My Lyrics
My lips tell of hardship my elders have endured/ My heart beat quickens when I hear the music time has blurred.
The earth we walk is rich with footsteps of our kin/ if we fail to uphold it, it's against them that we sin.
Leaves rustle gently, like spirits in the breeze/ You can count the years of history in the rings of fallen trees.
Spirits float among us like cinders in a breeze/ Urging us to reignite the flames of history. (a slightly diff. version of a previous submission)
Those whose names we bare, need us to be a voice/ To proudly break the silence that never was their choice.
Those who gave us names, are the fabric of our hearts/ We learn what we are made of by pulling threads apart.
Spirits float among us like cinders in the breeze/ Urging us to reignite our waning flame of history.
Old photos offer glimpses of those who went before/ Urging us to be a voice in disappearing lore.
Seeds of change are killing off the roots of those who've gone/ Voices struggle desperately, battle lines are drawn.
Native tongues define me, deep down in my soul/ Keeping alive the memories is my fervent goal.
Spirits float among us, whispers in the wind.
There might not be a rhyme or reason / sometimes life just gets to teasin' with your heart.
Sometimes life just gets to teasin' with your heart.
No one else can fill these shoes, darlin' it's up to you!
Truth be told, this heart has lied / It's time to love the woman inside.
Your days of feeling second best are through.
Go find your broken smile, Cuz' you've got work to do. / Go paint your world a different hue, it's been blue for quite a while.
You'll never find the love dreams are made of, if your demons won't let you sleep.
There's no use putting Band-Aids on a wound that just won't heal /
It's time to clean my heart out and face the pain I feel.
Love doesn't come with a blueprint, Honey, Rome wasn't built in a day /
My heart's a work in progress, clearing the rubble in my way.
Same words, different day, were any of them true? / Time for me to speak my truth, instead of living life through you.
Our "love affair" got twisted, it changed from day to day. / I had to pick each word so carefully to keep the wolves away.
You can only bend so far before you finally break / Trying to show you I was perfect, was probably my first mistake.
Time to dust off this old heart & roll up these tattered sleeves / Have faith in who I really am, not the lie you wanted so bad to believe.
Teardrops stained the page as I searched for words to right the wrong / Then I realized, it was the lack of loving "ME" that was missing all along.
Each word is a window to my heart; tears stain inside and out. When the tears no longer flowed, I knew, until I care for "ME", there is no loving you.
Each word is a window into my heart; tears stain each page of "My Love Letter"/ When the tears no longer flowed, I knew "ME" so much better.
Darlin', Please read between the blurry lines you find in "My Love Letter"
If you turn the page and try, you'll get to know me so much better.
My heart is full, life just keeps getting better and better /
Hey darlin', come on and read the pages of my Love Letter.
A teenage journal of hopes and dreams are coming true it seems / Those words will now live on in song, and life keeps getting better, as I put music
to, a book of old love letters.
Words of wisdom fill my head, all the little things she said.
The weaver of my hopes and dreams, I never will forget her.
A piece of her runs through my blood, and lives in my love letter.
Take a look inside this window to my heart / You won't find all the answers, but it's a darn good place to start.
It took a while to find you / it's time you put it all behind you.
I see the real you in my rearview mirror.
Temptation grips, oh, just one taste of those lips.
With those Ruby Red lips, and the shake of her hips.
Lookin' for a flower hidin' in the weeds/ some kindness behind the greed.
Searchin' for a road map to your heart.
Carryin' a whole lotta heavy.
Pages of a broken heart
While I sing songs from a stool, I watch you shine like a jewel.
That piece of you still livin' in me, feeds a crowd of insecurity.
The road that got us lost can also lead us back / we don't need a road map to get us back on track
We'll shrug off the weight of darkness / And glide into the light
We'll be the sparks that shatter darkness / We'll give each other light
Steppin' up to higher ground / Hearts beatin' to a new sound.
Put an open sign in the window of your heart / Yesterday's gone, let tomorrow start.
Look at life through other eyes, be the truth that smothers lies.
Be like water quenching thirst, see the best, shrug off the worst.
Lay yesterday down, don't let it haunt you, tomorrow is waiting for you.
Blow dandelion wishes into the breeze, find ways to let life amaze you.
Let life give you cause to always take pause, and smile at gifts that it brings.
An all-inclusive unity / that calms the restless soul.
Gone is the bitterness / that tried to take control. ( 2nd half of 1st verse)
I whispered quiet words of hope / to heal this ailing human race.
Lay down your pride / there's no "me" in this place.
I close my eyes, tip back my head / let sunlight warm my face.
Maybe my reckless heart / can finally rest it's case.
A total calm engulfed me, I feel love here in this place.
As I breathed in the calm/tears of joy ran down my face.
Snapshots of the last few years are few and far between/ It's time to make new memories and wipe the lenses clean.
Coated in desert dust / with wildlife inching near / It's time to forgive myself,
And get on out of here!
Are you of flesh and bone? / Or just my hearts mirage / I pray you're really here / Not just a sunlit montage.
The looks of love you give / I have never known / my truest inside heart / I have never shown / Are you just a mirage?/ Am I still all alone?
I blink and hold my breath / hoping it's not fools gold / Are you really there /
Or will my demise unfold?
The love you showed, I had never known / My inside heart, I had never shown.
Here I am, with my heart out on my sleeve / Come stand with me again, I swear I'll never leave.
My veil of midnight sky is spent / the wild ones rest while owls lament / My soul lays bare no longer hidden / today's the day I beg to be forgiven
Restless sleep collides with crimson skies / creatures stare at me with darting eyes / Time to face my fears and heal this haunted heart / you live inside my soul, we've never been apart.
Shadows make me ten feet tall, they mock my every move / time to cut them down to size, my heart has a case to prove.
Bluest sky, just like your eyes, I'm sure you are "the one"/ Burning need for you inside, makes me break into a run.
Cactus blooms scent the air, under the rising sun. / Burning need for you inside, I know you are the one.
The moon does a slow retreat / the desert creatures rest / I'm headin' home to you / as the sun begins to crest.
My darkest night retreats, the sun begins to rise./ Birdsong fills my ears, under cotton candy skies.
