INTEGRITY

I’ll keep loose, keep steady

Stay on the right side of life

Be strong be ready

To defend myself and say why

When it matters, I’ll keep it simple

I won’t complicate what I know

I’ll be myself not a pretender

Then I won’t have to put on a show

My life’s just starting out

I’ll leave out the fear and doubt

Follow the future I dare to see

I’ll aim for the brightest star

Wait for my dreams to go far

Hold fast to my integrity

I’ll take my time, when I have a plan

Accept all the help I can get

When success comes I’ll be ready

Enjoy my time no regrets

I’ll ask advice from the people

Who don’t always say what I want to hear

They’ll be truthful. They’ll be honest

So, I’ll listen to them without fear

My life’s just starting out

I’ll leave out the fear and doubt

Follow the future I dare to see

I’ll aim for the brightest star

Wait for my dreams to go far

Hold fast to my integrity

I’ve a right to stay happy

Focus on the strength that’s inside

So I’ll smile, whenever I’m alone

Wear sense of purpose with pride

I won’t shut out the world outside

So life won’t always be about me

I’ll be prepared for the give and take

To aim for the future I see

My life’s just starting out

I’ll leave out the fear and doubt

Follow the future I dare to see

I’ll aim for the brightest star

Wait for my dreams to go far

Hold fast to my integrity

ANOTHER DAY IS OVER

Another day is over

The writing’s on the wall

It’s time to stop reflecting on

The dreams that made me stand so tall

Now I’m fully awake

And I’m standing on my feet

From now until tomorrow

The sun will be much colder

Than the one within my dreams

I love you so much that it hurts

I feel pain in my heart

I never knew that love would leave me

Standing alone in the dark

Now I’m feeling so empty

And there’s nothing left to say

So as you leave I’ll smile and wave

Then turn so you don’t see

My tear stained face

See our picture with me

Hold it in your head

And when the new day starts to dawn

On the painful tears that we’ve both shed

And I’ll begin all over

I will start to live again

Pretend a new beginning’s here

And dream a dream for which

There’ll be no end

I love you so much that it hurts

I feel pain in my heart

I never knew that love would leave me

Standing alone in the dark

Now I’m feeling so empty

And there’s nothing left to say

So as you leave I’ll smile and wave

Then turn so you don’t see

My tear stained face

So come a little closer

Please hold my hand once more

I’m scared to branch out on my own

It hurts to know you’ve closed the door

And I’ll take it upon myself

To recall what we once had

But when I look and you’re not there

I’ll hold my breath, fight back the tears

And try not to be sad
