02_ Destiny
Destiny calls me
It calls my name
Bright lights and the night life
Breaking out of my small town chains
mmm, it's gonna be okay
I'm gonna get away
Driving in the clear moonlight
See all the stars shining bright
I'll be back around someday...
but I need to escape
Destiny calls me
Away from my home town
I gotta build my own legacy, yeah
Packed up while the sun shines
My Mountaineer is ready for the miles
Looked back, I waved goodbye
Get on with my life now with the biggest smile
mmm, my dream is coming true
From dirt roads to avenues
Driving in downtown tonight
Buildings block out the starlight
I never thought I'd see the day
When I would make my way
Destiny called me
Away to the city
Time to build my own legacy
Time to build my own legacy
03_ Lifetime
You are the sunshine in the rain
You are the breath of fresh air
You are the one who keeps me going
Love for you is overflowing
When you are near me
My heart rate increases
My love for you is - forever ceaseless
Reverie, I need you to be here with me for eternity
Sweet paramour, how I need you more
You're the only one that I adore
All my love, for you, valentine
I will love you... more than a lifetime
I'm weak, you give me so much strength
I'm lost, you always light my way
I'm shy, but you've broken my chains
I'm so in love, I feel it in my veins
When you are near me
My heart rate increases
My love for you is - forever ceaseless
Reverie, I need you to be here with me for eternity
Sweet paramour, how I need you more
You're the only one that I adore
All my love, for you, valentine
I will love you... more than a lifetime
More than a lifetime
05_ Brave
Going through something new
Plunge right in, just begin
Take a deep breath, for what's next
Make the first step and don't forget
​
Start a revolution... courage evolution
​
I am brave; I'm not afraid
I'll make my way; I am brave
​
Ready now, here I go
Have no fear, my thoughts are clear
My journey has given me
All the strength to break these chains
​
Start a revolution... courage evolution
I am brave; I'm not afraid
I'll make my way; I am brave
How would I know if I should go
Fear holds me back
I can do it; nothing to it
Zero panic
​
I am brave; I'm not afraid
I'll make my way; I am brave
​
08_ Moments
You are the one
With the endless love
Heavenly serenity from you
You are the air
I breathe everywhere
Oxygen it fills my lungs with you
In these moments
When I need you
You are always there for me
Patient and caring
When I am failing
You always know how to lift me upward
Grace is unending
When pain is descending
Hold my hand when sadness is my world
In these moments
When I need you
You are always there for me
​
06_ Freedom
I could walk right through the fire
The embers burn, smoke rises higher
My lungs are ash, but I breathe you in
Hold my hand, ooh, let me feel your skin
​
I'm more than I... could ever be
When you're with me, when you're with me
Effortlessly, you make me free
When you're with me, when you're with me
​
The sea is deep, but I am floating
On a cloud, in the wind we're flowing
See the waves, they crash below me
In your arms, ooh, I feel safety
​
I'm more than I... could ever be
When you're with me, when you're with me
Effortlessly, you make me free
When you're with me, when you're with me
​
I see your eyes, they take me over, ooh, ohh
You crack a smile and I lose composure
I lose composure, I lose composure
​
I'm more than I... could ever be
When you're with me, when you're with me
Effortlessly, you make me free
When you're with me, when you're with me
​
09_ Forever
When we first met then
You brought me back to life
You taught me how to love again
You showed me to the light
And I knew right then
You are the breeze in a heat wave
You are the light in the darkest cave
You are the better part of me
Alone, I am incomplete
You are the bridge across the ocean
You are my glue when I am broken
You are the antidote for all my pain
You are the shelter in the pouring rain
When you reach your arm out and
Put your hand on my hand
My heart skips a beat
And I forget to breathe (don't forget, just breathe)
I want to be with you forever
For us to always be together
Eternity is not long enough with you
One life is just too short with you
You make me so happy
How lucky could I be
So I'm down on one knee
Asking you, "Will you marry me?"
Will you marry me?
Will you marry me?
Will you marry me?

Can you feel it?
Do you fear it?
Do you like it?
Why try to fight?
The nerves, they get real bad
Just go do what you planned
I don't understand
Just run away like you always seem to do
No matter what, pressure always gets to you
And all the work, all the pain that you went through
Do you continue?
My heart's beating
I stop breathing
Inside screaming
What's this feeling?
The nerves, they get real bad
Just go do what you planned
I don't understand
Just run away like you always seem to do
No matter what, pressure always gets to you
And all the work, all the pain that you went through
Do you continue?
