WELCOME
TO
MY HEART
TIME WILL TELL
THE TIME HAS STOPPED, OR SO IT SEEMS
FOR WISHFUL HOPES, AND GIRLISH DREAMS.
THE WORLD I'VE FOUND DOESN'T PLAY FAIR,
THEY SEEM TO FORGET OR JUST DON'T CARE.
THAT LITTLE GIRLS DREAMS ARE EASILY BROKEN,
BY WORD OR DEED, IF CARELESSLY SPOKEN.
BUT NO-ONE RELIEZES, THAT LITTLE GIRL STAYS,
INSIDE OF US ALL, GUIDING OUR WAYS.
ALWAYS SEARCHING AND SEARCHING TRYING TO
FIND,
THE PERFECT HAPPYNESS BUILD UP BY OUR
MIND.
FROM CRADLE TO CRADLE ACROSS THIS CREAT LAND,
WE ARE TOLD OF PRINCE CHARMING AWAITING OUR
HAND.
SO IF DESTINEY SENDS A MAN TO OUR LIFE
WE BELIEVE WE'RE CINDERALLA, PRINCE CHARMINGS
WIFE.
EXCEPT OUR MOMS FORGOT TO MENTION ONE SMALL
FACT
THAT PRINCE CHARMING NOT PERFECT, INFACT
IT'S AN ACT.
WE HOLD ON TO OUR DREAMS AND STRUGGLE THROUGH
KNOWING AROUND THE CORNER, OUR SKYIES WILL
TURN BLUE.
SOMETIMES IT COMES TRUE, THOUGH RARELY IT
SEEMS
DOES A LITTLE GIRL FIND HER CHILDISH DREAMS.
I LOVE YOU BUT:
YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND
THE HURT I'VE HAD DUE TO YOUR HAND
I LOVE YOU BUT:
YOU DON'T SEEM TO REALISE
EACH TIME I FORGIVE A PART OF ME DIES
I LOVE YOU BUT:
YOU DON'T SEEM TO CHERISH OUR VOWS
ALL YOU CARE ABOUT ARE YOUR HERE AND NOWS
I LOVE YOU BUT:
YOU DON'T SEEM TO PROTECT MY HEART
EACH TIME WE TRY TO MAKE A NEW START
I LOVE YOU BUT:
YOU DON'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO GIVE
THE PART OF YOURSELF TO MAKE OUR LOVE LIVE
I LOVE YOU BUT:
YOU DON'T SEEM TO SEE ME SLIPPING AWAY
FROM THE PLACE IN YOUR HEART I WANTED TO
STAY
I LOVE YOU BUT:
YOU DON'T SEEM TO WANT TO SEE
YOUR KILLING THE LITTLE GIRL INSIDE OF ME
I LOVE YOU BUT:
I NEED TO SAVE HER SMILING FACE
HER DREAMS OF LOVE AND FLOWING LACE
HER HOPES OF HAPPILY EVER AFTER
HER MEMORIES OF SIMPLE GIRLISH LAUGHTER
I LOVE YOU BUT:
YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND
THE PAIN SHE'S HAD DUE TO YOUR HAND
POEMS
POEMS ARE A WAY TO SAY HOW WE FEEL
OUR INNER THOUGHTS THAT NO-ONE CAN STEAL
WHEN YOU WRITE A POEM, YOU KNOW IT BY HEART
FOR IN YOUR LIFE IT’S A VITAL PART
IT’S FROM MEMORIES THAT MOST POEMS ARE MADE
FROM A TIME IN YOUR LIFE, YOU WISH YOU HAD
STAYED
SOMETIMES FOR MOST OF US IT CAUSES GREAT
PAIN
BUT THROUGH OUR POEMS IT’S STRENGTH WE GAIN
IT’S OUR OPEN HEARTS THAT PEOPLE READ
IF THEY COULD ONLY SEE HOW MUCH THEY BLEED
BUT LIKE I SAID OUR POEMS ARE OUR WAY
TO COPE WITH LIFE FROM DAY TO DAY
SO WHEN YOU READ A POEM REMEMBER MINE
AND FEEL WITH YOUR HEART EVERY LINE
TRINKETS
BOXES OF MEMORIES PACKED AND STORED
TRINKETS OF OLD TIMES STILL ADORED
YEARS OF BABY CLOTHES FOLDED UP NEAT
THE FIRST PAIR OF SHOES HE WORE ON HIS FEET
THE CRIB AND THE WALKER FOR GENERATIONS TO
COME
WILL REMEMBER WITH LOVE WHERE THEY CAME FROM
IN ANOTHER TRUNK IS HIS NEW BORN CLOTHS
AND UNDER IT ALL YOUR VERY FIRST ROSE
THEN ONE DAY YOU GO THROUGH IT ALL
AND FIND IN THE CORNER HER FIRST BABY DOLL
WITH JOY IN YOUR HEART, AND A TEAR IN YOUR
EYE
TO THE MEMORIES ONCE AGAIN YOU SAY GOOD-BY
IS TO
TO HAVE A LOVE THAT WILL NEVER END
IS TO HAVE A HEART THAT WILL NEVER MEND
TO SEE HIS FACE WHERE EVER YOU TURN
IS TO MAKE MISTAKES FORM WHICH TO LEARN
TO HEAR HIS VOICE WHEN HE’S NOT THERE
IS TO KNOW NEVER AGAIN HIS LIFE TO SHARE
TO WRITE HIM LETTERS THAT WILL NEVER BE READ
IS TO CRY ALONE IN AN EMPTY BED
TO KNOW IT’S GOOD AND FOR THE BEST
IS TO FINALLY GIVE YOUR MIND A REST.
