I have been writing poems and lyrics since childhood. It's one of my favorite ways to process experiences in life. Singing, entertaining and songwriting is sewn into my soul. The art of songwriting has saved my life many times. Enjoy!
Verse 1
Oh when the darkness covers
The ocean
Will you believe
You’re chosen
Don’t you run away
Time has come
For change
Chorus
Wake up and seize the day
You’re so high
You fly above the rain
Wake up can you hear the sound
You’re so high
You never touch the ground
Verse 2
Oh when your heart is broken
And frozen
Will you believe you’re chosen
Unlock the chains
Time has come for change
Chorus
Wake up and seize the day
You’re so high
You fly above the rain
Wake up can you hear the sound
You’re so high
You never touch the ground
Bridge/Solo
Chorus
What will they think of me
If I don’t do what they say
What will they say about me
If I refuse to play their game
What if I don’t fit in
What if I choose to walk away
If I turn my back on them
Will I wish that I had stayed
Listen voices of doubt
Voices of greed
We put our trust in a pill
On a quest for inner peace
We spend what we don’t have
Buy things we don’t need
Just to impress people we don’t know
I won’t give up
I won’t give in
I’ll do whatever it takes
To find my home again
I won’t give up
I won’t give in
No matter how long it takes
To find my voice again
Remember who you are
Verse 1
I don’t care what you think of me
I don’t need a red carpet laid out for me
Attending all the latest things
I don’t care if you ever notice me
Chorus
I don’t want what you have
I don’t care what you have
I’m happy to be a nobody
Verse 2
I don’t need to make my teeth pearly white
I don’t need to stay out and party all night
I’m not on my way to be the next big thing
I love the simple things
Chorus
I don’t want what you have
I don’t want what you have
I’m happy to be a nobody
Bridge
Living life on my own terms
Living life in my jeans and t-shirt
Living life with no make up on
Living life in my humble home
I don’t want what you have
I don’t care what you have
I’m happy to be a nobody
I don’t want what you have
I don’t care what you have
I’m happy to be a nobody
I don’t want what you have
I don’t want what you have
I don’t want what you have
Verse 1
While they were smoking
She kicked it to the curb
While they were drinking
She locked her self away
And prayed and prayed
You’d make her stronger
Please don’t let her give in
She’s takin’ two steps back
Just to move forward again
She thinks about the time
When it was all a thrill
She could carry it all
And nothing would spill
Chorus
Whoa Jessie was a platter girl
Whoa we all wanted to be her
Verse 2
While they were laughing
She spent her time with you
While they were throwing down
Her heart was breaking in two
Sometimes you need to break
To let the light shine through
She heard you whispering
The only way out is through
Chorus
Whoa Jessie was a platter girl
Whoa we all wanted to be her
Whoa Jessie was a platter girl
Whoa she use to entertain the world
Bridge
Not where she wants to be
But at least she’s not where she was
Not who she wants to be
But at least she’s not who she was
Verse 1
Oh when the darkness covers
The ocean

Don’t you run away

Chorus

Wake up can you hear the sound
You’re so high
You never touch the ground

Chorus
Wake up and seize the day
