The longest song I have written, and it took me the most time...still not sure that I am totally happy with it...but I like it


The deep blue ocean
With it's hidden secrets
And mysterious ways
Controlled by the moon
It's ever constant flow
That hugs the shore

The big whales that
Rome the wild oceans
That swim in the
Darkest depths
Discovering secrets
We only dream of

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

The plants that grow
Under the sea
With beautiful colours
And crazy shapes
Moving with the
Currents of the world

he fish that swim
In the waters
So many shapes
Sizes, colours and
Each has it's own place
Where it belongs

The trees of forests
Branches continually
Stretching for the sky
Always out of reach
But home to so many
Animals and insects

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it


The insects that crawl
Along the leaves
That climb the branches
Build their nests
Live in groups
That are millions strong

The muddy paths
That lead into the dark
Of the unknown
Taking you somewhere
New, somewhere old
Somewhere different


This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

The birds that wake
With the Dawn
That sing their song Telling the world
How they feel
If only people listen

The thick grasses
Of the African plains
That change with
The seasons each year
Where the hunt
Takes place

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

The lions that
Live under the burning
Sun in their prides
The cubs that play
The mums who hunt
The males who sleep
The jungle that hides
The secrets we can
Only hope of
The trees, the animals
The plants and insects
That live upon the beauty

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

The leopard that hunts
In the darkness
So quiet, secretive with
Big paws and spotted fur
There are many types
If only we take time to look

The desert hot and dry
A hostile environment
Where little survives
The burning sun
Dust and sandstorms
That can be your death

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

The lizard that hides
In the dark night
Only there in the heat
Of the day
Lying on sun baked
Rocks seeking warmth

The wetlands that thrive
Anywhere in the world
They support so much
Life that is so varied This is the place where
birds breed, a true treasure

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

The frogs that live both
In and out of water
That can be so
Many different colours
And can leap so far
And can be deadly

The American outback
That is so beautiful
With the country boys
And dirt roads that
Lead to nowhere
But are always loved

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

The horses so many colours
So many patterns so many
Personalities but all can
Be tamed, and ridden
Galloping over the world
With us along for the ride

The Waterfalls of the world
So powerful thundering
Down cliff faces
With long gorges reaching
Out behind them
And pools that ever deepen

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

The tigers with their black

Stripes that hide them so
Well in the jungles
Big paws and golden eyes
That move so silently
And see everything

The rivers that wind
Though the mountains
And down though
The open plains
Flowing into the
Open waters of the ocean

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

The seals that brave
The cold Arctic to breed
Where so many predators are
Waiting to take their young
As is the way of the world
Nothing is as it seems

The mountains that push up
Cutting through the skyline
With their ever growing peaks
That are formed by the
Earths plates pushing
Together for the rest of time

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

The goats that can climb
The steep hillsides
So sure footed
No danger of falling
The graze whenever Not affected by time

The ice of the Arctic
The Antarctic, iceland
And Greenland
So cold yet so pure
So totally untouched
So out of reach

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

The dolphins that leap
Through the skin of the ocean
So playful so happy
So beautiful they bring
A smile to our faces
As they dive together

This word is big and crazy
But it's the only one
We have so let's look after it

 
His eyes, his nose, his mouth
His ears, his hands, his body
His laugh, his smile, his touch
I’m on fire, burning inside
He’s taken me, stolen my heart

One sunny afternoon
I was running through
The beautiful blue river
When I saw him there
Watching me like I was him

That was when I felt
The fire light, when I knew
He was the one for me
He smiled, and shivers
Ran down my spine

I couldn’t stop looking
But we never spoke
Then he left
Left me alone
In the beautiful blue river

I went home feeling
Loved and lost
Hope and despair
Wondering how he
Had stolen my heart

My stolen heart
Was taken by a
Beautiful cowboy
One sunny afternoon

The next day
I went to the river
I needed to see him
Once more to say
How he had stolen my heart

But he never came
He never came to me
I was left alone again
Feeling so sad, I wished
For him so badly

I went to the river every day
Hoping to see him once more
But as the weeks past
I never saw him again
And was giving up hope

The fire inside me
Was dying, it was time
For me to move on
It was clear, we were not
Meant to be

My stolen heart
Was taken by a
Beautiful cowboy
One sunny afternoon

It was several months
Later when I next went
To the beautiful blue river
And what I saw
Stolen my breathe away

There was my cowboy
Sitting on the river bank
Waiting and watching
He turned and saw me
My heart leapt

As he came running and
Took me in his arms
And hissed me
That day we spent
Loving each other

