Excuse me while I contemplate my mind.
I gotta get to a place where I think I'll be just fine.
Cause here I'm thinkin' again that I'm stuck in space and time
The pain comes down on me every time I cross the line
When everything feels like, I'm spinning outta' control
I know your tellin' me that I shouldn't play the role
But there's a spark in me, fanning into a flame
With every word I hear, the more I feel your shame

		I'm sure you feel the same
		When all the pain pushes your frown
		I'm sure you feel the rain
		When it all comes crashing down  
  
Excuse me while I trip all over me
I can't remember how many times I just couldn't see
That this fire in me is yearnin' to burn
And there's a passion in me that's startin' to learn
Not every thing's silver-lined just like in your dreams
One more blow before you know your apart at the seams
So I gotta get away from the negativity
Words sure can affect your self-security

		I'm sure you feel the same
		When all the pain pushes your frown
		I'm sure you feel the rain
		When it all comes crashing down

	But you can fight your war                
	I won't call for your score
	Cause like me you can't take no more  
	No you can't take no more   
	No you can't take no more  
	No you can't take no more

Can't Take No More

I pray that you find your way
That you follow your heart every single day
I pray that wisdom guides your feet
That your ever so kind to everyone you meet
I pray that you keep God so very close to you
That you look up to Him with everything you do

I pray that your life be so full of light
That you always chose to do what's right
I pray you'll find a way to heal
From all the heartbreaks this world yields
I pray that you'll never be alone
That He will always be there to guide you home

I hope you listen well to the truth that wisdom will tell
I hope in time you'll see right before you is a destiny
I hope that maybe you'll see
Just how much you really mean to me

I pray that life always treats you well
That you'll pass on them stories to tell
I pray that the angels stay nearby
When all the chaos makes you wonder why
I pray you'll always show your love
For the gifts he gave from up above

I hope you listen well to the truth that wisdom will tell
I hope in time you'll see right before you is a destiny

I hope you listen well to the truth that wisdom will tell
I hope in time you'll see right before you is a destiny
I hope that maybe you'll see
Just how much you really mean to me

I hope
I hope

My Heart Skips a Beat
(Anniversary Edition)
Words & Music
John Paul Hansen
        
I remember when we first met
My heart sank inside me
My hands just kept shaking and
My mind just wondered away oh yeah
My mind just wondered away I said
My mind just wondered away oh yeah

You can say whatever you wanna say
I believe I was made for you
Could it be that I've died and gone to heaven
Or could it be that your my angel Whoa

I   love your smile I  love your laugh
When you walk in the room My heart skips a beat

Cause I believe you were made for me
And I believe I was made for you                                                                                               Yet every little day
In every little way
You stay you, you stay true

I   love your smile I   love your laugh
When you walk in the room. My heart skips a beat

The Things that May
Words & Music
John Paul Hansen

It's a distant memory that sometimes gets the best of me.
I just wanna break free but it just won't seem to leave me be.
It's more than jewelry at the bottom of the deep blue sea.
I only see you as a disease your a memory that haunts me.

		You came and you  took it all away.
		I don't think I'll see that brighter way.
		I feel like I'm caught in it's sway.
		But I will face the things that may.
		The things that may.

Now father's gone away and mother's in misery.
Just a treasury of history, some are full of mystery.
My reliquary  seems so contradictory.
It's just a Pyrrhic victory and it just won't leave me be.

		You came and you  stormed the day.
		I don't think I'll see that brighter way.
		I feel like I'm  gripin' the sway.
		But I will face the beast and slay.

		You came and you  took it all away.
		I don't think I'll see that brighter way.
		I feel like I'm caught in it's sway.
		But I will face the things that may.
		The things that may.

Pain in the Air
(Original Acoustic Session)
Words & Music

	How could anyone be in your shoes.
	Brave enough to even lose.
	Not even old enough to chose.
	One of these days, you'll know the blues.
	One of these days, you'll know the blues.

	Sometimes this life just isn't fair.
	With the stench of pain in the air.
	Sometimes this life just isn't fair.
	With the stench of pain in the air.
	It's in the air.

	How could anyone be in your pain.
	Livin' life in the darkest rain.
	You smile but I can see your frown.
	Now I know why you feel so down.
	Now I know why you feel so down.

