Category 4:  Left by a Lover  (2)I Want You To Stay | Your Love Is Slipping Away
I Want You To Stay  
Verse

Someone’s knocking on my door
Nobody’s out there
I’m pacing the floor
No sign of you anywhere


Chorus I
Another lonely night
Without you by my side
And I wonder when
I will see you again


Verse
Someone’s ringing my phone
Nobody’s on there
I’m sleeping alone
No sign of you anywhere

Chorus I
Another lonely night
Without you by my side
And I wonder when
I will see you again

Bridge
Am I insane, am I to blame?
Do I think you care about
The presence of another man?
Shadow is his name
The shadow of a doubt
He makes me mad, he makes me sad
He makes me cry, he makes me sigh
Always playful, he doesn’t care
He follows me anywhere
He’s my shadow
The shadow of a doubt

Verse
Someone’s whispering in my ear
Words I understand
The message is clear
You are leaving me behind

Chorus I
Another lonely night
Without you  by my side
And I wonder when
I will see you again

Chorus II

Oh baby please don’t
Please don’t walk out
There’s nothing between us
But the shadow of a doubt
I want you to stay
We can work it out
We can work it out, baby
Beyond the shadow
The shadow of a doubt
(Repeat Chorus II to end)

Your Love Is Slipping Away
I feel it in the morning
I feel it in the evening
I feel it throughout the day
Baby your love is slipping away 
I look at you and recognize
The spark has vanished from your eyes

I feel it in the morning
I feel it in the evening
I feel it throughout the day
Baby your love is slipping away
I hear your voice and realize
Your words are farewells in disguise

Chorus I
What am I supposed to do?
You’ve got to give me a clue
Tell me to stay, tell me to go
Baby don’t say I just should know
I’m still in love with you

I feel it in the morning
I feel it in the evening
I feel it throughout the day
Baby your love is slipping away 
You’re still the apple of my eye
You’re a bright star in the evening sky

Bridge
I’m so in love with you
What am I supposed to do?
You’ve got to give me a clue

Chorus II
Look at me, honestly   
You don’t want me anymore
No, no, no
Baby, you don’t want me anymore
I feel it, I feel it
I feel it every day
Your love is slipping away
Baby, your love is slipping away
You don’t want me anymore
Look at me, honestly
You don’t want me anymore
Don’t lie to me, baby
You don’t love me anymore

Category 5:  Philosophies About Life and Love  (3)If | Open Your Heart To Love | Superstar
If      
If time stood still today
Would I be in a place I’d want to stay?
Would I be next to someone I love?
Would I feel the peacefulness of a dove?
Would my spirit fall or would it soar?
How would I score,
If time stood still today?

Chorus I
Every day, every day
I get humble and pray
Give me clear vision, dear God
Sweet love to open my heart
Real knowledge to comprehend
True strength to understand
The tapestry I weave

If money grew on trees
Would it buy me strength, happiness and peace?
Would I pursue what I’m meant to be?
Would I barter for a sense to feel free?
Would I let the needy lean on me?
What would I do,
If money grew on trees
    
Chorus I
Every day, every day
I get humble and pray
Give me clear vision, dear God
Sweet love to open my heart
Real knowledge to comprehend
True strength to understand
The tapestry I weave

If life came to an end
Would I care about pain I’d leave to mend?
Would I care who said what, when and where?
Would I count my blessings in silent prayer?
Would I allow myself time to heal?
How would I feel,
If life came to an end
   
Chorus II
Every day, every day
I get humble and pray
Give me clear vision, dear God
Sweet love to open my heart
Real knowledge to comprehend
True strength to understand
The tapestry I weave
Every day of my life
Let me joyfully weave
The tapestry of my life

Open Your Heart To Love
Pardon me, sweetie, you’re talking to me?
What do I hear in the tone of your voice?
You make it sound as if I had no choice
In the matter of who I want to be

I’m not a possession!

Baby I don’t come with a guarantee
To make your life easy and trouble-free

Show me affection!

I’m a mirror reflecting your own belief
A color in the tapestry we weave

See the reflection!

My heartache you might never comprehend
Going ‘round circles expecting an end

Know the connection!

f you want me, give me the time of day
True love is just a small effort away.

Choose the direction!

