Real Human Being
© Sky Nelson 2018
Verse
It's okay, I don't need you to say sorry
When your words don't come out right
I've got space to allow it to be broken
I want to feel your other side
Pre chorus
Let's be gentle, but honest, and tell it like it is
Open up a path inside
Chorus
When I think I know you, I may be wrong
You are just a part of a real human being
If I try to show you, just the better parts of me
they’re just a part of the real human being
I’m just a part of a real human being
Verse
Go ahead tell your story
I want to hear it come from you
Open-hearted is never boring
Just let me know if there’s something I can do
Pre chorus
I’ll be gentle, but honest, and tell it like it is
Open up a path inside
Chorus
When I think I know you, I may be wrong
You are just a part of a real human being
If I try to show you, just the better parts of me
they’re just a part of the real human being
I’m just a part of a real human being
Bridge
I've got a past to heal from
You got things you're scared to say
Let's not hold it all together
Cuz perfect just gets in the way
Chorus
When I think I know you, I may be wrong
You are just a part of a real human being
If I try to show you, just the better parts of me
they’re just a part of the real human being
I’m just a part of a real human being
Outro
I’m just a part of a real human being

I'll Be There For You

I'll be there for you
Sky Nelson-Isaacs © March 2018
Verse
When life has broke its promise
and tears have stained your face
when hopefulness has scattered
and worry takes its place
when your schoolwork is relentless
and your backpack is worn through
Chorus
I'll be there, I'll be there
I'll be there for you
Verse
When I see you from the outside
I see who I want to be
and it’s funny that you’re thinking
the same thing about me
When you need some reassurance
From a gentle point of view
Chorus
I'll be there, I'll be there
I'll be there for you
Bridge
If it's a race that you're running
and you think you've got to win
maybe you’ll feel better
If you let me in?
Verse
The flowers in the window
are only there because of you
and the path that I am walking
is one you helped me choose
if you forget how far you've traveled
and how much you have to lose
Chorus
I'll be there, I'll be there
I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there
I'll be there for you

Temperature Rise and Fall
Sky Nelson © 2008
Verse
She asked of me how can we become the ones we want us to become
when the barriers are rooted in, and my vote is just another leaf
on a surely dying tree
I’d rather just hide myself
so no one knows about me
Chorus
And I try with all my might make sense of it all
when a giant arctic sheet collapse is possible
temperature rise, temperature rise and fall
My world may be warming, but I can’t tell that from here
Verse
There’s something ever so beautiful about the stops and starts we take
and all the times we thought that we had had made, but look back and say
what happened here? why did nothing change?
where are my younger days? I can’t see them in my face…
Chorus
Bridge
oooo impatience gets the best of me
oooo a hailstorm of urgency
Slow, I run so fast the grass can’t grow beneath my feet
Chorus

Verse
I’ve thought a lot about the two of us
Sometimes we feel, like giving up
But there’s no one else that I’d be running to
All I want, is here with you
Chorus
I will never let you fall
I’ll stand with you the last of all
When they write the tale of your life with mine
We will stand the test of time
Verse
What lies along the road for you and me?
Is it written out like destiny?
I’m sure it won’t be what we had in mind
Drowning in a Grand Design
(I’ll be here, and we’ll be fine)
(We’ve got time, let’s wait and see
Chorus
Bridge
Hold on, hold on, hold on to me
Hold on, hold on, hold on to me

Try to open my eyes a bit
Sky Nelson October 2018
Verse (Bb)
We sit in darkness quietly
Surrounded by a boiling sea
And I, just try to open my eyes a bit
for what I've seen there are no words
The depth of how a soul can hurt so I,
just try to open my eyes a bit
Chorus
Here in the dark, I will peel back the layers of my heart
I’ll stay with you, and we’ll open to the feelings that come through
...me and you
Verse
If you take the chance to say what’s true, do you fear I’ll turn my back on you instead, of try to open my eyes a bit?
Will I try to see the things you do
With a little bit more room to move
as I, try to open my eyes a bit?
Chorus
Here in the dark, I will peel back the layers of my heart
I’ll stay with you, and we’ll open to the feelings that come through
...here with you
Bridge
Although we come from different lives
I’ll set my history aside to see your point of view
cuz under your suspicious words I hear the ways that you’ve been hurt
I want to know the way things were for you
Chorus
Here in the dark, I will peel back the layers of my heart
I’ll stay with you, and we’ll open to the feelings that come through
...me and you
Verse
I See the Light grow steadily
it's coming from inside of me
and I, I try to open my eyes

Stand for me
© Sky Nelson July 2018
I will not be minimized, shrink my size, avert my eyes
That has been already tried
and the less I need the more I disappear
I depend on you
There's no where I can go, I'm counting on you
I need you to stand for me
Give a thought to what I need
This isn't an emergency
I just need you to take a Stand For Me
You have found a garden you can go
To shutter out the pain you know
But that leaves me here on my own
To face the tyrant that is standing in the door
I believe in you
I’ve seen your courage shine when it needs to
I need you to stand for me
Give a thought to what I need
This isn't an emergency
I just need you to take a Stand For Me
There’s a risk you would be taking
If you choose my side
Certainty is not what love provides
I need you to stand for me
Give a thought to what I need
This isn't an emergency
I just need you to take a Stand For Me
I need you to stand for me
Give a thought to what I need
Please don’t give in quietly
I just need you to take a Stand For Me

