MODERN DAY BLACKSMITH Danny Arena/Sara Light/Jack Sundrud He stands beneath the hickory tree His mighty arms ‘a swingin’. Sparks fly, sweat drips from his eyes His steel hammer singin’. He holds a fire-red horseshoe up. The crowd begins to cheer. They just love the slice of life from yesteryear. And the tour guide says, follow me. There’s so much more for you to see. A woman at a spinning wheel You can hear it hummin’. Another works behind the loom Her harpist fingers strummin’. Weaving homespun memories of a different time Before their jobs were taken by assembly lines. And the tour guide says, That’s the way it used to be. Life was so much simpler then. Once the wheels of progress pass you by They don’t come round again. I pick up my old guitar And slowly start to pickin’. Play a lick, get out my pen, Do a little scribblin’. A couple lines of words and rhymes From deep down in my heart I tap into the magic where the music starts. And the tour guide says, that’s how it used to be. In the days before we got it all for free. That’s when I woke up. And started to wonder if I’m the Modern Day Blacksmith. Copyright © Curb Magnatone Music Publishing. International copyright secured.

SCARS VERSE Tommy pulled a cigarette from his pocket That he stole from his father Lit a match and passed it around To all the boys the playground I stared as it was handed to me And tried to decide if I was gonna be The only one who was gonna chicken out I didn’t worry I’d get addicted Or what the surgeon general said I just took two puffs and tried not to cough my lungs out CHORUS: But hey You live, you learn You make mistakes And then you learn how to live with Those same mistakes you make You stand up, you fall down On your way around to who you are The best lessons in life You learn from the Scars VERSE I graduated and moved to the city I took my guitar and my Jenny with me And promised her someday I’d be a star Jenny took a waitress job to pay the rent I wish i could say back then I knew how much that meant But I just ignored that part And on the night that she moved back home I was playing on the road For seven drunks in the lounge of the Days Inn motel (TO CHORUS) BRIDGE But life has a way of knowing when to turn the pages You wind and try to find your way and then you find out where your place is… VERSE Tonight as I lay down beside my wife I take quiet stock of my life And think about all the things That really matter to me Like how to be a better husband A better father, and calling my brother Just to shoot the breeze As I close my eyes I say a prayer Run my hands through Jenny’s long hair (TO CHORUS) (c) 2007.

I FALL S. Light/D. Arena/M. Ramirez I am a shooting star – lighting up the sky I am a coin that’s tossed into a wishing well I am a melody that’s reached it’s highest note I am a leaf in autumn – can’t you tell Everyday I fall – I fall I am a stone that’s [thrown] over a rocky cliff I am a sober man who took another drink I am a tear that drops when a love is lost I am a angel who has lost his wings Everyday I fall – I fall When life is set into motion – you can’t stop it, you can’t stop it Just like a wave on the ocean – sometimes we need to tumble to a different place To find our way I am a mother who’s holding her newborn child I am a remedy – for a broken heart I am a little girl taking her first steps I am sleeping in my lover’s arms Everyday I fall – I fall – I fall --- for you

SO EASY (Sara Light/Danny Arena) It’s how you take my hand when we’re walkin’ And how we can spend hours talkin’ About life or just spend an afternoon At the ten-plex at a matinee Lovin you isn’t complicated It’s just the simple truth that CHORUS It’s SO EASY to love you Easy to laugh with you about everything And have I told you lately how much I like to be In a love that's SO EASY We may not be inventing the wheel But long as it’s spinning I like the feel Of moving through life with you by my side Every smile is a gift you give me I thank God every day you’re with me For what you do without even trying and (REPEAT CHORUS) BRIDGE It’s how you always find a way Always know what to say to get right to my heart And the world falls in place at night when I take you in my arms cause (REPEAT CHORUS) Copyright Sara B.
