Healing songs/lyrics #2

[squirrely]

Good evening all

This is a song that yes is healing to me as it expresses anger towards my ex- perp.

I have a tough time sensing anger of any type....music is my only way of expressing it.

"Sleep to Dream" by Fiona Apple

I tell you how I feel but you don't care

I say tell me the truth but you don't dare

You say love is a hell you cannot bear

And I say gimme mine back and then go there for all I care

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream

You've got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem

This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways

So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise

I have never been so insulted in all my life

I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride

First you run like a fool just to be at my side

And now you run like a fool but you just run to hide and I can't abide

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream

You've got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem

This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways

So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise

Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive

We're not playing a game anymore

You don't have to be so defensive

Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain

Don't even show me your face, 'cause it's a crying shame

Just go back to the rock from under which you came

Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim

And don't forget the blame

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream

You've got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem

This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways

So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream

You've got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem

This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways

So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise

"Limp" and "Get Gone" from "when the pawn...." are two more of my fav angry Fiona Apple classics.

This may not seem like a healing song (since it's about baseball) but I remeber watching the video and expecting the boy to be devestated that he hadn't managed to hit it. But the way it turned it around was very meaningful to me.

"I Am the Greatest"--Kenny Rogers

little boy in a base ball hat

stands in the feild

with his ball and bat

player of them all

puts his bat on his sholder

and tosses up his ball

and the ball goes up and the ball comes down

swings his bat all the way around

the world so still you can hear the sound

the baseball falls to the ground

now the little boy doesn't say a word

picks up his ball he is undeterd

says i am the greatest there has ever been

and he grits his teeth

and he trys it again

and the ball goes up and the ball comes down

swings his bat all the way around

the world so still you can hear the sound

and the baseball falls to the ground

he makes no excuses

he shows no fear

he just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers

little boy he adjusts his hat

picks up his ball

stares at his bat

says i am the greatest the game is on the line

and he gives his all one last time

and the ball goes up the moon so bright

swings his bat with all his might

the world's is still as it can be

and the baseball falls

and that's strike three

now it's supper time and his mama calls

little boy starts home

with his bat and ball

says i am the greatest that is a fact

but even i didn't know

i could pitch like that

says i am the greatest that is understood

but even i didn't know

i could pitch that good

What do you guys think, inspirational?

Take care

I have several songs but I will post this one for starters: She is kinda new to the music world but is one of my fav: Kelly Clarkson, Breakaway ( scroll down to hear it by clicking on the link)

Grew up in a small town

And when the rain would fall down

I'd just stare out my window

Dreamin' of what could be

And if I'd end up happy

I would pray

Trying hard to reach out

But, when I tried to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me

Wanted to belong here

But something felt so wrong here

So I'd pray

I could break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But, I won't forget all the ones that I love

I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Wanna feel the warm breeze

Sleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean

Get onboard a fast train

Travel on a jetplane, far away

And break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness and into the sun

I won't forget all the ones that I love

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging round revolving doors

Maybe I don't know where they'll take me

But, gotta keep moving on, moving on

Fly away, break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta

Take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But, I won't forget the place I come from

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

"Breathe" by Ricki Lee (just some facts, she was on the Australia version of Idol, but didn't win) she is one of my favs. (link to listen at bottom)

Why do all the lonely go?

Friends they thought they knew dont want to know.

Try to find a place to hide,

as they fall into there.

Someone catch them, please.

Everybody hurts, everybody aches.

Everybody falls, everybody breaks.

Just breathe, let it out, and breathe.

Everybody cuts, everybody bleeds.

Every hidden scar is just to find, so.

Breathe, let it out, and breathe. Just breathe.

Can you feel the circus in your head?

Dont you know the reasoning is mislead?

So say love if you give a damn, is slowly killing you.

And dont you feel it too.

Everybody hurts,

every body aches,

everybody falls,

everybody breaks,

just breathe, let it out, and breathe.