YOUR LIES
DO NOT CONFUSE ME WITH YOUR LIES
I KNOW NOW YOUR HEARTS TRUE SIZE
IT DOESN’T MEASURE TO THE LOVE I NEED
AND KNOW ALL ALONE MY HEART WILL BLEED
NO-ONE CAN SAY I DIDN’T STAY AND TRY
BUT IT DOES NO GOOD TO WONDER WHY
THE PROMISES YOU MADE GAVE ME HOPE
BUT WITH TRUE LOVE YOU COULDN’T COPE
THE TEARS I CRY AREN’T JUST FOR ME
THEY’RE FOR A LOVE YOU COULDN’T SEE
SO SAVE YOUR LIES FOR SOMEONE NEW
OUR CHAPTER IN THIS LIFE IS THROUGH
CHILD’S FIRST LOVE
IT’S ALL SO SIMPLE IT’S HARD TO SEE
WHAT OUR SPECIAL LOVE REALLY MEANT TO ME
I WAS A CHILD WHEN WE FIRST MEET
ABOUT LOVE AND LIFE I HADN’T LEARNED YET
YOU SWEEP ME AWAY TO A DIFFERENT LIFE
I DREAMT ONE DAY I’D BE YOUR WIFE
BUT ALL TO SOON YOU LEFT ME BEHIND
A REASON TO LIVE I HAD TO FIND
I CRIED FOR DAYS MY WORLD WAS GONE
NIGHTS WHERE SO LONG BEFORE THE DAWN
BUT LIKE THEY SAY ABOUT A BROKEN HEART
WITH TIME IT HEALS EXCEPT A SMALL PART
AS THE YEARS WENT BY THAT SMALL PART GREW
I HOPED ONE DAY YOU’D LOVE ME TOO
AND LIKE A FAIRY TALE YOU RETURNED ONE DAY
AND I MY ARMS I KNEW YOU’D STAY
I WON’T GO INTO WHAT WENT WRONG
I GUESS WE JUST HEARD A DIFFERENT SONG
BUT TO THIS DAY AFTER ALL THAT’S BEEN
MY HEARTS STILL HIS FOR NO MAN TO WIN.
