I will survive the loneliness in my heart.
If it were up to me I'd make a new start.
But there is purpose in all of this pain.
For some unknown reason I cannot explain.

But I feel a peace coming over the horizon.
And it will no longer leave me frightened.
As I keep pushing on and moving with grace.
And in the right time I will find my place.

Cherish all good things, while you can,
Each and every woman, each and every man.
Little do you know, when your life will take a turn,
Everything you had, maybe lost in a short span.
Be free, don't confine your mind and soul,
Remember to be happy, atleast once a day,
All will be, as it should be, it's not under your control,
Try to appreciate yourself and throw your worries away.
E**ndings always hurt, but "make it a good one, eh?"

Haha :p

I feel numb from the nonsense that this life contains.
I hold on to the innocence within me that still remains.
It seems as though everybody is in such a hurry.
The rule of everyone's day is unrelenting worry.

That is not the way things are supposed to be.
Just look into your heart to set yourself free.
Just look at wht's around you that is all you need.
To want anything more would be knee deep in greed.

The way to true happiness is so plain and simple.
It makes these present times as annoying as a pimple.
Please take me somewhere where things are more real.
And there is no pressure for me to fight to feel.

I wasn't born yesterday and I know the world's ways.
Everybody is in for themselves in this pensive haze.
But I will keep my head up and look forward with zeal.
And from this moment on I will not have to fight to feel.

I feel I'm losing ground and starting to slip.
I drive with no steering wheel and lose my grip.
There are still so many things I have to discover.
I wander through the abyss like no other.

I don't know if I've found what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for the way that it was before.
I'm looking for youthful freedom and innocence.
The freedom of my heart and never-ending complacence.

I want to feel free to be who I want to be.
There is no one I want to be other than me.
I want to unlock the chains that surround my heart.
And be free again like it was in the start.

I'm gonna be free again, and will be free soon.
I'm gonna stand up and sing to a different tune.
Life's too mundane and there has to be something ahead.
There will not be anymore days I am gonna dread.

Life's too short to live in depression and despair.
I am going to be free again, the way it oughta be.
I have much farther to go and I need to keep movin'.
I am locked up in myself and there is so much I'm losin'.
Oh, Bride of Christ, celestial body,
Oh Holy, Mother Church.
You, gift of God, channel us
in our upwards search.

Holder of all truth, keeper
of God's gracious Eucharist.
Immaculate Mary , Mother of God,
Protector of glowing witness.

Beloved Mass, beloved Litanies,
Keeper of the Flame of Faith.
Blessed Church, who guides
Our seeking of love to taste.

Path of salvation gently laid.
God’s most gracious gift to man,
Sacred Body of Christ,
Through you how blest I am

I am just a dreamer not in touch with reality
I am just a dreamer that is too blind to see
I have places that I want to go and see
I am hopeful that my dreams will come to be

I am just a dreamer that is bound by a wall
A wall that holds me back from branching out
But I have to overcome the feeling and hear the call
And to put one foot forward and overcome the doubt

It is a big world and there is so much to see
For the creator of all things is the God of variety
But I am trapped within myself and can't seem to escape
But I will take a deep breath and take a leap of faith

I am just a dreamer that only shakes and sways
Riding like the wind in search for better days
I pray the Lord will protect me and lead me to His will
I can't do it without Him these shoes are too big to fill
