The Flow
Are you thinkin’ that there might be more
Are you hearin’ a voice inside your head
That’s calling, calling, calling
Are you thinkin’ that life is short
And you only get one to make your way
You don’t wanna be stalling, stalling
Well if you find you’re in a rut
Grab on to what elevates you
Take a step and plant your foot
And soon a new direction takes you
CHORUS:
When you get into the flow, to the flow
Get into the flow, uh huh
When you get into the flow, to the flow
Get into the flow, uh huh
And you know there’s gonna be sometimes
When it doesn’t really seem to go just right
But you gotta keep trying, trying, trying
Later on you might be surprised
When you notice how the different things you tried
Will eventually help you when they tie in, tie in, tie in
Don’t be afraid to improvise
Something of your own creation
When you’re in a jam you know you’re ripe
For a mind and spirit collaboration
CHORUS
And just for a moment everything falls in place
Don’t want this feeling to ever go away
You hold on loosely, ‘cuz the groove is everything
You’re finding your way
CHORUS

Happy Thank You Yes More Please
We’re in the apartment, I finally finished all my chores
I’m sick of screens and I can’t read the news, not anymore
The sun is out, whatcha say we go explore
Get some fresh air, breeze in our hair
The day is ours, what should we use it for
CHORUS:
We’ve got this time together, oh it’s such a treat
We could go out, just roam around and be carefree
I’ve had my share of bitter, ready for some sweet
Oh let’s go be happy thank you yes more please
I’ll make a picnic and put our favorite things in it
Head out of the city, and don’t forget to grab a blanket
So we can lounge for a glorious hour in the shade of a big old tree
And we could read, or play cards if you will teach me
CHORUS
Or we can stay here, and that would be fine
And you can do your thing and I can do mine
There’s always more work that needs to be done
But let’s not forget we know how to have fun
CHORUS

Rocks Paper Scissors
03:13
|

Which will I choose, I wish I knew
Which will you choose, ohh I wish I knew
Which will I choose, I wish I knew...
Make my guess and follow through
We strategize, philosophize
We try to find any way to see
But only when it’s through will we know what it’ll be
I put my hands in and you will do the same
I can’t stand this anticipation, anticipate, anticipate
Which will I choose, I wish I knew
Which will you choose, ohh I wish I knew
Which will I choose, I wish I knew...but we’ll find out soon
CHORUS:
Rocks paper scissors Rocks paper scissors
That’s the game that we play every day
Rocks paper scissors Rocks paper scissors
How it goes, we won’t know until we throw
We make our choice and hope that it’s alright
But there are so many things that we can’t conceive
Things that are going to happen no matter what we believe
I can see the writing on the wall, but it doesn’t mean I’m right at all
No one really knows how the cards will fall, 'til...
CHORUS

Another wonderful weekend my love
And I’m still wearing Sunday’s smile
With you it’s fun just running errands around town
Stealing kisses in the grocery aisle
Then home on the couch, settle in for a quiet night
You'll pop the corn, I’ll pick the movie this time
Some days the best things are the simplest too
I just wanna be next to you, I just wanna be next to you
But now the week begins, we’re off to make our day,
Still I’ve got Sunday on my mind
Replaying all the jokes and faces that you make
And planning out the ways that you and I
Are going to take on the world and see everything in it
All day I’m just grinning yeah my face just won’t quit it, ‘cuz
We’ve got so much to be looking forward to
And I can’t wait to be next to you, I just wanna be next to you
We can live a life that’s big and still enjoy moments that are small
You are the one I wanna walk through life with
Mmm together we can have it all
CHORUS:
Wherever we go, next to you, whatever we do, next to you
Wherever this life may lead, I just wanna be next to you
Ohhh so tonight, oh let’s drive out where the waves are crashing over
Windows down and music up, I’ll put my head on your shoulder
And we’ll make every day feel like a treat and I can’t wait to see
Where we take ourselves. Of all the places
There’s one that I will cherish over anywhere else…
CHORUS