SHADOWS
IN THE SHADOW OF MY LIFE
I SENSE A CHANGE A COMING
A DIFFERENCE IN MY BODY
A CALMNESS IN MY MIND
I’LL NOT BE WHAT PEOPLE CALL ME
EVEN THOUGH THEY’LL BELIEVE IT SO
A WOMEN OF THE NIGHT
A PASSER OF THE DAY
I CAN NOT BE AS MY MOTHER WAS
FOR DARKNESS IS NOT IN MY CORNER
A LOVER TO A STRANGER
A STRANGER TO HER DAUGHTER
EVEN THOUGH LIFE FOR ME MAY BE HARDER
I WILL NOT DESTROY MY ONLY DAUGHTER
A MOTHER OF GOOD JUDGMENT
A FRIEND OF GOOD TRUST
AND THIS I SWEAR TO YOU MY SWEET
UNTIL THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS YOU MEET
MIND VERSES HEART
SOMETIMES I FIND MYSELF STILL LOVING YOU
AT THAT TIME MY HATRED GROWS TOO
MY MIND TELLS ME YOU’LL NEVER CHANGE
MY ARMS STILL WANT YOU WITHIN RANGE
IT’S AT THESE TIMES I HATE US BOTH
FOR WE HAVE EACH BETRAYED OUR PROMISED OATH
I HOPE THAT I WILL FIND LOVE SOMEDAY
IF IT’S TRUE WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE’S
A WAY
BUT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE I’LL SEE YOUR
EYES
AND NO-ONE WILL KNOW THAT MINE STILL CRIES
WHY
I FEEL THAT MY HEART IS SLOWLY DYEING
NEVER TRUE LOVE WILL I FIND AGAIN
MY CHANCE HAS PAST, I LET IT SLIP BY
I WONDER WHY
I WAS LEFT WITH CHILD TO RAISE ALONE
WITHOUT ANY HELP I WILL SURVIVE
IT SHALL BE HAD BUT I’LL STRUGGLE BY
I WONDER WHY
OUR TROUBLES MANY OUR REWARD FEW
WE’LL LIVE ON THE BEST WE CAN
I BROUGHT IT ON US I SAID GOOD-BY
I WONDER WHY
SEEMS LIFE IS STRANGE IT’S FULL OF CHANCE
TAKE ONE ROAD IT LEADS TO ANOTHER
WHICH EVER YOU CHOOSE GOD WILL BE BY
I WONDER WHY.
HIDDEN SECRETS
IN THE CENTER OF MY HEART
THERE’S A SECRET HIDDEN PART
THAT NO ONE CAN SEE
THAT NO ONE CAN TOUCH
IT’S THERE FOR ONLY ME TO FEEL
I’M THE ONLY ONE TO KNOW IT’S REAL
A SHINING TINY TEAR
A MUFFLED TINY CRY
I CAN NEVER LET MY SECRET BE KNOWN
IT’S A BURDEN I MUST CARRY ALL ALONE
I LOVED HIM THEN
I LOVE HIM NOW
ISN’T IT SAD THE MESS I’VE MADE
THE LAYS OF GOD I SHOULD HAVE OBEYED
TO LOVE AND HONOR
TO DEATH DO US PART
I THOUGHT I WAS RIGHT TO LEAVE HIM BEHIND
BUT OUR KIND OF LOVE I’LL NEVER AGAIN FIND
IT COMES ONLY ONCE
IT STAYS ONLY SECONDS
SO WHAT EVER YOU DO FOLLOW YOUR HEART
AND NEVER FORM YOUR LOVE HAVE A SECRET HIDDEN
PART.
I WANT TO FORGET
WHAT WILL BECOME OF ME I DON’T KNOW
I JUST WISH THE MEMORIES WOULD GO
THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART CRIES AT NIGHT
MY MIND AND MY HEART CONSTANTLY FIGHT
AS THE MONTHS SLOWLY TURN TO YEARS
I HOPE THE PASSING TAKES AWAY THE TEARS
THE SONGS ON THE RADIO THEY SOMETIME PLAY
MAKE ME WANT TO RETURN TO YESTERDAY
I WANT TO FORGET THE LIFE WE SHARED
I WANT TO FORGET THAT I EVER CARED
I WANT TO SEE THE LIGHT UP AHEAD
I WANT TO SLEEP WHEN I GO TO BED
I DON’T WANT TO CRY WHEN I HERE OUR SONG
I DON’T WANT TO FEEL THAT I WAS WRONG
GROWING UP
YOU LOVED ME ONCE I KNOW YOU DID
THE PROBLEM WAS I WAS JUST A KID
WHEN I GREW UP I CHANGED INSIDE
THE FACT THAT I DID I COULDN’T HIDE
THAT SWEET LITTLE GIRL I USED TO BE
WILL NEVER AGAIN BE A PART OF ME
I WISH HER BACK BUT SHE WON’T COME
I GUESS WE ALL HAVE TO GROW UP SOME
INSTEAD OF GROWING TOGETHER WE SLOWLY GREW
APART
NOW ALL ALONE WE’LL MAKE A NEW START
WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL THAT COMES ONLY
ONCE
WHY DIDN’T WE TURN BACK THE YEARS THE MONTHS.
