  • The life we knew we could never live

    The life we knew we could never live
    Is somewhere out there in the wait
    Asking for another chance
    It’s time to go, walk through the gate

    There are hobbies waiting to be picked
    Or asses asking to be kicked
    A million jaws just to be dropped
    And bullets out there to be stopped

    The life we knew we could never live
    Is somewhere out there in the wait
    Asking for another chance
    It’s time to go, walk through the gate

    Inaction is just obscene
    Hoping fate would intervene
    Watching chances go pass by
    Then wishing if we could only fly

    The life we knew we could never live
    Is somewhere out there in the wait
    Asking for another chance
    It’s time to go, walk through the gate

    Winners win and losers lose
    But winners fight and winners bruise
    Without greying hair and broken bones
    One could never win the game of thrones

    The life we knew we could never live
    Is somewhere out there in the wait
    Asking for another chance
    It’s time to go, walk through the gate

    It’s time to go, walk through the gate.

  • One for the holidays

    It’s that time of year again
    To shop and cook seems such a pain
    Yet this is simply not what it’s all about

    There are also laughs and cheers
    Bottled ales and sweet, cold beers
    Little ones who love to scream and shout

    A nice little getaway
    Children gathered round to play
    Night time skating on a frozen lake

    Prayers echo in the night
    And families reunite
    Tables spread with food and Christmas cake

    A quiet time to reminisce
    To share a song or just a kiss
    On a silent night before the morn

    When the world seems to run around
    And the snow touches solid ground
    A fire keeps the home safe and warm

    A time to remember everyone who cares
    And even those in deep despair
    The time for giving is upon us all

    There’s happiness in the air
    As humanity fills the chairs
    Happy holidays to one and all!

  • Smile, it’s worth it!

    Smile, it’s worth it!


    We’ve all had bad days. Days when we just wanted to stay in bed and never get out. Or when pulling your hair out seemed less painful than what you were going through.

    A song to sing on one of those days…

    (verse one)
    You’ve been having a bad day
    Nothing seems to be going your way
    Four cups of coffee, yet your feet feel like lead
    You think you woke up from the wrong side of bed?

    You feel like you want to run and hide
    Or quiet down and go sit outside
    But there’s a solution I’d recommend
    All you need to do, is smile my friend!


    (chorus)
    All you need to do is smile
    To make your life worthwhile
    You won’t let go of your pain
    By crying in the rain

    The days may feel so very long
    Or everything just seems so wrong
    But it’s not too late
    To start feeling great…

    Just smile… It’s worth it!


    (verse two)
    Your laughter’s making an awesome sound
    And soon things seem to be turning around
    Look there! Your troubles running out the gate
    Feels like your head just lost some weight!

    When it feels like you’re attached to a drain
    Just smile, my friend, to ease the pain
    Don’t forget, it’s magic! That beautiful smile
    It can never go out of style


    (repeat chorus)


    So all you need to do is smile
    To make your life worthwhile

    It’s not too late
    To start feeling great…

    Just smile… It’s worth it!
