Set Sail - Breaking Ground

1) NICK CANNON
This was the first time that i ever fell in love
and i gave so much of myself
the heart the mind the body
sold out for abandon ship and ill go so fucking hard
so ill seem so calm before the storm
the waters break against this vessel
and i look to my shipmates and i never forget their words
ABANDON SHIP!
i cant let this lesson not be learned
this moment will not be wasted
and the rains could fall and lighting can strike
so Ill try to fuckin grab the prison shore
And i cant give up not in this fight
We learn so much because of falling hard
and the weight of regret is pulling me under
and ive got the strength to push it away
THIS SHIP WONT SINK! WHEN YOUR MEMORY FADES AWAY!
THIS SHIP WONT SINK! WHEN YOUR MEMORY FADES!

2) THIS IS PROGRESS
im just a kid waiting for a prophet
to say something for me to believe in.
im just a kid, im just a kid.
so please give me something more to latch onto. ive lost all faith in those who are hopeful,
and i dont have what i once had.
ive lost all hope in those who are faithful
and im giving up entirely.
and i know that its time for this kid to grow up. to be the tree of a seed once planted
the sun is shining the birds are singing.
for each dawn a new day for each day a new chance. im losing sight of saviors but maybe its better. seeing who i am for what ive done,
brings a smile to this face
no prophet spoke for my mistakes.
breaking it all down for me to see what im going to be.
broken mirrors reflecting fallen stars and in these pieces i find my life.
no one told me this would be easy.
im packing up im starting over.
a future uncertain holding only the lessons that ive learned.
ill draw my own maps. my own conclusions.
ill write the ends to these chapters.
im just an artist. an author. no fuckin prophet.

3) AL PACINO
And no longer am i afraid of
Failing and falling. pushing forward and moving toward
my own pursuit of happiness.
not backing down not bowing out, not giving up on a moment of understanding from my uncles death
he always taught me to be proud of,
The paths ive chose the roads ive walked, the words ive spoke the decisions ive made
one heart with one mind, so much left to see
one life, one chance, to make dreams come true
these days, these nights. there never long enough
it hurts, it kills. but i will carry on
this could be your one last moment, your one last breath
so take every second for what it is and rest
REST WHEN YOU FUCKING DIE!

4) BFC
this one goes out to the friends i made
the heart we gave
through dimmest days and darkest nights, they never let me fall
to a world so cold, they gave me the warmest touch
And to a heart so dead, it meant so much
its all or nothing when it comes down to whats inside our hearts
the promise of each endless night becoming timeless memories
the looks in our eyes, the smiles on our faces
the significance that this,that this bears on our souls!
The honor. The Family (ill never forget).
means more than blood
THIS FRIENDSHIP IS MY HOME
THIS FRIENDSHIP IS MY SAVIOR
this bond will not be broken
this ink will never dry
and i stand by them until
THE DAY THAT I DIE

5) WILL SMIF
for the first time in 19 years i feel that i am not where i belong SO FAR FROM FAMILY
but these skylines bring me back home
day after day i wake up
knowing that the hardest stride is alone
NO HEROES. NO HOPE'
but this is it, this is my time
i could spend hours with this pen and paper
filling nothing but a trash can
this heart has a lot to say
but the words are hard to find
and the winters here in Michigan
leave next to nothing, for my imagination
but the cold, gray, and dead
this is the hell ive gone through
bearing the burdens of my truth
so hear me out
and forgive me if im to loud
but i know that i cant fly and i wont give up
I, WILL MAKE MY, MARK, ON THIS WORLD
THIS WORLD IS MINE

6) JOE PESCI
everyone wants to be a hero, but noone wants to be a soldier
im sticking tight to the word LEND A HAND
and let us turn this world around
One day this will be ours
as long as we remember
that life is what we make it
the time has come
for us to rise up
and make this something more
not running away from responsibility
growing up and facing what life has to offer
not sitting down on opportunities
so make the efforts and make the change
and never forget
the fate of this world
rest in the palm the palm of our hands
