In Each of us Lies a Story Untold

In each of us lies a story untold

In each of us lies a word unspoken

In each of us lies a tear unshed

In each of us lies a chuckle unheard

In each of us lies a joy unshared

In each of us lies a smile unseen

In each of us lies an idea unattended

In each of us lies talent undiscovered

In each of us lies a hurt unacknowledged

In each of us lies endurance untested

In each of us lies a song never sung

And a dance never danced

In each of us lies a struggle unexpressed

In each of us lies courage unknown

In each of us lies failure unanticipated

In each of us lies progress unrecorded

And one day if you want to share

This story that is yours

For a reason not important; nor to be judged right or wrong

but simply to lighten your heart

And know that you are not alone,

I am listening.

Faith

(First song that I composed - in college. The song is not talking about love. It's about life, about not reaching goals in-spite of working hard for them.)


There’s a time in your life when you think you can’t go on
There’s a time when you look around for something to hold on
Gave it all you had but it didn’t work out
And all the tears you had had all dried out

Picking dreams up from the dust
Afraid to turn a hope coated in rust
For a prayer too many have been lost
Looking for the one thing that's gone

A simple faith, a simple belief
(That stays) forever like an evergreen leaf
So you will find the way
Wake up to a brighter day
You will come out strong
It won’t take too long



You know this pain will lead you nowhere
Have a little faith in yourself and you’ll see the end
Of these trying times and this endless night
When every little thing is gonna come out right

Finding ourselves is not easy
You have to learn just when to let go
For no one's there to hold your hand
But still you've got to make a stand

(For a)
Simple faith, a simple belief
Forever like an evergreen leaf
So you will find the way
Wake up to a brighter day
You will come out strong
It won’t take too long…

Before it all ever started
You and I were told
That it's not worth the trouble
We were left out in the cold
Only to realize that it wasn't
So bad after all
For we are just a little stronger for it

So if you knew that you could make it
Would you show them what you're made of
You won't ever need no miracle
To go and touch the pinnacle....
