My Awakening V- 1 You’ve never seen me It’s not your fault Cause I never really believed in me at all Coming into my own Playing it safe for too long Even my feet can feel a change coming on chorus Looking through my own wings Fooled by transparency The beauty that’s in front of me Has been mine all this time I can fly, I can fly, I can fly It’s My awakening V- 2 I hold the brush I am the artist There’s a masterpiece of colors getting started I searched for strength Found it inside of me Now when my fear locks a door I hold the key chorus Looking through my own wings Fooled by transparency The beauty that’s in front of me Has been mine all this time I can fly, I can fly, I can fly It’s My awakening fly fly fly chorus Looking through my own wings Fooled by transparency The beauty in front of me is Mine fly fly fly It’s my awakening It's my awakening It's my awakening It's my awakening

REIGNITE verse: found an old photograph an excited little kid large mouth bass on a drop shot hook bright eyes and a proud grin Then I caught my reflection the face that was once that child dimming flame burning out where passion had raged wild I let the tough times get the best of me regret, mistakes, loss, heartaches fear of what is going to be chorus: but tonight gonna find my fire give thanks for the new days i’m given to try to fall in love again with just being alive cause embers can turn to ash but they can also reignite VERSE: I used to laugh more and love better was happy with simple things there wasn’t much that i wanted but life met all my needs I lived out loud, seized the days saw promise in everything big dream and raw joy heart and soul carefree chorus: but tonight gonna find my fire give thanks for the new days i’m given to try to fall in love again with just being alive cause embers can turn to ash but they can also reignite bridge: I had a whole lot to learn back then, it’s true but that kid i was could still teach me a thing or two chorus: but tonight gonna find my fire give thanks for the new days i’m given to try to fall in love again with just being alive cause embers can turn to ash but they can also reignite

Ascend It’s often tempting to follow the path of least resistance But the easy way isn’t always ideal The winding trail that leads steeply uphill might be better To try and find your dreams and make them real You can ascend to a new level, you can transcend the negative You can choose your views, choose how to live You can ascend, you can ascend It’s no big deal to be brave when you’re riding a wave of good luck It’s another thing, when the going gets tough You can’t be courageous unless you feel threatened and scared That’s when you’re gonna show what you’re made of You can ascend to a new level, you can transcend the negative You can choose your views, choose how to live You can ascend, you can ascend Oh yes you can, you can ascend Oh yes you can, you can ascend In these polarized times a political divide is ripping out America’s heart But the kindness that draws us together is stronger than the hatred that drives us apart We can ascend to a new level, we can transcend the negative We can choose our views, choose how to live We can ascend, we can ascend Oh yes we can, we can ascend Oh yes we can, we can ascend © 2022 Michael T.

Never Did V1 We were high on honeymoon low on money,  Bittersweet love, that was our twenties, Old enough, but too young to commit, Thought we’d always stay together, But we never did, V2 Yeah we held each other so close, danced when it rained, Shared the tears, through our laughter and pain, Dreamed of a big house and little kids, Promised to give her the world, forever,  But I never did, Chorus Never did undo our done and gone, She learned to let go, I tried to moved on, But I still pray like hell to learn to live, With all the things we were gonna do, to the why we never did, V3 Just looking back now, on us then, Wishing we were one all over again, Can’t forgot them last words from her lips, Swore she’d stay in touch when I left, But she never did, Chorus Never did undo our done and gone, I let her go she tried to hold on, And I still pray like hell to learn to live, With all the things we were gonna do, to the why we never did, Bridge She went out into the world, Thought I lost my country girl, God brought her back in the end, Never thought she’d be back in my arms again  Chorus Cause I.. Never did undo our done and gone, I let her go, she tried to hold on And I still pray like hell to learn to live, With all the things we were gonna do, To the why we never did, Never did I pray like hell to learn to live, With all the things we were gonna do, to the why we never did, We never did, Never did....

Personal Truce Written by Carin Fradin and Brad Hacker V1 I won’t be a prisoner to my mind Spinning stories all day These demons inside me keep wasting my time And they’re not going away I’m stuck in this mood, the blues Something I didn’t choose But if I’m livin with this I’m doin it my way, and I got some rules Chorus I know what I’m fighting for, I won’t get lost in this war I’m taking control Learning to love myself, drown all those voices out Change my whole point of view There’s nothing I can’t do I call a Personal Truce V2 Now I’m chasin my dreams, feelin so free Not fallin down when I fail I keep moving forward, taking the risks I need To put the wind in my sails Chorus Started feeling stronger When I stopped beating myself up Found I held all the power when I let my doubts go I could be enough Chorus Carin Fradin 415-517-3911 carin@fradin.com

