I wish I had more positive news
and a more positive perspective
but I am not making my wishes
come true to well these days
Maybe I am just paying some dues
or simply lost somewhere reflective
but life is far from auspicious
and a song of silence plays
I don't want to be depressing
and I still laugh a lot
even as I complain I still
appreciate what I've got
I don't want to be disappointed
I should not have expected more
accepting life as it is may be
what we are living for
Still a voice inside me scratches
at the corner of my heart
it tells me to raise my standards
and not settle in my art
It tells me to trust my instincts
and to reach for what is real
I may be wrong, but does it matter
if this is how I feel?
My feelings are as valid as yours
The world is hiding behind doors
Afraid to share love honestly
and I am not satisfied
So I will ask for more from you
and giving more is what I'll do
to my own self I shall be true
until the day I die
that is how I get high
So I wish I had more positive news
and a more positive perspective
but I am not making my wishes
come true to well these days
Maybe I am just paying some dues
or simply lost somewhere reflective
but life is far from auspicious
and a song of silence plays
Still I will not give up on me or you
no matter what anyone says
I will not give up on love that's true
and making better days
We will make better days
it is so hard for me to trust someone these days
one after another I find another who betrays
still I put myself in positions where I test someone's trust
seems I will not give up trying to find someone - or bust
here comes another bust
into every live a little rain must fall
a metaphor for tears that goes back many years
it happens to a heart that really gives it all
that may be why so many choose to give in to fears
and I wanted to understand
why people do that
I wanted to comprehend
the fear of love
so I give all my love
and trust people to care
I don't know why they don't
that leads to despair
it's the most beautiful feeling we can know
unconditional trust and honest love
it is what people seek in gods and how flowers grow
it is right here on Earth, not somewhere high above
we need to stand up to the rain
and dare to risk the pain
and give ourselves a chance to feel
true love is the realest real
we need to realize what life is for
don't let fear stop us anymore
we need to overcome our fears
and see the rainbows... through our tears
another bust, another betrayal
another loss, another fail
but will I put my heart in jail?
No ... No ... No
I raise my sail...
and sing
into every live a little rain must fall
a metaphor for tears that goes back many years
it happens to a heart that really gives it all
that may be why so many choose to give in to fears
I won't go, I won't go, I won't go
for it's
it's the most beautiful feeling we can know
unconditional trust and honest love
it is what people seek in gods and how flowers grow
it is right here on Earth, not somewhere high above
we need to stand up to the rain
and dare to risk the pain
and give ourselves a chance to feel
true love is the realest real
we need to realize what life is for
don't let fear stop us anymore
we need to overcome our fears
and see the rainbows... through our tears
woke up, just laid in bed
went back to sleep a few times
nothing to do, but still not dead
so maybe i'll just dream of rhymes
and sometimes it is relaxing
and sometimes it is worrisome
and sometimes it is so taxing
to sleep too long, to become numb . . .
woke up, got out of bed
played some Ruzzle to wake my head
though about what to do next
played some Words with Friends instead
and sometimes it is relaxing
and sometimes it is a let down
and sometimes it is so taxing
to play too long, nothing gets done
a smile can become a frown . . .
woke up, got out of bed
just checked my text messages
saw what my best friend had said
remembered time passages
she asked me why I do not sleep at night
I started to get a little uptight
then I answered her with a rhyme
and suddenly as if I saw the light
and everything just seemed to be alright
yes everything was alright
I told her
Every day is good for me because I am alive
Even when I am depressed it's good
Cuz I am feeling and not numb, I know I'll survive
I'd explain it better if I could
I love the roller coaster of emotions
That is what this life is all about
From the calm to the scary commotions
Even when it seems I'm full of doubt
Even when I cry alone late at night
Even when I beg someone to save me
Deep inside I know everything's alright
Cuz I still have the gift this life gave me
The chance to breathe another breath
The chance to find out what comes next
A moment can change everything
That's all I need to know
To get up and take one more step
And realize I'm not done yet
Right now I can do anything
I am the star of my show
I decide where I should go
The wind is me and I can blow
And all I need to know
is...
The chance to breathe another breath
The chance to find out what comes next
A moment can change everything
That's all I need to know
This is all I need to know
To make it all good
I would explain it better
If I could . . .
So I woke up, got out of bed
and shook the cobwebs from me head
remembering I'm not yet dead
remembering the words I said
Yes I got up, took one more step
And realized I'm not done yet
Right now I can do anything
I am the star of my show
I decide where I should go
I am the wind and I can blow!
And all I need to know
I've got
The chance to breathe another breath
The chance to find out what comes next
A moment can change everything
That's all I need to know
I've got...
The chance to breathe another breath
The chance to find out what comes next
A moment can change everything
That's all I need to know...
to enjoy the show.
so the party moods
come right out of the blue
and it's nothing new
but it surprises me every time
I just need to remember
september, october
november, december
just need to remember
remember, remember
remember remember
how to find the party
that is always going on
somewhere in my head
something I said
I am not dead yet
no, still not dead
the highs are always just a breath away
the lows are just a death away
no matter what we do or say
the show will go on
and the music will play
and this truth will stay
no matter how low it gets today
the highs are just a breath away
and it's a wonderful feeling
to know there's no ceiling
and all the emotion
is an infinite ocean
of laughter and tears
across all the years
embrace all the fears
and overcome them now
this is how
mixed in with all the dreams of love
and the fairy tales and whatever's above
there is something real
right here to feel
if you just remember
just remember
the words were said
inside your head
you're still not dead
no, still not dead
the highs are always just a breath away
the lows are just a death away
no matter what we do or say
the show will go on
and the music will play
and this truth will stay
no matter how low it gets today
the highs are just a breath away
and it's a wonderful feeling
to know there's no ceiling
and all the emotion
is an infinite ocean
of laughter and tears
across all the years
embrace all the fears
and overcome them now
this is how
just remember this
a kiss is just a kiss
awareness suddenly appears
as emotion without fears
and you see rainbows through your tears
and the highs are always just a breath away
the lows are just a death away
no matter what we do or say
the show will go on
and the music will play
and this truth will stay
no matter how low it gets today
the highs are just a breath away
right out of the blue
nothing new
