Writers and Fighters

Reverting back to seventeen
I'm screaming 'cuz you're hurting me
The blame is somewhere in between
Not getting what we're wanting

Feelings miss the filter screen
And wounds can be so prickly
I'm overwhelmed by heavy weight
So ready to drop my fists

Because...
Our friendship is worth it
And I love you more than I'm showing
Our history reads like a book
And we are the writers to choose where we want this to go, woah oh

So take the time to break it down
I'm humble and I'm listening
To hear the words you have to say
While holding my responses

Valid are the feelings there
I see it from a different mirror
You ask me and I do forgive
I'm choosing to drop my fists

Because...
Our friendship is worth it
And I love you more than I'm showing
Our history reads like a book
And we are the writers to choose where we want this to go, woah oh

I'm so tired of dancing around this ring
I'm tired of writing dramatic tragedies
Here's to hoping...
Here's to peace - in the middle east?

:o) Smiley...
Our friendship is worth it
And I love you more than I'm showing
Our history reads like a book
And we are the writers to choose if we want this
We are the fighters, choosing to drop our fists, woah oh
Woah oh oh
I like us much better like this!

Beyond the Scars

He's feening for a friend
She's sexing for some love
He's working to feel worth
I'm eating to feel hugged

And so we miss the mark
We journey through this earth
In search of one who cares
To see beyond the scars

She's cutting for control
He's running for release
She's numbs with alcohol
He's hitting when he's weak

And so we miss the mark
And journey through this earth
In search of one who cares
To see beyond the scars

I don't have all the answers
But I know ONE who heals
I've seen it with my own mess
Where God in time revealed

Meaning through the madness
Wholeness through the sadness
Life that finally makes more sense
In real love and relationship

And so we'll miss the mark
As we journey through this earth
I'll be some one who cares
To see beyond the scars

In the Spirit of peace flowing freeing There's joy in the midst of the pain
Filling the void so we can see
A rainbow through the rain

When we embrace the ONE
When we are loved by ONE
United now as ONE, all in one
Who sees beyond the scars
Who loves beyond the scars
Who made us to be loved
And to love as ONE
