I'm coming out of my wishing well
Where only echoes lonely hear my prayers
I'm coming around to bending cause my resistance been far too persistent
I've come too far to force it so I'll watch it slide and land
I could come on strong and willful but
I'd rather watch it fall to the palm of my hand
Chorus:
And when I set it free like a feather it will be
And when I rise to see it done like whatever it will be it will be
I'm taking a breather baby
From sitting on pins waiting for my sky to fall
I'm taking up giving in
So here's the wheel, I'm putting my feet up
Take another look at me baby
Today I'm taking on catastrophe
I'd rather take it easy
Than try to force what's on its way to me
Chorus:
And when I set it free like a feather it will be
And when I rise to see it done like whatever it will be it will be
We're only afraid if we pull back the blinds too far
The light behind that we free will blind other stars
But the truth doesn't blind it helps to see far
so get ready to be
. . .

I am a woman with a mission and a past to outdo
I don't need a gun I've got a microphone and a melody or two
Just like the earth has spent a thousand years making up for what we do
So have I for you
Your seeds of misery have sprouted and they try to block my way
The worst gets the better of you and you try to disarm me with an embrace
Just like the heart that's spent a lifetime forgiving what is cruel
So have I for you
Well mama you can choose the rain but I choose the sun
That's all I need to free myself
I am a woman with a mission and a past to outdo
I don't need a gun I've got a microphone and a melody or two
Just like the earth has spent a thousand years making up for what we do
So have I for you
I have justified every wave in our ocean
I have covered every range of emotion
And just like the sea has spent eternity at the mercy of the moon
So have I for you
Well mama you can choose the rain but I choose the sun
That's all I need to free myself
This bird's gonna fly so high
Watch my sky come undone
Mama you can choose the rain

There are times in our lives
When our hearts fear our minds
We can't afford to ignore
What our hearts are beating for
My soul wants to go one way
But my heart and mind playing a tug of war with me baby
Cut to the truth and watch it bleed
And in the wounds just what we need
It's everywhere if we dare
To trust the fall to lead you there
My soul wants to go one way
But my heart and mind playing a tug of war with me baby
Let me out of this cage
I'm begging for mercy I'm being your slave
What do you want me to see, my eyes are inflamed
With the rage that's among us when we come of age
There's nothing I don't know, just hasn't come to me yet
We're only trying to remember what we choose to forget
Everybody's a child that is open and free
If we can trust ourselves to be indiscreet

My face to the sky
Dreaming about just how high
I could go and I'll know
When I finally get there
Taking of my glasses
Sun pokes through my lashes
And somehow I know
There's a time for every star to shine
Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
People keeping score
Say better hurry up and get yours
Cause somebody else get your spot
Before you even dropped
Seek and you shall find
Everything in my own sweet time
I'll take my chances
With what I believe is only mine
Busy holding on
So the roof don't fly
Keep you from moving on
So get it right
Turn the tide over
Like a love song
Like a butterfly
Believe if you hand it over
You'll come out all right
Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
Illuminate the silly things
Shed some light on all that's wrong
Everybody need it sometime
Sometimes the only thing you got
Is what makes you feel like
You're something else altogether
You have everything don't need
Another reason to be something
I've been on a ride
And caught up in the landslide
But I'm gonna spread my wings and fly...
Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
There's a time for every star
. . .

It's late in the evening
And you're breathing with someone else
You come home to call me
And I ask you what you've been doing with yourself
And you say nothing at all
You say nothing at all
You flight is longer that usual
And you conscience ain't no company
I'm there smiling and warm I missed you so
And can't wait to show you how I feel
But you feel nothing at all
You feel nothing at all
There we were
Never strangers before
There was a light that shined on us
But now there's nothing at all
You should've taken a look around
Before you laid that woman down
You better get a hold of yourself
Cause there's a woman here
Who's willing to try
Weeks go by
And you mind seems preoccupied
I feel a piece missing here
But when I ask you about what's going on
You say it's all me my dear
So I thought nothing at all
I thought nothing at all
You should've taken a look around
Before you laid that woman down
You better get a hold of yourself
Cause there's a man in you
About to die
With nothing
. . .

Y'all know my steelo
What if I was the one to leave your sorry ass behind
What if all these tears that're falling were yours instead of mine
What if I was proof? all the wiser by the minute
What if I knew your were making a bed and just who was lying in it
Hope it felt good to say you love her
Hope it felt good baby baby baby
Hope it felt good to be with another
Hope it felt good yeah yeah yeah
And uhm...
What if I just wipe the floor with your love without even thinking
What if the thread you were hanging on had you strung out on wishful thinking
I've become clearer since I came out from under the wrong impression
I've been stuck on the detour baby heading in the wrong direction
Hope it felt good to say you love her
Hope it felt good baby baby baby
Hope it felt good to be with another
Hope it felt good yeah yeah yeah
I hope it felt good yeah
I hope it felt good yeah
I hope it felt good for you baby
I hope it felt good for you baby
Oh you're killing me baby
Alright
Oh didn't it feel good baby
I hope it felt good
. . .

Like the day looks forward to the rising sun
Like the sun that everyday kiss the tide
Like the bridges that leads you to the other side
I'm everyday thankful that you're the one
If you chased me baby I'd be still as stone
Cause babe you bring my smile on like no other
There ain't no deeper feeling I get nowhere than
When I'm the skin beneath your hands
You're some kind of beautiful in my life
I don't need to hide my willingness
To revel at the beauty that you possess
Like every grain of sand that rolls with the sea
Just like heaven you and Ii will forever be
. . .

I take you in and I hold my breath
Try to save the time that's passing by
And if you came to say goodbye
A thousand summers would never dry
Every tear that touched my face
And they don't laugh the way you do
And they don't smile the way you do
And their eyes don't shine the way yours do
I love
I love
I love you just because
Without the words to fall back on
I'm afraid it's hopeless to describe
And if I tried, I'd probably steer you wrong
Cause a thousand phrases would never say
How I feel today
And they don't laugh the way you do
And they don't smile the way you do
And their eyes don't shine the way yours do
I love
I love
. . .

Mr. Nothing's got a lot
He's got a lot to say
He's good at being what he's not
Gives nothing away
Another day goes on by
And he never speaks his heart
He takes his chance with what he's got
It's too late now to stop
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It's tying you up while you're fadin'
You give and you take and take what you got
Round and round 'till it breaks and
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It's tying you up while you're fadin' into your lie
Mr. Nothing is late
He's running out of time
He questions whether chance or fate will ever show a sign
Looks to the sky above
For a glimpse of what it means
And never never never make
Make no sense to him
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It's tying you up while you're fadin'
You give and you take and take what you got
Round and round 'till it breaks and
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It's tying you up while you're fadin' into your lie
. . .

Meet me in the stillness
Away from all this madness
I'll give you a piece of me
If you'll give me a moment
To let you into the corners of my mind
I looked into a stranger
And found my soul waiting there
It hit me like a siren
To see myself everywhere
And I saw that I knew him like the corners of my mind
And like every other soul
You feel the night come on hard and go slow
And life goes on and on and it goes
In the corners of my mind
So shed your skin for me
Let's pull back the covers
There's so much about ourselves
We're yet to discover
So won't you let me in to the corners of your mind
We pass on chance with our eyes to the ground
It only takes a minute to see what's around
But instead we choose to reside in the corners of our minds
So I stand before you now
Faulty but not broken
Fragile like the break of day
And sometimes sad like words unspoken
But I'll let you in
I'll let you in to the corners of my mind
And like every other soul
You feel the night come on hard and go slow
And life goes on and on and it goes
. . .
