Judge this book by its cover instead of reading pages in between We all have our own story as our lives been written differently Scribbling on a blank slate the future that I want to see Pouring out my heart to the world creating a masterpiece I may be a rough draft of who I wanna be But I’m gonna get there; Yeah; I’m gonna get there you just wait and see Let my life finish this chapter as old stories turn yellow with age With each new line written only getting better than yesterday Might be a rough draft think what you want of me I’m gonna rewrite my life; Rewrite my life into a beautiful story Felt those harsh words from the critics who cut me down with their critique No, my life ain’t colored inside boundaries that’s what makes me unique I'm more than what meets the eye as my soul full of poetry Close the book on me now don’t reopen when others wanna read I may be a rough draft of who I wanna be But I’m gonna get there; Yeah; I’m gonna get there you just wait and see Let my life finish this chapter as old stories turn yellow with age With each new line written only getting better than yesterday Might be a rough draft think what you want of me I’m gonna rewrite my life; Rewrite my life into a beautiful story I might be a rough draft I might be a rough draft I might be a rough draft It's just the beginning to a beautiful story

V1 Wake up to the calling of the city The song of the traffic from the streets. Well, the life I’ve known is a distant memory What the future holds is a mystery to me V2 The moments of happiness are fleeting. Hold on to the friends that you should meet. Through the streets I run, I’m part of the harmony Opening my arms to whatever waits for me. CH Well, the city sings me a lullaby, Talks to me and soothes me, Takes control and moves me. Dance to the rhythm of my life. Feel the music through me, Learn to love the new me. Ah, holding on as the music takes me up above, beyond All the sadness and sorrow that have weighed me down, That have weighed me down. V3 Wake up to the calling of the city The song of the traffic from the streets. Well, the life I’ve known is a distant memory What the future holds is a mystery to me. CH Well, the city sings me a lullaby, Talks to me and soothes me, Takes control and moves me. Dance to the rhythm of my life. Feel the music through me, Learn to love the new me. Ah, holding on as the music takes me up above, beyond All the sadness and sorrow that have weighed me down, That have weighed me down.

Everything I Ever Wanted Published by timothymichaelmusic 18 MAY 2024 v1 Woke up in an empty house That used to be a home Divorce papers on the nightstand. The kids were off and grown. Suffocating in my skin And drowned by my emotions. No longer living my best life Just going through the motions. Chorus I pulled the pin and walked away. I lived to fight another day. I jumped ship and took a dive. Came out better on the other side. Never doubting what could be I pushed ahead undaunted. Gave up everything I’ve ever known… …For everything I ever wanted. For everything I’ve ever wanted V2. Spent 25 years in a dead-end job Life was so mundane. Same old same old, every day Nearly drove myself insane. Wished for more in my life Guess He hears me when I pray There’s a voice inside that’s calling me To take this leap of faith Chorus I pulled the pin and walked away. I lived to fight another day. I jumped ship and took a dive. Came out better on the other side. Never doubting what could be I pushed ahead undaunted. Gave up everything I’ve ever known… …For everything I ever wanted. For everything I ever wanted Bridge Took another chance at love Could’ve proposed on that first date. When opened myself up to “yes” God showed me my soul mate. Chorus I pulled the pin and walked away. I lived to fight another day. I jumped ship and took dive. Came out better on the other side. Never doubting what could be I pushed ahead undaunted. Gave up everything I’ve ever known… …For everything I ever wanted. Never doubting what could be I pushed ahead undaunted. Gave up everything I’ve ever known… …For everything I ever wanted. Everything I ever wanted [End Song]

My old friend, we meet again It's funny how somethings never end I thought you left me alone But I guess there's things I can't outgrow Like the monsters in my head And the ghosts beneath my bed And the fear that I'm not good enough My old friend you need to leave Just give me peace oh I'm begging please I have played all your games But I know this time the rules are gona change All these monsters in my head And the ghosts beneath my bed And the fear that I'm not good enough They're just lies that I have fed But I know if I try my best Then I'll be good enough My old friend you need to know I'm stronger now than I was before See yourself to the door There's no room for you anymore All these monsters in my head And the ghosts beneath my bed And the fear that I'm not good enough They're just lies that I have fed But I know if I try my best Then I'll be good enough All these monsters in my head And the ghosts beneath my bed And the fear that I'm not good enough They're just lies that I have fed But I know if I try my best Then I am good enough

