RESILIENT
You're a wildflower in a field of gray concrete
A flash of color in the dark, in empty echoes of the street
Starting from a seed of hope, blowing in the wind,
You’ve put down roots and broken through the pavement like it’s paper - thin
But when you go against the crowd
They try to cut you down
You cannot be broken
You’re rising from the ground
Resilient, stronger than you know
You’re brilliant when
you let your colors show
You’re a wildflower, you won’t be down for long
Resilient, you’re brilliant, you’re strong
A lone voice in the desert in a thousand miles of heat
Some days you wonder how you’re standing on your feet
When you feel you’re growing
weak and no one hears your cries
Remember you are here on Earth to bloom and to inspire
You won’t bow down to the crowd
When they try to cut you down
You will not be broken
You’re rising from the ground
Resilient, stronger than you know
You’re brilliant oh when you let your colors show
You’re a wildflower, you won’t be down for long
Resilient, you’re brilliant, you’re strong
You show me how
When I’m down, I can get back up again
And again and again
Resilient, stronger than you know
You’re brilliant
when you let your colors show
You’re a wildflower, you won’t be down for long
Resilient, you’re brilliant, you’re stronger than you know
Resilient, stronger than you know
You’re brilliant
Oh, when you let your colors show
You’re a wildflower, you won’t be down for long
Resilient, you’re brilliant, you’re strong
You’re a wildflower, in a field of gray concrete.

GOOD DAY
Got my hot cappuccino, don't forget the whipped cream
Cute guy at the counter winked at me
I reach into my pocket of my old blue jeans
And find forty five bucks oh yeah, shopping spree
And nothings in my way, nothings in my way, yeah I know
It’s gonna be a good day, it’s gonna be a good day
Maybe there’ll be April showers
I will stop to smell the flowers anyway
The sun may shine, or the sun may hide
Nothin’s gonna take the happy
Nothin’s gonna take the happy off my face
It’s gonna be a good day
Behind a big yellow school bus the kids are waving hello
And all you need is luh uh uv is on the radio
Driving up to the toll booth, somebody covered my fare
I pay the favor forward so someone else can share in this
Nothing’s in the way kind of day, yeah I know
It’s gonna be a good day, it’s gonna be a good day
Maybe there’ll be April showers
I will stop to smell the flowers anyway
The sun may shine, or the sun may hide
Nothin’s gonna take the happy
Nothin’s gonna take the happy off my face
It’s gonna be a good day
It’s gonna be a good day
Doot doot do doot do do do do do doot doot
Doot doot do doot do do do do do doot doot
Doot doot do do doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
It’s gonna be a good day, it’s gonna be a good day
Maybe there’ll be April showers
I will stop to smell the flowers anyway
The sun may shine, or the sun may hide
Nothin’s gonna take the happy
Nothin’s gonna take the happy off my face
It’s gonna be a good day
It’s gonna be a good day
It’s gonna be a good day

BLUE ON TOP OF BLUE
What made me so sure, nothing’s clear anymore
Why was I dyin' to get away?
I was tryin’ to break free, now I'm only broke and lonely
In the sunshine wishing for the rain
Thought I had a new start, clean slate
A fresh coat of shiny paint
But I traded in a little for a few
Like I always do
I painted blue on top of blue, blue on top of blue
This was supposed to be a picture perfect scene
In the postcard I planned to write
But I'm empty as an echo, so dry it’s hard to swallow
I’m missing everything I left behind
Thought I had a new start, clean slate
A fresh coat of shiny paint
But I traded in a little for a few
I painted blue on top of blue, blue on top of blue
I painted blue on top of blue, blue on top of
Blue-- not my favorite color
I just can’t seem to paint in any other
I keep painting
Blue on top of blue, blue on top of blue
I painted blue on top of, blue on top of, blue on top of blue
I painted blue on top of blue, blue on top of blue
On top of blue On top of blue On top of blue

Uncharted

UNCHARTED
Staring at the cracks in the ceiling
Trying to find a way to my dreams and
Wondering when I'm ever gonna get there
It seems so close I could reach out and take it
Then I worry I might not make it
But I can’t get caught up I just gotta
Feel the fear and do it anyway
No more waiting No more hesitating
No map to show me the right way to go
No satellite, No well-paved road
My future destination is unknown
I’ll find my way in the dark by the stars in the night
By the song in my heart I know I’ll be alright
Open hearted, Living life uncharted
I may not know just where I'm going
But every day I’ll learn from not knowing
Won’t take advice from unhappy people--that's my only rule
They say I should be realistic
I think they’re just pessimistic
And even if it makes me a misfit
I gotta go my own way
So no more waiting No more hesitating
No map to show me the right way to go
No satellite, No well-paved road
My future destination is unknown
I’ll find my way in the dark by the stars in the night
By the song in my heart I know I’ll be alright
Open hearted, Living life uncharted
I gotta learn to trust my instincts
And not to overthink it
Every flower’s born knowing how to bloom
No map to show me the right way to go
No satellite, No well-paved road
My future destination is unknown
I’ll find my way in the dark by the stars in the night
By the song in my heart I know I’ll be alright
Open hearted, Open hearted Open hearted
Living life uncharted, uncharted

