lyrics

I've broken a cycle
May it never return
It took long and hard looks
To finally learn

Now I know what it takes
To be peaceful and strong
To be happy and loving,
My whole life long

When the time came
I let my feelings be
When the time came
I set my spirit free
Extinguished the anger
And put down the blame
I did what it takes
When the time came

I've gone through some changes
They were worth the pain
I shouldered the heartache
But so much was gained

I journeyed so deeply
So deeply inside
I read that old screenplay
That played in my mind

When the time came
I let my feelings be
When the time came
I set my spirit free
Extinguished the anger
And put down the blame
I did what it takes
When the time came

Sure I was scared
of how I might change
Still nothing's more frightening
than staying the same

When the time came
I let my feelings be
When the time came
I set my spirit free
Extinguished the anger
And put down the blame
I did what it takes
When the time came

Jason Didner recommends:

Liftoff
by Crosstalk Club

An energetic rock album with all kinds of clever lyrical twists and turns. This will liven up your daily commute. "The Green and the Gray" is relatable; "The New Old Days" deep while fun. Jason Didner

Broken Heart
by Amanda Rose Riley

Contains some "Wish I wrote' em" songs like "Electricity." Amanda wears her intelligence on her sleeve and the results are quite pleasing. Clever lyrics paired with clean, bright vocals and guitar. Jason Didner

A Ghost You Cannot Leave Behind - Volume 2
by Dansped & The Carpool to Oblivion

Funky. Full of surprises. Beefy electric guitar tones and crisp acoustic. Car humor on "Little Red Escort" plays right to the soft spot in my Jersey rock heart. Get this one and Part 1! Jason Didner
