Wanna Be Rock Star

Admittedly, the stuff I write can tend to be a little dark... here is something a little lighter for the holidays... hope you enjoy...

Listen as you read along:



Wanna-be Rock Star


They always seem to have something to say to me
About how I’m lacking responsibility
My hairs too long, and I dress bad
And they say that my attitude makes them sad
I’ve tried everything to appease
But there’s always something else that’s wrong with me
A bum, a slob, a vagrant lot
But I’ve given them to date everything I’ve got


Still the choice I make
Is to ask to be forgiven
And when I feel that I might break
You give me the strength to keep right on livin’


It always seem to come around to you
You pick me up and brush me off no matter what it is I’ve gotten into
It’s always nice to know that someone loves you for who you are
And it’s always nice to know that someone loves a silly wanna-be rock star


They always seem to have some sort of plan for me
About how I can reclaim my dignity
I may be slow but I am telling you
There’s about a million other things I would rather do
I’ve tried everything to fit in
But they always end up in my face again
A loser, a child, not status quo
Cuz I wouldn’t take the leading part in their show


Still the choice I make
Is to ask to be forgiven
And when I feel that I might break
You give me the strength to keep right on livin’


It always seem to come around to you
You pick me up and brush me off no matter what it is I’ve gotten into
It’s always nice to know that someone loves you for who you are
And it’s always nice to know that someone loves a silly wanna-be rock star

Heartbreak for Hello

For my Luv and my Father


Heartbreak for Hello


She has a way of giving me a shove
Offering me a warmer place to go
And She gives me love
Even when I’m guilty of
Trading her heartbreak for hello

She won’t stop, she won’t concede
She’s seen a better part of me
She holds on and she holds out
Hoping soon I’ll figure it out

She didn’t claim it would be easy
She never said that we would coast
She would say
That there’d be days
When the wind was going to blow

She vowed to never leave me
A solemn promise to never go
Even when I'd turn away
And coldly trade
Her heartbreak for hello



He has a way of calling from above
Offering undeserved grace, I know
And He gives me love
Even when I’m guilty of
Trading Him heartbreak for hello

He won’t give up, He won’t concede
He’s made the better part of me
He holds on without a doubt
Aware He’s got it all worked out

He didn’t claim it would be easy
He never said that I could coast
He’d provide a way
Amidst the days
The storm winds start to blow

He promised He’d never leave me
And that He would never let me go
Even when I run away
and unfairly trade
Him heartbreak for hello



I have a way of hurting the ones I love
While I take a little too long to grow
Somehow they give me love
Even when I’m guilty of
Trading them heartbreak for hello
