"Really like this and how it gives me that bit of humor...still not right in how it sings.

below I've put in parenthesis the extra syllables and in the second line you need one more. there's a way to do this!! But I want you to figure it out.

Make it conversational...just like you'd say it. Lots to think about!

well I could show (you) a map
Draw you (-) a picture
Read the facts
Line by line
(but in) stead of that
How about (we have) a real good time

Here's a way you can rework this verse with humor and also have it fit!

I could unfold this map
Draw a little picture
State my facts
Thousands of times (taking my stand)
But I'll look back
(Knowing when the truth unwinds)
I'm never gonna change your mind

this is NOT finished but shows you all the whacky things I try...

the stuff in parenthesis are other options or lines on the way to the final lines maybe...

Sounds of sky and sea and earth, Speak (in) the language of my birth.
So I'll throw caution to the wind, and dance to the Song in my heart again
Living words enlighten me, create a path to destiny.
Wisdom from the ancient One/ Speaks to me in my native tongue.
Called from the deep,our voices are strong, imparting wisdom from beyond.
Lessons from the ancient ones, guide me like the shining sun.
Rooted deep inside this land lies ancient wisdom from the past.
When I was a young boy, I lived to run and play, then something woke inside me when my gramma called my name.
Rising from the depths of clay and sand, Spirit calls my name and I un-der-stand
My soul is stirred by voices from my past, they call to me from water, wind and land.
Oh if I can just be gracious with myself, like I try to be with everybody else.
Kindness and compassion are gifts of inspiration and I'm finding I can give that to myself.
I never had a problem Giving love away I just forgot to save some for myself.
So… Dear me
So… Dear me, I believe in you
I took a leap of faith and found the light
Since I let go and let you fly
Since I laid my heavy burden down
We will glide on the wind or fall together.
I can soar and stay on course or climb, to higher heights
We could land this thing and come out alright - this time
We can fly this high to the end of time
(My love letter) Is the best of me written down for you.
(My love letter) Words of wisdom for a willing soul
(My Love Letter) Jodi Sharing words of life from my heart to yours
(My Love Letter) Jodi Like a warming fire on a winter’s day
(MY LOVE LETTER) Jodi Is a sweet release from a kindred soul
(My love letter) Jodi Is built on memories and lessons learned.
So... Dear me
For those days that you forget what you can do, please read my love letter to you.
Just believe, trust me, and be you.
Just believe, trust me, and be the light you are meant to be.
Just believe, trust me, and be yourself.
There's nothing that the two of us can't do. Dear me, dear you.
Let's take a chance and see what we can do
Don't worry if this all seems really new
It's okay, to just be you.
Take a chance and live the life that's you
You're free, to walk the path you choose.
Take pride, in everything you do.
Stay strong, and boldly write your truth.
It's time, to make your dreams come true.
It's time, to
And I love, what makes you truly you.
Stand firm, and to yourself be true.
I see, your beauty and your truth.
So... Dear me, I believe in you
Going to chart a new path, sing a new song, write my feelings down where they belong.
I'm a different person now, Think I'll write this letter to myself
I didn't say what I wish I would have, Cause I didn't know what I was made of
I'm a different person now (Merilee) Sometimes we break up with ourselves (John Lee)
Try to speak my truth But we talk over each other Hope you'll hear my heart in this letter
We stopped listening to each other, hope you hear my words in this letter
We don't listen to each other with sound, so I'm gonna write my words and hope you'll hear me out
I'm a different person now
All those words we thought we'd never say, it doesn't feel right leaving us this way.
There's no closure, It's hard to move ahead when I'm stuck in now, but I'll try anyhow.
How many letters do I need to write For you to believe I'll never leave your side LOVE has four, ALWAYS has five, FOREVER and ever is a long, long time
How many letters do I have to write? LOVE has four, PEACE has five
(Chorus) L.O.V.E. followed by O.N.E. then add ANOTHER, we were born to love each other.
Dear past mem-o-ry, it's been a long time, and I feel a little nervous since you crept into my mind.
Humility
Resilience
Understand THIS.
Maybe next time
Timeless
My number one gratitude
We gotta keep moo-oovin' on, leave the past where it belongs. Time waits for no one, we gotta keep moving along.
I closed my eyes, breathed a heavy sigh/ and got lost in this beautiful place.
Been holdin’ on so tight My knuckles turnin’ white Won’t let go until I know Everything's alright.
Been holdin' on so tight My knuckles turnin' white Won't let go until I'm sure it's time.
This dried up desert land, has had its way with me/ I leave a humbled man, not who I used to be.
This dried up desert land, thinks it outsmarted me/ (but) I've seen the promised land, where my love waits for me.
This dried up desert land, thinks it outsmarted me/ (but) I'll die a happy man, knowing she waits for me.
A heartless sleight of hand, this desert torments me/ I held out hope again, and I have been deceived.
A heartless sleight of hand, this desert torments me/ I held out hope again, only to be deceived.
I'm close, so close to home, my blood begins to dance/ maybe this heart of stone, will give love one more chance.
The heartless desert heat/steals my senses/ can I trust what I see/ when I'm defenseless.
Come close, come close to me, let me feel your smile/ am I really free or have my thoughts gone wild?
