A Bird In Tune & Strumming

Verse 1:
I've got lot of the same things
That a bird holds onto
Underneath their two wings
That's the reason I flew

Chorus:
And I'm now way up high
Far above what is down
And now I can see why
I was meant to fall down

Verse 2:
I found hope in the shadows
For they are proof there is light
Then it took all my sorrows
Like a thief in the night
Will the skies really take me?
Or will they drown me out?
Gravity, you can hate me
Cause' I don't plan to stay down

Chorus:
And I'm now way up high
Far above broken ground
As I look through my eyes
There are stars all around

Verse 3:
The ground is waiting to break me
Ready to give a curse
If I'd let the storm take me
I would've ended up worse

Outro:
As the years pass me by
21 was a ride
I won't forget the writing of your words inside my life

Lyrics by: Jon Medrano

This is a song I wrote for me and my friends, while thinking about our move across the country. The memories we all shared will most definitely lead us on to new ones.

Verse 1:

The list is going well

I just hope we could all finish before March

I'm thinking about those nights around open fires

Underneath the stars

Those are the times that lead us on

Those are the times that lead us on

Chorus:It's been six long years and they have brought us here

And if you say farewell, I might shed a tear

Oh, come on lets go-lets not wait in time

Cause' our moments here as we sing this good goodbye song

Verse 2:
Summers were a blast

And don't forget all those times David, made us laugh

Epic Wednesday's where a plus

Filled with friends we all know

And I'll keep my birdman eyes

These are the times that lead us on

These are the times that lead us on

Bridge:

The best thing that you gave me, it wasn't just our name

Naw, it wasn't any dollar menu fry

It's got to come out heartfelt

I've got to say this right

The best thing that you gave me was your time

And these are the times that lead us on

My Start

Verse 1:

I had a friend, she lived in Penfield, out of my sight

And all my friends, they'll stay where she will, at home

I can not lie when I say I'll miss her

And everyone stays in mind

It is real when people shatter

So I don't want to cry

Chorus:

I guess I, gotta go

I guess I, should've known

This is where, this is where I'll find my start

Verse 2:

I see the city lights around me lighting my view

And I remember all our laughter and cries

You see, the world is waiting for me and you, just the same

We've got a song to sing out loudly in the one perfect name

Oh, start

This is where

This is where I'll find my start

Lyrics by: Jon Medrano

We Live

Verse 1:
I see a remedy and it gives hope to bring
A love that conquers death-it conquers me
So don't believe in fear and everything you hear
You are a soul that's more than this life

Chorus:
We live-we trust
We try to rejoice with thus, who
Gave us the right to stand for what we believe
We live-we love
We bring to him those who don't
And we find the strength now to rise up again

Verse 2:
You clean the outside right
You need some help within
Don't believe in lies just to fit in
There is a higher call beyond the atmosphere
It's waiting to give hope
So trade in your tears now

Bridge:
There is a reason for love
There is a reason to live out loud
It's in the mighty above
The God of life!

Lyrics by: Justine N. Lahr & Jon A. Medrano

My Heart Sings "I Am Free"

Is there a pattern for love and kindness?
A way of joy to hold onto.
Because my joy has been on mute lately
And I'm hoping for a breakthrough
I there a depth in a river of hope?
Or a height to it's loving waves?
Can a man swim through loves waters,
And not drown in caressing grace?

Like a soft word attracts attention
A quiet prayer of a youthful soul
It's extraordinary when eyes awaken
It's amazing when our hearts are whole

Not everyone lives for the perfect love
The perfect song of the one above
But it's a choice that we have all been given
To make a lasting covenant, sealed with blood
Not from our own but from the cross
Our blood we kept, our sin we lost

It's amazing the day I awoke and ran
To Loves arms of the one, I Am
It's true there is no depth to the love of Love
I breathe it now, it's all my heart is full of

It's more than the ordinary
So much more than any understanding
A force that makes you kneel and fall
A love powerful and demanding
No more will I believe in earthly lies
To long, have they made me blind
I am finally now, wide awake
And all fear I cast behind

What can I give to the one who saves?
The one who took my weary days?
These eyes have seen amazing things
I'm so in awe by what Love brings
Now, the Sheol has lost it's grip on me
My heart sings "I am free"
My Savior came and to me he loves extraordinarily!

I'm Waiting For My Princess

Verse 1:
I'm riding out now
Here on my stang, I'm headed out
It's almost seen now
My stars are surrendering to the Son

Is she really out there?
In a small town or a fortress heart?
I'll continue dreaming
And I'll pray she'll do the same for me

Chorus:
I was shattered once and broken twice
I will remain, I will remain
For you the fairest one of all
I will not faint, I will not faint

I'm waiting for my Princess

Verse 2:
My heart is bursting
It's leaking out and makes me smile
For the day when I see you
To the girl someday I'll say "I do"

Bridge:
As I wait here I won't wake up love
I won't wake it to soon
And when your here I will go with you
Through better and through worse!

Lyrics by: Jon Medrano

Everything, Everything

Everything, everything
We say we want everything
Tonight I make a wish
And hope someday it will come true
To not need anything, and have everything!

But what if I miss the opportunity?
Will my heart be still able to sing?
Yes, that perfect moment passed me by
Yet, I still live to see the bright early morning
It's a star studded cast of sun and clear skies
And singing birds, who are together in tune

I find nothing less of living
Than I was only yesterday
And with everyday, I am reminded of my purpose
I need to always remember who I am, and what I have

I have been given blessing
It is proof of love
I have been given peace
If is proof of joy
Together gladness is given to me

I am in no lack of money, food, a roof over my head
Even friends who lend their hands
But who needs everything?....I do
I am in need of nothing
And have everything

God is gracious
And I am living proof

Why Do I Question Why?

I'm awake and packed-ready to head out

I've got my heart intact but my mind still doubts

If it holds today will tomorrow fall

I see the dawns rays now

And now I hear your call

You see the road but why do I question why

Yeah, you'll see me home but why do I question why

I'm in a sea of doubt

Spark a light im me and take the bitter cold

I've made a mess of me-I need a miricle

I hear a brand new sound resounding in my ear

And in this life I found I got to loose my fear

I will believe in love today

And know that this heart is not afraid

Before the Son was broken and surrenderd to a cross

You loved

Yeah, you loved

I've got to leave

Yes, I've got to leave

I'm going to leave my doubt

Open Skies

I can hear it come today
Rolling thunder is on it's way
I don't want to stand and stare
And I don't want to hide
I want to dance out on the street
And let it know I'm not so weak
But I don't want to let my cares come and make me blind

Open skies are ahead of me
Hope will tear through the atmosphere

We are hammers building walls
Reinforced as hatred calls
If our words can start a war
Let our tounges be tamed
It can only last so long
And it won't always be this way
If your looking straight ahead, you will see the stars

I see hope now straight ahead
Within the Saviors arms

Open skies are ahead of me

I've Got a Tune Stuck In My Head

This is the song I have never heard before

But right now it's all I can hear

It's a beautiful tragedy with a bit of relief

Giving me freedom from all that I fear

It's building me with sound

Blasting, creating, and finding a groove

Living inside with nothing to do

But fall on my face reach for the line

I'm reaching out now, there insn't much time

Is there a doubt that really matters?

If so, let's tear that medody

Bring it out to deconstuct

I do believe there is a remedy

My life had an intro

And now I'm waiting for the end

I'm waitng for the purpose

And the reason that I began
