Torture Town

To Feel Good With You

Swing Low Amazing Grace

Rise Above For Love

Here is a tune for the heartstrings. This song speaks of the hidden pain many people experience. People we see as the happiest and the strongest often live with unseen troubles. This song touches on being there for a friend during a dark time. If this speaks to you, please feel free to share it with your friends. Perhaps one who is going through a tough time. Thank you for listening...

Lyrics:
What would you do my friend 
If it was me instead of you? 
Roll reversed on the brink of the worst 
So far gone barely hanging on 
I believe you’d take my hand 
Help me to stand 
And see me smiling again 
But here you are now 
I'm not going anywhere 

Go ahead fight off my reach 
I won’t quit that easily 
What would it take for you to believe 
That your not alone now? 
You’re not alone now 

When there’s a need you get things done 
You make people feel alright 
You smile at total strangers 
You feel the pain in there eyes 
But your own pain you feel 
You conceal it so well 
And here you are now 
I’m not going anywhere 

Go ahead fight off my reach 
I won’t quit that easily 
What would it take for you to believe 
That your not alone now? 
You’re not alone now 
You’re not alone now 
You're not alone now 

Out there in the dark 
Hang on Hang on 
Out there with no spark 
Won’t you hang on 

Go ahead fight off my reach 
I won’t quit that easily 
What would it take for you to believe 
That your not alone now? 
You’re not alone now 
You’re not alone now 
You're not alone now 

What would you do my friend 
If it was me instead of you?