I'm close, so close to home/ hope is rising fast / I fall on my knees at the thought of being blessed.
Ghostly visions, fill my head, as I scan the desert dune/ a sense of dread as words unsaid, remind me of my ruin.
Ghostly visions, fill my head, as daylight spills on sand / no love in sight, no signs of life, just a dry barren land.
Ghostly visions, fill my head, as daylight spills on sand / I start to dream, of you and me, and the love we once had.
Darkness hid my secrecy, But I could not contain it / In my despair I filled the air with every dirty secret
Every day I call her name across the desert plain / there's no reply, no you and I, just loneliness and pain.
The desert sun is rising, I'm stayin' where I'm cast / cold truth is, I can't forgive, my worn-out, wicked past.
Morning breaks, I'm (still) awake, the desert floor lies still / over-joyed, paranoid, I feel a sudden chill.
Feels like a million years since I set out to roam/ figured I would see the world then take myself back home
A dead-man walk-ing In this pri-son No need for talk-ing Un-for-gi-ven
Tried to drink a-way The life I knew Clear as yes-ter-day I still see you.
Out of place in the land of the livin'/ unforgiven
Is this a dream I'm livin' Am I really locked in prison Can I escape this ruin Or am I truly Unforgiven.
Is this a dream I'm livin' Am I really locked in prison Can I escape and run Or am I truly, Unforgiven
Untamed, unashamed, unforgiven
Here I stand With the damned In the land Of the unforgiven
The desert floor's wide open, The music's good and loud, I can dance and howl with the best of them, Or fade into the ground.
Imagine my surprise, when I realize The soul that they are mourning Is mine.
Ghostly visions, fill my head, as I scan the desert dune/ a sense of dread as words unsaid, remind me of my ruin. Unforgiven, unforgiven. (Idea for the pre-chorus or used as refrain if AABA)
Ghostly visions, fill my head, as I scan the desert dune/ a sense of dread as words unsaid, remind me of my ruin.
Dark figures, with silver hair, scurry across the dune/ thin disguise trying to hide, as a silent danger looms.
I went looking for the meaning of life.
Like a tree in the desert, I'll survive.
Fire and ice Don't mix too well Sugar and spice Got stories to tell
My eyes are on fire, blinded by the sight, of white washed sand and a big ball of light. But my trouble really started when I rolled those dice, cause nothing burns hotter than a sin city night.
I made my way home after two long weeks in the shifting white sand sea. My skin was burnt and my body ached but it didn't get the best of me.
Miles away from the nearest town, I'm buckling under this heat, There's no sound no sign of life, just the sand shifting under my feet.
So come on now, spread your wings, you'll take flight, when you sing.
While the sound turns into what it's meant to say, you can rest knowing that it's on its way, just believe Cause anything can happen when we dream.
A tiny flicker turns into a flame, that flame becomes the passion that ignites us day by day
A tiny flicker turns into a flame, a flame becomes the passion that we live for every day
Up, up, up, let your spirit soar, rise above the noise, with a powerful roar
I'm here to lift you up, you deserve nothing less, we all get stuck, sometimes life is a mess.
You might be the message, the world needs to hear
There's only one way to know, open up your heart, and let the music flow.
Don't be afraid, to let your voice be heard, forget about your worries, share your music with the world.
Wake up you beautiful soul, let your voice be heard, you'll be in happier place when you sing that chorus and verse.
Your smile, sets my heart on fire. You light up my life, in the darkest hour.
I was counting all my blessings when you came to mind, (yeah) I want you to know, you're a dear friend of mine.
(I) Lost my direction, no longer headin' North. Homelessness and emptiness came knockin' at my door.
Used to love those neon signs, flashing colors, beaming light. Now they just remind me that it's dark.out.side.
Feel like I landed in a deep hole, walls are closing in, I can't get a grip. I'm not the type to let my guard down, asking folks for help is, not the way I live.
The sun is shining, but I'm in the dark, feeling my way through the day.
When critiquing country songs, those who are more seasoned writers often mention that there's a certain sound to a Nashville song, that the language needs to be conversational, etc. I've often heard - listen to what's playing on the radio. That's the sound you're going for. At the same time, the song needs to be fresh, original, a subject that hasn't already been written about. How does one create a cookie cutter song that's fresh?
If you were to write a "how-to move to Nashville and get into the music scene" book, what would be your suggestions for housing, networking with songwriters and musicians, and finding a producer/studio to work with.
I'll be there for everything
I love you with all my heart, and I'll stay by your side till the end.
I love you with all of my heart, and be here for you when you need my the most.
I knew this time would come, but I'm not ready to say good bye
You are a wonderful mom!
You taught me to trust in God
You showed me how to be kind
You showed me how to be strong
You taught me how to love
Thank you for everything
I can't thank you enough
You have always been good to me
I'll never forget your smile
Your love is my guiding light
If I could go back in time
I wish I could turn back time
I miss our talks, the pats on my back, our long summer walks, the lunches you packed, oh the memories we made, are alive in my heart today.
what if it's everything
I remember that Christmas (when) you opened the present I made, you smiled as You pulled back the paper and cut through tape.
