Life Is Supposed To Be Shared

Don't Walk Away

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

I guess it's something for you to decide

you say it's over - I know but it's so hard to let go

It's like exchanging the truth for a lie

But I so want to believe that when I let you leave

You won’t walk away with my life.

Don't walk away

Some hopes may never get to be real if there's something you don't realise

and it's that all dreams will only come true when wake up and open your eyes.

I guess this bomb only you can disarm

Because if you walk down that road my heart's set to explode

I saw it coming I heard the alarms

But still now I love you so

Still hope when I let you go you'll turn back and run into my arms

Don't walk away

Some love may never get to be real unless it's something that both will embrace

and that our love may never be true is like a morning that's so hard to face

I guess it's something for you to decide

you say it's over - I know but it's so hard to let go

It's like exchanging the truth for a lie

But I so want to believe that when I let you leave

You won’t walk away - I'm begging you stay

No don't walk away with my life.

Don't walk away - when you hold my life in your hands

Don't walk away (3)

I’m Afraid, But This Could Be Real
Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

(Backing: This is it. This is real)

There are certain things of which I have no doubt
But this may take some thought, some time to figure out.
I know I want you that’s what makes it tough.
I’m just not really sure that I’ll be strong enough.

But this could be it. This could be real. It may never come again the joy that I feel.
(Backing: - this is it this is real Love’s the way I feel)
This could be right. I might be wrong running away again because this fear’s so strong.
(Backing: - This is right I've been wrong running for so long)
This could be the one___ true___ thing___, this love___ you___ bring___.
I’m afraid, so afraid, but this could be real. (This is it. This is real)

And what if some day I long to hold you near
And wonder was I right to give in to my fear.
It seems that you have everything I lack
I don’t want to spend my life always forever lookin’ back.

But this could be it. This could be real. It may never come again the joy that I feel.
(Backing: - this is it this is real Love’s the way I feel)
This could be right. I might be wrong running away again because this fear’s so strong.
(Backing: - This is right I've been wrong running for so long)
This could be the one___ true___ thing___, this love___ you___ bring___.
I’m afraid, so afraid, but this could be real.(This is it. This is real)

But this could be it. This could be real. It may never come again the joy that I feel.
(Backing: - this is it this is real Love’s the way I feel)
This could be right. I might be wrong running away again because this fear’s so strong.
(Backing: - This is right I've been wrong running for so long)
This could be the one___ true___ thing___, this love___ you___ bring___.
I’m afraid, so afraid, but this could be real.(This is it. This is real)

Love Is Forever
Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

"Time - who knows what it means"
She said "how can we really know?"
When I said "be mine - fall out of my dreams
Let my love forever hold you as it grows"

But if you don't understand forever
Then you've never been in love
Where every day is a lifetime
and even a lifetime isn't enough
A life of love that you plan together
Through the smooth and the rough
If you don't know forever
You will whenever you fall in love

Now, look into his eyes
Can you see all your yesterdays
Even now - don't tell any lies
Can you see forever and a day.

Love is forever - strange as it seems
Growing together - making real all your dreams.

But if you don't understand forever
Then you've never been in love
Where every day is a lifetime
and even a lifetime isn't enough
A life of love that you plan together
Through the smooth and the rough
If you don't know forever
You will whenever you fall in love

You See Nothing

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

Mister - when you look into her eyes - can you see past all the lines
If you don't you see nothing - no you see nothing - nothing at all
And hey sister - there's no way to read my mind
There's a lot more me inside

(Backing: And this Shell - and this shell is just nothing - No simply Nothing - nothing at all)
And this shell is just nothing - no simply nothing - nothing at all.

There she goes over there with those looks - golden hair All the men want to be by her side
But there's more to that book - open up take a look. There's a beautiful person inside.

Hey - Mister - when you look into her eyes - can you see past all the lines
(B. - If you don't - if you don't you see nothing no you see nothing nothing at all)
If you don't you see nothing - no you see nothing - nothing at all

And hey sister - there's no way to read my mind There's a lot more me inside

(Backing: And this Shell - and this shell is just nothing - No simply Nothing - nothing at all)
And this shell is just nothing - no simply nothing - nothing at all.

(Backing: You should look ___ - You should look for truth in her heart)
You should look for the truth in her heart
(Backing: Beauty hides ___- You should search for beauty that hides)

You should search for the beauty that hides
(Backing: Take the time ___ - Take the time, discover her soul )

Take the time to discover her soul. All the rest fades away with time.

Hey - Mister - when you look into her eyes - can you see past all the lines
If you don't you see nothing - no you see nothing - nothing at all
'till you open the book and then you take a look you see nothing -
nothing at all (repeat and fade)

What Part Of No Don't You Understand!