CRISSIE’S POEM
LOVE CAN BE HARD THE FIRST TIME OUT
THAT IT’S TRUE LOVE YOU MAY EVEN DOUBT
HE’LL BRAG ABOUT THE GIRLS HE’S HAD
NOT RELEASING IT’S MAKING YOU SAD
WHAT SEEMS TO MAKE IT WORSE OF ALL
IS WAITING BY THE PHONE FOR HIS CALL
YOU’LL WRITE HIM LETTERS YOU’LL NEVER SEND
CRY ON THE SHOULDER OF YOUR BEST FRIEND
YOU’LL LOVE HIM YET YOU’LL HATE HIM TOO
YOU’LL BE CONFUSED ABOUT HIS FEELINGS FOR
YOU
BUT WHEN HE’S FINALLY BY YOUR SIDE
YOU’LL FORGET THE NIGHTS ALONE YOU CRIED.
HOLIDAY LIGHTS
HOLIDAY LIGHTS THAT FLICKER AND GLOW
ARE A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT TO BESTOW
PACKAGES WITH RIBBONS UNDER THE TREE
SOME HIDDEN BACK SO THE CHILDREN WON’T SEE
THE STOCKING HANG READY TO BE FILLED
WITH EACH TOY THEY WILL BE THRILLED
THE CHILDREN ARE MUCH TO EXCITED TO SLEEP
YET FROM THEIR ROOMS YOU DON’T HERE A PEEP
THE COOKIES FOR SANTA THE CHILDREN WERE MAKING
WILL ALL BE GONE BY THE TIME THEY AWAKEN
THE PIES BEING MADE THE COOKIES ARE DONE
THIS TIME OF YEAR EVEN BAKING SEEMS FUN
THE GIGGLES, THE LAUGHS FROM CHRISTMAS’S
BEFORE
WAS ONLY A GLIMPSE OF WHAT’S IN STORE
YOU SEE CHRISTMAS WILL BE CELEBRATED DIFFERENT
THIS YEAR
FOR IN OUR HEARTS HIS GRACE WAS MADE CLEAR
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR ALL OF THIS FUSS
FOR HE WAS BORN ON THIS DAY
FOR YOU
&
FOR US
NEVER END
YOUR ON MY MIND WHEN I’M ALL ALONE
MY HAND SLOWLY REACHES FOR THE PHONE
TO HEAR THE WORDS FROM LONG AGO
AND THE HURT INSIDE “BECAUSE” ONLY I KNOW
THAT OUR KIND OF LOVE WILL NEVER END
NO MATTER HOW OUR HEARTS PRETEND
OUR LIVES WILL CARRY ON AS THEY ALWAYS DO
BUT YOU’LL THINK OF ME, AND ME OF YOU
WHERE LIKE A HEART THAT’S BEEN TORN IN HALF
WITHOUT THE OTHER THERE’S NO REASON TO LAUGH
BUT NO-ONE MUST KNOW THE PAIN WE SHARE
OR THAT FOR EACH OTHER WE WILL ALWAYS CARE
SO I DRAW MY HAND AWAY FROM THE PHONE
AND CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP, YET AGAIN ALL ALONE
LONELY HOLIDAY
A FEELING OF THE HOLIDAY IS IN THE AIR
I REMEMBER THE JOYS WE USED TO SHARE
THE HOLIDAYS BEFORE WHERE HARD TO TAKE
BUT WITH CHRISTMAS HERE, I’M AFRAID I’LL
BREAK
I LOOK AT THE LIGHTS I’VE PUT ON THE TREE
BUT THROUGH THE TEARS YOUR ALL I SEE
OUR SON DOESN’T NOTICE ANYTHING’S WRONG
IT’S BEEN A YEAR IT DOESN’T SEEM THAT LONG
WITH EACH PRESENT I WRAP I THINK OF YOU
I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE, AND WITH WHO
CHRISTMAS WON’T HAVE THE SAME MEANING THIS
YEAR
FOR OUR FAMILIES NOT WHOLE WITHOUT YOU HERE
BUT ON CHRISTMAS MORNING I’LL PUT ON A SMILE
AND I’LL HURT INSIDE FOR JUST A LITTLE WHILE
WITH TIME
AS I LAY HERE THINKING OF HIM TONIGHT
I REALIZE WHAT THEY SAY MAY BE RIGHT
WITH TIME THE MEMORIES SEEM TO FADE AWAY
THOUGH I KNOW YOU THINK THEY’LL ALWAYS STAY
BUT ONE DAY WHILE YOUR THINKING OF HIM
THE MEMORY YOU HAVE WILL SEEM SO DEEM
OH, THEY’LL BE TIMES WHEN YOU’LL STILL CRY
AND YOU’LL ALWAYS HEAR THAT WHISPERED WHY
AND AS THE YEARS GO BY YOU WON’T REALLY FORGET
AND THAT YOU STILL CRY YOU WON’T EVEN ADMIT
YOU SEE HE’LL ALWAYS BE A PART OF YOU
YOU’LL ALWAYS BE A PART OF HIM TOO
THE UPS AND DOWNS IN LIFE YOU SHARED
WILL ALWAYS BE MEMORIES OF THE TIME YOU CARED
JUST REMEMBER, THE MEMORIES DON’T REALLY
FADE AWAY
THEY JUST DON’T HURT AS MUCH FROM DAY TO
DAY.