I remember that time when you opened the present I made, you cried as You pulled back the paper and cut through tape.
I remember one time when I gave you a picture I made, how you cried when you saw all the hearts that I drew 'round your face.
You carefully pulled back the wrapping and cut through tape, your eyes filled with tears as you looked at the picture I made.
Every picture you saved has a name and a date on the back.
I remember that time when we went to the school yard to play, you held up your coat and covered us both while it rained.
As my mind wanders through all the memories I shared with you
I cried hard that evening, as I thought of you leaving this world.
I thought for a long time, about everything that you said.
My mind wanders back to the room where we sat and played
what if it's everything
Things that I can't explain I tell myself sooner or later Things will get better But time tells me that's just a dream.
I'm sad that it turned out this way I tell myself sooner or later Things are gonna get better But time tells me that's not the case
Sometimes I feel afraid that I won't remember OUR moments together 'Cause time's going to steal them away
Seems like only yesterday I was young and I knew There would always be you Now I’m not sure that it's true.
Things I can’t replace I want to remember this moment forever But time's going to come and steal it away
Sometimes I feel afraid that I won't remember this moment together 'Cause time's going to steal it away
Things that can't be replaced, I want to remember this moment forever But times going to steal it away
Wasn't it yesterday I was so young and I knew There would always be you Now I'm not so sure anymore
(And I’m) feeling lost and scared The you that I knew Isn’t here anymore and my heart is breaking in two.
(And I'm) feeling lost again The you that I knew Isn't here anymore and I don't know what I'm going to do.
Things that I can't explain I'm constantly praying But memories keep fading So I'm holding on tight to today.
Things that I can't explain, Feel like I'm falling apart, It brings pain to my heart, And I don't really know what to say Except that I'm missing things
Things that I can't explain Memories are hazy words don't come easy And sometimes I feel like I'm lost in a maze
Remember that song you sang, When everyone danced, and we all clapped our hands, I wish you would sing it again
Things that I can't explain, Nothing's the same, (it's) like I'm lost in a maze, and my memories have been re-arranged.
Your eyes were all red, and your pillow was wet from your tears,
You asked me again to tell you the name of that man, I swallowed real hard put my hand on your arm and said, that’s my dad, and WE'RE missing things....
You asked me again to tell you the name of that man, I swallowed real hard put my hand on your arm and said, that's my dad, and I'm missing...
Your fingers brushed over that mem’ry of you and your friend, you don't know her name, but you're sure she's the same, today as she was back then, and you're missing....
Your fingers brushed over that mem'ry of you and your friend, at a time in your life when your dreams were alive and your future knew no end (and you’re missing…)
Your fingers brushed over that memory you captured back then, at a time in your life when you felt so alive and your dreams lay up ahead, (and you're missing....)
Your fingers brushed over that moment you captured back then, a time in your life when your dreams were alive and your future knew no end (and you're missing...)
Your fingers brushed over those faces you knew way back when, time has passed on, but the mem’ries aren't gone, they remind you that you’re (missing….)
Your fingers brushed over those faces you knew way back when, time has moved on but the mem'ries hold strong, reminding you that you're (missing....)
I reached for your shoulder, you rolled over, and climbed out of bed.
I reached out to hold you, but you turned away again.
You said things aren't working out and you can't go through it again.
Truth isn't lost, facts can be found, in the American Underground, no talking head's gonna bring us down, in the American Underground.
Truth comes to light, facts can be found, in the American underground, no talking heads to bring us down, in the American underground.
Take the pill that is red, throw the blue pill down, join the American underground.
rEVOLution spells love if you turn things around, in the American underground.
Let's dance like we're free and walk like we're proud, in the American underground. We'll rise to the top if we live life loud, the American underground.
When future generations reminisce about our times, will history reveal that we refused to dim our lights
When future generations reminisce about our times, will history record us as the ones who made things right.
Grab hold of the vision and push with all your might, the sky is the limit, if we try.
Powered by compassion we can drive our message home, love is the key, to our liberty.
United in our purpose, we're confident and proud, growing strong together, we live the truth out loud.
Struggling for the future, like unsung heroes of the past, who stood their ground, even when, it cost them all they had.
Who decides what is best for me? Who has the right to steel my liberty?
What is it about our freedom that scares the powers that be? They're more worried about their money than our liberty.
United in our purpose, we're confident and proud, the rhetoric won't hurt us, we live the truth out loud.
But there's still a chance, we'll turn things around, in the American underground.
But all isn't lost, facts can be found, in the American underground.
Freedom ain't cheap, it's sold by the pound, in the American underground.
All isn't lost, (yeah) truth can be found, everybody's not upside down.
I've prayed with conviction, I've asked for what we need, (but) it's gonna take some action, if we want transparency.
Magicians keep their secrets, their audience believes, the grandest of illusions, is their reality.
Today my head is in the clouds, (I'm) looking for some space, trying to rise above the noise, (and) make sense of this place.
The talking heads have been working overtime/ fabricating fear so we'll toe the line
I've been told /more than once/ don't swim against the current/ Making waves where they don't belong is such a wasted effort.
Another moment of silence, another deadly day. How do we stop (all) the violence, how do we change our ways.
