You are my person

              Over seven billion people
                  in the world today,
                and right by your side 
               is where I want to stay 
        I know just what you are thinking
            when I look into your eyes
     and I know what your really saying
     when you let out those loud sighs
      I know what your answer will be 
     before the question is ever asked 
             I know who you are now
         and who you were in the past
          I have never loved anyone
            the way that I love you  
        together there is not anything 
         we can not make it through
               You are my person
              the only one for me
        when you look into my eyes
                I finally feel seen
            no one understands me 
               the way that you do 
      I will spend the rest of my life 
            showing my love to you 
              I want you to know 
   that no matter what anyone may say
            I choose you as my person 
                 every single day

What Happened To the Family

What happened to the family
That I used to know 
once surrounded by loved ones 
now i stand alone,
cousins that used to play 
now dont speak a word 
and when I need advice 
Not one voice is heard
sisters that at a time 
Would move mountians 
With just one call 
Are now just dusty pictures
Hanging on the wall
all Of our family reunions 
now take place at 
the funeral home 
and it seems like we all
forgot how to use the phone
Instead of showing love 
hate is spread around 
and instead of lifting up
We bring each other down
What happened to the family 
That i used to know 
This is not how it should be 
Where did everybody go
grandpa is no longer here 
and grandmas not doing great
Family we need to fix this 
Before it is to late

I was blind but now I see

We have all heard the words
I was blind but now I see,
But thoes words never 
meant very much to me. 
I never needed glasses
I could see quite well
So it didn't make much sense
As far as I could tell. 
I never thought much of it
In all my 35 years, 
But when I finally understood
It brought me to tears. 
I have always went to church
I have always believed
But it didnt quite sink in 
Until God got ahold of me. 
It hit me out of nowhere 
Sitting in my room
If I didn't change my life 
I was headed straight for doom. 
I heard it loud and clear
When God spoke to me
I was not being who he called me to be. 
I was living a life of sin 
Although I couldn't see
Then he opened my eyes
And i was finally free. 
Who I am today 
Is not who I have always been
My life changed when i let 
My savior in. 
Now when i hear the words
I was blind but now I see
I give thanks to God 
for the grace he gave to me

A Leaf in the Wind

A leaf blowing in the wind 
is what I have become 
Im not looking back
at where I came from
Im not sure where im going 
the wind is my guide 
Jesus is the wind 
that always lifts me high
I know i will reach my destination
no matter what the journey holds
because I let the wind 
tell me where to go
the wind keeps away my enemies 
with a mighty blow 
and when Im feeling weak
the wind carries me home

Nothing I wont do

I will walk through the darkness
If it means I can bring them out 
I will muck through muddy waters 
to ease their mind of doubt
I will face the giant 
that stands in their way
If it means that their souls
Will someday be saved 
I will climb the highest mountain
and face the raging sea 
If thats what it takes 
for them to be set free 
There is nothing I wont do
because I have been there before
an emptiness inside 
down to your core 
I tried to fill that void 
in all of the wrong ways 
it did not go away
Until the day that I got saved
So i will not leave them there
because my God did not leave me
Lord give me the strength 
help me to make them see.

Sorry to bother you

Im sorry that my presence 
Is an inconvenienve to you
And that you get annoyed
By everything i do
Im sorry that i walked in 
And said hello to you
I should know by now 
That is a stupid thing to do
It was not my intention 
To ruin your day 
But that seems to happen
No matter what i say
Im sorry i can not be
who you want me to be 
But im trying everyday 
To get rid of me 
I try to change who i am
So i can make you proud 
But even with the changes 
You still put me down
No matter what i do 
I can not make you see
i wish that i could be 
Anyone but me
Slowly i keep trying 
To be who you want me to be 
Even if it strips away 
all there is of me

I am not wrong

I am not wrong 
stop saying that I am
this is not on me 
the issue is with them
I did not yell 
or even raise my voice
I did what I should
but how was that the right choice
Im just supposed to sit there
and listen to them put me down 
they now do it 
no matter who else is around 
I cant be the only one 
that sees whats happening here
but they all just sit there 
grinning ear to ear
when we get back home 
One by one they'll call 
"I just wanted to check on you
That was not nice at all"
Then why did you just sit there
and watch it all unfold 
you are such a coward 
nothing about you is bold
They will watch me get thrown down
Time and time again
and never say a word 
Because its not happening to them 
Nobody wants to make any waves
But im drowning in the sea
They will watch me die 
before getting wet to rescue me

Monster

Everybody wants to know 
how Im feeling today
the reason i have not answered 
Is because i have nothing nice to say
Dont ask me the question 
you dont really want to know 
you just need entertainment
and my life is not your show
you want a reaction 
so you say some stupid stuff
you are playing with fire 
how easily you forget 
you created this monster 
now you surprised at what i have become
aint you so proud 
Look what you have done
I had the beast burried away 
so nobody would get hurt 
but you found the grave 
and dug up all the dirt.
Now you are mad 
You didnt like what I had to say 
I gave you a chance 
You should have walked away

We are not the same

I walk miles for people
that wouldnt take one step for me
the hurt that this causes 
Is something you cant see
Everytime they call on me
I try to always be there 
but when I need someone 
they never even seem to care
the realization I had today 
Made me really sad 
I dont have as many friends 
As i thought i had 
Even though i now know
Excatly where we stand 
I will keep on giving 
Because thats just who i am
the way that you treat me 
wont affect you at all 
Because I will still try to lift you up
Even as you watch me fall

Unseen hurt

I am hurt 
And you can not see
The hurt that i have 
Is inside of me
You cant see the pain
I live with everyday
This is the kind of hurt
That does not go away
It didnt happen overnight
It got worse over time
Now i live with a pain 
I can not leave behind 
i have tried to forget 
The things that ive been through 
It would be  so much easier 
If you only knew
But everyday i fake a smile
Sometimes i even laugh 
I try to keep the real me 
Hidden underneath a mask
i hope one day 
the pain will go away
I dont want to spend my life 
Hurtting in this way
