Samuel Braden

Life gets rough, but just stay bold.
Too much pressure and too much pain.
Seems like the roads we walk are getting old.
Starts to drive us all insane.
...

There is this feeling that is so hard to describe
This feeling is for you and it is deep inside
I get it when you're on my mind or in my sight
I even feel it as dream of you when I sleep at night
...

You leaned in to say something in my ear
It was about your feelings towards me held dear
You told me a secret that you wish I'd share
For me to whisper back in your ear would only be fair…
...

There is a fire that is burning deep in my soul
Searching for the 'right one' is its only goal
Craving a perfect bond is why it seeks
When that special ones around the fire starts to peak
...

I want to tell her but I don't know how
For the longest time I felt like I broke a vow
Tried to patch it up, but messed that up too
I became lost, hurt and very confused
...

LIFE is full of surprises and every one of them is a blessing
Stop and look around to count yours to see what you're missing
When I finally stopped I had the greatest revelation
We all have so many things to be grateful for in this nation
...

What is this warmth?
It's bubbling slowly within me,
My heart seems to beat faster
And suddenly the temperature
...

When I get done with my life all I want is to feel blessed
I want others to know I tried to make them happy and nothing less
I want to know I accomplished everything I set out to do
I want to know I did everything I could to please all including you
...

I had a kind of weird dream last night
It was not one that would wake you up in fright
I looked up and saw angel come out of the sky
Held the key to my heart, and wiped a tear from my eye
...

Life moves fast and sometimes we don't wait
Then we get the end and stand at heaven's gate
We look back on our past and what we have done
Standing and waiting for the judgment of THE ONE
...

I am a warrior from head to toe
And from heart to soul
I was born ready to fight
My fists move at the speed of light
...

The binds around my wrist and the shackles on my feet
Your judgment of me is still incomplete
If you all only knew the real me
I'm not the front cover of my book that you all see
...

Sitting in this empty house again feels like I'm choking
But as I grab my chest I can tell that only broken
I used have that fire in my heart and the passion in my eyes
But now I just sit here under the truth of all the lies
...

People make mistakes every second of their lives.
It's a complete wonder how we are still alive.
Hatred plagues this very nation we stand on.
Does anyone know where we've gone wrong?
...

What is this strange courage I've suddenly got?
I guess her beauty got me off my train of thought
As soon as I saw her my stomach got put in a not
I got a million butterflies as soon as I saw her close up
...

So last night I couldn't sleep the whole time
I kept seeing this angelic girls face in my mind
This is the same girl I just confessed how I feel
She got my head spinning like a wheel
...

It is my choice to hold this and keep as long as I can
Having this with me does not make me less a man
I can still do all the things that you do and have fun
As long as I don't jeopardize my wait for the one
...

Life has been getting hard with all these trials and tribulations
I thank God for each of my friends to help me through these situations
Without them, what they have done, and the love they give me
I would have never been able to break all these chains and be free
...

Jesus is real and he is the way, truth, and the light
He watches over us so we can sleep through the night
His guardian angels protect and make sure we're well
God's goal is to save our soul and keep us out of hell
...

I looked around at the everyday faces today
Normally I would keep walking and be on my way
But today was different than it would normally be
As each face past I felt as if they were talking to me
