Anyone could end up in the break down lane
Feeling stressed & strained like they’re going insane
Thinking their efforts are as futile
As launching a paper plane in a hurricane
but you know what? Despite life’s pain
It’s not empty, not futile, not in vain
Every morning when we rise again
There is mercy, there is hope, there is Love
and that is enough

When you’re flat broke, living in your car,
when what’s left in the tank won’t get you far
you hold on to hope like a shining star
& it’s times like these, when you find out
Who your true friends are
They’re the neighbors who will help you out
Who know what Love is all about
By:J.N.R Dutton
With our faith intact we march on forward
Our only true Hope is in the Lord
I believe, wholeheartedly
He can make our most challenging mountains
crumble into the sea
Nothing w/Him is impossible, you see

The fruit of my life
has been a lot of things,
the bitter & the sweet
& hey, at least for today
I’ve still got a heartbeat
Whatever life may throw my way,
I can confidently say I’ll be alright
I can make it as long
as I’ve got a point of light
By:J.N.R Dutton
One thing I know, one thing I see
Is people have infinite complexity
We’re not all one thing, or all another
but a mixture
A mixture of our Love, and hope
Our joy & sorrow,
we’re shaped by our yesterdays & tomorrows
A mixture of pleasure & pain, a mixture of caution
& wanting to spread our wings
A mixture of a million and one+ other things

She had a haunted heart
Full of heartbreak and tragedy
by the time he came along,
she was as skeptical
of Love as she could be
but with patience and gentleness
He was bound & determined to make her see
That true Love wasn’t some far fetched fantasy
By:J.N.R Dutton
His hair has turned pure silver now
but I still recall when it was
a deep dark blackish-brown
It’s hard for me to see him growing so old
but I’m just glad he’s still around
His music more than once rescued me, seriously
by helping me out in times of misery
bringing sweet hope & wisdom to my ears
Sometimes things I desperately needed to hear
By:J.N.R Dutton
When you’re stumbling through life
& feel like you’re alone
& like you don’t know
which way to go
Just look for the Light
It’ll point the way home
By:J.N.R Dutton
To me this is one of the best descriptions ever
of what love is like:
Like there’s a thirsty man in a desert thinking he may die
but then out of nowhere, what does he find?
An oasis running through a forgotten paradise
& that sweet oasis truly saves his life
By:J.N.R Dutton
Many are coming of age in a time
where it seems like the world could end on a dime
& like everybody is losing their minds
but we can’t give up, we’ve got to keep trying
Got to love each other & continue to strive
to make the best of our lives
By: J.N.R Dutton