Everybody cuts,

everybody bleeds,

every hidden scar is just to find, so,

just breathe, let it out, and breathe.

Just breathe.

Where do all the lonely people go?

Stand up if you give a damn.

Everybody hurts,

everybody aches.

Everybody falls,

everybody breaks.

Just breathe, let it out, and breathe. Come on and breathe.

Everybody cuts,

everybody bleeds,

every hidden scar is just to find, so,

just breathe, let it out, and breathe. Come on and breathe.

Everybody hurts,

everybody aches, (Do you know what I'm saying?)

everybody falls,

everybody breaks.

Just breathe, let it out, and breathe. Come on and breathe.

Everybody cuts, everybody bleeds,

every hidden scar is just to find, so,

just breathe, let it out, and breathe. Come on and breathe

This song came out around the time I was freeing myself from my abusive situation. The first time I heard, I felt so empowered, actually it still has that affect on me now.

Free Girl Now - Tom Petty (on the Echo album)

I remember when you were his dog

I remember you under his thumb

Yeah baby, when he would call

Every time, you had to come

Yeah baby, you'te a free girl now

Hey baby, you're a free girl now

I remember when he was your boss

I remember him touching your butt

I remember you counting your blessings

Yeah honey, you had to keep your mouth shut

Hey baby, you're a free girl now

Yeah baby, you're a free girl now

Yeah, well all right

Honey, put your sugar down

Dazzle, dazzle the moon above

Lay your victim down

No longer will you be a slave

No longer will you have to crawl

No longer will you suffer

No longer will you stall

One day you'll live for a reason

One day you'll be gone, no more

When you walk from the table

No longer, will you bow down

Hey baby, you're a free girl now

Hey baby, you're a free girl now

Tonight I Wanna Cry

(Monty Powell/Keith Urban)

Alone in this house again tonight

I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine

There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me

The way that it was and could have been surrounds me

I'll never get over you walkin' away

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show

And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control

But I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain

To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain

From my eyes

Tonight I wanna cry

Would it help if I turned a sad song on

"All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone

Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters

It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better

But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show

And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control

But I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain

To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain

From my eyes

Tonight I wanna cry

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show

And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control

But I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain

To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain

From my eyes

Tonight I wanna cry

Good evening Pandys

Intro-

Im feeling very very angry these days.

Im thinking that there have been a bunch of anniversaries these past few months that I have no actual dates for...if that makes any sense...

The intensity of my emotions as everything is processed are unreal....and I have taken a week or two to hide out at home to try to moderate them....only working a few days a week.

?

I left my ex-h perp last October. I recently found out by accident that he is seeing a woman. She called my number and I found the caller ID.

Since I have been on my own again, I am bothered more and more by his affairs that started last spring. Certainly not jealous- and NO thoughts of getting back together that would literally be a death sentence.

Im just so angry!!!!!!!!.

So needless to say I feel like Im fulfilling the prophecy of the psychopath ex-wife, getting angry over a year after his cheating began. Grrrrrrrr.

YES there are song lyrics in this post- no worries!

Letting him know Im angry, well would give him what he wants so I refuse. He suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)- so I have to be extremely careful of what I say/do as far as "he" is concerned. Instead of letting him know he has gotten a response of any kind, I gather vengeful song lyrics. I read them aloud when I know I should be angry to try to keep myself from suppressing everything.

Attached for your own reference, FYI there is a 2 page prologue regarding grieving a lost "relationship" involving NPD- you may wish to skip it. then it is nothing but 70 pages of #$$%^**! cathartic lyrics.

Inspirational for me as I have issues actually allowing myself to be angry....

I don't know if this is a healing song or not but when I heard Tori Amos sing this song I almost cried :tears:

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow"

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemondrops

Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow why oh why, can't I?

