make it true

Posted on by under Conviction / Doubt, friends, God

who is to blame
for taking your name
and proving you bad about town

who stole your soul
held it high on a pole
and painted you up as a clown

you think you fly free
but it looks to me
like you never even left the ground

but it’s ok – to say
you live a life that let you down
it’s alrigh t- don’t deny
sometimes you trip and hit the ground

don’t pretend – i’m too good a friend
oh the things you thought you knew
you forget, or haven’t learned yet
wishing it won’t make it true

give me advice
while you’re paying the price
of stepping out of the light

you told me you won
but all you did was run
you never even put up a fight

a tear in your eye
life is passing you by
and you pretend you’re still alright

love is patient

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad


i wish i could say ‘i love you’
i wish it wouldn’t be a lie
i wish i could make you happy
God knows i try

but i’m older now than i was
was when i said i’d never move on
i want to be there for you
but i’m already gone

love is patient but i can’t wait
love is kind but life is cruel
we must go our separate ways
but i once was a fool for you

don’t cry cause you’ll see
this is gonna set you free
i know we’ll never be
eachothers destiny

so shake my hand, don’t hug me
cause i might decide to stay
here in your arms
living off of yesterday

good hands

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad


you are more beautiful
than these cameras could possibly hold
your laughter is music your eyes full of light
we’ll always remember this night

everyones waiting around to kiss you
you’re heard so many things today
but escape with me for a moment
there’s something i have to say…

congratulations
i hope you’ll be
unbelievably
happy

i’m afraid i’ve lost it all
everything i too quickly called mine
while i wasn’t looking, he took you away
but i never ask you to stay

but i never owned your smile
i cannot claim your love
so why do i – feel so robbed
i was never the one you were thinking of…

congratulations
i hope you’ll be
unbelievably
happy

so i’ve got to go now
i hope you’ll understand
i just came to see that you
were in good hands

what does a guy

Posted on by under Girls, Love

here you are you’re complaining again
and i’ve heard it ALL before
but i stay – because i am a “friend”
and i – will never be anything more

another knight rode into your life
but he would not get off his horse
so you whine – oh how you want to be a wife
but things just cannot get much worse

well what does a guy have to do to make you see
what does a guy have to do to make you happy
there are more questions in your eyes
than can be answered by any guy

i want to ask you not to cry (please don’t cry)
but i can see you need a hug
you say all you want to know is why
all my wisdom i offer in a shrug

after the pity, you ask my advice
i say all but what i believe
cause you think i’m sweet and you think i’m nice
and i don’t want make you leave

well what does a guy have to do to make you see
what does a guy have to do to make you happy
there are more questions in your eyes
than can be answered my just any guy
but i’d like to try
i’d like to try

speak to me

Posted on by under Conviction / Doubt, Faith, God, My Favorites

i’m waiting
for a surprise
watching for someone i’ve never seen

if you’re there
you hear my prayers
take me where i’ve never been

i know i can’t expect an answer
but i ask anyway

speak to me
in the voice that jonah heard
one so real
i obey – or run away

i’m tired
of holding my breath
i cannot force you to speak

what might be you
i’m able to
ignore for the message i seek

speak to me
in the voice that Jesus used
one so real
i obey – or run away

someday

Posted on by under Faith, God, Hope, Struggles

i say someday
i pray someway
i’ll be the one i’ve always claimed to be
i’ll be a slave who knows what it’s like to be set free

so i say “someday”

i don’t know – maybe tomorrow
you’ll show me – where i need to go

but, God, in my own little world
where all i can see is what You haven’t done for me
i don’t why You just dont reach down and say
“my child, here’s the way”

so i say “someday”

i pray someday
i’d follow your path
i’d stick with you
but i guess only You know what i’d do

someday i pray
You’ll give me a love

cause God in my own little world
where all i can see is just how lonely i am
i don’t see why i have to spend these days
just come down and be with me

but you say someday
You say One Day

midterms

Posted on by under Silly Songs

i don’t know
i don’t care
i don’t wanna be here

i don’t know
i don’t care
i don’t wanna be here

take me away
can’t you take me away
(la la la la)

this is a hard test
i’m not at my best (forgrive me)

this is a hard test
i’m not at my best (forgive me)

take me away
won’t you take me away
(la la la la)

i’m not gonna pass
this is kicking my
i needed an A

i’m not gonna pass
this is kicking my
i needed an A

there’s no way
now there’s just no way
(la la la la)

i take my scantron
and i’m gone
i don’t turn it in

i take my scantron
and i’m gone
i’ll take it again

take me away
i’ll say i was sick today

the new guy

Posted on by under Struggles

here again i search for phrases
that embody the way through the mazes
i stretch out a hand into the quiet
with no success i decide to try it

this, the result of a day hard at play
out in the world making friends and good pay
smiles and insults could be seen in their eyes
and i knew when a welcome was simply a lie

the last game i played i was crowned the master
but it was only a sport and the rookies were faster
so before i was old and put out of my prime
i fled from the town and reset the time

the chill of the new room reminds me why
why everyone hates to be the new guy
the mystery is that someday i might be
as important to them as they are to me

i think back on the faces i only remember
the ones that will forever be last December
and i miss them more than an acquaintance should
i wish i’d loved them, but i never could

as is my life, i am bound by a fear
that someday i’ll be led away from here
my days can’t be wasted making someone proud
my nights will be spent letting them down

if i am indeed my father’s son
why can’t i finish what he’s begun
i have no pride, and i need an excuse
to believe i am being put to good use

explain

Posted on by under Conviction / Doubt, God


she’s had a bad day, that much is clear
her head rests softly on his chest
and i can sense her peace from here
that moment when the weary find their rest

and i wonder, sure i wonder
in all the world, why those two?
if destiny rules with whispers and thunder
what are the lonely to do?

everyone’s eager to speak for me
as if they can voice what i feel
but only God knows what words cannot free
that emotion that’s never quite real
cause there’s something inside
that i’m trying to hide
somethings i can’t explain

there are thoughts that defy
my mind and my eye
somethings i can’t explain
this world is big on breaking the rules
going too far, and worshipping martyrs
just like putting new hats on old fools
their knowledge doesn’t make them smarter
i join in the song of chance melody
buy into the lie that we’re all alone
cause i want to hide behind everything i see
to escape that light that points me home

everyone’s saying i should believe
what they’ve decided to preach this week
but there is a truth that surely must grieve
cause this world lies, and i won’t speak

better off

Posted on by under Faith, God, Struggles

i automatically consider san antonio as God’s will simply because i actually moved here — which i guess is something of a miracle. but truth is i’m just terrified to think that this is just another mistake or dead end. but i may not be “better off”, but at least i’m asking…begging God for help instead of living in blind contentment.

now i understand
how way back then
they could run from what i’d embrace

i said they were fools
i still know it’s true
but now i’m one of them

cause i can’t deny – You brought me here
though the reason is not clear
and i can’t deny – You’re still behind
the blessing i can’t find

no i’m not better off
but i’m closer – to You

i had a smile
brought from earthly things
but they too soon turned to dust

now i’m struggling
with what i’m doing here
and the hardest thing is to trust

cause i blame You – You brought me here
and the reason is not clear
and i thank You – You still behind
me though i am so blind

no i’m not better off
but i’m closer – to You
