She Walks in My Shoes

She paints a portrait of my spirit with that look
She's a mirror shining love to me no matter what I put
Into the space she makes for sighs too deep to voice
And she cradles all the shy shortcomings, dear as her own joys
And a light peeks through an open door
Where there'd only been a wall before
But the wall came tumbling down once I believed she knew my name
She walks in my shoes
She asks so sincere and I am free to speak
Where it's safe to welcome everything I am and don't want to be
The map of difference makers can't be writ on skill
'Cause the doing is in knowing and in being still
Well, courage takes your heart in full
Then it fills you back to overflow
And the light pours out in glassy prisms coloring your pain
She walks in my shoes
Day by day I'm finding my way through this land
And my heart produces sweeter fruit than my mind dared plant
She walks in my shoes

Beyond Me

When do I get to rest?
When do I get to breathe?
When do I get to see
The purpose beyond me?
I'll keep walking straight ahead
Toward what I can only guess
Is a better place than here
A better place than here

Because We're Friends

Because we're friends, you'll never let me down
And if you need a friend, you know I'll be around
And when all your friends don't treat you like they should
Count on me, 'cause I'm your friend for good
I'm so glad I have a friend like you
Who sees everything I'm going through
If we don't count those times you aren't there
Hey, you're just one person, you can't be everywhere
Because we're friends, you'll never let me down
And if you need a friend, you know I'll be around
And when all your friends don't treat you like they should
Count on me, 'cause I'm your friend for good
Late nights with nothing going on
Any plans you make, I'm happy tagging along
But our adventures aren't set in stone
I know it's tough to be popular, go ahead, I'll stay at home
Because we're friends, you'll never let me down
And if you need a friend, oh you know I'll be around
And when all your friends don't treat you like they should
Count on me, 'cause I'm your friend for good
Through thick and thin and side by side
A friend like you is hard to find
So I'll pour another glass and give you another chance
'Cause that's the way a friendship stands the test of time
Because we're friends, I'll never let you down
And if you need a friend, oh you know I'll be around
And when all your friends don't treat you like they should
Count on me, 'cause I'm your friend
Count on me, 'cause I'm your friend
Count on me, yeah, I'm your friend for good

Nickelodeon in 1993

Watch the window, play it cool
3 o'clock, last day of school
Sharing seatbelts in the car
Summer's here and here we are
Edy's ice cream, freezy pops
Hitting baseballs down the block
Like the old days on TV
Life is pure serenity
Bring back the memory
Of watching Nickelodeon in 1993
And it makes you feel good
Makes you feel good
Makes you feel
Volleyball, Fourth of July
Riding bikes 'round Woodland Drive
Play the Beach Boys tape again
Summertime will never end
We'll make a movie every day
Life's a playground, so let's play
3 a.m., still not in bed
I Love Lucy's up ahead
Bring back the memory
Of watching Nickelodeon in 1993
And it makes you feel good
Makes you feel good
Makes you feel
All this time
I thought the key
Was inside the TV
But it was in me
So let's play

Laura Wallace recommends:
becoming home
by Monica Laytham
This folkie-gospel-soul record was made in my home studio! Monica's got a way with words. Well, that and melodies. Oh, and harmonies too. Seriously, just stop reading this and go listen already.

A fine work of orchestral folk! This trio writes killer arrangements. It's one of those albums where you hear new nuances every time. So, you won't get tired of it, like, ever.
