Bind us together Lord
Bring us together as one
We are a broken nation
We need you

Your Love
Your mercy
Your grace
Bind us together Lord
So we may love you

The Sound of water running through the creek
Cows on the hillside grazing
Warm breeze through the treetops
Wild animals in the woods

I was born country
These things run through my blood
Like a mighty river
That can not be stopped

Fixing fence
Hauling hay
Cutting wood
Fishing in the pond

I was born country
It is forever a part of who I am

Family dinners
Catching Fireflies
Sitting out at night
Watching the starlight

I was born country
The spirit of nature
Is one with my soul
For it truly is
God's creation

Hay rides
BBQs
Fresh fruits and vegetables
From the garden

I was born country
Nothing like a job well done
Being with friends
Getting along

Dogs in the yard
Mom's cooking
Cat's in the barn
Kids playing in the yard

I was born country
It is who I am
The values passed down
Can not be taught
Only can be learned
Off the land

Gathering Walnuts
Camping out at night
Tire swings

I was born country
I always will be

Beer
Beer
Tangy and sweet
Beer
Beer
With the food I eat

Beer
Beer
Bubbly foam
Beer
Beer
Store bought or made at home

I am broken
May your love
Weld me back together

I am cold
May your love
Keep me warm

I am scared
My your love
Calm my fears

I am empty
May your love
Filll me

Dance
Dance
Move your feet

Dance
Dance
To life's beat

The rythm of life
The joy of life
Flows in every step

I feel lonely
I feel hurt
A thousand
No
A million tears
Burst from the floodgates
And
Flow as a mighty river
From my eyes

Party all night until dawn
Restless energy to spend
Party hardy my good friend
Hangover later

I am a solder
Though I fight a different kind of war

Day by day my inner demons come
Marching in line
Banging their drums
Flags waving
Acting proud
Ready to tear this poor man down

Day by day
I fight
I can't let them win
Each day's a victory
Or sometimes a loss
Upon the waves of desturction
My emotions get tossed

I know if I continue fighting
If I never back down
That in the end
I shall win

I am a solder
Though I fight a different kind of war

Steak on the grill
Corn on the cob beside it
BBQ sauce to be spread on
Potato salad in the fridge

Beer
Friends
Lots of fun

Family
Neighbors
Folks from down the street

BBQ time
Is fun time

Love is like a flame in your heart
Passion is the fuel that make the flame go

Do what you love
Do it with passion
Warm this cold world
With the growing fire within you

Do what you love
Do it with passion
Shine bright within this dark world
With the fire that burns within you

Down a dark cold alley there is a child waiting for help
Do you venture to help the child not knowing where it will lead
Or do you pass by and think nothing of it at all

Don't stop believing in yourself
Always
Reach for the stars

Lord
Your teachings are beautiful
Honest and true
Teach me to hear your call
And we I do
May I answer that call
With a full hear, mind, and spirit

Lord
May your words
Reach into my soul
May they change me
From the person I once was
Into the person you need me to be

Her name is Amber
Or at least
That is the name she has been given
For nobody knows her true name
She is 6 years old
Or at least that is how she appears
For she is a ghost child

Raven black long hair
Blue eyes
Pale white skin
She wears a white nightgown
And always carries a teddy bear

I said she is 6 years old
However she is much much older
Her exact age is unknown
However some guess 2-3 hundred years

She is mostly harmless
Wandering here and there
In the dead of night
Farmers have seen her
Walking through their Hayfield
One claims that while he was out
Hunting one early morning
He saw her rise from the depths
Of the pond

She can be seen wandering the streets in town as well
Some say that sometimes
She carriers a lantern with her
But
She always has her teddy bear

Some say she burned in a house fire
Some say she wandered away from home and got lost in the nearby woods
There are even weirder and more gruesome tales about her dimise

Most of the time she is harmless
However
When she gets into a mood
Her eyes turn bloodshot
Her hair turns to flames
Some say her teddy bear
Becomes a real bear
She uses other worldly powers
To create much mischief
Throwing objects
With the wave of her hand
She could stand on one end of the street
Her screeching yell could break every glass object along that street,  and some tales say the whole block

