Keeping on, flying high, butterfly
No more fears, healing tears, time goes by
in the brief breath of life you are now
You are carried along and away
on the seeds, drifting sands, waters flow
Keeping on, don’t look back now be free
Ticking clock echoes time but we see
your sweet smile ease us through our trial
We will hear you in the laughter
You are carried along and away
with the bloom, on the wind’s gentle blow
Keeping on, don’t look back now be free
Ticking clock echoes time but we see
your sweet smile ease us through our trial
We’ll keep on keeping on now you’re gone
Keeping strong, moving on now you’re gone
in the midst of sweet life you are now
So what was wrong with your today
That stopped you facing your tomorrow
I’m left to face this lonesome day
All the colour has drained from my world
There’re things I'd like to say to you
Outside the snow is slowly falling
I watch it tumble to the ground
And in the flicker of a moment
I see a bright light coming down
Those pretty angels fall, can you hear my call
Let’s take it back to where we were
and hear the laughter in the room
Your footsteps echo memories in my mind
I couldn't place you any higher
The day you left will stay with me forever
I understand you couldn’t stay
Regrets just linger in the air
I’m left to face this lonesome day
I’ve got to push my life beyond your shadow
And use your shining light to guide me on the way
I can’t change the past, there’s only moving on
Outside the snow is slowly falling
I watch it tumble to the ground
And in the flicker of a moment
I see a bright light coming down
Those pretty angels fall, can you hear my call
You got wings and things that don't seem right
Making scenes and things that just ain't right
Take the shield to field the rebound strike
Kicking back, attack the man-on fight
You're gonna take one for the team
That just ain't what i mean to happen
I just can't find no way of stopping
this from going down, down, down
Said you’d try to survive, stay alive
Anything to win, don’t see no strive
Took a bite of life before the dive
Guess you want to take the flight
And then you take one for the team
That just ain't what i mean to happen
I just can't find no way of stopping
this from going down, down, down
Don't play the game if you don't know the rules
Second place don't get no prize. That ain't so cool
You should have opened up the game plan
The whistle's final. Go on then buzz off man
Done with praying what i'm saying
That way out it don't seem right
Sacrifice the price that just ain't right
And so you took one for the team
That just ain't what i mean to happen
I just can't find no way of stopping
this from going down, down, down
On the way to the grocery store
Just needed to get milk and bread that's all
I wanted to check for life inside
I wanted to see if you were home
There wasn't a note to say where you had gone so
I figured you wanted to be alone
This breath of life closing in on me
Call me selfish but I want more
Just need some time to see your sweet smile that's all
A ticking clock echoes time gone by
The butterflies out on the breeze
The sands of time they drift on and on
They never seem to wait for me
So where in the midst of sweet life are you now
Your children are starting to grow old.
The summer has come and here we are again but
You’re moving it on or so I'm told
I'll get up for work and close the door
Just need to keep it real for a while that's all
These tears that I'm crying are a waste of time
There's nothing to be done in sitting round.
I'll keep on keeping on for as long as I can
Flying up high with my feet on the ground
This breath of life closing in on me
Call me selfish but I want more
Just need some time to see your sweet smile that's all
A ticking clock echoes time gone by
The butterflies out on the breeze
The sands of time they drift on and on
They never seem to wait for me
Crashing Down To Zero
So don't you think we're worth it
Nothing is ever that perfect
You said that you just can't stay
Nothing I can say to change your mind
You only want to keep it sweet
Save us slipping to a hopeless fate
Think about what you’re saying
Can’t stop your body straying
We always made the best team
And boy you know just what I mean
And now you want to break it
Throw it back at the one who made it
Go on then take it take one for the team
Go on then break it break it up with me
World's gonna come crashing down
World's gonna come crashing down to zero
So that's it then, you're leaving
Steal away and you’re thieving
from my heart, in shattered pieces
I'm feeling mixed emotions
Can't find a reason to fight for it
Gotta fly and say goodbye to this
Well, go take your wings and shove them
Do I give, baby it's a crying shame
I guess I'll understand in time your reasons
Right now there's nothing that makes any sense
Give me something I can cling to
Do you really think that you're a hero
We always made the best team
And boy you know just what I mean
And now you want to break it
Throw it back at the one who made it
Go on then take it take one for the team
Go on then break it break it up with me
World's gonna come crashing down
World's gonna come crashing down to zero
Goodwill towards all man (Take my hand)
Can you hear the bells are ringing
Christmas in the air tonight
Can you hear the bells are singing
