Lifehouse - Had Enough (feat. Chris Daughtry)
Loneliness facing up and down these hallways
Secondguessing every thought
Mystified, just spinning 'round in circles
Drowning in the silent screaming with nothing left to say
Everytime I reach for you, there's no one there to hold on to
Nothing left for me to miss, I'm letting go, letting go of this
Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me too
Now I know what empty is, I've had enough, I've had enough of this.
I believe that love should be a reason
To give and get back in return (to give and get back in return)
I wanna breathe in a new beginning
With someone who will wrap her arms around what's left of me
Everytime I reach for you, there's no one there to hold onto
Nothing left for me to miss, I'm letting go, letting go of this
Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me too
Now I know what empty is, I've had enough, I've had enough of this.
Inside I'm barely holding on
There's something that's already gone
Inside of me a world is in this all alone
Everytime I reach for you, there's no one there to hold on to
Nothing left for me to miss, I'm letting go of this
Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me to
Now I know what empty is, I've had enough, I've had enough of this.
Everytime I reach for you, there's no one there to hold on to
Nothing left for me to miss, I'm letting go, letting go of this
Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me to
Now I know what empty is, I've had enough, I've had enough of this

Hello World - Lady Antebellum (New song)
Traffic crawls, cell phone calls.
Talk radio screams at me
Through my tinted window I see
A little girl, rust red minivan
She's got chocolate on her face
Got little hands, And she waves at me
Yeah, She smiles at me
Hello World
How you been
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel, cold as steel
Broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, a little hope
In a little girl
Hello world
Every day I drive by
A little white church
It's got these little white crosses
Like angels in the yard
Maybe I should stop on in
Say a prayer
Maybe talk to God
Like he is there
Oh I know he’s there
Yeah, I know he's there
Hello world
How've you been
Good to see you my old friend
Sometimes I feel as cold as steel
And broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, a little grace, little faith unfurled.
Hello world
Sometimes I forget what livin' for
And I hear my life through my front door
And I breathe it in,
Oh I'm home again
I see my wife, little boy, little girl
Hello world
Hello world
All the empty disappears
I remember why I'm here
Just surrender and Believe
I fall down on my knees
Oh hello world
Hello world
Hello world

When I look at You - Miley Cyrus - Official Music Video
Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a soul
Beautiful melody when the nights alone
Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy (yeah)
When my world is falling apart
When there is no light to break up the dark
That's when i (i) look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and i
Can't find my way home anymore
That's when i (i) look at you
When i look at you
I see forgiveness i see the truth
You love me for who i am like the stars
Hold the moon
Right there where they belong and i know
I'm not alone (yeah)
When my world is falling apart
When there is no light to break up the dark
That's when i (i) look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and i
Can't find my way home anymore
That's when i (i) look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and i
Can't find my way home anymore
That's when i (i) look at you
You appear just like a dream to me
Just like a line of school colors that cover me
All i need every breath that i breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful (yeah yeah)
When the waves are flooding the shore and i
Can't find my way home anymore
That's when i (i) look at you