After she's had her "fun"
She'd turn back into an innocent child
Holding her teddy bear once more
And continue on her wandering ways

In the corner of her room
She sits with leg between her legs
She has been abused
Verbally
Sexually
Emotionally
By those she called family and friends
By those she was supposed to trust

Trust, yeah right whatever
Those demons stoll from her
Those demon tore her soul apart

In the corner of her room
She sits with leg between her legs
She does not cry
For crying would let them win
Give them a victory
That
She can not
She will not allow

I'm not a man.
Just a boy.
What could I possibly understand?
What is there left to enjoy?
My memories will continue to carry on.
Just as long as you can stay strong.
I thought I had a family.
My eyes opened up, I see the reality.
This is a heart broken tragedy.
Please, just save me from my tragedy.
I can't just run away.
I'm stuck. Forced here to stay.
Bury me with all of my remains.
For even after death I'll still live with this pain.
So tell me then, what of me will truly remain?...

A glass of wine
A glass of cheer

Get up move your feet
Feel the rhythm feel the best
From the top of your head to the souls of your feet
Don't just sit there like a lump on a log
Stuck and sinking in the world's big
Get up out of your sear
Move your feet

Get
Get
Get up and dance

Get up
Get up
Get up and dance

Life's a journey , life's a path
Dance, dance all the way
Whirl and twirl, sway back and forth
Have fun each and everyday
Don't let life *** you down
No need to drag upon the ground
Let the music energize you, let it fill you

Get
Get
Get up and dance

Get up
Get up
Get up and dance

Be who you are
Don't apologize for it
Celebrate it

She speaks
Though without words
Her expression says it all

She speaks
Though without words
Her hands do the talking for her

Why was she born this way
Mute
Meek
Without a word to say

The world shuns her
turns her away
All because of what she can not say

Is there not someone with a loving heart
Is there not someone who cares
Or will they all just stop and stare
At this woman without a voice

She wants to speak
She wants to convey how she feels
She wants to love
As well as be loved
Instead of seen as a voiceless freak

She cries when no one is watching
For to let the world see her cry
Would be letting the world win
That she can not let happen

She is strong
Despite the pain
She carries on

She feels no shame
She was just born this way
She prays for those who mock her
Hoping they see the light some day

Life is sometimes like a roundabout
The further in you go
You get trapped
Going round and round in circles
With no way to get back

Life is like a roundabout
No matter how hard you try
Someone is blocking your way
So you can't get back to where you need to be

Life is like a roundabout
A vortex pulling you in
With no way to get out

I need a hug
The warm embrace of another
A gesture of friendship and care

I need a hug
I am feeling qite low
A hug to refuel my energy

I need a hug
A kind soul
A loving hert
Willing to warm this icy void
I feel I've become

Do I not count to anyone
I want to know someone cares
I want to know that someone is happy
That I exist

Jesus
Lord
King
My everything

I come to worship and praise
To glorify you
To bring you honor
May I don't right in your sight

My life is yours
Mold it
Shape it
Construct
Me mentally, physically, and spiritually
For the task you have
For my life

Jesus
Wssh me clean
Remove all impurities
Remove
All that gets in the way of living for you
Like the ocean's tide
May your Spirit
Drag away all that is
Unworthy and unholy

Lord
Transform me
Rebuild me
Reshape me
According to thy will

Energize me
Set me on fire
So that I may reach out
To others
And
Bring them home to you
Bring them into the fold

The emotional dam has burst
Blood rushes
It heats up as the anger grows
The madder I get
The more my blood boils
The more I feel
I will burst into flames

Life has delt me a nasty blow
I was cheated
I was hurt
When life attacked

I want to fight back
To prove I am no coward
To prove I am strong
To prove I am not someone to ***** with

