True Colours

You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small

But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you

so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up
because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show

your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

I know!  I know!  I posted this song before but today I'm thinking about Greg.  After 18 years, he lost his job with the company he's worked for since he was 19.

My instant reaction was relief - joy.  The job was so hard on Greg - and Amy - and their kids.  Too many hours.   I know there's a better life waiting for them.

Greg is an amazing young man.  I'm so very proud of him - for a million different reasons.

Faith - trust.  This a good thing for all of them - I feel it.

Life is good!

Strong Enough

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I’d be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing’s true and nothing’s right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can’t change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
It’s try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I’ve shown you that I just don’t care
When I’m throwing punches in the air
When I’m broken down and I can’t stand
Will you be strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I’ll believe

Strong Enough

The Wanderer

Oh well, there's Flo on my left
And there's Mary on my right
And Janie is the girl that I'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one I like the best
I tear open my shirt - I got Rosie on my chest

'Cause I'm the wanderer
Yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around

Melt

But last night, i had a dream
I saved your life
I proved my love
I took the bullet
I killed a shark
1 kissed your hand
I thawed your heart
I thawed your heart

Phil Roy

We saw Phil Roy last night at the Keswick and
I found myself smiling at the knowledge that
romance is alive...
somewhere

I and Love and You

When at first I learned to speak
I used all my words to fight
With him and her and you and me
Oh but its just a waste of time
Yeah its such a waste of time

I and Love and You
The Avett Brothers

This is so true for me.  For so many years I had no voice.
When I finally found my voice, I discovered that it was
filled with anger. 

Hopefully, the pendulum is swinging back.

Hopefully.

The Power of a Moment

You know the number of my days
So come paint Your pictures on the canvas in my head
And come write Your wisdom on my heart
And teach me the power of a moment
The power of a moment
The power of a moment

The Power of a Moment
