Tears of grace

Woke up this morning, new day to start, A world full of dreams, it's time to play our part. Books in our hands and hearts full of fire, We’ve got the power to reach higher and higher! Every lesson we learn is a step on the way, Taking it one day at a time, we’ll be okay. Through the struggles and the grind, we will shine, Together, we’ll climb, one moment at a time. Rise and shine, the world’s yours to find, Every challenge, every test, we’ll leave it behind. With hope in our hearts, and dreams in our eyes, We’ll keep on going, we’ll reach for the skies! Rise and shine, the future’s so bright, Step into the day, and make it your light! A little bit of patience, a lot of heart, We’ve got the courage to finish what we start. There’s magic in learning, there’s power in dreams, Together we’ll make this journey gleam. Every challenge we face, we will rise above, With kindness, and strength, and endless love. Through every test, we’ll keep on pushing through, The world is waiting, and it’s calling you. Rise and shine, the world’s yours to find, Every challenge, every test, we’ll leave it behind. With hope in our hearts, and dreams in our eyes, We’ll keep on going, we’ll reach for the skies! Rise and shine, the future’s so bright, Step into the day, and make it your light! It’s not about the race, it’s about the ride, We’ll walk it together, side by side. There’s no mountain too high, no dream too far, With every step, you’re a shining star. Rise and shine, the world’s yours to find, Every challenge, every test, we’ll leave it behind. With hope in our hearts, and dreams in our eyes, We’ll keep on going, we’ll reach for the skies! Rise and shine, the future’s so bright, Step into the day, and make it your light! Rise and shine, oh, rise and shine, The world’s yours, it’s your time. Rise and shine, together we’ll climb, With hearts full of hope, we’ll always shine.

It started with a spark, a glance, a fleeting smile, Thought I found my truth, but I was lost in denial. Caught up in the glow, your world became my light, But chasing shadows ain't never made the dark bright. I gave you my heart, but you never took hold, The warmth I was feeling was your ice turning cold. I built us a dream on a fragile foundation, But love one-sided is a lonely creation. I’m losing myself, piece by piece, every day, Love’s a weight on my shoulders, dragging me away. Gotta break these chains, let this false hope go, To find my soul again, let my happiness grow. Your laughter was a melody I played on repeat, Thought I was winning, but I was stuck in defeat. Every word you spoke, I read too deep, Stayed awake all night while you drifted to sleep. Caught in a trance, chasing love’s illusion, Blurred my reality, drowned in confusion. Tried to fix what was never really broke, It’s hard to wake up when you breathe in the smoke. I’m losing myself, piece by piece, every day, Love’s a weight on my shoulders, dragging me away. Gotta break these chains, let this false hope go, To find my soul again, let my happiness grow. A moment of silence, I hear my heart scream, This ain’t the kind of love I deserve in my dream. I was a prisoner, but I’m holding the key, No more loving you, it’s time to love me. Climbing out the hole, I see the sun rise, Wiping off the tears from my weary eyes. Letting go ain’t weak, it’s finding my power, A new dawn begins at the end of this hour. I’m finding myself, piece by piece, every day, Left the weight of your love, now I’m on my way. I broke the chains, let that false hope go, And now my soul is free, let my happiness show.

Back in the day, we ran so wild, Young and reckless, hearts like fire. Late-night walks in hometown streets, Never thought time would move this fast on me. But here we stand, a little gray, Laugh lines show the price we paid. Through every turn, through every sin, Still got your back, still got that grin. Now we’re brothers in our 40s, still standing tall, We’ve seen some wins, we’ve had some falls. Life keeps changing, but one thing’s true, No matter what, I’ve got you. Built our lives, got scars to show, Lessons learned, still room to grow. Kids and work, responsibilities stack high, But some things money just can’t buy. Through the years, through thick and thin, We’ve lost some, but we still stand. No road too long, no dream too late, Still got time to celebrate. Now we’re brothers in our 40s, still standing tall, We’ve seen some wins, we’ve had some falls. Life keeps changing, but one thing’s true, No matter what, I’ve got you. (Love my brother) You are better at golf ya better boast. Just like folks knowledge to make bread toast. Here’s to the days still yet to come, Ain’t slowing down, we’re not done. (no need for booze to have fun) Brothers in our 40s, the story goes on, Still laughing, still strong. Through every high, through every low, Side by side, we’ll always go. (happy birthday to my bro) 44 is the new 23. Love ya brother forever. Forever more. Until i'm unable to.. stand when I pee. Happy 44 My bro is getting older Houston aint getting colder. Happy birthday Miho (Forty Four) Halfway to sanity. 88 Miles Per Hour To the past, to the future, to now.

[Verse 1 – Male Voice] Waking up with the sun in my eyes, Laze around, don’t need no disguise. Got my shades on, yeah, I’m looking fine, Kick back, smoke a little, life’s mine to unwind. [Chorus – Male Voice] They call me Barbie with the style and grace, Pink suits, bright shoes, I’m owning the place. Life’s a game, and I play it so smooth, Got charm in my pocket, ready to groove. [Verse 2 – Male Voice] Hook up, hang out, no strings attached, Living life easy, got no time to match. But deep down, I’ve got more to prove, A lawyer in the making, I’ve got the move. [Chorus – Male Voice] They call me Barbie with the style and grace, Pink suits, bright shoes, I’m owning the place. Life’s a game, and I play it so smooth, Got charm in my pocket, ready to groove. [Bridge – Male Voice] But when the gavel falls, I rise, Sharp as a blade, catching the lies. From laid-back days to courtroom scenes, I’m playing my role, chasing my dreams. [Chorus – Male Voice] They call me Barbie with the style and grace, Pink suits, bright shoes, I’m owning the place. Life’s a game, and I play it so smooth, Got charm in my pocket, ready to groove. [Outro – Male Voice] Pretty in pink, but I stand tall, The courtroom’s where I answer the call. Life’s no joke, but I’ll still play, Got brains, got style, I’m here to stay.

[Instrumental]

**Verse 1:** Be clear and concise, cut through the noise, Frontload the message—let purpose be your choice. No need to twist it, just say what you mean, A win-win situation starts where intentions are seen. **Pre-Chorus:** Skip the jargon, drop the fluff, Plain English is more than enough. A clear subject line lets your purpose show. Bullet points and tables—organize the flow. **Chorus:** Write to connect, write to engage, The “you” approach sets the stage. Seek common grounds, let goodwill lead, Find shared wins—that’s agreed! We’re building bridges, not walls, Effective words make the tallest halls! **Verse 2:** Maintain a positive tone, let respect take the stage, Even in conflict, cool it down with the page. Solutions take root when you work hand in hand, A partnership grows on truth’s solid stand. **Bridge:** Break it down, make it lean Frame it tight, sharp and clean. Serve their needs, not your own Trust becomes the cornerstone! **Chorus (Reprise):** Write to connect, write to engage, The “you” approach sets the stage. Seek common grounds, let goodwill lead, Find shared wins—that’s agreed! We’re building bridges, not walls, Effective words make the tallest halls! **Outro:** Win-win woven, line by line, Clarity’s the golden design. In every email and letter you send, Words aren’t just tools—they’re how we transcend!
