Sharing A Soul
who can help a girl in trouble
the answer is no one
if there's nobody that cares
when it's her soul she bares
and it's her soul she shares
the president can't help
the senators can't help
not even the govenor
can do a single thing
when the tables are turned
but the lesson learned
is no one wants to know
the truth is elusive
depending on who they
decide to believe
and they all stick together
so who do you think
will be there to
make a wrong thing right
when everybody's busy
living their life
taking care of
their own affairs
but they don't know
sharing a soul
can make it whole

Since Then I've Gladly Come To Know
since then i've
gladly come to know
you cry, as do i,
at sad shows and your
fantasy life is
as rich as mine
i suspect we've
both wondered what
if we were curious
enough to try our
dreams on for size
since then i've
gladly come to know
you will not harm me
nor judge me for
the things that
i have done
and when i say
let us go slowly now
for once you've done
a thing regrettably
you can't undo it
you understand, nod
your head and say
'sure baby, i'll try'

So What
i've been told many times
i'm too sensitive
that may be so but so what
i'd rather be that way than
hard or cold-hearted
or even indifferent
i keep looking for some place
that's having a sale on thick skins
the portable kind
you can pull out of your purse
for when someone is being cruel
can't find one not even in the classifieds
i've always said sensitivity is
a good thing and if you don't agree
so what it doesn't do
any good to tell me any different
maybe if you could be in my skin
say for just one day
you'd be sensitive too

Something Else
what do men want
you say i don't know
but i know what
men want
you ask what then
men want something else
other than what
other than what they
have of course
you admit for some men
that's true
why waste what you have
worrying about
what you don't have
and what will you want
once you've lasso'd me
something else-or what?
Faith Elizabeth Brigham
