Whatever Happened to Kindness lyrics

Verse 1
There are trolls living under Facebook’s bridge
That’s the beast they want to encourage
Angry posts get the biggest reaction
and happy posts don’t get any traction
Also Twitter may be even worse
Anger and hate are free expressions curse
Is this just the price we pay
for having social media in our lives today?

Chorus
Whatever happened to kindness?
Whatever happened to care?
Can we put this meanness behind us
and repair this state of affairs?

Verse 2
PT Barnum put it so well
underestimating our taste really does sell
Being outraged puts the blinders on
and sadly makes us susceptible to cons
Snake oils not just sold be Facebook
Politicians use the same old playbook
Scapegoating makes it all a bad guys fault
Can we bring all this anger and hate to a halt

Chorus

Bridge
If you look, there’s lots of good to be found
Concentrate on it and your heart will rebound
The burdens of life will be easier to bear
and you can live the life that you dare

Solo – Intro

The Silence is Deafening lyrics

Verse 1
He went off to war and came back changed
He’s moody and angry and acting strange
He seems like an animal that trapped in a cage
I’d say thank you for your service
but he makes me kinda nervous,… the silence is deafening

Verse 2
How do you help a man who simply won’t talk
Going off to war is a hard path to walk
Let’s hope we can find the key to unlock
the full measure of his pain
before there’s nothing that remains,… the silence is deafening

Verse 3
And now only the poor and hungry serve
and military families with traditions to preserve
We who never served get what we don’t deserve
a nation at peace at home
Here where the buffalo roam,… the silence is deafening

The silence is deafening

Sober Girl lyrics

Verse 1
She was the life of any party
and she drove like a Ferrari
She was such a happy drunk
but she was no longer young
The next day was hard to bear
and at times she got scared
Her life was taking a toll
and she was not in control

Verse 2
Then once after a wee hour puke
Her retrospection had her spooked
She knew she had to dry out
Sobriety she’d have to try out

Chorus
She resolved to become a sober girl
To take the steps and change her whole world
To get clean, to get free
of the burden of her dependency
She wants to be a sober girl

Verse 3
Her mental fog has cleared
and she’s happier than she can believe
She sleeps now so much better
and her pain is gone forever

Pre-Chorus
She’s healthy and happy and wide awake
Thanks to the steps she resolved to take

Chorus

Twelve step solo

Pre-Chorus
She’s healthy and happy and wide awake
Thanks to the steps she resolved to take

Final Chorus
She wants to stay a sober girl
She took the steps and changed her whole world
She got clean, She got free
of the burden of her dependency
She wants to stay a sober girl

Shadow Work lyrics

Verse 1
Sometimes I feel like an old car
With design flaws, deferred maintenance and dents
And dealing with all these problems would be so hard
I wonder if that makes any sense
But you know I can’t trade myself in
I gotta take a hard look at my sins

Chorus
Shadow work
is the digging into what lurks
In the shadows of your heart
it’s hard work but it’s smart

Verse 2
Lately this old car has been in the shop
Something broke and it just needed fixing
An old problem wasn’t going to be stopped
without out some serious in depth evicting
Fact is I don’t need a new ride
But this is something I just cannot let slide

Chorus

Bridge
I’ve heard the payoff can be huge
to clearing out the problems that are lurking
Where to start will be a tough thing to choose
But doing nothing is just not working

Final chorus 2x

People Come and Go lyrics

Verse 1
I was in ninth grade the first time a friend decided to depart
He took a lot of pills and yes, they stopped his heart
No one knew why he did it but his death hit me hard
It troubled me he could so easily, his life discard

Chorus
People come and go
We love those we get to know
Sometimes people depart
and they take a piece of our heart
Sometimes people leave
They leave the rest of us to grieve
Sometimes people stay
but we don’t appreciate when it works out that way
‘Cause it’s just another day
that we should be thankful for
We should be thankful for each day

Verse 2
I was just seventeen When my Mom first got sick
She fought her illness through the thin and the thick
But cancer is seldom a death that’s quick or easy
It took three years for her to go with Jesus

Chorus

Verse 3
And by the time that I had reached the age of 24
That curse of suicide had taken three more
Of my friends who chose to go out that door
It made me wonder what I could have done to support them

Final Chorus

We should be thankful for each day

Peaceful Home for my Heart lyrics

Verse 1
It’s been twelve long years since my divorce
In that time I’ve had relationships of course
You’re the only girl I’ve invited to live in my home
The only girl who could tempt me from my life alone

Chorus
I’ve found a peaceful home for my heart
I’ve found a peaceful home for my heart
I’ve found a peaceful home for my heart
Now our lives will entwine
as our love is combined
in a peaceful home for our hearts

Verse 2
You keep asking if I know what I’m getting into
Should I be afraid of some feminine voodoo?
The accoutrements of a woman don’t scare me much
My life needs a woman’s touch

Chorus

Bridge
I’d been looking high and low
Funny thing first date I almost didn’t show
And it was not love at first sight
But in time you’ve become a delight

Final Chorus
