Day One

DAY ONE
shawna ray

Yesterday went from bad to worse
The toilet clogged and the squad was called
Talked to my family, we played a game
Of touched you last with hurtful words

Am I hard to love or is it just
Enough is enough?
Do I self destruct? Or is it just
Some things need cooled off?
I'm sending out a dove to find new love
Starting from - day one
Day one

Seeing things more clearly now
The rain is gone, rainbow appears
On my own and steering clear of
People always speaking fears

Am I push and shove or is it just
that I'm not going down?
Do I suck at love? Or is it just
that I have learned the difference
I'm sending out a song to move along 
Starting from - day one
Day one

Where do I want to go from here?
What footprints do I leave and follow?
What if I have to part with
Friends and family I knew before?

Am I hard to like or is it just
that I want more in life?
Do I think I'm smart? Or is it just
that I've been playing stupid
Sending out the dove to find new love
Starting from - day one
Day one

Doing my best to overcome
Looking out at a great big ocean
Finding a way to build back up
All it takes is a mustard seed to move a mountain, move the mountain,
"Move that bus!"lol
Starting from - day one

Day one

As You Are

A recent conversation...
lyrics by shawna ray

"There will always be
a place for you in my arms."
No matter where you roam,
I hope that you know
I'll be waiting here
To love you as you are

Don't know if I can believe the word always
I've loved before and it hurt when that all changed
I sit and wait for "the one" who will get me
Around the ring in a fight with my feelings

Hear you say...


"There will always be 
a place for you in my arms."
No matter where you roam,
I hope that you know
I'll be waiting here 
To love you as you are

You want to help and be a true partner
Sometimes I see us letting love go there
Just understand it will be a slow roll up
You have been steady and wont give up on us



"There will always be 
a place for you in my arms."
No matter where you roam,
I hope that you know
I'll be waiting here 
To love you as you are

As you are someone that I love
Easy how you just make me laugh
As you are someone that I trust
But friend is all I have to give right now


"There will always be 
a place for you in my arms."
No matter where you roam,
I hope that you know
I'll be waiting here 
To love you as you are
As you are someone that I love

Can someone become "the one" or is "the one" not just someone?

Unstoppable

For Sophia and all of my Goodwill and IPSC friends...

What is handicapped?
You are not defined by what you lack
Focus on your strengths
You are capable of so many things
For you see beyond your vision
You move beyond your legs
You learn with a new wisdom
Knowing you are perfectly made
To be unstoppable
You are unstoppable
What is a disease?
You are not the injury
What is poverty?
Merely a starting place
For you rise above the challenge
You reach beyond your means
You teach the world to balance
Knowing you are perfectly made
To be unstoppable
You are unstoppable
Your smile is energizing
Your courage is inspiring
Your love is pure refreshing
I melt when you hug me
I can see beyond my vision
I can move beyond my legs
I learn with a new wisdom
Knowing we are perfectly made
To be unstoppable
You are unstoppable
You are beautiful
You are powerful
You are capable of so many things
Unstoppable!
