Once I was the lying kind
Whatever lie came across my mind
I'd stick rock solid hard with it
To the point of going down with the ship

If there was a chance that I'd get caught
I'd double down on that thought
Fabricate till my lips turned blue
Swear up and down that it was true

I would build so tall a tale
Twice the size of the Eiffel Tower
Having most there wondering
If it was French that I was spewing

Keeping people all confused
On if the lie was really true
Giving me more of a chance
To add a few more lies to it

You might up and wonder why
I would tell so many lies
Was the truth not good enough
Was it the thrill inside the bluff

The older now I seem to get
My mind slides as much as slips
Making it harder to misconstrue
So now I only tell the truth

You do believe that too...don't you?

If you ever stop to wonder
If what I say is true
Feel free to take a gander
At what I'm going through
This color I can't escape
The deepest shade of blue

And you'll see just what I mean
This is me missing you

I still wonder often
Why life let you loose
What was going through its mind
I only wish I knew
As it stands right now
I haven't got a clue

Do you now see what I mean
This is me missing you

With the force of memory
Both the old and new
A steep climb to better times
Before all this fell through
Take it all for all it's worth
As I so often do

And you'll clearly see what I mean
This is me missing you

i once was a frog
now i'm a prince
it all came about
from one little kiss

you never know
what kindness will do
i was a frog
now i'm something new

i once was a frog
unwanted by all
where nobody knows
how lonely the soul

everyone here
in circumstance
all need a chance
to become a prince

so kiss a frog
next chance you get
as you never know
how that will impact

I'm not looking for a handout
So you need not turn away
I feel these days down for the count
In need of some spare change

Nothing that's to drastic
Just a little change in tide
From the in as well as out
When it comes to change in life

Spare change in my attitude
In the way I deal with friends
Even those that I don't know
I sometimes need to make amends

Also in my daily walk
Change up my exercise
Instead of curls with a fork
Get up off of my backside

I need spare change in the way
I tend to look at life
Spend it on my kids
As well as on my wife

If there's any that's left over
I'll save it for a rainy day
And the rest above all that
I'll give that change away

Cause I don't care who you are
We could all use some spare change
To make it through the trials of life
We spend time in everyday
