my turn

watching them leave, taking off from here
hearing them go, the stories they share
i wonder here, when will it be my turn

dont leave me here all alone, sometimes it easier to wait
and hope that somehow you'll be picked up
someone give me that courage to wait it out
to ask you out.

what does it take to belive, there's so much more to this
that at the end of it all, this time wont really matter as much
i watch them go, watch you go, i feel so left behind

these wings are ready, push me, let go of me
i'll fly for all to see
im ready, yes i'll be.

invincible

and we were invincible
unstoppable, friendships that last
through this time here
ever ones to look up too

the last goodbyes were'nt very well said
the choices we made
well aware of who we all are
in this company we were men

the waters that swept over
the turns we took and made
remember the victory?
it made you feel invincible

now we're invincible
don't go so soon, men dont cry
no not in front of us
don't let go these memories

we meet no more, we play on a different ground
the smiles were made, things left unsaid
the price we paid, yes, its worth it
cause of the wonderful friends we made

invincible, we always were dear brother
remember our ways we made our mistakes
paid our dues, and came out stronger
we cry that we cant look back

its more than you can take
no one's there when you call my name
be invinclble, be unstoppable
race on in love, never fear
we're right here in your heart
even in the midst of tears
invincible.

why do i long, the questions linger
in the dark of tonight
the dreams i once had, the contentment i should feel
so far away, i cry

something that died, that was torn down
of times that drift past me
too painful to touch yet often revisited
how do i carry on, how did i

and this time i go on, walking on, somehow
looking forward but still seeing you
tearing and putting down
i turn away once again

a work of art smeared and smudged
was made to last but somehow couldnt
i was woken from the dreams we shared
into reality perhaps.

why do i ask, how long must i wait?
the scars stare back
the memories etched deeply.
unattractive, as wounded.
theres something about you
just how you move and talk
the way your hair flows
and the way you captivate

then again i cant go too near
i day dream i wonder i look forward
yet once again i wish you felt the same
even though my head tells me we cant be together
walking on looking back isnt ever easy
into the darkness i take this journey
back to where i should've left so long ago
i cant go back in time, but will this be worth it?
demanding so much from me, never satisfied
when will you let me go?
spit me out throw me out just dont pull me down

the road winds and bends
delaying and keeping me
from where i want to be
here i stand, still fearful of you

walking on, mileage increasing on tired legs
burdens that never lightend
i look ahead to the end that never was this near
and here i fall into you once again
for one of the last times
i hate you but im proud of the connection

the war that rages on
halls and rows and rows
that go on and on
papers that pile up
burdens that cut so deep

weapons of war that need to be filled
friends by your side, press on
the race will end soon,
just look up and ahead

the war for paper
the words that elude
and formulas that cant get by
i'm praying for you
the student who crawls on

walk on.
just do so.
look up and on
walk on.

looking for love

in the corners hiding somewhere
the love i wanna find, one i wanna have
im looking for love but i just dunno where to go

for her hand to hold
someone i could talk to
just the one i wanna be with
looking for love
maybe on the wrong side of town

in the corners hiding somewhere
in the distance over there
the love of my life, one i wanna have
have i already met her, or has she yet to come
the longings too much to bear

dreams

take these dreams...

lay it down at Your feet
these important pieces of me
the visions and expectations
i give it up to You

trusting there is so much more
that Your dreams bigger and holier than mine
such a great purpose
more than these dreams
i find You

of love of companionship
how i long for her even now
confused and expectant
dreaming of that day i walk with her
dreaming, yes i dream

i give them up to You
these dreams of a future
for something brighter
yes You know what i need
i trust, in Someone so much bigger

and the pieces that lie on the floor
You pick them up and put them back
You know just how much they mean to me
but not as much as You mean to me
so i give them up to You
these dreams

take these dreams....
oh take them, take them..
and make them Yours.
