In life there will always be pain
When there is pain it always leaves behind a stain
An open wound that never healed
That we’re scared that it’s going to be revealed
That people will see our flaws and past
That we question ourselves, how long will this last?
That we are left with scars that makes us feel like it defines us on who we really are
Are we going to embrace it or hide it away far
So that no one may see our struggles
But maybe when we become vulnerable and honest we will overcome our troubles
That just because we open up doesn’t mean that we are a looser
That we will always remember the past but we won’t let it affect our future
That just because we have a scar
Doesn’t mean it’s going to define us on who we really are

When we go up we will always fall back down
When we’re down it feels like we’re going to drown
Will we let these waves swallow us whole?
Or will we fight to achieve that goal?
Because in life there will always be highs and lows
There will always be cons and pros
There will be times when we struggle
There will be times when we are in trouble
So when we hit our highs don’t take them for granted
Or let our lows become slanted
Because when we hit our lows we need that support
Because life is too short
To worry
And to be in a hurry
So slow down and enjoy the world that we live in
Lift up that chin
And let your highs show
And your lows go

What kind of man do I want to be?
Will I become the man that others would like to see?
Or will I never match up to everyone’s expectation
Will I ever have the motivation?
Will I ever be the man that would make his family proud?
Will I be the man who would join his daughter when she would sing out loud?
Will I be the man that will carry his son?
Will I be the man that his kids would see as their number one?
Will I be the man that will love and be loyal to his wife till the day we die?
Will I be the man that will always try?
Will I be the man that will hold his wife when she cries?
Will I be the man that hates saying goodbyes?
Will I ever be a good man?
Will I ever be someone’s number one fan?
So why do I worry about what kind of man I want to be?
Instead be good to others and put others first and you will become the man that everyone else will want to be

Why is it that sometimes I know I have everything
Yet I feel like I have nothing
Nothing but emptiness inside
That sooner or later there will be nothing to hide
That I feel so alone
That I wish my love could be shown
That I wish I could feel the warmth of someone nearby
That I hate having to say goodbye
That I’ve lost connection
That all I want is that affection
To feel loved
Instead of being shoved
And pushed away
That I begin to stray
But even in a big world we have a voice
And a choice
Should we choose the path of loneliness
Or choose the path of happiness
That if we have someone by our side
We will never have something to hide

Today I give thanks
For the future I’ve been given
For the life that I’m living
For all the people who helped me through hard times
For all the friends and family who forgave me for all my crimes
For the fortunes I’ve been blessed
For all the talents I posses
For the opportunity to live in this nation
To know that we are part of God’s creation
That with a grateful heart comes good medicine
That with a cheerful smile outcomes towards a positive vibration
That we will be grateful for what we have
Instead of what we wish we could grab
That I thank God for second chances
That with Him I have no worries on my finances
Because God gave us the will to live
He gave us the opportunity to strive
That there’s so much hope that he will restore
That there’s so much to be thankful for

I’m tired of all these games
First you say you love me, then you start calling me all these names
That when I get close you push back
That when I leave you suddenly want to get back on track
How can there be any trust?
When you did something unjust
That there won’t be any love to gain
If all our relationship gains is pain
That I know that true love means so much more
Than having to go through this war
That love should never be a game
But should be only given to the name of the heart we want to claim

Some say we don’t have a chance in this fight
Others say we won’t survive the night
How can we defeat the enemy when it’s a million to one?
How can I carry this burden if it weighs a ton?
So what’s the point of trying?
I would rather be dying
Than to face this on my own
That I feel so alone
That I have no purpose
That I feel like the odd one in a circus
That I’m tired of fighting
That there’s nothing exciting
To keep me going
To keep my passion flowing
But when all feels lost there is always hope
So that we have the ability to conquer the highest slope

Sometimes the only way to survive
Is by learning how to strive
On something worth fighting for
That it will restore
A new beginning
That our hope is never ending
That we will fight till our last breath
That we will not fear death
But to greet it with open arms
Instead of worrying about things that harms
Our way of thinking
That keeps us up all night from blinking
Because there’s so much more in life than what meets the eye
That it will hold us together when we cry
That it will give us the will to fight
For what is right
That we will fight for something worth living for
That we will fight for something worth dying for
Because we of all people are worth something and we are worth fighting for

Why live in the past?
When we have no clue how long it will last
Why live in fear?
When we know God is near
Why hold a grudge?
When God is our true judge
Why do we choose to do the wrong thing?
When you have the power to do anything
Because once we see how life should be
Than you will understand how God’s love is a guarantee
That God’s knowledge will be informed
Towards our life that will be transformed
That we will stay true
That it’s not about what we can do
But it’s about what we can become
That our heart beats like a drum
That we have learned to never say never
Because our life has changed forever

Your alone
Just wanting to be known
Wanting that warmth and comfort
Wanting to be protected and not hurt
Wanting to be in someone’s arms
To flee from anything that harms
To be with someone who not only shares
But to be with someone who genuinely cares
Who listens to our problems
Who keeps all of our solemns
Who knows who you are
Who will always be with you even if you have traveled far
Because when you put your trust in God your never alone
That his love will be shown
That you will be known
Because when you let God, family, and friends into your life you will never be alone
