Being Human

(Melanie Thompson)

Today, it seems like a majority of people are insistent that they are "little gods" or have the powers of "the gods". Myself, I never wanted to be a "god". I never wanted superpowers either. I have my five senses given to me, to you, to us, from God. They are enough. We human beings are quite remarkable just the way we are. Sure, there is always room for improvement. But just look at us. How far we have come. The way we have seemed to survive against all the odds. If you are one of those who wish to be as great as God or better. I hope this song will change your mind. I hope you see just how great you already are. And I hope you understand and believe in your heart that it is O.K. to be human.

Verse 1. Taste the waters. 
 Taste the wines. 
 Run in circles, 
 crooked lines. 
 Drunken faces 
 from time to time. 
 It's O.K. to be human. 

 Watch the fires 
 burning low. 
 Watch them rage. 
 Watch them grow. 
 Angry faces 
 from time to time. 
 It's O.K. to be human.

Chorus. I can't fly. 
 I can't see 
 through the walls 
 of destiny. 
 Can't control 
 a single soul 
 that's alive 
 truth be told. 
 But I can 
 hope and pray 
 every night 
 before I lay. 
 And I'm O.K. 
 (I'm O.K.) 
 with being human.

Verse 2. Take some earth 
 in your hands. 
 Build a life. 
 Raise some sand. 
 Dirty faces 
 from time to time. 
 It's O.K. to be human. 

 Breathe the air. 
 Breathe the sky. 
 If you can, 
 do what's right. 
 Lying faces 
 from time to time. 
 It's O.K. to be human.

Chorus. I can't fly. 
 I can't see 
 through the walls 
 of destiny. 
 Can't control 
 a single soul 
 that's alive 
 truth be told. 
 But I can 
 hope and pray 
 every night 
 before I lay. 
 And I'm O.K. 
 (I'm O.K.) 
 with being human.

 It's O.K.
 (God made us that way.)
 Being human.

Pick and Choose

By Melanie Thompson

When I wrote this song I was thinking about Frank Sinatra and that 50's swing style he mastered. I thought to myself, "What would Frank say if he found out that the woman he loved was cheating on him?". The genders were swithched. And, of course, some phrases. But, the sentiment, the message in the song sounds like him. At least, that was my goal. Sinatra was/is one of the greats. He would never allow anyone to disrespect him. Snap his fingers and you were gone. If he wanted you to "Pick and Choose" you did it. Just be glad he gave you until, "The end of the day". For Frank Sinatra.

The Tailor of My Life

By Melanie Thompson

I have learned that peace and happiness in this world are not so easily obtained. It takes effort and skill to manage life's daily stresses. It takes focus and determination to bring about success. Work, work, work and then work some more. Work on yourself. Work to become a better person. Work until you have accomplished your goals. These lyrics are about occupation. Rather, occupying yourself until you have become exactly what you wanted to be.

Psycho Girlfriend

By Melanie Thompson

Everyone on earth has a soulmate. A lover created especially for them. But I'm skeptical. I just don't believe it. I think more so than not, we often pair up with the wrong person. We start off loving them but, end up hating them. I wrote this song from experience. And many of you, admit it or not, can relate.

She Kills Me

By Melanie Thompson

Love you to death? Til death do us part? Be careful with your words grasshopper. You may just manifest a toxic love. One that makes you wish you were dead. And if you were to die at the hands of this toxic love, how would you go? Plane crash? Drowning? These lyrics could be the thoughts of a jilted lover, begging for death no matter the manner.

The right time

By Rihab Forsi

Sometimes it’s just not the right time for a romance to take place, some people split apart, not because of a fight or a big problem, some just lose each other because they haven’t met at the right time, and the question remains, would they pull it off if they met in a different time and different circumstances? Or is it just not meant to be? The song describes the feeling of a broken heart who has been through this situation.

What’s this

By Ivan Hart

A Song to inspire right thinking. To encourage us that some dreams are pie in the sky, foundationless castles and they can spend a lifetime to attain and then become your greatest disaster. Take some time and question those dreams.
