The meaning of Christmas

World’s Gone Crazy

Just don’t get what’s going on and I feel so blue
Would like to help and change still I don’t know what to do
Was born a long, long time ago when things appeared so true
Now seems the world’s gone crazy and I haven’t, I haven’t got a clue


Just as you cannot find new oceans ‘less you leave the shore
You cannot make life better ‘less you’re willing to explore
It takes courage. Check your fears. Keep your head above the fray
“Cus the world’s gone crazy. You don’t always, don’t always have a say


First find peace within your heart and then things can be alright
Stay strong and endeavor. Just don’t give up on this fight
Search down deep and ask your soul what’s the answer to this plight
“Cus the world’s gone crazy. What seems right’s not always right


And when things get rough and out of hand remember this is true
The power is within you to decide just what to do
Keep love in sight. Treat others right. And banish hatred too
Though the world’s gone crazy. You don’t have to, you don’t have to join it too

CRYSTAL CLEAR

Ditched my fancy car and now I walk No longer care what I drive ‘round the block
Tough times all around. Much misery And I realize there’s so much Iess I need

Searching for a better kind of way Hoping for a sign will come my way
Giving ‘way my things seems pretty strange Maybe now’s the time to make a change


Looking up above I find what’s real It’s not just what I want or how I feel
Fancy things no longer I hold dear Love what’s priceless. That’s so crystal clear


Following trends today just not for me My heart is what I follow faithfully
Getting rich no longer in my dreams Having lots of things ain't what it seems

Lived life well and never went without But cars and jewelry’s not what it’s about
Now it’s time to give to those in need Starting with small acts to plant the seed


Looking up above I find what’s real It’s not just what I want or how I feel
Fancy things no longer I hold dear Love what’s priceless.That’s so crystal clear
Oh yeah. Love is priceless That’s so crystal clear.

Short "N Sweet


High heel’s been replaced by wooly socks. And this girl’s been around so many blocks

Time just seems to travel at great speed. And I found out there’s so much less I need.


Went to the stylist the other day. Said please don’t cut my hair that same old way

It looked like she thought I was deranged. Honey I told her my thinking has changed.


Best for me to keep things short and sweet. Want my life and hair tidy and neat

Funny how it’s all become so clear. Now I think I’ve outgrown my outgrown hair.


Not much in’trested in fancy clothes. Would rather watch my garden flowers grow

I no longer wish to chase that dream. Money and power sure ain't what it seems.


This girl’s been around so many blocks. Have seen it all that nothing ever shocks

Now it’s time to think outside that box. Enjoy what’s left and go on lots of walks.


Savor life. Won’t dwell on what’s not fair. Can’t worry ‘bout others and compare

Funny how it’s all become so clear. Now I think I’ve outgrown my outgrown hair.

Oh yeah I think I’ve outgrown my outgrown hair

Tattered Waves


This old lady’s getting slammed. Anger towards her’s out of hand

Frustration’s building strong of late. And now turning to such hate

Her woven cloth waves torn and frail. Like a kite without a tail

True she’s been around awhile. And perhaps now she is out of style

For some the answer’s very clear. Start from scratch. Shred her everywhere

Some are fine just how she is. Confused by such unhappiness

Old Glory’s been real good to them. No need to change her or condemn

True she’s been around awhile. There ain’t nothing wrong with her profile

Not much left for common ground. ‘Cept the mud being thrown around

Her colors deep blue, red and white. Long waving through dawn’s early light

But here is one thing I can say. It’s all our home, the USA

The right to live, to fight or pray. It’s all our home, the USA

Both sides have their points to make. “Cus everyone has much at stake

Solution’s now to criticize. Shout down the other ‘n vandalize.

Don’t mean to get into this fray. Forgive what might be a cliche

Just simple words I sing today. It’s all our home, the USA. It’s all our home, the USA.

RECKONING


Lying here just wondering where it all went wrong

I can see I’ve hit rock bottom in this grief so long

Only way to soothe my soul is knowing I can’t do this on my own and feeling so alone


Life just seemed to wear me down. And I took it out on you.

But living’s hard when it’s just one. Life is better when there’s two.

Only way to soothe my soul is knowing I can’t do this on my own and feeling so alone


Guess I needed to lose everything to understand. I reckon there’s a reckoning at hand.

Guess I needed to lose everything to understand. I reckon there’s a reckoning at hand.


Can you feel it in your heart just to give it one more try?

I can show you how I’ve changed - baby please don’t say good-bye.


Only way to soothe my soul is knowing I can’t do this on my own and feeling so alone

Only way to soothe my soul is knowing I can’t do this on my own


Take take me back. I’ve been so off track

Take take me back. I’ve been so off track.

Take take me back. I’ve been so off track

Just please take me back

We don’t know if the former president will pose for a mugshot when he shows up for his arraignment in a New York City courtroom on Tuesday, but we do know that his Republican supporters are convinced that everyone in America is now at risk of prosecution for the same crimes. #Colbert #Comedy #Monologue

Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

Stephen does the math on America’s gun violence epidemic and checks in on the growing battle between the former president and Florida’s governor. #Colbert #Comedy #Monologue

The former president drew a puny crowd of supporters outside his arraignment in New York City, while his friend Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene sought to compare him to other historical figures who have been arrested.
