The Adventure Called Life Day 329...music and lyrics...

For some reason, I am not good at putting BOTH music AND lyrics together. Zachariah and I began writing a song, and we had a basic chord progression down for the verse, chorus and bridge. but no lyrics. I couldn't come up with anything other than that it had to be folkie. wow.

now i seem to have insomnia. I can't sleep. This hasn't happened to me in awhile. idk what to do. hope I can at least get some z's. peace.

The Adventure Called Life Day 181...back at it...

so choir was cancelled today :)

needless to say, I was so thankful for that. I have managed to get most of my video shot, and then all my homework done.

and

 I GOT A NEW PAIR OF CHUCKS! <3 they 're just plain black. but i love them anyway! simple, but edgy. lol...

well off to the music building for some writing. i have to have a song written for my worship leading small group. hopefully I can show them it tomorrow after my final cut tutorial. ugh. i hate scheduling things over other things...

till then,

patience...

patience

its a virtue

or so im told

its something

that comes in handy

its something 

that puts you in a better mood

im trying to be patient

waiting on someone

it can wear on your spirit

especially when its someone special

you want to give them the world

you want to make the wrongs right

you want to be there for them

even late at night

it doesn't seem fair

you don't even know i care

how can i tell you

when its supposed to be you

you're the one supposed to be chasing

and im not supposed to be wasting

my heart on you 

would you want to know?

would you run away?

if i told you it kills me

to see you look at me that way

to hear you play with your deep soul

to feel you sing with your pure heart

its eating me alive

i wish i didn't have to hide

but patience

its a virtue

or so im told

so patient i'll remain

loving your beautiful soul

from a far 

until you glance

and see right through me

patience

just some more random words and thoughts. this late night writing is swiftly becoming a way for me to process and let my feelings out. its great. Thanks Lord for another beautiful day.

The Adventure Called Life Day 128...ocean wide...

here's another song that I wrote recently. its kinda mushy and fluffy. but i like it, especially the stanza that starts off with "you play that guitar like its alive"...enjoy :)

ocean wide

by: carolyn marie

how can I be seeing futures 

when you’re seventeen

a feeling like this is too extreme

what does love, oh really mean

are you too young to feel this way?

let the music take you, c’mon sway

the other girls want you for your play

i just want to you to be okay

you play that guitar like its alive

you sing like the blue ocean wide

your heart is gold, pure and bright

i just want to see it shine

how can i be seeing futures

when you’re seventeen

a feeling like this is too extreme

what does love, oh really mean

its a choice, a resolve, a mystery

a commitment to a journey

two hearts becoming one

this is really mushy

i wish i wasn’t so pushy

i just can’t get you out of my head

out of my heart out of my soul

oh

you play that guitar like its alive

you sing like the blue ocean wide

your heart is gold, pure and bright

i just want to see it shine

how can i be seeing futures

when you’re seventeen

a feeling like this is too extreme

i hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into my life right now. im beginning to think that God is replacing my dancing with words and song writing...its interesting.

forever desire

forever desire

by: carolyn marie

who are you?

do we know?

do we have it right?

are we even close?

there is so much more

isn’t there?

isn’t there?

we’re missing it

aren’t we?

aren’t we?

Lord

reveal

guide

i open this heart

this heart of mine

let the beauty, let the change

let it start with me again

stir within me a fire

that never goes out

let it burn for you

and you alone

you are my forever desire

nothing is gonna douse this love

you are what i want

what i crave to become

let the beauty, let the change

let it start with me again

stir within me a fire

that never goes out

let it burn for you

and you alone

you are my forever desire

nothing is gonna douse this love

you are what i want

what i crave to become

and this is just an example of how God is so good. Thanks Lord for the inspiration. can't wait for it to be a new day so I can actually plunk this out on my guitar! so laughing right now. thanks again God. you're amazing. you're my forever desire.

in Jesus' name,

AMEN

The Adventure Called Life Day 112...untouchable...

silence or untouchable (not sure which title yet)

by carolyn marie

you’re untouchable

you’re unreachable

i can’t see you

but i can feel your heart

what can i do 

against your walls of silence

i can’t come in

when there’s no window

to let the light in

i stand here

powerless in the face of your pain

you can’t open the door

there’s no key out here

but a lock on the inside

a lock on the inside

you’re untouchable

you’re unreachable

i can’t see you

but i can feel your heart

something tells me

it doesn’t have to be this way

it doesn’t have to hurt this bad

but

what can i do

against your walls of silence

i can’t come in

when there’s no window

to let the light shine in

i can't see you

but i can feel your heart

you're unreachable

oh you're untouchable...

just a little ditty i wrote after watching Lady Gaga's video for Speechless. I love this video. Please click the link below and watch it, I promise you won't be disappointed! this is my favorite performance of 2009 :) enjoy!

some men may follow me, but you choose death and company...why you so speechless? oh, oh, oh~

your love has torn me apart...

here are some lyrics that have been bouncing around in my head...

your love has torn me apart
ripped away guilt
snatched my faith in myself
shattered my dreams
stolen my pride
cut away my calloused heart
your love has torn me apart


your love's renewed me O Lord
dreams are made new
heart is made whole
selfless faith remains
joy has overcome 
I sing forever how
your love never fails


just a little ditty i've been throwing around...tell me what you think :)