POTUS looking sad, tells us he feels bad, offers us his thoughts and prayers. Me, I'm feeling mad, his words don't make me glad, they don't get us anywhere.
Another day, another flag lowered half way, to honor the victims who used to play, in the school yard. ?
I don't watch the news anymore, it's all about guns and war.
Hey middle class man are you tired of payin' for yachts and islands that you'll never see.
The proud ninety-nine keeping step with the times, we're showing up so they can't keep us down.
A shift to the left, then a step to the right, skillfully dividing the American mind.
We yell and we fight to protect what is right, while the backroom players lay their money down.
Look to the left, or fight with the right, cause there's no sign we're gonna find common ground.
Loaded and ready to go
Lost my head and shoulders, found my VO5
Neon green cocoon
Pass the sprinkles
You're free to breathe, free to live, free to love again
You've lost all hope, yeah I've been in your place, so glad someone rescued me, before it was too late.
Heaven danced and angels sang the day that you were born, and every time you take a breath, they're cheering up a storm.
You're worth fighting for, you're worth talking down, your life matters more, than anything else right now.
Just turn around, and take a leap of faith, forever begins today, your new life awaits.
You're worth fighting for, you're worth talking down, your life matters more, than anything else right now.
You made it here against all odds, be confident that you belong, no one else can take your place, take my hand, let's run this race.
Take your place among us, hold your head up high, you are meant to be here, someday you'll know why.
The sunrise in the morning, the moon and stars at night, are shining bright to bless you with their glorious guiding light.
(So) stay up for the sunrise, watch the new day dawn, let morning break the silence, that's held you for too long.
Your life serves a purpose, beyond your widest dream, don't miss out on being, the blessing we all need.
There's no one else like you, no one can take your place. You're somebody's saving grace, they're gonna need you some day
The sunrise in the morning, the moon and stars at night, the earth is waiting for you to celebrate this life.
A cool breeze on a summer day that blows by to remind us, there's a higher power looking for a way to find us.
Deep inside, your light shine bright, one eternal flame, trying to find its way
There's a light shining bright on the inside, all you gotta do, is let it shine through you.
Light shines brightest, during times of total darkness
I feel your desperation to be free from pain and sorrow, let me guide you through tonight and stay with you tomorrow.
The candle of your soul, is still searching for salvation, as long as you are breathing there is hope for restoration.
The candle of your soul, is still searching for salvation, unspoken words full of pain are pleading for their freedom.
You feel you have no choice, cause the future seems so pointlessless, trying to erase the things that brought you to this moment.
Standing in the silence of your thoughts that disappeared, nothing left to talk about, just useless, empty words.
I see that cold harsh wind pushing you closer to the end, take my hand, let me shelter you my friend.
Livin' on the fringe, every day outs the same thing, steppin'inch by inch away from your dreams.
I see you, I feel you, I hear your heart, it's calling for the pain to stop.
Hearts are beating, we're still breathing, that's a good enough reason....
We'll defy the darkness and the heaviness it brings, when we're moved by compassion we can conquer anything.
Let's flow with all that energy and brighten up the dark
It's gonna take some effort to change the status quo
Water seeds of love and peace, like flowers in the sun, they'll blossom where they're planted and bring joy to everyone.
Don't be afraid to stand up straight and live your best life now.
Take the lead, be the change, live your best life now.
Time to stand up straight and remember who you are
We've covered up expressions and held back our inner child.
Simple conversation, without reservation
I need more than rhetoric, I want to know your soul
A longing for connection isn't something to dismiss
I long to hear you share your heart with mine.
Our conversations used to bring us joy.
We talked about so many things and always remained friends
We talked about so many things with open hearts and trust
I really want to talk with you, but it's hard when we're like this.
Words have lost their meaning as they stumble past our lips.
You and I, are a lot alike, both wantin' to live our lives in harmony.
We'll shake it till the moonlight fades, and dawn reveals a brand new day.
Listen to the DJ spinnin' that sound, gonna lift you up, so you can get down.
Don't worry that it's been awhile, you're never gonna lose your style, jump to your feet, hop on the beat, and let me see that smile.
Drop that beat and it all comes back, just like ridin' a bike, wheels in motion, playground's open, (and) I'm playin' hard tonight.
Got to get up if you wanna get down, move to the music, spinnin' that sound
Gotta get up if you wanna get down, just a little move can turn it around.
Forget about your troubles, turn yourself around, feel the beat, get on your feet, it's time for gettin' down.
Forget about your troubles, just spin yourself around, it's good to move, you got the groove, nothing's gonna stop you now.
Shimmy to the music, rock away the night, any way you choose it, I know you’ll get it right.
Adreniline takes over as I shimmy to the sound, I feel the beat, turn up the heat, nothing’s gonna stop me now.
Adreniline takes over as I shimmy to the sound, I feel the beat, turn up the heat, nothing’s gonna slow me down.
Shimmy to the music, rock away the night, any way you choose it, I know you'll get it right.
There you are, burnin' up the dance floor, I know what I'm in for, gettin' down with you.
Pump up the volume, wind up the sound, babe put on your dancin' shoes, it's time to get down.
Adreniline takes over as I move in on the sound, I feel the beat, and body heat, nothing's gonna slow me down.
