GOT TO ME
Watching the news and all the refugees Saw blank stares on their faces, down on their luck and on their knees in random different places. And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me.
Saw a kid on the street just living hand to mouth Can’t believe that people turn a blind eye and don’t stop to help them out. And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me.
So been thinking ‘bout how I should now be grateful for my life Got money, job and endless stuff. I’m taking life in my stride. And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me.
I don’t need to ask how ends can meet. Got everything I need I know I’ve got a future and more than a chance to succeed And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me.
So I’m saying to myself , “Am I just someone who turns away?” Leaving it to someone else to fix what just won’t go away And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me.
How much do I really value life, if my hands stay in my pockets If I don’t give a little, to change a little and get stuck right in to stop it. And it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me.
Watching the news, I don’t shut off, I get down off my fence Finding ways and means to lend a hand and shake of my indifference. Cause it got to me. Yeah, it really got to me.
TRUTH BE TOLD
I have a problem that makes me feel afraid. Running so much deeper than the choices I’ve made. Sometimes the right solution is close, so near. Though when life’s kept at arms’ length there’s hurt and fear.
But it’s hard to begin to try to heal, When the hurt runs too deep, it’s so very real. Need to plant in my mind the will to succeed. If the truth be told, I know just what I need.
So I’m ready to begin to resolve this now. Keep my distance from saying I don’t know how. If my thoughts I begin to rearrange, I could win this battle and effect the change.
But it’s hard to begin to try to heal. When the hurt runs too deep, it’s so very real. Need to plant in my mind the will to succeed. If the truth be told, I know what I need.
Need to leave this problem and do what’s right. Raise it onto a high shelf way out of my sight. Now increase the distance between me and what’s wrong. So, I start to believe I belong and I’m strong.
But it’s hard to begin to try to heal. When the hurt runs too deep, it’s so very real. Need to plant in my mind the will to succeed. If the truth be told, I know what I need.
So, I’ll forgive the world, including myself, For not fixing the hurt that so long I’ve felt. I will value being different and take my stand Knowing it’s OK to be who I am.
I have a problem that makes me feel afraid. Running so much deeper than the choices I’ve made. Found the solution it was close, so near. Time to play my part and live life without fear.

INTEGRITY
I’ll keep loose, keep steady Stay on the right side of life. Be strong be ready To defend myself and say why. When it matters, I’ll keep it simple. I won’t complicate what I know. I’ll be myself not a pretender Then I won’t have to put on a show.
My life’s just starting out. I’ll leave out the fear and doubt. Follow the future I dare to see. I’ll aim for the brightest star. Wait for my dreams to go far. Hold fast to my integrity.
I’ll take my time, when I have a plan. Accept all the help I can get. When success comes I’ll be ready. Enjoy my time no regrets. I’ll ask advice from the people Who don’t always say what I want to hear. They’ll be truthful. They’ll be honest. So, I’ll listen to them without fear.
My life’s just starting out. I’ll leave out the fear and doubt. Follow the future I dare to see. I’ll aim for the brightest star. Wait for my dreams to go far. Hold fast to my integrity.
I’ve a right to stay happy. Focus on the strength that’s inside. So I’ll smile, whenever I’m alone. Wear sense of purpose with pride. I won’t shut out the world outside. So life won’t always be about me. I’ll be prepared for the give and take. To aim for the future I see.
My life’s just starting out. I’ll leave out the fear and doubt. Follow the future I dare to see. I’ll aim for the brightest star. Wait for my dreams to go far. Hold fast to my integrity.
ANOTHER DAY IS OVER
Another day is over The writing’s on the wall It’s time to stop reflecting on The dreams that made me stand so tall Now I’m fully awake And I’m standing on my feet From now until tomorrow The sun will be much colder Than the one within my dreams.
I love you so much that it hurts I feel pain in my heart I never knew that love would leave me Standing alone in the dark Now I’m feeling so empty And there’s nothing left to say So as you leave I’ll smile and wave Then turn so you don’t see My tear stained face
See our picture with me Hold it in your head And when the new day starts to dawn On the painful tears that we’ve both shed And I’ll begin all over I will start to live again Pretend a new beginning’s here And dream a dream for which There’ll be no end
I love you so much that it hurts I feel pain in my heart I never knew that love would leave me Standing alone in the dark Now I’m feeling so empty And there’s nothing left to say So as you leave I’ll smile and wave Then turn so you don’t see My tear stained face
So come a little closer Please hold my hand once more I’m scared to branch out on my own It hurts to know you’ve closed the door And I’ll take it upon myself To recall what we once had But when I look and you’re not there I’ll hold my breath, fight back the tears And try not to be sad
