First Breath 02:55
23 years old and she's taking her First Breath diagnosed with cancer that will surely end in death she's gonna do the things she never did quite do like jump out a plane, climb a cliff, and see the band U2 oh what a Beautiful World what a Beautiful Way To Start Your Life oh what a Beautiful Time what a Beautiful Way To Start Your Life 53 years old and he's taking his First Breath he's tired of the money and the so called success he always put money first and then his Family but now he's gonna care for them rather than the green 83 years old and she's taking her Last Breath Rejoicing now because she Lived until her death she lived a Selfless Life and Helped Others get by her body gave up but her Soul never died oh what a Beautiful Way to End your Life Go Start Your Life! 19 years old and i'm taking my First Breath

Spring Love 03:45
Blood is in my Heart again Breath is in my Lungs i wish i could show you she makes me brighter than the Sun well it's Spring again and i got a new Love well I got a new Love it's a Spring Love my Life was dead but she makes me Feel Alive just like Spring time her face is whiter than the brides bouquet and her hair is blacker than the devil's heart in the Springtime her lips are Sweeter than Sunshine she's got Soul and that's why I Love her so the Trees are Marching what was dead is now Alive the Birds are Singing i don't want to stay inside there's only one thing that's really ever on my Mind that thing is Love Spring Love And if luck is on our side Then by next Spring our Love will still be Alive

it's been a long time but i know that i haven't lost my Mind but girl i just can't hide all these feelings for you inside so i Wrote this Melody so you'd know that you were Meant for me please Listen to these Notes I have arranged for you girl you make me feel like i'm a passenger and your behind the wheel your driving so crazy i can't see the road and i don't know where you're taking me so just take me to your Heart because without you mine's falling apart i don't think you comprehend if your not with me my Life's a dead end i don't want you to be the girl that i let get away i don't want to say what if? in my old Days i want you to be the girl that came into my Life Gave me Happiness took away my strife

an Eye for an Eye Hostages for Hostages wrong repaid with wrong but tell me does that make any of it Right Peace equals war and they say that Compromise is cowardice the strong well they're hardly ever Brave and the Brave never Strong History Repeats Itself and when it's over it never ends an Eye for an Eye a Tooth for a Tooth

you're doing what you're told every Kid should do you own a collegiate sweater and live in a dorm room too and though it's good for many it's just not for you but you've let others convince you that's not True he passed the bar and wore all the right Rings but Truth be told he's just living out his daddy's dreams he put down the Guitar when he was 18 and now the figure in the mirror makes him scream you're Hypnotized got glazed over Eyes believing the lies you're Infiltrated, Indoctrinated, Enculterated you're a zombie i'm a zombie we simply let others suck out our Souls have we even really given Life a shot or are we walking around empty as our bodies rot the Clock is ticking and the Alarm has sounded but we don't stand up and Fight we just stay grounded i urge you to put down the Book and Consider This not everyone is Meant To Live in their office a floating shadow in your bedroom water under the bridge becoming a tomb We Sell Our Souls At The Cost Of money but Our Land still isn't flowing with Milk and Honey if your not doing what you love Go Fire Yourself! Don't be another Unread Book Upon the Shelf

Dear Kiana 03:38
Dear Kiana killed yesterday i Wish that i could go back and Say Please Don't drive your car tonight Because i Want You to Survive and i'd like to Say Goodbye to You for the Last Time You were born into a tragic world You meant no harm You were just a Wide Eyed girl they stole Your Innocence to gain control but You Never let them steal Your Soul i'm glad Your Up Above now You know Real Love how is Heaven is it like we thought? is it the way that the Preachers always taught? do You Dance with Angels and ride on clouds? is all Your pain and sorrow gone now? i'm sad You're gone tonight but i'll see You when i Arrive i Wrote this Song for You tonight on this Thanksgiving all i could do was Write so this one goes out to You they say the Good die young and now i know it's True i Love You and this Thanksgiving i Thank God for You

we're all lost looking for Freedom in prison looking for Peace during battle looking for Rights in all of our wrongs hoping that i could Change the World with a Song it's all Wishful Thinking Hoping it wasn't a Goodbye and maybe she just can't close her Eyes because i won't get out of her Mind and she will toss and turn all night Praying he Won't beat her tonight Saying the world will Stop the fight maybe our Lives won't get dismembered We Want to Live and Die Remembered

Victory 07:01
the enemy has us captured beaten up and bruised they've attained their goal the scars go past the tissue past my heart into my soul now i can't remember the last time i saw Freedom the last time i saw Grace now i can't remember my sweetheart's kiss my sweetheart's face so please take me Home i don't care if they bury me just take me home tonight send someone to save us send someone to help send someone to fight i hear the thundering footsteps i hear bullets fly by the enemy is retreating i can see my Ally i run away from the chaos i run away from the screams i'll run 'til Life Turns Over get back Home and see out these Dreams i'm coming Home my Family's all at the table i knock to their surprise my mother's afraid to answer because she needs no more tears to cry i'm Home and Safe somehow i've never felt so Free when you're in the valley of the shadow you can still achieve Victory when your stuck in the trenches of Life and you're holding your brother as he dies and you're holding back tears from your red stained eyes you wonder if it's ever really worth the fight the Red Letters are all that you can think about and you Pray that the Speaker would come and Save you now you wish you could escape and make it back Home you wish that you could just feel less alone but the Allies are storming the beach and there's really nothing more that i can teach except for that it's all been done and said before because we're always at a war we're all alone in this together i'll see you at the other side of Forever

about

'til Life Turns Over is the perpetual state of craving & striving that inflicts the human Soul. it is not to be confused with lackadaisical waiting. it involves Actively Seeking out a better Life. i'm not talking about empowerment or selfishly fighting for so called freedoms and liberties that in the long run leave us broken, hungry, and enslaved. i'm talking about Immediately running for the other side of Life, abandoning what has been holding you back and firmly grabbing on to new Hope. it would be impossible to tailor this to everyone specifically, but in my short time here I can offer you one piece of advice:

Go
Start
Your
Life!
