No more to say
No more
Today
No more coming tomorrow
Or
Needless to say
Yesterday.
Cry if you wish
But say
Say what you need to
Til you have
No more
No more to say.

I’m holding on, holding tight
To all that I love
Now and throughout
The dark, dark dangerous night.
Let no one feel
Once more, ever again
The awful feelings I felt
Way back then.
Let them be good, be great
Let them give me safety
Solace.
Let me
Radiate
Kindness and love.
Let me take all of this with me
As I move through life
The coming year, the day
The dark, dark dangerous night.

The world turns, it goes
Then comes back around
No breath is taken
Except on its sacred ground.
The future is hidden
The past is the past
Nothing now will forever
Last.
Turning slowly, turning fast
The world is ours
Hold on
It’ll be a blast.

That girl has gone
Past away
Only one left is an old lady
Living in yesterday
Her smile says
I know who I am
I know where I came from
For what I stand
She doesn’t need to say
Anything else
For those that are near her
Love her
Know she loves them
That way
She understands that young girl
Didn’t die
She lives within her heart, her mind
Giving all as she did
When she walked the land.

You know I haven’t seen
You nearby me
Haven’t heard your voice
Say a single thing
Don’t know where
You’ve gone
Or
Where you could have been
For my mind remembers
The sweetest things
But
That’s all they are now
Is
Memories
Just memories
Could it be
I can’t find you
Can’t find you no matter
Where I look
Cause you too
Are nothing more
Than
A memory
A memory
My mind has
Put
Away for safe-keeping
To later embrace
And
Have a look?

Help me hear the voices say
Wondrous words
Spoke in love and kindness
Now and everyday.

Heal me
Help me be the one
Who I can revere
Smile, laugh at
From now to eternity
Let my emotions
Flow with cheer
Keep a smile upon my face
Even in times
That are so hard, so severe
I must not
Believe in trouble or hardship
See, be the light
That guides lost souls to their own
Lofty atmosphere.
– Be the one you want another to be –
