Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

Still Here..

You looked at me and saw what I never could see
You made me feel more than I thought I could ever be
And when I needed a friend you were always there to lift me up
To make me strong
You're not gone

You're still here
With me all the time
You're still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here
Still here in my heart
In my heart

Because of you I knew how it felt to be loved
You made me feel beautiful 'cause you believed I was
And I will never forget how you touched my life
You made me feel like I belong
You live on

You're still here
With me all the time
You're still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here
Still here in my heart
In my heart

All my life
You'll be in my life
You'll be part of me
I'll just think of you and you'll still be
You'll still be here

Still here
You're with me all the time
You'll still be here
Still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here in my heart

You're still...
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here in my heart
In my heart
In my heart
In my heart
Still here

For Blue Skies



It’s been a long year

Since we last spoke

How’s your halo?

Just between you and I

You and me and the satellites

I never believed you

I only wanted to

Before all of this

What did I miss?

Do you ever get homesick?




I can’t get used to it



I can’t get used to it

I’ll never get used to it

I’ll never get used to it




I’m under that night

I’m under those same stars

We’re in a red car

You asleep at my side

Going in and out of the headlights

Could I have saved you?

Would that’ve betrayed you?

I wanna burn this film

You alone with those pills

What you couldn’t do I will

I forgive you

Make this last forever

Please don't let this turn into something it's not
I can only give you everything I've got
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could

All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong

The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love

We have got through so much worse than this before
What's so different this time that you can't ignore?
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes

And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness
Please just save me from this darkness

And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness

Please just save me from this darkness

I'm here


DON'T NEED YOU TO LOVE ME,

I DON'T NEED YOU TO LOVE.
I GOT MY SISTER.
I CAN FEEL HER NOW,
SHE MAY NOT BE HERE, BUT SHE STILL MINE.
I KNOW SHE STILL LOVE ME.
GOT MY CHILDREN.
I CAN'T HOLD THEM NOW,
THEY MAY NOT BE HERE, BUT THEY STILL MINE.
I HOPE THEY KNOW I STILL LOVE THEM.
GOT MY HOUSE.
IT STILL KEEP THE COLD OUT.
GOT MY CHAIR
WHEN MY BODY CAN'T HOLD OUT.
GOT MY HANDS
DOIN' GOOD LIKE THEY S'POSE TO,
SHOWIN' MY HEART

TO THE FOLKS THAT I'M CLOSE TO.
GOT MY EYES.
THOUGH THEY DON'T SEE AS FAR NOW,
THEY SEE MORE 'BOUT HOW THINGS
REALLY ARE NOW . . .
I'M GONNA TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
GONNA HOLD MY HEAD UP.
GONNA PUT MY SHOULDERS BACK,
AND LOOK YOU STRAIGHT IN THE EYE.
I'M GONNA FLIRT WITH SOMEBODY
WHEN THEY WALK BY.
I'M GONNA SING OUT . . .
SING OUT.
I BELIEVE I HAVE INSIDE OF ME
EVERYTHING THAT I NEED TO LIVE A BOUNTIFUL LIFE.
WITH ALL THE LOVE ALIVE IN ME
I'LL STAND AS TALL AS THE TALLEST TREE.
AND I'M
THANKFUL FOR EVERYDAY THAT I'M GIVEN,
BOTH THE EASY AND HARD ONES I'M LIVIN'.
BUT MOST OF ALL
I'M THANKFUL FOR
LOVING WHO I REALLY AM.
I'M BEAUTIFUL.
YES, I'M BEAUTIFUL,
AND I'M HERE

Alone


There is a reason why I said I would be happy alone,
It wasn't because I thought I'd be happy alone.

It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart.
I might not make it...

It's easier to be alone.

Because what if you learned you need love, and then you dont have it?

What if you like it,
And lean on it,
What if you shape your life around it?
And then, it falls apart?

Can u even survive that kind of pain?

Losing love is like dying.The only difference is, death ends, but this pain could go on forever

Sparrow

Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches
I know He watches
I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
He watches me
I know
He watches
Me







Let me be your star

Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame,
And a face and a name to remember.
The past fades away
Because as of this day,
Norma Jean's gone.
She's moving on... 

Her smile and your fantasies play a duet
That will make you forget where you are.
The music starts playing,
It's the beat of her heart saying...
Let me be your star. 

Flashback to a girl
With a song in her heart,
As she's waiting to start the adventure.
The fire and drive
That make dreams come alive...
They fill her soul.
She's in control... 

The drama, the laughter, the tears just like pearls-
Well, they’re all in this girl’s repertoire.
It’s all for the taking,
And it’s magic we’ll be making;
Let me be your star. 

I'll just have to forget the hurt that came before, 
Forget what used to be. 
The past is on the cutting room floor,
The future is here with me. 


Choose me!
Fade up on a star
With it all in her sights...
All the love and the lights
That surround her.
Someday she’ll think twice
Of the dues and the price 

She’ll have to pay 
But not today... 

Then she’ll do all she can
For the love of one man,
And for millions who look from afar.
And what you’ve been needing
Is all here in my heart, pleading...
Let me be your star!
