HEAVEN’S WAITING ROOM by Chad Roland & Jerry Glidewell © 2023 1) There’s a crystal stream…on a mountain side where the cotton clouds…and the earth collide see the foggy air…softly kiss the ground mother nature smiles…while the world turns round and suddenly the morning sun peaks through heaven’s waiting room Chorus: In heaven’s waiting room we all do the best we can holding on hope as we walk this promise land waiting on that glory train from somewhere up above this life is just a journey…on a highway we call love 2) See the mighty oak …reaching for the sky dancing in the wind… like a little child With a baseball glove…in a dodger cap set the world on fire….with a smile like that walking tall…wearing daddy’s shoes heaven’s waiting room REPEAT CHORUS 3) When you touch my hand… oh I fall like rain on a clover field….do you feel the same Can you picture us…in a lillac sky where the lillies bloom…. and the blue-birds fly now if I leave this world before you do just take a look around – enjoy the view heaven’s waiting room (TAG)

Shining City Songwriters: Sarah Geis Williams (SESAC) and Timothy Scott Williams (BMI) V1: With one bag holding all that we own Left the only world we had known Joined a line with no end in sight It was this - or our lives V2: My daughter is too tired to cry She just stares with empty eyes Men come by with papers and guns How can I trust anyone? Chorus: With nowhere to go, we’re told to move on Every turn is a fight, right or wrong BUT hope is a pillow when the pavement’s your bed Home can feel so far behind…but it shines up ahead V3: All the looks saying “why are you here?” Are they angry or just scared? We are not a political game We are people, we have names Repeat Chorus Br: I’ll risk anything to keep my family alive If it were you what would you do to survive? Pray for direction and follow your heart Walk til you can’t stand, then crawl through the dark Repeat Chorus Home can feel so far behind…but it shines up ahead

Driving down the coast, wind catching my hair Sun feels good on my face Clear skies, troubles disappear Dropping worries in my escape I finally feel complete Open to where this road shall lead Chorus Freedom, a place to breathe Freedom, helps me believe My dreams will come to life It keeps my hope alive Freedom in each step I take Freedom makes living great I feel it, I taste it Freedom's all I need Verse 2 Sipping margaritas as the tide comes in Wishing on every star The cool sea breeze on my skin This must be where Heaven starts Don't care what time it is Life doesn't get better than this Chorus Freedom, a place to breathe Freedom, helps me believe My dreams will come to life It keeps my hope alive Freedom in each step I take Freedom makes living great I feel it, I taste it Freedom's all I need Bridge Used to be caught up in a constant chase Now I'm glad I got out of that race Chorus Freedom, a place to breathe Freedom, helps me believe My dreams will come to life It keeps my hope alive Freedom in each step I take Freedom makes living great I feel it, I taste it Freedom's all I need

Take Time writer: Michael Ian Newton chorus Take time to savour tastes in the food that you eat. Take time to hear the music, beyond the simple beat. Take time to look in the eyes of friends that you greet. Take time to appreciate what life lays at your feet. Verse 1 Do you hear the message in the songs crafted words? Do you hear the passion in backing singers’ thirds? Do you hear the players skills honed over many years? Do you hear the soundscape crafted for your ears? chorus Take time to savour tastes in the food that you eat. Take time to hear the music, beyond the simple beat. Take time to look in the eyes of friends that you greet. Take time to appreciate what life lays at your feet. Verse 2 Do you taste the salty, the sour, bitter, sweet? the wafting aromas, feeling replete? Do you feel textures, crumbly or firm? Or do you just see the food as calories to burn? chorus Take time to savour tastes in the food that you eat. Take time to hear the music, beyond the simple beat. Take time to look in the eyes of friends that you greet. Take time to appreciate what life lays at your feet. Verse 3 When you greet your friends or neighbours each day When you say 'how are you' do you listen what they say? Do you look them in the eye when they say, 'I'm fine'? or avoid contact in case it takes time? chorus Take time to savour tastes in the food that you eat. Take time to hear the music, beyond the simple beat. Take time to look in the eyes of friends that you greet. Take time to appreciate what life lays at your feet.

It was evenin’ front porch listnin’ To my elders in my youth And the sound of rain drops drippin’ Off a rusty old tin roof It was the first wish on the first star As the summer sun was droppin’ Little pieces of a life worth watchin’ It was the minute that it hit me That your grandma was the one Just to say the rest was his’try Don’t near cover all we done It was the arguments and make ups All our wins and all our losses Little pieces of a life worth watchin’ It was a gravel road to a fishin’ hole With kids loaded in the back It was the way I sweat praying she’d say yes It don’t get no better than that I pray when I reach those gates The Lord sees what I do often Little pieces of a life worth watchin' That was the last time I was with him We spent hours on that porch It was a special summer evenin' I’m forever thankful for I made a wish upon the first star As the summer sun was droppin’ Little pieces of a life worth watchin’ It was a gravel road to a fishin’ hole With kids loaded in the back It was the way I sweat praying she’d say yes It don’t get no better than that I pray when I reach those gates The Lord sees what I do often Little pieces of a life worth watchin' I pray when I reach those gates The Lord sees what I do often Little pieces of a life worth watchin'