Navigate the stars
here in space
with these two hearts

Love was found
with just a kiss
now
eternal bliss

Our lives forevermore
together they shine

bliss that skyrocketed to the sky
you and I
arm in arm
walking life together
Navigating through the stars

The bones of the past
They haunt me
The blood of the past
Spills over me like a waterfall
The sins of the past
Causes many tears

I had a dream one night
I was walking through a field of complete waste
Bones started coming out of the ground
Voices from these remains
Started shouting accusing me of such shame
As punishment I am to walk the land
Alone until the end of time

A stack of bone lies in the middle of the field
The skulls start their chanting of accusation
“You left me hungry”
“You did not cloth me”
“You left me out in the cold”
On and on the accusations came without end
Blood starts in the center of the stack and is forced outward
Before the blood reaches me I move on

The ghosts of my victims Float around me
Taunting me and shouting their curses
They throw their bones at me
I beg for forgiveness
However they give me none

I woke in a pool of sweat
Tears streaming from my face
“I am sorry “I shout
“I am sorry”

Their bones forever haunt me
Their blood seeps into my skin
Their voices constantly scream
I can run
I can not hide

A mighty dragon breathing fire
Is what lights up the giant lantern
Called the sun

My child, now you know
It's dragon's breathe
That gives it it's mighty glow

(A smaller dragon lights the moon)

Her eyes were like gems
As she pressed her lips to mine
Then my eyes closed
I was overtaken in the moment
Sweet bliss
Sweet bliss
Just ourselves and nothing more
That kiss was only a moment
But the memory lasting a lifetime

Jesus you're my
Lord and savior
I will praise you
Forever and ever
I'm no longer lonely
For you gave a family
To share my love
Til the end of time

Evil is a terror waiting at the door

We grow up together, side by side
Playing on swings, or going down slides
Brothers we were arm in arm
Building forts, walking the trail long

You dad got a better job in another state
You had to move, that sealed our fate
Friends no more we would be
Except by mail between you and me

Goodbye my friend,  you're moving far away
Goodbye friend,  I will miss you everyday

I never stopped calling you my friend
Even though our lives went separate ways
In my heart you're a friend till the end
Until my dying day

Goodbye my friend,  you're moving far away
Goodbye friend,  I will miss you everyday

Be who you are
Not who everyone tells you to be
Be who you are
Stand on your own two feet

I Want

I want to hold your hand
To let you know I care
That I am and always will be there

I want to hug you
So you know my love is true
To squeeze away all fear and doubt
To let all the sadness out

I want to wipe away your tears
Give you a shoulder to cry on
Just to hold you near

I want to listen to your hopes and dreams
To build a future together
No matter how impossible it seems

When you are having a bad day
Please don't go away
Talk to me
Let me know
I want you help you carry on

I want to share with you my love
My heart and soul
To show you it's true
I really do love you

Dare to excell
Dare to succeed
Reach for the sky
Dream high
Dream high

Lord guide me
Step by step
Upon the road before me

When I stumble
When I fall
Give me the strength
To get back up
To move on

When my heart feels heavy
And the load I can't bear
Let me know you are with me
I don't have to carry it alone
You will share the weight

When I am tired
And my footsteps sway
Guide me back
Give me rest
Energize me for the rest of the way

Christmas time
Christmas marry
Santa Cluase sure is hairy

I write down my feelings
I write down my thoughts
To releash the tenson
Growing upon my heart

There she stands on the street corner
Selling tulips from her cart
Her family is poor
So she helps to support
The only way that she can

Nine years old
Dressed in tatered worn clothes
She has never been to school
Selling flowers is all she knows
She sells the flowers
To those who pass by

Many have sean her
She is a regular sight upon the corner
A few have bought flowers
Many more just pass by
Not even with a glance her way

She sells the flowers
To better herself
To better her family
To prove
Though they are poor
They are not helpless

What promise can you give me
What word can you say
To make me believe you love me
Not just wanting to throw my heart away.

