These nights keep returning and returning Sleepless nights and dreamless sleep causes paranoia for weeks and weeks. Though if I ever do dream again, I hope you'll be in my dreams tonight I'll take your hand and you'll take me to incredible heights. Above the clouds we'll fly Until our feet touch the ground covered by snow and ice. Only for my breath to be caught in the air, as I stare up at the Northern Lights. I don't want dawn to arrive Because I'll be forced to say goodbye Do not let me wake, knight of the skies Let's lay here for awhile longer So I can understand these wonders Yet, though I try, those dreams always end And I need a realistic friend One I can feel beside me One who talks to me One who laughs with me One who will love me And stays by my side as we count the stars at night.

Life was fun Back when we spent days out in the sun Our hearts were light And the world was always bright But now as I have grown older My mind has this hidden folder Ordinary at first sight But take a closer look and shivers will run down your spine Inside, are selfish thoughts of me But in all of them, I'm not breathing There must be a monster inside me Shredding my hopes and dreams But a small bird, sang a tune One that I wasn't immune to Yet this bird, kept my heart reassured With its beautiful tune Dear little bird, how can I say "thank you?" Since I no longer see you, Yet I'll still follow your song into the Light And maybe then I'll grow my own wings and take flight

Your dreams are crushed Pressure is building in the rush They're telling you it's now or never And that you need to surrender But here's what I have to say Dear little girl don't cry Everything's gonna be alright Don't look at me with those eyes The stars will be shining tonight Broken Hearts lie on the floor As you stand there &mourn Wondering why you were even born All the while feeling yourself being torn But here's what I have to say Dear little girl don't cry Everything's gonna be alright Don't look at me with those eyes The stars will be shining bright But you're questioning still Why you're feeling so hurt? As the world remains curt With their stinging words While you're living life submerged Have you lost all your courage? They'll leave you in tears Forcing someone to carry their curse So dear little girl don't cry Everything's gonna be alright Don't look at me with those eyes The stars are going to continue to shine Don't look at me with those tearful eyes The stars are going to shine bright tonight

My Father's anger at times will course through my veins, But much greater is His love that engulfs my soul.
