Sunshine Back To Me
A story about the pain of loss
Johnny R Sunshine Back To Me
Woke up to a quiet house this morning coffee’s cold where you used to be
Ain’t no footsteps down that hallway just echoes keep calling me
Pictures hanging look like strangers don’t feel like this place is mine
Every little thing reminds me how I lost you one slow goodbye
I’ve been driving past your old street like it might turn back time
Radio keeps playing our song, but it don’t sound right tonight
Your jacket’s still here in the doorway I don’t have the heart to move it
Cause letting go feels like leaving everything we had,,,. is just gone
Can someone sing the sunshine back to me
The pain is real and the hurt is all I see
My life gone upside down I just want to turn it all around
Won’t someone bring the sunshine back
Won’t someone play the sunshine back
Won’t someone sing the sunshine back to me
Bridge 1
There’s a sunrise out my window, but it don’t shine like before
Colors faded with your leaving like light don’t reach this door
Still, I keep on holding onto every promise we once made
Hoping somehow in this darkness there’s a light,,, that didn’t fade
If I could turn back every minute, I’d take the hurt instead of you
I’d find a way to fix the broken and rewind what we went through
But time keeps moving like a river and I’m stuck here on the shore
Just waiting on a little sunshine like I’m praying, ya I’m prayin,,, for just one more
Can someone sing the sunshine back to me
The pain is real and the hurt is all I see
My life gone upside down I just want to turn it all around
Won’t someone bring the sunshine back
Won’t someone play the sunshine back
Won’t someone sing the sunshine back to me
I ain’t sleeping like I used to just watching shadows on the wall
Every night feels a little longer since you ain’t here at all
People say I gotta move on, but they don’t know where to start
Cause every road I try to walk down leads me right back,,, to your heart
Can someone sing the sunshine back to me
The pain is real and the hurt is all I see
My life gone upside down I just want to turn it all around
Won’t someone bring the sunshine back
Won’t someone play the sunshine back
Won’t someone sing the sunshine back to me
Can someone sing the sunshine back to me
The pain is real and the hurt is all I see
My life gone upside down I just want to turn it all around
Won’t someone play the sunshine back
Won’t someone play the sunshine back
Won’t someone sing the sunshine back to me
Yeah, I’m still here in the shadows just knowing someday I’ll see someone sing the sunshine back to me……..

We Can Be Unbroken
Story of childhood abuse, addiction, despair, hope, healing, ownership of self
Johnny R
We can Be Unbroken
When I was just a boy, my life was such a joy
Until they came and took her away
When I was just a boy, they made me a man
Did things to me most wouldn’t understand
The damage was done life was not fun
The world seemed like such an evil place
Had nothing left to give really didn’t want to live
But I knew there had to be a better way
Three years of pain became an unholy drain
Took a lifetime to make it go away
I worked hard everyday and found a better way
Now I know we can be unbroken

Angel Of The Day
Written For Alice while she came into the room, song off of Dead Tree Down, summer of 2027
Johnny R
Angel Of The Day “
You’re my angel in the morning
You’re my angel every day
I feel the dark clouds rolling over
But we’re moving into brighter days
When the shadows start surrounding
You’re the light that finds my way
Every step feels like forever
But you wash the night away
You’re my angel of the day
Shining through the dark when I’ve lost my way
Take my hand, never let me stray
You’re my angel… my angel of the day
There must be something about us
I think I loved you from the start
Every moment spent together
Pulls you closer to my heart
Like a fire in the silence
Like a spark I can’t contain
Every touch is like a promise
Burning through me in the rain
When the night tries to pull me under
You’re the fire, you’re the cure
Hear my heart, every word I say
You’re my angel, angel of the day
You’re my angel of the day
Shining through the dark when I’ve lost my way
Take my hand, never let me stray
You’re my angel… my angel of the day
And I don’t wanna lose this feeling
When the world fades into grey
You’re the reason I keep breathing
You’re the light that pulls me through the pain
When it all comes crashing down
You’re the voice inside the sound
Calling me to stay
You’re my angel of the day
“Stay with me…” “Never fade away…”
“You’re my angel…” You’re my angel of the day
Angel… of the day…

Standing Strong
Victory Song, song off of Dead Tree Down, summer of 2027
Johnny R
“Standing Strong”
When you see me coming, you know that I broke through,
I will be the one standing strong, and running home to you.
If you feel the power, that’s storming cross the ground,
For you, you’re my life, I would lay it down.
I’ve been lost in the shadows, fighting every doubt,
Hear the world like thunder, but I won’t back out.
Through the fire and the silence, through the darkest blue,
Every road I’m running, leads me back to you.
Every scar’s a story, every fall’s a climb,
I was made for this moment, I was built for this time.
Hear my heart like a drumbeat, breaking every wall,
I can feel you calling, I will give it all.
When the night gets colder, and the lights burn low,
You’re the spark inside me, that will never go.
In the chaos and the roaring, you still calm the storm,
In your arms I find the place, where I belong.
Now the sky is breaking, I can feel the rise,
Every dream awakening, right before my eyes.
Hear the crowd like thunder, feel it in my veins,
I will keep on standing, through the wind and rain.
Every scar’s a story, every fall’s a climb,
I was made for this moment, I was built for this time.
Hear my heart like a drumbeat, breaking every wall,
I can feel you calling, I will give it all.
This is my forever, this is who I am,
I won’t fade or falter, I will make my stand.
Through the fear and fire, through the storm I run,
Every step I’m closer, I’ve already won.
You’re the reason I begin,
Every breath I take, every sound, every thought
You lift me off the ground.
I won’t break, I won’t bend,
With you here until the end,
Hear it now, hear it loud
We’re unstoppable now.
Stand strong! Stand tall! We won’t ever fall!
Through the fire, through it all, we will stand strong!
Stand strong! Stand tall! Hear the victory call!
Running home where I belong, we stand strong!
When you see me coming…You’ll know I broke through…
I’ll be standing strong…Still running home to you…
Ooh…To you…To you… Ooh…To you…To you… Ooh…To you…To you
