Lissie - Watch Over Me (Official Audio)

"I'm so pleased to be sharing my new (old) song "Watch Over Me" with you all! It's a song that I wrote when I moved to LA in 2004. I had dropped out of college and moved to this wild, busy city where I barely knew a soul! I was moved, in a spiritual moment, to say a little prayer for protection as I navigated my early 20's, big city life and the music industry. I'd been studying abroad in France just prior to my move and was also partying a lot back then, so I found this song to be very grounding to write and perform."

Lyrics:
I was sitting on a rainbow
waiting on a train
or perhaps a big old airplane
or a fancy limousine

and I have to be getting somewhere
there’s so much to see
but Lord, won’t you watch over me

I was speaking French to strangers
in the Vegas afterglow
all coc’ed up, my mind all stuffed
but I still enjoyed the show

and I have to be getting somewhere
there’s so much to see
but Lord, won’t you watch over me

and I’ll grasp the land
in my big hungry hands
but even then I can’t see

and I’d get mad
but it is as it stands
so why let it bother me

I was looking for a scapegoat
traveling town to town
lookin for that special man
to help me settle down

I have to be getting somewhere
there’s so much to see
but Lord, won’t you watch over me…

Dear Lissie, heavanly as always! I just wanted to say, since i saw your clip (Bad Romance), yeah some time ago 😉, you stole my heart 💖. I bought all of your records (The versions with signature and T-shirt)! I had a ticket to see you, in Amsterdam (about 5 or 6 years ago), but i couldn't, cause my health was going bad. We actualy spoke about that on Twitter (still honored). Days have become darker and darker for me, but Further Away, is still my ringtone. There's not a week going buy, that i haven't listened to your angelic voice. It still mesmerizes me up until today, and gives me strenght. I think, i just wanted to say, Thank you 🙏 dear Lissie. Bless you, and stay safe, and keep giving humanty, this Joy and comfort, with your Beautiful voice and songs. Lots of love, Stefan 💋 💖

"THE TRUTH. 5"
It's time to realise
your a flawed Human being,
the harder you try
to hide from the the truth!

You must find the flaws
in Your beliefs, but don't apologize
For the mistakes you've made!

Because
We never lose,
we win or we learn
And there are are some hard
Lessons learned!

And so we adapt to our own
Personal experience and
Move on stronger for it!

Regardless your race,
language Or faith,
we all breathe, eat and sleep
Were born innocent and free!

Free from greed and hate,
And I'm ashamed of our race
And how we treat each other!

Our abuse of our world
So blue and abused,
A human disgrace of a race
Look what we've became!

Past tense,
because,
we learned
This behaviour,
all these flaws
In our nature!

We all have a choice to choose
To change our own minds
And Take control of our own lives!

To Own up to the fact that
Your learned all these flaws
From a world gone mad!

Your beliefs are not your own.
Because you learned to crawl
Walk and run, how to speak
The words you've spoke!

You've adapted your behaviour
To suit your environment
And you grew from an infant
Free from opinions,

And learned all these things
You know, and right or wrong
You know the fuckin difference!
But continue going through
The motions Kidding yourself on,
You don't know something's wrong!

We all walk our own path
And to make up our own minds
About the truth in our hearts!
Be honest about how you feel
About the world around you!

To hate is a choice,
And you can learn
To forget it,
or at least to forgive it!
And learn to control
your behaviour
How you act,
and treat the people
And world round you!

And don't be fooled thinking
Our emotions control us,
They are a built in compass
To steer and protect ourselves
And you can learn
to control Them
By getting to know Yourself
Better than anyone else!

Learn to trust your own instincts
And forgive everyone who has
Done wrong by you,
"lead by example"!
Instead of dragging hate around
Fuck emotional baggage!

Keep cool and keep calm
and believe In your heart,
that you will find
the answers
to all Of life's problems,
by only dealing with problems
With a positive outlook!

Positive thinking can be learned
Just like everything else,
So take control over mind
Because it's does Matter
Take a leap of faith just to
See what can happen!

Don't live to regret things,
You could've made happen
Garenteed that'll be worse than
The mistakes we look back
And laugh at,

"ONE LOVE TO THE WORLD"

May we all find the lives
Filled with everything we try for,
Better to fail, look back and laugh
Than to die fool of regret
For Not Taking chances!!!

From Bonnie Scotland


As an honest expression
Of how I see this world
For my son Jamie"Garry"Crossan

Inspiration came from your Auntie
Emma" Boney Em" McMillan
Who I spent my 37th birthday with
And she made me believe in myself Again,
at long last, she helped Me see
that I've have a gift that I was
Embarrassed to share,
but to express
Myself honestly means im free
To explore my potential and to write
About all the things we think to ourselves
But very rarely say out loud to the world,


And she's the Reason
I wrote this for you Jamie,
So make Sure you thank her properly please,
For being the real friend
who inspired me
To become my true self again!

May your life be long and honest son
And you become a better man
Than I ever was before you were born!

I was, and still am a novice at life,
But will continue to learn from
The mistakes that I make,
To become the Father & role model
You deserve in this world!

And It's the one thing I'm 100% sure of
That You are my Greatest achievement
And you will have all the love in my heart
So you can feel and believe in the truth
To see for yourself that we all make
Mistakes and no one is perfect!

And that love and forgiveness
Is the real gift from God in this world son,
so I hope that this helps prove this To you,
and I will try my hardest to teach u These things,
until it's time that I go home to my father in heaven
were all my family And friends who've past are waiting for us!

Just be the best you can be at whatever You Do,
and just know that me and
Your mum will have your back 100%
and when I've gone home, look up from
Time to time so I can see you smiling champ!

God, gave his only Son To die for our sins,
because it's like i said Jamie
No'one who has ever been born on this
World, Except Jesus Christ Our Lord
has, is, or will ever be perfect!!!

"One love my son from your Dad"
