"the sun's still shining when I close my eyes"... "reminds me of Cher/ she's always changing the color of her hair"... "yesterday left my head kicked in"... "why am I short of attention?/ got a short little span of attention/ and oh, my nights are so long"... "I want to do it all/ see Paris in the fall/ fight city hall/ feel good in my skin"... "we were meant to live for so much more/ have we lost ourselves?"... "follow your dreams/ become a queen like you should"... "I spent a day by the river/ it was quiet and the wind stood still/ I spent some time with nature/ to remind me of all that's real/ it's funny how silence speaks sometimes when you're alone/ and remember that you feel... again I stand/ Lord, I stand/ against the faceless man/ now I saw a face on the water/ it looked humble but willing to fight/ I saw the will of a warrior/ his yoke looked easy/ and his burden is light/ he looked me right in the eyes direct and concise/ to remind me/ to always do what's right... cause if the face inside can't see the light I know/ I have to walk alone/ and if I walk alone to the other side I know/ I might not make it home"... "Make me an angel/ that flies from Montgomery/ make me a poster of an old rodeo/ just give me one thing/ that I can hold on to/ to believe in this living is just a/ hard way to go"... "I guess I wasn't the best one to ask/ me myself/ with my face pressed/ up against love's glass/ to see the shiny toy I'd been hoping for/ the one I never can afford"... "and it's a long way/ down to the place where we started from"... "you should have seen that sunrise/ with your own eyes/ it brought me back to life"... "I want to touch the earth/ I want to break it in my hands/ I want to grow something wild and unruly... I want to be the only one/ for miles and miles/ except for maybe you/ and your simple smile"... "a wild imagination/ a college education"... "what God gave me is just fine"... "there's gotta be more to life/ than chasing down every temporary high/ to satisfy me"... "now all I want to run is a bubble bath"... "doesn't speak the language/ holds no currency"... "only God knows where the story goes from here/ but I know where the story begins/ it's up to us to choose whether we win or lose/ and I choose to win"... "I need You to guide me, Lord"...
