Amazing Race Audition

My name is Marci. My son is Samuel.
My name is Liberty. The author of this song doesn’t know much about me.

I can run fast. I can run far.
I can run fast. I can run hard.
I am a Christian. I have ambition.
Let me on your game show.

Do you want to see my face on tv?

I can run fast. I can run far.
I can run fast. I can run hard.
I am a Christian. I have ambition.
Let me on your game show.

Corey’s Song

You’re a good man.
You’re a good man.
For marrying the girl straight out of school.
You’re a good man.
You’re a good man.

We’ll weather all my plans.
We’ll weather all, my best friend.
A good girl and a good man.

Mr. and Mrs.

Your lovely heart’s bold
To love someone like me
Who sees this life in the only way to be free.
“I do” forever.

We’ll make the changes.
We’ll say what needs to be said.
And then we’ll do them in our hearts and our heads.

With this ring, I thee wed to be true love to be true.
With this ring, I thee wed to be true love to be true.
To be true.

So would you join me?
Soon our flesh will be one.
We’ll live together forever and forever.

“I do” forever.

A Hymn

A hymn of my own, alone.
The weeds I have pulled, so faithless.
Maybe the rock will lift tomorrow.
Or maybe I will walk around it.

To feel kind, make kind.
The blessed are kind.
To make it, I must leave it,
All of me He left behind.

In gardens sleeping
On tables wasted.
His blood and life I pass on
Take later on the life.

Life is killing off of
Math is labor intensive.

You don’t know me.
You don’t know me.
You don’t own me.
Our ape pollution.
Unable revolution.
