The gentle heart 
Is seldom heard
A humble songbird
It sings in harmony
With all who give their love 
And ask for nothing in return 

It’s love holds on 
Sometimes too long
It’s forgiving song 
Floating on a breeze
Giving hope to those who dream
That someday love will come along 

Listen to its sweet tone
Hear it’s tender melody
Listen to the summerwind 
Whisper through the trees
Listen to its velvet beat
Feel it’s soothing rhythm 
Listen to the midnight rain 
Lulling you to sleep

Listen to it sing
Oh, listen to it sing 
Let it lift you up
On heaven’s wings

Listen to it sigh
Hear it softly cry
For all whom love 
Has passed them by

The gentle heart 
Is seldom heard
A humble songbird
It sings in harmony
With all who give their love
And ask for nothing in return 

Listen to its sweet tone 
Hear it’s tender melody 
Listen to the summerwind 
Whisper through the trees
Listen to its velvet beat
Feel it’s soothing rhythm 
Listen to the midnight rain 
Crying in your sleep
Listen to the midnight rain 
Crying in your sleep

By Christopher Van Name

For the children of Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and for all the children lost to the madness of untamed violence and lack of common sense gun control legislation. We failed them. Regardless of our differences, we’re supposed to protect them and ensure that tomorrow is their’s.

It’s not for them to say

By Christopher Van Name

Roe vs. Wade. Politicians and their puppets have no say in what a woman does with her body. It’s not for them to say. It’s her choice.

Home Alone

By Rowan Wilton

This song is from the perspective of an ambitious house bound individual who is daydreaming of fulfilling their heart’s wildest desires while enjoying earthly comforts. Though our protagonist has been wronged on many accounts by many past tormentors, there is an overwhelming sensation of bliss captured in the words, and newfound motivation brought forth from the careful contemplation in isolation.

Matters of the Heart

By Brian Hendrix

This one just popped into my head while I was trying to get to sleep. It shares a similar title with other songs, but the lyrics here are totally unique. I like the premise of it and how it turned out. Could fit into multiple genres, depending on any type of arrangement one wanted to put to it.

She never plays fair

By Howard Aronson

This lyric could be about a relationship, or just a friendship where the person doesn't care that you're caught in a web so to speak. Time and time again they let you down, but you keep going back for more. They find it amusing that you do, and they turn up the heat and do it even more. Basically they don't care at all, and think it's funny that you try so hard and they have total control over you. This happens all too often in relationship and friendships. That's because people are so consumed with themselves, it's so selfish that they take whatever they can get from a friendship or a relationship and just keep on going without reciprocating.
