Father You are always going To be number 1 In my live Also father I need you Badly in my life That is the whole truth That is coming out Of my mouth Father don't bother calling me A liar because that is not me I am afraid that you are forgetting About the person I am

I need it now
I cried a tear, you wiped it away I was confused, you cleared my mind I sold my soul, you bought it back for me And sustained me and gave me dignity Somehow, you needed me [Both] You gave me the strength to be alone again To face the world on my own again You placed me high up on a pedestal So high I could almost see eternity You needed me, you needed me [Bridge: Anne Murray, Shania Twain & Both] And I can't believe it's you, I can't believe it's true I needed you and you were there Mmm, and I will never leave, why should I leave? I would be a fool For I finally found someone who truly cares You held my hand when it was cold When I was lost, you brought me home You gave me hope when I was at the end And turned my lies back into truth You even called me a friend

I cried a tear
God, thank you for being healthy For family and shelter Because I have a purpose in life Thank you again because it's not all rosy And that they said they loved me, and now it's just the other way around Otherwise I wouldn't have realized that I had to detach I don't know why but at the moment all I'm doing is stagnating I know I should get up and progress But something binds me Frustrates me, I can't understand I think it's time to stop being or look weak (To look weak) I just want to get out with the music, not to fill the bag (Not to fill the bag) External things won't change my inside'I know I'm following, I don't care who's before'I've got to discipline myself, it's not enough to make a motivational video I'm not going to do anything for no rational reason I'm looking around me, I don't see anything, I have a bitter taste You can't heal something you don't recognize, that's clear That's exactly what I'm trying to do And stop complacent To be even more focused These phases I don't like I feel like I've lost control I have to move on to the next level Only God is immortal

God, thank you for being healthy
There is not a minute that go by That I can’t stop to think about My father Who had created me in his image And my father tells me that I am a beautiful men in his eyes Also he tells me that I am Handsome With the gray here And also curly I don’t think I am handsome at all

Summer slipped out the back Packed up the heat so fast Didn’t even say goodbye Just left sand in my shoes Folded the bright short sleeves Boxed up the ocean blue Now every hanger’s heavy With thicker Darker hues I hope we have a mild winter Let the cold come soft Come slow I’m pulling on my long johns Flannel on my shoulders Watching one more season go I hope we have a mild winter Give me one more gentle day I’ll walk that same old block Then sit at my computer Do a little work for God and stayTop of my long johns on Flannel shirt buttoned high Bottom half hugging my legs As that gray rolls over the sky Round and round the block Same cracks in the same old street Breath like a faded cloud Keys waiting back on my seat Quick bite at the kitchen counter Crumbs on a chipped white plate Living room light like a little altar Cursor blinking Asking me to wait Screen glows on my tired face Hands on the keys like I’m in prayer Small quiet tasks in a quiet place Believing someone’s with me there

You sold my soul That was sick Frozen with the snow God Had my soul Defrosted for couple days That was something that I didn't like at all But now my soul Is working fine Back to normal In my prayer I said to God Thanks to keep My soul alive every day
