Stand Together

Hearts are breaking,

the world is shaking.

There's fear and pain, 

sadness and disdain.

The devil smiling at the work that he's done,

We are scared and worried for our daughters and for our sons.

Is this how we want our kids to see the world, full of anger and full of strife?

Why are we letting the devil control how we live our life?

Racism, power, and justification is what everyone is making it about,

and no one can speak up because of the endless, hateful shouts.

Lives are being lost and the days are growing gray,

ridiculed and harassed for the things that we say.

We all just want to be understood and respected,

why must we hate when we should all stay connected?

What it should be about is mending this great divide,

the divide that is keeping so many of us hurt inside.

A divide that was created by the very evil that started this in the first place,

that same dark evil that fell from heaven's grace.

No one can help the color of their skin or the ground where their house was built,

But I would much rather remember my life for the love that I had rather than for the guilt.

I'm truly sorry to everyone who is hurting and who are filled with fear,

the scars that have been left behind brings a lot of us to tears.

But enough with the racism and enough with the hate!

The devil and his wicked works don't have to decide our own fate!

We all have hearts and they all beat the same,

we all have a dream and we all have a name.

We all have emotions and we all shed tears,

we all want to see change in the upcoming years.

We all want love and we all want peace,

we aren't all that different so why can't this war just cease?!

So many of us are so busy being focused on the problem that we forget about the resolution,

why don't we all figure out how to stitch this world back together instead of starting a race revolution.

It shouldn't be about race or justification ,

it should be about unity and reparations.

The media is a playhouse for the evil that is happening all around you and me,

why can't we walk away from it and just stand together in unity.

It only takes one voice to set the example and to take a stand,

instead of taking the cruelty can we just take each others hand?

How much better would this world be,

if we could all just set ourselves free.

Open Roads

Open roads with places for wild dreams,

New sights with high peaks of barren trees. 

Capturing my pictures from the blinks of my eyes,

I take my adventure streak on a life full of surprise. 

Enchanted land with chilly sands all for the taking, 

These lights of life and high views brings my soul to its waking. 

Two hearts together will soon stay forever.

Traveling on a tank half full but a faith that's always devoted,

This is where I'm supposed to be because that's how God wrote it.

Life is Wonderful

What's wonderful about life is that you get to live it however you please,

But what most people forget is how to pray on their knees.

What's wonderful about life is that you get a new day everyday,

But what most people forget is how to live it in God's way.

What's wonderful about life is that there is a world of possibilities in front of you,

But what most people forget is all that God has done and will continue to do.

What's wonderful about life is that there there will always be joy with the bad,

But what most people forget is that God is with you through all of the times that you've had.

What's wonderful about life is that you get to see miracles happen everywhere,

But what most people forget is that God is always there to care.

What's wonderful about life is that you get to live it with God in your heart,

But what most people forget is that He should always have a part. 

When Darkness Comes

When my mind feels like it's against me,

I'll remember who He made me to be.

When my demons bring out the worst of my emotions,

I'll remember that He can calm any ocean.

When I feel like I'm lost in a dark place,

I'll remember that through any darkness I can always see His face. 

When I feel like the light inside of me is burning out,

I'll remember that He placed a fire in me that burns away any doubt.

When I feel like my whole world has suddenly become my worst fear,

I'll remember that it will always be beautiful because He is always here.

When I feel like I can't be strong anymore,

I'll remember that that's what praying is for.

When I start to miss the care free person that I once knew,

I'll always remember that God made me in His image so that part of me has always been true.
