When the weight of the world is pressing down, And your weary heart can barely make a sound. When the night is long, and hope feels gone, Remember, you’re not walking this alone. Lift your eyes to where the light breaks through, In the quiet, He whispers peace to you. There’s peace beyond the storm, strength within the fight, Love that holds you close through the darkest night. Rest in His embrace, lay your burdens down, In the arms of grace, you’ll find solid ground. When the road ahead is shrouded and unclear, And every step is tangled up in fear. His promises stand, they won’t ever fade, Trust His steady hand through the waves. Breathe in deep, and know He holds your soul, In the chaos, He’s still in control. There’s peace beyond the storm, strength within the fight, Love that holds you close through the darkest night. Rest in His embrace, lay your burdens down, In the arms of grace, you’ll find solid ground. You are seen, you are known, in every tear you cry, His mercy flows like rivers, never running dry. Hold fast to His truth, let His comfort lead, In your deepest valley, He meets every need. There’s peace beyond the storm, strength within the fight, Love that holds you close through the darkest night. Rest in His embrace, lay your burdens down, In the arms of grace, you’ll find solid ground. When the storm has passed, and dawn brings light, His love remains, still holding you tight. Through every season, He’s faithful and true, In every trial, His peace carries you.
Where were you on the night of thunder? When hailstones covered the land When thunder jarred the earth asunder And struck fear in every cowhand? Dare to sleep if you will. There’s a rumble in the hills. The sound of thunder so chilling. It starts the herd milling. An old steer snorted. Then another got up Like rising from the dead A raging fire began to spread. A roar of a thousand trumpets An Erie glow descended. Like fingers of lights on horns A stampede is born. Like a snake coiled ready to strike Shield your eyes from the light. For the Fox Fire is here With vengeance tonight. Where were you on the night of thunder When hailstones covered the land When thunder jarred the earth asunder And struck fear in every cowhand? Don’t hesitate in the thicket of hell. Grip your reins and clutch your pommel. Forget the rain, hail, and dust. Shut your eyes if you must. Ride your pony for him you trust. He’s busting a gut to turn the tide. So, Cowboy do what you must To hell with Fox Fire Through rain, wind, dust, and mud The Stampede slows and all is calm Cookie offers a tin of coffee to the weary. But,l when it’s all said and done Those dam hides and horns those waddies still love. Where were you on the night of thunder When hailstones covered the land When thunder jarred the earth asunder And struck fear in every cowhand?
[Verse] We met where the trumpets sang so sweet, In the jazz band, where our shy glances meet. Middle school notes swayed us left and right, Who knew then, you'd be my guiding light? [Verse 2] Homework battles and late-night calls, High school dances, we faced it all. With band practice taking up our days, In those moments, love found its ways. [Chorus] Forever and always, you're my best friend, From middle school starts to where we now stand. Through all the years and endless night talks, We grew together through love's tender walks. [Verse 3] Strumming strings and tapping feet, Our hearts made a beat so bittersweet. Five years later, under the moon's soft arc, We're dancing together in the deepest dark. [Bridge] Rings on our fingers that tell our tale, From youthful dreams to a love that prevails. Side by side, we're stronger by far, Our love shines brighter than any star. [Chorus] Forever and always, you're my best friend, From middle school starts to where we now stand. Through all the years and endless night talks, We grew together through love's tender walks. Rings on our fingers that tell our tale, From youthful dreams to a love that prevails. Side by side, we're stronger by far, Our love shines brighter than any star. [Chorus] Forever and always, you're my best friend, From middle school starts to where we now stand. Through all the years and endless night talks, We grew together through love's tender walks.
Down in Mansfield, on a campus so bright, There’s Donna Hight, keeps the students in line, Dean of the school, got that boss lady grace, She runs the whole show with a smile on her face. But at night when she’s home, and the work day is done, She’s got a partner in crime, a love that’s second to none, It’s Alex Naples, her sweet McDonald’s wife, A 70s soul who’s lived a colorful life. Chorus Oh, Donna and Alex, they make the perfect pair, One’s a campus queen, the other’s a teacher who cares, With their love so strong, they can take on the world, One’s got the books, and the other’s got the curls. From the classroom to the fries, they’re always in sync, Two hearts beat together, faster than you’d think. Donna and Alex, oh what a story they write, Love’s got no rules, just a flame burning bright. Verse 2 Now Alex is a student, on the road to teach, Middle childhood dreams, she’s got that wisdom to reach, With a heart full of passion and a mind full of plans, She’s ready to shape the next generation of hands. But she don’t just work the counter, no, she’s got more to give, She teaches the kids the way she’s always lived, In a world full of change, love’s the thing that stays, Like a vinyl record spinning those sweet 70s days. Chorus Oh, Donna and Alex, they make the perfect pair, One’s a campus queen, the other’s a teacher who cares, With their love so strong, they can take on the world, One’s got the books, and the other’s got the curls. From the classroom to the fries, they’re always in sync, Two hearts beat together, faster than you’d think. Donna and Alex, oh what a story they write, Love’s got no rules, just a flame burning bright. Bridge In the small-town air, they’re a beacon of pride, No secrets to hide, just love on their side, From Mansfield to the drive-thru, they’re makin’ their mark, Like a sweet summer firefly lighting up the dark. Chorus Oh, Donna and Alex, they make the perfect pair, One’s a campus queen, the other’s a teacher who cares, With their love so strong, they can take on the world, One’s got the books, and the other’s got the curls. From the classroom to the fries, they’re always in sync, Two hearts beat together, faster than you’d think. Donna and Alex, oh what a story they write, Love’s got no rules, just a flame burning bright. Outro So here’s to the ladies, from the 70s to now, Teaching us all how to love anyhow, Donna and Alex, they stand proud and true, Showin’ the world love is always brand new.
