Believing That You Can

I'm a Fiery Soul Who Loves Music

I'm a fiery soul who loves music.
I wonder how the world would be without it.
I hear the daily soundtrack of my life.
I see how music can change lives and hearts.
I want to serenade the world and make them feel alive.
I'm a fiery soul who loves music.
I pretend that I'm in a silent movie where
actions are expressed through pace and rhythm.
I feel that I should move through the sound of music.
I touch a faraway memory -- just listening to a song.
I worry that not everyone appreciates the gift of music.
I cry a sad melody. I pretend I'm in a silent movie where
action is expressed through pace and rhythm.
I understand that life can be upbeat or downbeat.
I say a song could help you heal your pain.
I dream that I'm synched up in an old-fashioned animated
melody – dancing and singing.
I try to solve my problems while listening to music.
I hope music can be a safe haven for others -- as it is for me.
I understand that life can be upbeat or downbeat.

My Addiction

As I lay here in bed, all alone

I can't help wishing, I could go home

I remember being scared, nervous, and depressed.

I blamed anyone and everyone, but I must confess:

I am guilty, this much I know

But they've turned this all into a really big show.

I tried to fit in with all the rest

That decision turned out not to be best.

My friends were not real, this much I found out

Now I'm doing time by myself, without a doubt.

We all make mistakes, this much is true

I just hope you don't let your mistakes define you.

So I'll use this time to change my outlook