V1 I met her when she was all of seventeen. I was a young man going on eighteen. We fell in love and thought it was everything. The world was ours and we lived inside a dream. CH Under the moonlight, in the fields of wheat We’re making love and not thinking of tomorrow And every day was a perfect memory We didn’t think of a world so full of sorrow. And those memories come back to me In the distant mist of those lost summer days. Ah, of those lost summer days. V2 The summer yielded to the chill of autumn. And winter snow was soon upon the streets. The years went by, and we moved on to others And life was never like it used to be. (Chorus) (Bridge) We were in our teens, and we were full of dreams, And we thought that our love would never die. We were full of hope, but we would come to know So many more lovers and broken hearts. (Chorus) (Outro) We were on the edge of meeting the world head-on. We would come to know the loss of childhood innocence. We were on the edge of meeting the world head-on. We would come to know the loss of childhood innocence, yeah….

THE RIVER WHISPERS Chorus Flowing softer than an angel’s tears The river whispers in my ears Singing songs of a thousand years The river whispers in my ears V1 When I wade in the water, smooth and clean We’re part of each other, the river and me She’s telling me tales of days gone by And I’m listening to the river V2 Winding through the world since time began Carried saints and sinners and holy men Forest primeval keeps watch on both sides Listening to the river Chorus Flowing softer than an angel’s tears The river whispers in my ears Singing songs of a thousand years The river whispers in my ears V3 Dawn calls dusk, day calls night Sky turns the water to fire driven light And I could stay here my whole life Listening to the river Chorus Flowing softer than an angel’s tears The river whispers in my ears Singing songs of a thousand years The river whispers in my ears Bridge And I want to go where she goes And I want to know what she knows Chorus Flowing softer than an angel’s tears The river whispers in my ears Singing songs of a thousand years The river whispers in my ears

Verse 1: The sun’s sinkin’ And it sinks in: Today is gone And yesterday Will take its place Before long Chorus: I’ll do my best to savor Each gift from Mother Nature Be careful not to waste her Cotton candy skies The sweetest summer days were A loan from Father Time I won’t let them pass me by Verse 2: By and by My inner child Will disappear But in a field of dandelions I realize that She’s still here Chorus: I’ll do my best to savor Each gift from Mother Nature Be careful not to waste her Cotton candy skies The sweetest summer days were A loan from Father Time I won’t let them pass me by Bridge: I wanna feel the sun Close my eyes and run Till I’m back where I came from I’ll hum with the hummingbirds Sway with the trees Taste honey with the honeybees Cause life was sweet Verse 3: When I was a child Of Mother Nature And Father Time Now I’ve gone and grown up But I'll stay young In their eyes

Sound of the Soul Blue is evening snow On forest floor by river flow Sparkling trees of fluffy lace Are whiter than my pillow case Like fringes of a quilt Lace are the details I don't yet know A wolf leaves footprints in the snow Where do they go, where do they go? Melting snow, melting snow Green are the splendor of morning grass Budding leaves and flowers, like translucent stained glass Yodeling frog in a wetland, dark Birds make me happy in water color park Then a robin says, "It's getting dark." By the lilies in the grass Am I afraid the summer will pass? Yellow is the sun in September grass And the tears fall like leaves, leaves Multicolor ground are leaves and twigs Crunchy sound as a chipmunk digs Running from winter and toxins in the ground Fear is litter, strewn across the land Toss into the water the paper in my hand Just to watch it float away Listen to the sound of the soul, now is forever And the litter that is scattered in places I can't see Come to the surface by the love from the trees If I choose happiness to fill my cup I look at the litter and I pick it up

Verse 1: I hear the river calling It beckons me all the time I've always been drawn to it But as I'm older, the louder it cries So I drive down to the water With my radio and fishing pole And I process my life Through the lens of that fishing hole Chorus: There's just something about the water And the way it rolls on by It reminds me of how you swept me up And I got caught up in your tide I could sit on the bank for hours And watch the current have it's way There's just something about the water That makes me want to stay Verse 2: You're not with me On the shore anymore That thought keeps washing up Like the sticks on the shore You've got your own river bank now I bet it's a beautiful place But I wonder when you cast your line If you still see my face Chorus Bridge: I watch the river Roll And all I can do is smile Over all the time it stole (Repeat) Chorus

