Love Can Move Mountains

Love can move mountains
And quell the stormy sea
Love lives deep in the heart of me

Love can light up the sky
When life leaves you feeling lost and dark
With love there is always a spark

Love can make you smile on a gloomy day
And love can make you smile
And walk that extra mile

Love can mend a broken heart
When all feels lost and out of control
Love can touch your soul

Love can move mountains 
And quell the stormy sea
Love always lives deep in the heart of me!

Breathe Deep

Close your eyes take a deep breath of air
You have so much in life and love to share
You’re a special soul with wings to fly
Wipe that tear from your eye

Remember you’re a wonderful soul
Now of your life you must take control
Spread your wings and fly higher than the eagles soar
There is so much in life, and your needing more

You have a gentle nature and a tender heart
Now spread your wings and do your part
No longer will you hide inside that closed door
There is a whole world to explore

Spread your wings and fly away
Explore life like it’s a brand new day
Something always new to do and try
Never any more time to hide and cry

Close your eyes and take a deep breath of air
There is nothing that can compare
When you spread your wings and fly so very high
Breath deep let go a little sigh	

The breeze against your skin
This is a battle you’re going to win
Know that you count for the rest of your whole through
There isn’t anything you can’t do!

A Broken Wing

A gentle soul with a broken wing
Life’s toil and troubles have taught his heart to sing
Life sometimes feeling like it’s passing him by
A single tear shimmers in his eye

A lost soul feeling out of control
Wanting to regain his life and make it whole
Always feeling low and in doubt
Wondering what life is really all about

 Wanting to be an eagle and soaring high
Not wanting to feel weak and wanting to cry
So look to the skies my dear friend
Troubles soon will be at an end

Life is not passing you by
Even when you keep wondering why
Open your eyes and see
You are the eagle soaring free

No more broken wing 
Now your heart can sing
Life is there waiting just for you
All bright shiny and new

The Little Angel

i sat in the park today and a tear ran down my cheek
My lips trembling I could not speak
Feeling so lost and alone
My heart felt heavy as stone

I saw the children in the distance at play
All of a sudden a small child came my way
The sunlight shimmering in her hair
She looked like a little angel standing there

Her eyes full of wonder and love
She truly was an angel from above
She smiled at me so sweet
Her gaze my eyes did meet

Not speaking a word she handed me a little flower
I was overwhelmed by the power
Of such a sweet little gift
Then she was gone so swift

I stared at that flower
For almost an hour
I looked for that little angel that came my way
I didn’t see that child at play

Then I realized
Right before my eyes
An angel really had been sent my way
To make me forget my horrible day

To show me the beauty of that flower
That I stared at for over an hour
I looked to the heavens above
And thanked God for sharing his love

For sending an angel my way
To give me a better day
So when you’re feeling lost and cold as stone
Remember you’re never really alone

Angels come to us everyday
In so many different ways
So when you think you’ve come to the end
The good Lord to you an angel will send

To remind you of his love
As he gives you an angel from above
So remember when your having a bad day
God will send angels your way

Sittin Here Feelin Low

Sittin here feelin low
Wishin I didn’t miss you so
Tears fallin down my cheek
Lips trembling I cannot speak

What happened to the love we used to know
Why am I missin you so
Why did love go away
Why did your heart stray

Sittin here feelin low
Wishin I didn’t miss you so
Tears fallin down my cheek
Lips trembling I cannot speak

I try to get through another day
But lonliness just gets in the way
Tears fall every time I hear your name
Why did you play a cheatin game

Sittin here feelin low
Wishin I didn’t miss you so
Tears fallin down my cheek
Lips trembling I cannot speak

Ancient Ways

Ancient ways sing the night
Not of horrors and fright
But of light and love
From the god’s from above

Healing pain and healing heart
It’s the ancient art
Open your heart and you will see
The love that lives in the heart of me

Ancient ways sing the night
Of love and light
Not pain nor sorrow 
Or gloomy tomorrow

Look to the stars above
You will see the love
Ancient ways sing the night
To the hearts delight

Close your eyes and feel the pain
Let your tears fall like cleansing rain
Only then you will see
The way life was meant to be

Ancient ways sing the night
Leads to love’s guiding light
Open your heart and see
Then your soul and spirit are free!

The Son

We must give the Son a reason to shine
He lives in your heart and mine
Soft as the rain drops fall
Do you heed his call?

Does the Son's love live in your heart?
Do his bidding and do your part
Give the Son a reason to shine
His eternal love is so divine

Do you pray before you sleep?
If you don’t the Son will weep
No matter what you choose to do
The Son will always shine for you

No more war and no more hate
If things don’t change we know our fate
Let the love of the Son’s shine in you
In all things you say and do!

Sing Me a Song

Sing me a song when the sun rises with the morning dew
Sing a song of a love forever true
Sing me a song when the sun begins to set
You are the one I love yet
Sing me a song of me and you
A love for now and forever too!

My Pain

Do you ever feel my pain
See my tears fall like rain?
See the tears well up in my eyes
When you tell me more lies

 Will you ever love me with your heart and soul
Of your love I have no control
Its so hard being just number two
When I feel so much love every time I look at you

Sometimes I wish I didn’t love you so much
When all I do is long for your touch
Waiting for you to take me in your arms and hold me tight
All through the night

Making sweet love to you
That’s all I want to do
Don’t you see what’s right in front of your face waiting for you
My heart so full of love so ever true


Do you ever feel my pain
See my tears fall like rain?
See the tears well up in my eyes
When you tell me more lies

Darkness Within

Gazing out the window at the cloudy sky
I feel warm tears gather in the corner of my eye
My lips tremble and my hands shake
How much more of this can I take?

It seems like only yesterday that you were here
Now I live in darkness and fear
You were the light in my life
Now I feel dead and full of strife

The sky gets darker along with the pain in my heart
When did all of this darkness start?
It started when you went away
Long ago on that fateful day

Now I just want to lay me down to sleep
Why must the pain in my heart I always keep
Let me sleep in dreamless rest
Today has put my body and soul to the test

Just one night of dreamless sleep
In my heart dark secrets I keep
I close my eyes and hope not to dream
Please don’t let me awaken to that blood-curdling scream

I gaze out my window, as the sky grows darker yet
I blink my eyes for they are wet
Let me go and walk in the rain
Let the rain hide my pain

I want to know when I will feel life’s love again
I just hate not knowing where or when
My lips tremble and my hands shake
It’s much better to just stay awake!

In the darkness I know only fear
Now that you are no longer here
I want to close my eyes and sleep
This pain in my heart runs so deep

It’s you I wished were here
Not all this heartache and fear
I must move on into the light
This is the only way to make my life right

I long for undreamed sleep
I hang my head and weep
 The darkness will soon begin
I know I have lost and cannot win

Be this heaven or be this hell
I know this pain so very well
I look to see if there is a light
All I see is dead cold night

I fear this will be the end of me
My heart and soul will never be free
I know my fate only too well
I know I’m going to end up in Hell!