Every Day is a Gift

EVERY DAY IS A GIFT
We're all livin’ with a terminal condition called life
No matter how I try fight it, can’t deny it,
No-one gets out of here alive
Every golden sunset fades to black
Never know if it’ll be the last
But I know I’ve only got one chance
To live this precious life
Every day is a gift
Every day is a lesson how to live
Every day is a chance, oh
To sit it out or join the dance
Every day is a choice to lift your voice
To love, forgive, to live
Every day is a gift
It’s amazing how good an apple tastes
The sweet summer air after pouring rain
The sun shining on my face
I love the sound of bells and children laughing
The dizzy rush I get from dancing
My crazy friends, my family
I love this precious life
Every day is a gift
Every day is a lesson how to live
Every day is a chance, oh
To sit it out or join the dance
Every day is a choice to lift your voice
To love, forgive, to live
Every day is a gift
Whatever time I’ve left here on this earth
I’ll savor every minutes worth
And when I’m gone, I hope that you’ll remember
Every day is a gift
Every day is a lesson
Every day is a chance to live
Every day is a gift
Every day is a lesson how to live
Every day is a chance, oh
To sit it out or join the dance
Every day is a choice to lift your voice
To love, forgive, to live
Every day is precious
Every day is precious
Every day is precious
Every day

SAVE YOUR HEART FOR ME
The distance between us can't keep us apart
I feel you close no matter how far you are
And though you may be out of sight there's never a moment when you're not on my mind
Save your heart for me
Cuz we made a promise when we said I do
I'll be coming home soon
Save your heart for me. I'm saving mine for you
I wish I could be where you are now
You're the part of me that I can't live without
You're every breath from my lips I can almost touch you with my fingertips
Save your heart for me
Cuz we made a promise when we said I do
I'll be coming home soon
Save your heart for me. I'm saving mine for you
No matter where I am I can see your face
Like a photograph that never fades
And I can’t wait to come home
Save your heart for me
Cuz we made a promise when we said I do
I'll be coming home soon
Save your heart for me, Save your heart for me.
I'm saving mine for you
Save your heart for me.

THE BRIDGE YOU DON'T BURN
Hard luck times when you were growing up
Left some heavy scars
Now you're living your life like it’s hit and run
Speeding away in your getaway car
Putting out your cigarette in a puddle of gasoline
Every time you leave the scene
It always looks the same
Another bridge behind you
Going up in flames
You say goodbye
Before a word is spoken
So you won't cry
So your heart will not be broken
But if you try with me I promise you
Your love will always be returned
If you let me be the bridge that you don't burn
Even though you don't say much
I feel like I can tell
You're just about done and you've had enough
Living alone in your self made Hell
I can see from your broken smile
You must getting tired cuz
Every time you leave the scene
It always looks the same
Another bridge behind you
Going up in flames
You say goodbye
Before a word is spoken
So you won't cry
So your heart will not be broken
But if you try with me I promise you
Your love will always be returned
If you let me be the bridge that you don't burn
Hold On
Slow Down
I'm here
Be here with me Be here with me now
Don’t say goodbye
Before a word is spoken
Don’t have to cry
Your heart will not be broken
Cuz if you try with me I promise you
Your love will always be returned
If you let me
Don’t say goodbye
Before a word is spoken
Don’t have to cry
Your heart will not be broken
Cuz if you try with me I promise you
Your love will always be returned
If you let me be the bridge that you don't burn

LOVE SWEET LOVE
You taught me how to laugh again
You showed my feet how to dance again
You made my heart beat fast again
With your love sweet love
You put the twinkle in my eye again
You brought the swagger to my stride again
And every day I thank my lucky stars above
For your love sweet love
You give me love
You give me love sweet love
In the middle of a crowd
You make me giggle right out loud
It’s astounding how my walls come tumbling down
With your love sweet love
You give me love
You give me love
You give me love, love sweet love
Lonely used to be my closest friend
But he ain’t been around here, since I don’t remember when
Cuz you took the worry from my brow
You believed in me and you showed me how to love sweet love
You put the sunshine in my skies again
You make me glad to be alive again
I hope we never have to part, ‘cuz who would fix my broken heart
With love, sweet
Love
You give me love
You give me love, love sweet love
Sweet love

Come Back to Me

COME BACK TO ME
Waiting, by the window waiting
Memories of you fading
Come back to me
Raindrops, flowing down like rivers
Rivers full of teardrops
Come back to me
Come back, come back
Come back, come back to me
Emptiness, I am filled with emptiness
You took my heart and left the rest
Come back to me
Now every song reminds me you’ve been gone too long
Without you everything is wrong
Come back to me
Come back, come back
Come back, come back to me
Come back to me
Cuz since you've gone the world is cold, the colors turned to gray
My eyes can't smile, my mouth can't even speak to say your name and
I can’t breathe, come back to me, come back to me
Come back, come back
Come back, come back to me
Come back, come back
Come back, come back to me
Come back to me
Waiting, by the window waiting
