MY KICKING FEET
I’m in love, with the lonely one
Rising up, with the morning sun
Calling out, into the night so loud
Catch a breath, before we feel the heat
Before we feel the heartbeat
I’m not the one that you thought I was
Where were you, as I began to drown?
Though I might, not have it all down
I think you might, wish you had me around
Until from me you hear no sound
Ooo, where are we going from here?
Ooo, will we travel without fear
I wanna play, this one close to the vest
Keep it tucked, in close right next to my chest
Though I might, might not have it all down
In the hurricane, you’ll want my kicking feet
Before we feel the heartbeat
Ooo, where are we going from here?
Ooo, will we travel without fear

I’m A Fighter (Remix)
'Cause nothing's coming easy through hard times, I fight for mine.
Yeah, I'm a fighter.
When I'm down 'n' out,
I'm a fighter.
There's no turning back.
Yeah, I'm a fighter.
I can take it all.
I have a gift.
Left, right swingin' my fist.
Bring in the diss.
Jump punk, see what you get.
You don't know zip about the size or weight of my chip.
That's resting on my shoulder boulder makin' me tip,
Makin' me sick, maintain fully equipped.
'Cause I'm here to bring the ruckus, toughness
Ready to rip.
'Cause I'll cross-step, jab, jab, steady and swift.
If the fight comes to me, believe I'm endin' it quick.
I sting and I stick
bob weave, leaving a stitch
Quick, stay out the mix
When I'm heaving my fists
Believe when I hit that I lean into
where you're weakin' and bleedin' and leavin' dreamin'
It's lights out, kid.
I'm a fighter
'Cause nothing's coming easy through hard times, I fight for mine.
Yeah, I'm a fighter.
When I'm down 'n' out,
I'm a fighter.
There's no turning back.
Yeah, I'm a fighter.
I can take it all.
I swing with the heavyweights
Swing with the heavyweights
I swing with the heavyweights
The heavyweights
I'm one champion.
Beat me, defeat me-it can't be done.
Yeah, I'm the one champion.
Beat me, defeat me - it can't be done.
Yeah, I'm the one champion.
Beat me, defeat me - it can't be done.
Fool, I'm the one champion.
Beat me, defeat me - it can't be done.
So come test the best
Yes, cash you some
I don't back down, punk out, submit, or run.
I'm Gas the gun.
Outlast the dumbdumbs humdrum
young bums blacken their eye some
'Cause nothing's coming easy through hard times, I fight for mine.
Yeah, I'm a fighter.
When I'm down 'n' out,
I'm a fighter.
There's no turning back.
Yeah, I'm a fighter.
I can take it all.
I swing with the heavyweights
Swing with the heavyweights
I swing with the heavyweights
The heavyweights
'Cause nothing's coming easy through hard times, I fight for mine.
Yeah, I'm a fighter.
When I'm down 'n' out,
I'm a fighter.
There's no turning back.
Yeah, I'm a fighter.
I can take it all.
I swing with the heavyweights
Swing with the heavyweights
I swing with the heavyweights
It's lights out, kid. I'm a fighter.
The heavyweight.

SUBTLE RATTLE
My mind is turned on
It stops my feet from moving
I wait too long on dead end draws.
I fancy you on a desk
Your lips are moving
Arrest me
I need something I feel so
Long gone dead-end drawn, help!
Long gone dead-end drawn.
When the morning comes I feel a bit put on
Cuz there’s this thing you want and I don’t know
If I can make a place where the people stay
And they know their ways I’m amazed
There’s nothing to insult your rhyme
No cut-coarse elementals of surprise.
And I don’t know much by ways
Of candle-lit walls that I’d cross my heart to save.
It’s the pictures in thoughts you never quite get to.
And this waking upsets my sound decision
Long gone dead-end drawn help!
Long gone dead-end drawn

ONE FOR ALL
If you fall ill help you stand tall
If you fall ill never make you feel small
If you call I won’t ignore your call, no, no
One for all, one for all
One for all, one for all
Walk your way into a brighter day, greet that day into a better way
There’s a whole wide world you got to give it a try
Walk your way into a brighter day
Won’t build a wall between you and I
Don’t be shy you can step outside
Any problems we have we can solve
One for all, one for all
One for all, one for all
Walk your way into a brighter day, greet that day into a better way
There’s a whole wide world you got to give it a try
Walk your way into a brighter day (2x)
One for all, one for all, One for all, one for all
One for all, one for all, One for all, one for all