SMILES AT SUNSETS VERSE 1 When the moon has risen And is sitting in her place When the stars align right by her side That’s the moment I embrace When golden sunsets paint the sky And gives its very best And grace has led me through the day Is when my heart finds rest VERSE 2 For I have known real love And I’ve tasted bitter pain But each battle that I’ve won Helps me face another day I’ve been knocked down too many times But I climbed back up again I’ve lived and loved and laughed and cried And thought I’d lost, but I had gained CHORUS And Like the whisper of a prayer When words cannot express Or sight gives way and lets faith led And finds the best way yet When tides run out and dreams roll in I will not forget The mountains I have climbed to find Smiles at sunset VERSE 3 I’ve had doors that never opened And dreams that seemed to die In hindsight I could see the answer And now I know just why But I have lived And have no regrets I had to lose myself so I could find Sweet smiles at sunset CHORUS And Like the whisper of a prayer When words cannot express Or sight gives way and lets faith led And finds the best way yet When tides run out and dreams roll in I will not forget The mountains I have climbed to find Smiles at sunset

Hideaway Nation Published by TimothyMichaelMusic.com 31 DEC 2019 V1 Never knew that I could, live a life that’s this good This place is a helluva find. Nicest people you’ll meet. Every day is a treat Nestled here in the East Texas pines. Kayaks out in the sun, boats buzzing by having fun. And a patio party tonight. Favorite band playing tunes, dancing in the ball room And everyone’s feeling alright Chorus Hideaway Nation. Staycation. Living life on a permanent vacation Fishing lakes and swimming pools Me and my buddies are golfing fools. Resort living. What a sensation. Living the dream in Hideaway Nation V2. Fishing for bass on a lake of pure glass Water reflecting the pines. More time for golf now it seems. Hitting fairways and greens Keeping birdie putts rolling on line. Amazing friends to share life, nature and wildlife Come on down and I’ll buy you a beer. No matter where we roam, blessed to call this place home There’s nothing like what we’ve got here. Chorus Hideaway Nation. Staycation. Living life on a permanent vacation Fishing lakes and swimming pools Me and my buddies are some golfing fools. Resort living. What a sensation. Living the dream in Hideaway Nation. Bridge You know you want to so you might as well You’re gonna love it I can already tell Chorus Hideaway Nation. Staycation. Living life on a permanent vacation Fishing lakes and swimming pools Me and my buddies are some golfing fools. Resort living. What a sensation. Living the dream in Hideaway Nation.

Verse 1 We sat there and watched that Sarasota sunset, White sand between your tanned toes Auburn hair all wet, With your Emerald eyes fixed on a fire colored sky, Makes me forget, Verse 2 Yeah, It was you and me against the world when we met, Chased life’s crazy waves, up,down holding all our breath, Cast our prayers to fly in a sea of stars so high, The day we left, Chorus We were Sailing searching for someplace where we belong, Tried to claim a piece of paradise we could call our own, Found our buried treasures digging up sunken dreams, Far Beyond the Deep Blue still together you and me, Verse 3 Now it’s our ocean breeze, two palm trees, and a hammock, Adding some salt to our lives was good I’ll admit it, Blue chair bay by the waterside, not a cloud in our minds, With no regrets, Chorus We were Sailing searching for someplace where we belong, Tried to claim a piece of paradise we could call our own, Found our buried treasures digging up sunken dreams, Far Beyond the Deep Blue still together you and me, Bridge Side by side, Turning with the tides, On our ray of hope, No beacon of light, Chorus We were Sailing searching for someplace where we belong, Tried to claim a piece of paradise we could call our own, Found our buried treasures digging up sunken dreams, Far Beyond the Deep Blue still together you and me, Far Beyond the Deep Blue still together you and me. Far Beyond the Deep Blue still together you and me. Far Beyond the Deep Blue still together you and me.

V1 I never made it to Woodstock But I wrote a song about it Crosby and the others sang folk-rock It was one of their biggest hits V2 I made my way from Canada Made my home in California Always searching the peace dove Nash and I lived in Laurel Canyon Chorus I lived in a very, very, very fine house It was the place musicians hung out I could write and paint above the rush It was the days of peace and love At times I'm quiet as a mouse Social observation is about Being a voice that doesn't hush The need to rise above Bridge The chaos that was going on V3 I chose to quit the crazy scene So I could focus on my art I've always lived in between The lines that keep people apart Bridge I know we can make it through these waves My home has always been my comfort Chorus I lived in a very, very, very fine house It was the place musicians hung out I could write and paint above the rush It was the days of peace and love At times I'm quiet as a mouse Social observation is about Being a voice that doesn't hush The need to rise above Outro My music is a care package from home Let my voice bring your home Home A very, very, very fine house

