Song: If you go to the Caribbean where seashells around your neck, for me

Went for a walk today
Wind blew through my skirt
I felt it in my legs
My wavy hair blew a'munst the sky

I saw people walking by
Some with dogs and ipods
Some were runnin' 
Runnin' to their dreams 

Walkin's all I want to do
To love where I live
Lovin' the things around me
Nature doesn't come from people
That's what people are confused about
People come from nature
Nature is what people are

People tear nature down
The world down
Cities, smoke, pollution
Fights, murders, wars

Went for a walk
Took my shoes off before I went
Felt my feet deep rooted in the ground
Then I knew I was apart of God's country
Walkin's all I want to do
Embellish myself in nature
To know how lucky I am

I dream of the Caribbean
A place where everything is relaxed
Where people are happy for what they have
A place where people can dance in the sand
They ride the currents in the water
Pick stones from the deep insides
Know that they're apart of god's country
Where animals can live with the people
Where people can live with the animals

Walk among the sand.
Climb those mountains
Swim with the turtles
Pick up seashells 
Express through art, dance, and music

If you go to the Caribbean wear seashells around your neck, for me

Song: My first friend

You were the first person I knew who was my height
The first person I knew whose hands and feet were the size of mine
You were my first friend

We raced down the walkway while were were flower girls
We bragged about how in our hair were pearls
I put my finger in a candle at your sister's baptism
Sometimes we laughed so hard I would have a spasm

Laughter was our answer
Never shall those memories dissolve
We did fashion shows at home
We even danced in the movie theater

Our family reunions
Our nicknames for our relatives
Sleep overs at our aunt's house
The songs we sang over and over
I still know the words

Summers of adventures
Trails we set ablaze
The journeys we took
The mountains we climbed only grew higher
The higher the mountains the more crucial they were

Penury stole your treasured crown
But it didn't steal your laughter
Fortitude is your glory
Grace is your story
Hero is your tale
I hope someday I can follow your trail

Our pictures bring me gifts
I remember again
Who I used to be
The days when we danced in the rain
Now I see
Who I will be for eternity

You were the first person I knew who was my height
The first person I knew whose hands and feet were the size of mine
You were my first friend
If I could tell you only one thing it would be that you are my best friend

Where the world would be without music

Music feeds the soul of human life
The words are touching


Singing is beautiful
It is a way of expression
Expression that makes people cry
Expression that makes people get up and dance
Expression that fills the mind and makes one sing along
Expression that inspires people
Expression that comforts people
Expression that is theraputic
Expression that makes human life the way that it is


There would be no happiness without music
If there was no music society would not change
People would not be able to carry on without music
Without music there would be no life in people


Music comes in different forms
To me it is important for a human to accept and embrace all types of music
Whether it is classical, rock, rap, country, pop, or even scremo
One must realize that every form of music comes from a person
A person looking to create something beautiful, to express, create something fun, even change the world
Perhaps one would not want to listen to a certain song or genre, but one must appreciate it
Even if one cannot relate or agree to the lyrics, one must accept that fact that every human has feelings and words that they want use in their creation of art.

Song: Beauty of your soul and forever your spirit

Beauty of your soul, forever your spirit
Forever your spirit here and where you are


Don't forget us
Watch over us
Fill us with your spirit and love
Teach us how to live our lives
Embrace us when we see you again


I wish I could talk to you one more time
See your face
Tell you that I love you very much
Go out to lunch, I would pay
Tell you how we miss you
Tell you how I will think of you for the rest of my life
Tell you how your girls are my best girlfriends
Tell you how wonderful they are
Tell you how they have changed my life
Tell you of how I have grown and changed, so have they



Don't forget us
Watch over us
Fill us with your spirit and love
Teach us how to live our lives
Embrace us when we see you again


Your spirit is the one that blesses me with the belief of heaven
I don't follow a religion, but you are the one that tells me where you are
I feel your presence when I am with my family
Because of you somehow I know that every person is good deep inside, that the world is beautiful no matter what happens, and that there is an afterlife where our family will live forever



Don't forget us
Watch over us
Fill us with your spirit and love
Teach us how to live our lives
Embrace us when we see you again


When I hear music I think of you
You loved singing
Your gift of singing has come into the heart of your children
Your talent is shining in them



Don't forget us
Watch over us
Fill us with your spirit and love
Teach us how to live our lives
Embrace us when we see you again


When I see pictures of you I cry and remember you
I see the face that I cannot see anymore
Just the spirit in my heart
I know I will see you again


I remember the tragedy
The crying everyday


Our family is wonderful



Don't forget us
Watch over us
Fill us with your spirit and love
Teach us how to live our lives
Embrace us when we see you again



Beauty of your soul and forever your spirit
Forever your spirit here and where you are


Take this message, I bring it to you


My Uncle Jimmy I will follow you, where you were here on Earth and where you are now
