Mine
This may seem sappy and may seem weak
But I wish to find what so many seek
A happy feeling with neither reason nor rhyme
A simple perfection that only I can call mine
Some may say that what I wish for is not real
That I act like the starved before a glorious meal
But I so desperately want to feel so free of any confine
To lay beside, to walk alongside the one I call mine
They say that what I seek is nothing but a fairy tale
But I truly hope to succeed where others may fail
Find the one who holds my tears, makes everything fine
I wish to hold their heart and for them to hold mine
So I will listen to my soul and not these broken fools
And find the one that my possessive mind can't rule
I know first-hand that I have some major flaws
But I hope I can find the one to which I can say ‘I am yours'

The Only Hand You'll Need To Hold
When you need to be love, let me love you
When you need a friend, reach out to me
When you need reassuring that it's alright
Anything you need, that what I'll be
For I want to be the one you always come to
When you find you need a place to go
Let mine be the hand you always cling to
Mine will be the only hand you ever need to hold
Mine will be the only hand you ever need to hold
I can be the one that makes you happy
I'll be your umbrella when it rains
I will be someone that you can count on
In other words, I'll be your everything
For I want to be the one you always come to
When you find you need a place to go
Let mine be the hand you always cling to
Mine will be the only hand you ever need to hold
Mine will be the only hand you ever need to hold
I want to be the one you always come to
When you find you need a place to go
Let mine be the hand you always cling to
Mine will be the only hand you ever need to hold
Mine will be the only hand you ever need to hold

Hard To Find Her
Overdone,
I was running around
trying to get me some when
you were there on my shoulder
telling me that
She's the one,
She's the one in a million that comes along but
tell me what could I do?
Cos I tried so hard to find her.
Should I hold my breath
now she's looking at me.
And I hope she knows I want her.
What if she was looking at you,
not me.
Late again,
I lay awake on my bed as I dreamt of her and,
would she like to come over?
Maybe next time
would be fine,
I've got a feeling that I may be losing my mind
but tell me what can I do?
Cos I tried so hard to find her.
Should I hold my breath
now she's looking at me.
And I hope she knows I want her.
What if she was looking at you,
not me.
I'm holding out a million-dollar bill.
I'm hoping that she'll look my way.
I'd crawl on my knees to be beside her.
Even if I knew I could never walk again
Cos I tried so hard to find her.
Should I hold my breath
now she's looking at me.
And I hope she knows I want her.
What if she was looking at you,
not me.
Cos I tried so hard to find her.
Should I hold my breath
now she's looking at me.
And I hope she knows I want her.
What if she was looking at you,
not me
Overdone,
I was running around
trying to get me some and
tell me what could I do?

Seek & You Will Find
You been laying it on the line
Too much fat to burn
You been stuck on a course
While the world around you turns
You been out in the rain
But babe, oh the sun still shines
Well you might walk through a cloud
Seek and you will find
Seek and you will find
Its like treading on thin ice
Hot stones in your shoes
Well you know the world can blow your mind
Unless you got the guts to cut the fuse
You been out on the streets
And babe how the road does wind
Well you might look straight ahead
Seek and you will find
Seek and you will find (seek and you will find)
You been out on a limb
And so many mountains to climb
Well you just might be sitting on a rainbow, honey
Seek and you will find
Seek and you will find

So Strange
Its so hard to breathe right now
Living things without a friend of mine
Air just filling every bit, of every end, of every mind
You thought you could feel
And its maybe 6 a.m.
And no one wants to be with me
So Im calling out to someone and something that I dont know so well
Ohh, Im free
If I cant find the warmth in my summer
And I cant find the light in my day
I just look to my friends and well see our troubles away
You make me feel so strange
Wont you let me breathe the air
I want to hold on to right now
Wont you let me read a book about
Someones queen who came back for me
I see bridges in my eyes
I see mornings left for the children
I see people holding back, trying to find another reason so they can walk away
And it makes me scream and I pray
If you cant find the warmth in my summer
And I cant find the light in my day
I just look to my friends and Ill see our troubles away
You make me feel so
It can never end cause we dont speak
It will never just die
So why dont you call the man
And, tell him to come over here and just clean up my pride
If you cant find the warmth in my summer
And I cant find the light in my day
I just look to my friend and well see our little troubles away
You make me feel so strange
If you cant find the warmth in my summer
And I cant find the light in my day
I just look to my friend and well see our troubles away

