Just Love 03:09
Harmonize, to think and sing a melody as one And then romanticize, while all the notes of life just come undone You’re always there to hold me When times are tough you told me You just love - JUST LOVE Fantasize, in hopes to find our world embracing peace And never compromise, is the only way to see the hating cease Don’t hesitate just start now It’s not too late you’ll know how You just love - JUST LOVE, JUST LOVE So let it fill your every day, and be your one and only way Within your heart is where it stays, now Because it’s all we have to give, and if you truly want to live Then let it all come from within, now And you just love - JUST LOVE Tranquilize, become the calm that nullifies the storm That’s when you’ll neutralize, the hectic driven pace that was the norm So let this message tell you There’s nothing left you can do You just love - JUST LOVE JUST LOVE, JUST LOVE

VERSE Remember years of total bliss? Those carefree days of youth we miss. Re-introduce, to something new Your inner kid, The Younger You VERSE Had no stress, in turn no strife Always lead to, a simpler life. In darkest times the sky seemed blue Remember now? The Younger You CHORUS It's still right here, it isn't gone It's how you think, just 'turn it on' The feelings, thoughts, oh yes it's true It's here right now, The Younger You. VERSE Go back and get it! don't delay No need to waste another day. Don't contemplate on what to do, Just welcome back, The Younger You CHORUS VERSE You're feeling nice, and living fine You find you're laughing all the time It isn't luck, the fat you chew You went and found, The Younger You CHORUS

When Sunny Gets Blue Her Eyes Get Grey And Cloudy Then The Rain Begins To Fall Pitter Patter, Pitter Patter Love Has Gone, so What Can Matter No Sweet Love Of Mine Comes To Call When Sunny Gets Blue She Breathes A Sigh Of Sadness Like The Wind That Stirs The Trees Wind That Sets The Leave To Swayin' Like Some Violins Are Playin' Weird And Haunting Melodies People Use To Love To Hear Her Laugh See Her Smile That Is How She Did Get Her Name But Since That Sad Affair She's Lost Her Smile And She's Changed Her Style Somehow She's Not The Same Memories Will Fade Pretty Dreams Will Rise Up While Her Other Dreams Fell Through Hurry New Love Hurry Near Kiss Away These Lonely Tears Hold Her Near When Sunny Gets Blue Hurry New Love Hurry Near Kiss Away These Lonely Tears Hold Her Near When Sunny Gets Blue Hold Her Near When Sunny Gets Blue

VERSE We battle every day, just to try and make ends meet A constant pressure builds within my mind And knowing that tomorrow may not bring a brighter day I hate to even think what I might find I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks along these lines And wonders how we all became so tense And as I go to bed each night, before I close my eyes A question comes to me that might make sense. CHORUS Is this the dream that we’re living in, or what we call each day? Is this the dream even though we feel awake? Because we’re searching for an answer, and for what you just might say So tell me please somehow, is this the dream? VERSE Imagine for a moment, if this really is the case Would you change anything, or how you feel? Could the worrying and stress you have, still make you so upset? If you knew it’s just a dream, and so not real Remembering a lullaby my Mom would sing to me ‘Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream’ To hear these words again, now changes everything for me I’m knowing now that ‘Life is but a dream’ REPEAT CHORUS – OUT

VERSE 1: Holding hands, I never ever felt that I was lonely Forever friends, I knew that I had found my one and only. Sharing time, with every passing day became a passion, And sippin’ wine, as music filled the air became the fashion. CHORUS: And then there’s love That followed everywhere And then there’s love For all we had to share. VERSE 2: Days and nights, together now as one as you excite me Candle light, a glance becomes a touch as you delight me CHORUS: And then there’s love That followed everywhere And then there’s love For all we had to share. BRIDGE: See beyond my eyes and touch my soul Know my very heart, and fill my life. Breathe my every breath and live your dreams Sing your special song and shine on me CHORUS: And then there’s love That followed everywhere And then there’s love For all we had to share. And then there’s love In moments caught in time And then there’s love Together, yours and mine

