Array ( [sid] => 3871 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Like Books [time] => 2002-09-15 19:42:27 [hometext] => [bodytext] => These days it seems we read everyone like books
Judging each other, only by external looks
We stumble around, all in a big daze
Following like sheep, the "Jones's" these days

When will we all learn, when will we discover
That within us all, there's more than a cover
We each and every one, we do have inside
A story to tell, that most of us hide

When will we learn, to open our books
And learn what's inside, by each taking a look
I open my heart, for all the world to read
And see just how easy, this can be achieved

And when we do all, finally discover
Then we can go forth, and love one another
This world will then be, a better place
For all of us living, within this, the human race.



Mick Puttock

These days it seems we read everyone like books
Judging each other, only by external looks
We stumble around, all in a big daze
Following like sheep, the "Jones's" these days

When will we all learn, when will we discover

We each and every one, we do have inside
A story to tell, that most of us hide

When will we learn, to open our books
And learn what's inside, by each taking a look

And when we do all, finally discover
