My Way
Ever since I can remember
My heart was always full of dreams
My mind was set on climbing mountains
A challenge always seems to tickle me
Like a child so full of wonder
Who always has to take a fall
You cry your eyes out until there’s something
That makes you forget about it all
If I had it all my way
What kind of woman would I be today
No challenges to overcome
No mistakes to grow and learn from
Rejection followed with devastation
But it also thickened my skin
I didn’t get all the things I prayed for
But I picked myself up and tried again
If I had it all my way
What kind of woman would I be today
No challenges to overcome
No mistakes to grow and learn from
I know hard times made me grow
I will keep on dreaming
As long as I’m happy in my heart and soul
Them my goals I’ll be achieving
If I had it all my way
What kind of woman would I be today
No challenges to overcome
No mistakes to grow and learn from
We all know hard times make us grow
Share The Love (It's Alright)
They say I set my sights too high
Always want the greener side
Call me starry eyed
But it’s alright
I’d rather visualize my life working out just right
Than to worry all the time and that’s alright
I don’t like the kinda thoughts
That hold me back from what I want
You usually get what you’re thinking of
So shed the fear and share the love
My daddy always said to me
You get what you give
Always be positive
And it’ll be alright
And he told me you can do anything you put your mind into
Falling down’s a part of life and it’s alright
I don’t like the kinda thoughts
That hold me back from what I want
You usually get what you’re thinking of
So shed the fear and share the love
Alright it’s alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
Alright it’s alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
I don’t like the kinda thoughts
That hold me back from what I want
There’s always a choice between fear and love
You usually get what you’re thinking of
Alright it’s alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
Alright it’s alright
Everything will be alright
Alright it’s alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
You usually get what you’re thinking of
So shed the fear and share the love
11 Years
We kissed the moon goodnight so bright and full and round
And the morning sun came bursting through the puffy clouds
The air is crisp on my smiling face
Steps to the sand lift me to a heavenly place
11 years ago today
I stood marveling at your beautiful face
Afraid to tell you how I felt
Your puffy lips made my heart melt
You smiled like the morning light, held my hand for the first time
Knees were trembling but I wasn’t afraid, joy was bursting from my skin
There the tale of love begins
With the full moon above and our giddy grins
11 years ago today
I stood marveling at your beautiful face
Afraid to tell you how I felt
Your puffy lips made my heart melt
The sunshine trickles down our heads, our shoulders, all around
The birds sing in my ear, still in love after all these years
11 years ago today
I stood marveling at your beautiful face
Afraid to tell you how I felt
Your puffy lips made my heart melt
Blame Me
Go on and give it to me
Give me all you got
All the insults you can muster
Go on and cough em’ up
Stab me with your words
Scream at me in rage
Tell me how intentionally
Cruel I behave
Blame it on me
Blame it all on me
You’ll never see how you turned out to be
So go on, blame me
Blame it all on me
Never mind the years I spent
Giving support and encouragement
Seems I played the fool
Giving all I had to you
So bring it on
I’m never good enough
Just a control freak who’s giving up
Your lack of passion is because
I didn’t inspire you enough
Blame it on me
Blame it all on me
You’ll never see how you turned out to be
So go on, blame me
Blame it all on me
Forget my honesty
Forget about integrity
I never gave you a chance
And I got no dignity, so
Blame it on me
Blame it all on me
You’ll never see how you turned out to be
So go on, blame me
Blame it all on me
Ever since I can remember
My heart was always full of dreams
My mind was set on climbing mountains
A challenge always seems to tickle me
Like a child so full of wonder
Who always has to take a fall
You cry your eyes out until there’s something

Bare Bones
I met you when I was barely seventeen
Shaped like a woman, just a kid underneath
You saw me take my first steps in the real world
Saw it slap my face, fists clench, toes curl
You’ve seen me smile and seen me cry
Seen parts of me I wished I could hide
All my bare bones are being exposed