I feel a flame igniting when I see your famous smile, I watch you move, you got the groove, that sets my feet on fire.
Your smile lights up the venue, that's the only light I need, I can see just what I want to, all of you, and some of me.
A shining Prima Donna, you know how to make me move, no denying, sparks start flying, when you get in the groove.
Your hips will be a-swayin', in that golden sequined dress, (and/but) your smile will steal the spotlight, as you outshine all the rest.
Now I'm racin' for the dance floor, cause I know that's where you'll be / looking pretty as a picture in a high-end gallery
A rush of hope runs through me, it feels good to be alive, (yeah) your timing's always perfect, you know what I need tonight
The moment I lay eyes on you, adrenaline kicks in, you're like a magic potion that my body can't resist.
A rush of hope runs through me, and I start to feel alive, (yeah) your timing's always perfect, you know what I need tonight.
Like a beacon in the darkness, you will guide me through this storm, I suddenly feel life in me, as hope begins to grow.
Now I'm ra-cin' to the finish, I'll put my whole self in it, to be where you are.
I feel it, feel it in my bones, the music's calling me and I can't say no.
I hear it! I hear the sound, it's reachin' me where I am, gotta get down.
My spirit's really willing but my body feels worn, I'll just keep on movin' 'til the beat takes control.
My spirit is willing but my body feels weak, so I just keep on movin' 'til I feel the heat.
I just keep on pushing til my body responds, adrenaline take over cause I want to get down.
Been workin' out - to DVDs and livestream, zoomin' in - to open mics and meetings.
Walls, walls, walls, walls walls, I'm breaking through these walls.
All wrapped up in emotion, gotta cut this energy loose.
(I'm) all wrapped up in emotion, gotta set this energy free.
Won't waste a single moment of the time I have with you
Used to be just you and me, but now we're us and we
I thank the Lord above that I'm with you.
My better half, came to life, when I met you.
My universe begins and ends with you
My world feels complete with you
Guess the past can't compete with me and you
Guess it can't compete with the love I share with you.
My heart used to roam, now it's found a home
Wamderin' on my own, now my heart is home
I used to hope and pray that I'd see this day
The past seems far away, from where we are today
The time I spent alone
I used to dream someday, someone would come my way
The past seems far away
Synergistic energy!
Doin' what we do best
My heart was made for you
Playin' our favorite tune
Got a picture of the future and it looks like you and I
It's no trouble that I'm seeing double when it's you and I.
There's no end in sight, for you and I.
The sum of one plus one equals you and I.
Holding hands and kissing in the moonlight, for all time.
Together has never felt better than you and I.
Move over, future, make room for you and I.
Together's always better when it includes you and I.
I could see forever in your eyes
You're the missing piece that makes my life
I was guided by blind ambition, now I’m lookin’ at the world through double vision.
I was guided by blind ambition, now I'm login' at the world through double vision.
I was guided by blind ambition, now I see the world through double vision.
I was living life with blind ambition, now everything appears in double-vision.
I was heading in a single direction, then you became my object of affection.
Thought I had it all figured out, was doin' pretty good by myself
I don't want to miss any us time, life is so much brighter now that you're mine.
That life could even be more beautiful, double what I thought I knew it could.
That life could be a lot more beautiful, with you.
That all I'd hoped for, every dream, was standing right in front of me.
Every time I walk through the door, I'm reminded that I'm not alone.
Breathe-in silence, exhale kindness, this is how compassion finds us
Breathe-in silence, exhale kindness, let's give love a chance to find us
Breathe in silence, exhale kindness
There are days when I feel empty, just lookin' to survive, and days when hope arises and makes me feel alive
I'll take a stand against brutality, we're not free till all of us can breathe
You're not meant to sail this storm alone.
Fan the flame of hope that's shining through your eyes,
Despair is on your doorstep, but it cannot block the light,
Isolation leaves me anxious, what I really need is closeness.
(We) close our/your eyes and listen to the stillness, rise with all the courage that's within us.
When reality is changing, right before your eyes, and you're not sure how to live a normal life.
When churchbells cease to ring joyful news.
Just reach out, see how far we can go.
Close your eyes and listen for that still, small voice, then stand with all the courage you possess.
Remember that storm the year before last, knew it was comin' but we never guessed, it would hit so hard.
I'll always remember last Christmas, we made plans to meet in the spring.
I don't want a remedy, don't prescribe a fix, you can keep the antidote, in your bag of tricks.
Kindness is contagious.
(You know) I don't need a Doctor, to tell me what I got, I recognize the symptoms, I feel it in my heart (or gut).
Our love is outrageous, contagious and strong.
When things settle down
Positive connection
10 day forecast
Positive perception
Abnormal
Like we used to do
Your eyes are smilin'
Our love is outrageous, courageous, and strong
We're standing on common ground
(I've) been (doin' a lot of) thinkin'
I see your reflection
Looking at the sunrise
What matters most
Essentially yours
We're one day closer
We're one day closer
Pretty sure it's Sunday
Playing on empty streets
One world! One chance! One song! One dance! One sky! One place! One Life, Our way!
One hush, heard throughout the earth, in awe, of every human's worth.