THE HUMAN ELEMENT
It's been a long road since we first left home
Winding as we travel these streets all alone
So much sorrow grief and pain
As millions of people try to find their way
And I find myself believing in a love we keep inside
Share it with each other no more envy no more pride
But human nature can't perform these feats I've heard them say
But it's nature's human element that's getting in the way

THE WORLD WITHOUT THE WEIGHT
long long long asleep
the fears and the wrongs are dug in deep
thirst thirst they don’t ask about
the blood in my veins is burstin out
dreams gone, dreams stay
the wind has blown the flies away
My My My despair
got no wings just waiting there
it'll roll on
it'll roll on late
the world without
the weight
Lord thanks, pray, pray
The moon the sun the dawn the day
Lord thanks, pray, pray
it aint free lord
we pay
waiting so long
hauling these wrongs
Its the dawn
we been waiting on
it's the dawn

COLOUR ME
I always leave without saying goodbye
I don’t know why
When all I ever want is to hear a silhouetted voice
Call out my name into the night
Across a crowded room backs turn, smile learned
Inside I burn
Chorus:
Cause I’m afraid of the dark, afraid of the dark
So I’ll stay grey today
Unless you colour me
Like a sunset on an ocean blue
I’ll wait for you, good old number two
I’ll wait beneath the curving grey of a breaking wave
Cause I’m afraid of asking you to love me
I’m afraid of asking you if you love me
Cause if you said no, I’d be all alone
In the dark without a candle of hope
Chorus

WAITING FOR YOU
In this world with few connections
Little support and plenty rejection
I need your light, to ease the tension
It’s good to know I have you to share it all with
Chorus
I’m waiting for you
You alone can heal this heart with your smile
Your smile, your smile
I’m waiting for you
You alone can heal this heart with your smile
Your smile, your smile
This lonely heart has found an answer
Though we’re apart I feel you nearer
You give me hope and make me stronger
It’s good to know I am the one you share your life with
Reawakening my soul
In your arms my true self unfolds
Your smile gives me purpose
Your smile ignites my bliss
You you …waiting

WE ARE HERE
And now the storm has passed, now the storm has passed, we are here.
And now the fire's ash, now the fire's ash, we are here.
And now earth has quaked, now the earth has quaked, we are here.
And now the waves have crashed, now the waves have crashed, we are here.
Though we were warned, we live dangerous.
Though we stumble and we fall, we've been here before.
Though we seem too far gone, we are here.
Though we are here, we are gone.

IT'S SIMPLE
Got a message to send to the president
And a proposition for the next press event
I'd rather your recipe for beer than policy
It's simple
These politicians never take the field
Their words exhaust like an automobile
You get you, you and I'll get me, me
It's simple
Matter of what is right and as easy as it sounds
Don't ride my bike to work, or take the train downtown
Moccasins will never tread ice again
On surfboards gators soon be hangin' ten
No matter how high the sea, what will be will be
It's simple
A matter of what is right ain't as easy as it sounds
Don't ride my bike to work, or take the train downtown
Don't piss on me and say it's rain comin' down
You ain't got the biggest umbrella around
No matter how hard it rains on New Orleans
It's simple

GOT'S TO BE STRONG
Hook:
Got’s to be strong (I’m feelin this) / Try to hold on (I’m-I’m-I’m feelin this) / Got’s to be strong (I’m feelin this) / Try to hold on (I’m-I’m-I’m tellin you-you) / Got’s to be strong (I’m feelin this) / Try to hold on (I’m-I’m really feelin this) / Got’s to be strong / Before all / All hope is gone…
Verse 1:
Just lost my job / And the bills are due / My girl just left me / Yall, I’m feelin mighty blue / My friends don’t call me / And my family disowned me / Bout to lose my mind / And I feel, I feel so lonely…
(Repeat Hook)
Verse 2:
Now I’m sleepin in my car / Five dollars to my name / Man I’m tellin you I’m down / And I’ll never be the same / Saw an ad on a bathroom wall / For a job payin twenty-five dollars an hour / Went to the interview / And the man told me I was hired! / Oh, you gotta be!...
(Repeat Hook)
Rap:
When you’re down and out, and your cash is gone / lost your job / lost your home / Nowhere to go and your spirit is low / Feelin like all your hope is gone / Don’t give up, don’t give in / Stay in the fight, dig deep my friend / Use your heart, use your soul / Tough times come to make you grow / Can’t say you didn’t know, cause I told you so / Reason why I know, I been down this road / Ain’t nothin that you ain’t overcome before / So don’t you quit, take them blows / Keep on grindin, eyes on the prize / Life or death, it’s do or die / Heard somebody say only the strong survive / Don’t you dare ask the question why…

