Crazy World
by Karl Anthony
Im tired of drinking dirty water...I know Ive got to breathe the air
Whats the use for conversation...is there somebody who really cares
I think of children who are hungry...their only dream is to survive
I think of people who are homeless...whats their reason to stay alive
Its a crazy world....Its a mixed up world....Its a human world....
But its our world....its our world
Got to give some love to this crazy world. Got to give some love to this crazy, crazy world
We speak of problems of the future...we blame the methods of the past
What resolution have we come to...we want solutions that last
Its a crazy world....Its a mixed up world....Its a human world....
But its our world....its our world
Got to give some love to this crazy world. Got to give some love to this crazy, crazy world
The Wind
by Karl Anthony
Here in my heart, I know of no better place to start
Than the feelings in my heart
How then do I begin, to listen to lessons in the wind
Here in my soul, I know of no other place to go
Than the depths of my soul
Im learning to look within me, and listen to the lessons in the wind
In the silence of the wind, hear the answer
In the cool of the wind, feel the answer
In the stirring of the wind, youll have your answer
in the wind......in the wind
Here in my mind, I know of no better place or time
When Im centered in my mind, theres nothing to loose or win
Im just listened to the lesson in the wind
in the wind......in the wind......in the wind......in the wind
One Prayer
by Karl Anthony
If I had one prayer, Id pray for people who hate
Maybe Im out of my mind ...or deep in my faith
A man grows old ...when his souls in pain
Only love can loosen that chain
But if I offer you grace, will it cause any change
And do I appear weak, if I calm my rage
I think of revenge, but will I become
The thing I despise, when a heart goes numb
Ill say a prayer, hoping it finds ...people who hate
I send it now, to heal the hearts ...of people who hate
If only one song ...could silence hate
And end all the war ...before its too late
If a cold mind ...could begin to feel
Then the fear in our world ...has a chance to heal
Ill say a prayer, knowing it finds ...people who hate
I send it now, to heal the hearts ...of people who hate
......pray for people who hate
All of our thoughts ...can set the stage
For the power of love ...is larger than rage
When we take revenge ...we will become
The hate we despise ...as our soul goes numb
I have One Prayer ...for the world to hear
Its a cry for mercy ...the last of our tears
Let hate dissolve ... let the past reveal
That love has shown us what is real
Prayer: Angels above, quiet the pain ...in people who hate
Im sending One Prayer, to heal the hearts ...in people who hate
One prayer.....Pray!
(May all be loved, may all be blessed, may all feel peace....pray for people who hate)
I’m sending Love, to people who hate
I must be out of my mind ...or deep in my faith
Why ?
by Karl Anthony
Do you believe everything has a reason ....or is life just a matter of chance
When you look at the sky ....do you wonder why ....maybe why is part of the dance
Like why does a baby get cancer ....give me a reason for that
Will they get to grow old ....to have and to hold - Oh God ....you & I must have a chat
If I get to heaven ....Ill stand at the pearly gates
I know, just what Ill do ....although its taboo
The first thing Ill ask is why .... answer me why, why, why .... I have a question ....
Like why do we still have hunger ....when we have the means to feed
So many die ....so answer me why ....Whats the reason for so much need
And why are we acting like strangers ....when all of our needs are the same
I can put on a show ....make you think that I know ....I admit, I play that game
If I get to heaven ....Ill stand at the pearly gates
I know, just what Ill do ....Although its taboo
The first thing Ill ask is why .... answer me why, why, why ....I have a question ...
I wonder why would a war be the answer ....when all that we want is peace
Will our freedom endure ...as we fight to secure ....doesnt killing make the hate increase
Be aware there are those who believe ....that the pain in our world is just fate
Well that just may be so ....really no one could know ....or LIFE is what we create
Am I wrong to be asking these questions ....does it mean that I lack true faith
I have learned to rely, on a simple why ....your wonder is no mistake
When you get to heaven ....Stand at the pearly gates
I imagine what God will do ....is look right at you
And ask you, did you ask .....why ....did you ask the questions? Why...Why...Why
Hold On To Each Other
by Karl Anthony
(In memory of Jamie, www.jamiesjoy.org)
When the heart hurts ... theres no place to go ...where your world ... will seem right
But dont pull back ... as a matter of fact ...get real close ... and hold tight
Im right here ... and your over there ...but I can still ... feel your embrace
Im in your arms ... as you hold each other ...my hand is on your face
So hold on to each other ... when you cant hold on
Share your tears ... quiet your fear ...and hold on to each other
Youre not alone ... your closer to home than you think ...please confide...
in someone who loves you ... in someone you love ...we all have pain inside
So hold on to each other .......
I will call on all the angels... they will help you make it through the night
You will be surrounded by angels ... they will let you know, Ill be all right
My spirit lives ... continues to give ...I can see ... through your eyes
Ill be there ... with whom ever you hold ...Its beyond ...the question why
Im right here ... and youre over there ...but I can still ... feel your embrace
Im in your arms ... as you love each other ... your hand is on my face
I will call on all the angels... to be with you through lonely nights
You will be surrounded by angels ... they will gently help you hold the light, hold the light
Hold on to each other.............Hold on...Hold on....to each other
Let The World Know
by Karl Anthony
We need love .. not madness....Stop the fighting all it brings is sadness
I hear the crying...people dying....children weep and none of us can sleep
Let the world know....we dont want it anymore....we dont want it anymore....
we dont want it anymore....we dont want it anymore....
