I was walking down the street
In my blue jeans and my bare feet I saw old Mrs. Mayo in her garden so high She got her prize azaleas And her big ole fat tomatoes She invited me in to have a piece of her pie And later on I thought I'd head on down By the Caley River to the old rope swing There was a bunch of kids laughin' and jumpin' in I sat down on the grass and I just watched them play And all my worries seemed to wash away [Chorus] Oh it's a magical thing When the sun is shining down on me And this is such a beautiful place Don't want to miss a minute of today it's So magical Tonight I'll go home and write myself a letter Tell myself to live a little freer and love a little better Gonna soak it in like there's no tomorrow And drink up every second like a big ole glass of water [Chorus] Oh I feel like I could fly When I see the world through these eyes [Chorus] |

She remembers when she first got her wings
And how she opened up that day she learned to sing Then the colors came, erased the black and white And her whole world changed when she realized [Chorus] She's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky Nothing's ever gonna bring her down And everywhere she goes Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive She's a butterfly Like the purest light in a darkened world So much hope inside such a lovely girl You should see her fly, it's almost magical It makes you want to cry, she's so beautiful [Chorus] God bless the butterfly, give her the strength to fly Never let her wings touch the ground God bless the butterfly, give her strength to fly Never let her wings touch the ground [Chorus] God bless the butterfly, give her the strength to fly Never let her wings touch the ground God bless the butterfly, give her the strength to fly Never let her wings touch the ground |

This is no
Yellow brick road We've been travelin' on A river of tears Washed us here We're right where we belong We rode it out No we didn't drown And look at what we've found [Chorus] Every street we take Is paved with truth If a mountain's in our way That's a mountain we move Baby there ain't nothin' we can't do Since me and you Built a city of love Through shiftin' sands With our own hands We dug to solid ground Where we found out What love's about Yeah there's no stoppin' us now Yeah on our own stone by stone We built a fortress strong where [Chorus: x2] |

This is for all you girls about thirteen,
High school can be so rough can be so mean, Hold on to on to your innocence, Stand your ground when everybody's givin' in. This one's for the girls This is for all you girls about twenty five, In little apartments just tryin' to get by, Livin' on on dreams and spaghetti-o's, Wonderin' where your life is gonna go. [Chorus] This one's for the girls, Who've ever had a broken heart, Who've wished upon a shooting star, Your beautiful the way you are, This one's for the girls, Who love without holdin' back, Who dream with everything they have, All around the world, This one's for the girls. This is for all you girls about forty two, Tossin' pennies into the fountain of youth, Every life line on your face, Made you who you are today. [Chorus] Yeah we're all the same inside, From one to ninety nine [Chorus] |

There's a boat, I could sail away
There's the sky, I could catch a plane There's a train, there's the tracks I could leave and I could choose to not come back Oh, never come back There you are giving up the fight Here I am begging you to try Talk to me, let me in But you just put your wall back up again Oh, when's it gonna end How far do I have to go to make you understand I wanna make this work so much it hurts but I just can't Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are So, I'm gonna walk away And it's up to you to say how far There's a chance I could change my mind But I won't, not 'till you decide What you want, what you need Do you even care if I stay or leave Oh, what's it gonna be How far do I have to go to make you understand I wanna make this work so much it hurts but I just can't Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are So, I'm gonna walk away And it's up to you to say how far Out of this chair or just across the room Halfway down the block or halfway to the moon How far do I have to go to make you understand I wanna make this work so much it hurts but I just can't Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are So, I'm gonna walk away And it's up to you to say Yeah, I'm gonna walk away And it's up to you to say how far |

Jesus, tell my Father, I wanna be His child again. Tell Him what my name is, In case He's forgotten. Tell Him I'm the woman at the well, Drawing water. And, I'm sorry if I've been His, Reluctant daughter. Jesus, tell my angels, To keep me in their prayers. Remind them how I need, To feel them everywhere. Tell them I ready to drink, Living water. I don't want my angels to think I'm His, Reluctant daughter. *instrument bridge* Jesus, tell my Father, I want to come to heaven. Tell Himmto shout my name out, So I won't be forgotten. |