Morning breaks, with bird song, under a watercolor sky./ Peaceful calm fills me, with the hope that it implies.
Morning breeze & tumbleweeds, under crimson desert hues. / Time to make a beeline, on the highway that takes me back to you.
Morning rays, light my way under a blazing sun./ Burning need for you inside,
makes me break into a run.
Cactus blooms, scent the breeze, under the rising sun. / Bluest sky, just like your eyes, I know you are the one.
Midnight skies creep towards dawn / inner demons taking hold /
And like my haunted heart / the desert air grows cold.
Eerie light surrounds me / I drink the bottle dry / what I really thirst for, / I know money cannot buy.
In this eerie moonlight / I damn all my sins / when you dance with the devil / your trip to hell begins (if too offensive, could say "your demise begins")
Wasted days and wild nights / Tortured by old sins / Never did know right from wrong / A cheater never wins.
The words I left unsaid /lost in desert dust / Like thirst I cannot quench / not worthy of your trust.
If these stars were diamonds/ and desert dust was gold/ I'd buy myself some mercy/from a heart that has turned cold.
Raging thirst, just gets worse/with fear on my tongue.
Hard livin', unforgiven, apologies unsung.
Heart's racin', I'm bracin'(bracing) for what's yet to come.
The tears on your face,/ what I wouldn't give/ to taste them right now. A pain I can't erase, one you can't forgive/ you never did know how.
Memories we never made/ That's the price I've paid/ Desert dust steals my words/ My regrets are never heard/ They linger, unforgiven.
Life's gotten really weird/ my dreams have disappeared/ Desert dust coats my tongue/ All my "sorry's" go unsung/ I'm left here unforgiven.
In this eerie light, I condemn my sins/ A game nobody wins/ Left unforgiven.
My soul screams out loud/ No match for desert wind./ Under moonlit clouds,/ I damn all my sins.
My bottle has run dry, thirst unsatisfied/ A captive desert prince, tortured by his lies.
I dream in vivid color, tortured by my sins/ My bottle has run dry, I am the unforgiven.
This canyon rules the weak, hot and unforgiving/mocked by anger, greed and lust/ ruined by hard living.
The wind creates choking dust/ drying up my plea./ "Please forgive what I've done, please set me free".
This rustic paradise, creates raging thirst/ my words spit out like dust, lips cracked and burst.
Seems this canyon knows me/ Peering through my soul./ Moon and sun reveal me, every crevice, every hole.
Tomorrow in the light/ my debt comes due/ I'm out here on the run because of you.
A word to the wise, sometimes scorpions lie, behind what glitters and glows/
Try to resist the venomous kiss, from lips as red as a fresh desert rose.
Tomorrow under blazing sun, vultures will circle the unforgiven/ The bottle is empty, the lies have run dry. There's poison in hard livin'.
Tonight I'll sleep in ignorant bliss, dream of the taste of your venomous kiss/ Tomorrow I will pay the price, when the bottle is empty and the lies have run dry.
Poison flows from the life I'm livin'/ The vultures are circling the unforgiven.
A showdown is coming, it's long over due. My questions are many the answers are few/ When you sleep with scorpions, you pay the price. You might get away once, but not likely twice.
I almost had a winning hand, but your heart just wasn't in it/ If it's forgiveness that you want, you've played me to my limit.
This canyon knows so many sins, in the end nobody wins/ I hold a grudge and a loaded gun, unforgiven and on the run.
Lone ranger of the desert, cold and unashamed/ A man long misunderstood, I've been named "The Unforgiven".
Never been one to apologize, that's just not my style/ What might have been, I'll never know, I am the unforgiven.
Workhorse days and wild nights, no stranger to hard livin'/ Never did know wrong from right, a ranger to the unforgiven. (or, lone ranger of the unforgiven?)
When you dance with devils, don't step on their toes/ Don't forget about the thorns beneath a blooming desert rose.
Soon comes the dawn for every pawn to pay the price for their hard livin'/ This ain't no meet and greet, they're packing heat and your sins are unforgiven.
We had our fun, what's done is done, our sins go unforgiven/ Hard as we try we can't turn back time on all the years of our hard livin'.
With distant lights of city nights, this canyon holds it's sins/ with lust and lies nobody wins, we become the unforgiven.
I was just a pawn in your game of lust and fancy living/ just remember when karma comes around it can be cold and unforgiving.
A restless night and the light of dawn, they cruelly collide/ Out here in this desert dust I can run, but I can't hide.
This restless dead of night, will soon collide with dawn/ In life's big game of chance, you used me like your pawn.
The stars wink to spite me, they know my secrets well / these canyon walls and desert dust become my prison cell.
Desert dust and wanderlust won't heal my broken soul /An unforgiven heart pays a debt it doesn't owe.
When you dance with devils, don't step on their toes /
Don't kick sand in the face of an angry desert rose.
Distant lights of Vegas nights, this canyon holds it's sins /
Some things are unforgiven, & then nobody wins.
You once loved me like a desert storm. Wild, hot and strong./ Then you rolled off like a tumbleweed to a place I don't belong.
Sometimes it takes the darkness to really see the light / I was easily blinded by the illusion of delight.
A chill sets in, and I begin to think I might not be alone/ The desert breeze brings in the scent of cheap cologne.
Night rhythms, fill the air, under a crescent moon / Yellow eyes pierce the night, as a lone coyote croons.
Sun and sand, a nomads land, a man without a plan.
Desert Rose, no one knows the secrets that you hold.
Blue eyes like desert skies, claws like a scorpion./ Hard livin', unforgiven, dying for the perfect love.
Been thinkin' and drinking way too much today/ Got fired, so tired of urban decay.
You played me like an Ace of Spades, thought you'd never lose/your love was just a cactus dressed up in desert hues.
Like loaded dice, we've had our final roll/ time to burn some blacktop & let Red Rock soothe my soul.
Bright lights, Vegas nights, your heart can't be won/ Stakes are high, vultures fly in the heat of the desert sun.
Heartbroken, words spoken, run road runner run/ Cactus flowers know their power, laughing at the sun.
Love takes you, forsakes you, burns you like the sun/ heartbroken words spoken, the damage has been done.