And the love and light, within our hearts / shines even brighter in the dark
And now you see me, and I see you, in a whole new light, from a different view.
I can see the worry in your eyes, wondering if your loved ones will survive, my heart feels your pain, let's join the world in praying for all mankind.
I can see the worry in your eyes, wondering if the ones you love will thrive, my heart feels your pain, I'm hoping and I'm praying for all mankind.
(Better than) Pure gold/ living in harmony/Can't miss/ this opportunity/ to live as One World
And maybe we'll love a little longer, stand a little taller, be stronger for each other, while we learn to make things better
When we say peace on earth, for every boy and girl, we're saying we're in this together, part of one amazing world.
By design, we're here for one another, lift your eyes, discover all the wonder
Lift your eyes, the world is filled with wonder, by design, we're here to help each other
Tomorrow's not promised, but today is upon us
Plans we made last time you were here, are cancelled 'cause the future's so unclear.
That beautiful blue sky, sunlight on my face, a few clouds passing by, seem to wave as if to say....
One prayer, that we will find our way, One hope, there will be brighter days.
when it calls
So when you feel those war drums beating in your head, and you’re about to fall apart, listen to your heart.
So when you feel those war drums beating in your head, and you're about to fall apart, lean in and listen to the rhythm of my heart, peace will find you, peace will find you.
If I am far away when you feel those war drums beating, tune in to the rhythm of your heart, find who you are.
And if I'm far away when you hear those war drums beating, look for the strength that lies within you, I am with you.
If you feel you're alone when darkness closes in, stand firm at the front line of your heart, I'm not very far.
And if I’m gone one day when the battle starts to rage, look to the frontlines of your heart, I'm not too far.
And if I'm gone one day when the battle starts to rage, look to the frontlines of your heart, you'll find me there.
Wish I could turn back time and take away the pain, but life only moves in one direction.
Some things cannot be bought, some things can’t be sold. You are a priceless gift, more precious than pure gold. And you know…I’ll carry you (maybe end with a shortened verse instead of going to another chorus).
Some things cannot be bought, some things can't be sold. You are a priceless gift, more precious than pure gold. And you know...I'll carry you (maybe end with a shortened verse instead of going to another chorus).
Till the night turns to day/ till the fear starts to fade/ in the valley down below
I'll carry you, through the forest to the peaks, where we'll take in every view, and dream our biggest dreams.
(I’ll carry you), keep your hopes and dreams alive, when there's nothing more to do, I’ll still be by your side.
(I'll carry you), keep your hopes and dreams alive, when we've done all we can do, I'll still be by your side.
I'll carry you (Darden's line) when your dreams feel far away, I will circle 'round the moon, if I can find a way.
We graced the skies, let our hopes and dreams take flight, faced our fears with all our might, on this journey we call life.
I always knew, that your love for me was strong, and you’d do anything for me, so I could carry on.
We shared our lives, all our hopes and all our fears, we gave all we had to give, as we stumbled through the years
You'll be safe in my embrace, I'll wash all your tears away, and when the night is through, I'll carry you.
You can rest in my embrace, you'll be warm and you'll feel safe, it's the least that I can do. I'll carry you.
I will be your guiding light, lead you through the darkest night, 'til the morning sun breaks through. (Then) I'll carry you.
I will answer when you call, when your back's against the wall, and you've done all you can do. I'll carry you.
I will cradle your sweet dreams, and I'll rock them while you sleep, by the bright light of the moon. I will carry you.
I will cradle your sweet dreams, and protect them while you sleep, by the bright light of the moon. I will carry you.
I will cradle your sweet dreams, and protect them while you sleep, you know I will carry you. I will carry you.
(Just) Call on me, when the day is dark as midnight, (and) every breath is hard to come by, when you're lost, and you don't know what to do.
Call my name, when the day is dark as midnight, (and) every breath is hard to come by, I'll be there for you.
Here's my hand, I'm right here by your side, one day at a time, we'll make this journey together.
I saw the future through your eyes, with confidence you graced the skies.
When I lose my faith, your love lights the way
Angel in disguise, gave me wings to fly
Every loving deed, sowed a living seed
You poured out your life, selfless sacrifice
(In) darkness and in light, you sowed seeds of life
Brave and caring friend, faithful to the end
Blessings from above, found me through your love.
You and I we saw highs and we saw lows you taught me what I need to know in this life and beyond
Your sacrifice, taught me lessons about love, learned the things that really matter, are blessings from above.
Your steadfast love, gave me hope when I was lost, And I learned when we're together, I'm right where I Belong
Your sacrifice, taught me lessons about love, the things that money cannot buy, you freely gave them up.
I never doubted, that your love for me was strong, and you'd do anything for me, so I could carry on.
Flight 419 (four nineteen) to Nashville is boarding at Gate C. Time to take to the sky on the flight of my life, headin' home to my family.
What’s going on? You know you can tell me. Baby I know your heart, and it tears be apart, that you’ve buried it so far from home.
What's going on? You know you can tell me. Baby I know your heart, and it tears be apart, that you've buried it far from me.
Yeah it's been seven months now, and I'm still trying to figure out, why I feel so alone, even though you've come back home, You're still gone.
