| Falling All Over Again Everything seemed to be coming together All the pieces fitting right into place But now it's looking like bad weather And I'm curling back into my little space Things felt so good and seemed so right Now I can't tell where I am The future looked grand and bright The world around me seems so dim I don't know what is going on I can't tell where to run I wish I could disappear and be gone This hell is not at all fun I'm so confused by all of this All direction is blurred I have lost my place of bliss And I am so scared I don't know what lies ahead If it's good or bad or what I almost don't want to get out of bed My heart again feels cut I pray for guidance and direction To lead me out of this hell I want to end my life's friction And pick myself up from where I fell Where I go now I do not know I'm not sure of what to do I feel lost in a blinding snow And that I can't escape it too I cry out for help but no one comes I feel alone and so scared I feel so ridiculous and dumb For all the things that I dared I beg for help from anyone Just a smile or hug I feel like I'm completely done And my grave should be now dug |
| The Curves of Life Ain't it funny sometimes? How life can put you in such a bind How everything can be going great And then life changes your fate Or maybe just the reverse And you feel like you've been reimbursed It's funny when you think about it all Yet scary when you come to find you're gonna fall No one has a reason for the curves life throws us And they all seem to make us just want to cuss It's funny when you think you have all you need And then boom life throws in a hideous weed We so often look at the curves as something bad But in reality it can be something that won't make you sad It can make you realize your dreams again And show you all you have left to win It can let you see just what you truly possess And it can show you just how your life is a mess It can open your eyes to all you have to live for And it can open back up all life's doors Life's curves are just a pitch you must sit on While you wait on that fastball to smash a long gone The curves are there to get you ready They make you sure and steady And then when that perfect pitch does come It'll be a home run and you will have won You will have won in life's game Even if you don't see fortune and fame For life's success is measured by the one who lives it For if they've learned from the curves then they have won quite a bit Because learning from the curves will prepare you To hit that grand slam for everything you do So the next time you're thrown a curve And it makes your life swerve Get back up and wipe the dust off of yourself And smash that homer that is life's wealth |
| Who I am Over the past few months I forgot some things I forgot how to live and how to spread my wings I forgot what gave my life true joy I'm surprised I didn't forget that I was a boy I don't know when exactly I forgot It could've been between many things or what not Maybe between the tears of good byes Maybe during life's little highs Maybe through all the expectations Or maybe through all the relations It could've been when I was in a foreign land Or on the beaches of Hawaii lying in the sand Maybe it was during the drunken nights Or during those silly little fights It might have been from the shock of being a grown up And realizing I was no longer a young pup Perhaps it was during the disappointing times Ya know it's hard to find the right words to rhyme But no matter where or when it seemed to be I truly forgot how to be me Now I'm rediscovering who I am Its nerve racking and makes me think I'm damned But I'm finding my feet again I'm finding the way that I have been I'm finding what I stand for And I'm finding out so much more I've lost and gained many things in this process But I think I'm finally sorting out my mess The lights are slowly turning on for me And where I'm going I will soon be able to see It's full steam ahead with no looking back I'm trying to climb back on life's fast track I'm remembering all the people who made me who I am And how they cared when others didn't give a damn I'm finding meaning in my life once more And slowly but surely I'm opening new doors I hope my path becomes clear real soon Even if only lit by the light of the moon I'm finding out what it's like to have fun I'm finding out who is William Tyler Johnson |
| Face in the Mirror Do you want to change the world we live in Do you want to erase us all of sin Do you want to feed the hungry Does seeing all the problems make you angry Do you want the naked to be clothed And for all the violence do you loath Do you want to change everything here Or do you sit in silence and fear Do you want to make things better And do your tears of sorrow only make your face wetter Do you want to end all the wrong And bless this world with one beautiful song Do you wan to turn smiles from frowns And pick everyone up who is down Do you not know where to start Do you feel you are doing your part Do you think you can make a change One that is of great range If you really want to make your conscience clearer Start by changing the face you see in the mirror For if we all perfect each other Then the world will better for all our brothers |
