Penny wise and pound foolish
Pinching out the cents
While coins clatter down behind in
Spiraling descents
From holes in your own pockets
Couldn’t bear the weight
They roll and spin in figure eights
Now that’s a pricey cheapskate

Ravines
Hidden traps to fall into
Hidden walls we can’t see through
Hidden facts we didn’t know
Hidden places we can’t go
Unseen forces fighting for us
Unseen strength to do what we must
Unseen faith and hope each day
Unseen light to guide the way

Playing Dirty
I saw you – I know what you did
Playing games with me like I was a kid
You think you tricked me, you think you got away
Well you got another thing coming today
Cause when you come knocking on my door
I won’t be around here no more
You can yell after me, call me names
But you’re the loser in your petty games

Unknown
What will happen if I let go?
Is it okay if I don’t know?
Will I see before it’s too late?
Will I lose out if I wait?
How can I survive this change?
What happens when life’s rearranged?
Will I lose the things I need?
Will I know how to succeed?
How can I keep myself on track?
How can I keep from looking back?
Will I know how to make it through?
Can I be strong and wise and true?

Break Through
Today I doubt, today I cry
I look for answers I can’t find
I ask why is this suffering – why
Do we just fall further behind
Tomorrow I will try again
Tomorrow could be better, sure
I believe we still will win
All we can do now is endure
I cry for help, to see, to know
The answers to show us the way
To set us free from this great foe
Break through the night to light of day

Mixed Up
My thoughts are such a jumble
They rattle, spin and tumble
The words I thought I said
Mean something else instead
The feelings that I’m feeling
Are trapped by a glass ceiling
And when I try to write
The words I want take flight
My life is so unknown right now
We will get through, I’m not sure how
My plans rock back and forth each day
I know that there will be a way
I don’t have to know it all
Or get it right on every call
I’m not alone out in this stream
And I know I can trust our team
