How many voices in my head
You are not worthy one has said
Another just wants to be dead
I listen not to these

One says that no one is like me
That’s just because I’m crazy
I’m trapped in here never to be free
I listen not to he

Another says he is a friend
But whispers to me it’s the end
No more he thinks my life should wend
I listen not to him

But in the clamour and the buzz
I here a voice that says I’m loved
I think it comes from heaven above
To that I have to listen

My struggle happens day to day
For love is why I kneel and pray
That’s why I know I’ll be okay
I listen just to me

Heartache is a friend of mine
We are as close as brothers
We walk together everyday
Along with many others
So many think us weak to show
How much we feel inside
A person now is only strong
If they go on alone besides
I shed a tear every day
For those that don’t survive
That feel there is no other way
Than taking their own lives
All it takes to save these souls
Is time and understanding
To be listened to a little
And told they are worth something

I smile to hide the pain away
I laugh to hide the sorrow
I lie awake in bed at night
Fearing tomorrow
Another day of hiding
The way I feel inside
Putting on the mask again
So others think I’m fine
I know I’m not alone at all
I have my family
But no one knows how hard it is
To show my anxieties
So I smile to hide the pain away
And no one wants to see

If your told real men don't cry,
Ask the question then, why?
The soldiers in Afghanistan,
Will cry whenever they lose a man,
They're brave and strong,
Real men I'd say,
They take whatever comes their way,
They risk their lives so you are safe,
They never ask what you can give,
A real man will cry to show,
The death of a comrade is real sorrow,
One hero less upon this earth,
A man that showed his real worth,
So if your told real men don't cry,
Then ask that person,
Really, why?

without you time is endless,
my heart yearns for your touch,
as i draw nearer to you,
my love grows oh so much,
to feel your breath upon me,
the warmness of your skin,
to kiss your lips, caress you,
know that you are mine.

For those that do not know me
I’m a man of little worth
I don’t have lots of money
And all I do is work
I have a quite large family
To house and feed and clothe
But none of them has wanted
For a home that’s filled with love
My family is growing still
My children having more
And all I have is theirs to have
As my love continues to grow
I may not have the money
To buy most everything
But believe me I’m the richest man
I love with all my being

Perfection is unattainable
So everybody says
Then I look at you and fall in love
Each and every day
Your flaws are what make you perfect
Without them what’s to know
Your scars and blemishes and marks
From surface to your soul
The children you have given us
The house you make our home
Is full of love and happiness
Cause perfect is your love