Will you lift me up
To rise and know love once more
Or
Will you let me crash upon the rocks of life
Bleeding
Dying
To live no more

I ask again
What promise
What word
What bond
Would make it worth to love you

2 competitors
100 shots of whiskey each
One by one
They down their glass
Until one of them
Falls on their ***
.
Words get said
Words are slurred
Some words are not even heard

Still they go
One after the other.
Drunken and sad
Shot after shot
Until one passes out

Follow the white rabbit down the rabbit hole
Follow him to places unknown
All is wonderful and fancy free
An adventure for you and me

Dragons
Elves
Dwarves and more
Come come a brand new world to explore

Follow the white rabbit down the rabbit hole
Follow the white rabbit and enjoy

Hi, are you listening
Hi, do you even care

I talk to you
It seems each word
Goes in one ear and
Out the other

A relationship is built upon
Comunication
That takes two listeners
As well as
Two talkers
Talking and sharing ideas

However you ignore me
Throw me out
Shut me out
I'm starting to feel like
The only one living in this house

We used to talk
Sharing our
Hopes
Dreams
Giving comfort to each other

Now you seam distant
Off in your own little world
Can I not coexsist in that world with you
Can we not be together again

I'm alone
I'm scared
I wish I could hold you near
Everytime I try to get close
You back away
Like you're afraid of me

Why is that
What have I done
To make you this way
If I have
I'm sorry
Whatever it was
I'm sorry

Please come back
Please let me in
I want to feel your touch
I want to hear your voice
Not this silence
Not this coldness
Not this lonelyness

Hi, are you listening
Hi, do you even care

From the dawning of a new day
To the setting of the sun
There within your heart
Is a song

Praise to Jesus
Jesus Christ our Lord
For all he has given us

Sing your song
Let it be heard
From the mountain top
To the lowest valley

Praise to Jesus
Jesus Christ our Lord
For all he has given us

They came from a broken family
Violence
Drinking
Child abuse

Their parents fight all the times
Father wants "special" treatment
From his daughter
Sometimes he hungers
For his son
And when it is not father
Mother wants these special times
With the kids

Why
What have these children done
To be treated like this

Brother and Sister
Wish to run away
Leave and never return
To this dreadful place

But for now
They must hang on
As best they can
Drawing strength from each other

The walls that surround mt heart
Have been there a long time
The coldness of the world
Have built those walls

The walls the surround my heart
were built stone by stone
were built brick by brick
Hateful words
Hateful stares
have helped build those walls

The walls that surround my heart
Unfriendliness
Is the mortar that holds the walls together
Icy looks and glares
Freezing the mortar tight

The wall that surround my heart
Close in
Trapping me in
All I want to do is to die

The walls that surround my heart
An emotional cage
A prison
Death waiting to happen

I won't apologize for the fire in my soul
That burning desire to rise above my circumstances
To better myself and those around me

I won't apologize for the fire in my soul
The world can try
But it can't put it out

No matter what the world throws at me
I will burn right through it and move on
That is how hot that fire burns
Once it's lit
Nothing can stand in my way
Nothing can stop me

Like a thorn from a rosebush
Sticking in my veigns
This world is making me insane
Lord I need your light to help me through

Blood is she'd tears are spilt
For my sins and my gilt
Lord I need your mercy and your grace

Headed down a one way street
Into a brick wall I can't see
Life goes by to quickly sometimes

Lord help me slow down
Give me the strength
Help me take one moment at a time

Passion is red
Sorrow is blue
Greed is green
What color are you
Purity is white
friendship is yellow
Like a good and gracious fellow
Death is black
Like a knife dealt harshly in the back
With all these colors and all these hues
I ask once again what color are you

The trees sway as the wind blows
Leaves fall to the ground
Twigs snap as we walk the path
In the woods in the fall

The air is crisp
A chill is there
Jack frost has made his yearly visit once again

1round of beer
Doing alright
2 rounds of beer
Blurred my sight
3 rounds of beer
Getting a little tipsy
4 rounds of beer
Voice becoming slurred
5 rounds of beer

Who's keeping track here
I lost count
I lost my place
Maybe after number 5
I will just fall on my face
