you think you really know me so well but you only see pieces of me from random little snapshots from what I choose to share publicly almost everyone is on it it's a way to keep in touch with our friends but it's hard to interpret this battlefield of social trends you try to be inspiring (or bragging and obnoxious) genuine and honest (or ungrateful and rude) on social media does everyone lose? we spread our own gossip (our little media circus) starting little rumours (breaking our own news) a picture says a thousand words but not always what's true don't judge me by your assumptions and I'll forget about your self-serving quips when we aim to be offended peace isn't at our fingertips without human interaction how can we really tell what we all mean behind the walls and timelines everyone remains unseen we're positive and uplifting (or bragging and obnoxious) we're genuine and honest (or ungrateful and rude) on social media what will everyone lose? and everyone is jealous (the grass is always greener) 'cuz everyone's living the perfect life (in someone else's dream) a picture says a thousand words they're not always what they seem of course you're gonna fall apart when you compare their highs with your lows one person's mediocre pace is someone else's lifetime goal (lalalalalala) on social media does everyone lose? on social media what will everyone lose?

the world thinks I deserve the role I'm in today but I have little control over what I do and say I was trusted to be wise keep my eyes on the cause with little room to navigate these ancient laws could I really live  with one foot in each  of these two different worlds  without feeling torn in half the fate of the world is in my hands where do I stand, where do I stand I've been manipulated used as a pressured pawn my father has an agenda and he's taking me along he says our blood is thicker than the history of our land but the more I educate myself the less I understand could I really live  with one foot in each  of these two different worlds  without feeling torn in half the fate of the world is in your hands where do you stand, where do you stand I'm torn from two sides what's fair and what's right conflicting expectations when to fight or to flight I deny your power your selfish policy  I need to follow my heart and set my conscience free the fate of the world is in our hands where do we stand, where do we stand

today part 2 04:48
The first time I saw your face Was as a painting on the wall I didn't think you'd be the one Three months from when we met You asked me on a walk And I saw your smile in the sun It didn't take too long Before I figured out That love had taken me by surprise It took some time before You said those three small words But I always saw it in your eyes And I know it's cliche But it's our wedding day We were meant to be together In every way It took over four years To get to where we are here We were meant to be together Today We've been through many trials Challenges and pain And there are still hard times in store for us But each day we face we'll make a Promise to ourselves To love, respect, and always trust And I know it's cliche But it's our wedding day We were meant to be together In every way It took so many years To get to where we are here We were meant to be together Today I've spent my life searching for you Your love makes all my dreams come true I love you more than words could say We'll face whatever comes our way Each time I see your face It's painted on my heart And my life will never be the same When we've seen better days and when our plans go astray We are meant to be together Anyway Laughter, joy, forgiveness, tears For the rest of our years We were meant to be together Forever We were meant to be together Today
