Free My Blue Birds

Chorus
Oh daddy, you taught me
to be strong
to have strength
where is it now?

Bridge
Free my blue birds
the one's perched on the tree
outside my window
they're so strong to me

Verse
I look for strength
beg on my knees
look for magic
to bring me through this

Bridge
O h daddy, you taught me the fragility
of the birds
the strength in the woods
where is it now?

Let them fly so high
so I can believe
once again
bring strength back to me

Chorus
Oh daddy, you taught me
to be strong
to have strength
where is it now?

Bridge
Free my blue birds
the one's perched on the tree
outside my window
they're so strong to me

Verse
Where are the snows
I hid in the winter
the graves of my ancestors
Let God gather up their royal souls

Chorus
Free my blue birds
the one's perched on the tree
outside my window
they're so strong to me

Free my blue birds

My Tears Turn to Falls

Verse
Please love, listen to me....

I was raised and taught not to talk
about all the things done
It seem hard to function.

Chorus
I could sit down and cry
till my tears turn to falls
Or I can pick myself up
and the joy that is meant for me
right now

Verse
The farmers boots don't hurt me
The food, gas and water
I don't mind
I want to put everything in a box
where I feel there's no harm

Chorus

Verse
I think how lucky I am
to still have my rosy cheeks
and a great smile

I could look deeper than what's necessary
or see what's in front of me

I can't think of one day without you
You brought my life and happiness back to me
I have none of these without you.
I'm sorry for the path that's burdened me
has left you at times all alone.

I get ridiculed for my cutting words
my fleshed too botched for heaven

Chorus
I could sit down and cry
till my tears turn to falls
Or I can pick myself up
and the joy that is meant for me
right now

 I'm working on a composition for this song and think I have a pretty draft to at least put my lyrics to. Watch for this in my next podcast episode Lori Jean Finnila Singer Songwriter. Image by  Moondance  from  Pixabay   "I Can Overcome You" by Lori Jean Finnila Verse You take me down By one look at you Though I’m drawn to you I still have fear to face You’re so powerful Your strength takes me down At the same time  The strongest to my imagination You are outside of my conception I’ll find a way to take my steps to you Chorus Though my fear appears to be stronger Your depth is far equal to I know, I can overcome you…… Verse Your dark and long Dry and strong Holding me in my chest I can’t breathe I can’t see straight But in reality You’re just a beautiful place Am I to  move on from here And feel my true beauty and resilience I feel I need to take these steps And once I’ve done this They’ll be so many more I know,  so sadly But so true Chorus Though my fear appears to be

 This song comes from me looking down at the waterfront where I live in Portland, OR. I don't go down to it, I just look down toward it. I can see the bikes and people. Hear the noises coinciding with it from afar. Yet I hold my breath and clutch my chest to the what the remembrance of that spot brings to me. I'm still working on this emotional feeling. Image by  Jason Goh  from  Pixabay   Verse You take me down By one look at you Though I’m drawn to you I have to face the fear You are powerful Your strength takes me down At the same time strongest to imagination You are outside of my realms I’ll find a way  To take my steps to you Chorus Though my fear appears to be stronger Your depth in advancement Is far equal to I know I can overcome you Verse Your dark and long Dry and strong Holding me in my chest I can’t breathe I can’t see straight When I try to look at you But in reality You’re just a beautiful place Am I to  move on from this place And feel my true beauty and resilie

A Bit of a Poetry/Prose “Dead Woman in a Park” #unreasonableexpectations #lorijeanfinnila

 This I felt so strongly within this past hour. I could feel the coldness of how unimportant she was. I do remember her as an important woman. News Article Image by  Nicole Turner  from  Pixabay   What is the difference between this beautiful woman who is trying to find her beauty and strength in a tent?  A Woman's Struggle With the Fear of Camping Alone Unreasonable Expectations written by Lori Jean Finnila You are lost now not knowing what you see so sure of your fear before you die As you lay here dying no one hears you crying you eventually die eventually others who know your pain cry In the beauty of nature you find your last home perhaps finally feeling the safest ever perhaps it was a wanderer perhaps it was your fear that took you to your last day here I will remember you I know your journey I know your path I am a woman too who couldn’t fit into what was expected of us We all know too much we can’t fit into this triangle   of expectations that are unreasonably put upon us