Chorus I
Let’s find a real connection
To give true love direction
With respect and affection
We’ll be in rare possession
Of the key
The key to everlasting love
 
Chorus II
Open your heart to love
And feel the affection
Open your heart to love 
And see the reflection
Open your heart to love 
And make the connection
Open your heart to love 
And find the direction
Open your heart to love  
And be in possession
Of everlasting love

Superstar
Sometimes
Sometimes I want to break down and cry
Doesn’t matter how hard I try
Nothing
Nothing is going my way
I catch myself falling and say:
“Hang on, hang on, your time will come
Dust off the dirt and carry on
Stand tall, stand tall, and look inside
Your star will rise and shine so bright”

Sometimes
Sometimes I wonder why life’s so cruel
All I do and still look a fool
Nothing
Nothing is healing my hurt
I catch myself tumbling and spurt:
“Hang on, hang on, your time will come
Dust off the dirt and carry on
Stand tall, stand tall, and look inside
Your star will rise and shine so bright”
   
Sometimes
Sometimes I want to bail out and flee
Far away where I can be free
Nothing
Nothing is easing my doubt
I catch myself slipping and shout:
“Hang on, hang on, your time will come
Dust off the dirt and carry on
Stand tall, stand tall, and look inside
Your star will rise and shine so bright”

Chorus
Superstar
Superstar in disguise
Find the door to paradise
Superstar
Superstar in disguise
Lighten up the evening skies
Superstar
You are, you are a superstar

Category 6: Radical Lyrical Poetry  (3) ~ Cry Of The Angels | Insanity Must Stop 1 | Insanity Must Stop 2
Cry Of The Angels   
My heart is bleeding
Over a far strayed son
My thoughts are praying
For all people of the Balkan
And the angels cry
Driven by power
Adding another block
To a spiritual wall
Sustained for centuries
To keep insanity alive
For history books yet to come
And the angels cry
   
Driven by greed
Declaring ethnic cleansing
His self-assigned mission
Void of values, respect or honor
Barbarically slaughtering
God’s beloved creation
And the angels cry
Close to a new millennium
Far from mankind to unite
In convoys and on trains
In buses and by foot
Chased out of treasured homes
Out of their village they flee
And the angels cry

Stripped of all earthly possessions
Stripped of their dignity
On a journey so brutal
They have to go
For who they are
The beautiful people of Kosovo
And the angels cry
My heart is bleeding
Over a far strayed son
My thoughts are praying
For all people of the Balkan
And the angels cry

Insanity Must Stop 1
Twelve years ago
I drove through downtown
Such a nice morning
Had the windows rolled down
KINK radio set the mood
All along the way
Nothing could spoil
This beautiful day
Stopped at a red light
I quickly lost fun
When I looked over
Straight into a toy gun
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The little boy shouted
At four, maybe five
He pictured me faltered

“Killer in the making”
I silently blurt
Yet his mother
Did not say a word
At the turn of the light
She swiftly was gone
Racing toward a fresh target
For her active son

Must be sixteen or seventeen
Little boy who wanted me shot
I often think of him
With such sadness in my heart
   
Twelve years of violence on TV
And guns under the Christmas tree
Hope he was strong enough
To set himself apart

Twelve years of Hollywood heroes
Betraying his delicate soul
Hope he was brave enough
To shun the macho role

Violence in the schools
Violence in the streets
Stop! Take control
Help the children
Feel whole
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Insanity must stop
Copyright © 1998 Pavo
Insanity Must Stop 2
You
With the twisted mind
Chill out and find
A new direction
And you
With the righteous tongue
Swallow that gun
Drop your obsession
And you
In your headstrong way
Comes judgement day
Brace confrontation

You rob you rant and rave
Driven by the limelight you crave
You feed insanity
Stop!
Insanity must stop
    
You
With the haunted soul
Out of control
With your fixation
And you
With the sharpened sword
Your action short
Of true compassion
And you
With the burning flame
Your vicious game
Halts liberation
 
You spike you burn and bomb
Worship your hell without a qualm
You feed insanity
Stop!
Insanity must stop

You
Who are crying wolf
Look at yourself
See your reflection
And you
With the heart of steel
You fail to feel
Your own dysfunction
And you
With the harmful deeds
You're sowing seeds
Of pure destruction

You plot you kill and hide
A coward centuries behind
You feed insanity
Stop!
Insanity must stop
Stop! Stop! Stop!
