In a hidden room where shadows cling
A young girl's voice begins to sing
Through the silence her words take flight
Carving courage in the night

Behind the pages she leaves her mark
With dreams that shatter in the dark
A world on fire can't dim her glow
In her diary truths overflow

The walls may hold her body tight
But can't contain her soul so bright
Her story woven into fate
A message that we won't negate

Anne's voice rises clear and true
Through every fear she faces too
Her heart keeps beating in the rain
In the ink she finds her name

Her laughter echoes through the pain
In a time of loss she sustains
With hopes that dance in every line
Her spirit fights against the time

She writes of love she writes of fear
Her whispers cross the yesteryear
A secret kept a soul laid bare
In words that float upon the air

The walls may hold her body tight
But can't contain her soul so bright
Her story woven into fate
A message that we won't negate  

The walls may hold her body tight
But can't contain her soul so bright
Her story woven into fate
A message that we won't negate

Anne's voice rises clear and true
Through every fear she faces too
Her heart keeps beating in the rain
In the ink she finds her name

My feet in the Ocean
Head in the Clouds
Watching the Heavens

Mindy Chisholm - Head In The Clouds

have you ever wondered
what it is that makes this world
so beautiful, yet so cruel

we look around 
but never see the faces
of the ones who have to endure
the pain and ridicule

so, hold on tight
hold on tight
to love tonight

hold on tight
hold on tight
and it will be alright

people run in circles
there’s no safe place for them to hide
a tragedy across the seven seas

calamity, insanity, humanity will have to make a choice 
to cure this sick disease.

so, hold on tight
hold on tight
to love tonight

hold on tight
hold on tight
and It will be alright

we all stand here before you
our heart placed in our hand
we pray for your forgiveness
and we hope you understand.

this world was never meant for us
evil took control
so when it comes to judgment day
i hope you save our soul.

if we hold on tight
hold on tight
to love tonight

hold on tight
hold on tight
and it will be alright

hold on tight
hold on tight
don’t give up the fight

Mindy Chisholm - Hold On Tight (feat. Yankee Doodle)

A simple wave, a kindly save for when the times are rough
We weave and sow, our faces show, we're made of sterner stuff
Though roads may wind, and sometimes we find the weight's a heavy load
We stand as one, from dawn till done, along this country road
Because we know, no matter the woe, we're each other's charm
Catch the scent of fresh brew, crossing the town square
Tales and memories we share, on the cool morning air

Every face tells its story in this place
Worn-in boots tread the paths of grace
Where the young and old softly interlace
In the quiet strength of our shared space
Warm smiles greet me

In this little hometown glow
With our hearts on our sleeves, we all know
You laugh, I laugh, we all find our own ground
Dreams we chase, love we found
When life gets tough, our grins never fade away

Mugs of coffee in worn-out hands
Cherishing the vast heartland
In every corner, in every street
Listening to the tap of our boots, our heartbeat
We wave, we greet, forming bonds without sound
In the embrace of kinship, firmly we're bound

With every step, in love there’s more
It’s a melody of ease, of memories drifting through the air
We come from different paths but there's magic we share
I roam, I don’t know

Where simple pleasure finds a way
In stories told, where children play
Familiar faces, in this place I roam
A symphony of life, each a different tone
But here we share one common thread
In every hello said
Warm smiles greet me

In this little hometown glow
With our hearts on our sleeves, we all know
You laugh, I laugh, we all find our own ground
Dreams we chase, love we found
When life gets tough, our grins never fade away

Trade stories on the porch, swing slow
Old friends pass by, just a nod, they know
Every wrinkle, every line
Tales of time, yours and mine
In this warmth of friendly exchange
We don't need words to explain

Mindy Chisholm - Hometown Glow

I may be simple, but I’m not blind
'Cause baby when I met you
You were one of a kind

Those magic moments
They make me smile
And I’ll never forget you
I’m so glad that I met you
And all I have to say is

I get lost in your eyes
You’re always surprising me
I just can’t hide
These feelings inside of me

I know it’s insane
There’s no one to blame
But there’s one thing that I know
You’re in love with your phone

When we’re together, I feel complete
But then you pull your phone out
And I can’t compete

I love the laughter
You make me smile
And I’ll never forget you
I’m glad that I met you
And all I have to say is

I get lost in your eyes
You’re always surprising me
I just can’t hide
These feelings inside of me

I know it’s insane
There’s no one to blame
But there’s one thing that I know
You’re in love with your phone

But in the silence when I am all alone 
And I see you're phone
I pick it up, and on the home screen
I see
It's a picture of me

I get lost in your eyes
You’re always surprising me
I just can’t hide
These feelings inside of me

