Found You

(Verse I)

I'm barely holding on

So I turn to the skies

To try and right my wrongs

To help me dry my eyes

I haven't asked for much

But I have nowhere to turn

I'm sorry we lost touch

But now I have learned 

(Pre-Chorus)

Velvet dawn, help me move on

Part the clouds, undo my wrongs

I need your strength, so I can think

(Chorus)

Above in seas of blue

I have this picture of you

Hugging my mom so tight

Casting infinite light

I watch the pace of the clouds

As they wash away my doubts

Revealing this new found truth

Now that I found you

(Verse II)

In nature so majestic 

There are answers all around

Whispers in the distance

Telling me to listen now

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I'm ready, please take my hand

So we can find the promise land

I'm ready, to follow your lead

Open the gates so I can be freed

(Chorus)

Life Got In The Way

(Verse I)

The city lights 

Race past my eyes

Moving at the speed of sound

Representing the daily grind

Sometimes we're to blame

For not staying in touch

And for that I'm ashamed

'Cuz I miss you so much

(Chorus)

When the years count the days

That we've been apart

I haven't heard your voice

Since two years ago March

I meant to call you, I meant to write

We could've reminisced about old times 

Now there's no excuse I can say 

Life got in the way

(Verse II)

Now these miles

Have divided our lives

Two separate agendas

Seen through different eyes

Now it's not easy

Doing this on our own

But only time will tell

If we're ever coming home

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

We think time is ample

We always want it to move

But eventually you run out

With everything to lose

(Chorus)

Move On

(Verse I)

Sometimes my vision is blurred

Sometimes the lines aren’t defined
On the tightrope between right and wrong

I find myself leaning to one side

Then I see your hand outstretched

To pull me out of this mess

When all I want is to start over

When all I want to do is confess

(Chorus)

Help me see

The person I know I can be

Help me breathe

When all I want’s some relief

Time and again I’ve been right here

Stuck in a rut with a future unclear

Now I rub my eyes to the rising dawn

With you, I’m ready to move on

(Verse II)

Let the past go ‘cuz you can change

I have to convince myself everyday

All the wreckage I’m leaving behind

Is not the destiny you had in mind

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

There’s no better time than now

To cut ties with all my doubts

And walk the path intended for me

Take my hand and I’ll follow your lead

(Chorus)

Your Shoulder

(Verse I)

Can I weave anymore into this tapestry

To make it all coalesce

It seems the parts are always fleeting

Now everything’s a mess

But you’re the beacon to see me through

This darkness I dwell at times

You give me hope when I can’t stand

Myself it’s all in my mind

(Chorus I)

Your shoulder, can it hold me up for awhile

I need a place to cry, I need a place to hide

To hold her, always makes me smile 

Helps me to breathe, makes me believe

When I need somewhere to lean

Your shoulder’s always been there, for me

(Verse II)

You’re a call away but so hard to reach

Life gets busy sometimes

I don’t want much but sometimes I need

More than you have in time

(Chorus II)

Your shoulder, when I need to find peace

And somewhere to cry, somewhere to hide

Just to hold her, puts my mind at ease 

Helps me to breathe, makes me believe

Now when I need somewhere to lean

Your shoulder’s always been there, for me

(Bridge)

These ropes are fraying so I’m not swaying

On this bridge anymore

You’re my rails when all else fails

You’re my support

(Chorus II)

(Chorus I) 

New Life

(Verse I)

I can’t begin to tell you

Where it all went wrong

I tried the straight and narrow

But now that path was gone

Hindsight’s a funny thing

It’ll haunt you in your sleep

They say don’t judge a person’s past

But you’re always reminding me

(Chorus)

Now the company you used to keep

Will slowly disappear

And all you had in common

Was living in fear

So I’m cutting these ties, breaking these chains

Leaving this behind for better ways 

I need to go now and do what is right

Start over, in this new life

(Verse II)

Not everyone can relate

All my demons I lose count

Can love conquer the hate

Can love save me now

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

So much carnage left behind

In the wreckage there is pain

The wounds will heal in time

I don’t want this life to be in vain

(Chorus)

Without Your Love

(Verse I)

I thought it’d be easy to sweep under the rug

Along with my heart there with your love

Now this makes me uneasy all I'm thinking of
So how do I go on without your love 

(Pre-Chorus)

Our love is strong, sometimes blinded

Is there hope for two hearts divided

Everything’s a mess, now I confess

(Chorus)

Without your love I can’t rise above

Help heal wounds that lost so much blood 

Now I never realized what empty could mean

Without your love I just don’t like this version, of me

(Verse II)

You were always there where I could reach

So much taught yet so much to teach

You are my rock my refuge in the night

That one shining star guiding ever so bright 

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Sometimes we don’t stick

Sometimes we don’t make sense

Everything’s happened so quick

I don’t want to be the past tense

(Chorus)
