It Was Real
by Jenn Katusha and Jeff Oxford
 

Verse 1 
I shouldn’t be looking backwards
It’s the last thing I should do
But this morning I hit rock bottom
And started thinking about you

Verse 2
They say that I should have fire in my eyes
And the blood running through me should boil
What good would that do? I’d still think of you
I’d rather keep our memories fresh, not spoiled
Even though the ending was a mess 
It’s up to me how I handle the rest

Chorus
I choose what to remember
I choose what to forget
There were tears and there were smiles
Satisfaction and regrets
It still counts, that’s how I feel
We still mattered, it was real

Verse 3
I could scream damn you, how could you?
And call you all sorts of nasty names
Stay angry for the rest of my life,
Play all kinds of childish games
Somewhere in time all we had is safe and sound
Now there’s no need to burn it all to the ground
Even though the ending was a mess 
It’s up to me how I handle the rest

Chorus
I choose what to remember
I choose what to forget
There were tears and there were smiles
Satisfaction and regrets
It still counts, that’s how I feel
We still mattered, it was real

Chorus
I choose what to remember
I choose what to forget
There were tears and there were smiles
Satisfaction and regrets
It still counts, that’s how I feel
We still mattered, it was real

It Was Real

Baby, I Love You

Wild One
by Jennifer Katusha,  Paul Riefert and Jeff Oxford

Fourth in line out of nine
Father’s little blue-eyed brother
Just a boy when you lost your mother 
There wasn’t a good time that
You didn’t chase down
Always lived life in full color

And when the pain came
Instead of going insane
You shaped metal with your hands
And the pieces that you made 
Live on to this day 
Helping us all to understand

Chorus
Curious creator
Free spirit, rule breaker
You sure did know how to have fun
Storyteller
What-the-heller
Wild one

You went where the wind blew 
Never one to make plans
Threw ideas up in the air
Just let them fall where they’d land
Traveling the globe
Gathering tales to be told 
Bringing them back home 
Where you’d spin them into gold 

And when the pain came
Instead of going insane
You shaped metal with your hands
And the pieces that you made 
Live on to this day 
Helping us all to understand

Chorus
Curious creator
Free spirit, rule breaker
You sure did know how to have fun
Storyteller
What-the-heller
Wild one

Bridge
When all that you tried to forget from 69 reared up and took its toll
You held on for dear life to your inner child and just wouldn’t let go

Chorus 2
Curious creator
Dream maker, none braver
You showed us all how life was done 
Storyteller
What-the-heller
Wild one
Oooo you’re a wild one

Outro
Mmmm mmmm  
Wild one

Wild One

ya with me now all quality
ya with me now no stallin me
feel me right here when you callin me
pure woman you got all in me

====[ LYRICS ]====

[Verse 1]
I’ve worn my flaws like second skin
Hid what I felt, kept it locked within  
But I’m tired of shadows, tired of shame  
I need your light to show me the way  

I spoke like I had all the answers
But silence was my only prayer  
Now I kneel, heart laid bare—  
Jehovah, are you there?  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Not just stronger, but guided by love  
Not just calm, but trusting your plan  
Not just kind, but shaped by your hand  
You see the heart beneath the scars  
Let me be better—just as I am  

[Verse 2]
I’ve wandered roads that led me home
To where your voice is soft but known  
When I was numb, still you were near  
Your mercy louder than my fear  

I’ve read your word through weary eyes
Each verse a whisper, a call to rise  
So here I am, not proud, just true—  
I want to walk each step with you  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Less of my will, more of your cause  
Let me reflect what patience can be  
Show your compassion working in me  
You see the soul I’ve tried to guard  
Let me be better—Jehovah, my God  

[Bridge]
I won’t pretend I haven’t strayed
But you forgive when I’ve confessed and prayed  
No crown, no worth of my own to boast  
Just grace enough to hold you close  

[Final Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Lifted by undeserved love  
Let every failure become my prayer  
Every tear, a step toward care  
You’re not done with me—this I trust  
Let me be better than I was

Let Me Be Better Than I Was

This is a song about Julie, and her journey to California. Told thru the eyes of a woman at the piano, with her husband in the wings, watching her sing and play for a theater full of people. 
The Piano rises and falls with the ups and downs of story. Looking back at history of the family, and where we end up is not always where we start. Happiness is out there. Go and Grab it.

Her Story Told

THE HUMAN KIND

There is no country
when children spend their days hungry
at night afraid of what awaits on the outside
 
when the river’s so wide
and you’re crying 
on the other side
crossing over 
while the current pulls you down 
every time you try 

we keep singing with the voice of freedom
we keep dreaming ‘bout a moment in time
we keep marching to the place we will be when
everybody’s given grace
the human kind
the human kind
the human kind

There is no mercy
for the mama who’s gotta worry, oh no
child can’t be free
when living is a liability

if you got love
then who cares what the body’s made of
you know what life is worth
when you’re fighting for everything you got on this earth
 
we keep singing with the voice of freedom
we keep dreaming ‘bout a moment in time
we keep marching to the place we will be when
everybody’s given grace
the human kind

I come from yours
you come from mine
oh yeah
we are all together in the line

chorus
the human kind

I keep waiting for that day now
everybody find a way now

It Was Real