Love won't apologize when it leaves you behind/ Like a blazing desert sun it's cruel and unkind.
Thought I heard you, calling in the night / but it was the coyotes, howling at moonlight.
Desert sun, is beating on my face/ so tired of running backwards in this human race.
Silent beauty, desert stars for eyes / somewhere out there a coyote cries.
The sun's risin', so meek and mild/ soon beating, like a heart gone wild.
Let's sing this song together, we've lived the words we wrote /
We saw a stream become a river and we became the boat.
No more fear of cloudy days, cuz' there's sunshine in your smile /
I finally hear your hearts song that's been quiet for a while.
You've written all new verses, your voice is loud and clear/
I will never hold you back, but if you need me I'm right here.
May your days be brighter and your worries lighter as you journey through this life. Whatever path you choose I know you'll reach new heights.
Watching your heart and soul renew, is worth so much more than gold/
New light sparkles in your eyes, like diamonds I could hold.
The days we live are brighter, our burdens become lighter when we lift each other up. Nothing is impossible when we learn to be like streams.... or so it seems.
When we lift someone , we learn to really give / And when we lift EACH OTHER, it's then that we have truly lived.
When I see the powerful new change in you, it lifts and changes my life too.
It opens hearts and opens minds, and leaves the negative all behind. ( or "and creates new ties that bind."
As you journey through this life, let no one clip your wings /
I'll always help to lift you up, to cross that river that was once a stream.
Wherever life may lead you on this ever changing earth /
I'm always here to lift you up and help pave the road to your self worth.
Wherever you may wander on this great mysterious earth / I wish you an unhurried journey, and a smooth road to self worth.
No matter where life might take you in your time on this earth / I wish you an unhurried journey and a smooth road to self worth.
Wherever you might wander on this great mysterious earth / Stay lifted and gifted on the road that leads you to self worth.
Treat life like a road map, watch for signs along the way /
Trust your inner compass and enjoy the journey of each day.
Savor each day of this life, like it's a sweet summer peach /
I'm here to lift you up through the branches to grab the ones you can't reach
Savor the joy of each day you are gifted, Let today's grace melt into the hope of tomorrow and keep you uplifted.
Let each day be a river of dreams, each sunset like a crest./
When you let life lift you up, waves of grace will do the rest.
Unwrap the days with wonder, greet sunsets as gifts that you live.
When you share what's inside, you find the peace that dreaming gives.
My hope is, when all is said and done, I will feel I did my best, at
lifting you up to a point where faith could do the rest.
When we lift each other up in every situation / it's then we'll find the answers to life's most difficult equations
What is happiness if it is never shared / Where would we be if no one really cared / When we lift someone up, we learn to give / And when we lift EACH OTHER, it's then that we have truly lived.
Let go of finding answers to life's most difficult equations,
Lift each other up by adding positives to every situation.
We may not have all the answers to all life's difficult equations,
But we can convert the negative to gratitude in every situation.
We cannot change all the numbers in living life's equation,
But we can avoid the bitter fruit when we have faith in our salvation.
Let go of finding all the answers to life's difficult equations/
Then you will clearly hear the music in every situation.
When we lift each other up in life's hardest situations,
It's then we truly live the answer to life's difficult equation.
If you listen for the melody in the choices that you make,
it will give your song the right words on every path you take.
When you find the clearest truth in every situation/
it will help remove the negative in this life equation.
If you look to find the clearest truth in every situation/
you will hear the music in the sum of life's equation.
Life doesn't have a road map, to show us the best way/
It's not about our destination, it's the journey of each day.
Let's spread acts of kindness like flames of burning fire/ When we fan the embers, we all burn so much brighter. I'll never take for granted the gifts your soul gives to mine/ Sometimes the simple act of caring, makes all the stars align.
Spread your wings, go take flight, it's time to leave the nest/
Your soul's renewed, your voice is strong, go now and ride the crest.
Your song has found it's voice, let it spread like wild fire.
When we fan the embers, we all burn so much brighter.
What started as a stream, has become your river of dreams/
Faith set in all in motion, and now you're ready for the ocean.... Yeah, let me lift you up....
Sunshine and music parts the clouds/ your song is loud and proud.
We've coaxed a river from a stream/ now go and live your dreams.
As your spirit's voice renews,/ let it spread like flames of fire/
When we fan the embers, we all burn so much brighter.
As you renew your spirit's voice,/ let it spread like flames of burning fire/
When we fan the flames, we all burn so much brighter.
The days we live are brighter, our burdens become lighter when we give the gift of love. Nothing is impossible, or so it seems.
Even warriors need to rest / let me wrap you in gentle arms of love /
Then go tame the river that was once a stream.
We should never take for granted/ the lasting gifts a loving soul can give./
When we share our deepest heart,/ we truly live.
You trusted me to be a nest,/ to give your wings the strength to soar with love/ You deserve to ride the crest of life's finest things.
To help you gain your strength for flight,/ I was proud to be your nesting place./Now you're more than strong enough to soar at your own pace.
You trusted me to help you rise and get through the worst of times/ Now take down the "vacant" sign, go chase those dreams, it's your time to shine.
You trusted me, to help set free your jaded heart/ the road's been long,but the weight is gone, go chase your wildest dreams.
You think I gave your dreams their flight, but I was just the nest./ I kept them safe until you were strong enough to do the rest.
You put your trust in me, it set you free to find what you were made of./Once vacant, now fulfilled, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Expose your soul, you've stayed the course, and now you live your dreams.
When the weight is gone, you'll reach higher ground, take flight and realize your dreams.
Reach up, take my hand, you belong on higher ground./Right here, right now let's turn this thing around.
A fragile heart that finds rest in gentle arms, soon learns to beat a little stronger.
resubmit: I’ll never take for granted the gifts your soul gives to mine/
Sometimes the simple act of caring, makes all the stars align.
Just remember, moonbeams still dance when it's cloudy/ And on the darkest of nights, Orion twinkles proudly.
Let loving silence linger when your voice can't find the words./
Wrapped in gentle arms, understanding will occur.
Never take for granted the gifts the soul can give/ when we lift each other,
then we truly live.
