Life Goes On
By Janaia McQuaig c 2008
From the moment I held you, I knew it was love.
You were sent to me, straight from above.
My inspiration and my reason to dream.
To show you a life, not as bad a as it seems.
You are my angel, as you reach for my hand.
God give me strength, help me understand.
Chorus
When morning has broken, and life goes on.
Angel's sing, this time we won.
The sun may shine, or the warm winds blow.
And baby I love you, deep in my soul.
Watching you suffer, cuts deep inside.
Praying God would take you, yet wanting you by my side.
Then living with my thoughts when you pull through,
Could you forgive me, if you ever knew?
All that you ask, a touch to reassure,
I promise you this, while we pray for a cure.
Chorus
If this day is our last, let love fill my heart.
So that when you're gone, I can make a new start.
Sometimes I want to run, run away from your pain,
Cause I can't bear to face it again.
I'd leave you with a song, a smile and a kiss.
Wherever you are, please remember this.....
When morning has broken and life goes on.
Angles sing, this time we won.
The sun may shine or the warm winds blow,
And baby I love you, deep in my soul...
When morning has broken and life goes on,
Angels sing, we never won,
Will the sun still shine?
How does life go on?
When morning has broken....
life goes on.

When the Fire Dies
By Janaia McQuaig
When the fire dies, I will stand
When the smoke clears, I'll be here.
When the fire is gone, I will love again,
When the flames disappear, without fear.
See the flowers grow, there I am,
trying to make it beautiful somehow.
I can only help before the seasons change,
Go and find the beauty on your own now.
I really thought, I could change the world.
Now I see, I was wrong.
All I really know is that it's time to move on,
We've already tried for too long.
Listen, please listen to what I say.
Before the roar of the fire drowns out my words.
Be the one you've been for so long,
That is what will heal you from the burns.
The fire is lit, my job is through.
You have traveled far but it's come to an end.
Things have changed and I've lost my way.
I'm going back to where the road took the bend.
When the fire dies, I will stand.
When the smoke clears, I'll be here.
When the fire is gone I will love again,
When the flames disappear, without fear.

You Decide
By Janaia McQuaig c2008
Where were you when I was on my knees
All alone, begging please
Now you come around, say you to try,
But my heart has already said good-bye
I don't want to be alone,
But I don't know how to bring love home....
So if I'm a bitch then let me go
if you don't like it, then hit the road
Life is hard, but I will survive
Are you in or out....you decide
You want more love but my heart is broken
Say what you want now, you've already spoken
Can time repair what we have torn?
My body's tired, my heart is worn
There's too much hurt, I can't go on
My love is lost, my strength is gone
CHORUS
So is what I need more than you can give?
I have to heal before I can live
What have we got to hold onto?
Is it worth a shot? It's up to you!
CHORUS

For Just a Moment
By Janaia McQuaig c2008
For Just a moment, hold me tight
I know it's wrong, but I need you tonight
Have tried so long, tired of doing it right
Take me now and hold on tight.
For just awhile I want to be free
To laugh, to love, touch and see
Who I really am, who I need to be
So tonight, make love to me
CHORUS
I need to feel, I want to know
Who I am, deep in my soul
Take my hand, lay by my side
For just a moment
For just one day, hold my pain,
So much to lose, so much to gain
Only one thing can stop the rain
But I know I'll never see it again
Just an hour will get me through
Help me do, what I need to do
It feels so good, just to know you
You make me smile, your words are true
CHORUS
For just tonight, take my lead
My lips are dry, my thirst you'll feed
Looking at you, I know what..I ..need,
Hear the thunder, feel my heart beat
If I stay it'll break his heart,
Tear their lives all apart
You deserve more, a brand new start
With the one you'll have every pray
CHORUS

A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build.
(There is an appointed time for everything, every affair under the heavens)
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them;
A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
(What is now has already been; what is to be already is)
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
A time to rend, a time to sew;
A time to be silent, and a time to speak.
(So enjoy what you've been given and don't chase after wind)
INSTRUMENTAL
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.
(So let's all love one another, it's time for peace today)

All Over Now
By Janaia McQuaig c2008
I saw you, you were beautiful
You touched me, it was magical
For a moment you were mine
But it's all over now
We danced, we danced
I want you, cause you're beautiful
Our love was magical
I will never forget you
But it's all over now
We danced, we danced
We danced, we danced
I'll hold you, cause you're beautiful
I know it will be magical
Tomorrow we'll say good-bye
Cause it's all over now
We'll dance, we'll dance
We danced, we'll dance
Let's dance, we danced.

Let the Jay Bird Sing
You Say You Have Faith
Let the Jay Bird Sing
By Janaia McQuaig c2008
I saw it on the news
i felt those tears
I know it's true
But I don't know why
Lord help me understand
Help me do my part
Let the Jaaay Bird sing
CHORUS
Let the Jay Bird Sing
Let the Eagle fly
Let the Dove spread its wings
When the angels pass by
We never will forget
The ones who touch our lives
Let the Away Bird sing
I'm walking out of here
I can't look back
I close the door
Hold his memory in my heart
Lord help me understand
Your bigger plan
Let the Eeeeagle fly
CHORUS
The child all alone
The one in his mother's arms
Will they ever make it home?
When will it end?
Lord I know you can heal
But what about the rest?
Let the Dooove spread its wings
CHORUS

You Say You Have Faith
By Janaia McQuaig c2008
You say you have faith, then why are you crying?
You say you have faith but inside you are dying
Let go of control, let it be where it stands
If you have faith, know it's out of your hands
No one would choose the path that I took
I pleaded and cried; read the good book
I tried so damn hard, why can't you see?
If you have faith, then just let it be
I'm trying to move on, where are you now?
It's not up to you to understand how
Life is not perfect, not all for the show
If you have faith, then just let it go
I've done what I had to just to get by
Survival is primal, can't keep living a lie
I won't keep pretending, not anymore
If you have faith, what is it for?
I lost myself, wanting it all
Held it together so that no one would fall
Then came the day I could stand no more
If you have faith, please open your door
Who are you really trying to impress?
The lies and secrets have created a mess
You say it's just me; you want me to feel
If you have faith then believe this is real
Generations have been destroyed one by one
The cycle stops here, the change has begun
I have been given the tools I need to get by
If you have faith, stop believing a lie
I am not you, you are not me
Becoming my own and need to be free
My shoes are not yours, try to understand
If you have faith, then reach out your hand
Only pride can keep us from living true
This is something that I need to do
I was not one to bare until it was almost too late
If you have faith you would know I can't wait
You say you have faith, then why are you crying
You say you have faith but inside you are dying
Hold your head high, you can't stop the rain,
If you have faith, give Jesus your pain