Don Williams -- I Believe In You
What a beautiful old song,,,takes me right back...listening to this song on the old stereo in our house....
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Time Space Emptiness
Space
Emptiness
Needing more
Getting less
Ties
Bind
Heart
Mind
Nothing....
Nothing...
Else Matters!!
Peace
Joy
Love
Family
Friends
The heart engorging itself
With love...
Overflowing
Never Ends!
Some thoughts from my distant past...please bear with me....
I walk upon a deserted island
Barren and vast
Searching in all directions
for some sign
Some fulfillment
Only receiving an empty stare
Reflecting back
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Only emptiness
Deep emptiness
Staring back at me
Emptiness everywhere.
**********************************************************************
Babe
My sweet
sweet Babe
I often pray for you
I hope you suffered
little
I hope the angels
came for you
And took you some place
beautiful and sweet.
Sweet Baby
I often think of you
I can close my eyes
And envision you
You here with me
I miss you
I miss you since
you've been gone.
***********************************************************
A Lonely Portrait
Dreams that have burned to ashes
Smiles that have turned to tears
It seems like a welcomed sadness
As I surrender to my fears
The heart that is lost forever
Always giving that love in vain
The painting a lonely portrait
Me~
Hiding that love away
Again.
*******************************************************
Enough
Lover it's not I who didn't try
Hard enough
And this is why I'm saying goodbye
I've had enough
Lover don't you see
The pain in me
That's plain in me
That's plain enough
You're never here to catch the tears
I've cried for us
I've tried and tried to put aside
The time to talk,
But without luck
So I'll just lay this letter
Upon your sweater
And I'll just walk away
And this is why
I'm saying goodbye
I've had enough.
***********************************************
Upon My Couch I Lie...
Now I don't feel any pain
I should consider love again
and not let months and years roll by
at least I ought to have a try.
It's all too easy on one's own
supportive friends -- a telephone
and of course I have to mention
the marked absenc of love's tension.
But memories and sentiment
mean I dwell on what it meant
to love another loving soul
life was sweeter, I felt whole.
I slump and gaze with dreamy stares
remembering my love affairs
my mind is cute and must be credited
all the bitter bits get edited.
Mmmm--some warm man to court me,
bait me
someone smart to motivate me
be romantic, sentimental
intelligent but not judgmental.
Give me space, be unsuspicious
always find me quite delicious
he'll love my body and my brain
and I'll be great in bed again.
I know I cannot lift a finger
to find a love song or a singer
if you could send a man along
well who knows--I might try a song.
But now I have no energy
so brave new man must come to me
it is chutzpah I confess--
could you give him my address?
*********************
Tiger
I was never the man-eating tiger
You always convinced me I was.
You mistook my snarl...
it was laughter.
You misunderstood my claws...
I needed attention.
The tiger golden in my eyes
was the sun..
Drowned in growls of
Storm clouds.
I would gladly have given
my skin
for your
Trophy room...
But you were never the
Mystical Rajah
I almost convinced you
You Were.
Never Alone - Lady Antebellum w Jim Brickman
Dedicated to my dear, dear brother ....
I love you Mark and miss you more then you will ever know.
May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when its time to go home
May you always have plenty
The glass never empty
Know in your belly
You're never alone
May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
As every year passes
They mean more than gold
May you win but stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone
(Chorus)
Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
Well I have to be honest
As much as I wanted
I'm not gonna promise that cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone
(Chorus)
Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when its time to go home
And when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone
(Chorus)
Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
Pink Performance 2010- Glitter in the Air
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care
It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the ice burg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning
The breathe before the fraze
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touch so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?
It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breathe before the kiss
And the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?
La La La La La La La La
There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee,
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breathe and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight

Once Soundtrack - All the Way Down
You have broken me all the way down
Down upon my knees
And you have broken me all the way now
You'll be the last you'll see
And some fight you gave
When I pushed you away
From me
And in the morning
When you turn in
I'll be far to sea
And you have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you'll see
And what chance have we got
When you missed every shot
For me
And in the morning
When you turn in
I'll be out of reach
And in the darkness
When you find this
I'll be far to sea
And you have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you'll see

"I dropped a tear in the ocean, and whenever they find it I'll stop loving you...only then..."
love builds up the broken wall and straightens the crooked path. love keeps the stars in the firmament and imposes rhythm on the ocean tides each of us is created of it and i suspect each of us was created for it” --Maya Angelou"Every one of us is called upon, Probably many times, to start a new life..,,"
"Every one of us is called upon, probably many times, to start a new life. A frightening diagnosis, a marriage, a move, the loss of a job... And onward full tilt we go, pitched and wrecked and absurdly resolute, driven in spite of everything to make good on a new shore. To be hopeful, to embrace one possibility after another - that is surely the basic instinct... Crying out: High tide! Time to move out into the glorious debris. Time to take this life for what it is." - Barbara Kingsolver, High Tide in Tucson
Thoughts of You
Thoughts of you running through my mind.
And somehow the night is not so dark,
And I am not so quite alone.
I hear a dog bark in the distance,
And I wonder who is trespassing into my thoughts.
But then the stillness engulfs the darkness once again;
And my mind wonders back to thoughts of you.
I can see you standing next to me;
And with your presence, I feel warmth and safety.
Suddenly, you vanish from my vision;
But the warmth from your presence is still surrounding me.
And as I drift of into peaceful slumber,
My thoughts are still of you.
For you are not only in my thoughts,
But in my heart too.
For you have lit a light within my heart;
And no matter how obscure the darkness is surrounding me may be,
The light within me will brighten everything.
And I will stay safe and warm with you forever.
Today
I stopped wallowing in Sorrow.
Today I moved up and out of that rut
and BACK into LIFE.
Today I looked forward to TOMORROW and
stepped past
all MY yesterdays.
Today I began to LIVE
Again.
Differently this time.
Happier, Content and Smarter.
Ready to begin.
Today I begin
Begin to
Live Again.