I'll never take for granted the gifts your soul gives to mine/
Sometimes the simple act of caring, makes all the stars align.
I'm here to help give wings to your heavy, heavy heart/ I'll help you bare the weight life carries, so brighter days can start.
Life is your canvas, to paint the dawn of each new day/
Don't use just the black and white or your day will end up gray.
The days we live are brighter if we look past what we're facing/
When we trust each other we can catch the happiness (bliss?) we're chasing.
Burn that midnight oil, light the candle at both ends/there's no reason to
be afraid, you're in the company of friends.
Live your life in color, black and white can be a bore/ Why settle for the safest bet when you have keys for every door.
I want to be there with you when you connect the missing link/ When they ask you what your secret is, just answer with a wink.
Get ready, you (or we?) have a future to ignite/ Let's live life in color, go beyond the black and white.
Dream big, you have a future to ignite/Let's live life in color, go beyond the black and white.
I wish you rainbows and roses to end each day/ go find the needle in each stack of hay. (Or: Drop your blues at my feet and I'll chase them away.)
We can quench the need for simple kindness, if we let go of petty things that blind us.
Hold tight to ties that bind, and everything'll be alright.
The sunshine in your smile gives cloudy days the slough.
I know the gifts you hold inside, go on and strut your stuff.
I'll gladly be your stepping stone, whenever times get tough.
Let life be the canvas you paint your stories on.
Life is out there waiting/you have a future to ignite.
Come lean on my heart until you learn the words to your song.
Let me be your stepping stone, when the river gets too wide.
No fear of cloudy days, cuz' you've got sunshine in your smile.
Use the stepping stones to move in new directions/ Look into the depths, you'll see a beautiful reflection.
Let the rushing water wash you clean, bring ashore your wildest dreams.
As we tread water and ride up on waves made by others/
Let's try to leave behind a lifeline for our brothers.
It's time to raise the bar, go follow that shooting star/
Go ahead and be the jewel you are and let yourself shine.
It's time we lift each other/ really be a gift to each other.
Be the reflection of/ someone you love/ and let yourself shine.
You help quench a thirst for simple kindness/ you help erase the things that blinds us.
Use the keys to unlock the door, your stronger than what chained your core.
You need to remember you've got what it takes and more/ Show this world what your made of, it's time to let yourself roar. ( or soar?)
Tho' we've been apart, I hope you know in your heart, what we've had from the start never changes.
Take the key, unlock the door. You are stronger than the things that shook you to the core.
Life has stung us, like angry bees in a swarm, but ya get to taste honey when you weather the storm.
When bitter outweighs the sweet, it's time to reach for higher ground. Climb inside your head and turn this thing around.
Let rainbows and rosebuds rock your world. It's time get your wings unfurled.
Not givin' up, not givin' in, It's way past time to make this world spin.
Don't let the wrong get tangled in the right.
Push back at darkness and dance into the light.
Come close to me, cuz' I've missed that beautiful face, you make me weak in the knees and make the world a better place.
The world keeps on spinnin', we might as well be grinnin'! Let's do this thing!
Life's too short to not give it all you got, you give color to my world, in case you forgot.
Let's live more days of our life, igniting a light in the eyes of others. Love fully, laugh freely, and help other hearts recover.
Gather up those old regrets and send them off on wings/ It's time to shine and move on to better things.
That rainbow you've been searching for is shining on your face/ soon, better times, soon a better place.
Breathe deep and find your voice, it's your time to soar.
Silence isn't golden, when you're lonely to your core.
The silence has not been golden, it has left us bruised and jaded/ Voices became silent and laughter almost faded.
Our souls could use some soothing, our spirits need a lift / Music is a language that helps bridge the deepest rift.
Your humble kindness can quench a thirsty soul/ let's gather up the broken notes and somehow make them whole.
Push back the darkness and dance into the light/ don't lay awake and worry in the middle of the night.
Your ever humble heart can quenche a thirsty soul.
You gather up the brokeness and somehow make it whole.
Let's not sweat the small stuff in the middle of the night.
Cling to ties that bind and everything'll be alright.
( A more compact version of an earlier submission)Live the days of your life, igniting a light in the lonely eyes of others. Love fully, laugh freely, helping bruised hearts to recover.
Unfold the map and throw the dart, pick a place to go. Get off this dead end road and listen to your heart.
Rekindle the days that thrilled and amazed you, they're out there waiting for you. Open your heart make a new start, it's time to be rid of the blues.
Let the days of your life be lit by a light you ignite in the eyes of others.
Love deeply, laugh loudly ,helping our bruised hearts recover.
A treasured gem, so rare and true. My heart beats stronger because of you.
I'd do anything at all, I would even crawl if it would bring the light back to your eyes and renew the broken ties of love.
Hey there, haven't seen you in a while. Have I told you just how much I've missed your sweet, sweet smile?
You hear me talking, but you won't let me in. Feels like social distancing is never going to end.
Don't feel like talkin', or goin' out for lunch. Seems like life has dealt us one big sucker punch.
Push back at darkness, so it doesn't steal your light. So much wrong, it gets tangled up with right.
If your heart song has gone silent, let me sing to you.
We'll write new words together, that's what real friends do.
When rainbows seem impossible, you must become the storm.
You'll never taste the honey, if you don't stand up to the swarm.
If darkness clouds your weary mind, I can be the light. When your heart feels broken, my arms are open to hold you through the night.
I still see a brightness burning behind the tears you've cried. Let's go find ourselves a rainbow and take it for a ride.
One more drop of lonely is about all that we can take. Hang an open sign inside your heart and let's give those blues a shake.
I'm feeling a bit blindsided by the abrupt end to our song. Did something happen that made you decide to tie it up and end it early? It was great to interact with you and Chris and build the song. I will miss the live stream, I'll be working. ?
Such a great life we've had/that won't ever change...but I'll still be missing things, so many little things.
When we leave this earth../ Where do we go? ( will we still be missing things?)
Help you let go of your fears/ I'll be here...(but I'm already missing things)
I love to see you light up with a smile/Gee, it's been a while.
I reach down and touch your cheek/Do you know it's me?
Our best days are now in the past/It went so fast.
You used to tell stories about our life/Now they're locked inside.
