />That we're lost in his dream<br />We like the song, and we sing along<br />Arms raised high as we scream<br />We need him now, to show us how<br />To find the answers in the Trees<br /><br />You're in the show now - look at you go now<br />Can't take our eyes off of you for a second<br /><br />You're in the show now – look at you go now………..<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5847494958657177760-6872969590716270483?l=morrisgreen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Morris Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02000603609764773527noreply@blogger.com0
