1.
Sometimes, when you can't find the beauty in your life And you feel life your life has slipped away Lost your grip and time is flowing like a ship On through the haze, your dreams flashing, you need patience and compassion Call on me Sometimes, when all you see is darkness in the night And you wonder what it is that brought you here, to this place Tears are falling down your face but deep inside You find your measure, all the fears and all the pleasures Listen to me Tears of joy, tears of pain, you must break the chains That hold you down and keep you from all you can be Mother, be my wife, go find your inner light Let your love shine down and spread all your light all around So when you need a lover and a friend And you wonder when the smiles will come again Give me your hand, I'm here to help you stand In the stars and on the sand, beginning and the end Turn to me Gold is the color of the rainbow But red is the color of my dreams Oh, let me hold you, let me enfold you Shine your light

It's hard, I know Because you're wondering which way to go The decisions you make Can bond or break your heart And the feelings that you hold down inside May be bottled up, but not blind They can explode like a seed and fill you with a need that grows You're looking for direction The doubt is written like a poem on your face And I'm looking for connection You are my lover, my friend, and I hope you find your place I remember the night That you came into my life My blood was hard and dry My sould was withered and twisting in the wind But you came and you kissed it away And I thought I heard you say you'd stay Something unique is unfolding Tell me that you'll help it along We've known it We've held it We've tested and tasted But we still don't quite believe it Because it'll be long But we can be strong If we care I will always be there So no matter what distractions unfold If you love me, then say your at home With your heart in my heart Tell me it's a matter of time And I say I love you I want you But watch out for the silence That can bruise you and beat you

When the world outside is tearing you apart I fight my way into your heart And when the storms blow cold And the sun fails it's light, and you're tired of the fight Let my strength keep you whole And shelter you in the night When the world breaks your heart I will make everything alright Because pain always flows To where God only knows I am the eye of the storm I'll keep you safe, I'll keep you warm And when you want to run Your doubts will be undone When the wolves are tearing you apart I build a roof over your heart So when you look and think you cannot find It's in my love, it's in my eyes And now I know you feel tired and alone My aim is always true, watch me build this life around you We will break the walls down We will stand down the rain We will face life as two We will never be alone again We'll live the life that we choose Love bravely, you'll never lose When sadness claws at your door You have my all, I'll give you more In life you can't be afraid To take the road for which you were made It's never easy when you start To build a roof over your heart

Your pretty face washes black and blue From all the lovers that have been in you And I wonder if I'm getting through at all I never though I'd sound out those four letters Spread out and written across your sweater It begins with a kiss and it ends with a nasty letter Oh, you're my little Miss Trust The curve of your lips are wrong They write me letters saying I'm weak not strong But I don't hear those lips (oh no) Ah, love is a strain! When I was young I heard a story from a friend And it still echoes in my head But I'm still standing here And I'm wiser and I'm stronger than you know And I never let go