Phones were ringing, tongues were wagging
Hot gossip was flying All around town She heard the talk, the lowdown was The shameless color of Her wedding gown It's white I mean really who's she trying to kid Everybody knows the things she did It just isn't right Won't that be a sight To see her wearing white She was wild, a wayward child To put it mildly She made her life a mess But she was young, the past is done Now she's in love And putting on a new dress It's white And it's nobody's business what she wears Anyway the truth is she don't care Baby it's her life She'll do what she likes And she likes wearing white He's all nerves when he sees her As far as he's concerned She's an angel In white He just can't believe that she is his What a crazy miracle this is Who she was he don't mind 'Cause on their wedding night She'll be wearing white She'll be wearing white She'll be wearing white |

Sometimes I feel like I never quite fit in
Like I'm always a little out of place It's hard to be everything to everyone There's so many roles I have to play Sometimes I'm just barely hanging on Seems like I'm always fighting to be strong To find somewhere that I belong [Chorus] When you love me every part of me feels Like I'm right where I'm meant to be When you touch me you reach through to My soul to the truest place in me Baby in your arms I'm free To just be a woman I can't believe how beautiful I feel There is nothing here to hide I'm unafraid and so completely real Oh and never more alive This life can be so hard to understand But your eyes oh they see me as I am And you take me as I am [Chorus] Baby hold me close never let me go Never let me go [Chorus] To just be a woman |

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear But the truth is plain to see She was sent to rescue me I see who I wanna be In my daughter's eyes In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak I find reason to believe In my daughter's eyes And when she wraps her hand around my finger Oh it puts a smile in my heart Everything becomes a little clearer I realize what life is all about It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough It's giving more when you feel like giving up I've seen the light It's in my daughter's eyes In my daughter's eyes I can see the future A reflection of who I am and what will be Though she'll grow and someday leave Maybe raise a family When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me For I'll be there In my daughter's eyes |

I was alone in the dark Never let down my guard Closed the curtain on my heart So the world could not see All the demons in me Told myself I was free Then you showed me how wrong I could be [Chorus:] Now I'm standing on a mountain of rubble That once was a wall Took years to build around me And you came along And you tore it down Like it was nothing at all Now it's a little scary Learning to fall When you looked in my eyes Past the fear and false pride You saw goodness inside I can't believe how I feel I believe love is real And I'm ready to heal You show me how right I can be [Chorus] I was holding on, now I'm letting go I was holding on, now I'm letting go I was holding on, now I'm letting go [Chorus] |

I met God's will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves It hid the braces on his legs at first His smile was as bright as the August sun When he looked at me As he struggled down the driveway It almost made me hurt Will don't walk too good Will don't talk too good He won't do the things that the other kids do In our neighborhood I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin' Lost and lookin' all my life I've been wounded, jaded, loved, and hated I've wrestled wrong and right He was a boy without a father And his mother's miracle I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin' I guess I would be still Yeah, that was until I knew God's will Will's mom had to work two jobs We'd watch him when she had to work late And we'd all laugh like I hadn't laughed Since I don't know when Hey Jude was his favorite song At dinner he'd ask to pray And then he'd pray for everybody in the world but him I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin' Lost and lookin' all my life I've been wounded, jaded, loved, and hated I've wrestled wrong and right He was a boy without a father And his mother's miracle I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin' I guess I would be still Yeah, that was until I knew God's will Before they moved to California His mother said they didn't think he'd live And she said each day that I have him Well It's just another gift And I never got to tell her That the boy showed me the truth In crayon red, on notebook paper He'd written me and God love you I've been searchin', prayin', wounded, jaded I guess I would be still Yeah that was until I met God's will on a Halloween night He was dressed as a bag of leaves |

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream, Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops, High above the chimney tops, That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I? Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream, Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops, High above the chimney tops, That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I? |