Singing out goodwill towards all man
And can you hear the desperate crying
Crying in the air tonight
People beg with hopeful hearts and
Singing out all across the land
I'm reaching out my arms to you
I'm holding out my life to you
Take my pride and dry my tears
Don’t want that ringing in my ears
Take my hand, take my hand
Singing out good will towards all man
All I have is all I am
Please take my, please take my hand
Can’t go home, a battle’s raging
Nothing there that's left for me
Hit the road to keep from dying
Leading to what waits for me
All the children cold and hungry
Crying in the air tonight
A shattered future all around them
Never knowing what’s next to come
I'm reaching out my arms to you
I'm holding out my life to you
Take my pride and dry my tears
Don’t want that ringing in my ears
Take my hand, take my hand
Singing out good will towards all man
All I have is all I am
Please take my, please take my hand
Take my child and give him warmth and peace inside
Take my tears together we'll stand side by side
Pray for peace and ring those Christmas bells tonight
Pray for peace and sing it out tonight
I'm reaching out my arms to you
I'm holding out my life to you
Take my pride and dry my tears
Don’t want that ringing in my ears
Take my hand, take my hand
Singing out good will towards all man
All I have is all I am
Please take my, please take my hand
Lazy Boy, Lazy Girl
Lazy boy lazy girl sitting on the sofa
Move your butt and get yourself to school
Lazy boy lazy girl sitting on the sofa
Move your butt and go and see the world
You should put your brain to some use
Don’t act like life’s just one big joke
You say you got no energy
A robot future is all you see
Wake up, wake up, you lazy kids
Take your chance and grab it by the balls
If you just watch life passing by
Your battery life is sure to die
Lazy boy lazy girl sitting on the sofa
Got your head stuck to your iphone
Lazy boy lazy girl sitting on the sofa
Shift a gear you’re looking like a clone
Soak it up, let your brain take the strain from breathing
Change your thinking and you can have it all
Got to pay your way so you can have your day
Make it happen, listen to what I say.
You should put your brain to some use
Don’t act like life’s just one big joke
You say you got no energy
A robot future is all you see
Wake up, wake up, you lazy kids
Take your chance and grab it by the balls
If you just watch life passing by
Your battery life is sure to die
Lazy boy lazy boy you're such a silly lazy boy
Lazy girl lazy girl you're such a silly lazy girl
Break-Ups Happen All The Time
Who knows the secrets that you hold
As life unfolds, what story will be told
May you act in thoughts and deeds of kindness
Giving faith where hope has failed to seed
Reach for dreams and find a love that’s true
For troubled moments, strength to see them through
For peace within and shelter I shall pray
An air sublime about you all the way
All I wish for you are endless summer days
Never let your dreams drift distant in the haze
Embrace this life and let your spirit grow
on wisdoms road wherever it may go
So flight you now upon your journeys way
Never let your inner truth to stray
Live the life that makes your heart’s content
and fill you full to brim your hours spent
All I wish for you are endless summer days
Never let your dreams drift distant in the haze
Embrace this life and let your spirit grow
on wisdoms road wherever it may go
So flight you now upon your journeys way
Never let your inner truth to stray
Live the life that makes your heart’s content
and fill you full to brim your hours spent
Thougtless Days
Just a moment to be with me
A time I shall treasure forever
How can I regret or ever forget
The love that we shared so dear
Now that you’re gone from my life
all I want you to know is
whilst time heals the burning pain
in my life you will always remain
You said goodbye with no relent
A worthless decade lost in time
I bear the scars of bullets spent
You found me guilty of the crime
Those thoughtless days I’ve laid to rest
I have moved to pastures new
And all the anger I expressed
Calmer waters now run through
My share of blame I can’t deny
Though blame’s a word that’s so misused
‘Takes two to Tango’, can’t you see
How could you get it so confused
The artist in you paints the scene
Always the victim in your mind
You reduced the love I gladly gave
to it simply being kind
There’s a cost to pay for giving love so freely
I’ve paid my dues and learned a thing or two
There’s strength to gain from looking in the mirror
I hope the future brings what’s really true
You said goodbye with no relent
A worthless decade lost in time
I bear the scars of bullets spent
You found me guilty of the crime
Those thoughtless days I’ve laid to rest
I have moved to pastures new
And all the anger I expressed
Calmer waters now run through
I'm on the bus and I think of us
On that sunny summers day last year in June
We said goodbye and you made me cry
Said I wasn't all you wanted me to be
What can I do when I think of you
And think of what you said to me
That our love was lost, not meant to be
How can you love me, then just let it die
How can you love me it's all been just a lie.
How can you love me, break my heart in two
How can you leave me, I'm still in love with you
Please ease my pain and love me again.
