Bridges

If I needed someone in my life
To guide me through this stupid fight
I know there’s so much more than fear and pain inside of me.
I’m walking blind and cannot see
Where is the person that I used to love and be
All I want to do, all I want to do is breathe
So breathe it in, breathe it out, no one can stop me now
You never know if you don't try, I just want to live my life
I make mistakes but that's okay, I’ll try a different day
Apologize to those, whom I have led astray.
So bring these bridges down
I don’t want to fail, the second time around
In these years that pass me by
I don’t want to waste a moment, another moment of my life
I don't want to miss a day.
Ever since I knew that you were true
I only gave attention depending on my mood
I didn’t get the clue, of what I was supposed to do.
The tragedy is what’s lost inside of me
How could I know I threw all my hopes and dreams
Away from it all, and it’s my fault
I’m ready to love! I’m ready for it all, so
So bring these bridges down
I don’t want to fail, the second time around
In these years that pass me by
I don’t want to waste a moment, another moment of my life
I don’t want to miss a day.

What Could I Do
03:57
|
|||
I met a girl, she's a small town baby with leather tan boots and long brown hair.
I caught her eye and she called me crazy, but then we came around and got our feet off the ground.
And then I felt so unsound deep down, judging by the sound I think I hit the ground.
I think it's time to take a step—fall back and figure out all the things I lack.
So maybe I will sit down, write it out, I don't want to tell that to you.
I need to find out who I am, God knows if you'll understand, what could I do? What can I do?
I wore a mask while you were around, I had to do it or you'd see the real me. You had the kindest heart, the purest soul—you're beautiful—but what you couldn't find was my war on the inside.
I never thought that all of this time that I would choose not to lie.
And I know in my heart and all of my mind that I would say it if I try.

Turbulence In Transit
04:47
|
|||
Last night I saw the side of you, you chose to hide
Inside you know, inside you know it’s hard.
When you’re caught up inside, a pretty little lie
The road ahead, it makes you feel so far.
And you Dream, for a better life, a better life
And you Dream, to find a way to get back home
And you try, to find someone to understand
That when the world says you’ll never make it, you gotta show them that you can.
And I’m learning, how to work for better but she’s
Nothing, of anything I thought she was
I can’t see why but can see how we have turbulence in transit now,
But we won’t fall to the ground, no we’ll come around, we’ll come around
I’ve been flying sky high since the moment I found you
I liked what I saw but I saw what I want to
But you know, now you know the truth, about me
But you’re a sidekick girl, living in a sideshow world
You look the roll but just can’t play the part.
And you Dream, for a better life, a better life
And you Dream, to find a way to get back home
And you try, to find someone to understand
That everything you ever wanted, you already hold it in your hands.
Yeah you can’t see love no you can’t see love if you don’t hold it in your hands
And you can’t peace no in all the least, if you never stop your running
And you want to be something but you don’t know nothing, but you know you need a change
Come back to me, back to me! Come back to me, back to me.

Dear Abby
03:03
|
|||
I’ve fallen short of what I think I should be
Screwed up to the highest degree.
Yeah what I used to be, no that isn’t me. No
No throwing stones, I messed it up on my own
If you see me struggle then my cover is blown
I know I’m not alone, but there’s no excuse for that.
And it’s not the first time and it will not be the last
But I’m willing to fight, and stand up for my past
I’ll lay my life down and I’ll give it to you
Cause you’re the strength I need to get me through, all these
Battles I choose, win or lose, or run.
But I, won’t run I want to see this one through
And we both know it’s the hard thing to do
But you’ve captured my heart, and I can’t explain that.
And it’s not the first time and it will not be the last
But I’m willing to fight, and stand up for my past
Dear Abby won’t you read my mind and say just what I need
They say your heart can change your mind based off of what you read.
Letting go was a hard thing to do
but I want to reach out I want to review
the mistakes that I’ve made, and I can’t explain that.

Bumble Bee

You breathed my first breath into me
Through the ICU window, my dad on his knees,
The doctors they told her, if only I were older,
But apparently you disagreed,
Apparently you disagreed.
I saw her the girl of my dreams
My hands they were shaking, I went down on my knees,
The beauty she told me, she’d have and to hold me,
But apparently you disagreed,
Apparently you disagreed.
My Jesus he came to see me
I was bed-ridden dying, pathetically crying,
I told him I’m chokin’, bent up and broken,
You haven’t done a single thing for me,
You haven’t done a single thing for me.
He said ‘I love you more than you’ll ever know,
I raise you up and watch as you grow,
I gave my life so that you’ll have your own,
But apparently you disagree,
Apparently you disagree.
His words like a bomb inside my head,
Echoed in my ears drowning out what I’d said,
I said, ‘Father forgive me, I want you here with me,
I’m now alive when I was once dead,
I am alive when I was once dead.

The Angles from above yeah they praise you, they praise you
You rule from high above and you made new, you made new
God you've come for us.
You walked the earth Oh God and he raised you, he raised you
You're great and mighty love, God it came through, you came through
You've come for us.
And all the Earth will know
(All the Earth will sing your praise, all the earth will know your name.)
The great love you've shown
(All the Earth will sing your praise, all the earth will know your name.)
Invade our lives oh God, fill our hearts with desire
Joy will fill our lungs as we lift your name higher
You've come for us, sent your son for us.
God you are one, you are
Father sprit son, you are
One, you are one, and your
Love will cary on forever!
All the Earth will sing your praise,
All the Earth will know your name,
It's Jesus, Jesus