There ain’t a thing about me you don’t already know
You’ve seen me talk through my tears, walk through fears and woes
Stripped all the way down to my bare bones
You gave me strength when I felt life’s pain
Believed in me when I hung my head in shame
Swallowed your pride to stay by my side for a while
Wrote me little love notes to see my smile
You’ve seen me high and seen my cry
Seen parts of me I tried to hide
All my bare bones are being exposed
There ain’t a thing about me you don’t already know
You’ve seen me talk through my tears, walk through fears and woes
Stripped all the way down to my bare bones
Oh you know everything there is to know about me
Been through the ugliness but see the beauty
When there’s so much love there’s always pain
But the sky shines brighter after the rain
All my bare bones are being exposed
There ain’t a thing about me you don’t already know
You’ve seen me talk through my tears, walk through fears and woes
Stripped all the way down to my bare bones
Tiny Island
Pink and yellow, brown and white
Glistening trees in morning light
Sparkly sea, boats that sail
Heart rate slows with each inhale
All alone but so complete
On this tiny island
We’ll lay in the street
And watch the stars, find the milky way
On this tiny island
We’ll lay all day
Birds are trading thier melodies
Singing about island memories
Remembering love that sparked in the past
Beautiful you made it last and last
All alone but so complete
On this tiny island
We’ll lay in the street
And watch the stars, find the milky way
On this tiny island
We’ll lay all day
Your love lingers inside of me like the wind chimes sing because of the breeze
I’m humming like a hummingbird and shining like gold
All alone but so complete
On this tiny island
We’ll lay in the street
And watch the stars, find the milky way
On this tiny island
We’ll lay all day
Your love lingers inside of me like the wind chimes sing because of the breeze
Vicious Spell
Standing in the doorway
Reflecting on the night
He opened all her doors
And said everything right
She wore a long red dress
Her back was bare
She had a little yellow
Canary in her hair who sang
Could it be he’ll make her happy
Make her fall in love again
Could he break the vicious spell
Of attracting vicious men
She said goodnight
Without inviting him inside
Likes to have her quiet nights
Grown used to them all right
A little afraid
If it moves too fast
He’ll turn into somebody who’s
Promises won’t last
Could it be he’ll make her happy
Make her fall in love again
Could he break the vicious spell
Of attracting vicious men
Oh will she ever find love
Or is she too damaged to open up?
Her love’s got to come from within
Before a good man can find his way in
Could it be he’ll make her happy
Make her fall in love again
Could he break the vicious spell
Of attracting vicious men
So Grateful
Noticing all the synchronicity all around
Opening to the subtle energy where magic can be found
And I take a deep breath and fill my cells with positivity
Breathe out all that I don’t need, I’m gonna set my sprit free
And I say
I’m so grateful for this life
I’m so grateful for the people in in it
Grateful for mistakes I’ve made
So I can learn to grow from them
Hands together at my heart
I feel the light within me shine and know we’re all one
I’m so grateful for the sun, I’m so grateful
I’m so grateful for the light, I’m so grateful
Making conscious choices to free my shadows every day
Eliminate negative patterns that only get in my way
‘Cause when I fall, I spiral down, sink my head below the ground
What pulls me out of a deep down funk is looking at the good all around
And I say
I’m so grateful for this life
I’m so grateful for the people in in it
Grateful for mistakes I’ve made
So I can learn to grow from them
Hands together at my heart
I feel the light within me shine and know we’re all one
I’m so grateful for the sun, I’m so grateful
I’m so grateful for the light, I’m so grateful
It’s all in the game
It’s all in my mind frame
and what I choose to do with my attitude
I can look at the pain
drown myself in the rain
or let it go and find the rainbow
I’m so grateful for this life
I’m so grateful for the people in in it
Grateful for mistakes I’ve made
So I can learn to grow from them
Hands together at my heart
I feel the light within me shine and know we’re all one
I’m so grateful for the sun, I’m so grateful
I’m so grateful for the light, I’m so grateful
I met you when I was barely seventeen
Shaped like a woman, just a kid underneath
You saw me take my first steps in the real world
