Shadow 04:42
Picking up the pieces of my heart Shattered all over the ashfault Burning dreams playing mind games I try not to think what they say And if I loved you tomorrow Would you still love me today A haunting past is creeping on me Investigating everything I see Suffocating memories It’s no wonder I still can’t breathe And if I loved you tomorrow Would you still love me today And if I hurt your pain Would you forgive my yesterday Or will I always remain in your shadow

I looked at you one last time before you I walked right out the door I said I’m sorry sir but I can’t believe the same things as you anymore And I picked my stuff up walked out with one more thing to say I wish it could of work out but to you I’m going to hell anyway And I don’t know my own heart I don’t know my own way So I’m gonna to have to go find myself and be on my own today Is it ok with you if I question all my own beliefs? Is it ok with you if I look at myself independently? Before I needed you everyday Before I needed you in every way But now I’m old and I have grown It’s time for me to do it on my own I know you don’t agree with the choices I have made I know you think I am a complete mess who’s failed God in everyway Maybe it's a phase or the place I’m going to stay Do you know how hard is it to break from your past and begin in a whole new way And I’m not saying I have it all completely figured out I’m not saying I know what’s best or what this life is all about I don’t appreciate you questioning all my moves Cus a player needs to make mistakes in order to improve Before I needed you everyday Before I needed you in every way And I am old ya I have grown It’s time for me to do it on my own

We built a greenhouse in our backyard And the basil is growing strong We have a hidden door through our back fence To scare the neighbors when they’re doing wrong We paint the walls and mow the lawn We stay up late and sing songs I never realized how happy I can be Just as long as the tourists are nice to me Cus it’s a good life And I can’t complain In this town that’s full of rain And when I can’t seem to go on I’ll just sing this simple, simple song And I’ll picture your beautiful face In this beautiful place We bought a little boat just to play around Saved all our pennies just to get us off this ground All we wanted was to explore this town But 384 days later we were still around Cus it’s a good life And I can’t complain In this town that’s full of rain And when I can’t seem to go on I’ll just sing this simple, simple song And I’ll picture your beautiful face In this beautiful place The grass is green the flowers are in bloom Life may not be as it seems but hey it’s only June A moment has past and another will come Just live it as it’s last and have some fun Cus it’s a good life And I can’t complain In this town that’s full of rain And when I can’t seem to go on I’ll just sing this simple, simple song And I’ll picture your beautiful face In this beautiful place

Henry 04:18
I heard your call in the middle of the night I decided to follow to join the fight To protect my heart and family To never give up to always believe And I have restless anxiety In my own disabilities And I am fearful on my own Old enough but I haven’t grown Here I am with nothing left Just my hopeful heart I’ve hid the rest And I don’t know what will happen to us One thing strong is our beating love Across the Country I will run Believing in something that’s not yet done And if I could fly I‘d fly straight to you I’d pick you up, I’d heal your wounds But times are tough and I can’t come To do those things that aren’t yet done So I have to wait here patiently Anticipating the moment were free And here I am with nothing left Just my hopeful heart I’ve hid the rest And I don’t know what will happen to us One thing strong is our beating love So disappointment please be gone In my shortcomings I‘ve done no wrong And I won’t stop till I find you Through these storms and nightmares too And here I am with nothing left Just my hopeful heart I’ve hid the rest And I don’t know what will happen to us One thing strong is our beating love I will run, I will run, I will run

Destiny 03:06
I walked down the street the other day When an angel flew by my face I took a double look because I couldn’t believe my eyes But that there angel was still floating through the sky And I thought Oh oh oh oh What did I do Oh oh oh oh I didn’t mean too Oh oh oh oh I guess I messed up Oh oh oh oh just my luck Guess that’s what happens when I don’t think things through I guess I m on my way to the grave just like you Well this got me thinking about my destiny Where am I headed will I die or be free I’d rather go tot heaven than straight to hell ya I’d rather not talk about it can’t you tell I learned of Jesus way back in the day He makes me feel better in a confused messed up way But I m going to believe that I am set free And that there’s angels still floating around me ya And when I start to stumble I will not fall Cus I’m going up in that big blue sky, hey ya, after all And oh oh oh oh it’s not what I do No oh oh oh even if I mean to Cus God’s grace is bigger than all my faults And no I am not in a cult And I’m gonna believe that I am set free And that there’s angels still floating around me

I feel a breeze across the sea It sings to me sweet melodies Of a history burning through this place I hear everything as it’s supposed to be And no it’s not my insanity It’s perfect tranquility The eagles soar through the air Whale’s swim out everywhere And I am blessed to witness these So don’t follow me across the sea To take me back to your debris Cus I’m not ready to leave I am here I’m not alone In this place I’m proud to call home I am free to always roam So my dear, come visit me So you can see, so you can see me happy You don’t understand why I left But I am here now it’s for the best And I can call these shores my home My heart will always remain Despite the fight inside my brain But I won’t give up for anything I am here I’m not alone In this place I’m proud to call home And I am free to always roam So my dear, come stay me So you can see, so you can see me happy The shattered secrets of the sea are the broken pieces lost in me When they’re shining in the light And the wind tries to push me down, I’m petrified but I’ll hold my ground Cus I’m forced to fight Cus I am here I’m not alone In this place I’m proud to call home And I am free to always roam So my dear, come stay me So you can see, so you can see me happy
