Heart and Soul

Seeing G-d playing such a strong role in my life through good and hard times. When nothing goes right And I’m in need of some insight At the end of the day I think about what they all say That the only reliable source is You Tell me is it true Chorus I feel the thunder Pulling me under The rain is coming down I see the signs And I realize That you heard me cries That you heard my cries This can’t just be coincidence With the repetition of these incidents A voice was yelling look at me look at me I didn’t want to look before but now I want to see Chorus Bridge I know that You’re blessing me Even when You’re testing me And I know that Your way Is the only way Chorus

Work on yourself, find the reason for your existence, and search for the truth. What am I doing here What is my life about What if I asked away And never found out These questions scare me Why can’t I see clearly Chorus It’s about love And finding the connection With the one up above It’s about love It’s about love Realize your actions Don’t run on automatic Ask for forgiveness Until you have it Just keep your head up high I know life’s hard but you’ll get by Chorus Bridge Life can be beautiful Though living can get so painful You gotta take the good from the bad And remember all the joy that you had Chorus

Realizing that some things are out of our control, let go and let G-d take over. I was ready to give up My emotions all bottled up Suddenly it became clear The light at the end was coming near Chorus Fate is not in my possession After all I’ve learnt after all I’ve seen I have one confession I used to think my Life was according to my plan Life was according to my plan But now I see that It’s really in the palm of G-D’s hand Stop thinking so hard Give your aching head a break Be careful with what you feed your soul G-D’s watching you and He’s in control Chorus Bridge I didn’t know The direction of my path Now I found some clarity at last And I know that fate… Chorus

Reach your amazing potential, don’t do things that will hurt you, regardless of how painful your situation in life may be. You have a smile That makes your face light up and your eyes glow You could be so amazing You have such great potential But you keep bringing yourself down I used to like having you around Chorus Don’t you want to live a long life It’s not time to say goodbye Seeing you hurt yourself Makes it hard for me not to cry Your life could have meaning If you worked a little bit Hear my voice…don’t do this I know your life’s not perfect But hurting yourself is not worth it I can say this a million times or more But if you don’t listen what am I wasting my breath for You keep bringing yourself down I used to like having you around Chorus Bridge Don’t you want your children to continue your name If you do stop playing such a dangerous game G-D is not the one you should blame G-D is not the one you should blame Chorus

The power of prayer, desiring closeness to the one up above. As the sun comes up The first thing I do Is open up my heart and soul to You You’re so far at the same time so near I wonder are You really here Chorus There’s something about You I can’t describe Can I be close to You I would have nothing to hide Though I don’t understand The reasons behind Your plan I’m putting my life in Your hands Please accept my words Everything I say I beg of You don’t turn me away You’re the only One Who knows my hopes and my fears So please accept my prayers Chorus Bridge Shema Kolainu Hashem Elokeinu Chus Veracheim Chus Veracheim Aleinu Chorus

We all go through hard times, you are never alone, a brighter day is right around the corner. Sometimes you find yourself in a place All you want to do is escape You have confusion written all over your face Where is happiness don’t you want a taste Where is happiness don’t you want a taste Chorus The doors just closed they’re locked nice and tight When you break through I know you’ll be alright Is it impossible to find a place like home I’ll come with you so you’re not alone Cuz’ no one likes being alone When I’m faced with situations So many choices I need to make Every single decision Is a risk that I’ve got to take Chorus The doors just closed they’re locked nice and tight When I break through I know I’ll be alright Is it impossible to find a place like home Come with me I don’t want to be alone Cuz’ no one likes being alone Bridge It’s time to go it’s time to leave Behind all the pain, behind all the grief Tomorrow’s a new day Good things will come your way Believe what you believe Believe what you believe Chorus The doors just closed they’re locked nice and tight When we break through I know we’ll be alright Is it impossible to find a place like home We’ll go together so no one’s alone Cuz’ no one likes being alone

My mother is my love, my life, my inspiration this song is for every mother out there. Mother dear you never complain Though I know that I must drive you insane Mother dear you’re like a spiral On a notebook that keeps me in line Chorus And I am blessed to have you in my life Our togetherness gets me through those hard times You mean everything you mean the world to me And if you weren’t by my side I wouldn’t be anything Mother dear you’ve taught me all I know So I am writing this song to show You made me who I am who I am today Your wise words have helped me along the way Chorus 2x

