The Real Me by Natalie Grant

10 01 2009

Foolish heart looks like we’re here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don’t let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I’m empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I’m loosening my grasp
There’s no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I’m tired of the song and dance
Living a Charade, always on parade
What a mess I’ve made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I’m loosening my grasp
There’s no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
You’re turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I’m loosening my grasp
There’s no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

And you love me just as I am

Wonderful, Beautiful is what you see
When you look at me






At 15 you feel like there is nothing to figure out…

30 12 2008

I posted the song and lyrics to Taylor Swift’s song Fifteen. I like it not only because it was done by an inspirational artist but also of the lyrics. I am 15 and I guess that is another reason why I like it. It is being directed to me. It was made for girls of the age of 15.

I can tell you from experience, being 15 is… I don’t know how to explain it. You’ve been through it ( if you haven’t you definately will).

Her song is truth. It is complete truth. I don’t mind going through it, telling you all my favorite lines and lines that are very meaningful.

And when your 15, feeling like there’s nothing to figure out. Count to ten take it in this is life be for you know who your gonna be. That is an amazing and true line. There is nothing to figure out. That’s life. You have no idea who you are going to be in the future at 15. Who am I gonna be? I don’t know. I don’t even know how my life will change after 15.

cause when your 15 and someone tells you the love you you’re gonna believe them. when all you wanted was to be wanted wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now. At 15, I’m stupid. the moment you feel wanted you turn into the stupidest person. I hate getting to emotionally attached because the moment I get comfortable, I get hurt. But time can heal most anything.so i’ll let time come.

I love the last line of the last chorus. I didn’t know who I was suppose to be at 15. Being 15, it’s like…that’s it you know. There is nothing else to life for you but dating and getting good grades, making friends, losing friends, making enemies. The biggest thing about being a 15 year old young lady is the boy friend part and everyone is like “Oh we must have a boy friend”. Trust me I feel that way sometimes but Ms Swift put it very clearly. We don’t know who we will be. We don’t know who we are suppose to be at 15.

Yeah 15….Someone please give all the 15 year olds you know a wake up call.





If god was one of us

29 11 2008

just thought I put this up

joan osbourne-if god was one of us

If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets

And yeah yeah god is great yeah yeah god is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
He’s trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if god was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

Average girl by barlow girl

3 11 2008

“Average Girl”

So what I’m not your average girl
I don’t meet the standards of this world
Chasing after boys is not my thing
See I’m waiting for a wedding ring

No more dating
I’m just waiting
Like sleeping beauty
My prince will come for me
No more dating I’m just waiting
‘Cause God is writing my love story

Boys are bad that’s certainly not true
‘Cause God’s preparing one for you
If you get tired waiting till he comes
Gods arms are the perfect place to run

Sleep that’s the only thing
For me ’cause when I sleep Gods
Preparing one for me





Fall for you by Secondhand Serenade

10 08 2008

Why on earth did I get hooked on this song? Its so sad and brings back sad memories; memories that I never wanted to remember. I’ll share it anyway.

Fall For You lyrics

The best thing about tonight’s that we’re not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don’t think that I am trying
I know you’re wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I’d never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed but I have loved you from the start

Oh, But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It’s impossible
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I’m yours to keep
And hold on to your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you’re asleep

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find





Music makes the world go round.

15 06 2008

a guitarMusic. The international language. Everyone loves music and if you don’t love music, you just aren’t human. Music is one of the most beloved things on this earth and without music, life wouldn’t be fun any more.

 Music has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been in church choirs since I was 6 and joined my school’s choir when I was about 10 after my drama instructor left my school, leaving me and about 30 other drama girls,CCA-less. ( CCA means co curiculum activity).

I started playing the guitar when I was about 11, just after my late grandfather passed away. I took it up in sort of memory of him. He played to. I’ve always dedicated the song, ‘leader of the band’ to him.

My familia has played a big part in bringing me up, being continueously surrounded by music. Me and all my other cousins are very grateful. I’m still in my church youth choir and am a leader in the main youth ministry. Mel has a band and they intend to realease an album soon ( I am they’re biggest fan…even if only their lead singer knows it). K is in a choir iner church too and continues to sing with the rest of the family during gatherings.

Music was one of the genes that all of us got wethere it is playing an instrument or singing or having rythem or all of the above. We all did inherit the love of music. Mel just sent me her band’s lastest song last night.  Unfortunately, I do not have permission to promote it or give out the song until their CD comes out. This song is so great.

Making a CD is expensive. I might ask the band to let me play a song I wrote and record on the cd, if they will let. Knowing Mel,I have a fair chance.

Good luck with your musical dream.

 





Finally!

