In The Snow

Walking in the snow,
It’s a fun thing to do and yet it’s suffocation.
Walking in the snow,
It’s the best experience and yet it’s makes one shiver.

When the snow falls,
It’s so pretty one can only gasp in astonishment.
And yet, when it does,
The homeless finds shelter not enjoying it at all.

When the snow falls,
It’s like walking in the sky on the clouds high above.
And yet when it does,
We wonder if we could fall any moment.

Walking in the snow,
We feel like walking on it and not leave a trace, to be unnoticed.
But yet sometimes,
We want to leave footprints behind, to let others realize we were there.

Walking in the snow,
We want to be affected and have fun like the kids all around.
And yet most of the time,
We want to be unaffected and worry about the work we have.

When it snows,
We want to get up and look at the white streets.
But yet, when it does,
We want to sleep and cover ourselves with warmth.

In the snow,
I wonder if it would be better.
To smile or frown,
In the snow, maybe it would be better,

To love every minute of it before spring comes along.

When I Leave

When I leave,
I wonder what people would do.
Would they mourn over a lost?
Or just cry because I was a human who slipped away?

When I leave,
I always wondered what people would say.
Would they say how much they would miss me?
Or would they say words with no emotion?

When I leave,
I wonder what people would think,
Would they keep thinking of me?
Or would they forget me the minute it’s over?

When I leave,
I wonder how much time would be wasted.
Would they prepare a funeral thinking of how much I’m worth?
Or would they just go through the process with not much thought?

When I leave,
I would wonder what they would feel.
Would they cry ’till dawn?
Or would they leave the funeral eyes not sore?

When I leave,
I hope people will remember me.
When I leave,
I hope people will cry for me.

But the most important thing,
Is that when I leave.
I want people to move on,
And live life to the fullest before they leave.

Just Another Mountain

It’s just another mountain,
Just another trail.
It’s just another moment,
Of frail believing.

It’s just another time of fear,
It’s just another time of panic.
It’s just  another mountain,
Just another moment of blood and sweat.

Don’t be anxious or worried,
Don’t be sad or tired.
Everything will change,
It’s just a matter of time.

Don’t make up any excuse,
Don’t make up your mind to stop and leave.
It may be like trying to walk on snow,
Without leaving a trace.

But don’t let it get to your head,
You can remember that the goal is over that tiny hill.
Don’t punish yourself if you can’t do it in a little while,
It takes time and strength.

It’s just another mountain,
Just walk a little more.
Because once you make it,
You’ll never regret it.

It’s just another mountain.

Sighs of a Girl

The little girl sighed as her car drove past the window of the dress shop,
The dress she loved was just sitting there and here she was helpless.
She sighed as the car passed a store filled with yummy treats,
The colorful jellybeans sat in a jar near the window and she couldn’t even do anything about it.

She sighed again as the car drove past a school,
She glanced through the tinted windows of the car and saw school kids playing in the classrooms.
She sighed once again as she passed a park filled with little kids,
She wished she had a friend so they could jump and run together as the laughed in the snow.

Thinking of the snow she sighed,
It was way to cold to think of getting an ice-cream.
She sighed as they stopped at a traffic light,
Knowing people were staring at the car and wondering who it was.

She sighed as they started to move again,
People would wonder even more who the important person in the car was, getting police escort and all.
She sighed again, only this time because she had reached home,
As she walked through the doors of her house her servants greeted her, but all she ever wanted was a normal life.

She sighed knowing in a few minutes she would have to get cleaned up,
She would have to meet a VIP and be on her best behavior instead of being a normal little girl.
She sighed as she walked into her room and scoped it,
She sighed because she was no ordinary girl, she was a daughter of the king.

As she sighed,
She sat down and started to cry.
Then she wished with all her might,
She was just a normal little girl, in this big world.

When Did You Fall?

You’re all smiles and silly conversation
As if this sunny day came just for you
You twist your hair, you smile, and you turn your eyes away
C’mon, tell me what’s right with you
Now it dawns on me probably everybody’s talkin’
And there’s something here I’m supposed to realize
‘Cause your secret’s out, and the universe laughs at its joke on me
I just caught it in your eyes, it’s a beautiful surprise

When did you fall in love with me?
Was it out of the blue
‘Cause I swear I never knew it
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?

Make your way over here, sit down by this fool, and let’s rewind
C’mon, let’s go back and replay all our scenes
You can point out the hints, the clues, the twists and the smiles this time
All the ones that slipped by me
I bet my face is red, and you can hear my heart poundin’
Well I guess it don’t matter now that I realize
‘Cause baby I missed it then, but I can surely see you now
Right here before my eyes
You’re my beautiful surprise

When did you fall in love with me?
Was it out of the blue
‘Cause I swear I never knew it
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?

Was it at the coffee shop
Or that morning at the bus stop
When you almost slipped, and I caught your hand
Or the time we built the snowman
The day at the beach, sandy and warm
Or the night with the scary thunderstorm
I never saw the signs
Now we’ve got to make up for lost time
And I can tell now by the way that you’re looking at me
I’d better finish this song so my lips will be free

Have you been waiting long, when did you fall in love
I kept you waiting so long, when did you fall
Have you been waiting long
When did you fall in love with me
When did you fall in love?