Wash Away Those Years by Creed

She came calling

One early morning

She showed her crown of thorns

She whispered softly

To tell a story

About how she had been wronged

As she lay lifeless

He stole her innocence

And this is how she carried on

This is how she carried on

Well I guess she closed her eyes

And just imagined everything's alright

But she could not hide her tears

'Cause they were sent to wash away those years

They were sent to wash away those years

My anger's violent

But still I'm silent

When tragedy strikes at home

I know this decadence Is shared by millions

Remember you're not alone

Remember you're not alone

Well if you just close your eyes

And just imagine everything's alright

But do not hide your tears

'Cause they were sent to wash away those years

Well if you just close your eyes

And just imagine everything's alright

But do not hide your tears

'Cause they were sent to wash away those years

They were sent to wash away those years

Maybe we can wash away those years

For we have crossed many oceans

And we labor in between

In life there are many quotients

And I hope I find the mean

the mean, the mean

Well if you just close your eyes

And just imagine everything's alright

But do not hide your tears

'Cause they were sent to wash away those years

Well if you just close your eyes

And just imagine everything's alright

But do not hide your tears

'Cause they were sent to wash away those years

Maybe we can wash away those years

I hope that you can wash away those years

Fireworks Night

New Model Army

All the mistakes that I have made

All the things I should have seen but I looked away

All the things we should have shared that we kept to ourselves

All the things that we shared we should have kept to ourselves

And I guess it’s the modern way – the phone call that comes

flying out of a blue autumn day and suddenly everything

goes so and quiet and soon everyone seems to be alone

with their own thoughts And now it’s as if I’m standing

beneath a torrent of falling water, feeling things I don’t

want to feel, remembering things I don’t want to remember

But we said what we said and we made what we made

And so I say the things I have learned to say

Thankful for words that can be used

We were both like waves not able to break

Rolling and turning and turning and rolling

But still not able to break

And I’m numb, I’m numb like when you’ve been driving

so fast for so long that it feels as if you’re hardly

moving at all, my body rigid with tension, my soul all

wound up like a twisted tree, the way we used to be when

we sang of passion and justice and faith was easy and

celebrated in a ritual of curling smoke, arms all raised up

towards the lights…

And we said what we said but we made what we made

And so by now you’ll be further on that I ever went; and is

it still painless? Do you get to float and look down and do

all of that? Tonight would be as good a night as any..

you’ll see the city alive like a great resting animal

lying in the lea of the hills and the moorland and

breathing little patterus of fire out into the cold dark

coming of winter. And I’m warming my back against

the heat of a bonfire – like the ones you so loved so build

and I’m thinking about it all – and I’m sorry and I'm not sorry.

Our time was made up of confused emotiongs and little

whirlwinds and all that stuff we coulnd’t really talk about

but most of all it was sealed in sacred moments like these

And then it was gone…

Carrying on

New Model Army

My friend, is it still ringing in your ears

Through all those blessed and poisoned years

You will still say I was wrong

But you'll miss me when I'm gone

Carrying on, carrying on, carrying on

And now I watch the falling of the leaves

We live by little deaths such as these

And when everything is changed

I'll embrace it once again

Carrying on, carrying on, carrying on

The empty roads we travelled now are filled

With all the brave processions of desperate will

All looking to burn out in glory

And you know just how that feels

But I've made my choice for better or for worse

And it's everything I know and it's nothing much at all

Carrying on, carrying on, carrying on

You will still say I was wrong

But you'll miss me when I'm gone

Carrying on, carrying on, carrying on

Hey there,

Im a fan of all music and this tupac song has always hit close to home be careful very triggering!!

2Pac + H.E.A.T.:

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up {Outlawz}

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up {Keep ya head up}

2Pac:

Now here's a story bout a woman with dreams

So picture perfect at thirteen, an ebony queen

Beneath the surface it was more than just a crooked smile

Nobody knew about her secret so it took a while

I could see a tear fall slow down her black cheek

Sheddin quiet tears in the back seat; so when she asked me,

"What would you do if it was you?"

Couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live through

I tried to trade places in the tragedy

I couldn't picture three crazed niggaz grabbin me

For just a moment I was trapped in the pain, Lord come and take me

Four niggaz violated, they chased and they raped me

Even though it wasn't me, I could feel the grief

Thinkin with your brains blown that would make the pain go

No! You got to find a way to survive

cause they win when your soul dies

2Pac + H.E.A.T.:

Baby please don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up {never give up}

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up {never give up}

Even when the road is hard, never give up

Baby don't cry

E.D.I. Amin:

Uhh

Forget him girl (forget him girl) he ain't gon' never change

I ain't no hater but that nigga lost in the game

After the bright lights and big thangs

he probably could loev you, but he in love with the struggle

Everyday, his mind on gettin mo' (gettin mo')

and never your feelings, he's chasin millions fo' sho'

Uh oh (uh oh), now you bout to have his baby? (dayamn)

Another wild-ass nigga that's gon' drive you crazy

You got too much, mo', livin to do - I'm spittin this to you,

cause you deserve more than what he givin to you (that's right)

Beautiful, black, precious, and complicated

A new millennium dime piece, so fine she

got em all stuck standin still when she come through

Baby take a little mo' time, love'll find you

And show us the sky's blue somebody other than me

gon' give you everything you need, feel me?

{Don't cry-ahhhhh..}

2Pac + H.E.A.T.:

Baby don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up {you'll be alright}

Baby don't cry, you got to keep your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up {you'll be alright}

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

Even when the road is hard, never give up {keep your head up}

Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up {never give up}

Even when the road is hard, never give up {no no.. ohhhh}

Baby don't cry

Young Noble:

I'm tryin to do all that I can, from jump

Now you losin, you was choosin the wrong man

Dealt the wrong hand, you was young and beautiful

Lost and turned out, what you let that nigga do to you? (Damn)

I knew her since elementary, she blew a kiss to me

Wrote me a note in crayon, wantin to get with me

We was kids, now she got three kids

They see their father e'ryday, and they don't know who he is

Seen him last night, homey roll a E-class

Mad cheese in the stash, still a deadbeat dad

I bring her, Pampers and food, just to stop through

But those, ain't my seeds, nuttin really I could do (nah)

I feel pity for you, you ain't even his wife

Seventeen with three kids, locked down for life

Shoulda chose me, she bout to O.D. from the pressure

Hell nah I won't let her {BABY DON'T CRY}

[with_torn_wings]

i dont know if this is already posted because i didnt read all of the posts, but this is a song that i have to turn on when im really upset or scared, shaken, depressed, etc.

this is a great song. and if you have not heard it, you need to! it makes me feel happy... and as dorky as it sounds... makes me feel "free". (the lyrics in bold print applies to me a lot... and they are my favorite lyrics in the song).

anna nalick

"Breathe (2 AM)"

2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,

"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,

I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"

Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes

Like they have any right at all to criticize,

Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable

And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table

No one can find the rewind button, girl.

So cradle your head in your hands

And breathe... just breathe,

Oh breathe, just breathe

May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss

Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,

"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."

Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,

But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,

Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,

And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.

No one can find the rewind button, boys,

So cradle your head in your hands,

And breathe... just breathe,

Oh breathe, just breathe

There's a light at each end of this tunnel,

You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out

And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again

If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song

If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,

Threatening the life it belongs to

And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd

Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud

And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,

And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table

No one can find the rewind button now

Sing it if you understand.

and breathe, just breathe

woah breathe, just breathe,

Oh breathe, just breathe,

Oh breathe, just breathe.

[pixie]

found this tonight:

"My favorite Bananarama misdirection has to be "Robert DeNiro's Waiting." For years and years, I thought the song was basically about a girl with a "Taxi Driver" fetish, nothing more. Until I read an interview with former head Banana Siobahn Fahey who revealed the true nature behind the lyrics:

Hope's dashed to the floor like shattered teenage dreams.

Boys living next door are never what they seem.

A walk in the park can become a bad dream

People are staring and following me.

This is my only escape from it all:

Watching a film or a face on the wall.

Robert de Niro's waiting

talking italian.

...is about a girl who's been raped and now cannot connect with anyone, save her celluloid hero, Robert DeNiro."

