Dudecation (Tonight)
Sam Hutcherson Mar 2011
Opener
Going out on the city of lights
Gotta rock this place
Gotta rock it right
Its nights like these we’ve been waiting for

Verse 1
Hey now, the night is young
Don’t care, who lost or won
You know, its time to get your party on
I know, its time to play
We’re done, with yesterday
The only thing that matters is today
I’ve been waiting for tonight to come
I just know we’ll have some fun

Verse 2
They try, to take the night
We can’t, give up the fight
This is, a war to make it right
Living’s, about the chance
This life’s, the greatest dance
Its time to put on your party pants
I just know that we can see
Who we are and who we want to be

Verse 3
Hey dude, love being young
It’s all, bout having fun
Realize, your life has just begun
You are, worth waiting for
Your fire, burns to the core
Life’s not, something you can ignore
Tonight’s your chance to live it up
Life is good, can’t get enough





Chorus
Tonights the night, its just begun
We’re over our heads, no place to run, It’s time
Tonight’s the night we take by storm
Tonight’s the night we are born
Again
Tonight’s our chance to live it up
Tonight is ours, we won’t grow up
Tonights where we meet our true friends
And I don’t want tonight to end

Closer
Tonight the night, has just begun
Tonight the night is all for one
Tonight’s the night we take by storm
Tonight’s the night we are born again
Our dudecation doesn’t have to end
So this one isn't as much poetry as i'd normally define it as much as it is a kickin' anthem haha
hope y'all enjoy

Never goodbye
Sam Hutcherson Jan 2011
Verse 1
I look around
know our time is ending
but all along
i wasn't pretending
You and i were meant to be
but now life doesn't want to see
you're mine
but someday we'll end up fine

Look to the stars, they say the same
that life's the player, but we're playing the game
turn around, and i'll be by your side
That last hello's worse than any goodbye
i know we aren't hand in hand
but some day i know you'll understand
All these are the reasons why
I'll always say hello; but never goodbye

Verse 2
I know they say
That we're too young to last
But life isn't life
if you aren't living it fast
I can always see
there's gonna be you and me
Some day
Our Special Getaway

repeat chorus

Bridge
I'd walk a thousand miles
just to see your smile
I'll be there by your side
Won't have to say goodbye
My life is up to me
And you are all i see
Your hello makes me so high
That's why i'll never, never say goodbye

Verse 3
Darling I
don't care what they all say
Tommorrow's ours
and soon it'll be today
your crying is making us strong
so many people we'll prove wrong
we're gonna be together
forever

Alphabet for Optimists
Sam Hutcherson Jan 2011
Answers fly but are ignored
Bolted shut, we've locked the door
Change is something that can happen
Don't be afraid, live in the moment
End our ways of selfishness
Find yourself granting a wish
Games are playing us as fools again
Hold each other close, just take my hand
I'm but one, but we are two
Jesus told us what we need to do
Kool-aid stains paint the table
Losing's something we aren't able (to do)
Making moves to get us past this
Nothing more i can bear to miss
Only time can tell us what to do
People, we can always start anew
Quickly now, we're almost there
Raise your hands into the air
Something's right in the world again
Together, here, i know we can
Underneath our skin, we're just alive
Vanish all the moments that we cry
Wake up now its time for us to go
eXponentially we continue to grow
Young and old, boys and girls
Zoos of people, ready to change the world
so i had a fun challenge to create a poem that used each letter of the alphabet as the first letter in the line, and this was the result

Here We Go Again
Sam Hutcherson Feb 2011
Here it goes again
and like it has before
i'll be here
but it dosen't matter anymore
All i ever did wrong was fall for you
and now everytime i look i see you two
I try to look away
every time you come around
i watch him build you up
just to watch him bring you down
I'll be here, you know that
i'm not looking forward to this mess
but i know how this story ends
i end up becoming less
because no matter how much i hold your hand
give in to your careless demands
i'll always be the only man
who saves you from the terror land
but i know that you wont be seeing me
in the way i want us to be
i'll just watch as you seace to see
how much this world is changing me
see i know the ending
i know all the pain
but when it ends
i'll say here it goes again
because again i look out and i see him
but you don't see me, i know i'll never win.