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY
It’s a beautiful day
And the skies are blue.
Don’t mean no harm to anything at all.
It’s a beautiful way
And the heart is true.
Don’t get sad and don’t get lost and fall.
Alone on my own, alone on my own.
The friends I have on this path and road.
Sometimes it gets so dark I cry,
Sometimes it gets so bright I’m fine
It’s when I know this, it’s when I notice I get by.
It’s when I know this, it’s when I notice I get by.
Let the spirits come in
And let the music go out.
Here I am and here I’ll be throughout.
If I had a good hand, I’d raise it high
And make a sign for every eye to find.
Alone on my own, alone on my own.
The friends I have on this path and road.
Sometimes it gets so dark I cry,
Sometimes it gets so bright I’m fine
It’s when I know this, it’s when I notice I get by.
It’s when I know this, it’s when I notice I get by.
Oh-oh-oh by, ooh-ooh-ooh by
Oh-oh-oh by.
It’s a beautiful day.

AS SOON AS IT WAS
Fallin' ‘round through the clouds
can’t explain to the moon
More then known down the nights so blue
heading around to the moon
Sudden falling breeze callin' your name
sayin' that it knows how sad it is
a lonely sun in the breeze
in the breeze
Then it’s gone as soon as it was
left all alone with the moon
feels so true blue as the night
on and gone to the moon
Sudden falling breeze callin' your name
sayin' that it knows how blue I am
a lonely sun in the breeze
in the breeze

SHE IS ALL HE NEEDS
Don't worry baby, don't worry now
Don't worry baby, we have each other now
You and me can't seem to work it out
doomed to give it up
But you once said to me that you have seen where we could be
so let us trust in that
so don't give up darling
don't give up now
don't give up darling
yess we will work it out
A troubled mind waits in line to buy roses for his wife
Like when they were young
In a flash he went back how they would dance and fell in love
a smile upon his face
She is all he needs
yes she is all he needs
they have each other, will work it out,
although the world seems upside down
just hold me darling
just hold me tight
just hold me darling
cause we will be alright
I see the man walk to his car
that is parked in a wheelchair lot
His wife awaits him there
Many years since they were you
her hands are old and trembling now,
can't hold the roses that he got
but she is all he needs, yes she is all he needs
They have each other, will work it out
although the world seems upside down

I VALENTINE
CHORUS:
I do adore you
And I hope that you adore me too.
I do adore you,
And baby, it’s so true.
Wasn’t so long ago
I knew I loved you so.
The second I saw your long brown hair,
Your misty eyes that made me stare.
Baby… (CHORUS)
When you smile and look at me
Inside I have a plea.
That you will be in my arms someday
And we can laugh over coffee in a small café.
Baby… (CHORUS)
I said I do adore you… (CHORUS)
Your skin, your cheeks, your lashes too
You talk, your walk
Baby, you’re a breakthrough
Your clothes, your nose, and your little toes
Your lips that shine like a scarlet rose.
And baby… (CHORUS)
I love you, baby.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
She’s alright, she’s alright.
She’s alright, she’s alright.
Yeah, yeah I do adore you.

IN THIS TOGETHER
The sea as much yours as mine
You’re a drop in the ocean the same as I
The air we breathe tonight, take in, everyone haves the right
We’re in this together
Let’s do this forever
We’re in this together
We all got two feet touching ground on this world spinning around
The sun shining above giving all its warmth and love, love, love
We’re in this together
Let’s do this forever
We’re in this together
We’re in this together
Let’s do this forever
We’re in this together
The sea as much yours as mine
You’re a drop in the ocean the same as I
The air we breathe tonight, take in, everyone haves the right
We’re in this together
Let’s do this forever
We’re in this together
