Time to Change

This was one of the last songs I wrote while still living my parents and right before I got married. This is an end of an era poem for me.

Interestingly enough seems rather appropriate for today as well:) Seems like we are always moving in and out of different seasons in our life.


Time to change


I leave and return

Try to listen and learn

Memories I start to find

Closer than further behind

Now I leave wont return

Time to go out and learn

Humble abode starts to change

Instantly it starts to rain


if in new life there is a death

To that’s old, to all you hold

If things cant stay the same

it is time to change

time to move on with today


I walk to a friend

Steps away from door

Small town you know my face

But I aint coming round here no more

A flower blooms a new days dew

Do you struggle I know I do

With when to walk and when to run

They to pace yourself to run


Call you up come on over

I guess you cant I guess I cant

Good thoughts and intentions over

Life ends life begins

This crazy cycle starts over again

Again again again again

A little redundant again again

On and off again again

I guess it starts all over again

Believe

I wrote this song in May of 2009. It was my way of expressing that my and I had come to the end of a rough time:)

I Believe


I can't explain these feelings of shame

that fill up my soul break down my heart again

I want to express the feelings of pain

and apologize for the hurt and the bitterness


you feel like you can't go on

I want to know

I don't blame you

It's a miracle that we're still going

almost like a bird that's trying

to fly to the moon

when it feels like we can't breathe

we keep on swimming

up stream


try to find a better place to believe

we hold on to the other still contemplate

no difference between what we want and what we get

whose paying the discounts

you keep telling me it's the holding on to hope

that helps us get free and you believe we will

make a difference in your mind grow on up and believe in time

that we will shine like the stars in the sky



There ain't no way that I can stay

keep on living likes it ok

is there a chance that I may change

and you believe that there is

we will come to know what freedom is

it's like the perfect way to give

the gift of knowing what love is

not a paranoid fight or flight

not always needing to be right

not catching you in your spite

it's hoping that we might

stand together in our life

to beat the shame back with our light

ride off triumphantly into the night

with our hope down at our side

looking straight into your eyes

believing that your for my life


I believe you're for my life