Need to come together, need to make things right Will you follow me forever, to a never-ending light? There’s a time to think things over, and a time to rearrange This is when a love takes over, and a life begins to change. Can you feel it? Can you see it, can you hear it? MIND, BODY SPIRIT (Bass solo) Now more than ever, this is how we need to be Can we try a new endeavor, holistic trilogy? It’s a total celebration, in a way it all makes sense It can cause a new sensation, live your life in confidence. Can you feel it? Can you see it, can you hear it? MIND, BODY SPIRIT (Percussion break down) Now more than ever, this is how we need to be Can we try a new endeavor, holistic trilogy? It’s a total celebration, in a way it all makes sense It can cause a new sensation, live your life in confidence. Can you feel it? Can you see it, can you hear it? MIND, BODY SPIRIT Can you feel it? Can you see it, can you hear it? MIND, BODY SPIRIT

Receive your letters every day, Always helps to pass the time away December for a soldier’s heavy heart. So many wonder as you try to say, ‘How do you make through the holidays?’ I’ll tell you from a soldier’s point of view.. We see the Christmas Star but from afar Hear the jingle bells, just not as well Always pray for silent nights Cause we see different Christmas Lights. We’ll say a Christmas prayer, wish we were there Hang the mistletoe, but miss you so Hope to God we’re not here long, This is A Soldier’s Christmas Song Our job is harder at this time of year, Christmas Spirit wraps around our fear Yet there’s a knowing that we stand for something more.. We see the Christmas Star but from afar Hear the jingle bells, just not as well Always pray for silent nights Cause we see different Christmas Lights. We’ll say a Christmas prayer, wish we were there Hang the mistletoe, but miss you so Hope to God we’re not here long, This is A Soldier’s Christmas Song Our simple manger scene, is caught between All that we saw, from ‘Shock & Awe’. Our plastic baby Jesus cries for us And from our eagle’s wings, we find 3 Kings An angel’s hand, our desert land We thank you for the love you send our way We see the Christmas Star but from afar Hear the jingle bells, just not as well Always pray for silent nights Cause we see different Christmas Lights. We’ll say a Christmas prayer, wish we were there Hang the mistletoe, but miss you so Hope to God we’re not here long, This is A Soldier’s Christmas Song

Micaela Mia 04:19
Looking at each day I'm facing, Indecisive thoughts erasing Taking over me Wondering if odds are taken Could I, should I, be mistaken. If that's all to be Now, I'm longing for a certain smile.. There's someone who's always behind me Picks me up encouragely guides me Micaela Mia smile for me Living far apart and feeling mutualistically appealing. What you mean to me Waiting for her is so exciting best of all is reuniting. All that's came to be Love to stretch forever and a mile.. There's someone who's always behind me Picks me up encouragely guides me Micaela Mia smile for me She's the girl I'd challenge the sky for Anything and actually die for Micaela Mia smile for me. Oh, remembering the days, when she was small A wonder for us all. The years to follow then, I've seen her face uutshine the stars in space, and show me..

A generation passed me by, whoa did time fly! Seeing decades turn the corner, see’em laugh and say ‘bye-bye’ All this a reminder, inevitable old-age finder Kids all say ‘It’s so far away and I really do not mind her’ Well I’m here to tell you, that no matter what you do That growing old will come so fast, the days of youth just never last SPREAD THE NEWS…..Rongo, Caravella Blues YOU JUST PAY YOUR DUES….Rongo, Caravella Blues Being kids just having fun, in the snow and in the sun Getting dates, act the fool, but predominantly cool Always young, always on, never knew it would be gone Cause the hands of time, like yours and mine eventually turn blue So here I say to you, ‘Oh yes, it did come true’ Now thinking of our days gone past, a major freakin pain in the ass SPREAD THE NEWS…..Rongo, Caravella Blues WE ALL HATE TO LOSE….Rongo, Caravella Blues Well I’m here and can’t go back, that’s a straight matter of fact Toss and turn, live and learn, play with fire still get burned Moving slow, getting grey, think too long for things to say If it’s all the same, forgot my name don’t know why I even bother Guess what! I don’t give a damn; I still love green eggs and ham ‘Been there, done that’ my golden rule, don’t give a shit, nobody’s fool! SPREAD THE NEWS…..Rongo, Caravella Blues LIFE COMES IN TWO’S….Rongo, Caravella Blues

