Language is painless—
but somehow, we're
afraid of the words
that we painted.

A man starts to change when he starts to fall in love..












..and when he gets broken too.

It's not sorrow, and it's not pain.
You don't know what you're saying.
This feeling you speak of is foreign.
You feel as if your life is fraying.

Don't back away or run from it.
Stand your ground and be strong.
Open your eyes and see it for real.
You've been blinded for so long.

Without this you will shrivel.
You'll never reach the highest peak.
Forever you'll have questions.
Time will only make you weak.

This appears so very frightening.
Running seems your best bet.
I understand your fears.
But this isn't such a threat.

Call it a challenge, if you will.
And those only make you stronger.
After this nothing can stop you.
Please hold on just a bit longer.

Keep trusting with all your heart.
Never doubt how this could be.
With trust and hope we conquer.
Just wait and you will see.

Too much emotion
It will make you explode
So many tears and smiles
Too heavy a load

Cry yourself a river
Laugh yourself away
Get caught up in everything
You just allow it all to stay

Fight off all the extra
Don't let it take full rule
Emotions will eat you alive
They can be so very cruel.

Dear Father in Heaven,
I know You watch me from above.
Lately I've been lonely,
And in desperate need of Your love.
Father, please guide me through this.
Each step sets me back to where I was before.
I struggle and fail my way through life.
These days I need You even more.
I've been praying but not trusting.
You're the leader, but I never let You lead.
In the midst of sorrow I try to blame You.
I feel like without You I can still succeed.
But Father, I know that isn't right.
My stubbornness kills me every day.
I just need to trust You.
Now please, show me the way.

If I gave you my heart
Would you keep under lock and key?
Would you cradle it in your arms
And remember that it came from me?

If I gave you my heart
Would you protect it all your days?
Would you keep it next to yours
And promise that's where it stays ?

If I gave you my heart
Would you fix it when it breaks?
Would you glue it back together
And remind me of the love it makes?
