Today (Wendy Jans)
I'm tired of my reflection, I'm tired of the 6 o'clock news
I'm tired of wasting my time doing things I don't wanna do
I'm tired of running circles for things I can't control
I'm tired of being afraid, afraid of getting old
I'm tired of justifying the way that I was made
I'm tired of procrastinating every change
I wanna live with intention
I wanna open my eyes
'cause the beauty in the world deserves my attention
I'm tired of being tired
So today I'm gonna wake up - cool water 'cross my face
Today I'll walk in bare feet, even if it rains
Today's a brand new melody the birds are singing proud
Today I'll sing it with them, I'll sing out loud
Today I'm gonna thank you & hear more than I say
Happy just to be alive one more day
I wanna live with intention
I wanna open my eyes
'cause the beauty in the world deserves my attention
I'm tired of being tired when I've got today

Fool (Wendy Jans / Tim Jackson)
I been waiting for the perfect day - the pieces to fall into place
I have a tendency to talk too much just to fill an empty space
I'm not above being a fool in love
Friday nights I just wanna to stay home, but I don't wanna be alone
I know somewhere there's gotta be someone who's tired of being on their own
I'm not above being a fool in love
-
I've made mistakes I've learned some lessons
For heaven's sakes, I'm only human
I don't need another heartbreak
But I'm not above being a fool in love
Call me crazy but I'm not giving up - all it takes is time
I'm not above being a fool in love

The Only Thing I Know (Wendy Jans / Joel Shewmake)
Baby I was yours - now I'm just your fool
When did forever become yesterday's news
You were my best friend - now you're just a man I knew
-
The only thing I know is true
is we both loved you
The way you kissed me made me weak
Like a little child I was so naive
-
The only thing I know is true
We both loved you
You'll never know how good it feels
to love somebody the way you should
You never know if it's real
* * * back to top * * *
I Wanna Be (Wendy Jans / Tim Jackson / Allen Hinds)
I wanna be
A sleep that comforts, A blanket around you, the night that surrounds you
I wanna be
The stillness of morning, the warmth of the sun thru a window beside you (when you sing)
-
oooh...
I wanna be that song
The sound of your laughter, the call from an old friend - one you'll always remember
I wanna be
The smile on your face when the radio plays that familiar melody
-
oooh...
I wanna be that song
Constantly falling in love
Infectious melody, can't get you out of my head (it's like)
-
oooh...
I wanna be that song
The peace that you find at the end of the day in the arms you come home to
I wanna be
The dream that you dreamed of and all of the things in the song you were singing (like)
* * * back to top * * *
Someone Else's life (Wendy Jans)
I wanted to be a child prodigy
but it's too late now and I don't ask why
'cause that was someone else's life
Somedays I watch them drive by
in their fancy cars with their shiny things, smiling perfect smiles
and I hunger for a piece of that pie
But that's someone else's life
-
Ba dadada, what's yours was never mine
Ba dadada, all we have is precious time
Ba dada don't let it all go by
Living someone else's life
Couldn't stop him from saying goodbye
'cuz that was someone else's life
(bridge)
Life is finding your way
No two paths are the same
There's a reason we are here today

Invincible (Wendy Jans / Tim Jackson)
It's just lonely, feeling like I'm the only one
when you don't call me, or notice that I'm waiting by the phone
You're aloof
Shatterproof
Nothing hurts you, you're so strong
Wish that I was as unbreakable as you
Wish that I could look into your eyes and know the truth
that you're hiding
that I'm seeking
You can only hide so long
-
Someday you're not gonna be untouchable
Someday the storm's gonna come
Someday you won't be unhurtable
You'll realize that you are not invincible
how it feels when your heart's in someone else's hands
I hope she's careful
I hope she's gentle
so you don't hurt the way I do
You were the one who taught me how it feels to break
That I'm just human, bound to make my own mistakes
I'd do it all again
Even all the pain
To feel the way I felt with you
* * * back to top * * *
Love (Wendy Jans)
You are forgiveness, the sweet taste of the truth
And I found joy the day that I found you
You are the mystic, I'll never understand
My future's resting safely in your hands
-
You are the feeling of peace
You are the air that I breathe
You are desire, you are the need
I searched for you, love, and I found me
like a thumbprint on a newborn baby
You are a wind's song, sifting thru the pine trees
The beauty in the world I finally see
(bridge)
you are
you are
you are
I am you and you are me
* * * back to top * * *
Like it's True (Wendy Jans)
You're gonna have days when the coffee's weak and the winter wind's strong
Nobody calls - you'll start feeling alone and you've been all along
And everybody's seems so much further ahead like you thought that you'd be
By now, you're feeling
Some doubt and you can
Sit and pout, or you can choose to
-
Live like you are the reason
the sun bothers to shine
Live like tomorrow's just waiting on you
to arrive (you got to)
Live for the plan that God's
made just for you
You can't just believe,
you gotta live like it's true
We're all gonna need someone else to believe when we're losing faith
It's easier said, I know, than done, but you might be surprised
If you smile 'tho you don't want to
your heart might follow suit
and you might find your can...
* * * back to top * * *
Don't Fall (Wendy Jans / Tim Jackson / Allen Hinds)
It's a little unusual
We got this thing but we don't call it love
We say, it's okay, it's enough
There's just something in the way you smile
There's an innocence of a child
But sometimes, your eyes give you away
Even tho we're just friends
I hope I'm the one next to you in the end
-
And I hope
And I pray
That you don't ever go away
I want
To be
What you need
But please don't fall in love without me
I try to hide it but I guess it shows
Everybody says, I'm not myself without you
I wish that you could see yourself
When you're looking for someone else
You're so lonely, so lost, so find me
Even tho we're just friends
I hope I'm the one next to you in the end

Sing Along (Wendy Jans)
I lost too much time, going so fast, I missed all the signs
Get up, go to bed, always two steps ahead of myself
All the while, I failed to notice the crooked in your smile
The softly spoken, barely broken morning light
I missed the music for the song
I never stopped to sing along
-
La la la la la....
On and on
Come on and sing along
The sky's open wide, the sun's smiling down on us
It'd be such a shame to let it slip by trapped in this cage
I'd rather be singing like nobody's listening but you
We don't have to write the song
We just have to sing along
(bridge)
Sing along with me
Catch the melody
* * * back to top * * *
Outside the Lines (Wendy Jans / Tim Jackson)
Why should I color inside the lines
Why do we live within these confines
-
I wanna scribble across the sky - leave my mark way up high
I wanna taste the rain as it's coming down
-
I'll paint in shades I've only seen in the secret of my dreams
Stop and touch the breeze
skip across the sea
I'll leave an endless echo of a song
(so) I'll be around even when I'm gone
-
Casting shadows, catching light, finding faith in the quiet of night