Never thought my heart would leave me, on a distant shore. But it traveled half a world away, to a place, it's never been before. 
We started out with giant dreams in living color, there was nothing we wouldn't do, for each other.
I slowly run my fingers down the worn out photograph. Place it safely in my pocket, and cover it with my hand.
We all have dreams, of where we should be, just how we get there, depends on a number of things.
It could have been you, it could have been me, one thing forsure, we don't always know, where the path we travel, will lead.
Let's wave goodbye to the dark midnight sky, and embrace all the grace of the day.
That second of bliss, found in one, simple kiss, transports us, to worlds far away.
With one, simple kiss, we're transported to a bliss, time stops, night drops, away.
When darkness invades, our small, earthly space, we unmask it, and cast it away.
(So) When darkness invades, our sacred, earthly space, unmask it, and cast it away.
The dark, took a chance, but it was no match, for our chilling, and thrilling, escape.
(So) let's wave goodbye, to the cold, midnight sky, and live in, the prism, we made.
Let’s reach for the stars, no matter how far, in that moment, we’re stolen away.
Let's reach for the stars, no matter how far, that's the moment, we're stolen away.
The dark, took a chance, but could not withstand, the power, of stealing away.
So let's wave good bye, to this cold, midnight sky, and go for, the path forged, by faith.
Amidst the eclipse the smile on your lips, shines lighter and brighter than day.
When darkness invades, our small, earthly space, determined, we find an escape.
Stepping back into time, we're no longer blind, our mind is, aligned with, the stars.
Wide awake, and entranced, we break out in dance, as our mind are, aligned with the stars.
Wide awake, and entranced, we break out in dance, as our mind are, aligned
Waking up, next to you, in a rose colored room, I feel weightless, and ageless, and new.
Waking with you, in a rose colored room, I feel weightless, and ageless, and new.
So we wave good bye, to the dark midnight sky, and embrace, the grace of day.
Released from the trance, we laugh and we dance, mindful of all that we have.
When we reach, for the stars, with all that we are, (we're) ignited and guided by love.
Stars are shining bright, a boundless sea of diamonds, dancing in an endless sky, with brilliant new horizons.
Stars begin to fade, the midnight sky is blushing, once again nature proves that, heaven and earth are touching.
Breaking of the dawn, a clear path lies before us,
Courage rises up, our voices become stronger, we join the world in chorus, as shadows run for cover.
Such a brilliant sight, endless illumination, the world is shining brighter, than all my expectations.
Fix my gaze on you, the hero in my story, no one else reveals the truth, like you in all your glory.
Images of you, some secrets can't be spoken, close my eyes and fade into, the memories we've woven.
Leaving time, finding space, Imagination has it’s place, dreams are meant, to survive, and stolen moments keep the dreams alive.

We rise with renewed faith, we’ve been tried and tested, stolen moments give us strength, to face the unexpected.
We rise with renewed faith, we've been tried and tested, stolen moments give us grace, to face the unexpected.
With confidence and faith, we shift our direction, stolen moments give us grace, to follow our intentions.
We rise to face our fears, overcome resistance, we know what we're doing here, embracing our existence.
We raise our voice as one, join the world in chorus, we fought the fight and won, let's claim the prize before us.
We rise to face our fears, light exposed the darkness, obstacles have disappeared, we see the path before us.
We raise our voice as one, join the earth in chorus, we fought the fight and won, let's claim the prize before us.
We rise to take our place, while the world is spinning, stolen moments give us grace, to start a new beginning.
We rise to face our fears, light exposed the darkness, everything is bright and clear, the path is lush and endless.
Rising up to face our fears, overcome resistance, we know what we're doing here, embracing our existence.
We may not know our fate, but we keep on tryin', stolen moments give us wings, it's time to take off flyin'.
Clouds begin to move, the sky is open, nothing left to prove, in this stolen moment.
Walking in the light, illuminates the senses, stepping out of time, we lay down our defenses.
Take a deeper breath, let the mem'ries gather, release regrets, they don't really matter.
Silhouettes appear, figures smiling, playing, memories so clear, a past worth saving.
A voice from inside, screams hope has not died, it's shrouded, and clouded, from time.
Deeds left undone, songs left unsung, taunt us, and haunt us, tonight.
Will despair, and regret, pave the road ahead, or will grace, guide the way through the night?
(When) dread, and regret, cause us to forget, the sun will not dawn without the night.
Lying sleepless in my bed, demons race in to defend their space inside my over-thinking head.
News of war, and unrest, weigh heavy on my chest, trying to catch my breath isn't easy.
In the silence of the night, I hear the chaos in my mind, resolve to get some sleep, if I can find, a way to leave the day behind.
Stepping back, leaving time, shake the chaos from my mind, release the stain (or pain), live again, stolen moments keep me sane.
Leaving time, finding space, stolen moments keep me sane.
Leaving time, stepping out, the sun on my face, I'm in another place, as I embrace this stolen moment.
I steal a moment to re-connect, think and feel, re-direct, nagging thoughts that cause me pain, stolen moments keep me sane.
I steal a moment, to reconnect, to think and feel, to re-direct, my wayward thoughts, cause me pain, stolen moments keep me sane.