Love Needs A Heart
(by lowell george, valerie carter & jackson browne)
Maybe the hardest thing Ive ever done
Was to walk away from you
Leaving behind the life that wed begun
I split myself in two
Proud and alone, cold as a stone
Rolling down that hill into the night
I could see the surprise and the hurt in your eyes
From behind each flashing city light
Love needs a heart and I need to find
If loves needs a heart like mine
Love wont come near me, she dont even hear me
She walks past my vacancy sign
Love needs a heart, trusting and blind
I wish that heart was mine
Proud and alone, cold as a stone
Im afraid to believe the things I feel
I can cry with the best I can laugh with the rest
But Im never sure when its real
And it may be the hardest thing Ive ever done
But apart from all that I hope to find
Wheres the heart thats been looking for mine?
I hope it finds me in time
Love needs a heart and I need to find
If love needs a heart like mine

I hope...
I Wish You well...
I hope you find yourself..
I hope you will find the love of your life..
I hope he makes you happy..
I hope you have someone that understands you..
like you want them to..
I hope through thick and thin he'll stay by your side..
Making sure you're all right..
not letting a tear fall..
nor let a smile turned upside down..
I wish you well..
I hope you find yourself..
I hope your family wont harm you..
I hope your mom is okay..
I hope that you are happy..
every step of the way.
I wish you well..
I hope you find yourself...

As Long As You're Happy
Today i met a lonely girl
with a touch of magic
i've been waiting for someone like her
I'm so happy
She let's me know of her love
i give her all of mine
My Angel sent from above
i tell her all the time cause i'm so happy
Now what was once 2 lonely souls
tonight we sleep, arms in arms
i found someone to love and hold
i wonder if she's happy
Love is here, just in time
my dark world has begun to shine
wherever i go, i want her near
cause she's what makes me happy
How long will this love last?
still can't believe she's mine
So attractive with a past so tragic
i'll do anything for her just as long as she's happy
She seems to hold and kiss me less
i feel so cold, her lips are blessed
i hope she never strays from me
she's what keeps me happy
She wants to free, it's in her eyes
Away from me, let her decide
an eclipse is what she sees in mine
cause love has made me happy
Then came the day, i lost my heart
she's gone away, forever we part
I find myself back in the dark
where nobody can be happy
I would hold you in my arms
No other hand in my palms
i thought the love of ours would last
she wants me to be happy
Forget about me
life has been tragic
im'a wait in the rain for you
just to see you happy
I'm stuck in a world where demons grab me
They stab me
...but im'a wait in the rain for you
As long as you're happy
Faith and Hope- The true pursuit of happiness!
When stars dim up in the sky
When things seem so hard to try
When raging sea billows roll
When all seems bad and all seems cold
When giving up seems to become your goal
When stale bread is the only meal
When all options fail and there's more with to deal
Faith and Hope can make your wounds heal
Faith is the belief that it would happen
Hope is the feeling that makes it happen
When Hope is lost
It can be found
When all seems gone to the ground
Hope can still germinate this time around
And fill your heart with something special
A special feeling that someday it will get better
And guess what
No true believer has disproved this law
Things will get better when you work hard enough
When the going is tough
Be tougher
When all seems rough
Try harder
Things will get better...
Better someday.
WHen all seems lost
Trust in hope the priceless cost
to pay all the trouble and weary down to nothing
For in hope the homeless get mansions
In hope the cowards seek bravery
in hope the lonely seek love
and experience true love
For in hope the troubled seek peace
and find true happiness.
Yes...the pursuit of happiness is Hope
And in Hope we will all find joy
For if you have a Dream
Believe it for hope can make you achieve it!
And in all you need faith to retrieve it!

