woman of integrity

*i recently wrote this song after being named the JACOB AMBASSADOR. i wanted to read their mission statement, and find out what being a part of this company meant. their company's values are integrity, passion, authenticity, respect and team spirit. what a great thing to be a part of! www.jacob.ca

verse
i'm just trying to make my way
through this crazy world we're livin' in
so i'm takin it day by day
and I live my life with a passion

prechorus
there's so many ways that i could go
i choose to take the highest road

chorus
because i am a woman of integrity
aware of my own beauty
living life as honestly as i know how and
i am a woman of humility
respect and authenticity
and i'm never backing down
because i am a woman of integrity
of integrity

verse
always cautious with my words
because i know they can life somebody up
instead of inflicting hurt
i choose to shower my surroundings with love

prechorus
with so many things that i could be
i work to bring out the best in me

chorus

new song in progress..

it hasn't been a very fruitful couple of months songwriting wise for me. i feel like i've been a little too busy to be really inspired. but, after a lengthy conversation with a friend the other day, i started to write this song... at the moment it's titled the suffering.

the suffering

verse
i am tired of searching for something, i can't see
and i have so many questions,
but no one has the answers i need
and it has, absolutely nothing
and absolutely everything to do with grief
because i have been waiting
and i'm oh so willing to believe

chorus
but i'm blinded by the suffering
and i'm blinded by my analytical way of thinking
i'm blinded by the pain
but mostly i'm, blinded by the suffering
the suffering

verse
i am so desperate to hold onto truth with my own two hands
my head is so full of logic, that it seems too simple for me to understand
how it has absolutely nothing
and absolutely everything to do with a friend
i've spent my whole life waiting
and i'm oh so willing for it all to end

chorus
but i'm blinded by the suffering
and i'm blinded by my analytical way of thinking
i'm blinded by the pain
but mostly i'm, blinded by the suffering
the suffering
