Stand

What do you do
When you’ve done all you can
And it seems like you can’t make it through
And what do you say when your friends turn away
You’re alone
Tell me what do you give
When you’ve given your all
And it seem like you can’t make it through
Well you just stand when there’s nothing left to do
You just stand
Watch the Lord see you through
Yes after you’ve done all you can
You just stand
Tell me what do you do
When you given your all and it seems
It seems you can’t make it through
Well you just stand
When there’s nothing left to do you just stand
Watch the Lord see you through
Yes after you do all you can
You just stand
Stand and be sure
And be not entangled
In bondage again
Stand and endure
God has a plan
God has a plan tell me what do you do
When you don’t know
And it seems like you can’t make it through
Through the storm
Through the rain
Through the hurt
I’ll through the pain
I’ll hold on
I’ll be strong
God will stand in
It won’t be long
After you’ve done all you can
You just stand

I’ve been obsessed with this song ever since Smash featured it
last week. I recommend looking it up and listening to it!

A Different Story

Do you think something like this
Happens every thousand years?
A connection neither of us can let go of?
You bring out the best there is in me.

Time slows down when I’m with you.
If only it could last forever.
But when you tell me how amazing I am,
I find it so hard to believe.
You only mean it as a friend.

Because when you hold me
I feel a different story.
I feel so much more than what you show me.
It’s the way you touch, the way you smile
Whenever you’re around me.
The way you talk, the way you hold me close.
You’re saying one thing but telling a different story.

This is a song I have currently in the works–current task is giving it a melody. It’s just a portion of it… there’s still another chorus, a bridge and all that jazz. I can’t give up all my cards on my in-the-works songs now, can I?

No stealing please. If you do, I will find you and cut you.

Consider yourself warned.

Let Me Sing

Let me sing.
Let me fill the air with sound.
Hear the music all around…
I’m waiting to be found.

Let me sing.
Let me warm your heart with song.
In this moment, I belong.
Let me sing out clear and strong.

When I sing, my heart is in my song.
I sing of things that eyes can never see.

Let me sing.
Let me set your spirit free.
Let me whisper tenderly
things I hold inside of me.

When I sing, let my simple song float free
to carry me on wings of melody.

Let me sing.

I did not pen this… My voice teacher when I was 12 assigned it to me. I have no idea who wrote or composed it but it is my intention to make it a part of my future album/EP. It’s one of my favorite songs ever.

my soundtrack for you

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down,
but I stick up my chin and grin and say
the sun will come out tomorrow.

There ain’t no mountain high enough
when you wish upon a star…
any way you want it–
that’s what you get.

And I’ll be your bridge over troubled water,
come what may, i will love you…
I will always love you.

Don’t forget to remember me
because
I can’t make you love me
but I will remember you.

I’ve had the time of my life….
so what can I say
when you say nothing at all?

You belong with me.
How do I live
without you
because I love the way you lie?

Raindrops keep falling on my head
so send in the clowns
somewhere only we know.

Nothing about love makes sense.
Please don’t leave me.
Don’t turn around.
Just breathe.
Kiss me.

Full Moon

There are no stars in the sky tonight
For their shine can’t compare
They hide away for today is the day…

I look at the sky, no shining eyes look back
Instead the brightness of the moon completes the sky
And takes my breath away… oh, I wish you had stayed

The full moon is like me and you,
Perfect and whole but only for so long.
Here one day, gone the next
We thought we’d have forever
When we only had a full moon.

Not so rare but oh so beautiful,
Remember the one night where we’d lay
Close by to watch the moon rise…

We’d watch the black sky, hand in hand
The man in the moon is my only company now
He listens but he can’t touch like you can

The full moon was like me and you,
Perfect and whole but only for so long.
Here one day, gone the next.
We thought we’d have forever
When we only had a full moon.

As I gaze upwards tonight, that shining face looks down
It is so complete like we used to be
Deep inside I hope you’re looking at the full moon
But the odds of that are once in a blue…

The full moon was like me and you,
Perfect and whole but only for so long.
Here one day, gone the next.
We thought we’d have forever
When we only had a full moon.

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder where you are
Up above the world so high
The moon tonight, it shines so bright
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder where you are