[Bubby]

Part of this song is my sig at the moment, because it reminds me who I am, how far I have come, and how much farther I can go. It reminds me that I have fellow travellers, too.

I Am Mine, Pearl Jam

The selfish theyre all standing in line...

Faith in their hope and to buy themselves time.

Me, I figure as each breath goes by,

I only own my mind.

The north is to south what the clock is to time.

Theres east and theres west and there everywhere life.

I know that I was born and I know that Ill die.

The in between is mine. I am mine.

And the feeling it gets left behind...

Oh the innocence broken with time...

Were different behind the eyes, theres no need to hide.

Were safe tonight.

The ocean is full cause everyones crying,

The full moon is looking for friends at high tide.

The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied.

I only know my mind. I am mine.

And the feeling it gets left behind...

Oh the innocence broken with time.

Were different between the lines, theres no need to hide...

Cause were safe tonight.

And the feeling it gets left behind...

Oh the innocence broken with time.

Were different behind the eyes, theres no need to hide.

And the feeling it gets left behind...

Oh the innocence broken with lies.

Were different behind the eyes.

Were safe tonight.

Also, not necessarily what many would consider "healing" as such, but which does it for me sometimes is this one, also by Pearl Jam. I think I relate to it because my hubby and I are sometimes like this, one drowing and the other refusing to let go. I guess it reminds me that I always have my bet friend, no matter how bad things get. It's a pretty angry sounding song, too, and I think harnessing anger can be a big part of healing.

Save You, Pearl Jam

Gonna save you f*cker,....not gonna lose you

Feeling cocky and strong,.. cant let you go,...

Too important to me

Too important to us,... wed be lost without you

Baby, let yourself fall,... Im right below you now

And f*ck me if I say something you dont wanna hear

And f*ck me if you only hear what you wanna hear

F*ck me if I care,... but Im not leaving here

You helped me when I was down,... Ill help when youre down

Why are you hitting yourself,... cmon hit me instead

Lets pick up your will,... its grown fat and lazy

Im sympathetic as well,... dont go on me now

And Im not living this life without you, Im selfist and clear

And you're not leaving here without me, I dont wanna be without

My best friend,... wake up to see you could have it all

Cause there is but you,... and something within you

Its taken control,.. lets beat it, get up lets go

Oh you're in your own world, lets see the whole world

Lets pick up your soul

And f*ck me if I say something you dont wanna hear

And f*ck me if you only hear the treble in your head

Please help,... me,... to help you,... help yourself

Help me help yourself,... please want me to,... please let me to

Help you

[sheblynn]

i don't who sings it (a girl) its called "in the arms of an angel" i really like it but sometimes i cry at it

[Mary]

i came across this song i liked when i was young, never really having comprehended the lyrics. i thought it could go here.

and you can watch the video

Madonna - Oh Father

Its funny that way, you can get used

To the tears and the pain

What a child will believe

You never loved me

Chorus:

You cant hurt me now

I got away from you, I never thought I would

You cant make me cry, you once had the power

I never felt so good about myself

Seems like yesterday

I lay down next to your boots and I prayed

For your anger to end

Oh father I have sinned

(chorus)

Oh father you never wanted to live that way

You never wanted to hurt me

Why am I running away

(repeat)

Maybe someday

When I look back Ill be able to say

You didnt mean to be cruel

Somebody hurt you too

(chorus)

[scarlettbegonia]

Sheblynn - I think that is Sarah MacLaughlin. It is a beautiful song. Take care, Leah

"Scream" by ZOEgirl

Does anybody know how I feel?

Sometimes I'm numb, sometimes I'm overcome

Does anybody care what's going on?

Do I have to wear my scars like a badge on my arm

For you to see me, I need release

Do I have to scream for you to hear me?

Do I have to bleed for you to see me?

'Cause I grieve, you're not listening to me

Do I need to scream?

Has anybody seen what's been done?

