Get Away

Growing up in a small town is nice,
Until you can't escape,
I need to get out after everything I've faced,
All the rumors going 'round,
Screaming is the only sound,
I can't escape until next fall,
Hopeful for it all,
I need to be gone,
out of this Iowa town,
I need to be on my own,
Even if I'm all alone,
Time moves quickly,
Soon I will be glad to be back home,
but first I must wait,
I must endure this hell,
An Iowa high school,
who knew 400 people could cause such a devotion to get away...

Life moves...

Life moves on,
or so we are told,
but where it goes,
we ourselves will only know,
for it is our life,
we chose what we do,
so live life to the fullest,
what do you got to lose?

Where do we stand?

Where do we stand?
I ask myself this question every day,
we've been through so much together,
then you were gone,
I was so alone even though I was mad,
I can forgive but never forget,
now you are back,
you seem to give little signs,
but what do they mean?
Do you miss us?
Do you want to be friends?
Are you just saying everything is okay?
Or am I just over thinking everything?
Where do we stand?
Life would be so much easier if I knew...
But that would mean talking to you...

Listen...

All alone but not at all,
tonight I am one with the world,
sitting under the wide open sky,
it sparkles and shines like a billion lights,
if you truely listen you can hear the voices of the Earth,
crickets, frogs, and water trickling down the stream,
coyotes howling in the distance,
tonight the city sleeps,
the Earth is always speaking to those who care to listen,
are you?

Time

Why have we grown so far away from you,
Each day we seem further,
You used to be everything to us and now we are killing you,
As time moves on you constantly change,
That is the way of life,
But the question is are you changing for the better this time?
Please be for the better,
We need you Mother Earth
