words to live by: hold on for one more day

(♥)

I know this pain
Why do lock yourself up in these chains?
No one can change your life except for you
Don't ever let anyone step all over you
Just open your heart and your mind
Is it really fair to feel this way inside?

Some day somebody's gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things'll go your way
Hold on for one more day

You could sustain
Or are you comfortable with the pain?
You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness
You got yourself into your own mess
Lettin' your worries pass you by
Don't you think it's worth your time
To change your mind?

I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and
Break free the chains
Yeah I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and you
Break free, break from the chains

Some day somebody's gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day yeah
If you hold on

Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day,
If you hold on
Can you hold on
Hold on baby
Won't you tell me now
Hold on for one more day 'Cause
It's gonna go your way

Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can't you change it this time

Make up your mind
Hold on
Hold on
Baby hold on

words to live by: eat up all the gray

(♥)

Bad day, looking for a way home
Looking for the great escape
Gets in his car and drives away,
far from all the things that we are.

Puts on a smile and breathes it in
And breathes it out, he says,
Bye bye bye to all of the noise.
Oh, he says, bye bye bye to all of the noise.

Hey child, things are looking down.
That’s okay, you don’t need to win anyways.
Don’t be afraid, just eat up all the gray
and it will fade all away.
Don’t let yourself fall down.

"The Great Escape"

words to live by: if you just smile

(♥)



Smile though your heart is breaking
Smile even though it's aching
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile 
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile...

words to live by: i was here

(♥)


I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that, and something that I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won't forget
I was here...

I lived, I loved
I was here...
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here...

I want to say I lived each day, until I died
I know that I had something in, somebody's life
The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference, and this world will see

I was here...
I lived, I loved
I was here...
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here...

I was here...
I lived, I loved
I was here...
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here...

I just want them to know
That I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone to happiness
Left this world a little better just because...

I was here...

I was here...
I lived, I loved
I was here...
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here...

words to live by: it really is a wonderful life

(♥)

The snow has fallen like it does every year
The tree I know so well is aglow
And folks are filled up with the usual holiday cheer
As they hang pretty lights and mistletoe

Oh, but this year is different for you and for me
Our own little miracle, on our own little street
Never before have I loved 'Silent Night' so
But now that you're here by my side

Baby, it is, baby, it is
It really is a wonderful life
I'd never noticed that the crackle of a fire
Makes music when accompanied by kiss
And when did I start having dreams about pumpkin pies
There's not a lot that's sweeter than this

Oh, but this year is better for you and for me
Our own little miracle, on our own little street
Never before have I loved 'Silent Night' so
But now that you're here by my side

Baby, it is, baby it is
It really is a wonderful life

Oh, but this year is better for you and for me
Our own little miracle, only our own little street
Never before have I loved 'Silent Night' so
But now that you're here by my side
Darling with you, by my side

Baby, it is, baby it is
It really is a wonderful life