Rest is calling out to me, can I afford the luxury, of wasting time, letting go, stealing silence, will I lose control?
Lying sleepless in my bed, demons racing to defend their space inside my over-thinking head, it's time to put them down to rest
There's no space between us/ Right now we are timeless.
So I want to tell you/just how much I love you!
Let's make more mem'ries/ while the clock's still moving.
Before time passess/let's dance all the dances.
Let's enjoy this moment/ 'Cause we can't relive it.
Let's write our story/And share it proudly
Every time you hold me/ we're making hist'ry
So I'll feel each moment/not afraid to own it!
How can I regret any moment that led to you standing beside me today
Every heartbeat reminds me/ Today's not behind me
Every heartbeat reminds me/ we're all on this journey/we lead or we follow/to get to tomorrow/to be with each other again.
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that's behind me/ has been walked out by others/who struggled and suffered/ when their world came tumble-ing down.
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that's behind me/ carried teardrops and laughter/ And sometimes an answer/ to the questions I couldn't let go.
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that I'm climbing
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that's behind me. Carried mem'ries of sorrow, and hope for tomorrow/But nothing was written in stone
Every heartbeat reminds me/ that the mountain I'm climbing/ Is just part of the journey/ I don't need to worry/
Every heartbeat reminds me/ There's someone beside me
Life's full of beauty
Life's not always easy
It's not always easy
There is HOPE for tomorrow/ I just need to follow....
There is how for tomorrow/ so I'll learn to follow
Life's not just behind me
Life's not quite behind me
Love lives on forever
We're here for each other
We're in this together
We're in this together
Tomorrow's not promised
Catch every grain of sand
This world's always changing
The world's always turning
Learn to follow my heart
Won't let you cry alone
(And or I'll) cry when I need to
And cherish what we have
Don't wait 'til it's too late
Like a fleeting sunset
Leave no room for regrets
Make mem'ries that matter
Make each day a treasure
Embrace what love offers (thank you, Keith)
Try to give even more
Embrace what life offers
Like there's no tomorrow
Make time for what matters
Without hesitation
Embrace what comes my way
Take in every moment
Breathe in each moment
Be present each moment
Take time for family, and make time for friends
Keep every promise I made to myself.
Stop by for a visit, make time for us.
End my good byes with a hug and a kiss
(2nd couplet) The past may be gone/But my will remains strong.
I know I can't go back/And find what I once had/if I could I would run/And before that day's done/You'd be the jewel in my crown.
I know I can't go back/ To change what I could have
I'm alive and I'm breathin '/yeah that's enough reason/to promise myself that somehow
Stuck again in the evening traffic/how much longer can I keep at this?
Tucked away in the bedroom closet/ memories in cardboard boxes/ marked 'My Life'/'My Life'.
You know I'm not the betting kind / And I'm never gonna change your mind!
(Keithcurtis) Well you hide your self/ Never mind the reasons/ Feel the felt/ Bet on the line/ (Merilee) Grab the dice/ Throw ‘em for a hopeless ride/(BNC) And I’m never gonna change your mind.

So I show my cards / Lay ’em on the table (PatriciaA)/ Will you fold/ Are you all in /Winner takes all /or maybe we'll share the prize! But I'm never gonna change your mind.
I rest my case / Think I won you over/ (But) for Love's sake/ I'll call it a tie/ let's just stop/(and) Save it for another time. 'Cause I'm never gonna change your mind.
I rest my case/ Hope I won you over / Either way/ Time to move on/ You and I have better ways to spend our time/ And I'm never gonna change your mind!!
So I rest my case/ Think I won you over/ Either way/ let's call it a day/ we can find/ a better way to spend our time/ And I'm never gonna change your mind!

Now I'll rest my case/ Take a little breather/(A) change of pace/(and) we'll be alright.
So I rest my case/ Take a little breather

So I unfold my map
Lookin' for a ray of hope, just a simple glance will do. It's not seein' eye to eye I know, but certainly the start of something new.
I'm searching for a ray of hope, (And) Watching for the slightest chance, to really let our love light glow, let's forget our disagreements and dance!
You and I are so alike, It took awhile to figure that out. When we share a laugh and smile, we forget what we were fusin' about.
Verse 3 re-Work using same phrases: I could state my case, try to win you over, scream and pace, tangled in pride, what a waste, to argue till the end of time.
You and I are so alike, Surprised we couldn't figure that one out. When you flash that killer smile, I forget what we were talking about.
(Edit) Fire away! Hope I hit the bullseye, what we say, shouldn't tear us apart. I'll follow the high road and swallow my foolish pride, 'cause I'm never gonna change your mind!

One kiss and my heart started beating
Makes you crazy and your heart starts reeling
Woke me up, gave my life new meaning.
There ain't one kiss I'd wanna take back girl, you rocked my whole world, there's no regret
There ain't one kiss I'd take back, girl, You changed my whole world, I can't forget
There's one kiss I'd take back, girl, when you said the L-word and stole my heart.
You were telling quite the story about a lover from your past
Turns out it was me
Now That I know what You Knew (back then)
Washed out Denim Jeans
Smiling in the Mirror
Painting the Sky Blue
Far back as I remember we were joined at the hip, our relationship, was one for the books.