9 06 2008

Fergie is an inspirational artist. She started out being the only female in the band The Black Eye Peas. In 2006, she released her first solo album entitled the Dutchess. Fergie’s music ranges from the craziest of beat ( example clumsy) to the most sentimental of songs ( example: finally, big girls don’t cry). Fergie is a great female artist. This is the lyrics to her song finally.

Finally lyrics

MMMMMMMMMM

Ever since I was a baby girl I had a dream
Cinderella theme
Crazy as it seems
Always knew that deep inside that there would come a day
When I would have to way
Make so many mistakes
I could’nt comprehend
As I watched it unfold
This classic story told I left it in the cold
Walking through an open door that led me back to you
Each one unlocking more of the truth

I finally stopped tripping on my youth
I finally got lost inside of you
I finally know that I needed to grow
And finally my maze has been solved

[chorus]
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though it will have a different set
Something strange and new is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn’t seem so bad
Its the best that I’ve ever had
Give my love to him finally

MMMMMMMM

I remember the beggining you already knew
I acted like a fool
Just trying to be cool
Fronting like it didn’t matter
I just ran away
On another face
Was lost in my own space
Found what its like to hurt selfishly
Scared to give of me
Afraid to just believe
I was in a jealous, insecure, pathetic place
Stumbled through the nets that I have made

Finally got out of my own way
I’ve Finally started living for today
I finally know that I needed to grow
And finally know that

[chorus]
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though we will have a different set
Something strange and new is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn’t seem so bad
Its the best that I’ve ever had
Gave my love to him Finally

MMMMMMMM

Finally, Finally

Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though it will have a different set
Something beautiful is happening, happening
Finally
Now my life doesn’t seem so bad
Give my love to him finally

Ohhhhhhh, Finally, Finally, finally





Be the bestfriend you fall in love with in the end

1 06 2008

Girls, have you ever had a point in your life when you are friends with the guy of your dreams and he’s your bestfriend and one day he tells you about this girl he kissed. You feel like all your hopes and dreams have just been flushed down the drain. I had that feeling today… I tried to flirt then he told me about her and I just pretended I was happy and fine. Ha! I’m such a bad liar. Anyways here is a song you all might relate to.

If We Were A Movie lyricsUh Oh!

 

There you go again talking cinematic

Yeah you!

Your charming…
Got everybody star struck
I know how you always seem to go
For the obvious
instead of me
But get a ticket and you’ll see

if we were a movie
You’d be the right guy
And I’d be the best friend
That you’d fall in love with,
In the end we’d be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black,
Show the names,
Play the happy song

Yeah,yeah
When you call me
I can hear it in your voice
Oh sure!
Wanna see me and tell me all about her
La la!
I’ll be acting through my tears
Guess you’ll never know
That I should win
an oscar for this scene I’m in

If we were a movie
You’d be the right guy
And I’d be the best friend
That you’d fall in love with,
In the end we’d be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black,
Show the names,
Play the happy song,

Wish I could tell you there’s a twist
Some kind of hero in disguise
And we’re together,it’s for real
Now playin’
Wish I could tell you there’s a kiss
Like something more than in my mind
I see it could be amazing

If we were a movie
You’d be the right guy
And I’d be the best friend
That you’d fall in love with,
In the end we’d be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black,
Show the names,
Play the happy song

If we were a movie
You’d be the right guy
And I’d be the best friend
That you’d fall in love with
In the end we’d be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black,
Show the names,
Play the happy song

If we were a movie
You’d be the right guy
And I’d be the best friend
That you’d fall in love with,
In the end we’d be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black,
Show the names,
Play the happy song

 





I am by Hillary Duff

28 05 2008

I’m an angel, I’m a devil
I am sometimes in between
I’m as bad it can get
And good as it can be
Sometimes I’m a million colors
Sometimes I’m black and white
I am all extremes
Try figure me out you never can
There’s so many things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I’m miserable
Sometimes I’m pitiful
But that’s so typical of all the things I am

I’m someone filled with self-belief
And haunted by self-doubt
I’ve got all the answers
I’ve got nothing figured out
I like to be by myself
I hate to be alone
I’m up and I am down
But that’s part of the thrill
Part of the plan
Part of all of the things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I’m miserable
Sometimes I’m pitiful
But that’s so typical of all the things I am

I’m a million contradictions
Sometimes I make no sense
Sometimes I’m perfect
Sometimes I’m a mess
Sometimes I’m not sure who I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I’m miserable
Sometimes I’m pitiful
But that’s so typical of all the things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I’m miserable
Sometimes I’m pitiful
But that’s so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am
Sometimes I’m miserable
Sometimes I’m pitiful
But that’s so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am