Alone with you I want to be
Alone with you is where I long to be too
Alone together is the place where we should be
Alone without your words
it's you that I miss too
Alone I feel your touch
Alone today just feel like too much
Alone I don't want you to feel
Alone soon I hope you will not be
Alone and it's you I barely know
Alone a while longer and I will come to you
Alone this hunger that makes you ache
Alone this feeling my flesh can't hardly take
Alone this feeling soon you won't have to take
Alone with you I know will be home for me
Alone with you soon will come true
Alone you kiss me goodbye in your mind
Alone but your heart beats with mine
Alone and why is timing so unkind
Because with me, alone you will not find
Fragile how you are, strong and patient you will find
You I need, wait for me and alone you will not be

Still Waiting
So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in
Drop dead a bullet to my head
Your words are like a gun in hand
You can't change the state of the nation
We just need some motivation
Three times casino eviction
Just lies and more contradiction
So tell me what would you say
I'd say its up: to me
So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in
Ignorance and Understanding
We're the first ones to jump in line
Out of step for what we believe in
But whos left? To start the pleading
How far will we take this
It's not hard to see through the sickness
So tell me what would you say
I'd say its up: to me
So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in
This can't last forever
Time won't make things better
I feel so alone
Can't help myself
And no one knows
If this is worthless
Tell me: so
What have we done
We're in a war that can't be won
This can't be real
I don't know what to feel
So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in
So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

07. I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You
i love you for no reason
except because i love you
as simple as one times one equals one
yet if you remain one and wish for a hundred
i would work to add up the rest for you -
to prove to you the volume of my love
you have moved away
called me 'mad
sickeningly possessive'
publicly humiliated me
for my leaning onto you for affections
they are merely gusts of wind
that turn the wind compass
to the the right side of you
all your wonderful characteristics
i love you for no other reason
except because i love you
your happiness, mine
your injury, tears, mine
even if this love should really bother you
i would that you could find
someone to love you more
even if it means giving you a helping hand.
i love you for no other reason
except because i love you
your happiness is mine
and your injury, mine

Read Your Mind
We held hands and laughed
Then we jumped in the water
Off the jetty wed fly
As the sun got hotter
We were any age
Floating through space
Happy for once in the human race
On this sweet sunday and into monday
Your arms wrapped around me
Where my love has found me
But am I really free
If I could read your mind
I hope Id find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
Id try to find you
And make up for all this wasted time
Like a broken record
Ive stayed protected
From promises from disappointments
I wanna hear your dreams wanna drift away
Wanna break you in
Oh I wanna stay
Stay in heaven oh in heaven
And see my life finally begin
Will we be together oh forever
Darling please let me in
If I could read your mind
I hope Id find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
Id try to find you
And make up for all this wasted time
Oh I want to stay in this sweet sunday and into monday
Your arms wrapped around me
Where my love has found me
Has finally found me
But am I really free
If I could read your mind
I hope Id find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
Id try to find you
And make up for all this wasted time
Na na na na na
If I could read your mind
Na na na na na

A New Love
(dave loggins)
Loves the only thing I know in this life
Thats cut me deeper than the sharpest knife
And once again here I am and Im paying the price for a new love
I still hurt the one I lost
Standing here on a bridge that I cant get across
And I cant burn but I will when I walk with a new love
Chorus:
I believe
Its gonna be better then ever before
Thats why Im looking for
A new love
For this old heart
A new love
And I just cant wait to start
I wanna feel that way again
Oh when I find a new love
For this old heart of mine
Say Im looking for a new love
Somebody tell me where I find a new love
For this old heart of mine
Loves the only thing thats ever made me cry
Nothings ever made me feel more alive
Thats why once again here I am
Looking for the eyes of a new love
I know that somewhere in this world tonight
Theres a guy (she goes high on this part and I have no clue what she
Says)
Id even look if I thought I might find a new love
Repeat chorus x2
Oh Im looking for a new love
For this old heart of mine
Oh Im looking for a new love
For this old heart of mine
Say I need a new love
For this old heart of mine
Oh Im looking for a new love
Somebody tell me where Ill find
For this old heart of mine