A piece of you will live on in me/faith sets us free.
When God calls you home, you'll be free. I let that comfort me.
My heart will frame your best days.
Let me be the light you need.
The tie that binds us never changes.
Now begins our long goodbye.
A mothers love knows no end.
A mother's love has no end.
I'm so lucky to have had the best./ Now we put our faith to the test.
Once you're called home you'll be free.
Lord, where do we go from here?
Time steals a little more each day/ Let go and trust God you say.
Life holds so much mystery.
Who knows what tomorrow brings.
I'm homesick for the simple days.
The monsters are at your door
A life well lived is no promise.
Will we see more Christmas days?
You made this house a home.
Sometimes life seems so unfair...
Your young boy is now a man...
I brushed your soft silver hair...
I hold your soft hand in mine...
I'll treasure each picture we took...
Now your soft silver hair falls gently around your face.
I treasure the pictures I took of you just today.
If my dandelion wishes could come true...
The heart gently whispers, when words fail to come.
Make each moment count, each word a blessing.
This boy will always honor your name.
Seems our hearts words can't get to our lips...
Oh faith please rescue me....
What the good lord gives/ he takes
The years have slipped by/ so fast.
We can't slow down the hands/of time.
Life stories that are locked up inside.
Life stories we can no longer share...
The seasons will continue to change/ in this life we can't rearrange.
Back to our home sweet home....
I swear I’d give anything to bring all of you back to me
You gave me a life of immeasurable love/ you stood up for me when push came to shove/ I know I should give the same back to you/ but I just want back... who you used to be/ God help me, cuz' I'm missing things.
Some days it feels like someone else is in your skin, and I'm so afraid...this might be, a battle we aren't going to win.
If I could, I would change this world. I would bring you back, ALL of you back, to sit here with me. And in these photos we'd see, what a wonderful life we had. You made it that way, every day, for you, me and Dad.
You did life's toughest job/ of being a mom/ you were nurse, cook and maid/ and you never complained/ You did it with grace/ here in this place..../ called home.../ home sweet home.
The image of you in that picture is one I'll never forget. I see your joy of giving, I see your motherly love and I see what I need most right now.... your faith in God above.
I'd bring out a million pictures if it would help you to remember/
how you gave your all for us each year, from January to December.
You were a nurse, a teacher, and a wonderful cook, you always did whatever it took. That boy in the picture is one lucky man, and he's here to give back as much as he can.
When I was sick you were such a great nurse, When we heard the ice cream truck coming, you opened your purse. On good days and bad, you gave all that you had. So, now it's my turn to step up and give you the same, even on days you don't remember my name.
All the life lessons/ some big and some small/ The love in your voice on every phone call/ The laughter, the pain/ They make up the blood that runs through our veins.
I miss your great cooking and the canning you did. I miss the easy days of just being a kid. You hold up that photo and ask me again, if I know who that boy is and where he has been.
I miss your garden, and seeing you tend it with care. Your dirty old gloves and the ribbon you tied in your hair. I miss the smell of your pies that won you ribbons each year at the fair.
The mothers love you gave to me, from a point of view only you could see. The joy you showed just to wake each day. It's so hard to watch it fade away.
We always gathered on Sundays for the big evening meals you prepared. You always said it was nothing, that you just liked having us there. Now you can't recall those days at all and again you ask me my name.
When I help you lay down at night, it seems like I'm losing sight, of the woman that raised me so right. I hope I can always be an example of the mother’s love that you gave to me.
I'm so thankful for the the pictures we've stored, like the one you hold so tight when you lay down at night. They help me hold you here, while I face the fear of missing you.
Let's untie the lid/ on the boxes life hid/ in the upstairs rooms, where my childhood looms. Please take my hand, help me to understand what you really see, when you look at me in those snapshot memories.
Let's not move so fast, through the days that have passed/ can't we make them last?/ rewind all the days/ that you and I played /and laughed time away.
The tears that we cry/ as we ask ourselves why/ will never cloud, just how proud, you have made me to be/ a reflection of /the mother's love you've given to me.
I cling to the days/ when your eyes are clear/ cuz' that's when I know that you're really here/ in all the memories we share.
Tho' your smile's still bright,/ I sort of feel the light/ of your heart growing dimmer. It's so hard to see/ time steal from me, a little each day/ the glimmer of those loving eyes.
As time goes by, I can see in your eyes there might come a time I'm a stranger.
I pray you know in your heart I've been your boy from the start and that never changes.
But now I just pray
I remember the soft fuzzy scarf/ you knitted in warm Autumn hues/
You'd wrap it around me/ and help me to pull on my boots.
I remember you trying to teach me to tie my shoes/ When I tied them in knots, you always looked so amused. ( or: you laughed at the look on my face when I got so confused)
I remember you trying to teach me how to be kind/ You're the most shining example of kindness I'll ever find.
I remember my "Radio Flyer", and using it to pull my best friend./ A black lab named Duke, he was a great dog right to the end. (If you can't use a brand name in the song you could say "red wagon"
I remember the soap box derby and jigsaw puzzles we did.
The jars of fireflies, with you helping me punch holes in the lid.
Mom I remember you cheering me on at my games, and now even I am forgetting the other kid's names. I too am missing things.
When I feel your hearts light growing dimmer, please know I'll always remember the glimmer of your loving eyes.
As time goes by, if in your eyes I'm a stranger,/ I hope you know in your heart, I've been your boy from the start and that never changes. (or: you were my mom from from day one and that never changes.)
( A tweaked version of previous): As time slips away, if to you I become a stranger, please know in your heart, I've been your son from the start and that never changes.
The old Chevy you gave me sits parked by the shed. You and Dad tied cans to the bumper on the day I was wed.
"Mom", Sometimes you were like a wizard in disguise/ You could kiss away my bumps and scrapes, then give me milk and cookies as you dried my eyes.
There's so many more photos in boxes upstairs, I found one of us on the porch swing, oh how we loved sitting there.
There's so many more photos in boxes upstairs. I found one of you on the porch swing, hand to your forehead against the suns glare.
You'd come cheer me on at my little league games, now EVEN I can't remember
all the other kids names.