You're a million miles away from me my love
A simple smile to hold me a while
Just to feel your love, it's tearing me apart
How can you love me, then just let it die
How can you love me it's all been just a lie
How can you love me, break my heart in two
How can you leave me, I'm still in love with you
All the time we had and then it came too soon
Never thought I'd miss you as much as I do
Let me know you care and I'll be satisfied
There's an empty space without you by my side
Pretty rose, spreads her wings, and she grows
As she sings, what story will unfold
At her start with hope in heart
Open eyes wide, oh pretty rose
Chasing dreams that don't say never
Sets her spirit free to journey
With a faith to reach her final goal
With a love so warm and tender
Leap of faith 'cause she remembers
She lets it out with all her heart and soul
Shouts out loud 'let's go, let's rock and roll!'
Living for those endless summer days
Live for today 'n' all that lies in
Soak up the sun in endless summer days
So it goes, takes it in and now she knows
As she sings, what life can hold
How it flows, with all she's got
Still hope in heart, along the road
Pretty rose, how she has grown
So it goes, singing loud on wisdom’s road
Straight from the heart, oh pretty rose
Embrace the dreams that keep your heart beating
Feel free to let your inner spirit lose control
Keep it real and life will come together
Fill it full to brim in oh so many ways
With a love so warm and tender
Leap of faith 'cause she remembers
And she lets it out with all her heart and soul
Shouts out loud 'let's go, let's rock and roll!'
Living for those endless summer days
Live for today 'n' all that lies in
Soak up the sun in endless summer days

Pay My Debt To Jesus
Charlie wants the latest iphone
Sister wants designer clothes
Don't know how I’m gonna tell them
Those bills are piling high
Didn’t see the wise men coming
Tinsel sharks they prey on me
Soon we’ll hear the sleigh bells ringing
Saint Nick can’t tell me why
Need to face my reality
Toughen my heart so my head can breathe
It's not about giving , I've got to keep living
The festive feeling’s hypnotising me
Here’s to another make-do Christmas
With plastic smiles that hide the tears
I’ve got to pay my debt to Jesus and make it right for them I swear
I’ve got to pay my debt to Jesus and make it right for them I swear
Ads we see on television
Let the fat cats sing their song
Dressed to the nines in sugar coats
and we all sing along
Caught up in the sparkling season
I kid myself I still believe
It's a trap when the bait is down
Let’s take this show to town
I should swallow all my foolish pride
And cast away this fake disguise
But oh dear God it's so worth it for
a jam packed sack of promised lies
Need to face my reality
Toughen my heart so my head can breathe
It's not about giving , I've got to keep living
The festive feeling’s hypnotising me
Here’s to another make-do Christmas
With plastic smiles that hide the tears
I’ve got to pay my debt to Jesus and make it right for them I swear
I’ve got to pay my debt to Jesus and make it right for them I swear
My Special Love
All the world is waiting for one day
Sing happy Christmas everywhere
But the happiness inside me is drowning
With the same tears every year
‘Cause for me there’s something missing
It’s the piece to fill this aching gap
The one thing that would give to me
More joy than all the gifts I’ve wrapped.
My special love, the one
to fill my heart and soul
My special love, the one
to make me feel whole. My special love
I get invited to the parties on the block
with my plus one invitation
But I never seem to meet the one
who deserves accreditation
What can I do to change the situation
My love I cry out for salvation
Patience won't you teach me
not to guarantee my expectations
My special love, the one
to fill my heart and soul
My special love, the one
to make me feel whole. My special love
Take away the tinsel and the icing on the cake
No need to max my credit card for happiness that's fake
If my commitment is in question
I can't let it dominate
My special love, the one
to fill my heart and soul
My special love, the one
to make me feel whole. My special love
My special love, the one
to fill my heart and soul
My special love, the one
to make me feel whole. My special love
Silence Of The Streets
Spirits of angel’s in the night
Filling my head with thoughts that will not go
I'm walking along with eyes so wide
The streets where I'm walking have claimed my soul
All of the signs have me confused
Just want to find a way to go home
Can't seem to shake this chaperone
Do I deserve that point of view of yours
Fight or flight it's ok
Shame on you for thinking that way
Are you gonna listen to me
This is not a playground you see
I'm breaking the silence of the streets
Claiming the right to freedom safe and sound
My voice is a beacon that will shine
I'm not someone that you can just push around
Just because you feel so insecure
Doesn't mean you get to fool around
Engage your muscle with your brain
Think before you act and rein it in
Yes our forefathers got it wrong
It’s been going on for far too long
Time now to change that train of thought
Don’t tell me that I’ve missed the point
Fight or flight it's ok
Shame on you for thinking that way
Are you gonna listen to me
This is not a playground you see
I'm breaking the silence of the streets
Claiming the right to freedom safe and sound
My voice is a beacon that will shine
I'm not someone that you can just push around
Don't look behind you, you don't want to know
I'm so sorry, I just want to come home
It's not always daughters that you need to educate
Why cant you just leave me, leave me alone
I'm breaking the silence of the streets
Claiming the right to freedom safe and sound
My voice is a beacon that will shine
I'm not someone that you can just push around
