Something Somewhere

I see something in my head that I can't get right;

I feel something in my heart that I can not even fight;

I hear something in my brain that I don't think to be tight;

I sense something in my mind that I don't believe it's bright;

I catch something in my spirit that I can't approach by sight;

I discern something in my blood that I can't seem to dight;

I plot something on my body that I can't darn its twilight;

I find something on my soul that I can't blow by flight;

There is something somewhere giving me insight.

La Fortune (French version)

Quel malheur d'apprendre que la seule personne qui te retient c'est toi-meme;

Quel bonheur de savoir que la seule personne qui peut te relever c'est toi-meme.

The Fortune

It's unfortunate to learn that the only person holding yourself down is you;

It's fortunate to understand that the only person who could lift you up is you.

Spirit It Is

Within the brain walls resides the mind while in the neighborhood the soul pounds in every pulse of the heart;

The spirit channels through the whole body diffusing from up there to down here linking mind and soul;

This power supply feeds electrical current to the bulb that lights up and shine the room;

It is constantly torn apart between them two which continuously battle to gain sole control;

The top is the crop growing field and the bottom is the reservoir, albeit the in-between is the transporter;

A phone call is made between two receivers and these really close siblings converse for a long time;

When lost, the above or the beneath, your network gets derailed and deranged;

The loss of one causes overproduction when for the other it is overdraft;

The prior rains till flood, the latter dries till drought;

The stated pair has only been established to become mortal though spirit always was eternal;

Spirit got into us via the mind opening to rest seated on the soul;

In origin of times, the flesh was born with mind and soul pretty empty;

As it grows, they mature to get full at death;

Do you know the downside? I bet you don't or forgot;

Well, only the soul is to be harvested;

It gets out with the spirit's help that becomes the tail and the propeller;

Mind that was, soul to be, spirit it is.

Le Choix (French Version of "The Choice")

C'est ton choix de m'aimer, pas le mien;

C'est mon choix de te tromper, pas le tien.

The Choice

It's your choice to love me, not mine;

It's my choice to hurt you, not yours.