Breathe in, breathe out (x4)
Watch as my hands tremble and my legs begin to shake
The nerves are building while the floor I start to pace
Years of preparation, but I'm not ready now
I want to leave, but I just can't turn back now
Time to go now
I'm going for it, ooh
Make them all proud
Here we go (x3)
Won't run away like I always used to do
No matter what, courage always gets me through
And all the work, all the knowledge I pursued
I will continue

11_ Remember
I remember getting a phone call from my mother
I remember hearing her tell me about my father
She said he was gone but thankfully he did not suffer
He was in heaven
God beckoned him
I always remember
The 1st of September
That was the day that everything changed
I'll always remember
When heaven was entered
By one more angel, one less on earth
Our loss was God's gain
Everything thing had changed in such a short amount of time
No one ever had the opportunity to offer their goodbyes
Feel the hurt, the pain, the rage, the loss, and ask God why
He's been in heaven
Since 2007
I always remember
The 1st of September
That was the day that everything changed
I'll always remember
When heaven was entered
By one more angel, one less on earth
Our loss was God's gain
04_ Promises
Time's up, I've yet to keep my promise
Trust me, I haven't forgotten
I know, I've yet to remain honest
Broken promise is a lie
Believe me when I tell you that
I will follow through for you
As a matter of fact
I just need a little more time
Time is ticking
Likelihood is slipping
This is just the beginning
Tick tock, time is going by
You said that you'd give it a try
These words have become a lie
Good for you, one more year has gone by
So here we are again now
Nothing has changed since last year
Did you really think I could explain how
I keep on breaking all these promises
Time is ticking
Likelihood is slipping
This is just the beginning
Tick tock, time is going by
You said that you'd give it a try
These words have become your lie
Good for you, one more year goes by
Time's up for you
It's time to move
Need to improve
What am I gonna do?
Tick tock, time is going by
You said that you'd give it a try
These words have become your lie
Good for you, one more year goes by
Promises are broken each year
Apathy will persevere
07_ Alive
What a day, what a week, what a month I've had
I just, need a night, free from all demands on me
So, then I call 'em up, my good friends, "meet me at the club"
We just need a night, to just live it up, to erupt, get messed up
We step into the disco and the music takes us over, then...
We get up to the counter and we buy a round and down 'em, then
We walk into the next room when we hear the bass is thumpin', then
We get up on the dance floor 'cause the bop has got us jumpin'
(jumpin', jumpin', jumpin', jumpin')
We dancin', and we swayin', and we movin' to the rhythm, then...
We livin', and we tryin', 'cause the nae nae is our mission, now...
We drinkin', and we shot'n, w/ good music in the background, and
We laugh'n, and we vibe'n, as we groove'n to the sound
(groove to the sound)
Feeling good tonight
Better than alright
See the light in my eyes shining oh so bright
Alive, inside, I like it
What a night, feel those vibes, they feel right alright
All these flashing lights, shining bright like dynamite
Time to close, gotta go, hey I know, let's go to our home
It's close by, it's not far, gotta find a ride, cabs drive by, now get inside
We get our friends all over 'cause we need to have a party, then
We poppin' bottles to be served; we pourin' cups with lime Bacardi
(we) throwin' shade, we laugh it up, we sing along, we fill them cups
We drink 'em down, we take a shot; we rinse, repeat, we cannot stop
(cannot stop, cannot stop, cannot stop)
We dancin', and we swervin', oh, we're movin' to that beat, then...
We twistin', and we curvin', hear that tempo and repeat, but
We lookin' at the timin', and the party starts to die, and
We're thinkin' that this evenin' was the best night of our life
(of our life)
Feeling good tonight
Better than alright
See the light in my eyes shining oh so bright
Alive, inside, I like it
I wake up in the morning and I feel my head is poundin', so
I walk into the bathroom and I pop a tab of Aspirin, then
I go into the kitchen and I start to make some coffee, then
I look into the next room when I start to feel real queasy
(real queasy, icky, icky, woozy)
I'm forgetting all the details and my memory is hazy, so
I grab my phone to take a look and see if I'm just crazy
But my head feels like a hurricane, a BNSF choo-choo train
It must've been the 30 flutes of Joey's favorite Brut champagne
Or the 20 Captains that I drank with no restraint
Feeling good tonight
Better than alright
See the light in my eyes shining oh so bright
Alive, inside, I like it
Alive, inside, I like it
12_ Tethered
As gravity pulls me closer to you
Reality hits me and I breakthrough
My apathy gone because of you
I'm happy and strong, I feel brand new
I'm tethered to you, forever I do; I'll never refuse my muse
When I'm weathered and clueless, and I don't want to do this
Cause I'm feeling foolish
And we're severed and confused, but nothing could move us, ooh
Because you can't remove us... that would be useless
We always get through this
Our souls are bound for eternity
A perfect union in harmony
Our fusion of two beating hearts into one
An evolution of a human
I'm tethered to you, forever I do; I'll never refuse my muse
When I'm weathered and clueless, and I don't want to do this
Cause I'm feeling foolish
And we're severed and confused, but nothing could move us
Because you can't remove us... that would be useless
We always get through this
When you hold my hand; I step into a dream land
When you look into my eyes; I still feel the butterflies