[Verse] They call him Eddie the Gun out by the long cliff Dust in his boots no place for the swift In the corral where shadows sit still Gun fighting the slows with iron and will [Verse 2] Eddie's hand quick like a striking snake Whispers of legends by the still lake Tumbleweeds crawling the dusty terrain A heartbeat syncs with the clinking chain [Chorus] Eddie the Gun never misses his mark In the twilight dim or the noon stark Echoes of shots paint the evening red A tale of fate that cowboys dread [Verse 3] He faces the wind that bites like a knife Twilight's approaching compressing life Heads held down prayers in the air Eddie stands steady with a lion's glare [Chorus] Eddie the Gun never misses his mark In the twilight dim or the noon stark Echoes of shots paint the evening red A tale of fate that cowboys dread [Bridge] Years gone by stories still told Of Eddie the Gun and his heart of cold Lone star night and the desert's embrace No one's forgotten his solemn face
just another night under the stadium lights It’s been so long since we’ve been here this time it’s against the knights used to be every year… every year all the kids get outta school to watch the game where we put together a show like William Shakespeare hope one day I’ll be in the hall of fame Next to the greatest of all time
Eva’s Trots Songtekst [Verse 1] Eva loopt door de storm, het hoofd omhoog, Diepe dalen achter haar, zoveel wat ze verloor. Maar ze bouwde haar leven, plank voor plank, Een railsysteem van dromen, waar ze zelf voor dankt. [Pre-Chorus] Ze kijkt naar haar dochter, ziet haar eigen kracht, Een spiegel van hoop, die het leven verzacht. En naast haar, haar hondje, klein maar trouw, Hij geeft haar een reden, hij houdt van haar jou. [Chorus] Eva’s trots, een vuur dat brandt, Een strijd van het hart, met kracht in haar hand. Haar dochter, haar ster, haar hondje dichtbij, Ze reist door het leven, vrij en zij aan zij. [Verse 2] De wegen waren krom, het pad zo zwaar, Maar ze bleef altijd vechten, met een blik zo klaar. Haar verleden mag fluisteren, ze luistert niet meer, Ze kijkt naar de toekomst, voelt de zon steeds weer. [Pre-Chorus] Elke stap een overwinning, elke traan een les, Eva bouwt haar wereld, steen voor steen met succes. En haar hondje, zo klein, maar een grote vriend, Een sprankje licht in het donker, waar hij altijd dient. [Chorus] Eva’s trots, een vuur dat brandt, Een strijd van het hart, met kracht in haar hand. Haar dochter, haar ster, haar hondje dichtbij, Ze reist door het leven, vrij en zij aan zij. [Bridge] Geen berg te hoog, geen dal te diep, Ze hield zich vast aan wat ze lief. Een moeder, een vechter, een vrouw met een plan, Eva schrijft haar verhaal, met haar eigen hand. [Chorus] Eva’s trots, een vuur dat brandt, Een strijd van het hart, met kracht in haar hand. Haar dochter, haar ster, haar hondje dichtbij, Ze reist door het leven, vrij en zij aan zij. [Outro] Eva kijkt naar voren, haar blik zo vrij, Met haar dochter en hondje aan haar zij. Een leven vol liefde, ondanks de pijn, Eva’s trots zal altijd bij haar zijn.
The Fire once filled me It could now be extinguished I'll never see another day Where I see my future And I will live my life I got nothing to lose And I'll never feel the shame No matter what you do You'll never take my place But maybe you were wrong You'll never feel ashamed You didn't know my name Till I was gone And you never felt a thing Now I'm just a memory All my dreams come true Because of what you have done My soul may carry on never feel again Never will I feel this way Never have a chance again And never will I say goodbye
I draw lines and mark where the rivers should bend And trace out the roads that I'll never descend A paper ocean, wrinkles and waves Godlike intentions, but frozen in place I chart constellations, connecting the stars A galaxy born, as the ink leaves a mark The compass spins, but I’m stuck on this page Set sail without movement, drifting in place A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true I paint the shadows where the mountains once stood And sketch every path that I’ll never pursue A paper sky, the colors don’t blend Lacking intention, a goal, or a plan I’ve thought up journeys, a million so far Though I’ve traced every line, there’s no path to embark The ink dries slowly, it never runs out A journey in drawings, but no steps to count A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true These maps are a prison I created myself I choose to stand still with no story to tell A paper-thin world that easily tares With intricate roads that lead me nowhere A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true
