Life
Life is like a roll-a-coaster
One minute you’re happy
The next you're mad
Life, I wonder why it's like that
But we will never know
I wish life wasn't a roll-a-coaster
At time it's a one-way ticket to heaven or hell

Life 2: What's the point?
I walk in a world of faces
Some familiar, some are not
Life has much happiness or sadness
Life what's the point of it all?
I wonder everyone has
Everyone wishes for peace
That would be nice but I wish for love

Faces
The face I wear is nothing but an act
The face of happiness is the mask
All it is but an act
The way I feel is suppressed within
People say, "I'm happy"
But truly inside I'm not

Voices
The voices you hear every day are friends and family
You speak but no one listens
Change we all need
Voices and places
Voices and time will change
And you'll be heard

Change
Change, it needs to happen
Change, it a reverse without time
Change will come
Change in life and friends
Change it will happen to you and me
Change will happen for better or for worst
Change its here…

Friends Divide
I woke up yesterday to a beautiful sky
People through the day would be at play
I woke up this morning to an ugly sky
One wants answers, the other not caving in
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
My friends divided

Strangers
We all used to be friends

Cause of a stupid thing

Strangers that's what we are

Goddess
There was a person I knew
She thought she was a goddess, I thought so too
The person had grace, spirit, style, and charm
Then one-day goddess said to me
“I’m sad, I need love and guidance”
Then I told goddess, I'd be there no matter what

Sands of Time
I visited the Sands of Time
The place is so magical, so beautiful,
So calm, I could stay all day
I visited the Sands of Time
The place of beauty and magic
I visited The Sands of Time
The place grant wishes to what the heart desirers
If you make a picture in the Sands of Time, the wish will come true,
I drew a picture in the Sands of Time then I left to come back for another day
I visited the Sands of Time
I came back to this beautiful land and I said to me “what they say is true”
I visited the Sands of Time
And I left the place of beauty, happiness and love

The Wanderer
I saw a man at the bar; we talked,
After a while I asked what his name was
The man said, “Call me The Wanderer”
“The Wanderer, what a funny name” I said
We laughed and talked, and then it was time for us to go
The next day I went back and the man was gone
Then on the seat next to me where The Wanderer sat
There was a note for me saying “we will meet again” signed The Wanderer

Hidden Love
I knew a guy, we were great friends
I had secret feeling for him a hidden love
Everyone around assumed we were in love,
But we just had a hidden love, a few years
Passed I was on my own and having a great life
I may have been having the greatest time of my life,
But I still thought of my friend and the hidden love that was there
I was walking around the college, as I was walking I ran into my old friend
My friend didn’t recognize me until I said his name,
He was shocked but then he knew me right away and,
The hidden love wasn’t hidden anymore and we fell in love.

Endless Love
I walk through the halls
It was endless love
Friends said it would never last
It was endless love
Every time I was with him, I thought life was like a movie
It was endless love
Teachers said don’t date him, I asked why
They said he was bad and destroys lives,
I laughed and said no he would never do that
It was endless love
I was at home and so was my “boyfriend”, he said, “let’s go upstairs”, I said no
It was endless love
Then he said well let’s stay here
It was endless love

Inner Peace and Love
Life is complicated but,
What we need is inner peace,
With ourselves and one another,
Inner peace is what everyone looks for,
Before we can make peace with one another,
And end all wars is we need to find inner peace,
In ourselves to stop the hating, we need to try to find this,
Inner peace and start loving ourselves, Inner peace and love,
Is the key to happiness and ending all wars?

Friends help you when you need help,
Friends are always there when you need them

Serenade of Love
I always thought loneliness was my prisoner
That was until I saw you
You were strong smart and brave
I hold you close to my heart and hope one day we'll meet again
I still can hear your voice whispering sweet words and
The serenade of love
I can still picture you and
I remember the first time we kissed
It was warm and it sang our serenade of love
Our love still strong and
My heart still sings the serenade of love

Chaos
I walk in a world of endless pain, but it's a pain I only know and can feel
This pain has always been with me; it's been controlled over time
But now it cannot I've been having thoughts of ending and more
This pain of chaos has been getting worse by the minute, I pray that someone will hear me and be with me when I can't take it anymore, the pain has been growing and I need help, I can help others very easily but no one will help me
I call out and say I need help please stay with me and listen
I can't take the pain anymore; if some people would just care enough to help me and show me the right path... will you be there for me?

From Heaven to Hell
I am an angel that has broken wings and has been condemned by god
I've been sent to hell
I have been stripped of everything and condemned from heaven
I am an angel that has done everything to stay happy and free condemnation
I was in heaven now I have been sentenced to hell
Has this always been my fate, away from the ones I would love to call friends?
All I've felt is pain and suffering
I have to hide the pain from the ones I would love
I have to stay away from the ones that want to help and want to stop the pain
I am an angel that has broken wings and has been condemned by god

Serene Light
Darkness to Light, we have a special bond
Tonight, we'll conquer the darkness and light shin
Our way, darkness will become day and it will
Be a day we will remember, with our love and
Strength we will conquer the shadows and fears of men
The Serene Light will be the justice and hope for us all