Screen Door Writers: Timothy Scott Williams and Sarah Geis Williams (V1) Gotta drink in my hand Good dog at my feet Hole in the screen door lets him come and go without me having to leave my seat Lie down when I’m tired Get up when I’m woke Pick up my guitar when it gets too hard to fix all the things that are broke (Chorus) Sometimes I try to remember all the names of women I’ve loved But my mind seems to run away to things not worth thinking of (V2) Don’t live by my phone Don’t even look at my clocks But I can keep time by the man that comes by to put my mail in the box They say that one day Water’ll cover my porch But I’m prepared - if I’m still here - my fishing pole’s right by the door Repeat Chorus (V3) Like dandelion seeds When the wind starts blowin’ Some friends drift on but just look at my lawn - new ones always are growing. Another drink in my hand Two dogs at my feet Hole in the screen door lets ‘em come and go without me having to leave my seat Watching this crazy world ebb and flow without me having to leave my seat

Enjoy it while you can Verse Mansion on a hill locked up tight Man on the street begging for a bite Some have glory soaked in the sun Some have sorrow, they have none In the end it’s all the same Superstar stands up on the stage who decided they’ve got it made A family man with kids and a wife Nothing more he needs in his life For yourself make a name Chorus Who can say just why we’re here No one knows how long we have Every moment’s considered dear so keep your loved ones near and enjoy it while you can feel all the love that you can stand enjoy it while you can Verse A sick man struggles to stay alive He knows too well, times not on his side Young couples fight and nobody wins Wasted time, you’ll never see again Before you know, it all slips away Chorus Who can say just why we’re here No one knows how long we have Every moment’s considered dear so keep your loved ones near and enjoy it while you can feel all the love that you can stand enjoy it while you can Verse Strung out people, the walking dead Some find inner peace instead The restless kind they roam around Find yourself, why won’t you settle down Happiness needs a chance Bridge A billion souls live day to day some forever lost, some find a way If happiness is within your grasp, make it last, make it last and enjoy it while you can Chorus Who can say just why we’re here No one knows how long we have Every moment’s considered dear so keep your loved ones near and enjoy it while you can feel all the love that you can stand enjoy it while you can

V1 Wake up to the calling of the city The song of the traffic from the streets. Well, the life I’ve known is a distant memory What the future holds is a mystery to me V2 The moments of happiness are fleeting. Hold on to the friends that you should meet. Through the streets I run, I’m part of the harmony Opening my arms to whatever waits for me. CH Well, the city sings me a lullaby, Talks to me and soothes me, Takes control and moves me. Dance to the rhythm of my life. Feel the music through me, Learn to love the new me. Ah, holding on as the music takes me up above, beyond All the sadness and sorrow that have weighed me down, That have weighed me down. V3 Wake up to the calling of the city The song of the traffic from the streets. Well, the life I’ve known is a distant memory What the future holds is a mystery to me.

Call Me a Senior Citizen Words and Music ©2022 Steve Bryant (Verse) There’s not much I haven’t done, And nothing much that I can’t do. I’ll take on any challenge, And always see it through. My years have brought me wisdom, God and common sense kept me alive. There’s so much more I can do. I’ve got the time and still have the drive. (Chorus) Call me a senior citizen. I’m better than I was yesterday. I know what works and what won’t. It’s high time I had my say. Call me a senior citizen, Advertisers say I don’t exist. So many battles I have won, Almost too many to list. (Verse) I can drive an 18-wheeler, Write a song that will make you cry. I can still turn a pretty lady’s head, I don’t even have to try. I can build a bookshelf or a house, Fix almost anything that breaks, I’m not afraid to try new things, And learn from my mistakes. (Repeat Chorus) (Verse) I can cook you a gourmet meal, Tell a story where the good guys still win. Get along with you if we disagree, Walk away with a handshake and grin. I’ll lend you a helping hand, Like I did when I was young. Don’t treat me like my life is over, I’m telling you it’s just begun (Repeat Chorus)

I was trapped in a never ending maze Every single path took me the wrong way But today I broke down the walls Felt the sun on my face And now I'm loving it all Chorus I feel alive Changing my life See the world through a different lens Where the colours are more intense I feel alive Alive Verse 2 I taste freedom walking in the rain A sweet sensation every step I take No more stress, I'm now calm Breathe in and breathe out Look up and stretch my arms Chorus Bridge I'm gonna make the most of my time Everything's feeling so sublime Chorus

VERSE 1: You're beginning the end of your journey, One more step, you’re almost done, These demons can’t keep you imprisoned, Lean on me ‘til the craving’s gone, PRECHORUS It’s so hard to lay down the things you need so bad, Let go of those wasted years & put ‘em in the past, Knocked down and ragged, emotionally tattered, Stay proud don’t give into the pain, All is not lost, believe you still matter, You have the right to succeed, just have a little faith, Stand up and believe. VERSE 2: See the light at the end of the tunnel, Another mile, you’re almost home, This struggle won't keep you from winning, Don’t give up ‘til the race is run, PRECHORUS It’s what’s on the other side that keeps you pushing on, It's not how you get there, or if you finish strong Knocked down and ragged, emotionally tattered, Stay proud don’t give into the pain, All is not lost, believe you still matter, You have the right to succeed, just have a little faith, Stand up and believe, PRECHORUS Each breath you take brings you closer to your dreams, Keep on moving forward, life is a precious thing, Knocked down and ragged, emotionally tattered, Stay proud don’t give into the pain, All is not lost, believe you still matter, You have the right to succeed, just have a little faith, Stand up and believe, Stand up and believe You've got to stand up and believe