V Bed sheets loose and crumpled In my dreams I had stumbled to a dark forest, like a tunnel of trees a road ahead, sun burst through the leaves Confused for a time, I felt fear startled to find someone else near a silhouette of a man, tired and aged he somehow knew I'd lost my way C He said, the dark road leads to light it's going to be such a beautiful sight A whole new world is waiting for you if you push on through The dark road leads to light the day always follows the night You'll see the blue dawn if you just hold on if you just hold on V Tossed and turned in my bed thinking about what the old man said I talked out loud in my sleep of a troubled past that still runs deep Bridge The ghostly old man smiled and nodded at me pointed ahead through the tunnel of trees It's just like trouble you see can't go around it, it's your fate got to go through it, it's the only way C He said, the dark road leads to light it's going to be such a beautiful sight A whole new world is waiting for you if you push on through The dark road leads to light the day always follows the night You'll see the blue dawn if you just hold on if you just hold on V My mind sensed a peaceful reprieve moved ahead through the tunnel of trees Watched the past sweep before my eyes feeling better with each passing sigh Who was this old man in my dreams part of my inner self it would seem Woke up to a calm state of mind out my window a bright sunshine C The dark road leads to light it's going to be such a beautiful sight A whole new world is waiting for you if you push on through The dark road leads to light the day always follows the night You'll see the blue dawn if you just hold on if you just hold on

He Didn’t Do Verse 1 My old man came from the wrong side of the tracks, He loved breaking momma’s heart like his whiskey glass, He used those same ways he broke her in two, On sister and me but we never knew, Bullying wasn’t something he didn’t do, Verse 2 He was only strong as the weakest in our house, Life hit hard with him but we all survived somehow, Like the devil in disguise he lied to us to, I prayed knowing God would help me make it through, Believing was something Dad didn’t do, Chorus 1 Didn’t do the crazy fights, with my wife, Didn’t make my kids run, scream, and hide, Didn’t leave em’ feeling so black and blue, I learned a lot about life from him, that’s the truth, By doing everything he didn’t do, Verse 3 Nowadays I’m raising a family of my own, Life’s been better since he’s been good and gone, When it came to a Dad I couldn’t pick or choose, Sometimes I wonder what was his excuse, For doing everything, I wouldn’t do, Chorus 2 Didn’t do the crazy fights, with my wife, Didn’t make my kids run, scream, and hide, Didn’t leave em’ feeling so black and blue, I learned a lot about life from him, that’s the truth, By doing everything, by doing everything, he didn’t do, Bridge It may be hard to understand, He made me… a better man…, (Chorus 2) - Repeat Outro I learned a lot about life from him, that's the truth, By doing everything he didn’t do… By doing everything he didn’t do…..

We Can Do It Again (One More Time) V1: Remember when we met and I was chasing my dream The road was never too tough for you and me Though we bathed in rivers and we slept in parking lots You never had a dollar, I never had a dime But we were deep in love and rich in time You gave your all to give me my best shot PC/CH: If we did it before, we can do it again, I know If we did it before, we can do it again, I know One more time, before the sunlight slips away One more time, before tomorrow becomes today One more time, don’t let the spark die in your heart 'Cause it’s never too late to start something new V2: Well, trying to settle down hasn’t gone like we planned I know you feel like you're stuck in the sand And sinking deeper with every passing week But behind my socks in the back of the closet There’s an old shoebox with your name on it Where I kept the dreams you set aside when you met me PC/CH: If we did it before, we can do it again, I know If we did it before, we can do it again, I know One more time, before the sunlight slips away One more time, before tomorrow becomes today One more time, don’t let the spark die in your heart 'Cause it’s never too late to start something new V3: So tune up your guitar, pack up the van With the double sleeping bag, peanut butter and jam It's your time to shine, mine to be your backup man You still don’t have a dollar, I still don’t have a dime But if you got the moxie, I got the time We may die broke, but at least we will die free PC/CH: If we did it before, we can do it again, I know If we did it before, we can do it again, I know One more time, before the sunlight slips away One more time, before tomorrow becomes today One more time, don’t let the spark die in your heart 'Cause it’s never too late to start one more time One more time, one more time, one more time