In the old Buick, you taught me to drive/ It's hard to believe it still sits outside.
That rusty old Buick still sits parked by the shed, you and dad tied cans to the bumper on the day you were wed.
I can picture those trains like it was just yesterday, they’re still in the attic today/ Even you in your pretty green dress, would get down on the floor and play.
I can picture that boy playing with trains like it was just yesterday. You raised me to be the man that I am and it's so hard to see you this way.
I can picture those trains like it was just yesterday, and they're still in the attic today/ what I can't figure out is how we go about making the memories stay.
Your smile's still bright but your chestnut brown hair has grayed./I picture our dinners where we all held hands and we prayed.
I remember the glimmer that glowed in your bright blue eyes.
I'd come home from school to the smell of your freshly baked pies.
You'd come tuck me in and kiss my forehead "goodnight".
We'd giggle and say, "Don't let the bed bugs bite".
I said "You and Dad were always so sad when you missed my games." You looked at me and said " Son, please tell me his name."
Your thoughts may be dimmer, but they don't change the glimmer, of your bright blue eyes. These tears on your face, can't steal the grace that I knew.
The years that we spent knitting our family ties, are all tangled in thoughts that are stuck somewhere deep inside.
The memories we've made have slowly been stolen away/ We'll get through it together, I promise,somehow, some way!
I clearly see the questions you have in your eyes/ The heartbroken look comes as no surprise...
Where have the years gone, how long will you be here, what will tomorrow bring? I don't have all the answers, and there's a good chance.... I'm missing things.
Son, I just thought of the old Buick and us going here and there. But, now I think the time has come for someone else to steer.
Should we look at more old pictures since we're both so wide awake?
I just thought of the old Buick and the drives we used to take.
We used to love the Sunday drives, and playing simple games / Now the Buick sits all rusted and I forget the neighbors name. Yeah, I'm missing things...
Pictures can be like a road map that takes us through the years/ Then there comes a time when you need someone else to steer.
We took Sunday drives in the old Buick, going here and there/
But there comes a time we need someone else to steer.
When I sit here with you, it helps me remember the past/ But, I get so afraid because I already know that these moments won't last.
The yellowed face of my old plastic clock, ticks off the minutes till dawn/ As the sunrise draws near we are aware that another day is gone.
Gather up those old regrets and send them off on wings/ Cuz' now's the time to appreciate all the little things.
The golden years have tarnished and we can't get them back/
Giving thanks for what we have makes up for what we lack.
We've had such a good life, but now time is not our friend/ The light on the past is dimming and I know we can no longer pretend... Yeah, I'm missing things.
These pictures can be a road map into our past/ But the cruel truth is that time is a detour that we won't outlast.
As time slips away, when there comes a day, we are strangers.
Please know in your heart who I was at the start never changes.
As time goes by, we'll wonder why again. And try as we might
the answers won't always be there.
You see a bride and her groom, getting ready to say " I do".
But the times you remember it's us, are becoming so few.
The edges are bent, from the time that you've spent hanging on.
The dress was so pretty, but the person that's in it is gone.
Just yesterday, you said that you dreamed he was still here. It's so hard to believe it's already been more than a year.... that we've been missing him.
Just yesterday morning, you said you had dreamed he was here. It's hard to believe it's already been more than a year...
Said you were dreamin' and thinking 'bout old times again.
I heard you talk in your sleep, 'bout memories you keep, but now your heart can't seem to hold them.
I kissed away your tears, opened a couple beers and we talked until first light.
You said you were sorry, but you could no longer pretend.
The dreams of your momma had woke you again.
It was your birthday, and I had forgotten again.
Said you couldn't get back to the feeling of when we began.
Waiting for that moment when we can finally exhale. It gets so darn exhausting to ride the paper trail.
Can you look us in the eye and tell us all is well? Cuz' lately it sure seems this world has gone to hell!
We'll turn every stone, examine every word. To think that we'd sit silent is totally absurd.
We are every color, waving flags in every hue, we are the people, love is love,
and we want the right to choose.
Beware of all the smirks that lie behind a smile. They'll pretend to give an inch, while they deceive you by a mile.
Glib are the words and muffled are the sounds, in the American underground.
Glib of tongue is readily found, in the American Underground.
Life's a circus with clowns abound, in the American underground.
Wrong isn't right, and right's hardly found, in the American Underground.
Chorus: There is no guilt and there is no shame, in the American underground.
Just pass the buck, as if it's a game. There's always someone else to blame.
We are done with maybes; we want to know for sure. Don't poke a sleeping lion and expect it not to stir.
Swept away like magic, the truth just disappears. Now you see it, now you don't. A game of smoke and mirrors.
The half-truths fall like rain, it trickles from the top. The perfect storm is brewing, when will it ever stop?
We plant the seeds of change; we'll reap just what we sow. If the plot becomes too thick, take time to thin the rows.
Seeds of change are planted; we watch the new life grow. If the plot becomes too thick, you must thin out the rows.
Misinformation keeps messin' with my head. Can't be too sure who's butterin' your bread.
Demand action, demand change. Schools shouldn't be someone's shooting range.
They tell us it's the person, they say it's not the gun. I hate to burst your bubble, but these weapons were not built for fun.
We won't give up, we won't give in, selling military weapons is a money hungry sin.
I've forgotten what it feels like to get "good news". Tell me how many more will die while you fight the right to choose.
The news holds so much tragedy, our world has gone insane.
How dare they say the ease of buying guns is not to blame.
How did military weapons, become your "right" to own? This "assault" the laws allow just chills me to the bone!
Military weapons should not be sold like toys. You have no "right" to give such evil hands, this power to destroy!
Deaf ears, narrow minds, they just close their eyes. Another AR tragedy that they defend the right to buy.
While rifles sell like candy bars, you fight the right to choose.
How about fighting half that hard to keep children safe at school!
Guns are bought like candy, and they hardly bat an eye.
Pro life you claim, as we listen to the parents cry.
resubmit: More questions than answers, that's how it goes. Nobody wants to listen to us ordinary "joes"!
resubmit: Man, these times are trying, it's messin' with my head. Feels like the government is sleepin' in my bed.
Raise your voices, be the change, don't let our futures be prearranged.
