Words and Music-Hayla Weisz
For Sheryl Crow.
Seven wishes on a birthday card
Seven questions in your eyes
The answer always remains in clear sight
You can take whatever comes
Soak your feet up in a hot tub
Like in the river on a Mississippi day
Feel your strength
The weight the years have brought
And know you can't be blow away
I am so broken
My pieces chafed, askew
If I am beyond repair
Let me break for you too
And you will wake up, soon
And it will all seem like another bad dream
We're all punching bags of life, sometimes, most times
One more breath,one more word, one more taste
What a waste of time
Will can wash it all away
because you're the rock
Not the chalk in the rain
Alone again, out in the field you stand
Childhood was now you're the queen you dreamed you'd be
crown the stars, command the earth under your hand
change the wind, raise the degree
In time you'll realize you were never alone
We stood there all along
Waiting, wailing, wanting you to come on home
the coffee's cold, the couch too warm, don't leave us hanging long
