It's taken many hard nights to realize,
I have all the stars in all the skies.
I own the clouds and the grass,
I own the iron and the brass.
I have the vibrancy of the biggest stars,
I have the knowledge, I've been to mars.
I know the truth and truth knows me,
I'm as vast as the ocean sea.
I'm more than what I seem to be.

Life gets hard when you can't see through the rain,
when you want to cry but you can't stand to feel the pain.
When you know you should let it go and start anew,
that's when the truth starts killing you.
When you can't stand to look at their face,
but you do it any way to keep the memories in place.
When you try to relate but they don't understand,
so they throw you out like you don't belong on the land.
When you try to control the thoughts in your head,
from manifesting, you shoot them down dead,
but they rise up again and try to take your power,
that's when you kneel down before the tower,
you pray to whatever you believe and shut your eyes,
you wait for the answers to your prayers and your cries.
Be light like a bird that flies,
and remember the angels can see through your lies.
In the end all we want is what we give,
a reason to smile and live.

you only said that cause she's sitting there crying,
would you say the same thing if she was laying there dying?
would you walk out of that door without a second thought,
would you run away scorning that you fought?
would you still say you were sick of her then,
if you knew you were never going to see her again?
would you be able to live with yourself,
knowing that she only wanted what was best for you and your health?
would you take back all the mean things you said,
if you knew that she was soon to be dead?
it's never to late to make it right,
say your prayers every night,
and say what you truly mean, it doesn't need to rhyme,
just make sure you tell her you love her while there's still time.

I got a life full of mistakes,
left untouched like a poisonous snake.
I have a soul full of fire,
I hear the angels sing out in a celestial choir.
I held my head and prayed,
and in that old field I laid.
I asked for a better place,
where my dreams are kept safe.
They said one day it will come,
it's in a pattern like the sun,
how it comes and goes,
like how it shines then it snows.
They told me to be patient,
everything happens within time,
so I hope that it's true because I'm still waiting in line.

As I feel the day come to an end,
My body sends down shivers again.
As I sit alone and try to ascend.
Breathing in, and breathing out.
Never yell, never shout.

Slowing down, I let my body lift.
I think I've discovered the greatest gift.

We're all angels, we've just been disguised.
Looking and searching for happiness in our lives.
If only we all came to know,
what' s meant to be known.
One day we will be shown,
How all of our beautiful flowers are grown.

On a Tuesday afternoon I stumbled upon a park,
There was an old lady staring at tree bark,
She told me she could give me some light to bring me out of the dark.
She started telling me a story and I heard her say,
Don't worry about the boy that got away,
Let him stray, just obey.
He doesn't know what he's doing,
Isn't that obvious enough?
You're the diamond and he's still looking in the rough.
He passed up the best thing that could ever happen to him,
Now his happiness will never meet the brim,
And his light is going dim.
Young lady, you must listen close,
Your man is not the man that brags and boasts.
Your man is the man who will bring you to all the coasts.
Young lady, you must listen well,
In finding love you will accel,
Don't let your demons drag you to hell,
Because you're an angel with wings.
Then, she rang a bell.
