Dreams
03:06

I don’t want you to miss this
We’ve been all staring at the dark abyss
Open wide-eyed, maybe two
I don’t want you to miss this, dreams coming true!
We’ve been watching TV
To see how we should feel
And I feel fine, fine today
And every day
Yeah, I feel…fine
Today and every day.
We’ve been watching TV
To see how we should feel
And I feel fine, fine, fine today
(Told ya once, I told ya twice, I can’t get enough of life)

Standing in the hands of my Jesus
Waiting for the world to change
Federated States of Micronesia
Just off the coast of Indonesia
Dying in the hands of Jesus
Watching the world go round
And I’m gonna go to Australia
Wondering how, I’ll tell ya
Cause I’ve got a vision and a plan
I know how deep the water is where I stand
Here in the hands of Jesus
Federated States of Micronesia

Heavy Hand
01:53
|
|||
Such a heavy hand to hold!
Such a heavy hand to fold
Putting people in boxes
Doesn’t work for me anymore
Isn’t worth it anymore
And I hope you’ll retain that person you are
Wherever, wherever, wherever
So many habits to break!
It’s the worst until it breaks.

I Died Last Year
03:15
|
|||
I died last year
Put to rest, my old self
I found peace within
Laid to rest, all the good things
I died last year, to myself
I found peace within, death
I am the last one
I am often the only one
I am nothing but Nicky B
And it’s all I can be
It’s all I will be
It’s all I wanna be anymore.
So I died last year, and today
And every day that I make mistakes.
So I’m dying here, every day to myself
To make room, to make peace, to be.
(I died to myself!)

One day I‘ll get to heaven
If I’m not already there now
And I’ll see what it is I was missing out on
And up there, maybe I’ll be able to tell the truth
All the time
The truth, all the time, some other way, inside!
And up there, there’s a place where I can rest
Sometimes I wonder if my whole life’s been a test!
Up there, in the sky
Out there, I find
The tools, to go
To get it right.
To get it right!
Great God, have mercy on my soul!
Ya say you feel it all the time
Ya say you feel it all the time

Silent Birds

I have the power to change my life.
I set my terms.
I am not afraid of change.
I can only be me.
No one else will live my life for me.
I have to make choices for myself that are sustainable.
I won’t always feel this way.
I have a choice in what I do to make myself feel better.
I can choose to react or to respond to a situation.
I need to take care of myself.
Other people‘s behavior does not necessarily reflect on something that I have or haven’t done or have or haven’t done correctly.
Other people‘s behavior towards me may not have anything to do with me or what I have done.
I am empowered when I shift my perspective and focus on the positive things in my life.
I have a choice in what I will tolerate.
If I can approach life with a positive perspective, I can move forward confidently.
Just because I put up with something in the past does not mean I need to continue to do so.
If I feel strongly about some thing, I should consider what I should do about it, if anything.
Worrying about something does not do anything.
If 10-year-old me saw the life I live and what I have accomplished, they would freak out.
I am capable of making choices that will benefit me and align with my goals.
I can feel and think things without becoming them or letting them overwhelm me.
I am free to be myself and other people’s acceptance of me does not change who I am.
I can choose to live my life or I can choose to live someone else’s.
I don’t need unnecessary stress in my life.
I am valuable whether or not I do anything or not.
I can choose to live my life or to let other people live it for me.
All I have is the present moment. I cannot change the past and I cannot control the future.
Worrying does nothing.
There will always be unknown, and I can choose to fear it or accept it.
I don’t deserve to be treated poorly.
I don’t need to have an inflated sense of worth in order to know that I have value.
I have to check in with myself every day and make sure that I want to be doing the things that I am doing.
It is important that I listen to my heart and what it has to say to me.
I can choose to run away from my intuition or to trust it.
I am allowed to feel. I don’t need to apologize for feeling. I can’t control how I feel, but I can control how I respond to my feelings.
I don’t want to regret giving my time and energy to people who did not appreciate it or took advantage of me.
I have limited energy, time, and capacity.
Until I make concrete decisions for myself, I will inherently allow others to make decisions for me.
I am allowed to change my mind.
I am always healing, learning, and growing.
I have lived through over a year of a global pandemic, which is not over yet.
There are many many wonderful things for me to see in my life if I am willing to see them.

Sunday
Back in solitude
And all it took was
A look inside
A place to be
We can’t see
And it makes me happy.

The Coast
04:49
|
|||
Traveling, again
To the house on the coast
But how will I get there, without a road, to take me?
And it’s always in or out, not stay
For a little while, I hope you’ll stay
In the little house you made
On the coast.
I was driving, I was loving you, for the very first time.
I was driving, I was loving you, for the very first time!
Circle lines of your tree
Circling around me.
And I am not a straight line
I am never-ending!
And you are everything.
You are every…
Every motion I…
Every emotion I…know
Comes from!
A place I don’t know anymore.
I watch again from the shore, of your little house, on the coast.
I’ll be watching from the little house
I’ll watch from the coast.
I was driving, I was loving you for the very first time.
I was driving, I was loving you for the very first time.

What A Year
03:34
|
|||
What a year it’s been, now!
I can see it clearly
And all I wanted out of it.
What a year it’s been, now
I can see it dearly
I am amazed at life again!
And, what a friend I have!
It’s been a year!
What a year it’s been
And I’ve been
Waiting…
For the season to change,
For the sun to shine again…
And I can see it clearly now
And I can see it clearly now
And I can see it clearly now
Clearly now
“It’s okay to just step back and just breathe and relax and not feel like you gotta do everything and be all things to all people, all the time, so, take some time for yourself…”

Your Plan

If it is your plan
I put it in your hands
Help me understand
If it is your plan