I know it’s insane
There’s no one to blame
But there’s one thing that I know
You’re in love with your phone

Mindy Chisholm - You're In Love

Mindy Chisholm - Poetry

In a world of twelve, where time just flies
We're bound to rules, under clear blue skies
But I'm dreaming of a change, something new
A calendar with thirteen, a new world view

Should there be a 13-month calendar?
Break free from the norm, let's give it a try
No more counting days, no more routine
In this extra month, let's chase our dreams

January through December, a cycle so old
But in that missing month, our story unfolds
With 28 days each, and one more to spare
In the land of thirteen, we'll have time to share

Should there be a 13-month calendar?
Break free from the norm, let's give it a try
No more counting days, no more routine
In this extra month, let's chase our dreams
No more routine
In this extra month, let's chase our dreams

Underneath the 13th moon, we'll find our way
In this new rhythm of life, come what may
A world that's uncharted, a path unknown
In the 13-month calendar, we'd grow

From New Year's to December, and all in between
Our world's redefined by the calendar we've seen
With 13 months, there's more time to explore
The world's a canvas, let's paint some more

Should there be a 13-month calendar?
Break free from the norm, let's give it a try
No more counting days, no more routine
In this extra month, let's chase our dreams

Should there be a 13-month calendar?
Break free from the norm, let's give it a try
No more counting days, no more routine
In this extra month, let's chase our dreams

So here's to the dreamers, the ones who believe
In a world with 13 months, we can achieve
With each passing year, in this calendar we find
A life less ordinary, in the 13-month kind
In the 13-month kind

Mindy Chisholm - 13 Month Calendar (feat. Danny Rivers)

My edges are no longer sharp
Hours of screen jobs have stolen my charm
My empathetic database has been disarmed
Annihilated by the death machine's arm

When browsing it just makes me flustered
Then I fill up like a library dumpster
But sadness tastes so much sweeter with custard
Except for my Mom's yellow foodstuff
Which must hurt

Broccoli steaks
Their taste is too much
Could you thin the leaves in various bunches?
Broccoli steaks
My arteries are cut
If I had veins
A fork would pierce my covers

Grave-bound lunar taxi rides
Hypercurrencies picked me up off the street
I didn't have the money for a howdyunkan
I will sleep on ash
Trusting the westward breeze

Broccoli steaks
Their taste is too much
Could you thin the leaves in various bunches?
Broccoli steaks
My arteries are cut
If I had veins
A fork would pierce my covers

Please send more bugs and dirty jokes
Perhaps one inspired by another's belly
My flies buzz louder than gas-powered hoverboats
Look
I turned around; the plastic has all melted

Broccoli steaks
Their taste is too much
Could you thin the leaves in various bunches?
Broccoli steaks
My arteries are cut
If I had veins
A fork would pierce my covers

Mindy Chisholm - Broccoli Steaks

Sunshine days with laughter so bright
In the world we're lighting up the night
Friendship blooming in colors so wide
Together always on this joyful ride

Dreams as vast as the open blue sky
We chase them high we don't ask why
Heartbeats syncing like a perfect rhyme
Living fully in the present's prime

Good vibes only let's spread them here
With warm good wishes let’s draw near
Respect and kindness make us strong
Together we sing this happy song

In the moments that feel so rough
Love and compassion will be enough
Hand in hand we face what’s ahead
With good wishes in every thread

Laugh lines and stories we'll share
Building memories beyond compare
In the garden of life's grand art
Every good wish comes from the heart

Good vibes only let's spread them here
With warm good wishes let’s draw near
Respect and kindness make us strong
Together we sing this happy song

Mindy Chisholm - Good Vibes Only

You know, sometimes I wonder...
If we've forgotten the simplest things

Walking past
Not a glance
Phone in hand
In a trance

Remember those days?
When each "Hello" meant something
Remember those ways?
When kindness was everything

Bring back the please and thank you days
Bring back the please and thank you days
When doors were held
And smiles were free
Bring back the please and thank you days

Rush hour train
No empty seats
Elderly
On their feet

Remember those days?
When we'd make room for others
Remember those ways?
When we cared for one another

Bring back the please and thank you days
Bring back the please and thank you days
When time was spent
On courtesy
Bring back the please and thank you days

(It's so simple)
Just a word
(It's so easy)
To be heard
(It's not much now)
But it means
Everything

Morning shop
Coffee line
Not one soul
Says "You're fine"

Bring back the please and thank you days
Bring back the please and thank you days
Let's make a change
Start you and me
Bring back the please and thank you days

Please...
And thank you
It's not so hard
To be kind
Please...
And thank you
Please...
And thank you
One more time
