When it Rains
I’ve waited all week for the rain
The comfort it brings
When the sky is gray
The hidden sun rays
The evergreen trees
The shadow it brings
The feeling of renew
Like the sky just washed away
The dirt and grime
You may not have a dime
But amidst the dark clouds
You are found
The comfort it brings
When the sky is gray
The hidden sun rays
The evergreen trees
The shadow it brings
The feeling of renew
Like the sky just washed away
The dirt and grime
You may not have a dime
But amidst the dark clouds
You are found

Not Autumn
The night air
Has lost its flair
It’s autumn
But it’s not awesome
The airs not cold
The sun is very bold in fact
The leaves have fallen
Yet it doesn’t feel like autumn
Has lost its flair
It’s autumn
But it’s not awesome
The airs not cold
The sun is very bold in fact
The leaves have fallen
Yet it doesn’t feel like autumn

Take me out for a drive
Life’s too crazy
Baby, take me out for a drive
To a place I feel more alive
I like the ocean
And sand
I love to dance
Take me out
Into town
Turn this old frown
Upside down
I’m in a frenzy
Baby, take me out for a drive
To a place I feel more alive
I like the ocean
And sand
I love to dance
Take me out
Into town
Turn this old frown
Upside down
I’m in a frenzy

Open your mind
Let’s say I give you the prologue or first chapter
I doubt it’ll capture
Your attention
Maybe it’ll take you on a spin
Into your locked up imagination
If you listen close
You’ll watch your mind grow
Are you ready to read?
Are you ready to believe
In wonders far beyond
Turn the page
I doubt it’ll capture
Your attention
Maybe it’ll take you on a spin
Into your locked up imagination
If you listen close
You’ll watch your mind grow
Are you ready to read?
Are you ready to believe
In wonders far beyond
Turn the page

One thousand mile journey
Taking a first step
Another rep
One more punch
Another day
Of pain
Feeling the rain
As I train
One mile down
Almost One thousand
I may be out of my mind
But I don’t want to fall behind
For life is one big climb
I may break
And feel ache
But it’s all for the making
Of me
Light on my feet
I remember to breathe
Another rep
One more punch
Another day
Of pain
Feeling the rain
As I train
One mile down
Almost One thousand
I may be out of my mind
But I don’t want to fall behind
For life is one big climb
I may break
And feel ache
But it’s all for the making
Of me
Light on my feet
I remember to breathe

The Box
Cleaning somehow
Made me remember that I was grieving
I opened a box
The one I haven’t seen in years
A few letters brought me to tears
Had it really only been 5 years?
What world did I live in
Back then
A house of laughter
Phone calls
Then it was fall
And you left it all
For a home in the sky
I didn’t get to say goodbye
Made me remember that I was grieving
I opened a box
The one I haven’t seen in years
A few letters brought me to tears
Had it really only been 5 years?
What world did I live in
Back then
A house of laughter
Phone calls
Then it was fall
And you left it all
For a home in the sky
I didn’t get to say goodbye

A seagull’s view
I flew
My wings spread out wide
I was above the rushing tides
Light
As a feather
The weather
A perfect mix
Of sunshine and mist
I saw a bottle of wine
The sun shined
It was a fine day
Then I jump awake
My wings spread out wide
I was above the rushing tides
Light
As a feather
The weather
A perfect mix
Of sunshine and mist
I saw a bottle of wine
The sun shined
It was a fine day
Then I jump awake

Where your eyes gleam
Wherever the ocean sleeps
Where the sky is in between
Night and day
That is where we shall meet,
that is where I seek,
An ocean of dreams
Where your eyes gleam
And maybe,
Just a hint of a smile
The one I hadn’t seen in a while
Where the sun fades
Away
And the moon dances
I steal a few glances
While the music plays
How I love this day
And what I pray
The most
For the song to never end
And the stars to not fall
For I have enjoyed the night at the ball
By the ocean side
I’ll see...
Where the sky is in between
Night and day
That is where we shall meet,
that is where I seek,
An ocean of dreams
Where your eyes gleam
And maybe,
Just a hint of a smile
The one I hadn’t seen in a while
Where the sun fades
Away
And the moon dances
I steal a few glances
While the music plays
How I love this day
And what I pray
The most
For the song to never end
And the stars to not fall
For I have enjoyed the night at the ball
By the ocean side
I’ll see...

You choose
I’m tired
I went through a phase
Where all I wanted was to be at another place
My dreams made me more tired and I
Made myself feel bad
And to add
To that, I became
A ghost, not alive
I tried to abide
To the new norm
Realizing inside
I felt like a storm
I no longer wanted to put myself
Through all this hell
So I got up
Made coffee, did my hair
And actually cared
About how I looked
I’m not letting my past kill me inside
I’m getting off this self pity ride
I have school and work
I...

I loved you
Homesick for a place
That no longer exists
A past
I cannot go back
I grew up too soon
I’d give up the moon
For another day with you
I loved you
That no longer exists
A past
I cannot go back
I grew up too soon
I’d give up the moon
For another day with you
I loved you

Destiny’s String
Destiny’s string of fate
I wonder if it’s sometimes late
Maybe the red string
Got tangled by a stream
In the mountains far away
From the bay
I lay
And wonder when
This strange feeling
Of something missing
Will disappear
Someone give me a beer
Or maybe some wine
While I untangle this line of
Destiny’s string
That somehow got lost
By a stream
I wonder if it’s sometimes late
Maybe the red string
Got tangled by a stream
In the mountains far away
From the bay
I lay
And wonder when
This strange feeling
Of something missing
Will disappear
Someone give me a beer
Or maybe some wine
While I untangle this line of
Destiny’s string
That somehow got lost
By a stream

Lost in the deep
I sink in
Into the deep
The hue of indigo blue
The sun shines through
The breath replaced by bubbles
That float to the top
I wonder if I should stop
Sinking
The further I go
The more I let go
The light
captures my eyes
Maybe, I might
Hold on a little longer
A stronger
arm pulls me out
I let out the air I’d held
My skin is pale
I yell in shock
I met a kind face
His shoes were misplaced
I was lost in the dark
But you were the spark
That pulled me out
What were we...
Into the deep
The hue of indigo blue
The sun shines through
The breath replaced by bubbles
That float to the top
I wonder if I should stop
Sinking
The further I go
The more I let go
The light
captures my eyes
Maybe, I might
Hold on a little longer
A stronger
arm pulls me out
I let out the air I’d held
My skin is pale
I yell in shock
I met a kind face
His shoes were misplaced
I was lost in the dark
But you were the spark
That pulled me out
What were we...