I Hope You're Proud
I hope you see what you have done
I hope you once loved me
I hope some day you feel my pain
I hope your heart breaks jus like,
Mine.
Pain running deep...deep down,
Into my soul.
I hope it hurts you.
I hope you get what you deserve.
I hope you find yourself
I hope you're happy now.
I hope you miss me.
I HOPE YOU'RE PROUD.

Lord Is It Mine
I know that theres a reason why I need to be alone
I need to find a silent place that I can call my own
Is it mine, lord is it mine?
When everythings dark and nothing seems right,
Theres nothing to win and theres no need to fight
I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land
But it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand
Is it mine, lord is it mine?
When everythings dark and nothing seems right,
You dont have to win and theres no need to fight
If only I could find a way
To feel your sweetness through the day
The love that shines around me could be mine.
So give us an answer, wont you,
We know what we have to do,
There must be a thousand voices trying to get through.

Find The Sunshine
I hope you find the sunshine
on a rainy day.
I hope you find the right words,
for everything you say.
I hope that you feel grateful,
for every hurtful word.
Even though they probably
will leave you many scars.
I hope you find the gold
at the end of every rainbow
I hope your always happy
and never feel too low.
I hope if you are reading this,
and you know who you are.
I hope that if you need to talk,
you know I'm never very far.
I hope you find someone,
who loves you sweet and true.
I hope you find that someone,
and leave me alone in the blue...

Fragments
Hold my thoughts Im at an impasse
Past the place I stopped before
The sweepers sweeping fragments
Of my head out the door
And the ice it burns upon my forehead
The calmness starts to scream
Must I always hold the upright
When my soul longs to dream
Chorus:
Is it too much to find an answer
Is it too much to hold you close
Is it too much to find a reason
Is it too much to free my soul
From self control
I cant get it any better
I always end up killing time
Time for love and time for living
Time to find whats really mine
Chorus twice
And I know youre always waiting for me
You take me far away
And I know youre holding me
And its better now . . .
And its better now . . .
And its better now . . .

Helpless Child
Feeling like the helpless childÂ
The way you left meÂ
Wishing I can walk some miles
Into heaven
Just to see you're beautiful faceÂ
Pure perfectionÂ
Wishing I knew you where goneÂ
But I can't accept itÂ
Looking up to the skyÂ
If I could flyÂ
I would doÂ
You dont know how lucky I amÂ
To have a guardian angel like youÂ
You see you gave me these wings
You are the reason I flew
But I just can't understandÂ
Why you can't take me with youÂ
I know you watching over meÂ
But can't you walk beside me? Â
Hold my hand more timeÂ
Hold me foreverÂ
Just guide me..Â
I wish god would find it in his heart
To go back and time andÂ
Have you here  with meÂ
just make you mine againÂ
Days like theseÂ
I go back to my mind againÂ
7 years old
To the place I'm crying inÂ
Trying bring you back with meÂ
But it's still so emptyÂ
Feeling like the helpless childÂ
The day you left meÂ

I Hope God Hears Me
so I always know what to say
I hope God hears me speak
because peace is what I seek
I hope God shows me how to cope
so I don't give up the hope
I hope God will stay with me
so I know what I am to be
I hope God will show me how to stand
and always be with me to hold my hand
I hope God will show me the way
so I won't give up in my day
I hope God will be patient with me
so the comfort I will see
I hope God will show me how not to hide
and always be with me by my side
I hope God will show me how to start
so I carry him in my heart
I hope God will keep me from harms
and be there to hold out his arms
I hope God will show me the love
so I will see the peace of the dove
I hope God will show me the lead
so I will find out my need
I hope God will show me how to turn
because I have so much to learn