Can I drive my way back to you? Through the years Through the tears Down to your hometown… I met you at the university in our class on Bible history You used to drink me up Until I drank you away But I have seen the light these days The Lord forgives me But can you forgive me Or am I history? From the Flagstaff peaks that never sleep To the Phoenix desert deep All these years You left a trail of tears And a grand canyon in my heart A grand canyon in my heart Can I drive my way back to you? Rewind the mixed tape I made for you? Do I turn down your old street… Maybe our memories will meet? Or should I throw this mid-life crisis out the window And just let the wind blow? From the Flagstaff peaks that never sleep To the Phoenix desert deep All these years You left a trail of tears And a grand canyon in my heart A grand canyon in my heart Sadly, you were never to be my wife I pray we can be friends in the next life But God only knows my friend If we will meet in the end… But then again, can we begin again? I am outside your door knock-knock Will you open up your closed door? From the Flagstaff peaks that never sleep To the Phoenix desert deep All these years You left a trail of tears From the Flagstaff peaks that never sleep To the Phoenix desert deep All these years You left a trail of tears And a grand canyon in my heart A grand canyon in my heart A grand canyon in my heart A grand canyon in my heart

Have you seen the desert bloom The colors of the light On a sunlit waterfall On a magic Arctic night Have you ever sung with whales out in the ocean Have you listened to their tales of mystery  This world is a miracle This world is the gem of our galaxy This world is a miracle A paradise we're blind to see We don’t know much about the endless universe  But could it be that heaven is  A place called earth Did you count the shades of green The abundance of wildlife Have you seen the giant trees And the melting Greenland ice Have you watched a starry sky from the top of a mountain  Have you ever wondered why this all exists This world is a miracle This world is the gem of our galaxy This world is a miracle A paradise we're blind to see We don’t know much about the endless universe  But could it be that heaven is  A place called earth Why are we plunderers When we could be gardeners Maybe we could change If we could understand  This world is a miracle This world is the gem of our galaxy This world is a miracle A paradise we're blind to see We don’t know much about the endless universe  But could it be that heaven is  Could it be that heaven is Could it be that heaven is A place called earth

Island Home in the Salish Sea by Casey Edge Diamonds dazzle in the night above Wonder of it all, look and listen Rhythm of the surf is a sound I love Moon a glowing, waves a glisten There’s no place I’d rather be My island home in the Salish Sea Listen to a west wind blowing through the trees Cycling to Sidney is never far Java and a song at Alexander’s Gathering the harvest on the family farm Geese are flying, look up yonder Seagulls soaring on a carnival ride Eagle eyes watching way up high Raincoast forest touches the sky Orcas of the sea, wild and free To hunt chinook should always be Living a life of gratitude Will save their world, and our world too Stop by the vineyard on a bluebird day A Church and State congregation Blessed are the pinot and cabernet Salmon on the cedar, never to waste and There’s no place I’d rather be My island home in the Salish Sea Setting the soul and spirit free There’s no place I’d rather be Vancouver Island is home to me Listen to the orcas blowing out the sea Copyright 2021

SPACE IN BETWEEN Music and lyrics: (c.) 2023 Bill Dake ASCAP Chilly early morning Frosty silver ground Trees are getting naked Just a few leaves still hangin' 'round But, you're warm and toasty Snuggled 'neath those covers While I'm here watching you sleep I'm not drunk, I'm not sober I'm in some SPACE IN BETWEEN Where the sound of your breathin' Has me believin' That the world's not as crazy as it seems Scrambled eggs and sausage Brandy in our coffee Friendly food to feed the soul Then, wrapped in autumn colors We'll venture through the hillside And let the woodlands take control Here beneath a sunburned sky Above a painted valley In this SPACE IN BETWEEN Where trees have full dominion The winds hold no opinion Where we're free to shed the the voice of the machine And as we listen carefully Ignore that cold cacophony Of noise meant to divide us into tribes We'll touch the earth and breathe the air Forget the tech and the billionaires Remember what it means to be alive As we wander back with lighter steps Thankful for our home Glad for friends who've stayed the course And friends still now unknown We'll lend a steady shoulder A place for them to lean, Practice ancient lessons learned From a SPACE IN BETWEEN

Verse 1: Out in the red desert plains Where the sun beats down all day Crocodiles lurking in the streams Camels by the dozen roaming free Kangaroos bound through history On an ancient land steeped in mystery Rock carvings tell an ancient tale Of a land both wild and free Chorus: Australia, land of dreams The outback and the cities gleam Beautiful sunsets light the skies A land of wonder in our eyes Music Verse 2: Modern cities on the coast With tall towers reaching high A fusion of old and new Under the Southern sky Lake Eyre a salt lake there to see The whiteness blinds the birds flying free And Uluru our great red central rock Both symbols of Australia's stock Chorus: Australia, land of dreams The outback and the cities gleam Beautiful sunsets light the skies A land of wonder in our eyes Bridge: From the bustling of Sydneytown To the rugged Outback plains Australia is a land of contrasts Where adventure always reigns Chorus: Australia, land of dreams The outback and the cities gleam Beautiful sunsets light the skies A land of wonder in our eyes Outro: So raise a glass to the land Australia And all the wonders it contains From the red desert plains to modern cities A land that will forever remain © Katelyn C Newlands 9th March 2023

