“Teardrops in The Rain” - Susan BoYoung Bailey Schabacker Catch them one by one as they fall Thought I would lose lose it all So scared just to fall But you you told me to keep standing tall Held high and look you in the eye And I don’t want to die young I don’t want to stay poor I don’t wanna be where I don’t belong And I don’t want to feel bad So tired and mad So bottled up feeling I could blow Head held high and I look you in the eye I’ve tried so hard just to live and to survive But you’ve been with me through it all (through it all) You’ve been with me So I stand tall Teardrops fall in the rain Try to conceal all the pain Just trying to stay sane Like a car veering out of the lane Just trying to stay sane Though things are not the same

“Whispers in The Rain” - Susan BoYoung Bailey Schabacker Ahs Thought I saw you movin Ithe shadows on the wall The graffiti writing hit me In the heart like a waterfall And now I’m fallen and I’m calling out your name I hear you like whispers in the rain (When I’m not near you the words don’t feel the same) Because of what once was Tomorrow’s not the same Not the same (2x) And I tried my best To forget the rest Don’t you know (2x) Yes I was a mess And did my best I let you go (2x) You were in my dreams again Like the writing on the wall Reached out to catch me Not alone if I fall

“Love Me Just The Same” – Susan BB Schabacker Try my best to be strong for you As I smile through the pain You don’t care if I have no hair You love me just the same I just wanna wake up from this nightmare I’ve been livin Try to numb the pain from all this suffering So it’s hard to be forgivin The doctors think I’m dying But I just keep on livin Not gonna hide I will survive Please don’t cry Or wonder why Feeling weak my life looks bleak Ready for a change from the pain You don’t view me any differently You love me just the same Burned out from all the chemo and cancer Still looking still searching for answers Gotta look far beyond the diagnosis Praying and hoping for a better prognosis No need to swallow my pride Thankful I’m still alive No need to cry Or wonder why I know you don’t want me To hide my face or feel ashamed You see me the way you always had You love me just the same When I’m stranded in a storm You’re my umbrella in the rain Want the water to wash away Every trace of all the pain Too scared to live too scared to die But you’re here with me every low every high How many times have I asked why God why But your love wipes away the tears that I cry So I won’t give up I will keep on trying Time is no matter Every moment counts All the tears I’ve cried But you’ve dried my eyes Doesn’t matter how unworthy I feel You love me just the same

“Broken Wings Will Heal” – Susan BB Schabacker Like a bird with broken wings Afraid to fly Feel the rush of the wind Through my feathers But I still can’t fly As the world passes by All I can do is wonder why Caught in the midst of it all But somehow you catch my fall Heart shattered like a broken mirror Jagged pieces left lying the floor But these wings will somehow heal Everything I feel is real Someday I’ll fly into the limitless sky Spirit soaring Grains of sand slip through my fingertips Tracing my name across wet sand Tide rushes in as it ebbs and flows Briefly concealing the worst of my woes As the world passes by All I can do is wonder why Caught in the midst of it all But somehow you catch my fall But these wings will somehow heal Everything I feel is real Someday I’ll fly into the limitless sky Spirit soaring Gluing together all these fragmented pieces Feeling the wind sweep/rustle through my wings