CHILD AGAIN
TO BE A CHILD AGAIN, FREE ONCE MORE
ENJOYING THE SMALL THINGS I DID BEFORE
TO KNOW NOT OF LOVE OR HURT OR PAIN
ENJOYING THE SMELL OF NEW FALLEN RAIN
TO HAVE NOT A MEMORY ON WHICH TO CRY
OF THE BROKEN LOVE BETWEEN YOU AND I
TO FALL IN LOVE WITH OUT THE FEAR
THAT ALL WILL END IN A SILENT TEAR
TO LEARN EACH DAY OF SOMETHING NEW
NOT YET ANY WORRY OF WHO’S DATING WHO
TO HAVE LIFE SO SIMPLE, NO WORRIES IN SIGHT
WHILE LEARNING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WRONG
AND RIGHT
TO BE A CHILD AGAIN FREE TO RUN
I CAN NEVER GO BACK FOR NOW I HAVE A SON.
I CRY
WHEN I WAKE UP SCARED I REACH FOR YOU
WHEN I REMEMBER YOUR GONE
I CRY
WHEN I SEE YOUR PICTURE I LONG FOR YOU
WHEN I REMEMBER OUR LOVE
I CRY
WHEN I HEAR OUR SONG, I CALL YOUR MANE
WHEN I REMEMBER YOUR WORDS
I CRY
WHEN I GO SOMEWHERE SPECIAL I THINK OF YOU
WHEN I REMEMBER YOU TOUCH
I CRY
WHEN I’M ALONE AT NIGHT I NEED YOUR ARMS
WHEN I REMEMBER YOUR GONE
HE WILL ANSWER
THERE COMES A TIME IN EVERY PERSON’S LIFE
WHITHER A BABY, A CHILD, A HUSBAND, OR WIFE
WHEN A DAY SEEMS SO HARD TO STRUGGLE BY
YOUR FLUSTERED, CONFUSED AND YOU WANT TO
CRY
THAT’S WHEN WE REACH A POINT ON WHICH TO
GROW
WHY IT HAPPENS THIS WAY, WE’LL NEVER REALLY
KNOW
I BELIEVE IT’S GOD WHO PUTS BLOCKS IN OUR
WAY
SO WE’LL TURN TO HIS WORD AS WE SHOULD EVERYDAY
SO NEXT TIME YOU FEEL YOUR AGAINST A WALL
REMEMBER ON WHO’S WISDOM YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL
AND DON’T BE SURPRISED WHEN HE ANSWERS YOUR
PRAYER
FOR HE’S THE GOD WHO’S PROMISED TO ALWAYS
BE THERE.
FATHER
YOUR BODY LIE BENEATH THIS COVERED GROUND
NEVER TO WHISPER OR UTTER A SOUND
IT IS JUST TO YOUR BODY THAT WE SAY GOOD-BY
YOUR MEMORY IS THE CAUSE OF THE TEARS WE
CRY
OUR GRIEF WE WILL BEAR OUR SORROW WE WILL
SHED
FOR WE KNOW IT WAS TO HEAVEN YOU WERE LEAD
AT LEAST WE KNOW YOU HAVE NO PAIN NOW
AND GOD SHALL LESSEN OUR GRIEF SOMEHOW
YOU HAVE LEFT US WITH MEMORIES OF HAPPY TIMES
AND YOU WHERE ALWAYS THERE WHEN I USED MY
DIMES
I SOMETIMES FORGET THAT YOUR ACTUALLY GONE
I EXPECT TO WAKE UP AND SEE YOU AT DAWN
THEN I REMEMBER AND THE EMPTINESS RETURNS
I GUESS LIVING WITH DEATH IS SOMETHING ONE
LEARNS
BUT YOU’LL NEVER REALLY BE GONE TO ME
FOR I KNOW IT’S BY MY SIDE YOU’LL ALWAYS
BE.
