My name is Mandy Vinson and I am a small town girl songwriter. I have been writing songs since I was younger, but started getting serious with it about 4 years ago. Writing has always been a passion. I also have a blog page lifeinspiredmommy.com.
Verse 1:
Do you ever wonder what it's like
to be that bird flying in the sky
Well, I do, I do
Do you ever get so overwhelmed
It's like you're in the Rocky Horror Picture film
Well I do, I do
Pre-Chorus:
It's like I'm trapped, I'm out of whack
I can't stop the over thinking, mental beatings
Am I weird or am I cool
Are my friends fake or are they true
Chorus:
Just stop, take a deep breath in
Don't let the cruelness win
Just stop, let you breath flow out
Along with all your doubts
Verse 2:
Do you ever watch as horses graze
in their calm, quite, peaceful ways
well I do, I do
Do you ever tire of all the noise
You feel your happy is gone along with joy
Well I do, I do
Pre-Chorus:
It's like I'm sad or always mad
Can't stop to breathe, no time for me
Am I wrong or am I right
Myself, I shouldn't have to fight
Chorus:
Just stop, take a deep breath in
Don't let the cruelness win
Just stop, let your breath flow out
Along with all of you doubt
Coda:
Have you ever felt the peacefulness
When you push on strong and never quit
Verse :
I know I'm not perfect
I'm a sinner too
But I know I am worth it
Because I believe in you
Chorus:
Lord Show me the way
Show me the way
Verse 2:
In this world I'm not sure
What will become
But one thing I am sure of
Is his love for us
Chorus:
Lord Show me the way
Show me the way
Repeat Verse 1
Verse 1:
My whole existence is so tired
It feels like I have come unwired
I don't want to move
I don't want to breathe
I don't want to do
What's expected of me
I'm on fire
Because I'm tired
Chorus:
This whole world has gone so crazy
Could we show love one day just maybe
Take all the hate
Throw it away
No matter our race
We all bleed the same
Verse 2:
One side takes over our TV screens
While the other hordes our news feeds
Let's turn off the screens
Show up to scenes
Shake hands unite
Together we'll fight
Aren't you on fire
We should all be tired
Repeat Chorus 1x
Ending:
I'm on fire
Because I'm tired
Aren't you on fire
We should all be tired
This whole world has gone so crazy
Could we show love one day just maybe

Verse 1:
I watch her with her paper and pen
Jotting notes and doodling
She looks at me with her flamboyant eyes
Points at her book with a big ole smile
Says, hey mom, I'm just like you
I'm doing this, just like you do
Chorus:
There are times when I feel like giving up
I get let down and times get tough
When I feel I can't reach my calling
I'm reminded, there's someone watching
Verse 2:
I watch him as he tightens his strings
Strums down slow to find the perfect ring
I ask him what he's trying to play
He says not sure yet, but someday
I hope, to play just like you
Hes watching, everything I do
Chorus:
There are times when I feel like giving up
I get let down and times get tough
When I feel I can't reach my calling
I'm reminded, there's someone watching
Bridge:
Even when my mind starts to ramble
And all my strings become untangled
I'll work hard, fight and push through
Because my loves, live life as I do
Chorus:
There are times when I feel like giving up
I get let down and times get tough
When I feel I can't reach my calling
I'm reminded, there's someone watching
There's someone watching
My kids are watching
Verse 1:
When times get hard
And waters get deep
Mistakes are made
Prices are paid
It's time to hit my knees
Chorus Intro:
But what will he say
About my sinful ways
Will he ignore my call
Not answer at all
Instead he said
Chorus 1X:
Don't fear, don't worry
But bask in my glory
I'm going to see you through
Just trust in my word
And trek on forward
I've got big plans for you
Verse 2:
I am afraid
From the choices I make
My chance I will take
My life's no mistake
Through him I am brave
Chorus 1X
Ending:
I trust in the lord
With all my heart
I know that he
Is never far
He trusts in me
To play my part
That he has written
In the stars
Verse 1:
Sometimes I'm a wreck
A straight total mess
But I'll always hit my knees
To help me feel at ease
I may fall on my back
But I'll get back on track
To God be the glory
Chorus 1x:
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
He knows my whole story
So I'll never have to worry
To God be the glory
Verse 2:
I have good days and bad days
But that don't mean that I'm done
Because I know it gets better
He'll walk with me through bad weather
I count my many blessings
Even when it's distressing
To God be the Glory
Chorus 1x
Verse 3:
He sent me this hear song
So I'll sing along
To spread the truth
Of what he'll do for you
To God be the glory
Chorus 1X
Sometimes I drink way too much
I also fall out of touch
I get angry, I get mad
I cast stones at all in my path
But, I don't mean to
It's just what I do
Lord, I know you love me for who I am
But please forgive me for who I am
I sometimes gossip and call out names
Point the finger to show the blame
All the while I know I am wrong
3 more fingers are pointing strong
Call me out
For all of my doubt
Lord, I know you love me for who I am
But, please forgive me for who I am
We're all sinners as the bible says
So in shame I bow my head
Begging for forgiveness
Knowing I don't deserve this
Lord, I know you love me for who I am
But, please forgive me for who I am
Verse 1:
Hello, my long lost friend
It's good to see you again
It's good to see your face
It's been a while since I've been to this place
Chorus:
You went so far away
Please tell me where you've been
I was afraid there would come a day
I wouldn't see you again
Hello!
Verse 2:
Hello, it's good to see your smile
That's been missing for a while
Your eyes seem brighter now
I'm glad you made it back somehow
Chorus:
You went so far away
Please tell me where you've been
I was afraid there would come a day
I wouldn't see you again
Hello!
Verse 3:
With the mirror no longer fogged
My friend you've not been missing at all
You've been here all this time
But myself I had to find
Verse 1:
Do you ever wonder what it's like
to be that bird flying in the sky
Well, I do, I do
Do you ever get so overwhelmed
It's like you're in the Rocky Horror Picture film
Well I do, I do
Pre-Chorus:
It's like I'm trapped, I'm out of whack
I can't stop the over thinking, mental beatings