		Sometimes my mind just isn't there.
		With the stench of pain in the air.
		Sometimes I'm blind I'm just not here.
		With the stench of pain in the air.

	How could anyone feel so blue.
	Always searchin' for somethin' new.
	In reality I don't think you know.                                             
	Just where you even wanna go.                                             
	Just where you even wanna go.

		Sometimes this life just isn't fair.
		With the stench of pain in the air.
		Sometimes this life just isn't fair.
		With the stench of pain in the air.

		Sometimes my mind just isn't there.

Met this one little bitch who said she was in love
She like to play little game she wasn't from above
She been passed at the party just like a little toy
Come to find out she would have a little boy
It's gotta be bad when you use life to your means              
She lies to the boy and do whatever she please
Dazed and confused he don't know who to trust
After all he's just a boy a product of her lust

Truth can be the price when you think your hella in love
Moma told me that and it fits just like a glove
Pack in all your lies and you'll believe yourself
Look all around there ain't nobody else
Nobody else for you to do

Married this one little bitch who said she'd keep a vow
Come to find out she let the nation give her a plow
Right on the couch it musta' been three in the morn
Right before my eyes I watched her get torn
Then this boy's daddy walked right out the door
Who woulda' known this bitch was a lyin' cheatin' whore
It must be hard gettin' used to what you do
I got my shit packed because me and you are through

Truth can be the price when you think your hella in love
Moma told me that and it fits just like a glove
Pack in all your lies and you'll believe yourself
Look all around there ain't nobody else
Nobody else for you to do
                              
It all comes down to that shit you spit from your lips
You can't trick everyone just by shakin' your hips
She lies to the judge vengence for her ends
If honor only knew she gave her ass to too many men
Then the boy might know the whole entire truth
What an in-justice from his early early youth                                                                
Truth can set you free when it comes around
All ya had to do was open your mouth and make the sound

Truth can be the price when you think your hella in love
Moma told me that and it fits just like a glove
Pack in all your lies and you'll believe yourself
Look all around there ain't nobody else
Nobody else for you to do

For my Father

R.I.P. 2014

I thought I'd never see the day
When you'd say goodbye to me
All those things you ever said
Those weren't just memories
You lived in a world of your own
Left for a place of the unknown
I thought I heard your voice in my ear
It's unclear your just no where near

Even though I can't see your face
I know you're looking down on me
Through the clouds.
And even though I can't hear your voice
The Silence is so Loud 
The Silence is so Loud for me

I thought I'd never see the way 
With all the things I need to say
When I see your light in the sky
I don't really wonder why
So when I'm ready to say goodbye
I'll meet you up high
Once again I'll get to see your face
In that unknown place

In that place
See your face

Even though I can't see your face
I know you're looking down on me
Through the clouds.
And even though I can't hear your voice
The Silence is so Loud 
The Silence is so Loud for me

Even though I can't see your face
I know you're looking down on me
Through the clouds.
And even though I can't hear your voice
The Silence is so Loud 
The Silence is so Loud for me

The Silence is so Loud

You Made Me Better

How could anyone be in your shoes.
Brave enough to even lose.
Not even old enough to chose.
One of these days, you'll know the blues.
One of these days, you'll know the blues.

Sometimes this life just isn't fair.
With the stench of pain in the air.
Sometimes this life just isn't fair.
With the stench of pain in the air.
It's in the air.

How could anyone be in your pain.
Livin' life in the darkest rain.
You smile but I can see your frown.
Now I know why you feel so down.
Now I know why you feel so down.

Sometimes my mind just isn't there.
With the stench of pain in the air.
Sometimes I'm blind I'm just not here.
With the stench of pain in the air.

How could anyone feel so blue.
Always searchin' for somethin' new.
In reality I don't think you know.                                             
Just where you even wanna go.                                             
Just where you even wanna go.

Sometimes this life just isn't fair.
With the stench of pain in the air.
Sometimes this life just isn't fair.
With the stench of pain in the air.

Sometimes my mind just isn't there.
With the stench of pain in the air.
Sometimes I'm blind I'm just not here.
With the stench of pain in the air.