LITTLE GIRLS HEARTS
TO A MAN WHO ALWAYS NEW HIS LITTLE GIRLS
HEARTS
TO A MAN THAT COULD STOP TROUBLE BEFORE IT
COULD START
THIS POEM IS TO YOU OUR FATHER OUR FRIEND
A MAN WHO WAS LOVED FROM BEGINNING TO END
WE KNOW YOU ARE GONE BUT ALWAYS YOU’LL REMAIN
FOR EVEN THE WIND SEEMS TO WHISPER YOUR NAME
WHEN WE NEEDED YOU, YOU ALWAYS KNEW SOMEHOW
WE KNOW YOUR BY OUR SIDES EVEN KNOW
IT DOESN’T FEEL THE EMPTINESS LEFT IN OUR
LIFE’S
OR LESSEN THE PAIN OF YOUR MORNING WIFE
WE SHALL CARRY ON WITH OUR HOPES OUR DREAMS
EVEN THOUGH OUR HEARTS WILL TEAR AT THE SEAMS
WE’LL THINK OF YOU AS THE YEARS GO BY
I SUPPOSE EVEN WITH TIME WE’LL STILL CRY
BUT THE PAIN SHALL LESSEN IN YOUR LITTLE
GIRLS HEARTS
AND WE’LL ONLY REMEMBER THE VERY SPECIAL
PARTS.
GOD’S PROMISE
GOD PROMISES US EACH A VALLEY OF GOLD
WHERE NEVER AGAIN SHALL OUR BODIES BE COLD
HE SENT HIS SON TO LEAD THE WAY
TO THE PLACE WHERE OUR SOULS CAN REST SOMEDAY
IT’S A PLACE WHERE NO ONE SHALL SHED A TEAR
IT’S A PLACE WHERE NO-ONE KNOWS OF FEAR
IT’S A PLACE WHERE DARKNESS NEVER FALLS
IT’S A PLACE WHERE SATIN NEVER CALLS
GOD KNOWS EACH LIFE FROM BEGINNING TO END
AND THROUGH IT ALL HE STAYS OUR FRIEND
IF IT SEEMS AT TIMES HE’S FORGOTTEN YOU
THE PRAYERS YOU PRAY DON’T SEEM TO GET THROUGH
REMEMBER THE PROMISES OF STREETS OF GOLD
REMEMBER THE CLOTH IN WHICH JESUS WAS ROLLED
FOR THROUGH HIS SON GOD ANSWERS EACH PRAYER
AND HIS ANSWERS WILL ALWAYS BE JUST AND FAIR.
GOD’S WILL
HE ENTERED THIS EARTH WITH A JOB TO DO
TO SAVE FROM SIN BOTH ME AND YOU
SO YOUNG TO HAVE THIS BURDEN TO HOLD
YET HE KNEW GODS STORY MUST BE TOLD
ACROSS THE NATIONS GOD’S WISDOM WAS SPREAD
AND TO HIS SIDE IS WHERE MILLIONS WHERE LEAD
IF IN HIS PATH YOUR SHADOW LAY
HIS GENTLE SMILE COULD HEAL YOUR PAIN
BUT JESUS KNEW GOD’S WILL MUST BE DONE
BY HIM THE SAVIOR GOD’S ONLY SON
IT SADDENED HIM WHEN THE END FINALLY CAME
FOR NOT EVERY MAN BELIEVED ON HIS NAME
IF THEY ONLY KNEW THE PROPHESY THEY FILLED
FOR IT WAS ALREADY WRITTEN THAT JESUS BE
KILLED
TO SAVE FORM SIN BOTH ME AND YOU
HE ENTERED THIS EARTH WITH A JOB TO DO.