Questions (For a Hero)
Sam Hutcherson Jan 2011
Verse 1
How can you die
But live on forever
How do you show
That you aren't scared
How to you hold our world
On your shoulders
When i see you
I see a hero standing there

Verse 2
Why don't you run
And escape the torture
Why don't you leave
That world behind
Why do you take all the pain
That isn't yours to hold inside
When i think of you, A hero's on my mind

Verse 3
What if i said
I'd follow your footsteps
What if i'm sure
It should have been me instead
What if i can't
Get what you stood for, out of my head
It kills me to remember
My greatest hero's dead

Verse 4
Where do you find
All the answers
Where can you see
True sacrifice
Where do i go to ask
All thesse questions on my mind
When i remember your face
There was a hero in your eyes

Chorus
Why do we lose, Why do we let
Our hearts forget
Everything you've ever done.
All our battles that you've won
Why don't we stop
Why don't we share
How much we care
About you and where you stand
But we can't understand
It's a cause worht giving more
Help me remember why; you died
For a cause worth fighting Fore

Closer
I stand alone, where you lie forever
I stand alone, can't say goodbye
They say i'm just like you
Except i know i'm too scared to die
This is about my cousin, who died about a week before i was born. A lot of people say I'm so much like he was, and i always wanted to ask him so many questions.
He was a Marine
This goes out to all in the Armed Forces.

One
Sam Hutcherson Jan 2011
One
Verse 1
It doesn't have to be this way
One voice speaks out, turns night to day
One voice can silence hundreds
One dream can change us all
One smile can keep us going
Whether we rise or if we fall

Chorus
One grain of sand
Can move a mountain
A drop of rain
Can calm the sea
A simple push
In the right direction
One chance is all we need

Bridge A
With a smile we keep on going
With a dream we save a life
With a voice we scream to the sky above
Thank God i'm alive

Verse 2
One moment can change
Life we live
One child can show
We have so much to give
One heart can keep us going
One dance can change it all
One mem'ry stands before you
When you rise above your fall

repeat chorus

Bridge B
With a memory we don't forget
With a dance we'll fall in love
With a heart, we can't be defeated
But we have help from above

Closer
As one we are together
As one we can't forget
With one, you're more than nothing
With one, you stop regret
One smile can keep us going
One dance, we fall in love
One time, we'll drop to our knees
And thank the sky above

My Paper Valentine
Sam Hutcherson Feb 2011
Verse 1
This moment is perfect
But i'm lost for words
I know that i seem hollow
We both know you aren't her
Everything about you
Should seem so perfect
So i just regret
Because you're amazing
I just can't let
You waste your time loving me
You aren't the girl i want you to be.

Chorus
You're my paper valentine
For one day you'll be mine
But then i'll fade away
And i want you to be fine
Someday you'll know
This was for the better
And i'll just wonder
Why i let her (go)

Verse 2
I know that this is awful
But i can't wish you pain
I don't want to hurt you
But you say here it goes again
I can't take it all
All i'll put you through
I just can't love you
So let you go
And finally let you
Spread your wings and fly away
You're better off now that you can say

Chorus
You're my paper valentine
One day that you'll be mine
But after that, i can't stay
But i need you to be fine
Someday you'll look back
And not care what we could have had
All you'll remember is i stepped aside
And i hope that you'll be glad

Bridge
Baby it hurts me too
To know i made you cry
But i did it to
Protect you from the lies
You're perfect for me
But we cannot be
Happy together
Because of her
You can't bear
To twist the knife
But its her, who saved my life

Verse 3
I don't have the answer
To what will happen next
All i can do is
Wish you all the best
On paper you are
The best fit for me
But thats all i can see
This love's on paper
And you need to be
free from this raging nightmare
Because i'd never ever be there

Chorus
You're my paper valentine
But the stars just don't align
For me i might have found her
For you, you'll have your time
Tomorrow's better now that i
was able to stop all the lies
And now i have to say good bye
Goodbye

Closer
I hope you understand
The way i am inside
The only thing i can do
Is admit to all my lies
But tomorrow's always another day
And you'll be happy, we'll be okay

Take it Back
Sam Hutcherson Jan 2011
Take back the broken promises
take back the forgotten
take back all the futures we were gonna have
take back all the insults that you threw
take back the madness
take back the insanity
take back the salt you poured on my cuts
inflicted by both of us
take back the warm moments
take back the forgiveness
take back the past that i'll still cherish
take back the bad, take back the good
take me back too

— The End —
