Backroads and Broken Dreams

### **🎵 (Untitled) – To the Tune of *Tibok*** *(Verse 1)* 🎶 It is made of string and produces a hollow sound box, Across which nylon, wire, or gut strings are stretched. Stringed musical instruments are composed of the smallest, Like violin, viola—ohhh. 🎶 *(Pre-Chorus)* 🎶 To the biggest ones, like cello and double bass, The smaller ones produce a higher tone. The bigger ones, they make it lower, These instruments are important in an orchestra. 🎶 *(Chorus)* 🎶 Haaa~ the harp is optional, But one of the oldest stringed instruments. Haaa~ the guitar is most popular, But it’s rarely used in the orchestra. 🎶 *(Verse 2)* 🎶 The guitar is always part of the jazz band, It is used to accompany folk songs. It could also be a solo instrument, Classical for solo, electric for amps. 🎶 *(Pre-Chorus - Repeat)* 🎶 To the biggest ones, like cello and double bass, The smaller ones produce a higher tone. The bigger ones, they make it lower, These instruments are important in an orchestra. 🎶 *(Chorus - Repeat)* 🎶 Haaa~ the harp is optional, But one of the oldest stringed instruments. Haaa~ the guitar is most popular, But it’s rarely used in the orchestra. 🎶 *(Outro - Slow Down)* 🎶 A classical guitar for a solo player, While the electric one needs amplifiers... 🎶 -

Sitting here with pen in hand Wondering if youll understand The song i write today Has changed along the way Tell me future me Are we who we hoped to be Did those moutains seem so small Did we make it after all Got these plans drawn in my mind Sure that love is what ill find Betting on the heart to know Which direction i should go Tell me future me Are we who we hoped to be Did those moutains seem so small Did we make it after all Looking back from where you stand Do you smile at all these plans Tell me future tell me what you see We are who were meant to be And those mountains still stand tall Yes we made it after all Yes we made it after all

[Verse] No quiero volver al mundo otra vez Donde se apagó mi fuego entre sus redes Esa senda ciega llena de paredes Donde mi alma lloraba sin su fe [Verse 2] Caminé perdido entre sombras de papel Persiguiendo un eco vacío y cruel Hoy me miro al espejo y rompo el mantel De promesas falsas y sueños de hiel [Chorus] Hoy pude comprender la verdad en mi ser El amor que abraza y me logra encender De tinieblas salí y hoy puedo renacer El amor es mi guía jamás lo he de perder [Verse 3] Antes la soledad era todo mi hogar La tristeza dormía en mi frente lunar Hoy siento un susurro que viene a alumbrar El camino de vida que debo andar [Bridge] Pero no es tarde jamás pa caminar El sol me lleva donde puedo amistar Con mi alma que vuelve su paz a encontrar El amor siempre salva no lo voy a soltar [Chorus] Hoy pude comprender la verdad en mi ser El amor que abraza y me logra encender De tinieblas salí y hoy puedo renacer El amor es mi guía jamás lo he de perder

[Verse 1] I was born where the river bends Where the cornfields never end Mama raised me with a Bible in hand Daddy taught me how to be a man [Pre-Chorus] But the winds of change they called my name Telling me life’s more than the same So I packed my heart and left the farm Chasing the world’s untamed charm [Chorus] Backroads and broken dreams Carved my life through silent streams Dusty boots and fractured skies Searching for truth in the lies [Verse 2] I met a girl with a restless soul Together we swore to take control But love burns fast and leaves a scar She vanished like a falling star [Chorus] Backroads and broken dreams Carved my life through silent streams Dusty boots and fractured skies Searching for truth in the lies [Bridge] Tired hands that built the fight Still reach out for the fading light Every mile I’ve walked alone Led me back to the seeds I’d sown

[Verse] The northern woods grow quiet still, A leader steps down from the hill. Promises made but left undone, A fading shadow in the morning sun. [Verse 2] The Maple Leaf still waves so proud, But whispers rise from the growing crowd. They say, "His name won't linger near, No songs of him, no fond revere." [Chorus] The trail goes cold where he once led, The echo fades; the words unsaid. No tears will fall; no hearts will pine, A chapter closed, left undefined. [Verse 3] He spoke of hope, of sunny skies, But storms rolled in and soaked the lies. The north remembers, winters bite, A chill remains in the fading light. [Bridge] The snow falls soft on Parliament Hill, A silence deep, a breathless still. No one sings his tale of fame, Just embers left, no roaring flame. [Chorus] The trail goes cold where he once led, The echo fades; the words unsaid. No tears will fall; no hearts will pine, A chapter closed, left undefined.

Verse 1 I’m trying to get over you But nothing works no matter what I do Tonight I’m hoping something gives But it’s like raising the dead and making it live Got my windows down cruisin in the wind Hoping I can clean up the mess I’m in Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow Verse 2 It ain’t like you didn’t tell me How you’d feel if I done you wrong But I didnt listen to what you said Now im putting the words into this song What I should of told you all along How much you mean to me Just wasn’t enough to not make you leave Cause my actions were louder And that’s what you see Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow Bridge I hope your doing better these days Found you a man who makes you wanna stay Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow

Verse 1)
Sunrise paintin' the lake gold, mist hangin' on the trees
Got my old hat pulled down low, feelin' that mornin' breeze
Truck's parked down by the river bend, coffee steamin' in my hand
Another day of castin' lines, in this promised land (Chorus)
Yeah, fishin' ain't just fishin', it's a medicine for the soul
Leavin' all my worries behind, lettin' the river take control
Got my grandpa's tackle box, and a memory in every lure
Out here chasin' silver flashes, 'til my hands are raw and sore (Verse 2)
Little bobber dancin' on the water, listenin' to the cicadas sing
Thinkin' 'bout my daddy's stories, and the lessons fishin' brings
Patience is a virtue, that's what he always said
But sometimes you gotta change your bait, or you'll wind up with nothin' instead (Chorus)
Yeah, fishin' ain't just fishin', it's a medicine for the soul
Leavin' all my worries behind, lettin' the river take control
Got my grandpa's tackle box, and a memory in every lure
Out here chasin' silver flashes, 'til my hands are raw and sore (Bridge)
Maybe I'll catch a trophy bast , maybe just a little brim
But the size don't really matter, it's the peace I find within
This water holds a history, secrets whispered on the breeze
A connection to somethin' bigger, beneath these willow trees (Chorus)
Yeah, fishin' ain't just fishin', it's a medicine for the soul
Leavin' all my worries behind, lettin' the river take control
Got my grandpa's tackle box, and a memory in every lure
Out here chasin' silver flashes, 'til my hands are raw and sore
