Endure

The truth is

people are truly suffering

that's nothing new

but turn on the news

and what do we see

lives lost

killed by Harvey

homes destroyed

people forced to rebuild

and start over

while we sit here

feeling sorry for ourselves

complaining

afraid to rebuild

believing life is over

taking air for granted

without checking our pulse

or putting our hand over our hearts

not to pledge allegiance 

but to prove a point

the truth is

people are truly suffering

but if their hearts still beat

there's no storm they can't weather

Now (Again)

How many times have you been here
it seems like too many to count
but here you are yet again
second guessing yourself
wondering what you're truly capable of
can you do the things you say you can do
and will you really do those things 
or are you simply all talk
and nothing more than wasted potential
if you want to know the truth
you're too old to be wasting potential
time waits for no one
so don't expect it to wait for you
especially when you're sitting here
second guessing yourself
wondering what you're truly capable of
there's more to you than this 
but you're afraid to make a decision
the one that'll probably change everything
so if you don't make that decision now
that decision will be made for you
and everything will change no matter what 
this is the second chance that you asked for
don't blow it by second guessing yourself

Entre Nosotros

Sé lo que prometimos
que no habría secretos entre nosotros
pero si tenemos secretos juntos
debemos guardarlos entre nosotros
las cosas que nos gustan hacer juntos
con nuestros labios
nuestros manos
y nuestros cuerpos 
o la manera que sentimos cuando..
es perfectamente sana
asi que no estamos avergonzados
pero hay gente que siempre nos juzgará
llamándonos pervitidos
todos tienen un fetiche
pero no se hablan de eso
todo ese placer
y todo esa excitacíon
se quedan en la cama
en un cuarto 
llena de varios juguetes
pero no hablemos de eso
vamos a mostrarnos ahora mismo
lo bueno que somos
guardando un secreto entre nosotros
