Believer
He never believed in anything
like miracles and such,
for him it seemed like the whole
world suddenly lost all touch.
He saw a world in chaos
He saw a world at war,
He used to believe in peace on Earth
but now that doesn't exist anymore.
One day he went for a walk
just to clear his head,
then he saw someone having trouble
with their car, instead of ignoring them,
he helped them out instead.
When he opened the hood
it was worse than he thought
after looking at the transmission
he could tell it was completely shot.
So piece by piece
he took that engine apart
put it back together,
then that engine once again
would start.
He tried to pay his rescuer,
who helped him
when he was down and out,
but his rescuer refused the money
and said, " That's not what helping
your fellow man is all about.
He put the money back in his wallet,
astonished in what the man had to say,
now he beleives in miracles
because of what happened
one amazing day.
The Devil's Mission
Welcome to your nightmare,
where your worst fears come true,
the devil has a list of his most wanted
and at the top is you.
Are you in danger?
is he getting inside your head?,
the devil's got your soul
He's just waitin' til you're dead.
Are you in danger?
do you have anything to fear?,
no since in running now
'cause he's already here.
Will you go quietly?
Will you put up a fight?
the devil's getting closer
and he's got you in his site.
Will you be captured ?,
will you escape?
it's hard to tell,
you're just one more lost soul
locked behind the gates of hell.
I Deserve Better
You said, " My Heart Bleeds For You"
but that was just a lie,
because you tore my Heart to pieces
and left it out to dry.
How did things end up this way?,
that's something I'd like to know,
when I gave you all my love
why didn't you let yours show?
My Heart isn't something to play with,
My Heart is not a toy,
How could the sound of my breaking heart
bring you so much joy?
How could you play with my heart?,
How could you ever hurt me?,
if you didn't mean it
when you said you loved me,
why didn't you just let me be?
I've decided to walk away from it all,
'cause I've come to one conclusion
why should I give you all my love
when your love for me
was just an illusion.
A Dusty Heart
Woke up one mornin'
all by myself
Picked up an old picture
from a dusty shelf.
Who were those people
looking back at me?,
what could have been
was just not meant to be.
Whatever happened
came from out of the blue,
now I'm standing here
but it's without you.
My heart is breaking
my life is a mess
can we work things out?
it's anyones guess.
What should have been
just wasn't to be,
but I'll be thinking of you
will you be thinking of me ?
Who's at fault?,
Who's to blame?,
doesn't really matter
'cause in the end
it's all the same.
Dusted off that picture,
Dusted off that shelf,
just another lonely night
all by myself.
The Voice Of An Angel
When she was born,
they didn't give her a chance
born pre-mature with legs
so frail, she'd never learn
how to dance.
But she was a fighter,
she wouldn't give in
while dreams of her dancing
would come to an end
another would begin.
Then one night
she started to hum
little did they know
there was more to come.
Ten years later
she went to a talent show
just to try out,
her parents knew she would win
this they had no doubt.
Confined to a wheelchair
she came out on stage
opened up her songbook
and turned the page.
Like an Angel
she looked so proud
and when she started singing
there wasn't a dry eye among the crowd.
She got a standing ovation,
and as the audience wiped
back their tears,
that beautiful Angel
just suddenly disappeared.
Where did she come from?
everyone wanted to know,
how did she get here?,
and where did she go?
A beautiful Angel
never given a chance
and now because of her beautiful voice
anybody can dance.
Ten Years In The Making
On a cool September morning
when the Twin Towers would fall
while many Americans were in mourning
some answered the call.
That was ten years ago,
now our men and women
are finally coming back
from that sandbox in the Middle East
that they call Iraq.
The battle was tough,
the battle was long,
but they are the best of the best
and they have righted a wrong.
They come home with heavy hearts
with thoughts of their brothers and sisters
that they lost, they were fathers , sons, brothers,
mothers, sisters, daughters and wives
knowing that with their lives they may have to pay
'cause in a war that is the ultimate cost.
They missed holidays, and barbecues,
anniversaries and birthdays,
we owe them all so much
and in so many differant ways.
If you want to honor our soldiers
for everything that they do
when you see them ,
give them a handshake or a hug
and simply tell them " Thank-You!"
Coming Home
Sometime ago I went away
because of what happend
one cool September day.
I went away
to a strange land
when I get home
I'll explain why
and I hope you'll understand
I was one of many
that held their head up high
while in a crowd,
I was a soldier that served their country
and for that I am proud.
I can't wait to come home
to our great land
I've accomplished my mission
and can't wait to leave
this hot desert sand.
When I get back
I'll tell you about the people I met
and all the places that I'd roam
I'll have a lifetime to share it with you
because your (Mommy/Daddy)
is coming home.
'Twas The Night Before Christmas 2011
'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the land,
all the children have fewer presents
in their cute little hands.
With funds so low
and unemployment so high
instead of smiles and laughter
there will be tears and cries.
As Santa flies over
with his reindeer and sleigh
houses are now empty
where families used to stay.
As he got on his sleigh
and flew out of sight
I heard him exclaim
"This Is Just Too Sad,
I'm Going Home Early Tonight."