Evanescence - Understanding
You hold the answer deep within your own mind. Consciously you've forgotten it. That's the way the human mind works. Whenever something is too unpleasant, too shameful for us to entertain we reject it, we erase it from our memory, but the imprint is always there.
We wash it all away, we wish it all away, we hope it all away, we ??? it all away.
The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way to who we are
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence screaming at our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time
We're supposed to try to be real. We feel alone when we're not together, and that is real.
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away
Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The light that flows inside of you burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this and I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot bear it all alone
You're not alone, honey, Never. Never.
Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't throw it all away
Can't scratch it all away
Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
? it all away
? it all away
But the imprint is always there, nothing is ever really forgotten
Because I'm dying too,
because I'm dying too,
because I'm dying too,
because I'm dying too,
because I'm dying too

Rachael Yamagata - Faster (Video)
I can't talk to you
You think I'm lost inside my mind
You're like an old tattoo
And I know you'll fade in time
I'm not the girl you think you know
I'm not the girl you waited for
I'm not the one for you
It's just one thing left to do
Why don't you let me be?
'Cause I'm a million miles away
Why don't you set me free?
You don't treat me like you said
I won't tuck you in one last time
I'm taking back what is mine
For me, I belong to me
And I'm going faster, you're going backwards
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I'm going faster, I know what I'm after
I should've been after it all along
I'm going faster
I'm going faster
That's the last black eye
I hope I ever give to you
Yeah, I had a good time
But what's a girl supposed to do?
Take the pictures off the wall
They don't look like us at all
They don't look like friends
I've got new things to begin
Why don't you let me be?
'Cause I'm a million miles away
Why don't you set me free?
I belong to me
And I'm going faster, you're going backwards
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I hang from the ceiling, I feel what I'm feeling
I should've been feeling it all along
I'm going faster
I'm going faster
I'm going faster, you're going backwards
You're going to miss me when I'm gone
I hang from the ceiling, I feel what I'm feeling
I should've been feeling it all along
I'm going faster
I'm going faster

Life Path Number 4: The Pillar
| Those with a Life Path Number 4 are the earth on which everything good is built. You are probably the most trustworthy, organized and practical person you - or your friends - know. Life Path Number 4 people have a gift for planning and following through with their plans until the end (a rare and powerful combination of characteristics). Although you have an idealistic nature and constantly strive for perfection, your feet remain firmly on the ground. Unlike the more dreamy numbers, you are always looking for ways to make things perfect using the tools at hand. You are an idealist, but only in the sense that you refuse to quit until you have built your ideal world. This may show itself professionally, where you will probably not be in a leadership role but instead apply your talents by attending to every detail and ensuring they are completed. You leave the big talk to others, preferring to put your proverbial shoulder to the wheel to see the big plans come to life. This may come as a surprise to you, but you are famous for your will power. While you are walking along not even noticing the effect you have on those around you, you quietly develop a reputation for personal strength that borders on sheer stubbornness. You don't mean to be stubborn, it's not due to your ego - it's simply that once you have made a decision (after careful and lengthy deliberation) it takes an earthquake to change your mind. This is one of the challenges of being a Life Path Number 4: changing paths mid-race. Even though you are very intelligent and may see the wisdom of changing a plan, it cuts to your core to do so: you like to see a decision through to the very end, good, bad or ugly. This may be frustrating for others at times, but shows its beauty in the fierce and eternal loyalty to give to your spouse, your workmates and your family. Everyone needs a Life Path Number 4 in their life. |
Couldn't Have Said It Any Better...
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment last forever
If you feel you've lost your way...."
Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Whether the hurricanes
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries..."
Adam Lambert- No Boundaries (Live Version) FULL VIDEO
Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment last forever
If you feel you've lost your way
What if your chances are already gone
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away
Cause here I am still holding on
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Whether the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
So you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand
And show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
I fought to the end to stand on the edge
What if today is as good it gets
Don't know where the future's headed
Nothing's gonna bring me down
I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line
I've risked being saved but I always knew why
I always knew why
So here I am still holding on
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Whether the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
So you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand
And show you that you can
You can go higher, you can go deeper
There are no boundaries above and beneath you
Break every rule cause there's nothing between you
and your dreams
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
Yeah, there are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Whether the hurricanes
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

Lady Antebellum One Day You Will
Lady Antebellum, One Day You Will Lyrics
You feel like you’re falling backwards
Like you’re slippin’ through the cracks
Like no one would even notice
If you left this town and never came back
You walk outside and all you see is rain
You look inside and all you feel is pain
And you can’t see it now
Chorus
But down the road the sun is shining
In every cloud there’s a silver lining
Just keep holding on (just keep holding on)
And every heartache makes you stronger
But it won’t be much longer
You’ll find love, you’ll find peace
And the you you’re meant to be
I know right now that’s not the way you feel
But one day you will
You wake up every morning and ask yourself
What am I doing here anyway
With the weight of all those disappointments
Whispering in your ear
You’re just barely hanging by a thread
You wanna scream but you’re down to your last breath
And you don’t know it yet
Repeat Chorus
Find the strength to rise above
You will
Find just what you’re made of, you’re made of
Repeat Chorus
One day you will
Oh one day you will
