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

~~*~~