We must stand up, we can't sit down, now is the time to turn this around. (chorus)
When will it end? Cobwebs fill my head. Don't like the government sleeping in my bed.
Hey, have you heard, the voice of contempt? Speak up, listen close, they're letting us down.
Who do you trust, the doubts hang around, Come on, we've got pavement to pound.
Talk is so cheap, tired of listening. Lie to our faces, while your nose turns brown!
Come on,let's go, it's time to take a stand! Let's make our voices heard, all across the land.
Man, these times are trying, it's messin' with my head.
Feels like the government is sleepin' in my bed.
More questions than answers, that's the way it goes.
Nobody wants to listen to us ordinary "joes"!
Don't want to hear the news, this world has gone insane.
My heart breaks with the tragedy, please give me back mundane!
What's this world coming to, I'm scared and I'm confused!
Every time I hear the news, my heart becomes more bruised.

The Storm Inside
Money isn't everything
Online dating experiences.... Am I correct that right now we are just submitting ideas for a theme of the song??? It was difficult to hear in the video.
Too many dreams have been lost this way, Break the silence, be the change.
Let's move out of this darkness and dance into the light.
Lifes gifts are waiting, you have a future to rewrite.
Rain can give us rainbows; darkness gives way to light.
I give my hand in friendship, to help you win this fight.
A heart still speaks when it is silent, Love gives it a voice.
I feel sure your heart is telling you that life is your best choice.
Let me help you abandon this ledge that you stand on, because tomorrow is waiting for you, (yeah) tomorrow is waiting for YOU!
We started out as strangers; we'll walk away as friends/ We'll work
on new beginnings, this is not meant to be the end.
Take hold of my hand, look forward not back, your future is calling to you!
The depth of heart that brought you here, will also guide you home.
Let strength surround you and help with the unknown.
Hold tight to what mattered before it got scattered, and all this uncertainty grew. Look forward not back, your future is calling to you.
Look forward to days that will thrill and amaze you, they're out there waiting for you. Right now, you may not believe me, but soon you will see that it's true.
It's time to abandon that ledge that you stand on.
It's time to get back on land and go reimagine your life.
Resubmit: The depth of heart that brought you here can also lead you home. Let the strength of those who love you help with the unknowns.
Too many gone before you, please don't choose this as the end.
I'm right here to help you, I want to be your friend.
If you were meant to leave this earth, our paths would not have crossed.
God's grace put me here to help prevent this loss.
Don't be ashamed of the rawness in your soul. The shattered heart that brought you here will mend with love and feel whole.
This gift of life is like a canvas, we paint our stories on.
Don't give up and drop your brush until your masterpiece is done
Just one step can forever change tomorrow. Take that step towards me, together we can get you through this sorrow.
Don't let today's pain close the door on your tomorrows.
Let love and friendship be the doorstop for your sorrow.
Trust the words of those who love you and really want you here.
They can take the wheel, until you remember how to steer.
The depth of heart that brought you here can also lead you home.
Let the strength of those who love you help with the unknowns.
Let friendship surround you, to help renew your hopes and dreams.
It can carry you along while you gain back your self esteem.
Listen for the whispers, of angels in your ear. they will take the wheel when you've forgotten how to steer.
You'd miss the love of family and the beauty of the land, once again I'll ask you, "Won't you please come and take hold of my hand?"
Your dreams are waiting at the fork in the road. Leave your pain on this bridge, it will lighten your load.
Cling tight to your faith in ties that bind. Come greet tomorrow and leave tonight behind.
Don't give up on unconditional love, and the strength of friendship when push comes to shove.
Joys big and small are all within reach, like falling in love or a juicy ripe peach.
Don't miss the joy of new love in your heart, that tingle inside from cupid's sweet dart.
You'll miss all of the pleasures life has to give, There's easily a million reasons to live.
The joy you bring to the lives of others, the return of that love from your sisters and brothers.
The look of true love with no words being spoken, the fullness of heart when it's no longer broken.
The art in a snowflake, the latest dance craze, and the arms that would hold you on these dark lonely days.
Bright rainbows after storms, and making angels in the snow.
Life's simple pleasures and the lesson's they teach, or the juice on your chin from a sweet summer peach.
The pure joy of a child's laughter, the passion of new dreams to chase after.
There will be days that will thrill and amaze you, no matter the questions of what, when, or who.
The simple pleasures life has to give, a million and one reasons to live.
The joy of feeling new love in your heart, that tingle inside from cupid's sweet dart.
The amazing moments of every hour, the petal and vine of a sweet summer flower.
Sometimes the whole world looks black and it's hard to see the white.
We have to push through that darkness, to get back into the light.
If you pour out all the pain you feel and put it in perspective,
You're sure to find there truly are so many reasons to live.
I know it's hard to reason with the storm you feel inside/
But don't listen to the Devil's voice, he will tell you lies.
Don't view tomorrow through the lens of today. This is just one snapshot taken on a cloudy day.
Don't let the ghosts force you off that ledge. Just get through one moment and then move on to the next.
Hold on for good things you can't yet imagine. One breath at a time, open up and let them in.
Like a prisoner of Alcatraz, this bay looks like a way out. This bridge of steel and stone has locked you in self doubt.
Dark waters tempt a tortured soul, to find freedom in their depths.
Let's use the lights along the shoreline to guide us home instead.
Sorrow takes us to dark places and blocks out all the light. I don't know all the answers, but I can be your beacon on this night.
An inner voice says," give up". Another tells you to stay. With ragged sobs I beg of you, don't look for answers in that bay.
Your heart cannot measure all of life's treasures, when hopelessness rules your mind.
If you need a lifeline, I will be that rope. Please don't let go of that final shred of hope.
Please don't fear my presence, you don't owe me a thing. It's pure and simple caring that I bring.
Scream if you need to or sit silent by my side. Hearts have a way of speaking even when they're quiet.
I have no magic answers to chase the pain away, but I will stay all night to be a beacon in your storm.
You don't know me, but yet in a way you do, I think the loss of hope that brought you here, is something I've felt too.
Resubmit: Don't let the demons and the darkness convince you they were right. Let me take your hand and lead you back into the light.
