Cruel Irony

The cheaters always think
Everyone else is cheating

The liars always think
Everyone else is lying

The burglars always think
Everyone else is stealing

But the criers never believe
Anyone else is crying

Quiet Strength.

Could've come like a mighty storm
With all the strength of a hurricane
You could've come like a forest fire
With the power of Heaven in Your flame

But you came like a winter snow
Quiet, and soft, and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below





Chris Tomlin

And you and I both know
This is gonna have to be something
Bigger than us

Stained Handwriting.

And the world is shifting

As I hold your letter far too tight

Tell me I'm not dreaming

I feel the water in my eyes

Sense is fleeing

Help me see

Can I keep believing

You're talking about me?

It's a little too perfect

To fit into my life

Maybe I wrote it

And made it just right

Maybe I wrote all those letters

I keep in my drawer

Maybe it's all make believe

I'm in some asylum of the sort

So I hold on to a photograph

There's no way I made that up

I guess this is the aftermath

If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up

Have a good tomorrow and the rest of those days

Isaac: "Where is he??"
Me: "HOUSTON."
Isaac: "I was talking about my stuffed Stitch..."


Oh.

Once Upon a Fight

"Nothing's ever as it seems,"
Says the smile with broken dreams
Dreams that somehow left in flames
Guess it left us wide awake

Do you remember a day before all of this?
Before lightning cracked open the skies
We were invincible, now what did we miss?
The towel never dries our eyes

What on earth happened?
All our dreams are shattered
Now we're begging the streetlights
To tell us we matter
A time ago we jumped in the puddles
And we ignored our differences
We always looked up to the skyline
Back when we were princesses

It wasn't hard to speak a name
And hide and seek was just a game
Now instead of a prince and a palace
It seems we've picked up battle axes

'Cause Cinderella's shoe won't fit
And Alice fell too hard this time
Freedom up and left Jasmine
And Wendy forgot how to fly

What on earth happened?
All our dreams are shattered
Now we're begging the streetlights
To tell us we matter
A time ago we jumped in puddles
And we ignored our differences
We always looked up to the skyline
Back when we were princesses

Now Snow White will never eat apples again
Aurora cannot mend her kids' socks
Wendy is terrified of "the end's"
And Alice worries over ticking clocks
Yeah all of us, we have our scars
From wishing on a shooting star
If you find home is way too far
And growing up is way too hard

What on earth happened?
All our dreams are shattered
Now we're begging the streetlights
To tell us we matter
A time ago we jumped in puddles
And we ignored our differences
We always looked up to the skyline
Back when we were princesses

Yeah all of us, we have our scars
From wishing on a shooting star
But when we let the dreams back in
That's when the real magic begins

Lights

"We're under the same sky,"
And I have to sound out
Each word in my mind

I closed my eyes
Because your song just came on
You're by my side

And I'm writing with my right hand on the phone
Because my brother fell asleep leaning against me
God is here, I'm not alone.

Our time went back to normal, and the hours are few
But I'll tell you I never changed my watch
I don't know why, maybe I felt closer to you.
