Resilience Redefined CD Insert Notes:
My Innocence
Whispers in the darkness
Telling me not to make a sound
Forced entry, robbed of my innocence
My body froze as my heart began to pound
Don’t leave me
Don’t forsake me
Don’t escape me
My innocence
[repeat lyrics]
Tarnished by the darkness
Hoping to regain my shine
More events robbing my innocence
Longing for that I no longer call mine
Don’t leave me
Don’t forsake me
Don’t escape me
My innocence
Don’t leave me
Don’t forsake me
Don’t escape me
You were there as a child
You were there in my heart
Now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
Comforted by the darkness
A veil that shields my eyes
Memories of my innocence
Within me they still reside
Chorus
Fly, My Love
Tightly I held you close to me
Your love was all I could feel
Silently you slipped away
If only I could hold you again
My heart cries
Fly, my love, fly
Spread your wings
Fly, high
Follow your dreams
Fly, my love, fly
Spread your wings
Fly, high
Now that you’re free
I see you in my mind’s eye
In my dreams, stay a while
As I hold onto these memories
Hoping that they’ll never leave
My heart cries
Chorus
I must learn to let you go
Though I’ll always love you heart and soul
Whisper in my ear that it’s all a dream
And you’re coming back home to me
Chorus
Searching for happiness
Through all this sadness
Can I find it on my own
Now that I’m all alone
Without you
Without you
Day In, Day Out
The sun’s not up yet
Time to get out of bed
Take a shower, get dressed
Wake the kids and get them fed
Get their lunches, get their bags
Get their coats and get their shoes
Load the car, it’s time to go
Drop the kids at different schools
Day in, day in
Day in, day in
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
[repeat lyrics]
Every day it’s the same old thing
Every day, same ol’ same ol’
Every day, it’s the same ol’ thing
Every day, same ol’ same ol’
Get stuck in a traffic jam
Have to wait and wait and wait
Blood pressure rises
Chances are that you’ll be late
Get to work, it’s nonstop
All throughout the whole day
Five o’clock, it’s time to go
Have to stay and work late
Chorus
Don’t be late to daycare
Dollar a minute past six
Get home, time for dinner
Figure out what food to fix
Clean the kitchen, sweep the floors
Finish homework, get their baths
Bedtime stories, lights out
The day is over at last
Day in, day in
Day in, day in
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
[repeat lyrics]
Day in, day in
Day in, day out
Day in, day in
Day in, day out
Not Dead Yet
Don’t go ahead and buy my casket
Don’t go ahead and buy my funeral wreath
Don’t go ahead and dig my deep, cold grave
Don’t go ahead and bury me
‘Cause,
I’m not dead
Not dead
Not dead, yet
[repeat lyrics]
Don’t throw me out like rotten fruit
Don’t throw me out like an old worn shoe
Don’t throw me out like dirty water
Don’t throw me out like last week’s news
‘Cause,
I’m not dead
Not dead
Not dead, yet
[repeat lyrics]
Don’t throw me out with the trash, like I’m a rusty old, worn nail
Don’t throw me out with the trash, like I’m a piece of junk mail
I’ve got more to give
I’ve got longer to live
I’ve got more to do
Might live longer than you!
‘Cause,
I’m not dead
Not dead
Not dead, yet
[repeat lyrics]
I’m not dead, yet
Tear Down This Wall
Lived my life a lone star
Built my fortress and made it strong
Lived my life my own way
Drew the bridge and closed the gate
Tear down this wall I’ve built
Weathered by years of guilt
Tear it down, stone by stone
Tear it down, am I all alone
Many friends, many lovers
Yet no one to call my own
Hoping you will come my way
Fearing that you’ll see my soul
Tear down this wall I’ve built
Constructed by the pain I’ve felt
Tear it down, stone by stone
Tear it down, am I all alone
The winds of time
Will erode
The strongest stone
Flesh and bone
Only it remains
Tear down this wall I’ve built
Weathered by years of guilt
Tear it down, stone by stone
Tear it down, am I all alone
Tear it down, this wall that I’ve built
Constructed by the pain I’ve felt
Tear it down, stone by stone
Tear it down, am I all alone