Your intention looms with icy starkness, but your gentility outshines it.
Don't let the demons and the darkness convince you they were right. Let me take your hand and lead you back into the light.
To you I am a stranger, please tell me your name. I care about the danger that made you feel this pain.
Please if you can hear me, I want to know your name. Believe me when I tell you are not to blame.
You don't know me, but yet in a way you do, I think what brought you here, is the loss of hope that I've felt too.
If you can hear me, please listen to my voice, I care about the sorrow that brought you to this choice.
Be the soft breeze on someone’s face, the gentle smile on lips to trace. Be there to find new dreams to chase

Title: Darkness Into Light
A new calm fills our hearts, we're hungry for new starts.
What's done is done, unwrap the gift of today.
The lonely days let go, we saw the lowest low, now we can calm our restless
souls.
No more talking in the mirror, to calm our restless fear, we found a shelter in the storm.
We rub our eyes and wonder, how we kept from going under, all this time.
Bury yesterday's tears, tomorrow's not yet here, so remember, live for today.
The lows of yesterday, can be tomorrow's hope, but can't dim the light of today.
Let go of yesterday, have hope for tomorrow, but give all you've got for today.
We knew we'd meet again; we just didn't know when, now we are lonely no more.
The sun lights up our faces, and slowly it erases, the darkness we went through.
The beauty of this life, is that despite all our strife, we will rise.
As twilight surrounds us, love quietly tells us, to live in the here and now.
Weather wealthy or poor, Love will open it's door, to us all.
Some walk in castle halls, some find smooth canyon walls. But love will answer every call.
Let love be a nightlight, that calms and makes right, the restless feelings that call.
Let love grow all around us, as arms gently surround us, and we rise.
It's floating on the clouds and hiding in new crowds, this love that grows around us.
Lay down all your old pain, Let's live the words brought in, on wind and rain.
We should close our eyes and remember with pride, all those that Heaven has already called.
In cold castle halls, and on clay canyon walls, we paint the fires we hope to rekindle.
In castle halls and on canyon walls, we sweep up the dust that has settled.
No castle or canyon could ever imagine the story we know as, life.
Let's make it our mission to end this division and reimagine our lives.
In castles and canyons, we start to abandon, the fears that we hide.
In castles and canyons, we make peace with companions, as we remember all those that tried.
In castles and canyons, we start to abandon, our fears.
From canyons to castles, we dig through the gravel, and rise.
In our castle towers, I hope we recognize our power, to grow love.
From our castles in the sky, we hear the quiet cries of all who went before us.
From our castle walls, we hear the quiet calls, of those who went beyond.
Our castle walls hold voices, of those who made the choices, to let go.
As the days end falls, we hear the prayers of all collide on canyon walls.
As day and night collide, we hear the prayers that call from canyon walls.
We will be alright; we will be okay. Plan for tomorrow, live for today.
It's time to search our souls, and deep inside we'll know, that this is where love grows.
We've shouldered so much weight, cringed through all the hate, and now it's time to shine.
Life has been unkind, but if we look real close we'll find, there's unity in ties that bind.
Life gave us reason, to move into a season, of unity and love for all.
Through the storm we endured things, seems now we're all kings,
and life has served us a banquet.
The storm we endured, shook us and stirred us, and gave us a big drink of love.
It seems pretty certain; we're no longer hurtin'. It feels like we started a garden of love.
It seems pretty certain, we're no longer hurtin', feels like we're wrapped in a blanket of love.
Love's sure to grow tall, if we promise we'll always stand up for each other.
Please promise you'll share, all the love that is here,
so, life will be sweeter for all.
(resubmit, slight change) Feel the loving care, it's there for us to share. We have found the place that love grows.
Learn all the words, to the tune that you heard, someone's heart sing.
The storm we endured, shook us, and lured us, into a season of love.
You'll find all life's treasure, if you remember to measure, the moments with love.
Let love give you cause, to always take pause, and smile at the gifts that it brings.
Wear your heart on your sleeve, it's okay to believe,
in happily ever after.
As we twist and we turn, together we'll learn to harvest the love all around us.
Please teach me the words, to the song that I heard, strumming your heart strings.
Arrive with intention, no need to mention the leftover heartache we hide.
We reap seeds of love and when push comes to shove, we'll stand together.
Love's promise can bring, a song it will sing, until you learn the words to the one in your heart.

That soon I'd be hanging an "open" sign in the window of my heart.
How your smiles would feed my soul, and make my heart feel whole.
I was singing my songs from an old wooden stool, I saw you float through the crowd with the shine of a jewel.
One more day of "lonely" is about all I can handle, Honey, come and be the "flame" to my candle.
May life give you days, that thrill and amaze. Honey, I want that for you. Your sweet kiss goodnight, your touch at first light, some things are made for two.
I used to have fun as a party of one, but then you came into view. Now I am certain, that surely I'm flirtin' with changing that number to two.
Please put an "open" sign in the window of your heart, Let kindness wash your soul, let it pierce you like a dart.
Let chaos be the fuel/ to ignite the Golden Rule
When chaos looms so darkly, try hard to dance into the light.
When chaos comes, it tries to shake you to your soul/Feed on love and kindness and let it keep you whole.
Please put an "open" sign in the window of your heart, Let kindness wash your soul, let it pierce you like a dart.
I'll hug you with my heart and I'll send you a smile. We may be apart but love can travel miles. Let it be contagious
Could you please put an open sign in the window of your heart? Let it be contagious, let love fill your cart.
Kindness is essential, keep it "open" in your heart. Let it be contagious as you do your part.
These times they are uncertain, it's a universal burden, now more than ever, we must come together. One world.
Don't let those hard times cloud your mind, cling to the faith in ties that bind, and know I'll carry you.
I'm never gonna change your mind, but I think in time you'll find, with all the mystery life carries, and the feelings that we bury, you really have been blind.
I'm never gonna change your mind, you've always been the stubborn kind. You think life's a bowl of cherries, with all the mystery it carries. If you'd pull your head out of that hole,& look deep down in your soul I think you'd realize, there ain't always cherries in them bowls!
This road map in my hand can lead me back to you. Problem is, there are signs along the way that tell me you don't have a clue.
