Lyrics to Live By

One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape, and I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall
Into the sea, and they'll know

That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away

Lyrics to Live By

But the good news is
There's angels everywhere out on the street
Holding out a hand to pull you back up on your feet
The ones that you been dragging for so long
You're on your knees
You might as well be praying
Guess what I'm saying

If you're going through Hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

"If You're Going Through Hell"

Didn't make him enough popcorn chicken. I should really know better by now.

Lyrics To Live By

Woke up late today and I still feel the sting of the pain
But I brushed my teeth anyway
I got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face
I got a little bit stronger

I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger

"Stronger"

I'm not always nice to him.

How I Failed Five Today

Haven't bought him those basketball sneakers I promised and the season is almost over and he'd really like to not be playing in a pair of sneakers that have a hole, an actual hole, in the side!

Lyrics to Live By

I've been beaten down,
I've been kicked around.
But she takes it all for me.
And I lost my faith, in my darkest days.
She makes me want to believe.

They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She is love,
And she is all I need.
She's all I need.

Wouldn't buy him Burger King. I mean, how bad is it anyway?

Lyrics to Live By

I'll follow you into the park
Through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I never loved one like you

Moats and boats and waterfalls
Alleyways and pay phone calls
I've been everywhere with you

That's true, laugh until we think we'll die
Barefoot on a summer night
Never could be sweeter than with you

And in the streets you run a-free
Like it's only you and me
Geez, you're something to see

Ah, home, let me go home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Ah, home, let me go home
Home is wherever I'm with you

"Home"

Lyrics to Live By

I got no money in my pockets
I got a hole in my jeans
I had a job and I lost it
But it won't get to me

'Cause I'm ridin' with my baby
And it's a brand new day
We're on the wheels of an angel
Flyin' away

Didn't! He forgot his folder on the kitchen table and tried to blame me. "Just kidding!" he said, with a laugh. Perhaps Five is growing up?

Lyrics to Live By

So, bless my heart
Bless my mind
I got so much to do, I ain't got much time
So, must be someone up above
sayin' come on girl!
You got to get back up!

You got to hold on...

"HOLD ON"

Let him stay home from school because his stomach hurt but wouldn't let him eat popcorn while he watched a movie.

Took my computer with me to Arizona.

Lyrics to Live By

When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
I know there's no need for me to panic
'Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me

When the skies are gray and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling
I will find him, I'll find him next to me

"Next To Me"

Wouldn't check the messages again to make sure school wasn't cancelled for a snow day.

Lyrics to Live By

Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we're miles away
So we'll come
We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
Carry on, carry on

"Carry On"

fun.

Threw out his current event article before he handed it in, because I thought he presented it two weeks ago. But I saved the day by printing a new one from the online newspaper! Only half a fail.

Lyrics to Live By

I've been trying to do it right
I've been living a lonely life
I've been sleeping here instead
I've been sleeping in my bed
I've been sleeping in my bed

So show me family
All the blood that I will bleed
I don't know where I belong
I don't know where I went wrong
But I can write a song

I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart

"Ho Hey"
