He was a good kid He ain't done nothing wrong Worked hard Got them good grades Tried to get along The nerd, the geek the dweeb Whatever word you wanna use Good head on his shoulders Bright future nothing to lose Then one night, one night His whole world came crashing down Left his head spinning round He said daddy, oh daddy I think I might be gay Kicked out, sent on his way He's out there on the road Thumb up in the air Not knowing where he's going to Not knowing if he cares Barely sixteen forced to be on his own It's cold and dark He's scared to death He doesn't want to be alone He's done things He's not proud of just to have a meal He's danced for money Sold his body Until he no longer feels One night as he was walking home A car went flying past A man hung out the window Shooting him in the chest He slumped down to the ground Fearing his next breath Praying he wouldn't die He lifted his head to the sky He called out father, dear father in heaven If you can hear me There must be a better plan for who I am to be He's out there on the road Clinging on to life Ambulance pulls up Paramedic says son you'll be alright He just turned seventeen Forced to be on his own It's cold and dark He's scared to death He don't want to die alone A nurse at the hospital Called his aunt in Tennessee She crashed through the door Saying your coming home with me It took seven months Until he felt like himself again He spent most days on the porch talking to aunt Lynn Thank you for letting me stay Your kindness I'll repay I'll be a better kid The man my dad would want me to be She grabbed his hand You listen to me Billy, sweet Billy There's nothing wrong with you How do I ease your mind Make you see the truth That who you are Is who you're supposed to be And who you are is alright with me He's out there in the field Driving the tractor around He has his first boyfriend Needs to clean up Head to town He's eighteen Finally has a place to call home Aunt Lynn gets him ready for prom Hugs him And says you'll never be alone

हे प्रभु, हमारी शरण तू, हर पीढ़ी का सहारा। सृष्टि से पहले तू था यहाँ, अनादि से अनंत तक बस तू ही हमारा। तेरी महानता, तेरा आलोक, हर युग में तू ही आधार, हे प्रभु, हमारी शरण तू, हर पीढ़ी का सहारा। मनुष्य को तू मिट्टी में लौटाए, कहे, “लौट आओ सब।” हज़ार वर्ष तेरी दृष्टि में ऐसे, जैसे बीता कल। जैसे घास सुबह को फूले, शाम होते ही मुरझाए। हम क्षणिक जीवन को समझ सकें, प्रभु तू हमें राह दिखाए। तेरे क्रोध से हम भयभीत हैं, तेरे क्रोध से नष्ट हो जाएँ। तेरी रोशनी में हर पाप खुल जाए, छिपी बातें सब प्रकट हो जाएँ। हमारे दिन बीतें आँसुओं संग, साल कटे भारी बोझ संग। सत्तर-अस्सी वर्षों का गर्व हो, पर दुख ही अंतिम संगी हो। हे प्रभु, लौट आ अब हम पर, अपनी दया से हमें भर दे। करूणा की सुबह से हमें भर दे, आनंद और सुख हमें हर पल दे। जितने दुःख देखे इन आँखों ने, उतने ही सुख तू अब हमें दे। तेरे कार्य का प्रताप रहे, हमारे हाथों को सफल कर दे। हे प्रभु, हमारे जीवन का तू आधार, हमारे हर कर्म में हो तेरा प्यार। हर दिन हो तेरा आशीर्वाद साथ, तेरी कृपा से जीवन हो शांत और सरल।
[Verse] Miss Monkey sits alone tonight Eyes heavy Heart contrite Mr. Chicken snores by her side But peace won't on her abide [Verse 2] She sees the moon The stars above Misses the warmth of snuggled love Her mind in restless churn and reel Tired But sleep she cannot feel [Chorus] Oh Mr. Chicken Dream so deep While poor Miss Monkey yearns for sleep If only arms could find their way Her restless heart at ease would lay [Verse 3] She counts each cluck And breath so low Wishing rest would start to flow But shadows dance And thoughts collide In whispers of the night She hides [Verse 4] The hours pass The night remains Her tired eyes reflect the strain With every snore She hopes anew That morning brings a love so true [Bridge] Silent prayers in night's embrace To find the sleep within his grace Miss Monkey’s heart So faint and sore Longs for dreams to stir once more
[Verse] Sleep little one the night is near Stars are softly whisperin' dear Close your eyes and drift away Till the dawn brings a new day [Verse 2] Moonlight dances on your cheek Dreams are waiting take a peek Angels sing in gentle rhyme Cradling you till morning time [Chorus] Fly on dreams where magic's real In a land of silk and teal Rest your head on clouds so bright Safe and warm till morning light [Verse 3] Whispers of the evening breeze Lull you softly put you at ease Tickle toes of golden sand Hold you close with tender hands [Verse 4] In the meadow flowers bloom Soft and sweet with a perfume Butterflies in gentle flight Guard you through the peaceful night [Chorus] Fly on dreams where magic's real In a land of silk and teal Rest your head on clouds so bright Safe and warm till morning light
[Verse] Empty rooms and silent cries Memories of long goodbyes Shadows moving through the night Fading love and stolen light [Verse 2] Your voice echoes in the wind Soft reminders where we've been Lonely nights and distant calls Paint the pictures on the walls [Chorus] Love that burned like paper flames Left us standing in the rain Hearts apart and paths unknown Each of us now on our own [Verse 3] Footsteps fade in morning mist Traces of the ones we've missed Whispers in the lonesome air Two hearts broken beyond repair [Bridge] Stars that shine then disappear Love once close now far not near Silent tears and quiet screams Lost in echoing Fragile dreams [Chorus] Love that burned like paper flames Left us standing in the rain Hearts apart and paths unknown Each of us now on our own
[Verse] In the night so calm and deep Where the stars begin to weep Close your eyes and drift away In a bed of dreams you'll stay [Verse 2] Whispers through the silent room Soft as petals in full bloom Moonlight dances on your bed Guiding you where dreams are spread [Chorus] Hush now little one just rest In the world where dreams are blessed Angels watch you from above Wrapped in endless waves of love [Verse 3] Sleep beneath the velvet sky Where the gentle breezes sigh Every twinkle every light Keeps you safe throughout the night [Bridge] Dreams of castles in the air Floating high without a care Magic gardens fairies sing Let your heart take flight on wing [Chorus] Hush now little one just rest In the world where dreams are blessed Angels watch you from above Wrapped in endless waves of love
[Verse] Watch the air the silent space People talking in a loud embrace I hear the words that sting like fire The rest drift off like a soft choir [Verse 2] Know the steps the rhythm the role Quietly tread on a well-worn soul Eyes wide open but no words to say Listening close as they drift away [Chorus] Silent spaces in a noisy crowd Whispers soft but their message loud Hear the pain that they often share In the quiet watch the air [Bridge] In a world of chatter and empty noise Find the signal lost in all the voice Heart beats slow with an ancient grace Navigating this silent space [Verse 3] Catch the words that mean the most Echoes fade like an unseen ghost Feel the weight in every phrase Unspoken truth in tangled maze [Chorus] Silent spaces in a noisy crowd Whispers soft but their message loud Hear the pain that they often share In the quiet watch the air
