7/16/13 Everybody's Hero By: LissaJoy♥

                   Everybody's Hero

They say they need help. And, so do you.
But you push it aside and ask 'What can I do?'
They pour out their heart, you try to understand
You give them your all but this is not what you had planned
The more that you give, the more pain you feel inside
But you can't give up now. You at least have to try
You give till it hurts and hold nothing back
And when they need a little more, you give them just that
Everyone needs a hero. Someone to save the day
But you can't be that hero, not forever anyways
You bend until you break, you give and never take
Just so you can be-Everybody's Hero
Your strength is wearing thin
Don't know how long you'll last
But as long as you've air to breathe
you've gotta try and make it last
You give till it hurts and hold nothing back
And when they need a little more, you give them just that
Everyone needs a hero. Someone to save the day
But you can't be that hero, not forever anyways
You bend until you break, give and never take
All so you can be-Everybody's hero
But what if just once, that hero wasn't you?
What if you let someone in...to be a hero for you?
Cuz everyone needs a hero. Someone to save the day
But you can't be that hero. Not forever anyways
You bend until you break, give and never take
All so you can be---Everybody's hero.

1/22/13 Heaven Is For Real By:LissaJoy♥

This song was specifically written for my Grandpa Clifton, who passed away from cancer on Valentine's 2013. I started writing this, just trying to process what was going on. And it really helped putting it on paper. I realized he Is waiting for me. And I will see him again. Cuz, Heaven IS for real:) Love you Grandpa!♥

Heaven Is For Real
By: Melissa Clifton

I wrote you a letter, I couldn't send it to you though.
If Heaven has an address to me it is unknown.
The letter said 'I love you, and I miss your smiling face
I wish I could be with you cuz you're in a better place.'
I'd give anything to see you. I'd give anything for just one day more.
I'd give up this earthly stuff just to hear you say:
'I'm right here. It's okay. I'll wait for you,
until your days are through. And you join me here one day.'
It's been three years since you left. I still miss you every day.
Will I ever get to see you? Will I ever find my way?
Sometimes I dream about you. And how that day will feel.
When I finally get to see you, cuz Heaven is for real.
I'd give anything to see you. I'd give anything for just one day more.
I'd give up this earthly stuff just to hear you say:
'I'm right here. It's okay. I'll wait for you,
until your days are through. And you join me here one day.'
My family surrounds me. My stories coming to an end.
Someone in Heavens waiting for me..an eternity together we will spend.
Don't be sad I'm leaving. Please, try and stay strong.
I know that you will miss me..but I've been waiting for so long.
Cuz I've been waiting to see you.
I've been waiting, I've just one day more.
I've given up this earthly stuff. I can hear you say:
'Come to me. It's okay. I waited for you..
and now your days are through...
You'll join me here..today'
