Br: Paint today with a positive brush Little things add up to so much Like seeds of hope, sharing gifts Celebrate, and don’t miss this.

    I Wanna Stay (Universal) What am I to say now To leave isn't right; There's much I don't wanna face But I can't give up on life; I have many questions; They keep me up at night; But if I'm to make it past today I know I've gotta fight; I gotta say... I wanna stay! I wanna stay! God, if you can hear me pray I wanna stay! These shoes I'm wearing Don't seem like mine; I could step into this future Leave it all behind; But the gravity that keeps me here The loves I hold dear; While forever is seductive It's the present that I fear; But I wanna say... I wanna stay! I wanna stay! I wanna stay! God, if you can hear me pray I wanna stay! In the beauty of a sunset lingering on the sea There is wonder in the world I wonder if there's some in me? / and maybe some in me I wanna stay! .......stay! .......stay! God, if you can hear me pray I wanna stay! ......stay! ......stay! God, if you can hear me pray I wanna stay! I found this vocalist on SoundBetter and am wondering if she would be the right voice for this song? https://soundbetter.com/profiles/180462-arianna-hume

    Soar - Karen’s Song Words by Karen Mitchell Music by Karen Mitchell and Eric Uglum copyright 2018 V1: The doctor said its cancer I sank in my chair A dagger through my heart with no time to prepare The phone slipped from my hand unaware An avalanche of doubt filled my thoughts and my prayers CH: But like an eagle I’ll soar in the wind I won’t lose hope she will triumph again I may be damaged but I’ll find a way To rise above these fears and soar! V2: I have lived for years with the ghost of that storm Shadows from the past taking on taunting forms As if broken’s become the new norm Bur every day I say I will never, never conform! CH: But like an eagle I’ll soar in the wind I won’t lose hope she will triumph again I may be damaged but I’ll find a way To rise above these fears and soar! Bridge: Soar soar ahahah I will soar Soar soar ahahah I will soar 1/2 CH: The doctor said it’s cancer I sank in my chair; Life can knock me down but it can’t keep me there!

We can refuse to tolerate new ideas. But when we choose to co-operate it doesn’t seem to take that long. ‘til love builds a bridge we’ll cross together. We Look at the World Through Different Eyes; But we’re not ones who criticize; We are people who compromise; And the value of that is clear; We’ll learn to Look at the World Through Different Eyes.

Of all the places I could be I like them better when you’re with me. Of all the things I like to do I have more fun When I’m With You.
