It’s Courage
Courage,
It keeps me going when times are hard,
It's something no one can take away from me,
For courage is what I need the most,
When there's no where to go,
Courage is what steps up,
And I hold my head up high,
Up high knowing I have courage,
When everything else seems to fall apart,
Courage is always there for me,
People will be mean but it won't matter,
To me as long as I have courage,
I will stand up tall and speak up,
Knowing I have courage,
Nothing can stop me when I have courage,
Because I'll be walking down the street,
With my head help high, and my voice will ring out,
Out against all other voices,
My voice will go down to the bottom of their hearts,
And letting them know that they can,
Can do anything as long as they have courage.
Lovestruck
Love is running rampant in the streets
Cupid is running out of arrows
People's hearts are forever changed
Can you feel the love in the air tonight?
Let us forget about the silly, stupid things
That drives us insane,
And stick together forever,
There's a fire in my heart
That can't be extinguished
I'll always love you
Until the end of time
Love is running rampant in the streets
And I'm being washed away by this tidal wave of love
I'm not your knight in shining armor
But I can be your true love
My heart has been stuck by Cupid's arrow
I've become lovestruck baby
Grab my hand and you'll see
How crazy I am about you!
Breathe
Can't breathe,
Walls are suddenly closing in on me
My vision is blurred and I'm losing my focus
'Help me I'm suffocating!' I cry out,
But no one can hear me
They're just staring at me
My heart is bursting out of my chest
Bum-bump-bum-bump....
I'm about to faint,
I can't breathe in this enclosed space,
My body feels like it's burning hot
Am I slowly dying?
Then I hear a voice say 'Just breathe
Let it out slowly.'
I listen to the voice and I let out a deep breath
And after a while my vision returns
And my heart beats slows down
The earth stops spinning from underneath me
Now I can breathe.
Torn Apart
When I hear their battle cries of sudden death,
Death seems to be knocking at my front door
My front door budges and then burst open into pieces
Into pieces my dignity goes whenever I come near their swords
Their swords cut through my heart and my entire being
My entire being shakes in the looming darkness
Darkness is all I can see today
Today was the first day of the never ending wars
Wars erupt all around me and I'm becoming petrified
Petrified by their constant battling over what once was a squabble
What once was a squabble turned into World War III
Into World War III that has lasted over six years
Six years way too long for the brothers to be fighting
To be fighting that has turned family members against each other,
Against each other so as the fighting continues, one by one
One by one they shall fall into the same turmoil as they are in
They are in a state of darkness with no where to go
No where to go and no one to turn too,
No one to turn too, so whose at fault here,
Here on the battle ground death seems to be lurking
Lurking around these helpless souls who are fighting for no cause
No cause to fight but they can't remember why they're fighting
Fighting against each other, this War has been going on far too long
Too long have I sat back and watched this family be torn apart
Torn apart from their moral mindset
Their moral mindset has been changed by too many mistakes
Mistakes that could have been avoided but they had to start a squabble
A squabble that turned into a never ending war.
I Could Hardly Imagine
I could hardly imagine
When you put your life on the line
Just to save mine
You are so divine,
When You died on that cross
And rose on the third day
We were all at loss
For the words You prayed,
All shall bow down
When You come again
You'll have the crown
And You shall reign,
You were sent to set us free
From the lies of this Earth
You did plea
So we could be rebirth
How holy is Your name
I could hardly imagine
The daughter I have become
For I am Your bloodline,
You saved me from this pain
And took me into Your arms
And broke the chains
Of the world's harm,
When You came for me
I could hardly imagine
What my life might be
When You put Your life on the line,
My life would be filled with praise
When I show the world I'm Yours
From the dark abyss I will raise
From these never ending wars,
Who could hardly imagine
The reasons why You chose
To help me waken
From the depths of the shadows,
I'm ready to meet You
At the gates of Your home
I've lived all the way through
From this life I've roamed,
You chose a fool,
A silly old fool,
From these jaws,
Because I was filled with flaws.
I’m Striving To Be A Better Me
I'm striving to be a better me,
Because what I once was
Has only dragged me down
And prevented me from achieving
What I am aiming to accomplish,
I'm striving to be a better me,
Because I linger on what once was
Instead of seeing what is,
What is more important to live in
Then living in the darkness of the past
I struggle to see what the future holds for me
Because I'm stuck on the past
But I'm striving to be a better me,
And become someone worth living for,
I no longer want to dwell on what once was,
And I'll start seeking out the truth in the present,
Because I'm striving to be a better me.
Demons, They’re Out There
Demons, they're out there,
Waiting to strike out in the dark,
When I lay in my bed, I can sense them,
Their voices make their way into my already troubled mind,
Their thoughts become my thoughts,
Making me wonder,
Does anyone else hear them?
Darkness consumes my mind,
I'm falling into a deep abyss,
Where there's no escape,
My dreams become nightmares,
My eyes are blurred with these tears of defeat,
Demons, they're out there,
Can't you sense them?
They love to pull at my heart,
They're tearing it apart,
Their voices screaming into my ear,
Making me doubt myself,
I fear the never ending darkness,
When darkness comes, it brings along something else,
Something that is waiting to strike out in the moonlight.
Demons, they are out there,
Waiting to strike in the dark,
I can sense them,
So why can't you,
I've screamed for you to help me,
But you just looked away,
You let them snatch me away in the dark.
Do you not care anymore,
Where is the light when all goes dark,
I'm suffocating on my fear of them,
Demons, they are out there,
They've gotten a hold of me now,
Whenever I lay in bed, they are with me,
They are out there, waiting to strike at those who oppose.
Demons, they're out there,
Be on guard for them,
For when the sun goes down,
It's time for the demons to play,
To come out and strike,
Strike out in the never ending darkness,
Demons, they're out there.....
Time Passes By
Time passes by
Hour by hour
Minute by minute
But for me, I'm frozen in time
There's no words that could describe
The hurt I've been feeling,
Wanting you to notice
That this pain comes when you turn away
Time passes by
But for me, I'm frozen in time
Waiting for the light to shine through this darkness,
Where are you
When all seems lost and in dismayed
Won't you help me?
I'm losing hope in humanity
Blood has been spilled
Bodies pile up
From these never ending wars,
Time passes by
But for me, I'm frozen in time
Watching as the world goes by
And I slowly fade away
In sickness or in health
Till death do us part
We'll always have each other
But I'm frozen in time
As you move forward with your life
While I struggle to find my way out
Out of this hell hole,
Won't you rescue this fading soul
Or will you let me fade away forever
Until I'm nothing but bones,
Time passes by
But for me, I'm frozen in time.
While I struggle to find my way out
Out of this hell hole,
Won't you rescue this fading soul
Or will you let me fade away
Until I'm nothing but bones,
Time passes by
But for me, I'm frozen in time.
I’m No Screwup
As summer comes to an end
Autumn draws nearer and nearer
I wake up today with breath in my body
My heart beats it's beat in my chest,
And I lift my head towards the open blue sky
I cry out to God praising His name
Thanking Him for allowing me live another day
But I bow my head low
Knowing that I've screwed up and I'm filled with many flaws
He looked down and said to me 'My child, your sins have been forgiven
Take this hand of mine and I shall lift you above this abyss
Of despair and hopelessness.
I'll never forsake you or leave your side.
So have hope and don't fall into despair.'
As the days go by
From summer to fall
Fall to winter
Where the days grow colder and longer
And the earth is covered in white
I'll wake up each day
With breath in my body
And a beating heart
I've screwed up too many times to count
But I am not a failure or a mistake
I am a child of God and He calls me His own.