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

There's always somebody lovin' someone who's looking away
They end up pushin' and shovin' - It looks like it's your turn today
Infatuation is what it is; But I don't have to put up with this ...

When you tried to phone me; I wasn't home
When you tried to hold me; I sat all alone
Now you say you love me; Oh what am I supposed to do now?
Oh now

There's always somebody losin' love lost to looks all alone
And so they end up confusin' love with infatuation
And you don't know who I really am
What part of "No" don't you understand!

When you tried to phone me; I wasn't home
When you tried to hold me; I sat all alone
Now you say you love me; Oh what am I supposed to do now?
Oh now

What part of no - what part of go -
what part of no and let go - yeah what don't you understand?

(There's always somebody lovin' - there's always somebody losin' ah huh ah huh

You Won’t Believe It's True

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

Through the sunshine - through the rain I'll give you laughter - take your pain

You won’t believe it's true - but I love you

Through the sadness - through the heartache - I will always stand by you.

You won’t believe it's true - but I do - I love you

It may take me some time to show you that I can love you

'cause your heart's been cut deep and the wound just wont heal

But your heart can still live - you can find this out if you want to

Girl if you'll just take a chance, I could show you romance

I'll be tender with you

Through the sunshine - through the rain I'll give you laughter - take your pain

You won’t believe it's true - but I love you

Through the sadness - through the heartache - I will always stand by you.

You won’t believe it's true - but I do - I love you

So if you want to you can run - but when the day and night is done

I'll be back with the sun waiting to tell you

Through the sunshine - through the rain I'll give you laughter - take your pain

You won’t believe it's true - but I love you

Through the sadness - through the heartache - I will always stand by you.

You won’t believe it's true - but I do - I love you

- I love you - I love you

The Lake Of 31 Miles

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

Took the 105 north out of Ottawa to Maniwaki

Turned off at Bouchette then left over le pont

Lingered a while watching the Gatineau flow

Wondering 'where does it go?'

Cruising and taking it slow ..

.. here out in Quebec and I've no fear

Smiling, not even a small fear

here where creation is strong

harmony holding the song

everyone singing along

Moving on slow through dusty roads weaving and winding

Heading across to "The lake of thirty-one miles"

Sun going down - finally reaching the end

Smiling I'm greeted by friends

Looks like it's gonna be slow ..

.. here out in Quebec and I've no fear

Smiling, not even a small fear

here where creation is strong

harmony holding the song

everyone singing along

Loon on the lake - Allan and Michael are swimming

Bethel and Vaughan are finishing reading their books

Linda and Gwen are winning each other at word games

We're here in the wild but it's so tame

Everyone's taking it slow ..

.. here out in Quebec and I've no fear

Smiling, not even a small fear

here where creation is strong

harmony holding the song

everyone singing along

Content 'round the fire on the shore you can hear the lake lapping

singing our songs as we muse with the stars looking on.

Mike makes us laugh with his line in the alphabet game

for this joy and this moment we came

And dancing the fireflies glow ..

.. here out in Quebec and we've no fear

Smiling, not even a small fear

here where creation is strong

harmony holding the song

everyone singing along

I Won’t Give My Love (if you want me come and get me)

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

So if you want me, come and get me. ‘Cause I won’t go on my own.

I have been there, gave my heart away

Then she walked away with no more to say

I was left then in an awful way

Just a broken man on my own

Oh I_______ know I’ll never . . .

No I’ll never give . . . give me love again.

Hurt more time . . . More time ever . . .

More time ever than . . . . . . any man could stand.

So if you want me, then convince me. ‘Cause I won’t go on faith alone.

If you take time spending every day

You may find a way, and my heart you’ll sway.

But until then I’m content to stay just the way I am

‘Cause I’ve grown

Oh I_____ know I’ll never . . .

No I’ll never give . . . give me love again.

Hurt more time . . . More time ever . . .

More time ever than . . . . . . any man could stand.

No Oh I_____ know I’ll never . . .

No I’ll never give . . . give me love again.

Hurt more time . . . More time ever . . .

More time ever than . . . . . . any man could stand.

No Oh I________ won’t give my love

'Cause I can't give my love

(If you want me come and get me - I you don't want me I wont let me)

Reaching Out For A Hand

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

Unsteady baby walks. She reaches for a hand.

She's feeling more secure now someone's holding on - holding on.

And no one likes to fall - or even feel the fear

But if you reach for me there I'll be holding on - holding on.

Our life if full of times uncertain as the wind blows

We have to grasp the nettle - live life before it goes from our hand.

It's safer not to walk and safer not to choose

But then you're left behind with no one holding on - holding

So take some baby steps and face up to your fear

Right hear until you do I will be holding on - holding on.