Where was my defense? No one heard my protest

The eyes of God were watching me

It's time to make my peace, let it go and be released

So I can breathe again

I'm on my knees

I've been marked, set apart

But I'm cut so deep and afraid of the dark

One drop of blood from the hole in Your hand

Is enough to heal me and make me stand

'Cause I'm clean, He is listening to me

I don't have to scream for Him to hear me

Don't have to bleed for Him to see me

'Cause I'm clean, He is listening to me

I don't have to scream

I don't have to bleed

'Cause I'm clean, He is listening

And I don't have to scream

"Reason To Live" by ZOEgirl

What is the meaning of life?

I've asked myself so many times

Is there a reason I'm here?

I wish someone would make it clear

'Cause I'm living from day to day, feeling so far away

Maybe I'm not as sane as I thought

Keeping my eyes on You is something I've gotta do

Even when I don't feel like it

I won't give up, I won't give in

I'm ready for my life to start again

I won't back down, I'll stand my ground

The time is now to show the love I've found

I've got a reason to breathe, I've got the freedom to stand

The future is mine, I'll give it all I can

To break down the walls that hold me in

It's my reason to live

My reason to wake up every day and bless Your name

In the crush of this crazy messed up world

Only You have stayed the same

I know I have a place here in amazing grace

Forever safe, forever sound

Time after time I see You are the best in me

You're everything I'm chasing after

Listen as the walls fall down

Hear the nations calling out

[adeline]

Here's a song that someone sent me and I think its pretty healing. Dedicated to all at Pandys! I hope you like it too.

My Wish by Rascal Flatts

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,

and each road leads you where you want to go,

and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,

I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.

and if one door opens to another door closed,

I hope you keep on walkin' 'til you find the window,

if it's cold outside,

show the world the warmth of your smile,

more than anything, more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,

all the ones who love you, in the place you left,

I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,

and you help somebody every chance you get,

Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,

and you always give more then you take.

But more than anything, Yeah, and more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it,

to your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it,

to your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

yeah this is my wish o0o0o0o0o0o0

i hope you know somebody loves you

may all your wishes come true

i guess you have to hear the music to fully appreciate this amazing song.

"sing" by the dresden dolls

There is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch

Back in the day it just went without saying at all

All the world's history gradually dying of shock

There is thing that's like talking except you don't talk

You sing

You sing

Sing for the bartender sing for the janitor sing

Sing for the cameras sing for the animals sing

Sing for the children shooting the children sing

Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing

Just sing

There is this thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked

It is called fear and it's seeing a great renaissance

After the show you can not sing wherever you want

But for now lets just pretend that we're gonna get bombed

So sing

Sing cause its obvious sing for the astronauts sing

Sing for the president sing for the terrorists sing

Sing for the soccer team sing for the janjaweed sing

Sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing

Just sing

Life is no cabaret

We don't care what you say

We're inviting you anyway

You motherfuckers you'll sing someday...

You motherfuckers you'll sing someday...

I'll Pay You To Shoot Him by Megan McCauley

****t******

Hey Father,

I want to put you to an end

Hey Father,

I'm almost over it again

Hey Father,

You were never my friend

Hey Father,

I've lost my mind again

Officer, what will you do

Officier, I'll pay you

I'll pay you to shoot him now

I will you pay you to take him out

I will pay you to shoot him now

I'll pay you to blow his brains out

Hey Mother,

Did he hurt you again?

Hey Mother,

I want you in it's got to end,

Hey Mother,

Swallow your pride you know it's true

Hey Mother,

You know he hurts me too

Officer, will you please,

I'm begging you,

On my knees,

I'll pay you to shoot him now

I will pay you to take him out

I will pay you to shoot him now

I will pay you to blow his brains out

(my sanity's lost now)

To choke him now

(the sad times are over)

To fuck him up

(I've taken control now)

To make him drink from the same dried cup.

Hey Father,

I wanna put you to an end hey father...

I will pay you to shoot him now

I will you pay you to take him out

I will pay you to shoot him now

I'll pay you to blow his brains out
