Clouds of despair are floating around us everywhere.
They shadow our jay.
They cover our lives with a sense of hopelessness.
They are forever a look of the future.
We cry, we wonder if sometimes it is easier just to lie
And say we gave it our best try.
How long do you try?
How long do you suffer of misunderstanding?
When do you let the sobs leave you?
Though knowing that you did all you could
I want to protest to say it's a lie.
But I'm really not sure what I would do different
Because I'm not sure what I did wrong to begin with.

Up in the room,
Lying close to you
Hoping that this happiness lasts forever.
Feeling your heartbeat close to mine.
Wanting to be there forever.
When I hold you that close,
I feel as if you are as safe as a bird in a cage.
Please don't go,
For I will drown in my tears.
I feel as if nothing can ever harm you,
As long as I'm this close to you.
So, please,
Let me hold you forever.

My world is a magical place
A place of no mistakes
Where love is in abundance.
My world is for children
Where they are safe to run and play
There is no dark shadows to ruin their day.
My world is for lovers
The holding of hands
The complete sharing of hearts.
My world is a place where God sent his love
To all of his children from above
A loving hand he does bestow
To all of us below.
What is my world but a special place
Filled with empty mindless space
Too big to hide, too little to run
I believe he did it just for fun.
He made us little and the world so big
So he could brake us just like tiny twigs
A laugh he would have at our attempted escapes
Only to put us back in our place.
When one of us wins at this game of life
We call it lucky, a chance of the dice
I feel that there's luck in each breaking of day
An opening of heavens highways.

Shut in a room
All by myself
Wishing that I was somewhere else,
Hoping that you will rescue me,
From all the darkness and tears I see,
Stranded out in nowhere,
Nowhere to run,
Hoping that when I get back,
I will see the sun.
But until then,
I'm all by myself,
I just want to say
I love you and always will.

When I saw it the first time,
I was in love.
It cringed as if afraid,
But of what?
I don't understand,
What did I do?
I want to be closer,
To prove how I feel,
The only thing on my mind is it.
When you came into the light,
I felt blessed by Gad,
As if an angel on a cloud,
Floating lightly like a bubble in the sky.
Please stay, I don't know what I did,
Please show me the way,
Please.
Why?
Must you go?
I love you.

My name is anonymous,
I hide in the shadows of the night.
Pleading to be noticed,
Hungry for the light.
My life is a secret,
Wearing in disguise.
No one meets my sadness,
No one hears my cries.
I feel like the forsaken one,
Living all alone.
But, there must be others like me,
Afraid to show themselves,
Stashing them on shelves.
We are the chosen ones,
Running is life's race.
Wanting to be winners,
But settling for second place.
Trying to speak up,
Give up courage, we pray.
Our chance comes and goes,
Well, perhaps another day.

The sounds remain forever,
How come they bother me?
They shall leave never,
In the shadows, I can see,
It doesn't want me to enter,
Into the depths, smaller than a flea,
The pressure is like a lever,
Breaking my mind so I can see,
Concentrate on the fears,
Pushing it back,
Among the tears,
Of all the people who are gone,
And pull your strength off the rack,
Then rest yourself on the lawn.

Good-bye, good-bye
I must say good-bye
To save my heart,
So I don't cry.
Where am I to go,
I don't know
I'm lost inside,
With nowhere to hide
Lost in the shadows of fear
I find myself falling apart
Knowing I must be strong
I tell myself I can hold on.

Some houses try to hide the fact
That children shelter there
Ours boasts of it quite openly
The signs are everywhere
Smears are on the windows
Little smudges on the doors
I should apologize, I guess
Toys are strewn on the floor
Chorus:
Please excuse the house
It's not that big a mess
But my job ain't done
Or ever will, I guess
As long as children live
Inside these hallowed walls
Please excuse the house
I'm momma first of all
So I sat down with the children
And played and laughed and read
And if the doorbell doesn't shine
Their eyes will shine instead
For when at times I'm forced to chose
The one job or the other
I want to be a Housewife
But, first I'll be a mother
Chorus:
Please excuse the house
It's not that big a mess
But my job ain't done
Or ever will, I guess
As long as children live
Inside these hallowed walls
Please excuse the house
I'm momma first of all
Please excuse the house
I'm momma first of all
