Stand Down, My Soldier

Stand down, my soldier.

No need to fight today.

I promise you, you're safe.

Everything will be okay.

Stand down, my soldier.

Armor weighs on your chest.

I promise you, you're safe.

Put your shields to rest.

Stand down, my soldier.

I'm not here to hurt you.

I promise you, you're safe.

Look, I have scars too.

Stand down, my soldier.

Let your walls come down.

I promise you, you're safe.

In loneliness, you'll drown.

Remember the days when

you didn't feel or see

the hurt that life brings.

Those days, you were free.

I know you must protect

your country, your home.

But a country with no one,

is a country alone.

So,

Stand down, my soldier.

Let me in, let me in.

I promise, you're safe.

Together, we can win.

Stand down, my soldier.

No need to fight today.

Stand guard another time.

Everything will be okay.

To You (No Matter How Much You Fall)

Sometimes, you need to

get out of your own way.

Then maybe you could

see the sun is out today.

The best advice I got

was: "It is what it is."

Life will make more

sense if you realize this.

Today, they could light

up your world and more,

but tomorrow's rain could

have something else in store.

Whatever you do, please,

never stop your dreams.

For those dreams could save

us. As crazy as it seems.

And they might tell you you're

left, when you know you're right.

But, stay strong in yourself

and never give up the fight.

This crazy world needs you.

More than you could ever know.

So, whenever the wind sways you,

don't you ever, ever let go.

And if they say you can't,

just believe that you can.

You're worth is not determined

by the words of another man.

When the days get dark

and you can't see the light,

embrace it with hope and

fight the good fight.

For darkness allows for

the light to be seen.

And suddenly you see

that light's more serene.

So go on and persist.

You could save us all.

Let your dreams walk

no matter how much you fall.

We all need to fall,

before we walk tall.

Lunatic

Do you ever wonder why the

moon stands guard at night?

It's because it would do

anything to feel the sun's light.

Now I feel like the moon;

you've made me your lunatic.

So many stars stand by me;

in lieu of them it's you I pick.

They shine around me but

still leave me feeling so dim.

Your rays light up my world

and shade my body on a whim.

I made my body turn pale

when I gave you my heart.

But now our souls are united

even when space keeps us apart.

So, please, shine on my sun,

I'm telling you that I need you.

Your light keeps me strong

so in the night I can see it thru.

As I search for you among the stars,

just know together the sky is ours
