Like a Playground Without Swings

Away from my heart

Outside of my mind

I locked you out

And so became blind

I thought you wouldn't notice

I didn't think you would care

But now I'm the one

Who feels naked and bare

I tried to replace you

With temporary things

But I felt so incomplete

Like a playground without swings

I need you like air

Without you I'd die

I don't know why I run

I fall each time I try

Thank you for being faithful

For always sticking around

I change with the weather

But you're my solid ground

I asked for rain

And you made it pour

You are all I need

And just a little bit more.

Sky's the Limit

Reach out and take it

Don’t listen to the lies that you can’t make it

I promise that you wont regret it

Look around and see where you are

Come and see that you’re not very far

I know it’s been rough from the start

But don’t give it up or put it down

Let it go and take a look around

It’s time to be real and get off the ground

Don’t forget where you first began

You’re life is more than a grain of sand

I would know cause that’s where I stand

There’s a place for you in this life I know

Even when the road ahead doesn’t show

But you won’t know if you never go

I want to see you aiming for the sky

Cause you'll never know till you give it a try

And it could all be gone before you can say goodbye
