A Gift For Melody Anne

It's been a while.

A lot has happened.

I feel like I did when I was a kid.  When I hadn't prayed in a long time, I would feel bad for ignoring God, but too ashamed to talk to him about it...so I would stay away.

I'll start back slowly.

I listened to this song on repeat for about two hours:

I want to get back



I want to get square


I want to get back all the hopes and the dreams that I had


That the good lord above us can't spare


Like that actor said I don't want to lose heart


I don't want to get beat beat down by the big big world


Or quit before I even start






Lord I just want my life to be true


And I just want my heart to be true


And I just want my words to be true


I want my soul to feel brand new






I want to hold hands


And I want make love


I want to keep running all day and all night


Even when my mind tells my body that's enough






And I want to stand up and I want to stand tall


If I ever have a son, if I ever have a daughter


I don't want to tell them that I didn't give my all






And I just want my life to be true


I just want my heart to be true


I just want my words to be true


I want my soul to feel brand brand new


Like a fresh coat of paint


We can make it anything but blue


Anything but blue






Now when your dreams start saying I can't come true


You'd be better off without me


Don't let em go, don't let em go






I don't want to go broke, not from one bad deal


I don't want to be up all night crying in my hands


For a girl that isn't even real






Lord I just want my life to be true


And I just want my heart to be true


And I just want my words to be true


And I just want my song to be true


And I just want my heart to be true


And I just want my life to be true


And I just want my words to be true


And I just want my heart to be true


And I just want my life to be true


And I just want my song to be true


And I just want my life to be true


I want my soul to feel brand new


I want my soul to feel brand new
