Take me to a place where I see nothing but the sky
To lay in the sun and for my dreams to never die
To tell you the truth I am easily amused
There is no need for me to be so confused

Take me to a place that is over the horizon
And where the stars they shine so bright
And lay in the grass until the sun starts risin'
And the crisp morning air becomes a warm light

Take me to place where I can see for miles around
To renew my soul and for hope to be abound
Lately despair has been my one and only friend
Take me to a place where I can let my heart mend

There is not a single soul in sight
Along this lonely stretch of highway
But I feel anything but lonely tonight
I am free to be me, and to do things my way

When I think of love it makes me stand and fight.
When I think of love it makes me lose sleep at night.
It is the word that will make you or break you.
Love is the word that will make you bleed through.

But love is more than just a word.
It is the most profound expression.
It isn't something that can just be heard.
It is God's way of making a connection.

But people use it to get what they want.
And for that purpose it makes my heart haunt.
But the older you get it has more understanding.
And it comes more natural and less demanding.

However don't get me started I may talk all night.
Until I wear this word out and it's out of sight.
Before I get too deep I will sleep on it.
And when the time comes I will steep on it.

Again, you are trying to fit in
And I always dreaded that feeling
But then, as they say, change is inevitable
I have to accept it like I don't have a choice at all

So yeah, I will definitely try
Not to fit in the mold
But to keep my shape and smile
Just be myself and be bold
Don't just try to fit,
at least create or build a space for yourself. But still, keep the RESPECT and accept the differences. Written date: 9:16pm, Wednesday, April 27, 2016

There's no one left to blame, things are not the same,
The happiness you once brought, will never come again.
When you think it's over you start feeling the pain.
The pain of love lost and you can't turn around again.

I never wanted things to be this way, but I can't go on living like this.
I remember the days that used to be, when I told you I love you and gave you a kiss.
But I know I can't go back without having a panic attack.
There's someone special out there, and I have to let her know I care.

However I will always care about you, but I have to live my life without you.
Things are never gonna be the same, I'll return to the dust from which I came.
So I need a love, a friendly love, with color and prosperity which will last to eternity.
If I keep you in my life, how am I ever gonna be free?

I need love that is youthful and fruitful, our love now has grown dead and cold.
I've grown a little bit older, a little bit stronger, a little bit bolder, I know that my life is far from over.
The ground benetah my feet is as solid as my heart is because I know it is full of love.

I couldn't go back without feeling the pain, being friends just makes me hurt the same.
But I think about my life and I have to let it be.
Living without you is the only way to be free, all I ask in life is to be happy.

I've been happy now that I'm alone, learned a lot about me I have never known.
There is nothing in life that I regret or would take back. What will be will be.
Keeping the heart free is the only way to live. and waiting for the right one for your heart to give.

These days of disgrace leave me with a feeling of disgust.
The wars, the pain, material things, and lust.
The way people abuse love and turn it into rust.  
Leaving yourself to blame and no one to trust.

I know I've felt the pain and need to be set free, there's so much out there that's in store for me.
But to find the one in a million in the vast sea, maybe I found her!  We'll just wait and see
Waiting for something and something to believe in, keeps my head up and changes my living.
Sometimes you gotta just lean on the fence post for awhile, but when the wait's over, you'll have an eternal smile.

I don't know what to say about today.
Just grasp it in my hands and throw it away.
Because every day is a brand new day.
And people start lives in a brand new way.

I don't know what to think, my mind is blank.
a feeling came over me, and my heart sank.
I just wanted to get my whiskey, and pour me a drink.
Forget about today, and try not to think.

There's a big life ahead that's in store for me.
I can't be feelin' down, what will be will be.
But I choose not to carry my days in despair.
Just enjoy my days, and breathe the fresh air.

Even if I don't come around, i don't mean to let you down.
I just need time alone, and time to hang around.
Hang out with good friends, just like it used to be.
Footloose and fancy free, enjoying me being me.

Things are not the same, they're gettin' better.
better and better each and every day.
Just as long as I keep being myself.
Love is sure to find a way.

I believe in falling in love
But real love is very hard to find
The feeling of flying like a dove
Oh how I wish that you could be mine

I remember when I had no sense of direction
But everything is now looking more clear
I hope that I can make a firm connection
And fly like an eagle without any fear

I wasn't my real self and I made some mistakes
But I will hold out and wait as long as it takes
In the garden of pure love it is you I hope to find
I will be forever waiting for my real first time
