I saw your sky fall down today. Suddenly turn from blue to gray. Till one by one the raindrops. Turned to tears upon your face. Wish there was something I could do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.... . Well I've been thinkin' about my life. It seems I never take a chance. But I talk about it all the time.
You got your hand on the door. And you're ready just to walk out. Well, the fight that you had. Filled your mind up with all this doubt. . And you're losing your mind.
Everybody's doing it. Everybody's going out tonight. All your friends are feeling it. Whatever it is that makes you feel all right. Everybody knows that anything goes.
Give me one million problems. And I promise I'll worry about them all. Give me twenty-four hours and I promise I'll fill them up. With all the things that are so small.
My friend Taylor she's an angel. Ten years old and beautiful. She's a living, breathing miracle. And she proves it everyday. 'Cause the odds were stacked against her from the day that she arrived here.
I had all but given up on finding the one that I could fall into. On the day before you I was ready to settle for less than love and not much more. There was no such thing as a dream come true.
I wanna know. . I got a feeling as a matter of fact. It's like my whole world just came under attack. And I hear can a voice tellin' me to turn back. 'Cause I must be onto somethin'.
It was an ordinary morning. At the school upon the hill. The sun was slowly rising. The flag was standing still. And the students were rushing to face another day.
Wake up, 7: 32 AM. Can't believe it's time to do it over again. Yesterday, it took all that you had. And you're wonderin' if you'll ever get it back. But the whole wide world is waiting for.
Lately all my friends are talking 'bout me. They see something different 'bout me. All I ever hear is, "Man, you've changed". . Because I don't act like everyone.
Don't be mad if I cry. It just hurts so bad sometimes. 'Cause everyday it's sinking in. And I have to say goodbye all over again. . You know I bet it feels good to have the weight of this world.
So, you're hungry for a taste. Of the other side. Where the grass is thick and green. . But your feet are on familiar ground. Frozen and afraid of what you might lack.
There you go changing my plans again. There you go shifting my sands again. For reasons I don't understand again. Lately I don't have a clue. . Just when I start liking what I see.
How many times can a heart be defeated. Before it decides to give in. How many times can a soul be mistreated. Before being locked up within. . Some days I wish I could make myself cry.
There is no guilt here. There is no shame. No pointing fingers. There is no blame. What happened yesterday has disappeared. The dirt has washed away And now it's clear.
I tried money, I got as much as I could. And I went to the store and I bought it all. But it wasn't enough 'cause I wanted some more. But my house was full.
Tell me when. . I Remember when I was thirteen. I Saw a picture on my TV screen. The Reverand Billy Grahm. and the people singing "Just as I am". and it felt like you were talking to me.
The king of contradictions. Strikes again. You said the last to cross the finish line. Will win. And the beggars will be millionaires someday. And the humble ones are gonna have their say.
Mr. James sits on a park bench. Feeds the pigeons from the crust of his bread. And I come around from time to time. to hear his stories unwind. cause it helps me clear my head.