“Waiting For The Storm to Pass” – Susan BB Schabacker The light of a candle flickers on When it’s burned out it lingers on Hanging on like a fraying thread Scared like hell that I’ll wind up dead Thoughts like storms cloud up my head Letting go of what’s been said Waiting for the storm to pass Will you still remember me when I’m gone Will you still continue to sing our song You are my port in the storm Though taken away you’ve given me more Hanging on like a fraying thread Scared like hell that I’ll wind up dead Thoughts like storms cloud up my head Letting go of what’s been said Waiting for the storm to pass Will you still remember me when I’m gone Will you still continue to sing our song You shield me from the rain and hail I know all you want is for me to be well Hanging on like a fraying thread Scared like hell that I’ll wind up dead Thoughts like storms cloud up my head Letting go of what’s been said Waiting for the storm to pass We’ll still be together when I’m gone Spirit and song will all live on We’ll all live on
13.
“Free to Escape The Rain” – Susan BB Schabacker Feeling numbed and blinded by being afraid (being afraid) But somehow I have got to find a way (find a way) Pain from yesterday and today Can’t escape the rain Tears fall like raindrops Down my window pane Ooh’s Just want the pain to go away The distant memory That’s all I want it to be Reality in actuality Is not everything I see Not everything I see Cause I’ve gotta be free And I’ll eventually be Don’t need anyone’s fake sympathy All I need is true empathy Bearing my heart and soul Sometimes all I can do is pray Sometimes I feel so weak Trying not to fade away Just want the pain to go away The distant memory That’s all I want it to be Reality in actuality Is not everything I see Not everything I see Cause I’ve gotta be free And I’ll eventually be Feeling trapped by things that are unseen Don’t wanna be held back caught in between Pain from yesterday and today Can’t escape the rain Tears fall like raindrops Down my window pane Ooh’s Just want the pain to go away The distant memory That’s all I want it to be Reality in actuality Is not everything I see Not everything I see Cause I’ve gotta be free And I’ll eventually be
14.
“Know No Bounds” – Susan B B Schabacker Here I am feeling so alone Trapped in my mind I have to unwind And I feel like I’m losing all of my time But I will get up off the ground When I fall down Make the most of every moment That I’m around Doesn’t matter how much time has been lost Cause I’ve been found Hope faith and love Know no bounds Once again feeling weak and shaky I don’t know where I am This place of hesitation Has given way to desperation But I will get up off the ground When I fall down Make the most of every moment That I’m around Doesn’t matter how much time has been lost Cause I’ve been found Hope faith and love Know no bounds It’s so easy to give up But I got to keep on going I’m still gonna live it up Reclaim my life reown it No I’m never gonna give up ’m worth it and I know it Needed a friend Who understands the suffering You reach out and hear me out You help me forget the pain And I will never be the same My crying isn’t in vain I will get up off the ground When I fall down Make the most of every moment That I’m around Doesn’t matter how much time has been lost Cause I’ve been found Hope faith and love Know no bounds
15.
“With Me Through it All” - Susan BB Schabacker It hurts to stay it’s hard to go Challenging everything that I’ve ever known But I’m moving on and letting go I just had to let you know I feel like I’m waking in a prison If these walls could talk They’d tell you I’m through feeling Like it’s all a dead end But light seeps through Over me and through to you Dark shadows fall You’re with me through it all (2x) I feel like I’m waking in a prison If these walls could talk They’d tell you I’m through feeling Like it’s all a dead end But light seeps through Over me and through to you Dark shadows fall You’re with me through it all
16.
“Every Moment I’m Alive” – Susan BB Schabacker This morning I shook awake On the wrong side of the bed Trying to make sense of these Thoughts in my head The weather forecast says It’s cold and gray but I’m not gonna sit inside Hoping for a better day When I’m stuck in a rut Trapped inside my mind and body I remember It’s the life that I live It’s the love that I give Try my best to survive And I deserve to thrive Got to take another test Scared of what the doctor will say Diagnosis won’t dictate my life Put up another fight I will not fade away I’ve been running running away From this diagnosis Looking for a better outcome Prognosis is real and it’s hard to conceive Need the strength to carry on And the faith to believe It’s the life that I live It’s the love that I give Try my best to survive And I deserve to thrive Rumor has it that I’m dying of a tumor Malignant or benign I will find the time These nagging thoughts eat away at me I feel so trapped but I’m actually free I will overcome step into the sun Got no need to run Cause my life is not done It’s the life that I live It’s the love that I give Try my best to survive And I deserve to thrive I’m not afraid to go Caught in an undertow Just gonna keep on trying Got to keep on flyin Drop it like it’s hot No never gonna stop Ticking like a stop watch Through to the end of time God knows how hard I try Got to focus on the life that I live Got to focus on the love that I give Its the life that I live It’s the love that I give Try my best to survive And I deserve to thrive It’s the life that I live It’s the love that I give Try my best to survive And I deserve to thrive I remember I am here for a reason Doesn’t matter how many seasons When I’m feeling weak And I can barely speak I remember I am here for a reason Doesn’t matter how many seasons Sometimes I feel like pulling out my hair But now I don’t have any there And there’s no need to stare Sick of feeling burned out from all this suffering Praying and Hoping this was all a strange dream Distanced from reality Just trying to bite the bullet Tough as nails but I’ve got to get through it Making the most Of every moment I’m alive
17.
“Defying The Odds of Gravity (Here With Me)” – Susan BB Schabacker Hanging on like a fraying thread Scared like hell to wind up dead Thoughts like storms cloud up my head Try to forget what’s been said Not gonna let it define me Doesn’t matter how fast it’s spread The doctor’s stage four diagnosis Will not sentence me to death I can rise above look beyond this Not consumed by my fear I will live my life with passion A life free from fear Feeling like I’ve fallen Like a shooting star Dead end downward spiral But I’ve come so far Somehow defying the odds of gravity I can fight this invisible enemy Cause you are here with me (here with me) Piercing through the darkest shadows Light reveals a truth that I come to know Transcending from the depths of despair Through and beyond tunnel vision aware Stepping through to the other side I have no need to run and hide Staring up at a limitless sky I am done wondering why You and I are here together for a reason It doesn’t matter how many seasons I may feel numb done with pain But healing tears fall like rain
18.
“You Will Fly On” - Susan BB Schabacker Waking up from another nightmare You reach out your hand Don’t hide your face from me Cause I understand Don’t be afraid You are not alone Like a bird freed from a cage You will fly on Doesn’t matter if it feels like the end You’ll make it round the riverbend Doesn’t matter how dark it may seem The light will carry you from dream to dream Though it feels like an uphill battle I can carry you When the pain is too much to bear Know that I’m with you Don’t be afraid You are not alone Like a bird freed from a cage You will fly on Doesn’t matter if it feels like the end You’ll make it round the riverbend Doesn’t matter how dark it may seem The light will carry you from dream to dream Ahs

Find out more about her musical mission with this special album and the creative thought process behind it in this article in FW (Forsyth Woman): www.forsythwoman.com/local-humanitarian-singer-songwriters-mission-minded-album-supports-nfcrs-cancer-awareness-and-research-for-cures/

Motivated and inspired by loved ones, struggling, suffering, and surviving cancer, this special album is also dedicated to and inspired by them. However difficult and painful a process, not only for cancer patients, but also for the loved ones by their side, there is hope. No matter how barren their path may feel, as they brave the dark shadows and despair, the sun still shines on. And, though rain may continue to fall, like tears from the sky, rainbows form through rays of sunshine.

As a strong believer, Susan delivers a positive life message, a reminder that we are never alone, and the faith that our spirits live on forever. However short or long we are here, however many seasons, it’s always for a reason and we can make the most of every moment.

In this special 8th album, Susan hope to take the listener, and reader, of lyrics by the hand to walk in the shoes of the cancer patients and survivors. She encourages the listener to not only read their minds as if reading their personal thoughts in a diary, but also to hear their hearts and souls and to empathize with their struggles and suffering through words, feelings, and powerful songs.

Please note: Additional songs will be added through the next couple of months into May, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month. So, keep checking back and please stay in the loop on Susan BB's music Facebook page: www.facebook.com/sbbsmusic
