Someone Believes In You | March 21-April 7, 2008 | Song #381

Standing on the corner waiting for the bus
Sometimes you know just gotta have a little trust
That it will be here soon to take you where you want to go
Other times you gotta just get out and start a walking
Take a little bit of action baby, back up your talking
Someone believes in you, to your vision be true
I believe in you, someone believes in you.

You can shake your fist at heaven you can pound it on the wall
You can pound the pavement, take a leap of faith and risk it all
You may stumble or trip I’m here to catch you if you fall
Before you put your dreams back up upon the closet shelf
You might consider maybe baby asking for a little help
Someone believes in you, to your vision be true
I believe in you, someone believes in you.

Bridge:
Take a look in the mirror and dare to crack a smile
As you go about your day let it linger a while
Just remember that we all go through our trials
Buckle up baby cause sometimes the ride can be wild
I believe in you, someone believes in you

You don’t seem to have a clue how beautiful you are
But everyone of us who knows you, well we see you as a star
You’re shining like a beacon, guiding in the ships at night
Every thing you’ve been through has contributed a bit
Now baby, play it like you mean it and get yourself a hit
Someone believes in you, to your vision be true
I believe in you, someone believes in you.

I'm A Rich Man (To Have You For A Friend)

April 15, 2009 By

Click here to hear the pristine digital acoustic recording "I'm A Rich Man"

I’m A Rich Man 4/8/09 Song # 395

I don’t have a lot of money at the moment in the bank
But I am so abundant that I easily give thanks
I got a soft, warm bed to sleep in and a roof over my head
Got fresh cream for my coffee and butter for my bread
Well the sky is free for breathing and the ground is free to walk
I got a voice for singing and words with which to talk

I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man
I’m a rich man ‘cause I have you for friend.

I’ve got the sun to warm my body and the moon to soothe my eyes
Every day that passes helps to make me realize
Life is full of moments that we sometimes do not notice
The blossom of a dandelion rivals any lotus
There is so much wealth around us, abundance that surrounds us
That sometimes it’s a challenge to maintain our focus

I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man
I’m a rich man ‘cause I have you for friend.

When things don’t go as planned we can shout out our demands
Shake our fist at heaven or Uncle Sam
But good times ebb and flow it’s impossible to know
What you’ll reap before you ever sow
So patience my dear friend we will break if we don’t bend
This is the beginning not the end!

I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man
I’m a rich man ‘cause I have you for friend.

Well the world is full of magic and the world is full of pain
Learn the lessons from the tragic or repeat it all again
We never know who we will meet as we move through our days
All I know is it’s a treat to share the path with you a ways
Well this song may be too simple and it may be too sweet
But this song helped me through a day when I was in defeat

I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man, I’m a rich man
I’m a rich man ‘cause I have you for friend.

Stand Tall

This song goes well with the post I wrote today over at www.ModernJedi.com about "Failure"

Stand Tall |  Fall 2003, Winter 2004, Fall 2004 | Song #340

A rainy day and it’s not yours
You had to face a few slammed doors
So you sit and hang your head (wondering how to earn some bread)
Was it something someone said?
Or is it a picture in your head?
Was it a feeling in your gut
Was it an open door you imagined shut
You decide.

Refrain:
Stand tall. Force a grin. Forget the loss and count the win
Hold fast. Dig down deep. First you sow and then you reap
Look up. Breathe it in. You’ve got the gold of Solomon
Look left, Look right. Brighten up your inner light

When did you decide to lose?
Don’t you know we always choose
To retreat or to go forward
To move away or to move towards
So pick yourself up off the boards
Give yourself an award
You gave it your best shot and now it’s time to dig down deep
And pull out just a little more, pull out just a little more.
You decide.

Refrain:

What just changed? Not the world, the world’s the same
You just rearranged your perception
You shifted your focus and in the process chose to let go of some old pain.
That’s right! Take it, shrink it down, fade it out, push it far away and Let it go!
Rearrange it into something you can learn from.
Now you know. And it just goes to show…
It’s lost its power over you hasn’t it?
And every thought has become a friend
Like the cripple throwing a way his crutch or
The shy kid reaching out his hand
And looking you right in the eye with an open smile and warmly inviting you to dance…It’s the shy kid inviting you to dance...
You decide. You decide.

commentary: I wrote this song at a time when I was really struggling just to get by even though I had invested thousands of dollars and thousands of hours in learning NLP specifically so that I would be able to break through the junk that was holding me back. Little did I know at the time that I was "deep in the process" of learning and practicing tools and techniques that would enable me to "hang in there" and eventually get back to my original "purpose" which was to share my 30 years of original songs with people who would not only appreciate them but who would benefit from the songs, the story as well as the NLP concepts and techniques...

Please share this with your friends and loved ones.

all the best! - Mark