My stolen heart
Was taken by
A beautiful cowboy
One sunny afternoon

It was three months
Later that we married
One sunny afternoon
On the banks of the
Beautiful blue river

We honeymooned
In California
And built our house
Less than six miles
From where we first met

Just under a year later
Our first child
A baby girl Carrie
Two more followed
We had a family

As they grew
So did our love
For each other
We never parted
Together always

My stolen heart
Was taken by
A beautiful cowboy
One sunny afternoon

My stolen heart
Was taken by
A beautiful cowboy
One sunny afternoon
 
It takes just a moment
To say hello
But it takes forever
To say goodbye
I never want to say
Goodbye to you

It takes just a moment
But I never took that moment
I never said hello
Now I can’t bring
Myself to say goodbye
To you, even though I should

It takes just a moment
To say hello
But it takes forever
To say goodbye

It takes just a moment
And I wish for the moment
To last forever
I wish I could stay
And be with you always
But its time for me to go

It takes just a moment
To say hello
But it takes forever
To say goodbye

It takes just a moment
Here I am in tears
Welling in my eyes
Knowing what Ive got to say
But this is taking forever
Because I’m saying goodbye

It takes just a moment
To say hello
But it takes forever
To say goodbye

I never want to say
Goodbye to you
 
The bridges I’ve burnt,
They make me, who I am,
They have scared me,
Torn me apart,
But they have shown me, who I really am,
Underneath all this hurt and pain,
I know that they can’t always be rebuilt,
The bridges I’ve burnt,

There have been many bridges through my life
Some have cut me like a knife,
Others have shown me love,
As pure as a white dove,
But all of them have helped make me,
Who I am today,

The bridges I’ve burnt,
They tell the story of my life,
They have cut me up,
Left me for dead,
But they have made,
 Me stronger, and happier today,
I know that I can’t always fix,
The bridges I’ve burnt, 

There have been many bridges through my life
Some have cut me like a knife,
Others have shown me love,
As pure as a white dove,
But all of them have helped make me,
Who I am today,

The bridges I’ve burnt,
If I walked down their paths again,
I could tell you step by step,
The journey I would be taking,
This is because it is the journey,
Of my life, of my past,
And I remember all those I’ve shared it with,
And all those bridges I’ve burnt

There have been many bridges through my life
Some have cut me like a knife,
Others have shown me love,
As pure as a white dove,
But all of them have helped make me,
Who I am today,

There have been many bridges through my life
Some have cut me like a knife,
Others have shown me love,
As pure as a white dove,
But all of them have helped make me,
Who I am today
 
I sometimes wonder why
Wonder why life,
Can be so complicated,
It can hurt you, like a knife,
Or can be as sweet as that guy
I met last week, 

It can hurt you, even kill you,
With just one blow,
It is so harsh, so unfair,     
So difficult to understand,
But yet, last week it brought me,
So close to the edge, and it showed me,
All the secrets of this so called life,
I have found myself living,

I sometimes wonder why
Wonder why life,
Can be so complicated,
It can hurt you, like a knife,
Or can be as sweet as that guy
I met last week, 

It can be so sad
Take away from you those you love,
In a heartbeat, just like that,
And you never even had chance to say bye,
But yet, last week, I found a lover,
And it was because of this life,
That I found him,
So maybe it’s not all that sad,

I sometimes wonder why
Wonder why life,
Can be so complicated,
It can hurt you, like a knife,
Or can be as sweet as that guy
I met last week,

It can make you happy,
For no apparent reason,
You can suddenly find yourself smiling,
And have a warm, fuzzy feeling inside,
Or it can break you down,
With tears pouring down your cheeks,
Long winding rivers flowing from your eyes,
And you can hardly stand for the pain your holding inside

I sometimes wonder why
Wonder why life,
Can be so complicated,
It can hurt you, like a knife,
Or can be as sweet as that guy
I met last week,

I said I sometimes wonder why
Wonder why life,
Can be so complicated,
It can hurt you, like a knife,
Or can be as sweet as that guy
I met last week
 
I wanna fly
Will you let me?
I wanna do what I
Feel I have to
Will you let me?
I wanna be me
Will you let me?
Please?

Can’t you see
I am not the person
You thought I was
I am me, my own
Person, you can’t
Control me, I am
Not your baby girl

Changed, please,
Let me go

I wanna fly
Will you let me?
I wanna do what I
Feel I have to
Will you let me?

