If I Had A New LIfe

(lyric by rendlub07)

If I had a new life I'd be so much different
I'd roll with the punches and keep my head held high
If I could start over I'd do so much better
I'd make each day better than the ones gone by
I'd be a non-smoker and a nicer guy
I'd have a bigger heart and a stable mind
But it's all so much more than I can be right now

If I had a new life I would be more patient
I could tell what's trivial and what's worth waiting for
If I could turn back time I'd control my anger
I'd dish out less and learn to take much more
I'd work out daily and keep my house clean
I'd be non-divorced and have a college degree
But it's all so much more than I can be right now

CHORUS
So can you wait for another man to rise
From everything that makes you cry
Or if this really is who I am
Is it worth the tears?
Can you reach into my soul and find
The things that make me worth your time?
Cuz I would be the one you fell in love with
If I had a new life

If I had a new life I would be religious
I'd be stronger than the things that broke my faith
If I could push rewind I would let things go
I'd never dwell on things that I can't change
I'd count the blessings that I'd have
I'd smile at you even if I was sad
But it's all so much more than I can be right now

CHORUS

I'm locked in the prison of who I am
With all these traits I don't understand
Say what you want cuz I'm just not sure
I can look in that mirror and it's all a blur
And every damn step I try to take
Just puts me further out of place
And I'm so far gone I might never make it back

And if I had a new life I'd still be in love with you...

CHORUS

Summer Breeze

(lyric by rednblue07)

I don't need a clock, time flies on its own
Waiting for a summer breeze to take me
All around me moves and I stand alone
Waiting for a summer breeze to take me away

Take me away

So expecting like dandelion seeds in the sunrise
Waiting for a summer breeze to take me
Keeping faith only to wilt and wither in the daylight
Waiting for a summer breeze to take me away

Take me away

Downpour

(lyric by rednblue07)

She don't wanna let it on
That she's having fun
And maybe just a little scared
And I'm driving on and on
Into the storm
She keeps staring straight ahead

And she says she loves the rain
But she never
Danced in a downpour
She says it's not a game
But she's holding back a smile

Hold on
In the end
It's only rain and wind
In the end
The sun will shine

I'm chasing down her thoughts
But they're just raindrops
Quick to wash away
And I can't catch a single one
Cuz she's a storm
Of bottled up emotion

And she don't wanna let it on
That she's having fun
And maybe just a little scared
And she says she loves the rain
And today
She's gonna dance in a downpour

A Flint Hills Story

(lyric by rednblue07)

Prairie wind, will you tell me a story?
Paint me a picture with words no one knows
They don't teach this language so please speak slowly
And blow, prairie wind, gently blow

Prairie wind, have you been here a long time?
What was this place like, I want to know
Before lonesome highways and overhead powerlines
Blow, prairie wind, gently blow

CHORUS
I see cattle grazing on hilltops, so tell me
Where is the roaming buffalo?
I see fences stretching for miles, so tell me
Where did the wild things go?
It's still so beautiful here, what was it like long ago?
Tell me a Flint Hills story, gently blow

Praire wind, has time treated here well?
Is the water in the gully still pure as it flows?
Do the birds sing as sweetly, does the grass grow as tall?
Do you know? Prairie wind, gently blow

Prairie wind, do people stop and listen?
Or do they just look as they all come and go?
I want to hear everything that they're all missing
So blow, prairie wind, gently blow

CHORUS

Prairie wind, do the clouds taste the same?
Can Mother Earth purify industrial smoke?
Can she help us to clean up the mess that we've made
If so, prairie wind, gently blow

Prairie wind, can you tell me the future?
How long til this moment is a story of old?
Nothing is forever, so help me remember
And blow, prairie wind, gently blow

CHORUS