MY ONLY TERRY
I REMEMBER SEEING YOU LYING THERE
TO TRY TO SPEAK I DIDN’T DARE
ENTWINED IN YOUR ARMS SHE LIE THERE TOO
THAT I WAS THERE DIDN’T MATTER TO YOU
I STOOD THERE WATCHING UNABLE TO LEAVE
THAT IT WAS HAPPENING I COULDN’T BELIEVE
THE DARKNESS SEEMED TO ENCLOSE MY MIND
A WAY OUT OF THE ROOM I HAD TO FIND
I TOOK ONE LAST LOOK BEFORE I FLED
I NEVER HEARD THE WORDS YOU SAID
HOURS OF WALKING THE STREETS OF TOWN
DAYS BEFORE I WORE THE SMILE OF A CLOWN
YEARS OF PRETENDING AND PLAYING THE ROLE
NO ONE KNOWING YOU’D DESTROYED MY SOUL
FRIENDS SAID THE HURT WOULD SOMEDAY HEAL
I KNEW IT WOULDN’T THE PAIN WAS TO REAL
NEVER WOULD YOU AND I TOGETHER BELONG
YET I KNEW IN MY HEART THAT WAS WRONG
A SPECIAL LOVE FOR YOU I WOULD ALWAYS CARRY
MY FIRST, MY LAST, MY ONLY TERRY
WHAT’S FAIR
IT’S BEEN 9 MONTHS SENSE YOU PASSED AWAY
I RELIES THE PAIN IS HERE TO STAY
I’M FINE SOMETIMES FOR WEEKS ON END
BUT I GUESS MY PAIN SHALL NEVER MEND
WHEN I SEE SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE MY DAD
I REMEMBER YOUR GONE AND AGAIN I FEEL SAD
OR I’LL HEAR YOUR VOICE AND SPIN AROUND
HOPING FROM YOUR BODY CAME THAT LOVELY SOUND
I SEE DAUGHTERS WITH FATHERS WALKING BY
AND I WONDER WHY GOD CHOOSE YOU TO DIE
DID HE KNOW THE PAIN I’D FEEL
THAT 9 MONTHS LATER I’D MISS YOU STILL
THE KIND OF LOVE THAT A FATHER CAN GIVE
IS WHAT I’LL MISS NOW AS LONG AS I LIVE
IT’S NOT FAIR THAT GOD TOOK YOU AWAY
WHEN OTHER GIRLS FATHERS GOT TO STAY.
I WONDER WHY
I WONDER WHY WE LAUGH AND CRY
I WONDER WHY THE BIRDS CAN FLY
I WONDER WHEN WE’RE GOING TO DIE
I WONDER WHO KNOWS ALL THESE THINGS
A TEACHER, A PREACHER, OR MAYBE A CREATURE
NOT NONE OF THESE THINGS CAN THEY TELL
BUT THE SON OF GOD TO WHOM WE SHOULD KNEEL.
NEVER EMPTY AGAIN
SHE CRIES FOR SHE KNOWS SOMETHING’S WRONG,
SOMETHING’S
MISSING
THEN SHE SITS AND LISTENS:
TO THE BIRDS SO PEACEFULLY SINGING
TO THE SKY SO BLUE AND CLEAR
TO THE RIVER SO QUICKLY RUSHING
TO THE LEAFS BLOWING THROUGH THE TREES
AND SHE SEEMS TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD
TELLING HER TO HAVE PEACE IN HER SOUL
AND SHE REALIZES HE’S WHAT’S MISSING
HIM THE MAIN SOURCE OF LIFE
AND SHE KNOWS NOW SHE’LL NEVER BE EMPTY AGAIN.
BELIEVE IT MY FRIEND
THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END
PLEASE BELIEVE IT MY DEAR FRIEND
I DON’T THINK THE GOOD BOOK WOULD LIE
BELIEVE IT MY FRIEND THE EARTH WILL DIE
THE ANGELS WILL COME AND TAKE US AWAY
BUT LEAVE THE BAD SHEEP THAT WENT ASTRAY
I PRAY AT NIGHT FOR THE DAY TO ARRIVE
THEN I CRY FOR THOSE THAT WON’T SURVIVE
YOU PEOPLE THAT WON’T SEE THAT HE IN NEAR
WILL CRY AND WEEP WHEN HE GETS HERE
FOR HE WILL TURN AND LOOK ASIDE
FOR WHY SHOULD HE TAKE YOU, WHEN YOUR DENIED.
