Array ( [sid] => 93303 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => What can I do for you [time] => 2005-05-04 19:19:13 [hometext] => This is the second of 3 pieces I wrote in the last 9 months entitled Innercity blues [bodytext] => Intro: The firsrt piece for innercity blues "Here we go again" covered the strain of living in the slums. This song talks about overcoming the inner psyche which often stems from depression and selfishness. It is very hard to reach out and help some one from the depth of our pain but that is exactly what this poem speaks about.





So many voices cry out
they don't think a soul's listening
I spend time crying out my self
I forget what's happening
Some one has got to stop and be the one to give an answer
I can't keep saying some one else is gonna end desaster

(Chorus)
(So in the midst of trouble I stop and i say)
what can I
do for you
I'll be a listening ear
what can I
do for you
I'll show you hope is near
what can I
do for you
for to help

I oft forget the times some one has heard my voice and came to help

I only remember the times they left me all by myself

But theres a cry that's much bigger than what I'm going through right now

I don't know what I can do, yet i must try any how

Chorus

The flood of many tears often go unanswered
they often think that no one really cares for them
I can't believe the things they think to do unto themselves
because of me

So when a person reaches out
I have to give some kind of answer
Even if i do not know exactly what i should say
A gentle word can change the heart and free the soul from desaster
I know that if I try enough the bad emotions will soon fade

Chorus

Courageous and thoughtful writing.

I oft forget the times some one has heard my voice and came to help

"I only remember the times they left me all by myself

But theres a cry that's much bigger than what I'm going through right now

I don't know what I can do, yet i must try any how"

Always great to see your work.

I really love the message here. Be the change you wish to see...It is true, sometimes we are so caught up in ourselves we don't recognize someone else is in need. You really conveyed your thoughts well here, Arch.


Excellent job.
