LOVE'S IDEAL So many relationships are sailing into the sea of delusion Only to end up sinking from so much confusion We all have this inner need to find the perfect mate Spinning on a merry-go-round of endless dates But in my heart love burns eternal... Only for you my dear, and one day I'll hold you near Love can be a four letter word If that's what you want to make it You can pretend to have fun If you want to fake it But in my heart love burns eternal... Only for you my dear, and one day I'll hold you near Love's Ideal is hard to fulfill As we try to live up to it's expectations Love's Ideal only wants to be real Don't fight what you feel when it comes to... Loves' Ideal   THE LOVE I THOUGHT I KNEW You know I always think about you And all those things that we us to do But now your telling me something new I always thought our love would be there Remember the moments that we shared You really seemed like someone who cared The Love I Thought I Knew Has gone and left me today The Love I Thought I Knew Has thrown our love away And all I do is cry for The Love I Thought I Knew   HAPPY TO BE Happy To Be without you...I'm Happy To Be Happy To Be without you girl.... You were such a nightmare to my reality I can't believe I ever went with you Always finding problems that you'd blame on me But you're the one who doesn't have a clue I don't care what you think of me All I know is that I'm finally free   CHANGE OF HEART Running from the pain That tries to follow us each day Wanting it all to be better for tomorrow When we're coming from the heart There's no need to justify It all must relate like pieces in a puzzle Why add to the fear that keeps building every year? Everyone has their crosses to bear...with a Change of Heart We'll find our way back home...with a Change of Heart We'll never have to be alone.....   HERE FOR YOU You never knew exactly what you wanted You're crying every night but no one hears you Where did all the time go you wonder to yourself? Your make believe dreams filled with holes Drifting down a river that's unknown When will you admit to yourself You can't make it alone? Let go of those mistakes that keep you sad Or you'll never get beyond The image that you're bad They never even tried to get to know you They left you on some doorstep Than they ran away That wasn't very nice but what can you do? I'll be Here For You...no matter what you do I'll be Here For You with a love that's true   OUR LOVE I've climbed to the top of the world And I've been down in the deepest caves I've wrestled hungry alligators And I've surfed the biggest waves Jumped out of a burning airplane And caught a tiger by the tail Walked across a hundred miles of desert Then I rode a giant whale Fate, chance and luck They like to take you for a ride Your destiny is what you must decide Then I came upon this beautiful mermaid And she took me to the lost city of gold She said if I would only stay with her I'd never have to grow old But out of all these things that I've done Nothing can compare to Our Love I'm sure the angels are Smiling from above because Nothing can compare to Our Love   SHE IS THE GIRL I would love to take you far away To a place where all they do is play Just like the garden of so long ago We'd have so much fun being there I know But we still have so much to work through And there's nothing we can do Until the time is right Hold on to your dream of a better world Where there will be no need to fight I reach out and there you hold my hand And I feel you truly understand How special it has been ever since we met It may be great right now But it's gonna get better yet She is the Girl who makes me happy She is the Girl who I want to marry She is the Girl, She is the Girl She is the Girl who makes me feel love She is the Girl sent from heaven above She is the Girl, She is the Girl   SOMEDAY Searching for a meaning in life I found that doesn't mean much at all Unless you find someone who you can share it with I know that you?ve always been there But the time was never right But now it seems to be waiting for us Don't you know that it's never too late To fall in love with that special someone Don't you know that I mean this when I say I'll be loving you Someday

	NO MORE SUFFERING What are we trying to do By hurting each other? When we're so much alike We're all sisters and brothers Let's walk away from all this Fighting, it's so insane We're all responsible if we're Looking for someone to blame Maybe it's just a dream to Think that we can do better Creating a world of a Love and peace that matters The real party won't begin Until there's No More Suffering We can all be friends If we try from the start Feel the love that Shines in every heart   BELIEVE IN LOVE They say whatever Yet, I will Believe in Love I still have feelings   TOLD YOU All things full of space Scientists have discovered Shamans say...Told You   HOMELESS SON You can't just cut me You must know me through someone Mankind's Homeless Son   SHORES OF SPLENDOR Shores of Splendor So sweetly moving... So gently revealing Your smooth effervesce Illuminates my being Crystal reflections... Shimmering...dancing Floats away my spirit into sky With ecstasy so foreboding I grasp to define.... These moments....together   WALKS IN THE RAIN She Walks in the Rain... Is she insane? She Walks in the Rain... Can?t you feel her pain? She Walks in the Rain... So slowly and deliberately She Walks in the Rain... Displaying her only liberty She Walks in the Rain... Being so very old She Walks in the Rain... She could catch Her death of cold And surely I would Help her if I could But she is not alone you see For I too, like her, am one who Walks in the Rain...   RUNAWAY TECHNOLOGY! A throw away society... Stable diet processed debris Food wrapped in red tape Awaits the starving child In the name of progress... The end justifies the means Eccentric social Codes in flux.... Runaway Technology! I've got no qualms, about the Things that enhance us But it's getting harder to Understand it all When they overload the System, without any rewards There won't be any excuses We haven't heard before   NOTHING BORING How boring it is doing nothing... When doing nothing is boring But, is nothing so boring... When doing Nothing Boring?   BROKEN HEARTED NUN I know you want me So bad and It would be so awfully good If we could be together... Like lovers should But our love's taboo has Become too dangerous to risk If only we could Hold each other just once With a lasting kiss They should be the One's so terribly sorry For look now at What they're done They have made you runaway To become the Broken Hearted Nun   SOMEWHERE IN THE DISTANCE Somewhere in the Distance... I hear a siren wailing... A dog barking... Some crickets chirping Somewhere in the Distance... Someone is dying I can only hope it's Not someone I know Or someone I should have Somewhere in the Distance... I hear a whistle Blowing on a train That has left me behind Somewhere in the Distance... I can only hope that people Are having more fun Than I am having right now   BESIDES MYSELF I am Besides Myself Trying to get a hold of myself Wanting to get into myself to Make myself at home With myself... Though I feel sometimes Too self-conscious to be Totally myself, when the... Pressure to be other Than myself, is so... At odds with itself   LAST FOREVER There's a love that most People can only talk about It's a love of...no limits When love like this is found We give our commitment Without giving up freedom This in return makes Everything so beautiful The chasing of values is Brought into perspective for you When you can share with that Special someone... The moments that Last Forever   ALWAYS HOPE Happy no matter The alternatives...so sad May we Always Hope     Richard Alan Krieger's New Art & Writing Website http://home.earthlink.net/~zajjjj/richardalankrieger     Crane's Music @ http://www.thepauper.com/cafe/showpauper/musicians/a_h.asp#C http://www.purevolume.com/craneminutemen
