when it rains
                  
                             
The soft grey sky
Drifts to the ground
Brown rivulets
Trickle away
Trickle away
Washing sadness down
Weather vanes
Weep and turn
Weep and turn
Forgetting in the damp and grey
That by and by
The sun will shine
Sun will shine
By and by 
The sun will shine.

Breakaway
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
 
Take a chance 
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance 
Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

There comes a time in your life when you realizethat if you stand still, you will remain at this pointforever. You realize that 
if you fall and stay down, life will pass you by. Life's circumstances are 
not always what you might wish them to be. The pattern of life does not necessarily go as you plan. Beyond any understanding, you may at times be led in different directions that you never imagined, dreamed, or designed. Yet if you had never put any effort into choosing a path, or tried to carry out your dream, then perhaps you would have no direction at all. Rather than wondering about or questioning the direction your life had taken, accept the fact that there is a path before you now. Shake off the "why 's" and "what if 's" and rid yourself of confusion. Whatever was= is in the past. Whatever is= is what's important. 
The past is a brief reflection. The future is yet to be realized. Today is here. Walk yourpath one step at a time- with courage, faith and determination. Keep your head up, and 
cast your dreams to the stars. Soon your steps will become firm, and your footing will be solid again. A path that you never imagined will become the mostcomfortabledirection you could have ever hoped to follow. Keep your belief in yourself and walk into your new journey. 
You will find it magnificent, spectacular, beyond your wildest dreams.