Someone far away, you never could’ve met Now’s going through some times that are difficult to handle. Back home all is fine, when suddenly your thoughts, they change And inside you can tell there’s a person who’s in need now Why is this so? Because; Somewhere there’s a love to tie around the world Reach out from your heart, and share what’s in us all A Uni-verse is: SIMPLY ONESONG There he sits on the ground, alone and with no shelter Fantasizing thoughts that to us would seem so simple Keep your eyes straight ahead; you’ve learned to hide your heart (somehow) But inside you can tell he’s no different from you now How is this so? Because; Somewhere there’s a light to shine around the world Teach now from afar; repair what’s in us all Our Uni-verse is: SIMPLY ONESONG, SIMPLY ONESONG Somewhere there’s a light to shine around the world Teach now from afar; repair what’s in us all That’s heard by all, and resonates through time Eternal lullaby That fills your heart, resides within your mind We need to know that, Somewhere there’s a love to tie around the world Reach out from your heart, and share what’s in us all I HEAR ONESONG Somewhere there’s a light to shine around the world Teach now from afar; repair what’s in us all Somewhere there’s a light to shine around the world Teach now from afar; repair what’s in us all

Teenage years of broken hearts, first love has gone away The tears that seem to never end, occupied each lonely day She used to fight to hide the pain and forever wonder why That if love had felt so strong, how could all this make her cry Daddy said you’re a gift from up above, If you set your standards high, Just Set Them High On Love Set Them High On Love, Set Them High On Love Just Set Them High On Love She came home one night in tears as her life just made a change, Figured at 31 she learned enough, but still must rearrange. Wondered why her life seemed full, but only love cannot shine through Remembering her younger years now far away and what Daddy said to do. He said girl, you’re a gift from up above, If you set your standards high, Just Set Them High On Love Set Them High On Love, Set Them High On Love Just Set Them High On Love Reach for all your heart's content and never accept less, Don't feel you have to settle on, move forward, don't regress. And let your standards do the rest And Set Them High On Love Set Them High On Love, Set Them High On Love Just Set Them High On Love

In bed with deception, hypocrisy, lies Your soul misconception, a part of you ups and dies Leading your life is Smoke & Mirrors A selfish confusion, you ask yourself why? Through daily illusions, you live an internal lie Cause leading your life is Smoke & Mirrors Cause leading your life is Smoke & Mirrors You wonder if abracadabra Can lead you to all that is good When you think that you find what you’re after Will vanish away just like magic would No more misdirection, or sleight of hand mime You’re part of perfection, and all that is yours and mine You’ve given up life from Smoke & Mirrors You’ve given up life from Smoke & Mirrors

I AM 04:08
I am one of many, Who have come to sing their song I am ordinary, But know that I belong - yeah I am one forever, Though sometimes I do not know I am you remember? Though sometimes it did not show – yeah The words that will comfort me – I AM The words that inspire me – I AM Two words that encourage me – I AM My lifetime and legacy – I AM I am here to learn how, To grow within my heart I am not alone now, Although I lived apart – from you The words that will comfort me – I AM The words that inspire me – I AM Two words that encourage me – I AM My lifetime and legacy – I AM The words that will comfort me – I AM The words that inspire me – I AM Two words that encourage me – I AM My lifetime and legacy – I AM – I AM I am one of many, Who have come to sing their song - yeah

We live a lifetime, of tribulations To struggle is our recreation Life is filled with constant fear and doubt We grew up learning, ‘There’s no easy way’ Keep the blinders on and grind it every day Forget all others and just focus on yourself …Now that’s a thought, that just couldn’t be more wrong Cause it’s not about you, it’s not about me And gathering all we can see It’s not about yours, it’s not about mine Possessions we must leave behind To figure out life, and understand all it can be Just know that it’s not about you…IT’S NOT ABOUT ME Do you ever wonder, just when your life will turn Surviving’s hard enough there’s still so much to learn So tell me why that being selfish is so wrong? …It’s all right here; I’ve put the answer in this song It’s not about you, it’s not about me And gathering all we can see It’s not about yours, it’s not about mine Possessions we must leave behind To figure out life, and understand all it can be Just know that it’s not about you…IT’S NOT ABOUT ME It’s all about giving, beyond your hearts content Without a dime being spent, or just making a call It means to put someone ahead of yourself They matter more than anything else, so can’t you see That it’s not about you, it’s not about me And gathering all we can see It’s not about yours, it’s not about mine Possessions we must leave behind It’s not about you, it’s not about me And gathering all we can see It’s not about yours, it’s not about mine Possessions we must leave behind To figure out life, and understand all it can be Just know that it’s not about you…IT’S NOT ABOUT ME Just know that it’s not about you…IT’S NOT ABOUT ME