My Old Town / Martin Dean VS1 I had to leave this tiny place and head out to the city, I had to find out what the fuss was all about. They said the men were all dressed up and the girls were pretty. There's always plenty of work and no one ever has to go without. Looking back in my rear-view mirror, that's when things started becoming clearer, that might be about the time when I started to have my doubts, REFRAIN about leaving my old town, I'm leaving my old town. VS2 It didn't take long before something began to tell me, this ain't the kinda place that I thought it was supposed to be like. People honking their horns and showing off their middle fingers, even those pretty little girls didn't know how to be polite. I met a girl who didn't do huntin' or fishin', she had a pretty face but she had me wishin' I'd never let those country girls out of my site, REFRAIN back in my old town, I'm goin' back to my old town. Instumental VS3 Mom and I went down on Sunday to the church where I first met Jesus, I listened real good and slipped a 20 into the plate, I know that Momma McCreech is gonna cry when she first sees us, Invite us over for supper 1:30 and don't be late. Then she asked me if I'm gonna be stayin' for long, she said that this town is where I really belong, And that I need to meet her cute young niece named Mary Kate. REFRAIN Back in my old town, I'm back in my old town. VS4 / BR Me and Mary Kate gotta little thing goin' on, and now we both know that it won't be long, for her and I to know this is where we both wanna' stay, REFRAIN back in my old town, back in my old town.

More of Me Took my house but that’s alright it ain’t hard to move Found a few old cardboard boxes and packed up all I could Moved my life from one side of this town into the other Still not over you but I’m starting to discover That there’s there’s Less of you, None of us More of on my own Double shot nights, Single girls But still more time alone I’m finding out things about myself I never thought i'd see Cause there's less of you But more of me Started playing out on weekdays more than ever in my life Wrote a thousand break-up songs I can’t believe that people like Watched every action movie that you never let me see And I’ve made way more friends now that you have set me free That there’s there’s Less of you, None of us More of on my own Double shot nights, Single girls But still more time alone I’m finding out things about myself I never thought i'd see Cause there's less of you But more of me Went on more first dates than anyone should ever have to do Spent way to much on whiskey trying to find a brand new you But I found something greater that I never knew I had It turns out i’m a better man when I’m not your better half That there’s there’s Less of you, None of us More of on my own Double shot nights, Single girls But still more time alone I’m finding out things about myself I never thought i'd see Cause there's less of you But more of me I’m learning who I am as I instead if we Cause there’s less of you And more of me

monday morning in this city get on out and look around figure out which way the wind blows in this town, in this town I used the dream I had a gold mine a pick or shovel in my hand a team of horses standing ready for my command, my command bridge now I'm out to seek my fortune no map to guide me on my way to build a better life tomorrow than yesterday, yesterday nobody said this would be easy 'would have been a fairy tale I'm going out to grab that tiger by the tail, by the tail in this town, in this town copyright Michael R Gardner 2022

THINGS I KNOW V1 Crocuses and red winged black birds Make their spring return I am alive, I have survived And come out the other side I don’t mind snow on the ground With purple flowers and bird song CHORUS These are things I know What I see from my window And feel within my soul I don’t know much But these are things I know V2 An azure sky, a cloudy day A gift either way I try to take each as it comes With hope for another one What I share is all I am Each journey has a different path CHORUS These are things I know What I see from my window And feel within my soul I don’t know much But these are things I know BRIDGE All I can do Is control how I view This day and what it can mean Until night washes over me CHORUS These are things I know What I see from my window And feel within my soul I don’t know much But these are things I know ©Ricki E.

One Eighty I was broken’s definition Off the rails and on a mission If there was trouble I would find it My release was my affliction Always chasing my addiction Most days I just wouldn’t fight it I thought I was too far gone to get clean Jesus stepped into my world and set me free When I was nothing but a lost cause running He reached down to the bottom of the bottom And saved me He turned me one eighty Now I may not know the way back home But step by step he made a way and a promise To lead me He turned me one eighty He’s the God of saving lives I thank God he saved mine He saved mine He saved mine Now the life I broke to pieces Is in the hands of Jesus And I know he can redeem it His grace is more than able To make me whole and I am thankful That he found me there when he did I thought I was too far gone to get clean Jesus stepped into my world to set me free When I was nothing but a lost cause running He reached down to the bottom of the bottom And saved me He turned me one eighty Now I may not know the way back home But step by step he made a way and a promise To lead me He turned me one eighty He’s the God of saving lives I thank God he saved mine Now I own the road that I chose to walk But I know that I am defined by Only one thing in my history The moment that Jesus paid it all And all my sin and shame Was thrown into the sea When I was nothing but a lost cause running He reached down to the bottom of the bottom And saved me He turned me one eighty Now I may not know the way back home But step by step he made a way and a promise To lead me He turned me one eighty He’s the God of saving lives When he could have passed me by He brought my dead heart back to life I thank God he saved mine He saved mine