I longed for the sense of rain That falls without vanity So infinitely eternal Human levees break through Takes you to strange corners I wiped my tears away It seemed right to have some I returned my pride to you I never wrote a song That I didn't talk about you One day you will tell me That the sky cries with us It gathers its stars While those They pull away And tell me you will meet me In the fresh and beautiful rain Every thought about you Is like a drop of dew That never leaves So come and meet me in the beautiful rain, the beautiful rain So come and meet me in the beautiful rain When I open up my diary Reminiscing's kinda bitter sweet It feels good to be nostalgic Distracted in the present Lying in this bed I made I'm watching all the rain fall down And how it never goes back up So we will have to leave somehow The clouds are passing by And the storm is coming One day you will tell me That the sky cries with us It gathers its stars While those They pull away And tell me you will meet me In the fresh and beautiful rain Every thought about you Is like a drop of dew That never leaves So come and meet me in the beautiful rain So come and meet me in the beautiful rain Beautiful rain

Pot Of Gold Don Eidman I spoke with man weary and gray He shared me the tales Of his better days And with tears in his eyes And barely a smile I could tell deep inside He-still was child Now wisdom comes with age I'm told But are the answers worth Getting old His Spirit is warm But his body is cold And time is one thing that No man can control" He said "I spent 80 odd years Looking for truth And-80 odd years Searching for proof Too many years wasting my youth In the quest for that pot of-gold" Rainbows in life I've seen quite a few And looking back most of the skies They have been blue But the thunder still Scares me like when I was a child Although on the outside I may seem rather mild You see the storms of life They are not to be feared But to prepare us for Our last final years As our body has served Us like the hands of a clock And the mystery of Life will soon be unlocked He said I spent 80 odd years Just looking for truth And-80 odd years Searching for proof Too many years wasting my youth In the quest for that pot of-gold He looked like each breath He took would be his last But he continued rambling Of His stories of past He told me that life Goes to damn fast As his skin developed A pale deadly cast He said The angels are coming for me The war is over And I found victory I'm walking on rainbows I'm tall and I'm bold At the end of the patht waits My pot of gold He said I spent 80 odd years Looking for truth And-80 odd years Searching for proof Too many years wasting my youth In the quest for my pot of-gold

Life is like a volcano with destruction all around, Heartache crashing near you, a thundering sound. When everything feels like darkness you never let me down. Chorus You are the rock I lean on when all about me is sinking earth. Justice and hope are crumbling at my feet. You are my rock, my rebirth.

“FREE ME” Written By: Michelle Robison Here we are again In this uncompromising wind We can’t look back, We can’t move forward I feel like I can’t live my life Until the storms subside Though I try, It seems impossible Gates are down, Floods rollin’ in Every time it’s sink or swim I can’t hold back I dive in and save you Wish I could learn to trust Not be afraid you’ll self-destruct But Instead, I just enable What if I didn’t wait the storm out Catch the tail and ride along Could I fly above the rain Where I no longer feel your pain If I let go of you would it free me If I let go of you will you survive Tempest is rising I can hear it from my room I hold my breathe, And pray it all ends soon My fortress slowly crumbling down Lord, please help me stand my ground Deep down I know that I am able What if I didn’t wait the storm out (Not this time) Catch the tail and ride along Could I fly above the rain Where I no longer feel your pain If I let go of you would it free me If I let go of you could you still fly Free Me To find a life brand new Free me Only you can free you Free me... Backstory behind the song: The song was written about my personal struggles of living with a loved one who suffers from addiction and trying to break free from the cycle of codependency.

A LITTLE HAPPINESS Came home from that war in 1969 Thought I could leave everything behind But not to my surprise I was telling myself lies There was no turning around Till I found myself Couldn't stop thinking about that damn war Drinking at the corner bar wouldn't heal that sore Tried to flush it all away But the bad dreams they'd stay Didn't know what to do Was a battle I couldn't win So I cursed at the devil Prayed to the angels Searched for something that could fix my mess Begged for forgiveness Dug me a real deep hole And I found a little happiness Called my war buddy to spread the word Told him you could win the war inside and I'm not being absurd Talk about what's bothering you Tell somebody your point of view Cleanse your tortured soul And get a little for you CHORUS If you don't cure what's ailing you You're never ever going to break through CHORUS I've found a little happiness

