The ElephantThe Elephant is big and strong
It’s history runs deep and long
But lots of Elephant’s are starting to die
These friendly creatures and I’ll tell you why,
They’re being killed by humans all around
Tusks being sawn off is a harrowing sound
Just for those tusks, they destroy the whole thing
For the sake of an ornament, chess piece or ring
So...

Nowhere To Be FoundBlessed and blasted what a beautiful day
Picnic basket lunch for You and me
Cone join us Lord, You're always welcome
What great company You will be
Tell us a story now dear Father
Thrill us all just one more time
Placed His body in the tomb at noon
He was nowhere to be found by nine
He is risen, yes the Lord...

Jesus' SufferingBurn it, burn it to the ground
The crowd shouted at Jesus on the tree
How cruel can anyone possibly be
To make One suffer as He looked down at me
He eyes grew dim, He wouldn't last
In the night to heaven He went home
To be with His Father in all of His glory
God came to save Him, He's...

Why prove it?
Prove that you’re significant to the a purpose that has no
sensibility,
In a world where we conform to that which surrounds us.
Does it make sense?
With this we ponder each day,
That your right is the only right and that the only validation needed
is yourself,
The opinion of others doesn’t matter,
Self-absorbed is the only thing I see,
Maybe,...

Do You Care?How much spit do you have to wipe off your face?
How many thorns do you have to remove after every curse we attach to your name?
How many times do we have to bury you, and you come back with more grace and love?
Every praise we give you feels like a blade piercing...

We humans can be good for wild animals
Their life of surviving hides hearts of love
by showing empathy and understanding
They can change and show utter devotion
to a human who loves them back
and lessen the struggle for survival,
to be on their guard where there is aggression
is the only emotion allowed
When an animal...

HomeHome, home is a place where you're supposed to feel loved and safe.
A place where you can go to get away.
When you struggle throughout your day you know you can go and not feel like a castaway.
Home, not everyone has one of those.I didn't growing up.
I had drug addicts and people who didn’t care...

My NightmareI remember the night he tore me from light,
From the home of a friend to the jaws of the night.
A grip like a vice, no mercy, no grace,
My head in a whirl, blood drained from my face.
He cursed as he dragged me by handfuls of hair,
Shoved me toward steel with a murderous glare.
He swore...

Heavy HandsWith the weight of the world
In your hands
You quickly learn and understand
Dependency is something to be ashamed of
When you hand that weight to someone else
You wanna take it back
You practically beg
So you don't see them in the same pain
With the weight back
You begin to crumble
And all 8 billion of the people
And all...

Her Victory SongPlease don’t hate me
Don’t debate me
And you damn sure
won’t underrate me
Cause I’m here now
Gonna show you how
I can rise above
What you dish out
You call my name
Play that blame game
But I don’t hear you
Cause nuthins now the same
You showed your true face
Left me in disgrace
But I rise above
Your endless chase
I know I hurt bad
I’ve been so...

Taking back what's mineScreams taking up all I own
Screams making me believe I am no one
Screams enchanting him over my sorrow
Cause his joy only lies on my failed tomorrow.
They try and try
To ensure I give up
My eyes cry
For they never give up.
They take my beauty
They take my time
They take my energy
To I can never...

WaitingPeople say waiting typifies your love
But for what cost it means to sacrifice
Lost in devotion, I was just a dove
Emotions I felt can’t be imprecised
Every second felt like eternity
Couldn’t trust one in the desolation
Was not worthy of some fraternity
Could not match in today’s actuation
Waiting is not just being isolate
From the surroundings...

Tomorrow in the SkyBeyond the clouds where starlight grows,
The sky becomes what no one knows.
A canvas brushed with dreams untold,
In hues of silver, blue, and gold.
Each dawn, a whisper calls our name,
A spark, a shift, a newborn flame.
The wind that moves through endless space
Carries the voice of time and grace.
We lift our gaze past fleeting now,
To skies where...