My 7 Wonders of the World (Jason Johnson-Bob Clay) Teachers taught me lots of things like history and geography And the seven wonders of the world The Pyramids, the Taj Mahal - used to I could name them all But after all these years I'm not so sure Lift: ‘Cause with every day that passed me by I began to realize Life is full of wonders all its own Chorus: The feel of grass beneath bare feet To hear the wind rush through the leaves To see the sunset paint the western sky The smell of salty ocean air To laugh like you don't have a care The taste of watermelon when it's cold as ice And the love between a boy and a girl That's my seven wonders of the world With every precious breath of air and each day my family shares I thank God for all life's little pleasures ‘Cause the more I live the more I learn every page of life I turn Is worth more than this world and all its treasures Lift: And nothing made by human hands, created by design of man Can stand the test of time compared to this Chorus: The feel of grass beneath bare feet To hear the wind rush through the leaves To see the sunset paint the western sky The smell of salty ocean air To laugh like you don't have a care The taste of watermelon when it's cold as ice And the love between a boy and a girl That's my seven wonders of the world Instrumental break- (short turnaround) Chorus- Tag/slow ©Johnson/Clay All Rights Reserved.

GOLDILOCKS NO MORE Those were the days when green things were growing With life ever flowing from blossom to seed Every leaf in its place, everything for a reason To every flower its season, to each creature its need Sunshine and rain in perfect measure For rivers to run and forests to grow The Earth was our joy and nature a treasure In that Goldilocks world long ago Those were the days of fur and of feathers Rejoicing together in the earth and the sky Room for the moose, the mole and the monkey For the donkey to kick and the eagle to fly Wings on the wind, hooves on the prairie Space for the paw, the claw or the toe Homes for the bison, kangaroo and canary In that Goldilocks world long ago Those were the days of ladybird summers The humming of bees in the garden at noon When the air was alive from dawn until midnight Butterflies in sunlight or moths round the moon Songs without words from all nature's choirs For the bullfrog to croak or the rooster to crow From whales in the oceans and birds on the wires In that Goldilocks world long ago But those were the days of mankind's endeavour To prosper forever by the conquerors' creed To ravage the Earth with death and destruction Power and corruption, madness and greed Always so cruel, always so clever We poisoned the sky and the waters below Careless and blind, we lost it forever That Goldilocks world long ago Now here in the year three thousand eleven Few remember the heaven that our forefathers knew Where wild creatures roamed and the Earth was so giving With a living for all things that swam, walked or flew Gone are those days and all Nature's glory Just ruin and waste where the smokey winds blow In the flood and the fire we tell the old story Of that Goldilocks world long ago

Brink Of Extinction The world keeps changing and rarely for the better It keeps getting hotter and it keeps getting wetter More tornadoes and hurricanes Longer heat waves and stronger rains The coral reefs are dead and bleached Because the seas are one hundred degrees Do you really think we’re not on the brink of extinction How can you think we’re not on the brink of extinction Within our lifetime we will see Inevitable catastrophe Millions will become refugees When cities vanish beneath the seas As lands flood and populations grow Where will we all go Do you really think we’re not on the brink of extinction How can you think we’re not on the brink of extinction We’re all self-destructive fools Addicted to our fossil fuels Unwilling to sacrifice So we’ll have to pay the price We won’t stop our fatal descent It’s simply too inconvenient Do you really think we’re not on the brink of extinction How can you think we’re not on the brink of extinction I really think we’re on the brink © 2023 Michael T.

When the storm has left you broken Lost in darkness all alone and You need a hand to help you off your knees You’ve tried but can't find strength to Get back on the path you strayed from And you need a light to shine so you can see CHORUS Let it be me That you call Let it be me If you fall Let it be me by your side Oh, let it be me Yeah, I’ve been where you are now The tide has turned and dragged me down I’ve watched my dreams go blowing in the wind You got me back up on my feet Helped restore my self belief So now when you go looking for a friend CHORUS There’s nothing I want more than Just to get you through this heartache And I’ll help you take the first steps to get started CHORUS

Glimpse Heidi McKee @2015 Verse 1 Lord when you paint the leaves with crystal dew Your blue birds sing a melody When the sun dances in the leaves And the breeze joins in harmony Chorus There you are all around Your beauty grace and power In every flower every star There you are Every glimpse reveals the truth Every glimpse reveals the truth My creator There's no one greater Verse 2 When the Storm rolls in and hide the brilliant blue The sky booms loud and threatening Spears of light shatter the black sky.

