Little Girl

I was looking for something that I could not define
I was wondering if there was someone that I could find
That would take the love I'd give unconditionally
And appreciate the heart she saw of mine

Then I took a leap of faith when a question came
Asking if there was a thing that I could name
That made what I was seeking more unusual
Then she came to me and said she felt the same

She captured my heart with the wink of an eye
And when she smiled at me I never felt so high
I know I'll never find in the whole wide world
A love so big as from my little girl

She is everything I need right from the start
And I know whatever happens that we'll never part
She showed me the way to see things differently
And filled the hole I had inside my heart

She is Daddy's little girl and she's the one for me
When I close my eyes her face is all that I can see
And she's making me the man that I was always meant to be

Deeper Into Black

I hear the voices running through my head
Telling me to not get out of bed
Saying nothing's gonna come of it
The pieces of my life don't fit
And I'll wish I had gone back to sleep instead

My life is broken in pieces
And some of them were lost on the way
I don't know what good my belief is
That anything is gonna be okay
Every step I try to take forward
Always ends up falling to steps back
And it don't matter if I turn on the light switch
Cause I'm slowly fading deeper into black

I have to pick myself up off the floor
But I can't seems to care anymore
It's so hard to get excited
When all my love is unrequited
And there's no use even walking out the door

Another day is slowly passing by
I've given up on trying to wonder why
I don't want to keep on living
Since my heart is unforgiving
Of how my life's turned out to be a lie

Band Of Brothers

We come together in the name of Jesus Christ

Our fearless leader who paid the greatest price

To save us from our sin

So let us now begin

To raise an army to make the devil think twice

 

We are a mighty band of brothers

We are the army of the Lord

And we will battle like no others

Until his kingdom is restored

Yes we will fight with all our courage

Going to war in Jesus' name

And no matter what Satan tries

We will have victory just the same

 

We'll raise our banner so all the world can see

How Jesus came to set all of us free

The greatest story ever heard

Is written in his word

So let's tell what he has done for you and me

 

On this rock I'll make my stand

With the Spirit here to hold my hand

And through his love I understand

Just what we're doing here

 

Melancholy Way

The children are playing in the park
Having the time of their lives
Meanwhile, I'm sitting in the dark
Trying to find the will to survive

I'd give the world to have those dreams again
The promise of a time soon to be
But how do I keep on dreaming when
The ones I had have all abandoned me

I'm in a melancholy way today
I can't escape the feeling
And I don't know what to say
To hold the spirits of the past at bay
And make the sadness go away

 

There isn't any use in pretending
That things are ever going to change
To some tasks I have to keep attending
And others that I must rearrange

I gotta find a new reason for living
And that reason needs to come from within
I guess it has to start with forgiving
Myself so that the healing can begin

 

Road To Recovery

I don't know if I'll find peace
On this road I travel on
Will I feel the sweet release
When my demons are all gone

Will I recognize myself
When I see what I'll become
Or will it be someone else
It doesn't matter
It could be anyone

On the road to recovery
I don't know where it's going
But it's where I want to be
And the greatest discovery
Will be when I see
What is waiting for me
When I've finally been set free

I thank God for my friends
Cause I can't do this alone
They give me love without end
That I don't feel on my own

I'm beginning to learn
To live one day at a time
By the grace I'll never earn
As long as I accept it
It will be forever mine

Oh, pretty good is good enough
There's no point in beating myself up
For not being perfect when nobody can
Yes it's gonna be a struggle
And I know that I'll fall down
But I'll be lifted up by helping hands

Losing Myself

I look at my face in the mirror

The image is starting to crack

Nothing seems to be getting clearer

No one seems to be looking back

I close my eyes in terror

And open them to see

That there is nothing left of me

 

I'm losing myself

And I don't know what for

I'm floating away

From what's kept me on the floor

I'm starting to fade

From the portrait of what my life looked like before

Tell me what will become of me

 

I stumble into the bedroom

To witness a scene bathed in red

My body lie there on the mattress

A fresh bullet hole in my head

How can this have happened

Why am I still here

When will the answers appear

 

Who would have done this

I don't understand

How someone could murder

Such a simple man

Can somebody tell me

Why is there a gun in my hand

 

You Are Loved

I know your heart is breaking

And there's nothing I can say

To give you any comfort

Or brighten up your day

The world has turned against you

And you lost the hope that you were dreaming of

 

You are loved, you are cherished

You're the one that we all adore

And this love will never perish

It will stay the same forevermore

There is nothing in the whole wide world

That can take this love away

And I promise this to you today

You are loved

 

I know we've had our differences

And we barely get along

But in spite of all our conflict

My love for you is strong

So I pray that in your sorrow

That peace descends upon you like a dove

 

You're a beacon to all

For the kindness you show

And the light in your eyes

Makes my heart start to glow

I'd give anything to see

That smile on your face once again