It's time to move Sky Nelson 2019
Verse
It's quiet as the moon, inside this patient room
And I long to stay within these painted walls
But hidden in the night there's a truth I cannot hide
I am not done, Destiny calls
Pre chorus
I feel the hesitation, but I also feel the love
I want to take this step in faith and in trust
Chorus
It's time to move, it's time to move
There’s lightning in the air that's breaking through
The change may seem slow
The courage may be low
But I'm certain it will grow
When in your heart you know it's time to move
Verse 2
There's a line across the door, it's painted on the floor
That single step is painfully far
But I'm not staying in this seat, I know where that leads
That single step defines Who We Are
Pre chorus, Chorus
Bridge
It’s not the time to show that I’m strong
I don’t want to be content to carry on
The things that used to grab me, don’t resonate today
But my chest is lighting on fire
Chorus

I Am Willing
Sky Nelson-Isaacs 2017
Verse
Together in the darkness, a familiar space
I’m filling up the pages with alot to say
Your words are silent, they can’t find their place
But I'm still here
Chorus
I am will, willing
There is noth, nothing
That I love more than you, and I wish I knew
How to wait for you,
But I am will, willing
Verse
My mouth keeps moving, and you burn with doubt
I don’t leave a moment to hear you out
I can’t just stand here and not take charge
But I'm still here
Chorus
Bridge
I was taught to speak my thoughts when they come,
You were not, you were taught to bite your tongue, hey hey, hey hey
So many years of doubting words that appear,
Hold back, maybe you will get clear, hey hey, hey hey
I’m on stage, I’m sure of myself
I don’t give you space, I won’t ask for help
And I don’t give a damn about anyone else
But my time is up gotta try like hell
to choose for myself what kind of man I am.
Chorus

Mother Mine
© Sky Nelson, August 2018
Verse
As you lay, I watch you from a distance
You're inward eyes betray a weary soul
You place your head, on the ground where it is welcomed
I can tell you wanna spend this time alone
Chorus
Mother mine, how I long to see you happy
I want to lift the wrinkle from your brow
I've come for reassurance that you want me
Don't tell me that it's too late for that now
Verse
There are days when the past is just a memory
And your skin can feel the breeze upon your face
But today the wounds are fresh and tender
From stories that your heart will not erase
Chorus
Mother mine you have tried to give me shelter
But you had no source of comfort to endow
We can try to find some moral in the passage
Don't tell me that it's too late for that now
Solo instrumental
Chorus
Mother mine may the hours treat you kindly
May you find what piece your conscience will allow
Surround yourself with things that make you happy
I know that it's not too late for that now
Just thinking about your presence makes me happy
I'm glad that it's not too late for that now

I am willing to hurt with you
I’ll be OK with anything you choose

You can always count on me
you can always count on me
Whenever there’s changes,
and there’s no security

Sometimes you lead me
down paths against my choice
taking me places, I’d rather avoid
that don’t matter, cuz my path is you
wherever you lead me I’ll be true

Count on me when there’s emptiness around you
Count on me, when the empty is inside
Count on me, when you need some solid ground
I’ll be that place you can hide

Building you up
Sky Nelson-Isaacs 2018
Verse
I'm sorry, the words that I said were not kind
I argued and troubled your mind
With nothing to gain but a long way to descend
I’m sorry, rather than cling to my side
I’ll find where the injury hides
There’s so much to gain and so little to lose
Prechorus
Friends we are, and friends take time to unfold
But I'm not going to leave
Chorus
Building you up is all I want to do
Earning your trust is how I learned from you
We got the strength to see it through
Building you up is all I want to do
Verse
I'm sorry, it's scary to me to be wrong
So I fight back and hope that I've won
With nothing to gain but along passed to defend
PreChorus, Chorus
Bridge
I want to feel my love for you

This is Our Lives
Sky and Eliana Nelson Isaacs © 2015
Verse:
I love the way we spend our days
Never knowing what we're going to say
I hear a subtle Harmony
That weaves between us quietly
Chorus:
Not a day will pass before my eyes
Unnoticed or sacrificed
Nothing happens here for gran-ted
This is our lives
This is our lives
Verse:
There's a power in the words I say
That I can give but never take away
The best I can do is show my heart
And though the hurt I cause may leave a mark
Chorus:
Not a night will pass when I won't try
To lift you up before you close your eyes
Nothing happens here for gran-ted
This is our lives
This is our lives
Bridge:
Before I met you my life seemed so long
Now my greatest fear is I'll be gone
Nothing happens here for gran-ted
This is our lives
This is our lives
