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 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 02:40
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 01:28
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…”
