You walked lightly into my life...
Captivating and lovely to my mind,
At first, I never cared who you were...
Now I don't know who I am without you,
You kissed me...I felt my world change,
You held me...I heard my heart awaken,
You loved me...And my soul was born anew
You walked lightly Into my life...
Now my heart knows who you are
And with every breath, and every step...
I take down lonely roads,
Your hand is my staff...
Your voice is my guide,
Your strength my shelter...
Your passion my awakening
You walked lightly into my life,
And all my pain, You took as your own,
All my fears,You cast into the sea,
All my doubt, Lost in your eyes,
You walked lightly into my life
And no matter if you choose to stay or go,
My life is forever changed...
Just because you loved me...
For a moment In time.
And because I choose To love you...
For the rest of mine.

You have traveled a twisted path,
But I see who you really are;
Bold and strong, you wear your shield,
Protecting the ruins you value dear.
But there's no glory child in holding on,
To a long ago painful past you seem too need;
You're just a bitter vessel in the end,
A lonely man with nothing to give.
Yes, it must be so **** sad,
Living in your tainted world;
Why don't you draw the shield aside,
And let some of the light shine in.
Now your standing at your crossroads,
The world has finally bet you down;
You have come to lay your head to rest,
Your taste for grief, exhausted now.
You sit praying outside my fortress walls,
Throwing down your sword and shield;
Your only need is the home I built,
Out of stone that was once your ruins.
Your weary journey is finally through,
So come seek your shelter in my arms;
There is nothing that can harm you now,
You've found salvation in my paradise.
I see you now as the man I knew,
Bold and strong, you wear your heart;
An open vessel filled with love,
Protecting the fortress where you now dwell.

God I've been thinking about you lately
and wonder are you thinking of me
Feeling lonely and a little scattered
could you send me stronger knees
I was doing some praying
And I'm just saying
You're taking your dear sweet time
Getting back to me
Dear God can't you hear me
Been talking to you for so long
I don't want any miracles
Just a minute of your time
Hey can we meet in a prayer
Can I lay my worries at your feet
Cry a little on your shoulder
Take a little strength back with me

I can't promise you roads
Paved out of Gold
Nor Tomorrows without
Sorrow or woes
But I can promise you this
That through it all
I'll always be there
A soft place to fall
I can't guarantee Sunshine
Each day you arise
I can't tell you it won't be
Yet one more trial
But I can guarantee this
You won't walk it through alone
Yes you'll always have
A soft place to fall
I can't assure that tomorrow
Will bring riches or fame
I can't promise a future
Without any pain
But one thing I swear
Till the end of it all
You'll always have this
A soft place to fall.

You take my hand
Then you let it go
You said “You are ready”
To face it on your own
It won't be easy
Sometimes you'll fall
But there will be moments
That will make it all worth-wild
You said “Be a good person”
“Never let anyone Bring you down”
And Remember to stand tall
Don't ever hit the ground
But when you do
Rise up tall
Don't ever let the world
Make you feel small
Fight for the right
Denounce the wrong
I can tell you Daughter
You are so so strong
And I know all
about your scars
Each one makes you
Who you are
And it's OK Dear
Your wars over now
Live in peace
And be proud
So I want to thank you Mother
For breathing life into me
For seeing what you see
And teaching me
For every lesson
For every Hug
And for teaching me
How to Love...

He is lovely, dark, and deep
Though in his heart, secrets keep
I aspire to protect them all
The immoral, the sad, the grievous too.
He has come, heart open wide
He says' have me whole or not at all'
I know his love, I bring him up
Above the world, he once knew.
He will stay, strong and right
His intentions cast no single doubt
I seek his temple ever more
His Quiet arms await me there.
I am Lovely, light, and deep
Though in my heart, secrets keep
You aspire to protect them all
The immoral, the sad, the grievous too.
I am here, heart open wide
I say 'have me whole or not at all'
He know's my soul, He takes me down
.Beneath the flood of pain I knew.
I will stay, strong and right
My intentions cast no single doubt
He seeks my temple ever more
My quiet arms await him there.
We are lovely, Light, and deep
Within our love, secrets leave
We aspire to bespeak them all
The immoral, the sad, the grievous too.
We are here, hearts open wide
We say 'have us whole or not at all'
We stand as witness, of love's great strength
That crosses borders, of ignorance.
We will stay, where we belong
Our intention loving, etched in stone
We seek the temple from which we came
God's Quiet arms await us there.

Behind my eyes of reverie
I don't know what I see
Unfamiliar feelings find
Rooms inside my tired mind
I hide behind my stone cold wall
Not knowing if it will ever fall
I kneel affront my iron gate
Pondering a uncertain fate
I search for truth that can't be found
Fear and loathing keep me bound
I feel deeply disenchanted
Lost, alone, and took for granted
Gravity, the only thing that keeps me here
Maybe nothing else is my fear
I'm so blinded by me anxiety
My only wish, is to feel free.

Get Past the Pain and Live Again
I can't wait til we meet again
Way far up there in heaven
But I am staying here for now
I will get through it some how
I will get past the pain
And I will live again
I know that you are peaceful now
But here I am weepful now
I know you want me to be strong
Keep singing and go on
I will get past the pain
And I will live again
So I will dance for you
I will Be a better woman
I'll be the difference you made
I will dwell in peace and grace
I will get past the pain
And I will live again
I will plant the gardens you loved
Give Faith a fighting chance
Live in gratitude and love
Remember you're with God above
I will get past the pain
And I will live again

Child of Grace
She was a child of grace
Surrounded by the worst of men,
A tender heart, with much to give
And a spirit locked in chains;
I see her sitting, lost and cold
Her face so filled with shame,
How I wish I could have held her
Saved her from the pain;
I watched her walk her forlorn path
Burdens too heavy for her to share,
Beaten down, and all alone
A sight too painful to bear:
I turn away with a sorrow,
Take one last look, and say goodbye,
A single tear runs down my cheek
I leave the girl behind;
Though many years have passed me by
I remember what I saw,
That little girl, with bright green eyes
A beautiful, empty shell;
I take her with me always
She is my strength through trying times,
But I know she turned out just fine
In fact I know and love her more today;
She walks with grace and dignity
A flame that lights the night,
Her heart now healed, her spirit free;
I know, because that girl was me.