Winning the battle against the Evil Inclination / Yetzer Hara. It’s an emotional rollercoaster Stomach drops head pounding When you talk the way you talk I find it astounding That after all I did You couldn’t give Chorus Anything in return Besides for some painful burns And I’m not about to let you walk all over me I am no one’s door mat when will you see This trip has got to stop I don’t give out free rides You’ve taken all you could Well I realized Don’t hurt anyone else And may G-D send you help Chorus Bridge Can’t you see that I’m gone I was never wrong I’m not coming back Can you handle that Chorus

Being drawn to G-D, and knowing that He will lead me on the right path. Your voice is calling my name I’m drawn to You my life will never be the same Your presence uplifts my soul You’re the only One who can make me whole Chorus I’m ready to take this road I don’t know where it will go Lead me somewhere And I’ll take it from there I’ll dig deep down inside I’ll let go of my pride Baruch Shem Civod Malchuso This is the first time that I found something real I feel You near me though You’re concealed You’re my guide the one I trust I’m Yours and I can’t get enough Chorus Bridge So I’ll keep on Walking straight Until I Find my way Chorus

Choose to be happy NOW, life isn’t always easy but you can appreciate what you have and change your mindset. I always see people who look miserable They have everything but act like they have nothing at all If they never see the gifts that G-D gives them Maybe someday He’ll take them away No one ever said that life was easy It’s pretty difficult actually Chorus Maybe when I get a raise Or when I lose ten pounds This vicious cycle goes around and around Being happy is a choice I can’t keep waiting and waiting If I live that way life would just be frustrating (frustrating, frustrating) Verse It’s not easy to change your mindset Everyone procrastinates saying I’m not there yet Look inside your self find the solution Don’t base your happiness on condition No one ever said that life was easy It’s pretty difficult actually Chorus There’s always gonna be Someone who has more But if you look again There’s always something worth living for Chorus

Don’t listen to voice inside your head (or to the people around you) that tell you you’re not good enough, because you are incredible and don’t ever forget it! You said I wouldn’t get far And I’d never discover what my strengths are After all of those years After all of those tears I can’t believe I listened to those words Chorus You were wrong Yes I was wrong It was me putting myself down all along That little voice Inside my head Needs somewhere else to live instead I’m moving you out cuz’ I have been mislead You said I was unlikable And the words that I spoke made no sense at all It’s time to say good bye Please don’t ask me why We both know the damage that’s been done Chorus Bridge You said I couldn’t take it You said I’d only fake it And that I wouldn’t survive Through the hard times in my life You said I wouldn’t make it Chorus

Times are rough but family, friends, and simple joys, help us get through. Hey mother why do you cry Wipe those tears falling from your eyes You work way too hard to be this upset So listen when I say don’t give up hope yet Chorus Though the days get hard the going gets rough Can make anyone say they’ve had enough The stress builds up and the money’s tight But I’d say we’re doin’ alright Money doesn’t mean everything It can’t show you the joy that life can being I’m a simple girl so if you’d ask me I’d say the best things in my life are free Chorus Bridge We have family We have laughter We have good times What more could we ask for Two loving parents That do more then they should Well if you asked me I’d say were doing pretty good That’s what I’d say I’d say were doing pretty good Chorus

No experience lasts forever, you have to keep on working and keep on growing. Every end is a new beginning. It’s time I’m going Vulnerable not knowing Where I’ll be where I’ll go Hoping that I’ll continue to grow And reach as high as I can I hope that I meet these demands Chorus This has been the best time of my life I need some help now Will I be alright I’ll need reassurance I’ll need endurance If I want to survive if I want to get by I will make it Hello goodbye I didn’t know that time was gonna fly In the future challenges coming I’m gonna face them No more running I’ll reach as high as I can I hope that I meet these demands Chorus Bridge This is just the beginning Of the meaningful life I will be living This is the start of a new stage I’m turning over the page Chorus
