Songbird
(For Jackie)

verse 1
You tell me that you
Were better off before;
That no one’s on your side,
Like they all shut the door
In your face and you’re crying
‘Cause the things that they said
Cut you deep and you’re just trying
To live… but

chorus
When it seems like too much,
Remember it won’t last forever.
I’ve been there too,
I’ve been there, been through that, and I know
Someday you will get lucky,
And it will all come around.
I know you’ll find your place, but ‘til then,
Don’t let life get you down.

verse 2
You ask me why love
Is impossible to find.
I’ll tell you right now,
It just takes some time.
You’ve been hurt over and over;
Let your heart rest a while.
Find one who loves you for who you
Really are… yeah
(chorus)

bridge
Strength is something you have to achieve,
And it can be done, you just have to believe.
If you spread your wings, God can teach you to fly.
Take a deep breath and sing; take your song to the sky.
Learn from your falls; get up and show that you’re strong.
With a smile on your face, the pain won’t last for long…
No, not for long…

solo
(chorus)

verse 3 [quietly]
So don’t give up yet,
Jump into the fray,
Reach out to someone else,
And help them find their way.
When they need someone to talk to,
Be their shoulder to lean on,
Their guide, don’t let them go astray.
And you can sing them this song…
Say…
(chorus 2x)

Don't let life get you down...
Hold onto me, hold onto me...

~Jacinda♥♪