And The wings sprout on your butterflies When The vines bloom and they bring new life And the sky lights up with fireflies Chorus

WHITE SMOKE – by Philip Hawkins [Verse 1] Can you feel it? It moves across the ground Can you hear it? It doesn’t make a sound [Pre-chorus] No one knows how it will make you feel It seems to have some strange appeal Can you tell me – is it even real? [Chorus] Tumbling down, before it tries to climb Rumbling round, its running out of time Bright cloak, coming from the past White smoke, it’s never gonna last Instrumental [Verse 2] Can you see it? It’s coming from the east Can you sense it? It moves just like a beast [Pre-chorus] Is it some kind of energy? Carrying a weight of mystery? Do you think, it will set us free? [Chorus] Tumbling down, before it tries to climb Rumbling round, its running out of time Bright cloak, coming from the past White smoke, it’s never gonna last

Island Skies Written by Stewart Warman Verse 1 --------- Watching the morning rain Blowing through the angry skies Awaking to a brand new day Waiting for the sun to rise Rolling mists, coming in off the forbidding sea Early nights drawing in The echoes of history Chorus ------- Island skies always call me home All the good I've known You're always here for me Island skies, watch the midnight sun Singing with everyone I'm never far from the sea Oh Island skies, Always here for me Verse 2 --------- Watching the twilight sky Trying to name the stars Hear the crashing waves The tide returns from afar You say you going to leave this place There's nothing here for you But my Celtic roots want me here I'm sure you feel it too Chorus ------- Island skies always call me home All the good I've known You're always here for me Island skies, watch the midnight sun Singing with everyone I'm never far from the sea Oh Island skies, Always here for me Verse 3 --------- Counting the shooting stars Gazing at the Northern Lights Huddled by the fireside Singing the world to rights Never know where I'll be Life has no straight lines But I know where I want to be My haven in troubled times Chorus -------- Island skies always call me home All the good I've known You're always here for me Island skies, watch the midnight sun Singing with everyone I'm never far from the sea Oh Island skies, Oh Island skies, Oh Island skies Always here for me Always here for me Always here for me

If You Knew How the Story Would End V1: I remember in the pre-dawn fog beside the river Dad shoved me off, then he jumped in He seldom spoke when we were in that boat But when he did, his words sunk right in So as the falling oak leaves Buried my footprints like snowflakes in the wind I asked my father, “Would you do it all again If you knew how the story would end? ‘Cause I’m standing in the same place where you stood back then” CH: Would you go to Saigon Take a bullet in the arm Would you sell the family farm When the mill shut down Would you marry my mother Stay together for the kids Would you make all the sacrifices I know you did Well, I asked my father, “Would you do it all again If you knew how the story would end?” Oh, If you knew how the story would end BR: I climbed up the hill in the pouring rain Where the old oak tree still stood Where my height and name at nine years old Were still carved in the wood And I let fly at the top of my lungs a prayer to the angry wind Do you know how the story will end? Oh, Can you tell me how the story will end? V2: I’ve been slogging down the hard road for so long But will it all be worth it in the end Should I push on around one more bend Or give up and start over again? As I rowed that boat across the water Where we caught the bass above his desk in the den I asked my father, “Would you do it all again?” As I scattered his ashes to the wind Oh, as I scattered his ashes to the wind CH: Would you go to Saigon Take a bullet in the arm Would you sell the family farm When the mill shut down Would you marry my mother Stay together for the kids Would you make all the sacrifices I know you did Well, I asked my father, “Would you do it all again If you knew how the story would end?” Oh, If you knew how your story would end

(VERSE 1) Summer’s coming early this year I can see the life in the river Wildflowers grow without fear Winter held me down, I won’t miss her (CHORUS) I called to the wind, I said, “take me where you’re going,” I’ve been so cold, I forgot the sun was glowing Wash my hair in waterfalls, I’m singing with the birds And I feel new, I feel new (VERSE 2) Maybe I’ll grow roots like a tree So it won’t be so easy to shake me I’ll take my time, know my worth Find myself in this rebirth and be free (CHORUS) I called to the wind, I said, “take me where you’re going,” I’ve been so cold, I forgot the sun was glowing Wash my hair in waterfalls, I’m singing with the birds And I feel new, I feel new (BRIDGE) Wash my hair in waterfalls, I’m singing with the birds Finally don’t feel so small, I am the earth, I am the earth (CHORUS) I called to the wind, I said, “take me where you’re going,” I’ve been so cold, I forgot the sun was glowing Wash my hair in waterfalls, I’m singing with the birds And I feel new, I feel new

Bein’ Tender Writer: Dawn Schumilas (SOCAN) VS. 1. Breakers on a granite shore I can take no more of this hard domain I escape white water flow The strong undertow to a life of chains I’ve been swept to the bottom In a whirlpool of promises I stand on the beach and I try To stay dry, water laps at my feet And I’m tearful again CHORUS Bein’ tender, I’ve known it for so long And I hope with this song You’ll come on and sing along ‘Cause bein’ tender is oh so strong VS. 2. Dangling sticks over a cliff The winds here are stiff on this rocky slope City legs, they do lament Alpine ascent, I climb for hope The higher I get the smaller I feel And fears disappear And the sun softens my outlook My head clears, so I let go the rope CHORUS Bein’ tender, I’ve known it for so long And I hope with this song You’ll come on and sing along ‘Cause bein’ tender is oh so strong VS. 3. High above the timberline I rescue my mind from the world’s embrace Dust comes in a burst of fire The flowers retire to the mountain’s face Blue dragonflies lull the grasses to sleep They dream of spring rain And in soft summer sighs I tell them my pain And with them I find peace CHORUS Bein’ Tender VS. 1.

