I Am Brian Jeffrey – Song Lyrics


Empty Words

 I come up

Up like a rising son

Hoping to be the one

Knowing life's just begun

 

When I'm down

Feeling alone in the crowd

Singing the tears of a clown

I don't see you around

 

               (Chorus)

I've had enough of your empty words

you say that you love me

Ya, I've heard it that one before

half is not enough

like bees without the birds

I've had enough of your empty words

 

I go out

Out of my mind

All the time

Can’t figure the reason or rhyme

Learning to change on a dime

 

 

I get scared

Afraid of what I don't know

Can't figure out where to go

Release what I can't control

 

          (Chorus)

 

I stand up

Up to the task at hand

Rise up and take a stand

Find the promise land

 

Took a leap

and when I survived the fall

rose up and I stood tall

It made me stronger after all

 

          (Chorus)

 

 

 

 

The Best

 

Blue Skies

Sunshine

When you shined your light on me

You’re more than a woman you’re the reason

for the man I want to be

        Chorus-

And when I look into your eyes

I see the sunrise

And when I see your smiling face

Feel your warm embrace

I realize

The best is yet to come

 

What else can I say

I love you more each day                                                 

And as we sail across the sea                                                         

Together you and me

I wonder what that will be                                                 

               (Chorus)

The storm rolled in

Then a cold wind

Ripped the roof right off our house

And rocked our foundation

Do we have the strength to carry on?

Are we that strong?

Yes we will chase the clouds away

and truly say, “It’s a brand new day”…and the best is yet to come

 

 

Alone

 

hey, is there anyone out there

hey is there anyone home

hey can you hear what I'm saying

or do I walk this valley alone

 

I grew up believing in the dream

hard work will bring you everything you need

I've been around the world with my six string and my girl

returned home to a land I had never known

 

               (Chorus)

hey, is there anyone out there

hey is there anyone home

hey can you hear what I'm saying

or do I walk this valley alone

 

I tried my best to make my dreams come true

What you know of who you are was done to you

I reached out for a choice but all I heard was my own voice

and I know just what I have to do

 

                (Chorus)

 

I sold my fuckin’ soul to buy some land

desperation pushed this gun into my hand

and in a flash I thought is there right in what is wrong

but it was far too late to take it back

 

        (Chorus)

 

 

 

Get it right

 

Can't trust no one

Don't trust myself

I put my dreams

Up on the shelf

 

Made a compromise

Along the way

Begin again

Live for today

 

Once in a while you get it right

Can't claim a win

Without the fight

Well I don't know if all that’s true

It's not what you say, it's what you do

 

                          (Chorus)

Where is this long road leading me

How will I know which way to turn

Can I stand up when I fall

Do I know anything or nothing, at all

 

Staring through the windshield

watching as the street lines roll along

See the years in my rearview

all the places that I  haven't gone

Destinations on the horizon

So many faces seem unclear

Twenty years on the wrong path

No more living my life in fear

 

Once in a while you get it right

Take your time

Enjoy the ride

It's not as long as it may seem

The right road will lead you to your dreams

 

 

         Chorus

 

You can not know what life can be

Until you live it effortlessly

It all comes down to finding

meaning in everything

 

        Chorus

 

 

Strong Enough

 

Whatever life will bring my way

Whatever challenge comes today

I'll be fine because I’m strong enough

 

           (Chorus)

 

I put my knee upon the sand asked if you would take my hand

moving forward everyday with our arms wide open

a fellow traveler on the road and a loving hand to hold

with your love I can do anything

because with you I’m strong enough

because with you I’m strong enough

 

 

wherever this road leads me

and when the hill becomes too steep

I will rise because I’m strong enough

 

and when life pushes me down

what was lost will soon be found

ill get it back because I’m strong enough

and

           (Chorus)

 

Whatever life will bring my way

whatever challenge comes today

I'll be fine because I’m strong enough

The best decision of my life was asking you to be my wife

thanks to you now I’m strong enough

    Chorus

 

