amgreene (Andrew Marc Greene):
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers,
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin', while my thoughts were busy hatchin',
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individdle,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin', I could be another Lincoln,
If I only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why the ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nuffin', my head all full of stuffin',
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry; life would be a dingle-derry,
If I only had a brain.

jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
Oh, if they knew what is really going through her mind
Oh, how she dazzles triumphant, there's no competition...
But when not dreaming / She thinks her world will fall apart
There's no one there to love her / And quench this burning passion
We, ordinary people / Sometimes frightened a little
Hiding our secret hopes / Want an ordinary love / Need someone to hold
If they only knew / What's going through her mind
If they only knew / How lonely is her life
If only we could see / Through other people's eyes
We could understand each other's hearts
Oh, if they only knew what is really going through his mind
He is so helpless, his head in the sand, day-and-nightmares
But the crowd around him believes he has the power
To change the world, stop wars and hunger / Yet for his dreams no one cares
We, ordinary people / Sometimes frightened a little
Hiding our secret hopes / Want an ordinary love / Need someone to hold

mhbraun (Matthew H Braun):
Like the moment when the Brakes Lock,
And you slide toward the the big truck,
You stretch the fleating moments with your fear.
And you never hear their voices,
And you never see their faces,
You have no recourse to the law, anymore.
As the windshield melts,
And my tears evaporate,
Leaving only charcoal to defend,
Finally I understand the feelings of the few.
Ashes and diamonds,
Foes and friends,
We were all equal in the end.

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
Don't pull too hard, like a kite in the wind
You'll break the string, when I reel you in
Don't take off flying all on your own
When you finally come knocking, there'll be nobody home
Nobody Home
