I’ve been running from the ghosts that keep calling my name, Chasing smoke and whiskey just to numb the pain. The wheels keep spinning but the road don’t end, I’ve burned every bridge just to build them again. And there’s a fire in my chest that I can’t outrun, A storm on the horizon where the westward sun. Run like the river, wild and free, With the wind at my back and the past chasing me. Every scar, every mile, every song I’ve sung, A story of a life lived on the run. Oh, I’ll keep moving, ‘til my heart beats still, Run like the river, I always will.

[Verse 1] My actions, my words, they’re tangled inside, Expectations I know I shouldn’t hide. I feel like I’m losing at everything I do, And my biggest fear is losing you. I’m not saying this to make you feel bad, I just need you to know the thoughts I’ve had. I feel like a failure, a step behind, Haunted by doubts that play in my mind. [Chorus] I’m scared I’m not enough— Not strong, not kind, not worthy of love. This voice in my head tells me I’ll break, That one day you’ll leave, and I won’t wake. But deep down, I’m fighting to believe, That your love is something I can receive. [Verse 2] When you’re with me, I start to doubt, Are you here for me, or are you just feeling out? Every moment feels like a test to pass, Insecurity’s shadow, it moves so fast. When you don’t laugh, when you pull away, I take it to heart, like you’ve nothing to say. But it’s not your fault, it’s all in my mind, A battle I fight, trying to leave it behind. [Chorus] I’m scared I’m not enough— Not strong, not kind, not worthy of love. This voice in my head tells me I’ll break, That one day you’ll leave, and I won’t wake. But deep down, I’m fighting to believe, That your love is something I can receive. [Bridge] You ease my heart in ways I’ve never known, A comfort and peace I’ve never been shown. But the child in me hides, afraid of the pain, Trying to unlearn the lies I’ve ingrained. When you stay, when you care, it’s a light I chase, But I worry I’ll push too hard, lose my place. It’s not something I can erase overnight, But with time, I’ll find my way to the light. [Chorus] I’m scared I’m not enough— Not strong, not kind, not worthy of love. This voice in my head tells me I’ll break, That one day you’ll leave, and I won’t wake. But deep down, I’m fighting to believe, That your love is something I can receive. [Outro] I’m learning, I’m healing, I’m finding my way, Your love helps the fear fade away. I can’t change it all, but I hope you’ll see, I’m trying to love myself the way you love me.
Verse 1 In the quiet of the night, when the world feels still, I hear the whispers of dreams, calling out my will. With every step I take, I’m breaking through the dark, A fire in my heart, igniting that spark. Chorus I’m chasing stars, across the endless sky, With every wish I make, I’m learning how to fly. No more holding back, I’m ready to ignite, I’m chasing stars, and I’ll shine so bright. Verse 2 Through the storms and shadows, I’ll find my way, With the light of hope guiding me each day. I’ll dance with the moon, and I’ll sing with the breeze, In this journey of life, I’ll do just as I please. Chorus I’m chasing stars, across the endless sky, With every wish I make, I’m learning how to fly. No more holding back, I’m ready to ignite, I’m chasing stars, and I’ll shine so bright. Bridge And when the night is over, and the dawn breaks free, I’ll carry all my dreams, they’re a part of me. With every heartbeat, I’ll rise above the fear, In this dance of life, I’ll always persevere. Chorus I’m chasing stars, across the endless sky, With every wish I make, I’m learning how to fly. No more holding back, I’m ready to ignite, I’m chasing stars, and I’ll shine so bright. Outro So here I stand, with my arms open wide, Embracing all the magic that the universe provides. I’m chasing stars, and I’ll never lose sight, In this beautiful journey, I’ll always find light.

[Verse] Dinner's on the table hearts so full and bright Stories spin around us in the soft twilight Laughter echoes in the halls a love so strong In this little house we know we all belong [Verse 2] Morning light filters in waking sleepy eyes Sunrise paints the skyline with a sweet surprise Coffee brews the day begins with cheerful noise In this life together we’ve made our choice [Chorus] Family ties that bind us tight Through the dark and through the light Hand in hand we’ll face the fight Family always feels so right [Verse 3] Children playing in the yard with dreams so wide Parents standing watchful with that twinkle-eyed pride Memories of yesterday etched in our minds In every corner love’s what you will find [Bridge] When the storms gather and the nights grow cold We lean on each other till the dawn unfolds Hearts woven together unbreakable gold In family’s arms we are bold [Verse 4] Even when the miles stretch across the land We find a way to bridge them hand in hand Seasons change and moments fade yet still we stand Together forever part of this grand plan

[Verse 1] Snow fell softly on that old dirt road, Grandpa's laughter as the fire glowed, Mama's cooking filled our little home, In a night that felt like we weren't alone. [Verse 2] Kids were playing by the Christmas tree, Handmade ornaments for all to see, Daddy's guitar strummed a simple tune, As we waited for the midnight moon. [Chorus] It's a Christmas miracle, a small-town delight, Family gathered under the stars so bright, Love in our hearts, peace in our souls, In a winter wonder that makes us whole. [Verse 3] Stepping outside, we breathed in the air, Frost on the windows, love everywhere, Neighbors waved and wished us well, In a night where magic dwells. [Verse 4] Candles lit on the windowsills, Whispers of hope in the December chills, Presents wrapped in paper and string, Little moments make our spirits sing. [Chorus] It's a Christmas miracle, a small-town delight, Family gathered under the stars so bright, Love in our hearts, peace in our souls, In a winter wonder that makes us whole.
[Instrumental]
[Verse] Rolling down the highway in my beat-up truck, Stars are out, but luck’s been struck. Stomach growls and we're low on cash, Time for a run, a hunger dash. [Verse 2] Pulled into the bright neon glow, Cravings hit, ain’t moving slow. Taco Bell with its promised delight, Under the moon, a shimmering light. [Chorus] Give me a chalupa and some nacho fries, Got the windows down, love in our eyes. A Baja Blast to share with you, Midnight drive-thru, our dreams come true. [Verse 3] Sitting at the window, hear that sizzle and fry, Smell the spices as they waft and fly. From cheesy gorditas to beefy fives, Taco Bell’s magic, oh how it thrives. [Bridge] Crunch wrap's warmth in an open hand, Together we feast on this hunger land. Every bite whispers tales of the night, In this parking lot, we hold on tight. [Chorus] Give me a chalupa and some nacho fries, Got the windows down, love in our eyes. A Baja Blast to share with you, Midnight drive-thru, our dreams come true.
[Verse] Gazing at the midnight sky Stars above me wink and sigh Whispers weave through night so deep Dreams we promise hearts to keep [Verse 2] Walking on a cobbled street Echoes of our hearts that beat Softly singing love's old tune Chasing shadows of the moon [Chorus] Under the moonlight we feel alive Each glance a story wild and bright Together we face the endless night With you my heart is free in flight [Verse 3] Sandy shores and ocean's song Waves that crash where we belong Hand in hand we face the dawn Stronger now Forever drawn [Bridge] Every touch a silent vow In the breeze let's linger now Time can wait We've found our way In your arms I wish to stay [Chorus] Under the moonlight we feel alive Each glance a story wild and bright Together we face the endless night With you my heart is free in flight