Let the world know...Let the world know...
Let the world know...Let the world know...
Whats going on ....should be ashamed....We hale the storm..... treat it like foot ball game
Shed the blood, of those we love...I wonder when, I wonder when will have enough
Let the world know....we dont want it anymore...................we dont want it anymore
we dont want it anymore....we dont want it anymore....
When simple things lack love...Its not the fault of up above
Tell them high, tell them low, tell them all and let the world know
I think were better than whats happening...we pay a price, when too many are napping
Wake up... theres still time ...time to think, think in our right mind
Let the world know........ .we dont want it anymore........we dont want it anymore
we dont want it anymore.............................we dont want it anymore
Slow Down
by Karl Anthony
Slow down...to fast...Smooth rhythm...make it last
You look fine...rock steady... no place to go...are you ready
When will enough be enough....youre a diamond in the rough
So slow down....jump off the merry-go-round
Time to reap what you sow ..Stop, smell the rose
No place to go ...get off the road ...somebody please stop the show
Just let today be today... throw your worries in the fire to burn away
Theres only one thing left to say
Slow down...way to fast....like a rainy day...make it last
Enough is enough ..I got enough stuff, should keep me busy for awhile
Gaze at the eyes of a child, to put you in...your place, just look at that face
so dear, so clear, what if the end is near
Slow down and play...look around and dont look away
Theres only one thing left to say
Ha De Hey... Ha De Ho...its a blessed day...now take it slow
Ha De Hey... Ha De Ho.. Im on my way. .....I let it show
Im here to love...Im here to live...Im here to learn baby.. how I can give
So slow down...Slow down...Slow down...
Ha De Hey... Ha De Ho...its a blessed day...
Ha De Hey... Ha De Ho.. Im on my way...

My Memories
by Karl Anthony
The last thing well remember here on earth...is a memory we all have from birth
Our life begins in a sea of bright white...And it ends moving toward the light
I have learned that silence speaks louder than words...and laughters still the sweetest sound Ive heard
Ive had some painful times I still recall...But I wouldnt change a thing, Id have to keep them all
Its what I am..What I believe..Who I become..My Memories
Growing up sometimes...is difficult to do...Its guaranteed, ...to teach you something new
As a boy I was taught to know I can...I couldnt wait till the day when Id be called a man
I think back when going out meant holding hands...and breaking up was hard to understand
When I fell in love the music wouldnt end...and I still hear the chorus now and then
Its what I am..What I believe..Who I become..My Memories
Its what I am..What I believe..Who I become..My Memories
If I knew then, just a hint of what I know now...Id put more time on who, instead of how
You see I lost some friends, in unexpected ways...and I think about that almost everyday
The last thing we will remember here on earth...is a memory we all have from birth
Our life begins in a sea of bright white...and it ends, moving toward the light
The Road
by Karl Anthony
Well I would like to see ... a simple loving mortal man
If you will, Id like to think, to think that maybe so I am
But have I become, what I can see...I am only half the man, the man that I intend to be
Maybe youd like to join me ...on the road
I know the road has started but I dont know where it ends
It can take a turn or two, and if it stops, who knows when
I have a want, to do what I please, as long as all involved are lifted up, thats the key
Maybe youd like to join me ...on the road
Got to get......got to go...got to move on down the road...
Got to get......got to go...got to move on down the road...
Streets paved with gold .....on down the road
Got to get......got to go...got to move on down the road...
Move down the road baby...You got to follow the road
You see the road takes you where you want to be ....The road gives your reason to live
On the road you fullfill your desire & want...You will know when you follow the road
Got to get......got to go...got to move on down the road...
Got to get......got to go...got to move on down the road...
Streets paved with gold .....on down the road
Got to get......got to go...got to move on down the road...
Move down the road baby...You got to follow the road
See the road rolling.....Feel the love flowing
Hear me now, none is lost, if your willing to pay the cost
To find your way, hear what I say...I think you think about it each and every single day
Maybe youd like to join me on the road
Got to get......got to go...got to move on down the road...
20 Years Later
by Karl Anthony
Its twenty years later, and Im an over night success
Youve been there from the start, as friends go you’re the best
Can I ask you one more favor, before I take my bow
Just be here....20 years from now
I guess its been a long run....but not quite long enough
Sure I have my fun....but I admit at times, its tough
If you would ask me is it worth....when will I throw in the towel
Ask me, 20 years from now
Ill give you the front row...20 years later....Ill do my best show by far
And all the way home...we can think of when we dreamed up
Being here......20 years later
So it must be getting late, cause my fingers are getting tired
Oh I could give you more, but I doubt wed get much higher
I have to ask you one more favor, before I let you go
Lets keep doing this, for 20 more years or so
Ill give you the front row...20 years later....Ill do my best show by far
And all the way home...we can think of when we started
Now its 20 years later....has it been 20 years....
Your dreams are still alive...20 years later
20 years .... later