Our life is full of dreams and hopes for our tomorrow

We have to grasp the nettle - live life before it goes from our hand.

Reaching out for a hand

I'd like to quench your fear - But have some of my own

If I tried to leave, I'd like to think you would be holding on - holding on.

Choose life - choose joy - take some steps and move on

Reaching out for a hand. (repeat and fade)

Sunshine And Hope Download Free Complete Song

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

I just love that in the evening in the summertime

You can wait 'till past eleven just to watch the sun go down

Then as if the hand of God Himself would paint the sky

See the fiery flames around it - as it melts on the horizon

And welcomes all the stars

From the early morning to the shiny moon

Daybreak and daylight give peace and hope

On the waves of wheat - Yeah on the shiny sea

Sunshine and God's rays will help me cope.

I just love that in the morning in the summertime

It's so early when the sun awakes to warm the window pane

and there's something 'bout the joy up in that clear blue sky

Makes it easy to imagine all of mankind's wounds will vanish.

There'll be a healing of the scars

From the early morning to the shiny moon

Daybreak and daylight give peace and hope

On the waves of wheat - Yeah on the shiny sea

Sunshine and God's rays will help me cope.

Gonna take some time just to enjoy the sky.

Every sunny hour fills me more with power.

From the early morning to the shiny moon

Daybreak and daylight give peace and hope

On the waves of wheat - Yeah on the shiny sea

Sunshine and God's rays will help me cope.

And even in the shortness of that winter day

There's still a brief reminder that the sun will never frown

Just makes it far more precious still in every way

There's hope on the horizon - If you can keep your eyes on

Times ahead not far.

From the early morning to the shiny moon

Daybreak and daylight give peace and hope

On the waves of wheat - Yeah on the shiny sea

Sunshine and God's rays will help you cope.

I Would Have Given It All

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

Just couldn’t stop thinkin’ then – it doesn’t seem right

With you there and me here alone in the night.

I felt I should be there – I should hold you tight

Just walk and talk into the daylight.

And now it’s only fair that you should know

… I would have given it all.

Chorus:

I would have given you everything

(all that you wanted – more than you needed)

Even more than gold and diamond rings

(all that you wanted or needed)

I would have given you all my love

(all that you wanted – more than you needed)

We could have shared the stars above

(all that you wanted or needed)

Even so y’know, I’m glad you came.

Nobody’s wrong or right – no one’s to blame

You can’t love me that way ‘though – it’s such a shame.

It only works if you feel the same.

And now it’s only fair that you should know …

I would have given it all ..(Chorus)

On my love

– you could float

– and just sail away

– I would have given it all

I would have given you everything

Even more than gold and diamond rings

Seasons turn and there may come a day

maybe for someone else you’ll feel this way

Then you may understand the things I say

You’ll want to give them love always.

And when you feel that way you’ll surely know

… I would have given it all

I would have given you everything

Even more than gold and diamond rings

I would have helped you live all your dreams

Made your life golden – more than sunlight beams

I would have learned to sing all your songs

And sing and serenade all night long

I only lived to make your life shine

I only wished you wanted to be mine

but that was more than you wanted or needed!

Waiting for the tide

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

He can wait - She can hide - They can drift and float

She can play - He has pride - Widen out the moat

Time may kill them - whispers shout

Time may drown while they are waiting for the tide

Waiting for the right word - the right place

The right one - that moment in time.

Lonely life - lonely lie - lonely veils in shroud

Lonely wife - lonely guy - lonely in a crowd

Time may kill them - whispers shout

Time may drown while they are waiting for the tide

Waiting for the right word - the right place

The right one - that moment in time.

Watch the wind - Watch the rain - Wait until it dies

Feel the sin - Feel the pain - Seeds not sown bring cries.

Time may kill them - whispers shout

Time may drown while they are waiting for the tide

Waiting for the right word - the right place

The right one - that moment in time.

Once Upon This Time

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

Once upon a time - you had life - you had laughter

Or was it once all in your mind - you had love

Seemed ever after

But it sailed away and tore out your heart with a lifeline

And it may or may not be true for you 'cause it's once upon a time

Once upon your heart - you had life - you had feelings

Or was it only at the start you had joy that sent you reeling

yeah it fades away and leaves a void that is endless

It may or may not be true for you 'cause it's once upon

Once upon a time.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock Tick

Once upon this time - you have life - you have laughter

But only once the clock has chimed - you'll have love ever after

That won’t sail away - it holds you close like a cradle

Yeah it may or may not come true for you

only once upon - only once upon this time.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock Tick

It may come true - it's up to you

Only once upon - only once upon - only once upon this time.

