I'll Rise  (Schella)

You may shoot me down with your words,  

You may push me to fall,

but just like hope springing high,

just like the moon in the sky--

I'll rise.

Passing (Lovely)

Passing through slavery,

living like animals.

At times I can feel my bones crush 

under the life I am living,

searching for help,

deliverance from crying,

passing can be so hard.

Loss (Shawanie)

I dream many times of that time when

everything was beautiful.

I think of it and wish I could live it again,

and I know it is possible for it to resurrect itself.

The lucky ones fell in what we call love

or pleasure, I may say.

For I know that for many decades, this

very action has been the result of lust

and hell on earth.

Is it? 

Yes. For I've witnessed the many 

faces of this. Its many aspects, in 

declaring war and peace, at times

equally.

For it has a lot to offer. But it takes 

away too much. It takes away everything.

Silent Night (Edelyne)

Silent night, holy night

all is calm, all is bright

through the night

silent stars, angel sight

through the air, sparkling sky

Silent breeze, holy wind

spread the song, peaceful sound

silent night, holy night

brings pure light,

showing love

that stays above.

Laughter (Stassie)

You say that I'm crazy

to try to create history.

You don't hold me,

that doesn't shake me.

So you can try hard to make me fall

with your words like stones--

That won't break me.

I'll grow in this dark room

and glow,

and make it through.

No need for your laughter,

This is just the beginning

of my dream.
