    BORN TO BE Writer: Riki Carignan V1: You came into the world two feet first There was no silver spoon Made it through, overcame the worst It’s time to reach for the moon V2:  I see the beauty inside your eyes If only you could too And like a first-day butterfly You’re bursting orange red and blue   CH: Be all that you were born to be Free to shine in the light Find a place where you’ll be seen Seen and heard, don’t hide   V3: In the water a reflection of you Gliding on the pond And now you see coming into view A beautiful wild swan   CH: Be all that you were born to be Free to shine in the light Find a place where you’ll be seen Seen and heard, don’t hide CH: Be all that you were born to be Free to shine in the light Find a place where you’ll be seen Seen and heard, don’t hide   Bridge: Show your face, embrace and give this world a chance Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa Radiate, illuminate, your mind ablaze Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa   CH: Be all that you were born to be Free to shine in the light Find a place where you’ll be seen Seen and heard, don’t hide   Outro:     Free to shine in the light Be all you were born to be

    Dance Through the Night Writer: Riki Carignan V1: Saw you dominating on the floor The rhythm pulled me in, I lost control Moving to the beat all night with you Intoxicated by deja vu V2: Music kept us up till early dawn Hypnotic trance that went on and on In your arms I felt like I could fly A memory of you and I CH: Dance through the night Dance through the night Give me one more chance We can make it right Dance through the night Let’s dance through the night Never let me go baby Hold me tight V3: I always hoped that we would keep the flame Alive but somehow I lost my way I know things may never be the same But we could try again, no more games Bridge: Used to be so good together We were gonna last forever Maybe this time we can make it We no longer need to fake it Dance through the night (Dance through the night) Dance through the night (Dance through the night) Dance through the night (Dance through the night) Dance through the night CH: Dance through the night Dance through the night Give me one more chance We can make it right Dance through the night Let’s dance through the night Never let me go baby Hold me tight CH: Dance through the night Dance through the night Give me one more chance We can make it right Dance through the night Let’s dance through the night Never let me go baby Hold me tight Outro: Dance ooh ooh ooh (Dance through the night) Dance ooh ooh ooh (Dance through the night) Dance ooh ooh ooh (Dance through the night) Dance ooh ooh ooh (Dance through the night) Dance ooh ooh ooh (Dance through the night) Dance ooh ooh ooh (Dance through the night) Dance ooh ooh ooh (Dance through the night) Dance ooh ooh ooh