Well I live in the country where the roads get rough, I keep my four wheeler in my pickup truck I sling some mud and dirt every now and then I cruse in to town to pick up a six Then we hit the dirt roads out in the sticks Open up the four stroke and let those good times roll Where my truck ends my four wheeler begins, To some back woods, be alone, with my girl friend She jumps on back and holds on the best she can Country girls love a four wheeler man Got a CD player and a cooler on the back A blanket rolled up in the shotgun rack Headed for a good time with my Dixie dream She’s so cute with mud on her face Go deep in the woods to that special place We gonna fool around while the crickets sing Where my truck ends my four wheeler begins, To some back woods, be alone, with my girl friend She jumps on back and holds on the best she can Country girls love a four wheeler man (Guitar Break) Well there ain’t nothing wrong with a pickup truck But where I’m going, I’d get stuck . . . so That’s where my four wheeler begins, To some back woods, be alone, with my girl friend She jumps on back and holds on the best she can Country girls love a four wheeler man Country girls love a four wheeler man Country girls love a four wheeler man

Ever Notice (c) 2010 S.Cassidy /M.Townley (Verse 1) Ever notice how a sunrise …doesn't ever change its mind That you can never finish counting all the stars up in the sky How a covering of quiet settles in after a snow That every thunderstorm creates a show all of its own (chorus) Ever notice….ever stop and wonder why Ever notice… how we leave so little time To slow it down...look around See everything we're missing out on In a moment We didn't ever notice (Verse 2) Ever notice how the ocean always makes us feel so small All the subtle shades of autumn leaves turn before they fall That you can never put your finger on the place a rainbow ends How despite our revelations there's still a world of questions left (chorus) Ever notice….ever stop and wonder why Ever notice… how we leave so little time To slow it down . look around See everything we're missing out on In a moment We didn't ever notice (Bridge) How life seems less complicated when we're watching children play That when they say their prayers w e wish we had more of their simple faith

(I Wish I Were) A Dozen Roses Writers: James Vitarius/Mark Dau Chorus I wish I were a dozen roses So I could send myself to you Put me on your nightstand baby So I could be right next to you Verse 1 If I had a thousand horses I’d send them thundering towards you To line up at the ready darlin’ To protect and defend you Verse 2 And if I found a vein of rubies A perfect match for your golden hair I’d dig it up and polish the gemstones Something special for you to wear Chorus I wish I were a dozen roses So I could send myself to you Delivered to your doorstep baby So I could be right next to you Bridge If I could control the moon I’d light up your night’s sky Unravel your heart and make it fly The petals may dry and fall Keep them anyway Love remains tho’ things begin to fray Verse 3 If a dragonfly flutters before you With hazel wings and amber eyes Send her back through the forests baby To let me know your thoughts are on my side I wish I were… © 2021 James Vitarius/Mark Dau

When Nature Lends a Hand (Kayanek/Johnston) A little bit of privacy in a crowded world uncivilized, unblemished and unbroken Mother Nature smiles as she hears a boy and girl communicate though not a word is spoken It doesn't take words It takes the right touch to show someone you love them show them just how much There's nothing like making love by a cool mountain stream nothing like making love by the light of moonbeam sharing every feeling where the ocean meets the sand oh there's nothing quite like making love when nature lends a hand Knowing I'm a part of her and she's a part of me a harmony designed to last forever a feeling that's so natural as it was meant to be the glue that binds a man and wife together It doesn't take words It takes the right touch to show someone you love them show them just how much There's nothing like making love by a cool mountain stream nothing like making love by the light of moonbeam sharing every feeling where the ocean meets the sand oh there's nothing quite like making love when nature lends a hand Everything about the mood is right as the water sparkles in the sunlight the treetops gently sway up above nature's gentle symphony of love There's nothing like making love by a cool mountain stream nothing like making love by the light of moonbeam sharing every feeling where the ocean meets the sand oh there's nothing quite like making love when nature lends a hand

Hail to the Sun See the stones standing, Graceful proud and tall, Pearing through the morning mist, warriors one and all the scene is so mysterious a glimpse of a bygone age when worshipped sun and earth and dance around the stones with mirth Hail to the sun, hail to mother earth x2 we praise and glorify your name we bow to your eternal flame pray your fire never stops warming the earth, feeding our crops Hail to the Sun They cast a shadow on the ground when you are burning bright as if to let all humans know your awesome power and might the secrets of the century hidden in those stern facades they must have many tales to tell of love and hate, how kingdoms fell