I can’t be bound by
These chains anymore
I need to feel
Alive, feel something
Real, let me go and
Don’t worry about
Me, I can look after
Myself now, I can
Survive without
You looking over my shoulder

I wanna fly
Will you let me?
I wanna do what I
Feel I have to
Will you let me?
I wanna be me
Will you let me?
Please?

I have done things
You can’t even imagine
I know more about life than
You think, so please let me live
I know you worry
But there is no need
I can take care of me
Now it’s time to let me go
It’s time for me to
Find out who I am

I wanna fly
Will you let me?
I wanna do what I
Feel I have to
Will you let me?
I wanna be me
Will you let me?
Please?

I wanna fly
Will you let me?
I wanna do what I
Feel I have to
Will you let me?
I wanna be me
Will you let me?
Please?
 
Today I came here to ask you something God,
Why me? Why does he love me? I’m nothing special
I’m not pretty or sexy or that talented, I’m no A grade
Student so why me? Please answer me, I need to know.
I think that he loves me but why I don’t know
I can’t see in me what he does so why me?

He could have anyone, he’s smart, funny and drop dead gorgeous
Yet he chooses me. He could have the head cheerleader,
The teachers daughter, anyone so why me?

Today I wish to find out the answer to my question,
I wish to know why me? I am lost, confused and a bit
Worried, what if he is playing me? What if the love he
Is showing me is something he doesn’t really feel? I
Just want to know why he choose me, everyone is jealous but
I can’t see in me what he does so why me?

He could have anyone, he’s smart, funny and drop dead gorgeous
Yet he chooses me. He could have the head cheerleader,
The teachers daughter, anyone so why me?

Today I know I should confront him, but I am just too
Scared, I love him and am afraid of losing him because I
Can’t help but doubt him. Why me? Why did he
Fall for me? I know I should trust him yet it’s
All too good to be real, I’m not anything special
I can’t see in me what he does so why me?

He could have anyone, he’s smart, funny and drop dead gorgeous
Yet he chooses me. He could have the head cheerleader,
The teachers daughter, anyone so why me?

He could have anyone, he’s smart, funny and drop dead gorgeous
Yet he chooses me. He could have the head cheerleader,
The teachers daughter, anyone so why me?

Please God tell me, why me? Why me? I said why me?

I need to ask you something,
It’s not to buy me a diamond ring
But something far more important to me
Because there is something I want you to see,
It’s about what I feel for you
I feel something so pure and true
I don’t know how to put it into words
So please, can you, from here onwards
Bare with me as I tell my story,
I’ll try to tell this quickly
But I can’t and won’t promise anything
Let’s start with the day we met, laughing
By the beach, swimming in the sea
And you called me baby

So here we are and
I need to ask this of you
It means a lot to me, because since I
Met you this life has never been the same
For me, and so I need to ask
Please, never let me go
If you did I think I would die
You are my world now, please
Never let me go

The next day we talked till midnight
And made love until we could see daylight
I never realized I would come to love you,
Love you just as much as I now do
Standing here in your doorway
I see that I have to find someway
To show you what I feel inside
I sit down at your bedside
Look into your eyes and
Tell you how much your love means
Love I have never felt before, not even in my teens
Our love is one of a kind, the very best
I am totally obsessed

So here we are and
I need to ask this of you
It means a lot to me, because since I
Met you this life has never been the same
For me, and so I need to ask
Please, never let me go
If you did I think I would die
You are my world now, please
Never let me go

I haven’t known you all that long
But I know I am not wrong
In what I feel for you
So without any adieu
Let’s start our life, together
Say our vows at the altar,
And make love till the morning light
Once more, dance in the moonlight
Because I love you more the anyone
Don’t tell me this is so sudden
I know but please say yes
And call me your princess
I know I’m not meant to do this
But I couldn’t live without your kiss

So here we are and
I need to ask this of you
It means a lot to me, because since I
Met you this life has never been the same
For me, and so I need to ask
Please, never let me go
If you did I think I would die
You are my world now, please
Never let me go

Your touch, your love, I need all of you
I just wish you knew
What I felt the day I saw you standing
There, my dreams came true, loving
You is all I want to do
What I’m saying is true
You are my only love darling
We have an amazing, sparkling
Love like no other in this life
So, one day please make me your wife
It’s doesn’t have to be soon
You don’t have to give me the moon
I just need your promise
And your everlasting kindness

So here we are and
I need to ask this of you
It means a lot to me, because since I
Met you this life has never been the same
For me, and so I need to ask
Please, never let me go
If you did I think I would die
You are my world now, please
Never let me go
