This is the best life has to offer
How many times do you need a sign
Begging you to take advantage
On this, the best time of your life

No matter what it is you're going through
Deep down inside you know I'm right
The attitude is up to you
On this, the best time of your life

You are not the only one
Who must decide to rise and shine
It won't just happen on its own
On this, the best time of your life

Only you can rise above
Reaching for the unknown heights
Never settle on just enough
On this, the best time of your life

Again, this is the best life has to offer
Time after time you've seen the signs
Begging you to take advantage
On this, the best time of your life

What is the truth to you
Is it something that you hold
Somewhere someone’s led you
Maybe you’ve been told

Is it hidden in a feeling
A place seldom turned
Does it hold a different meaning
When immersed in love

What is the truth to you
And would you recognize
If it were told to you
Don’t believe your lying eyes

pretty as a penny, she never thought any
one could love her for her worth
she listened to the lies told by her own eyes
making her wonder what it's all for

with nobody to love me she finds herself hungry
if only she could have the slightest of taste
thinks that's all she needs to get rid of these
feelings of lost and lonely days

she's done it all except for loving herself
seems to be the last thing she has tried
knowing she may not like the one that she finds
the girl behind the pretty smile

if lying was a crime she'd be guilty every time
when asked by friends how she has been
with perfect alibi she says that she's fine
then goes back to keeping her dark feelings in

where she steps up to bat with the voices in her head
that tell her she'll forevermore be alone
beautiful no doubt both inside and out
though sadly she may never know, giving up hope long ago

The only news these days I need
Is sung by birds in high top trees
In the middle of the forest deep
That's the only news I need

Tells me all I care to know
Natures plans in rays of hope
All the news that's fit to run
Singing of, seasons to come

The outside world can have its faults
No need for me to know them all
Only the good news that nature brings
That's the only news I need
In North Carolina visiting family, away from the hustle and bustle of life ♥️

Can't help but wonder if I'm right
In all I see have I lost sight
Home of the brave, land of the free
Where is my humanity

Have I carelessly thrown in my lot
With those that hold onto wrong thoughts
In letting them convince me
It's for the betterment of humanity

Letting forces, force me into
Things I wish I never knew
At times ashamed of what I see
On the scale of my humanity

Afraid of what I'm turning to
The further away I move from truth
The facts run cold, the lies run deep
Slicing at humanity

Shaky ground on sinking sand
The hardened heart of wicked man
The seeds I sow I'll come to reap
In the letting go of humanity
I have to wonder if those I side with are right...

Let’s be ravens
You and me
Let’s travel the world
Wild and free
Faces to the sun
Winds on our wings
Let’s do it for fun
Till our souls sing
Own the sky
Capture the land
I’ll be by your side
If you’ll take my hand
Let’s be two of a kind
You and me
Let’s live for love
Let’s love to live
Forever in bliss
Forever we’ll be
I read a comparison between crows and ravens. It said that ravens travel in twos. I like ravens.

It's not enough
Just to love
Family and friends
We must go beyond
Loving those we don't know
One's, we don't get along
That is when love
Comes on strong

It's not enough
Just to love
When people are looking
To put on a front
Because after all
Looking good's what we want
Sometimes love
Is so misunderstood

It's not enough
Just to love
With our own idea
Of how it is done
Throwing conditions
We should overlook
It's not enough
When it comes to love
