Never give up, love each other, show compassion breathe

Every moment in time is a chance to be better
Like it or not were all in this together
United we stand, divided we fall
When this ride is over, it stops for us all

What would you do if your dreams fell apart
would you leave them in pieces or possibly start
to pick them back up and start dreaming again
never give up, this isn’t the end

so many obstacles that each of us faces
But difficult roads lead to beautiful places

So Breathe, 
this is just the beginning
air is the spirit that gives life to all things
just take a moment, slow down and be present
life can be better you just have to believe
so never give up
love each other
show compassion
and breathe

What are we doing? This can't be right. Instead of
loving each other up we just end up fighting 
there must be a way we can turn this around 
Reach out to your brother, don’t let him down

Love and be happy, its as simple as that
Love and be happy, its as difficult as that

So Breathe, 
this is just the beginning
air is the spirit that gives life to all things
just take a moment, slow down and be present
life can be better you just have to believe
so never give up
love each other
show compassion
and breathe

Mankind isn’t kind, we’ve all become Callous
Lack of emotion will keep us off balance
Ego and pride are surely deceiving
below the surface our conscience is screaming

What if empathy could help us transform
And a showing compassion  / becomes the new norm

So Breathe, 
this is just the beginning
air is the spirit that gives life to all things
just take a moment, slow down and be present
life can be better you just have to believe
so never give up
love each other
show compassion
and breathe

Never give up, love each other, show compassion breathe

Little Dreamer

Beautiful World

Bonnies Ghost
By Michael Breshears 3/1/2023

Verse 1:
Bonnie was a young girl from a tiny Texas town,
She dreamed of fame and fortune, but the world had let her down,
Her life was like a tottering train, always on the verge
She had to find a different path to satisfy her urge

Chorus:
Oh Bonnie, Bonnie, what have you done?
You robbed and killed and you’re on the run,
Your story's known from coast to coast,
But in the end, you’re still a ghost.

Verse 2
Bonnie was a beauty, intelligent, daring and bold
She loved the thrill of robbing a bank, and leaving coppers cold
she knew her violent life would end in a fiery tragedy
If she didn’t come to grips with an exit strategy

Chorus:
Oh Bonnie, Bonnie, what have you done?
You robbed and killed and you’re on the run,
Your story's known from coast to coast,
But in the end, you’re still a ghost.
Verse 3
A depression era outlaw honey, Bonnie had it all
But the day would finally come when the legend had to fall
A weasel and his father knew they only had one prayer
To avoid Louisiana’s famous electric traveling chair

Chorus:
Oh Bonnie, Bonnie, what have you done?
You robbed and killed and you’re on the run,
Your story's known from coast to coast,
But in the end, you’re still a ghost.

Verse 4
Now Bonnie's just a memory, but her legend’s still alive
I can see her gangster smile every time I close my eyes
In my dreams I often find us running from a heist 
Bonnie and I hand in hand escaping with our lives 

Chorus:
Oh Bonnie, Bonnie, what have you done?
You robbed and killed and you’re on the run,
Your story's known from coast to coast,
I fell in love with Bonnie’s Ghost.

Your story's known from coast to coast,
I love Bonnie Parker’s Ghost.

Bonnies Ghost

Imperfect song but I know many here understand what this feels like.

Lyrics
Another blank sheet
Staring back at me.
Afraid to sing,
Afraid to get it wrong.
I just can’t take, 
The hate they bring.
“Go home darlin’,
You don’t belong.”

But I don’t buy it,
And I hear a voice say,
“Write it anyway!
No need to worry what the critics think.
‘Cause their words are crippling!
Your song can’t fly when you’re on the brink!
So write like no one’s listening.”

A dozen views,
One thumbs up.
Guess Aunt June
Is just catching up.
Not sure why
I sing into the void.
The world’s already
Full of too much noise!

But I can’t stay quiet.
And I hear my heart say,
“It’s like no one’s listening.
So no need to worry ‘bout the next big thing,
‘Cause that race is crippling
And it will drive you to the brink!
Just write like no one’s listening.”

Beautifully imperfect.
A rhyme or two is out of place.
The world may not “get it”. 
Well they can turn away!
I’m not giving up today!

I’ll keep writing anyway!
No need to worry ‘bout what they think,
‘Cause this world is crippling!
And I will fly! Oh, I’m on the brink!
So I’ll write like no one’s listening.
Write like no one’s listening!

But if you can hear me,
You’re a gift!
Thanks for listening!

Like No One's Listening

In the morning light, a cold and winter day
And through the morning eyes, can see your face again
If you call my name, an angels harp will play
We’re circling our galaxy, 200 million years it seems 

On a stormy night, can hear the wind and rain
With a restless mind, sleep escapes the midnight phase
In a distant place, so bizarre that no one dreams 
As the moment slips away, there’s a distant light of a dying star 

At the start I will promise you 
And in my heart, I will follow through
And the mark of someone who falls in love
It’s written on their face, and they shield it like a flame

At the start I will promise you 
And in my heart, I will follow through
And the mark of someone who falls in love
It’s written on their face, and they shield it like a flame and hold it till it breaks

Distant Light of a Dying Star

There's too much world to rearrange, and my best bet's to make it go away
Too many things I can't change and so little I can explain
I'm tryin' to disconnect my intellect, I need more whiskey instead of less
So give me two bartender, I’ll forget her in half the time

Give me two bartender 
There's a lot more on my mind
Too much left to think about
It's only 'round twelve-fifty-nine
So set me up again my friend
Before it's closin' time
And give me two bartender
There's a lot more on my mind

I guess I'm not as over her as I'd like to be
I can't quite lick it, or reach my limit, I'm an emotional casualty
I can't seem to loose these lovesick blues, so open up another bottle of truth
And give me two bartender, I’ll forget her in half the time

Give me two bartender 
There's a lot more on my mind
Too much left to think about
It's only 'round twelve-fifty-nine
So set me up again my friend
Before it's closin' time
And give me two bartender
There's a lot more on my mind

Well it seems I gotta lotta thoughts left to be thunk
They keep runnin' through my head all at once
I'm a long way from feelin' I've had enough
So it's thumb down on life and bottoms up

And give me two bartender 
There's a lot more on my mind
Too much left to think about
It's only 'round twelve-fifty-nine
So set me up again my friend
Before it's closin' time
And give me two bartender
There's a lot more on my mind

Yes there is
Give me two bartender
There's a lot more on my mind
Give me two bartender
There's a lot more on my mind

I LIED TOO
Marvin Adcock

You lied to me, but I lied too
You said you’d love me forever
I said I’d get over you
You lied to me, but I lied too

My last night of waiting for you to come home
I even rehearsed what to say
My grip damn near breaking that silent cell phone
I cursed your name then prayed you're OK

You lied to me, but I lied too
You said you’d love me forever
I said I’d get over you
You lied to me, but I lied too

The guilt in your eyes when I asked where you'd been
Told me I’d never hear the truth
Just old alibis and excuses again
But I knew what I had to do

You lied to me, but I lied too
You said you’d love me forever
I said I’d get over you
You lied to me, but I lied too

I wanted to say babe let’s work this out
Where there's truth there's always hope
But you completely erased any feeling of doubt
To hold on or just let go

When you lied to me, but I lied too
You said you’d love me forever
I said I’d get over you
You lied to me, but I lied too
You lied to me, but I lied too
Yeah baby you lied to me, but I lied too
