RIPPING HER TO PIECES

Need to talk to you
I will even plead
Give you anything
Everything I have
She's taken all she can

Can't say I understand
Don't know what's wrong with you
You grew up family strong
No matter what you do
I know, that you know
You're ripping her to pieces

Why don't you grow up
Your not a little boy
Try to be a man
Her heart is not your toy
But it's something you can destroy...
You're ripping it to pieces

~~~*Chorus*~~~
If you care for anyone
Please let it be her
Lose the self destructive ways
Be the soul you were 
You can't make love disappear
She would die for you
You're ripping her to pieces
Is that what you're trying to do
~~*~~

You can block me out 
Ignore every word
Stay the fool you play
Keep on killing her
Tell me, what could be the reason
You're ripping her to pieces...

When her heart gives in
She's no longer here
Will it wake you up
Who will dry your tears

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
It won't be her...
It can't be once you've killed her
You're ripping her to pieces
Soon she'll be gone forever
Stop this now
I don't care how
I won't ever understand the reason
Grow up and be a man
Take care of yourself
And stop ripping her to pieces
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
If you care for anyone
Please let it be her
Lose the self destructive ways
Be the soul you were 
You can't make love disappear
She would die for you
You're ripping her to pieces
Is that what you're trying to do
~~*~~

FOREVER'S NOT THAT FAR

Didn't know time flew by like this
Thought I had forever to live 
When you find out how fast it flies
Man,  time picks up the pace
And your dreams, so short and sweet
Stare you in the face....

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Stop hating 
Quit hurting
Look in a mirror
No judging
No cheating
No bullies, no fear
No gossip, no witch-hunts
Be good with whom you are
You think you have forever
But forever's not that far
~~*~~

Everything before the race began
Leaving it behind
Shake it off, Start again, Walk up to the line
Got to do this better, than I ever have before
Thought I had the time to kill
But I don't any more
I want the rush
Before it's all done...
I want love...

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
I know the odds, the final score
Some are evil to the core
Some will forfeit, some will cheat
But some will race for love with me
Hasn't every body finally had enough!
Let's race for love
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Stop hating 
Quit hurting
Look in a mirror
No judging
No cheating
No bullies, no fear
No gossip, no witch-hunts
Be good with whom you are
You think you have forever
But forever's not that far
~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~
Forever's not that far, I've had enough
Gonna race for love
~~*~~

I LOVE ALASKA

Sitting on a bluff in Alaska 
Mid July... 
The midnight sun 
Sinking behind "The Sleeping Lady"
 I have found... 
My newest love 

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I Love Alaska
The glaciers, rivers and the trees...
I Love Alaska
The mountains and the ebbing sea
Oh
I didn't think my heart would sway
But the minute I got off that plane
I knew...
I Loved Alaska
~~*~~

Standing on the bank of the "Kenai"
Looking down...
So wild and free
Beauty and power overwhelm me
Marvel of...
A sea foam green

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Blooming everywhere is the bright pink Fireweed
 Saw more eagles today, than I have ever seen
Witnessing the Northern lights 
Grace the darkened skies...
Is one more thing to keep me here
Emotionally high...

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I Love Alaska
The glaciers, rivers and the trees...
I Love Alaska
The mountains and the ebbing sea
Oh
I didn't think my heart would sway
But the minute I got off that plane
I knew...
I Loved Alaska
~~*~~
