See Me Free

(verse one)
Wishing i had the courage to make a stand, 
i know if i just try i can plan- for you to see me, in this new light where i am free! (chorus)
im breaking out, im making new,
letting go of the stress i fell into.
nothings gonna stop me now,
i found the way- i know how
to be true to me
you can see now- i am free
(verse two)
no more lies, and no more tears,
take away my sins and erase all my fears.
its time to let my light shine,
take control of this life i call mine!
(chorus)
(verse three)
now that i know that i am free
im starting to see the real me.
im done pretending and playing games
its time for me to put out the flames.
cause God is great, and God is good,
i beat the trials i have stood- in the light of Jesus Christ, where everything shines, and all is right. and now that i can see, i know now, i am free. 
(end)


So this is my first Christian song, and I kinda like it :) What do you think?

The World (To Me)

The World (To Me)
(girl)
I don't know what to say.
For us it's just this way.
I'm lookin' at stars,
Wondering where you are.
You never seemed, like type to leave.
Without even sayin goodbye.
Now if I told you, you wouldn't believe,
But, I'll write it out in the sky.
'Come home, where my love flows free,
Cause' darlin, you mean the world to me.'

(guy)
I don't know how I got here.
On the edge of the ocean.
Sometimes you seem to appear,
But I know you never got the notion.
That I just want you in my arms, every single day.
We're so far apart now,
I'll never get the chance to say
"Will you run away with me?
We can leave this town behind."
No one said we couldnt be free.
But fate has been so unkind.
Now, if  I told you, you wouldn't believe,
So, I'll write it out in the sky.
"Come be, where my love flows free,
Cause darlin, you mean the world to me'

(sympony solo/ as voices re-enter, tempo increases and music swells)
(both)
 Come be, where my love flows free,

(girl)
Come home.

(guy)
Come be with me.

(both)
Without you things just ain't the same.

(music slows down to original tempo)
(both)
Cause' darlin', you mean the world to me.(music slowly fades until only guitar is left/ end)


Okay, so I'm not gonna lie. I'm kinda proud of this one! It's my first country song and I think it's pretty good! Comments? Suggestions?

Hey there again

I can't believe that I've been ignoring my blog for so long! Sorry about that :)
I wrote another song! It currently has no name. It's a Christian song. I think it may be one of my best ones yet. I'm kinda proud! haha
So, tell me, does anyone really read this???? Probably not! haha.
But, whoever does read this, I need your help!
What kind of song should I write next?
                                                All My Love,
                                                               Jordan

I Love You

I wrote this lame song for my Bible class. I had to write a song about beauty. I wasn't sure how the song was going to play out but then a certain someone crossed my mind and the words just flowed out of my heart easily. I know I could never publish this song, due to the fact I would be sued for copyright. The song is to the tune of Taylor Swift's 'Cold As You'.  Even though I changed most the words and the meaning entirely, it is still too much like the original song. *DISCLAIMER* This song tune and melody and most of it's lyrics belong to Taylor Swift, Jordan Thornton only changed most the words and meaning. Thanks for reading, whoever you are.
                             
                                                                            I Love You
(Verse One)
You have a way of making everybody see,
And when you smile you take my breath away from me.
So you say that you don't even know what your doing,
And you're not what you want, so you'll never be wanted.


(Chorus)
Oh, what a shame, you've already given up all your hope today,
Just look this way; I've always been here searching for the words to say.
And now that I'm sitting here talking to you, I've always meant to say I love you.


(Verse Two)
You've put up walls just to keep everyone away,
And I stood there crying for you just like every day.
Then you turn away, cause you think you're unworthy,
But this love inside me will make you so happy.


(Chorus)
Oh, what a shame, you've already given up all your hope today,
Just look this way; I've always been here searching for the words to say.
And now that I'm sitting here talking to you, I've always meant to say I love you.


(Verse Three)
You never did see your true beauty,
But I've showed, taught you too, 
And I know you haven't told anybody that I said, 'I love you.' I love you.


(Final Chorus/ End)
Oh, what a shame, you've already given up all your hope today,
Every move you make, only brings you closer,
Heading back the other way.
And now that I'm sitting here talking to you, I've always meant to say I love you.






Well, that's it. Yes, it does suck. Sorry :/ Oh well, it's from the heart. And I wrote it in like two minutes. 

Guardian Angel

So, I wrote this song for my sister Jocelyn, because she inspires me. I love her with all my heart. P.S. I worte this at like Midnight while crying, so have mercy.
                                                                  
                                                                      Guardian Angel

She whispers words of hope, tells tale of what is true, she always makes me smile when she say ‘I love you’. She never gives up, she won’t lose the fight, for I know no matter what, she’s standing for the right. She comforts me and guides me, every single day. I know she’s always watching, listening to what I say.

Oh I pray, she’ll stay with me forever. Oh, I wish she wouldn’t go away. This beautiful angel, that’s here in my heart, if only she knew it’s been that way from the start. But now she’s gone and left me, here all alone, and the experience has taught me to have a heart of stone. Now I know I will not break, I’ll get back up again, this time my heart won’t break... And it’s all thanks to my guardian angel…
 

She sings sweet songs of love, and cares for all she meets. She would quickly take you in if you were out on the street. She has an air about her, that entrances all around. And when starts to laugh, people stop to hear the sound. She has determination and it makes me want to be, just like my angel, whom always seems carefree. 

Oh I pray, she’ll stay with me forever. Oh, I wish she wouldn’t go away. This beautiful angel, that’s here in my heart, if only she knew it’s been that way from the start. But now she’s gone and left me, here all alone, and the experience has taught me to have a heart of stone. Now I know I will not break, I’ll get back up again, this time my heart won’t break... And it’s all thanks to my guardian angel… 

Thank you, dear sweet girl, 
Thank you, beautiful one, 
Thank you, my wonderful angel, 
It’s all thanks to you, 
My guardian angel.



Sorry it's not too awesome ;) All my songs come from the heart and are mostly written for people <3

My First Blog

To me, this seemed like a good way to express what I'm feeling instead of just holding it up inside. So, first off let me introduce myself, my name is Jordan Carin Thornton, I am 14, I have 3 sisters, and one brother, I am also the youngest. It's my 11th year attending Wichita Christian School and I am currently a freshman in high school. I never act as young as I am and people judge and sometimes ridicule me for it. Pain is no stranger to me, but I am hoping that suffering through the hard times will prove to have some promising rewards. My parents divorced a few weeks after I turned 4 and my mother now lives in Indiana. My dad lives in Texas with his new wife Sandy, my step-mother, and Alex(step-sister,15), Savannah(step-sister,19), Joshua(brother,16), and I. My sister Jocelyn(18) Just moved to Dallas to start college at D.B.U, I miss her terribly. I have no real talents except for my voice. I love to sing. I just started writing songs and I hope to continue. There are so many talented people out there that have inspired me in my journey of becoming a singer. I have high goals for myself when it comes to my future. I want to go to Julliard Musical Conservatory of New York City and major in singing and minor in dance. From then, I plan to become a singer, and,with luck, become famous. The first actual song I've ever written is called 'Guardian Angel'. I wrote it the summer before Jocelyn left, I am very close to her and was extremely sad when she left. Okay, now that I've introduced myself thoroughly, let's get blogging.
