Martina lyrics

This is no
Yellow brick road
We've been travelin' on

A river of tears
Washed us here
We're right where we belong

We rode it out
No, we didn't drown
And look at what we've found

Every street we take
Is paved with truth
If a mountain's in our way
That's a mountain we move
Baby, there ain't nothin' we can't do
Since me and you
Built this city of love

Through shiftin' sands
With our own hands

I met God's Will on a Halloween Night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves
It hid the braces on his legs at first

His smile was as bright as the August sun
When he looked at me
As he struggled down the driveway
It almost made me hurt

Will don't walk too good
Will don't talk too good
He won't do the things that the other kids do
In our neighborhood

[chorus]

There's a boat, I could sail away
There's the sky, I could catch a plane
There's a train, there's the tracks
I could leave and I could choose to not come back
Oh, never come back

There you are, giving up the fight
Here I am begging you to try
Talk to me, let me in
But you just put your wall back up again
Oh, when's it gonna end

How far do I have to go to make you understand

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise, and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes
Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

I was alone in the dark
Never let down my guard
Closed the curtain on my heart
So the world could not see
All the demons in me
Told myself I was free

Then you showed me how wrong I could be

Now I'm standing on a mountain of rubble
That once was a wall
Took years to build around me
And you came along
And you tore it down
Like it was nothing at all
Now it's a little scary
Learning to fall

Somewhere over the rainbow
way up high, there's a land that I heard of once
In a lullaby,

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue
and the dreams that you dare to dream
really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clowds are far behind me,
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
oh way up above the chimmney tops,
Thats where you'll find........me,

Jesus, tell my Father
I want to be His child again
Tell Him what my name is
In case He's forgotten

Tell Him I'm the woman
At the well
Drawing water
And I'm sorry if I've been His
Reluctant daughter

Jesus, tell my angels
To keep me in their prayers
Remind them how I need
To feel them everywhere

Tell Him I'm ready to drink living water
I don't want my angels to think
I'm His

She remembers when she first got her wings
And how she opened up the day she learned to sing
Then the colors came, erased the black and white
And her whole world changed when she realized

She's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down
And everywhere she goes
Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive
She's a butterfly

Like the purest light in a darkened world

I was walking down the street
In my blue jeans and my bare feet
I saw old Mrs. Mayo in her garden so high

She got her prize azaleas
And her big ole fat tomatoes
She invited me in to have a piece of her pie

And later on I thought I'd head on down
By the Caley river to the old rope swing
There was a bunch of kids laughin' and jumpin' in
I sat down on the grass and I just watched them play

This is for all you girls about thirteen
High school can be so rough, can be so mean
Hold on to, on to your innocence
Stand your ground when everybody's givin' in
This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about twenty-five
In little apartments, just tryin' to get by
Livin' on, on dreams and Spaghetti-O's
Wonderin' where your life is gonna go

This one's for the girls

Phones were ringing, tongues were wagging
Hot gossip was flying
All around town
She heard the talk, the lowdown was
The shameless color of
Her wedding gown

It's white
I mean, really, who's she trying to kid
Everybody knows the things she did
It just isn't right
Won't that be a sight
To see her wearing white

She was wild, a wayward child
To put it mildly
She made her life a mess

Sometimes I feel like I never quite fit in
Like I'm always a little out of place
It's hard to be everything to everyone
There's so many roles I have to play
Sometimes I'm just barely hanging on
Seems like I'm always fighting to be strong
To find somewhere that I belong

When you love me
Every part of me feels like
I'm right where I'm meant to be
When you touch me
You reach through to my soul

Hold me like a wild flower

Fall around me like a sun shower

Kiss me like you're on fire

And tell me what's underneath

Show me
I want you to show me

What love is

Run with me like a hell-bent gypsy

Scream for me from the highest balcony

Carve my name on an old red door in Spain

Make me immortal, make me immortal in your heart

And show me

I want you to show me

What love is