THE END
THE WORLD IS NOT A PLACE OF LOVE
THE ONLY REAL LOVE IS UP ABOVE
SEEMS TO ME A LOT OF PEOPLE GET HURT
THEY EVEN TREAT THEIR FRIENDS LIKE DIRT
OH, IT’S NOT AS BAD AS IT WILL BE SOON
JUST WAIT TILL THE DAY THERE’S BLOOD ON THE
MOON
BIG FLYING BIRDS WITH BLOOD IN THEIR EYES
WILL KILL THE PEOPLE WHILE STILL IN THE SKIES
THE EARTH WILL CRACK AND MAN WILL FALL IN
BUT ONLY THOSE WHO ARE STILL IN SIN
THE CONDEMNED WILL LOOK UP AND CALL OUT HIS
NAME
BUT IT WILL BE TO LATE, THEY’LL BE IN THE
FLAME
WITH A TEAR IN HIS EYE, GOD WILL LOOK NO
MORE
FOR IT IS HIS HEART, THAT MAN HAS SURLY TORE.
MY SON
MY SON IS MY ONLY SHINING RAY OF HOPE
HE’S THE MAIN REASON WITH LIFE I COPE
HE’S A BUBBLING, BUSTING LITTLE BOY
WHO WANTS TO BUT EVERY SINGLE TOY
SO FULL OF ENERGY I CAN HARDLY KEEP UP
WHILE HE WALKS DOWN THE STREET WITH HIS PUP
HE’S NOW AT THE AGE, WHERE EVERYTHING’S WHY
WHEN HE SEES MY TEARS HE SAYS “ DON’T CRY”
WITH EVERY NEW WOOD HE LEARNS TO SAY
I RELIES MY BABIES GROWING UP EVERYDAY
IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE HE’S ALMOST TWO
IT SEEMS TO ME TIME JUST FLEW
BUT IN 5 DAYS, HE’LL BE EXACTLY THAT AGE
IN THE CALENDAR OF LIKE WE’LL TURN A PAGE
AND NEXT YEAR WHEN HE REACHES THREE
I HOPE HE’S STILL SMALL ENOUGH TO SIT ON
MY KNEE.
THERE IS
THERE IS TIMES YOU COME INTO MY MIND
THERE IS TEARS FOR THE LOVE WE COULDN’T FIND
THERE IS ACING FOR THE ARMS THAT USED TO
HOLD ME
THERE IS LONELY NIGHTS THAT NO ONES EYES
CAN SEE
THERE IS LONGING FOR THE TIMES WE USED TO
SHARE
THERE IS SMILES FOR A LOVE SO RARE
THERE IS PAIN KNOWING WE CAN NEVER LOVE AGAIN
THERE IS SORROW BECAUSE NEITHER OF US CAN
WIN
THERE IS ANGER BECAUSE OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN
SO CRUEL
THERE IS CONFUSION NOT KNOWING WHO WAS THE
FOOL
THERE IS MEMORIES OF A LOVE THAT COMES ONLY
ONCE IN LIFE
THERE IS NO REMORSE THAT I WAS ONCE YOUR
WIFE
THERE IS A LESSON TO BE LEARNED FROM MY MARRIAGE
TO YOU
THERE IS HOPE THAT YOU HAVE LEARNED THIS
LESSON TOO.
GOD KNEW
MY FATHER WAS IN PAIN AND GOD SEEMED TO KNOW
THAT NOW WAS THE TIME FOR MY DADDY TO GO
HE ENTERED THE ROOM WITH GLORY AND LOVE
AND GUIDED MY DADDY TO HIS HOME UP ABOVE
I’LL NEVER FORGET THE EMPTINESS I HAD
WHEN THEY TOLD ME OF THE DEATH OF MY DAD
AND I’M SURE THAT MY DADDY SAW US WEEP
THAT NIGHT WHEN WE LAID DOWN OUR HEADS TO
SLEEP
WE HAD ONE LAST CHANCE TO TELL HIM GOODBYE
ON LAST I LOVE YOU BEFORE HE WOULD DIE.
MY LOVER LIES
THERE WAS A TIME NOT LONG AGO
WHEN LONELY NIGHTS WHERE OFTEN
WHERE EVERY STAR BROUGHT ON A TEAR
FOR LOVE NOT LONG FORGOTTEN
I SEEM TO HOLD TO NOTHING REAL
LIKE SAND UPON THE BEACH
THROUGH MY FINGERS ALL WOULD FALL
FOREVER OUT OF REACH
BUT ALAS MY EYES ARE DRY ONCE MORE
ALL SORROWS FADED WAY
FOR IN MY ARMS MY LOVER LIES
AND THERE I KNOW HE’LL SAY.