 

Belize

 

Belize

Set out on the Caribbean sea

Belize

The warmest people you could ever meet

 

 

let’s catch a boat out to the cays

find some fish along the reef

barbecue em right there on the beach, mon

Hang out with our new friends

Singing songs and laughing through the night

It feels so right

In sweet Belize

 

Belize

Take a trip to Cayo in the spring

Belize

Listen to the howler monkeys sing

Belize

Sit and watch the parrots in the trees

 In Belize

 

let’s catch a boat out to the cays

find some fish along the reef

barbecue em right there on the beach, mon

We'll hang out with our new friends

Singing songs and laughing through the night

It feels so right

In sweet Belize

 

Belize

I can't stand to leave you

Belize

So glad that I came

You're a part of my soul now

I will never be the same

Belize

 

take me back to ambergris

 We'll find some fish along the reef

barbecue em right there on the beach, mon

We'll hang out with our new friends

Singing songs and laughing through the night

It feels so right

In sweet Belize

 

 

 

 

 

You're Talking Again

 

 

In the morning when my feet hit the ground

Till the time when sun goes down

I hear you,

You're talking again

 

What did you tell me just the other day

That you returned and you're here to stay

And you,

 you're talking again

 

(Chorus)

   Come on down here

   says the ocean to the moon

   Let the water wash right over you

   Sometimes I pretend

   that I don't hear you my friend

   but I know you'll be talking again

 

I live with you in and out of my life

Either way things just don't seem right

Oh no,

You’re talking again

 

The sea is calm on the surface you know

But deep below lives the under toe

Like you,

You're talking again

 

(Chorus)

 

I hear your voice in the middle of the night

You're telling me that the world ain't right

Oh no,

You're talking again

Who's to say that you got it wrong

You go away but it won't be long

 

Till you,

till you're talking again

 

 

moment

 

Met a music man by the sea

 played his music gently

The sun set over the ocean

what a sight to see

The soul said hello

eyes could see endlessly

colors light up the sky for this moment

say goodbye

 

          (Chorus)

In this moment I hear your voice

in this moment we take the time

Open up and let me know where life has taken you my friend

soon we'll go our separate ways but for now I want to stay in this moment

oohh I'm in this moment

oohh I'm in this moment

 

Resting on the cliff sits the music man

a beaming stream of sunlight turns into the night

The ocean is a tabletop the sun rolls off the other side

Reflections on the moment they just shared tonight

 

            (Chorus)

 

 

 

 

I Come Home

 

Tonight’s going to be a long night

Cause I know that look in her eyes

Time to head out and take a ride

Cause I don't want to hear it this time

I can't be here right now, but we'll be fine somehow

I come home

I come home

 

Well we spent days at a distance

But we could never be apart

Life’s too short for the battles

with the one who owns all of your heart

So before I go to bed tonight

I'm going to end this stupid fight

And I come home

I come home

 

I come home

I come

Well I

Spent some days down in the canyon

And I

Spent some time up on the hill

Saw a new moon rising up above me

Saw my own shadow linger in the air

And when I feel too heavy for the ground

You know where I'll be found

I come home

I come home

I come home

I come

 

 

 

 

 

It Is

 

It is what it is, that's what you told me

It is what it is. We had a good run

It is what it is. Like mama taught you

It is what it is. it is what it is.

 

How can a man leave his children and wife

why does my brother need to fight for his life

why does a soldier have to come home scared

it is what it is. it is what it is

 

                  (Chorus)

 

what ever happened to peace and love

what ever happened to making future plans with happy endings.

what ever happened to our little world

you can try to find the reason why

but it is what it is

 

A hard working man can't pay his bills.

A senior can't buy prescription pills

A high school teacher lost his job

it is what it is. It is what it is

 

                  (Chorus)

 

One day I lost my way

Walked the road less traveled

Found my way home

to see my problems followed me

 

and it is what it is
