When the tears that I cry
I pray my eyes you will dry
with the comfort of a friend
and bring to me a pleasuring grin
that will bring a smile to my face

When I'm feeling myself alone
like a begger without a home
with all that I had gone
I pray for me you haven't forgotten
and in your heart let me in

When I fall from grace
and can no longer try
reaching for a way to find an end
I pray you pick me up again
and give me a reason why

When I don't have strength to believe
I pray you still won't leave
and put inside the faith I need
to ease the pain that I bleed

And when it's my time to die
I pray for me you have forgiven
for all that I have done
that was covered by my sin
to get me through that Holy place

Her tears fell from a sky
like a river moving swiftly
through pain and misery
she could not forget

Her heart beating cold
from a love she couldn't hold
as the storms rushed by
the dreams that made her cry

She held the memories of reget
that killed a soul deep within
that blinded the eyes to see
what remained of her reality
and left her alone there

Chained to love lost in despair
that she can't break free
and will never be again

I dance through this life's journey
and feel the beat of a drums rhythm
blessed on this road for all that's given
surrounded by all of life's beauty
letting my Spirit wrap around it's freedom
while through life's echoes silently I sit and listen
as on the wind it's speaks to me a truth of wisdom
teaching me life's lessons still to learn
filling an emptiness with a Peace I yearn

What are dreams for
if I didn't have you
to make them come true

What would the sky be
if there was no color blue
to start off each day
with your smile like the sun
to shine down on me

What would I see
if I didn't have your beauty
to get me through
a world without you

Just what would I do
if I never had a chance
to have never loved you
and you weren't around anymore

Who would I hold close
and offer my heart and a Rose
when the song has begun
with who would I dance
when the music started to play

We all need that somebody
someone we can hold and love
someone who we can lean on
to comfort the scars of pain
when everything else is gone
and nothing but tears fall

We all need a friend
that will be that shining light
through the times of darkness
who will make the sun shine bright
even through the rain

We all need the touch of another's hand
that will take away the loneliness
when we feel no one else is there
and sorrow seems to be the end

We all need the words to hear
to know somebody will care
when we feel in this world alone
to know someone will understand
when we're backed against a wall

We all need that one kind
who will look inside and see
when a heart has turned to stone
to let them know it will be alright
that even through clouds that linger
the stars still come out at night

We all need that piece of mind
to know hard times don't last forever
and there's more to what we have here
if we just reach inside to find
that Heaven don't only shine above
but is held in us from deep within
if we just grasp ahold of it again

There was a time life was so simple
behind every book was a story to tell
of love that would shine a better place
a smile would send you on your way
that would wish another well

Now the faces all come so unclear
that only show shadows of people
of those outside of God's temple
that got lost somewhere along the way
hiding behind all that they fear

Once there was a dream of life in a fairytale
until the world watched a Heaven turn to Hell
seeing love burn the world with hate
it was all that some could only show
as demon's from the dark of another's soul
opened the door to another fire's gate
as the flame burned through

Refusing to hear what the heart would say
while one by one they stood and fell
falling from the light of Heaven's grace
not believing in all that was true
left now with a price to pay

They tried to teach me
of the white man's way
but I was born of Native blood
and they could never take my pride
that's something they couldn't steal away

They tried to fill me with their lies
and drown me in their flood
but I was wise enough to see
to look beyond their greed

They wanted me to coward and hide
but a true Warrior never dies
and they couldn't make me bleed
no matter how hard that they tried

They thought they could give what I need
through empty words they would feed
but failed to see what was inside
that my soul kept satisfied
something that they never understood

They wanted to change me if they could
but I knew my path and destiny
on this Red Road of my journey
their words were only wasted on all they say
because who I am is who I am meant to be
