Stand Proud

America 

Courage In That Foreign Land

It takes courage to stand and fight
In the deep dark deserts night
Fearless expressions of men so brave
The enemy's bloodshed they now crave
A cause they feel is worth fighting for
Sadam Housan will stand no more
With piercing eyes a shadowed haze
Inside his cell he sit in a daze
Lost to America he would never believe
But now for his family he must grieve
He put his sons up at all cost
I wonder now if it was worth what he lost
He must know now America will stand proud and free
With the courage displayed from the men and women in our army
I'm proud of all of take a stand
For all those soldiers in that foreign land
He must have known he'd never win
This battle with America's men.
Stand proud now of who you are
And know that home's not very far
Just look deep within your heart
America is here just as it was from the start

What Do We Do

When We Let Time Slip Away 

Time Slips Away

Once we loose this time
Let it slip away
You know we can't regain
What's lost and gone astray
You know we will reget it
Wish for loves return
Hope to feel the passions
Within our bodies burn
Long to feel those feeling
Upon our lips again
Long to hold each other
In arms of love and sin
Each moment that slips by
Another battle lost
As our hearts now grow colder
Than the winters frost
Do we look back and wonder
Where the years have gone
Do we have to ask ourselves
What exactly went wrong
So as we sit here
And let time slip away
I guess we'll have to wonder
For another day

I Fly To My Freedom

On Independance Day 

Independence Day

A damaged mind
A damaged soul
A damaged heart
That does not know
Which way to turn
For it's not clear
If your love for me
is something real
I loved you then
I love you still
But with your words
My love you kill
I just can't take
The things you do
Inside a heart
No longer true
You took from me
All I had
My days are now
So very sad
There's nothing left
For you to take
I guess this time
One big mistake
Now I'll take
one thing from you
I free myself
On this
Independence Day

Inside The Mind

The Echo's Stir 

Echo's Stir

Inside my mind the echo's stir
my ears they hear your every word.
Not clear, not here, your words have gone
inside my soul the echo's roam.
Deter me now with damaging sighs
inside my heart lies crimson tides.
A soul now wrecked from words unkind
life's true love echo's blind.
Doubt and fear sweep my minds door
lying damaged right to the core.
As echo's stir your words a blur
life and love now unsure.
