My strength! !

Find a hook, find a rock,
Anything to hold onto,
Don't let go and hold on tight,
And you'll get through it with them.

When darkness feels all around,
Mum's scowl making me shiver and cry,
I cling to my rock, my strength,
My Dad's love inside.

Find your strength, whatever it may be,
For me it was Him, who will yours be?
Confidence? Brother? Sister? Friend?
There is someone, they are in front of you!

Let your rock, your strength hold you high,
Let it all out to them and let out the pain,
My Strength is my Dad, the love he always gave,
With my inner flame, saved me from the grave.

Little girl, little girl! !

Little girl, little girl,
Hiding in the cuboard.
Clutching Mr. Teddy.
Little girl, little girl,
They know you're in there,
You cannot hide forever.

You've heard the screams,
You've heard the threats,
The whole show like a radio
Now the final scene comes.

You heard the plates go 'smash'
And you heard the doors slamm
You see the blood run under the door.
They're looking for you, little girl,
Stay still, stay very very still.

Little girl, little girl,
It's safe to come out now.

Smile! !

smile for the good things in life
smile for your health
smile for your friends
and smile for your wealth

smile for the roof over your head
smile for your looks
smile for your free education
smile for all those books! !

be happy about what you've got
be greatful
even if its not alot

shake off those worries
and dry those eyes
wipe away those tears
and that hatred inside

tell yourself you'll get through it

There's a girl in the mirror!

There's a girl in the mirror
Staring back at me
I don't even know who she is
But by heck! She's ugly

There's a girl in the mirror
Standing very still
She's pale and she looks afraid
I think she might be ill

There's a girl in the mirror
She'd never win a prize
She looks very depressed
You can tell it by her eyes

There's a girl in the mirror
Looks like she needs a friend
I don't have many myself
But I guesse my self I can lend

Prince Charming

Prince charming, who you told me you were.
You are Aladdin, you are Phillip,
You are the Beast's true form, you are Eric,
You are Cinderella's, you are Snow White's.
But really and always, your mine.
My Prince, my heart, and you belong to me.

Protect me when I am afraid,
In your arms keep me safe.
Show me the wonders of the world,
On your horse (or flash car) .
Blow me a kiss when the moon is high,
Caress and hold me when I sleep,
And dream of you, my Prince Charming

You're Arabian, you're from the Middle Ages,
You're English, you're French,
You're Itallian, you're sweetness dressed as fury,
But always, you are here, handsome Londoner,

Stereotyped! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

You say you don’t know me
Nah you don’t know me
All you know I am, is a lil sh*t on the streets
With my hood up, giving people beats

Yeah I’m part of that youth culture
“I was much better behaved when I was younger”
Yeah, you were perfect in your day
At least that’s what you portray

But then I live in a stereotypical country
I’m stereotyped as a teen bully
But I’m not gonna happy slap you
Cos me being a nasty sh*t, that’s untrue!

I’m part of that youth culture
But it don’t mean I’m gonna hurt ya
Yeah I’m a teenager
But I don’t have that bad behaviour

Nice things...

Shopping, dancing, eating sweets
Make up, laughter, juicy treats

Sun, sand, swimming in the sea
Coffee, hot chocolate, or even tea? !

Ice cream, chocolate, with lots of cream
Going to sleep and having a dream
Jumping on a trampoline!

Flirting, laughing, having fun
The smile on your face when all homework is done

That little tip tap knock on your door
Is it that boy you've been waiting for? !

Holidays, lipgloss, cute fluffly things
Teeny tiny fairies with teeny tiny wings

High heels, flip flops, sunglasses too!

Before you came! !

Before you came in my life I had no one to turn to
Or no one who really cared. But since you came
You’ve turned it all around by giving me the life
I never had and the one I’ve always wanted.

Before you came I always wanted to fly away
And leave the world behind, but since you came, you
Kept me going and all the people around me
Because now I believe there are people who do care and accept me for who I am.

Before you came I had no interest in education,
And just couldn’t be bothered to do any homework or assignments
Because of what I was going through, but since you came
I love studying and it’s the only thing that keeps me going if I’m down or sad
And my amazing music.

It is that time once again where I have to leave the support behind
But I’ll never forget you for changing my whole life around.

My soldier! ! !

You were my soldier
My safety net
You were my soul, my life, my everything
Why did this happen to you?
Everything was so perfect then the nightmare began

I guess you never realise, how much you love someone,
Until they're gone and they've faded away....

You were my soldier
My safety net
You were my soul, my life, my everything
Why did this happen to you?
Everything was so perfect then the nightmare began

And he's in the road
A car
The Brakes
A scream
And he's in the road

To every child! ! !

To every child who thinks about giving up......
DON'T
You may feel unwanted
You may feel unappreciated
Just remember..........
'Every child in every family has a role! ! '

To every child who thinks about running away.......
DON'T
You may feel neglected
You may feel ignored
Just remember..........
'Every child in every family has a role! ! '

To every child who thinks about ending it all........
DON'T
You may feel forgotten
You may feel lost
Just remember.............
'Every child in every family has a role! ! '