You’re a very special boy, God only makes a few I’d like to think He’s choosy, on who He gives them to You arrived the perfect answer, to what me and mom prayed But soon Autism, stole you away Your thoughts and dreams all trapped, prisoners of your mind You’ve never said “I love you”, but we see it all the time But someday when we’re in heaven, I can have a talk with you son I want to hear you thoughts, know how you felt, about all the things we’ve done I’ve known you all your life but your still a mystery Someday when we’re in heaven, we can talk for eternity Someday when we’re in heaven, we can talk for eternity The other day I saw mom, get a hug from you You don’t give them often but it’s, nice when you do Your way of saying thanks, it was so sincere And without making a sound, you said it loud and clear We try to make you happy, do what we think is best We look for every clue you give, but mostly it’s a guess But someday when we’re in heaven, I can have a talk with you son I want to hear you thoughts, know how you felt, about all the things we’ve done I’ve known you all your life but your still a mystery Someday when we’re in heaven, we can talk for eternity Someday when we’re in heaven, we can talk for eternity

VERSE 1 When I walk my dog, I feel a little better, I look a little better, 'Cause I’m with my good-looking dog. When I walk my dog, The world’s a little sweeter And I’m a little sweeter Walking with my sweet-natured dog. The glory of my canine chum Reminds me of how far they’ve come From wild creatures that they used to be One day I hope to say the same for me. VERSE 2 When I walk my dog, I feel a little taller, Tho' my dog’s a little smaller, He's such a bighearted dog. When I walk my dog, I forget about my troubles. And my happiness is doubled. Belly rubs for my waggy dog. God bless all creatures great and small. We need those blessings, all of us, yes all. While some of us look to the skies above Me, I look down to see just what is love. Love love! VERSE 3 When I’m with my dog I do a lot more hopin’ Yeah my heart’s a lot more open When I’m with my dear dopey dog. When I’m with that dog, Yeah the sun’s a little brighter, I’m more lover than a fighter. When I’m with that ever-loving dog. I’m singing just to give some thanks. For earthly creatures of the highest rank. It’s clear that doggies know much more than us. Note the million things that they need not discuss. VERSE 4 So here’s to my dog. None of us is getting younger. And I just want to share the wonder Of my one what-a-wonder dog…

One Together By Casey Edge She has always kept the lights on, always kept the faith Knowing we were surely meant to be Now my life has changed forever, there’s no time to waste Everything is very clear to me Hand in hand as one together, rising high above the weather Cloudy skies are only in the mind Every day’s a gift to savour, live for now, not for later Love awaits for all of us to find I looked up one day to see her, smiling eyes and face Windows to the soul are always real Glowing like a candle, with so much inner grace My head just started spinning like a wheel Ours is not to wonder why, fortune shines upon this guy If you seek a love that’s true, look for the eyes smiling at you Now we always keep the lights on, always keep the faith Knowing we are surely meant to be Since our lives have changed forever, there’s no time to waste Everything is very clear to see Hand in hand as one together, rising high above the weather Cloudy skies are only in the mind Every day’s a gift to savour, live for now, not for later Love awaits for all of us to find Love awaits for all of us to find

Jesus I’m a newbie I don’t know how to pray Like that Jimmy Stewart movie I need an angel sent my way You make it pretty clear You’ve got ten firm rules Don’t matter if my rear Sits on a pew or bar stool Your door was standing open So I just walked on in Hit my knees beside your pulpit Started spilling out some sins Sometimes I feel like giving up I’m hoping you can hear my voice Even though I know I make it tough For you to hear me through the noise My mom would be encouraged That I’m finally talking to you Cause You know how much she worries I guess the truth is I do too Your door was standing open So I just walked on in Hit my knees beside your pulpit Started spilling out some sins Sometimes I feel like giving up I’m hoping you can hear my voice Even though I know I make it tough For you to hear me through the noise Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok my head’s a blur In a world that never disconnects the only thing that did was her Your door was standing open So I just walked on in Hit my knees beside your pulpit Started spilling out some sins Sometimes I feel like giving up I’m hoping you can hear my voice Even though I know I make it tough For you to hear me through the noise

Forgiveness V Resistance in redemption forms the carnage from contempt As you curse darkness in this prison that’s been built Crafted for comfort little room to escape Bound by a heart that can only bend and never break C The taste of bitterness with blame Seeking a purpose for the pain Through cracks look for a path light is revealing In forgiveness you’ll find freedom V2 Resentment in relation to moments that arise Build walls of what was that divide from the divine There will come a day you will be released When you unchain a past that should also be set free C The taste of bitterness with blame Seeking a purpose for the pain Through cracks look for a path light is revealing In forgiveness you’ll find freedom B Mercy leads a way into the passage of regret Where forgiving others starts when you forgive yourself Adorn what’s broken breaking out of what has been Rise from the ruins and feel All the hurt change to healing In forgiveness you’ll find freedom
