Baby It’s All Too Much
Verse 1
The sun goes down Baby
And we start to fight
Gonna be another long one
Words thrown like sharp knives
Cause wounds that never heal
And it feels like there’s no coming back
There’s no coming back this time
Verse 2
You always want your way
And I’m selfish too
Slamming on the brakes
To get back at you
Silence met with silence
There ain’t no talking this out
There’s no talking it out this time
Stanza
Is it fear that keeps us together
Or is it something more than that
Is forever for us
Or is it just a fairytale gone bad
Is this what we’re supposed to be
Or are we just two fools chasing love
Pretending it’s the real thing
Aw Baby it’s all too much
Verse 3
You retreat to your corner
And I back straight into mine
Staring into my coffee
I can’t look you in the eyes
And say what needs to be said
There are no more tears to cry
No more tears falling down this time
Bridge
Two hearts that don’t beat as one
Aren’t meant to be
Do you feel the same way Baby
Do you feel this way too
I know it’s hard to say
It’s hard to face the truth
Stanza
Is it fear that keeps us together
Or is it something more than that
Is forever for us
Or is it just a fairytale gone bad
Is this what we’re supposed to be
Or are we just two fools chasing love
Pretending it’s the real thing
Aw Baby it’s all too much
Baby it’s all too much this time
*Verse*
/Every little inspiration/
/Is like a rolling wave/
/Just a little inspiration/
/Can get you through the day/
*Chorus*
/Life is gonna knock you over/
/Fear is gonna hold you down/
/But deep inside us glows a fire/
/Where courage can be found/
*Second Chorus*
/Reach down, dig deep/
/Let nothing keep you from your dreams/
*Verse*
/Every troubled situation/
/Is gonna test your faith/
/All those troubled situations/
/They’re gonna build your strength/
*Chorus*
/Life is gonna knock you over/
/Fear is gonna hold you down/
/But deep inside us flows a river/
/Where answers can be found/
*Second Chorus*
/Reach down, dig deep/
/Let nothing keep you from your dreams/
/Reach down, dig deep/
/Believe in what you cannot see/
/Reach down, dig deep/
/The truth is gonna set you free/

(Verse 1)
Look at me
I feel sixteen
Butterflies and daydreams
The phone rings
I can hardly breathe
A lit match to gasoline
(Chorus)
My heart knows better
Than it did when I was young
Taking chances with new love
Oh roller coaster
You’re a risky ride that could end rough
I’ve crashed to the bottom
I’ve climbed to the top
I’ll take the chance and raise my hands up
And ride this crazy dizzy breathless love
(Verse 2)
Those dark times
Stolen years
Closed doors on silent tears
Life changed
And I found my place
Learning how to face my fears
(Chorus)
My heart knows better
Than it did when I was young
Letting go of painful stuff
Oh roller coaster
You’re a risky ride that could end rough
I’ve crashed to the bottom
I’ve climbed to the top
I’ll take the chance and raise my hands up
And ride this crazy dizzy breathless love
(Verse 3)
In my mind
A new scene
Colorful and evergreen
A gentle kiss
And I’m breaking free
Dancing in love’s reverie
(Chorus)
My heart knows better
Than it did when I was young
Moving on and rising up
Oh roller coaster
You’re a risky ride that could end rough
I’ve crashed to the bottom
I’ve climbed to the top
I’ll take the chance and raise my hands up
And ride this crazy dizzy breathless love
(Final Chorus)
My heart knows better
Than it did when I was young
Oh roller coaster
You’re a risky ride that could end rough
I’ve crashed to the bottom
I’ve climbed to the top
I’ll take the chance and raise my hands up
And ride this crazy dizzy breathless love
(Coda)
My heart knows better
Oh roller coaster
I’m so far gone
Caught up in you
Oh crazy dizzy breathless love
Look into Your Own Eyes
By Annemarie E. Bell
They say you’re not good enough
That you’ll never get it right
You’re barely hanging on
You cry yourself to sleep at night
But they don’t have a clue
They don’t know anything
You need to believe in yourself
Every Winter turns to Spring
You gotta look into your own eyes
And see what’s on the inside
Have faith in what you might find
Don’t let the world feed you lies
They say you’re so screwed up
That you won’t amount to much
You feel like you don’t belong
Why do people have to judge?