You Are the World to Me
04:04
|

I drink my coffee, it’s my early morning breeze
Turn on the news, that’s my energy
I go to work ‘cuz that’s the ground beneath my knees
But you, you are the world to me
CHORUS
You, you are the world, you are the world
You are the world to me
You, you are the world, you are the world
You are the world to me
I check the boxes, I makes the calls, it’s midweek in the marathon
I need each breath just to keep my balance
I get caught up sometimes in it all, bumps in the way, some days I fall
Its not all great just as it happens
But I get back up to see what’s next, try not to let myself forget that

Antarctica
03:09
|
|||
Took a ship way down south to where few have called home
To where penguins and petrels and albatross roam
Where humpback whales dance on the ocean with grace
And waves carve the icebergs into magical shapes
She can bring veteran travelers to tears of joy
And make elder folks giddy as young girls and boys
CHORUS:
Oh Antarctica
A place like her there’s only one
Oh Antarctica
A part of you she will become
From moment to moment she’s constantly changing
With landscapes as different as winter and spring
At times she denies you, at times she’ll surprise you
She’ll capture your heart with the beauty she provides you
CHORUS
She belongs to us all to protect and to cherish
Something so beautiful you can’t help but want to share it
CHORUS

Bittersweet
04:03
|

I found myself on the front porch step
Watching the rain fall down as I quietly wept
But the tears felt good to me
Just the thought of you, it sets me free
Boy you know that’s what you are to me
My bittersweet
Tracing my fingers along the balcony
Sitting next to the place where we used to be
Sharing sunsets and stories and a long embrace
Falling more in love with you everyday
Praying that you felt the same as me
So bittersweet
CHORUS:
Wondering why I let it all fall down
This love that should lift us so high
And isn’t it crazy, isn’t it cruel
What a fool I’ve come to be
For bittersweet
So I pour myself another glass of wine
The taste of sweet merlot, it brings me back in time
To the night when in your eyes I first saw the stars
And I was mesmerized by you and your guitar
And I finally found in your lips what a kiss could be
And it was so sweet
CHORUS

A Little Bit Better
01:54
|
|||
Nobody said that life would be easy
Or free of confusion or anger or sadness
Nobody said it would go according to our plan
Believing it would only adds to the madness
And I don’t expect that it’ll be painless
Though I do believe we’ll get through it together
But I can honestly say that you’ve made it
A little bit better
When I was lacking compassion
When I didn’t want to see the truth
You had a way of finding it for me
And turning on the light so I could see it too
When I felt myself get turned around
When the thoughts and feelings had me stuck
You’d remind me to check the map and
You’d cheer me on each step I took
And I’m grateful for every word that you gave and
I wrote them all down so I will remember
And I can honestly say that you’ve made it
A little bit better
A little bit better
Oooh, ooh, a little bit better

Here If You Need Me
03:53

I mailed a birthday card today to your apartment
So funny you’re just a mile away from where I once lived
So glad you got a job you like and finished your degree
I can’t believe you’re turning 25, how old does that make me
And we don’t see each other as often as I’d like
But I hope you know that you can call me anytime
I’m here if you need me
Ever since you were a little child
You’ve moved through the world with confidence
A loving heart, agile mind, killer smile
You learned new tricks and made friends everywhere you went
But sometimes life can get so hard
When you’re trying to be both kind and smart
Stay strong, keep yourself healthy
Keep your good friends close, and you know
I’m here if you need me
And I can’t help but wonder if I could’ve done more to save you pain
To warn you about the forces that would tempt you in dangerous ways
But thank the gods you found your route
Your heart is full, your head is clear
It’s no surprise that you now provide
The words to those who need to hear, you say
I’m here if you need me
I’m here if you need me
I’m here if you need me

All I have, all I see, all I am is all I believe
Heya, heya, heya

I am free, I am free, I am free I hold the key
Heya, heya, heya
