How Lucky I Am

I couldn't believe my luck today
A Nigerian Prince had come my way
He wrote me a mail full of promise and joy
And this is just a few things that he wanted to say

I have 40 million dollars in a bank right here waiting just for you
I need you to release it cause I'm in a little stew
Some bad people want to steal it and your my only hope
I know it must seem strange to you but I am sure that you will make it through

Now how lucky was that, he somehow knew that I was a little short
And a tidy sum of money like this would help things to get bought
So I replied straight away and contacted this saviour to my life
And I told him that I hoped that all the bad people would get caught

I sat here so patiently waiting for the money to arrive
And after a few days I thought I hope he's still alive
He did say he was in danger when he sent that first email
So I sent him another letter and hoped he would reply

I hope that all is well with you and nothing is a miss
And soon you will be safe and well and able to reminisce
The money hasn't made it yet, but I guess it may be tough
Trying to ensure the funds go through the proper business

A few more days had gone right by when something strange occurred
I got a mail from a solicitor hoping that I'd heard
A chinese man had passed away and left me quite a sum
Wow I said who would have thought that I'd have been referred

So now I'm waiting for so much to pop up in my bank
So many people thought of me when there lives upturned and sank
How lucky this one man must be to randomly be their heir
And all I did was send them all my details!! and you thought I was a plank!

Little Things

Nothing much can shake you
The rock beneath's too strong
Each day is just a battle
That goes on for so long
When the worlds against you
And everything looks down
Something will release you
and help you lose the frown


Its just the little things that matter
The smallest moments that suffice
The little smiles that you remember
The tiny things that made you cry

Trying Too Hard

Somebody once told me that a life is only good for fifteen minutes

I didn't understand this quote and asked him to explain just what he meant

He told me of a story of a man who wanted everything around him

And all about the things he lost when looking back, he started to repent

Nothing ever lasts forever and only we can change our destiny

The man was losing touch with all the conversations flowing through his head

No matter what he faced in life the evil was just lurking down below

And now he's on his knees and thinking all about what everybody said

You are trying too hard

Don't push because it might be broken

You are trying too hard

Some of these words never need to be spoken

You are Trying Too Hard
The light went out when you lost emotion
You are trying too hard
It disappeared in all the commotion

The fast car and his model wife were never quite enough for what he wanted
always pushing further he let the things he loved just slip away
The alcohol and cigarettes would only satisfy him for a second
But now he needed something more to get him through the worst part of the day

The harsh realities were there very clear for everyone to see
The only person in the dark is always the star of the show
It could run right up and hit him in the face and he wouldn't even notice
Cause he's had a little high but now there is only once place that is left to go

You are trying too hard

Don't push because it might be broken

You are trying too hard

Some of these words never need to be spoken

You are Trying Too Hard
The light went out when you lost emotion
You are trying too hard
It disappeared in all the commotion

Better Than This

The thunder and lightning is gathering above
There's always a storm when push comes to shove
You can get in my mind and run me around
And you stay there all day without making a sound

I've felt better than this on days before
I may be losing the battle but I'm winning the war
The people all around will see what they see
But at the end of the day, for a good reason, I'm Just Me

Dark shadows surround me at the end of the day
And they look to attack in a particular way
Inside or Outside they will always be close
And it seems that they are upping the dose

I've felt better than this on days before
I may be losing the battle but I'm winning the war
The people all around will see what they see
But at the end of the day, for a good reason, I'm Just Me

Collapsed in a heap or standing up tall
Just as your starting to walk you are ready to fall
The light it is fading and darkness prevails
And once again come the imaginary tales

I've felt better than this on days before
I may be losing the battle but I'm winning the war
The people all around will see what they see
But at the end of the day, for a good reason, I'm Just Me