But they don’t have a clue
They don’t know anything
You need to trust in yourself
Every voice was made to sing
You gotta look into your own eyes
And see what’s on the inside
Have faith in what you might find
Don’t let the world steal your pride
They say you don’t matter
That you don’t have the right
You’re so tired of it all
They’re always looking for a fight
But they don’t have a clue
They don’t know anything
You need to love yourself
Who you are is all you bring
You gotta look into your own eyes
And see what’s on the inside
Have faith in what you might find
Don’t let the world cast you aside
The Water Just Knows
As I drove down an old rocky road in the woods
Thinking of all the ways life has cheated me
My truck chassis rattling as I tore around a bend
Thinking how my past is like a chain with an anchor on the end
My mind is the town movie theatre and I’m the matinee
It plays my big failures and all my mistakes
So go grab your popcorn, twizzlers and drinks
Settle down in your seats and watch all my ships sink
I pulled off the dusty road next to a babbling stream
Jumped down to the ground and took of my shoes
Sat on a rock and slipped my feet in the cool water
Wondering why I’m the king of falls and falters
And I watched the stream flow, flow, flow
All through the day flow, flow, flow
Never ever stops flow, flow, flow
The water just knows to go, go, go
Forward it flows, flows, flows, flows, flows
The water just knows
As the sun laid itself down on the dusky rose sky
I got back into my truck and started to cry
That stream it taught me a thing or two about forgiving
And that the past is for learning and the present is for living
I left it all on the bottom of that babbling stream
The chain and the anchor slipped away like a dream
You choose the past or the present
There’s no in-between
Just let the stream flow, flow, flow
All through the day flow, flow, flow
Never ever stops flow, flow, flow
The water just knows to go, go, go
Forward it flows, flows, flows, flows, flows
The water just knows
Vulneratus Non Victus
(I Am Wounded Not Conquered)
By Annemarie E. Bell
Verse 1
I’m down again
I feel so defeated
Where do we go from here
How do you recover from this
I learned long ago
That life can be so cruel
It doesn’t care
Who you are
Verse 2
Don’t be afraid
You can do this
You are your own source of strength
Said that little voice in my head
You are much stronger
Than you think you are
Take that first step
Breathe past the fear
Verse 3
You gotta believe
In other people
They’ll rush to your side
To hold your hand and cry with you
They’re like super heroes
Dressed in strangers clothes
All around the world
People pray for you
You gotta believe
Coda
The human soul is invincible
I am wounded not conquered
Vulneratus Non Victus
And from these ashes I will rise again
Tu Es Aimé
[Verse 1]
Do you ever feel like
The last golden Autumn leave
That clings to a tree branch
In a biting wind
[Verse 2]
Do you ever feel like
A lonely cry into the night
You think nobody hears you
And you feel so alone
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel like you do
A sun ray trapped in clouds
Sometimes I cry like you do
And scream why
Why why why why why
Why must tragedy
Rain down on good people
[Verse 3]
Is the world an oyster
Or a living hell
The answer’s a question
Is life a choice or a cell
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel like you do
A sun ray trapped in clouds
Sometimes I cry like you do
And scream why
Why why why why why
Why must tragedy
Rain down on good people
[Bridge]
Love’s the question
Love’s the answer
Love’s the reason we exist
[Coda]
Sometimes I feel like you do
A sun ray lost in clouds
Sometimes I cry like you do
And whisper why
Sometimes I feel like you do
Love will raise you
Tu es aimé
