Verse 1
I was stuck, I was trapped in the silence
Like a bird that was caged from it's purpose
Had me bound and perpetually nervous
Every day was a fight to the finish
Pre-Chorus 1
Paper tigers, and false fires
I bet you loved seeing me lost and tired
Chorus
No more chains holding me, I feel weightless I can fly
I can float, I can coast, I am fearless, oh
Take a deep breath now, let the air fill your chest now
Open your mouth, let it out
I can breathe, I can breathe, I feel so free, I can breathe
Verse 2
Screamed myself wide awake from the nightmare
Cold sweats, tear stains and the darks' stare
Break of dawn, orange sun, pink skies there
Air is clean, breaking free, gettin out of here
Pre-Chorus 2
Paper tigers, false truths, liars
I think I'll be alright, I think I'll be alright
I think I'll be alright
Chorus

Verse 1
Where’s that app on my phone that records ya
Can’t believe I need it cuz it’s been so long
Hit the button start strummin these chords
Feels so good to be writin a song
Gotta be honest kinda lost my way
Got so hard to focus in and just create
Somehow I found the strength to steady my heart
Block out all my fears and say
I just want this music
Gotta get away and just go listen
I want the rhythm and the melody
Cuz that’s what makes me happy
I just want this music
Verse 2
I wanna hear a symphony let it surround me
Fill every cell of me explode like electricity
Notes crescendos virtuosity
Skill sound and technicality
Words phrases flow outta me
Easy like when I breathe
This is where I was made to be
Hook
Sometimes situations get the best of me
I’m only human it happens naturally
But it’s not worth walking away
No it’s not work walkin away
Hook
Vamp
I just want the music

Verse 1
I'm in love, so in love
I can't hide it if I tried
I saw you in my dreams, and I can't believe
You're in my reality
Pre-Chorus
You warm me up from head toe
Make me feel good down to my soul
You bring me joy I never known
You are just the high I need
Just a little bit of your caffeine
You fill every part of me
Chorus
My coffee, my sweet tea, you're my favorite drink
My coffee, my sweet tea, you're my favorite thing
Love, love, love, love
Verse 2
I feel so safe in your arms
No matter what is goin on
Can't go a single day without you
You make everything feel alright
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
I just can't get, can't get enough
I'm so addicted to your love (4xs)

Verse 1
Everything that is has already been before
Times will change the same situations still remain
Lives and loves are lived and lost, begin and end
On goes the cycle life just goes on and on, and on
Chorus
The thing that has been, is that which shall be
That which is done is, that which shall be done
There's no new thing under the sun
There's no new thing under the sun
Verse 2
Problems same solution, words the same meaning
History seems so non-existent with it's constant repetition
But You are everything, and everything is Word
Nothing added nothing changed
Chorus
No hay nada nuevo bajo el sol
No hay nada nuevo bajo el sol
No hay nada nuevo bajo el sol
No hay nada nuevo bajo el sol

Lovely Day

When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
It’s gonna be a lovely day
It’s gonna be a lovely day
It’s gonna be a lovely day
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Oh Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
Chorus
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Every time I see your face, I remember your warm embrace
Every time I see your face,I remember you’re here to stay
It’s gonna be a lovely, it’s gonna be a lovely, it’s gonna be a lovely day

Verse 1
Every kind word is a ray of hope and
Every smile is like the summer breeze
Every hug is like the promise of th morning
Reassuring there is more to the story and
Every thoughtful deed is a planted seed watered by love continually
It keeps my world spinning round and round
It keeps your world spinning round and round
It keeps our world spinning round and round
Chorus
Will you be my sunshine
Will you be my sunshine
Will you be my sunshine warming my heart
Will you be my sunshine Warming my life
Verse 2
Every time you reach inside yourself and
Take from your own life and share with someone else
Every time your thoughts and prayer reach out
From just your own situation to others whom are around
Every thoughtful deed is a planted seed watered by love continually
We can be building bridges
Hearts can be truly mended
If we just had more kindness now
I can be your sunshine
I can be your sunshine
I can be your sunshine warming your heart
I can be your sunshine warming your life
Vamp
Be the change that you wanna see
Be the change that you wanna see
Be the change that you wanna see
If you want the flowers you gotta plant the seed
Everybody spread love, love

Do I go right or left
Do I go east or west I wish I knew
I thought by now I’d see
Thought I’d know everything I’d need to know
Which way to go
When will I know, when will I know
Chorus
Oh, lalalalala…
I always played it safe
Did everything I could to set the stage
Now what am I to do
My compass broke how do I get to you
I’ll travel this road where it goes
Chorus
And I know if I keep movin’ forward he will guide me
No my heart won’t steer me wrong it knows what my eyes can’t see
While my hands feel around this dark cold world there’s a hope I know
That one day I’ll find exactly what I been lookin for
Spoken word:
Run free and far
Farther than your imagination can soar
Let go of the weights
Hurt, pain, rejection; let the weights go
And soar
Don’t look back with eyes of regret
Tumbling farther into the abyss of behind and not there yet and what if and I wish
But run wild and free
Free from expectations and go forward
Move ahead
Onward and upward to the winds of change and possibilities

Verse 1
Intervention
Interruption
Between you and me
Ain’t no difference inside we’re all the same
Clouded vision
Cold hearts bad judgement
Can’t see the forest from the trees
When will we really be free
Chorus
Each one reach one
Each one teach one
Everybody
come together, come together, come together
change the world
Verse 2
Skin deep, soul search
Higher learning
Enlightenment, changes mindsets and heart sets need new depths
No excuses for ignorance
Too much knowledge
When will be learn, lets makes some progress

V1 Turned on the news the other day
Some things happened I’m afraid to say
Can’t believe the world today
How can this be land of the free home of the brave
Chorus
We need more love
V2 It’s hard to tell what’s real from fake
When folks will lie with a straight face
How can we know right from the wrong way
When will we finally see change
Chorus
Vamp
Grab your neighbor by the hand
Be good to you fellow man
Maybe we can start again
Come on and take a stand
Love, love, more love