Lift Me Up

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

Lift me up - make me smile when I am feeling down (down down down)

Hold my hand - hold me tight when I am slipping down

Only you can carry me out from among my fears

Only you can rescue me while I am drowning in my bed of tears

Help me up - give me power when all my strength is gone (gone gone gone)

Show me more - my heart is blind when all my future's gone (gone gone gone)

Only you can carry me when I'm too sick and weak

Only you can pray for me when I can barely even try to speak

Lift me up - raise me high when I am feeling low (low low low)

keep me here - help me try when I just want to go (go go go)

Only you can carry me out from among my fears

Only you can breathe for me while I am drowning in my bed of tears

Only you can carry me out from among my fears

Only you can rescue me while I am drowning in my bed of tears

I Feel Nothing

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

This is one of those days - I feel nothing

Another one of those days - I feel nothing

All my nerves are disconnected - a searing virus has infected

My heart and brain rejected - I feel nothing

This is one of those dreams - I feel nothing

Another one of those dreams - I feel nothing

Knock me down and know me over - feels like everything is over

Whether blinding drunk or sober - I feel nothing

I felt bad - I felt self-blamed - felt rejected and ashamed

I felt embarrassed and confused - felt abandoned - even used

Felt perhaps - if only - maybe - just do that they'll surely take me

I tried to face my fears undaunted - felt alone and then unwanted

Powerless and then frustrated - finally just devastated

Even then just hoping somehow. - but only ending up where I am now

- I feel nothing

Lets' hope it's only today - I feel nothing

There was a time I felt elated - all of life I celebrated

Now it's too much - even hatred - I feel nothing

As sure as rain falls down in Ireland

Soon my heart will burn with fire and

I'll feel something soon I know because I'm me.

A heart can drown when tears are oceans

Better to have no emotions

But soon I hope this empty prison sets me free

Set me free 'cause I feel nothing

Let's hope it's only today I feel nothing

Wait and Listen

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

I was walking along the sidewalk when I heard a mournful cry

But I still decided to walk on by

I was tempted into turning - couldn't quite determine why

I could feel the hesitation - should I ..

Wait and listen? - turn and see?

Wait and listen? - Who could it be?

I could barely make the words out -

"No you mustn't go that way (you mustn't go that way)

- you must face the right direction today "

"Wait and listen - turn and see

Wait and listen - You could be free"

So I turned but for a moment just to give the creature peace

Now my countenance grew paler and I went weak at the knees!

'Cause it turned out - that I was facing myself!

Yes it turned out it was me!

Now it turned out - I had been facing death! (you were facing death)

Now it turns out - now I'm free! (now you're free)

So while you walk along the sidewalk, should you hear a mournful cry

Don't you hesitate to listen or you'll die

(If you don't listen you'll die)

Life Is Supposed To Be Shared

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

Hey hey Judy-Ann, what's your plan?

Can you please include a lovesick troubadour?

Hey hey, what d'ya say, although you're miles away -

Can we share a moment's treasure like before?

Is there any chance tonight that we might steal away

and paint a memory we can cherish when we're old?

We could walk and talk 'till light - come on hey what d'ya say

Share our thoughts and then our friendship will unfold?

I can promise you won’t even feel the cold.

Yeah all life's wonder, Love (God) has prepared

Hear it thunder "Life's for embracing - life is supposed to be shared"

Hey hey, what d'ya say - can you find a way?

Life without you is no where nearly half the fun

It can be twice as good - hey and so it should

when together we can watch the setting sun.

But I'm not standing here to beg you or to plead away

Won’t you listen now. I'll only say this twice.

My life's not hanging in the balance over what you say

And it's not as if I'm wanting paradise -

But if you do say yes it would be nice.

And all life's wonder Love has prepared

Hear it thunder "Life's for embracing - life is supposed to be shared"

Yeah all life's wonder Love has prepared

Hear it thunder "Life's for embracing - life is supposed to be shared"

Hey hey Judy-Ann, if you can joy instil

Judy-Ann - say you can - say you will.

It is Time To Feel Good

Words & Music By Brendan Vincent Owens

Turn off at the highway - Turn right at the sign

Turn over a new leaf - Sip some wine

Turn up happy music - Turn into a King

Turn laughter to melody and sing

It's a sin to waste such a happy day

And it's time we faced a more way

Yeah I'm telling you in reason and rhyme

It is time to feel good.

Tune into station - Tune up and then play

Tune into a frequency long wave

Burn up all the calories - Burn on your CD

Burn over and play your MP3s

It's a sin to waste such a happy day

And it's time we faced a more way

Yeah I'm telling you in reason and rhyme

It is time to feel good.

Now that your workin
