Superstitious

There's a gap as big as a mountainous cavern
All sides stand as the walls are built
Holding tight thinking they are stable
Pointing fingers come back again

Definitions vary
Generations gap
Guilt is always heavy
When we're waring with ourselves
Superstitious
It's superstitious

Twist of fate is a painful rug burn
Hopes of change turn disappointment
Seas ahead with an army onward
We are merely pawns in the game

Definitions vary
Generations gap
Guilt is always heavy
When we're waring with ourselves
Superstitious
I'm superstitious

Thinking I'm being watch through the internet
Helicopters are hovering overhead
They will get what they want in the end there's no win
Does all of the good do any good?
And who is the infamous "they" we talk of who is controlling the realm?

Definitions vary
Generations gap
Guilt is always heavy
When we're waring with ourselves
Superstitious
I'm superstitious
So let them watch us
It won't effect us
Unless we let it!
Superstitious
It's superstitious

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!

When Sunshine Meets Moonlight

When sunshine meets moonlight
The sparks fly in moments
They hang while in the distance
But then they separate...
Like sleep and play
The yin and yang

He won't fall from the stars
She won't fan out the flame
He's got demons to chase
She cant give up her faith

When sunshine meets moonlight
The Sparks fly in moments
They hang while in the distance
But then they separate
Like sleep and play
The yin and yang

She knows life needs night
Darkness craves the rays
Can they love while apart
Shining in different ways?

Sunshine meets moonlight
And sparks fly in moments
They hang while in the distance
And never need to separate
Like sleep and play
The yin and yang

Move the heart beat of the ocean tide
As a Grandpa holds a baby child
In forgiveness as the souls align
One love holds each in place

The sunshine is the moonlight
And sparks fly for a life time
They both shine in the new sky
And never need to separate
In sleep and play
The yin and yang
Are one today
And vow to stay
Through the night
There is light
Through the day
Dreams will play

Let Me In

What we have here is a crossroad and clearing
I'm out on the edge and so over fearing
What we have here is a light that is reaching
Right to the core like a sound that is piercing

I want to let you love me
Will you let me love you?
I want to let you in me
Will you let me in you?

What we don't need is someone who thinks they can
come in and save with their right way of doing
What we don't need is another man to leave
With a wake of rejection and misunderstanding

I want to let you love me
Will you let me love you?
I want to let you in me
Will you let me in you?

Can this just be about us?
Tearing down walls that were built up
Look in my eyes and feel trust
Baby I will always have your back
And no, I'm not perfect
But if I mess up, I will own it
I don't cry much I just tell it like it is

I want to let you love me
Will you let me love you?
I want to let you in me
Will you let me in you?
Let me in
Let me in
Let me be in love with you
Oooh will you let me let me in?

Peace at Home

I will tell anyone, "You can make marriage work"
It's a much harder job separating the hurt
If the love there is good, find the value and worth
But if you getting abused, then repeat these words...

I'm not afraid to be alone
When there's peace at home
Peace at home
Empowered to be on my own
There is peace at home
Peace at home

Make a plan of escape, find the help that you need
You grow stronger each day with the faith to believe
You deserve more in life and have so much to give
Start by loving yourself to be there for your kids

I'm not afraid to be alone
When there's peace at home
Peace at home
Empowered to be on my own
There is peace at home
Peace at home

I am holding your hand as you walk through the fire
I have been there my friend and I know there's been worse
Know the truth that's inside, healing your heart and mind
Taking each baby step while feeling love and light
Now singing...
I'm not afraid to be alone
When there's peace at home
Peace at home
Empowered to be on my own
There is peace at home
Peace of mind
Free my soul
There is peace at home
Peace at home
Peace at home
