Rock Me Tonight like you never done before.

Show the world just how good you are.

With your fingers on that guitar.

Spin out Melodies that would blast us into the next century.

So take a bow and shout it out for the world to hear.

You're now the king of rock and roll and this is where your Story begins not where it ends.

Just Like a Pill I take you every day to keep myself sane it's better than going to the land of insanity when they lock you up and throw away the key and you'll never see the light of day.


They say it's all in your head and you have a chemical imbalance.

They say they're doing it for your own so you don't hurt yourself or others.

But how can it be for our own good when you do not get to live a life just surviving not truly living.

So where's the good in that?

I don't see it.

All things are not black and white there is some gray in between.

That will prove to you that I'm just as sane as you can be.

Without losing the fire in your heart and the colors in your world.

Because if the world was truly just black and white that's when you would really go insane from the drab of the mundane.

I need your Love to lift me up from the darkness of my own self-pity.

It's all your fault that I Need You To Survive.

You have become my hero, Warrior and leader of men

Maybe you're right I could be stronger if I wanted to be and never give in to the doubt in my head

No more sorrow will come my way and save your goodbyes for another day we will Survive this and become stronger than we ever knew we could be. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Fire in the hall I scream when the bombs come flying down on our heads.

War has come to our homeland.

Enemies all around us trying to destroy the peace we have made.

They cannot stand that we are happy and they are not so they destroy our happiness with Bloodshed and tears.

Causing chaos in the street for the only purpose is trying to break us.

We will fight for our freedom like our forefathers have before us and when it's all said and done will come out on top.

And show the world when tragedy comes knocking we become stronger because we are a team with friends, family and strangers all fighting for the same purpose

And that is our freedom.

A feast of the year when we all gather around and tell the world what we are thankful just being around and not in the ground

“Where” we break bread with the ones we love and tolerate the ones with don't.

“Where” the smell of fresh-baked cookies are in the air followed by laughter from a good story that lifts everyone's spirits

And by the end of the day we say goodbye with a hug and promise to keep in touch until next year when we do it all over again. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

***** love is easier to run away with and hopefully get lucky.

And when it's all said and done we will be gone forever.

Our ***** love is as hard as a rock so nothing can break it

I love playing with the fire within you it makes the Journey more fun when we hit the lights.

I got what you want now we say our goodbyes

And never speak of our ***** Love because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Catch me if you can it could have been me on the other side of this cat-and-mouse game.

But Fortune favors the strong that's why you'll eat my dust as I laugh all the way home

So goodnight I'll see you in another Race of Time and the winner will determine the fate of our relationship and the world around us. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