Beyond Me By Ekhoff, Fann Verse 1: The shadow from a live oak tree in the middle of the night A world that's only quiet when stars are shooting by Mountains in the distance that rarely come in view And a moon that lights the sky from somewhere far across the blue Chorus 1: How these things can be Is beyond me But when I quit living in my head And I step outside instead I see amazing mystery Crazy beauty and simplicity And all of it leads me to believe In things beyond me Verse 2: Like the first time you warmed me up just grabbing for my hand The simple hug you gave me, when I lost my wedding band The way our daughter squeals when I'm tickling her toes When I dreamed of having everything, I wasn't even close Chorus 2: How these things can be Is beyond me But when I quit living in my head And open my heart instead I see amazing mystery Crazy beauty and simplicity And all of it leads me to believe In things beyond me Bridge: How our love grows like the live oak tree Always branching out, but never losing leaves And at the end of every day How you still take my breath away Chorus 3: How these things can be Is beyond me But when I quit talking to my head And I watch you sleeping in my bed I see amazing mystery Crazy beauty and simplicity And all of it leads me to believe In things beyond me Out: Amazing mystery Crazy beauty and simplicity I believe In things beyond me terrifann@gmail.com, 512-914-4415

She's An Angel, but She Doesn't Have Wings By Janet Devers She's an Angel, But She Doesn't Have WIngs She flies every night in my dreams I can't catch her, though she's ready to fall I guess I'm not that fast after all But I'm trying to understand what she needs if I can If she wants me to listen or just offer my hand She's a child, but she thinks she knows things She's An Angel, But She Doesn't have Wings It's too quiet, but the storm clouds are near There's lighting, but she has no fear I keep warning' but she's flyin' too high She's lookin' for rainbows with stars in her eyes Repeat Chorus Bridge: I've loved this angel all of her life She's given tears of joy and of strif Now she's sinking so fast in her pain I can hardly hear her call my name Repeat Chorus Tag: She's My Angel, but She Doesn't Have Wings

Masterpiece V1 Autumn leaves falling off the trees Floating down reminding me How beautiful this world can be Morning sun shining discovers A million hues, shades of color Mother Nature’s painting uncovered A work of art created with each new day A three hundred and sixty degree display CHORUS Capturing this moment in my mind Forever after images (sights and sounds) to play and rewind Grateful and blessed I get to be Living in a masterpiece V2 Evergreens whisper in the breeze Bees a buzzing and a bubbling stream Bird calling to each other, around me Nature’s symphony surrounds So I close my eyes take in the sounds Hearing those native melodies, I’m spellbound A wild sunrise chorus singing here Harmonies resonating in my ears

V1: I love these green fields so rugged and vast, Truth be told, they're fragile as glass. There were times I took more, than I gave back, Now these fields need to heal, So I'll give 'em all I can. Pre: With their carpet of treasures at stake, I've got tough choices to make, so CH: I dig into Mother earth, Feel her softness in my hands. Plant the seeds down in her dirt, On this precious land, and When the cold winds blow, I'm not scared because I know, When my garden's at my feet, I find answers... In the roots down deep. In the roots down deep. V2: Farmers from the past look down from above, At the soil they tilled with sweat and blood. Their voices ask me, "Is nature okay? Are bluebirds in the sky? Are catfish in the lake?" Pre: As we question the old ways and new, I grab my shovel and boots, and... CH: Dig into Mother earth, Feel her softness in my hands. Plant the seeds down in her dirt, On this precious land and When the cold winds blow, I'm not scared because I know When my garden's at my feet, I find answers, In the roots down deep. In the roots down deep. Bridge: On nights, when I'm fightin' sleep, Wanderin' moonlit rows of green, Prayin' I can reap what I need, I roll up my sleeves, and... CH: Dig into Mother earth, Feel her softness in my hands. Plant the seeds down in her dirt, On this precious land and When the cold winds blow, I'm not scared because I know When my garden's at my feet, I find answers, In the roots down deep. In the roots down deep. In the roots down deep. In the roots down deep.

Perfect Place © 2005 Heidi Huettner V1: Little house on a secret lake Sigh into a chair and take A nice, long breath, and let the day unfold Fish start biting after six The dog is pulling all her tricks To get down to the shore without a scold Chorus: A perfect place with no watches Perfect place, without time Perfect margarita Perfect salt and lime Rainbow sherbet sunset Prehistoric pace Just a little person in a perfect place V2: Little boat on the glassy smooth Wake and oars make a rippled groove To cut the time across, but there’s no rush Stop for a second, now, gliding through The sky has turned a nonsense hue The moment freezes—all the world’s a hush Chorus V3: Little heart pounds, the time is near View is perfect, the sky is clear Eyes look out to see the perfect face Stars are twinkling, glasses clink One asks the other what the other thinks About being the little person in this perfect place You could be my little person in this perfect place We could be each other’s person in this perfect place Chorus
