Falling In Love 03:45

High school dance in a crowded gloom DJ spins and the bass goes boom Bingo Ben my nom de plume We lock eyes from across the room It’s love… I wanted you bad from the night we met I’m all in, no regret Dance all night, drenched in sweat Stealin’ a kiss every chance I get It’s love… Hoping that this could be love Late nights, kissing in cars Rendez vous, au revoirs The high school dance, that was ours We saw 15 shooting stars It’s love… I said, “I wanna marry your girl some time.” “I’ll be hers, she’ll be mine.” He said, “Boy, you’re outta your mind.” Now I got another tall mountain ta climb It’s love… Praying that this could be love I got another tall mountain ta climb I remember yesterday You and I so far away Setting fire to the heavens above When we were both in love I remember yesterday You and I so far away Setting fire to the heavens above When we were both in love Falling in love When we first met, I thought that we would stay together We would never be apart The storms would rage, but we would stand Despite the weather Love and thunder from the start High school dance in a crowded gloom DJ spins and the bass goes boom Bingo Ben my nom de plume We lock eyes from across the room It’s love… I wanted you bad from the night we met I’m all in, no regret Dance all night, drenched in sweat Stealin’ a kiss every chance I get It’s love… All that I wanted was love I remember yesterday You and I so far away Setting fire to the heavens above When we were both in love I remember yesterday You and I so far away Setting fire to the heavens above When we were both in love Falling in love

Voices 03:17
lyrics

This is the story of a man who’s going blind Who walked with single purpose through the eddies of time This is the story of a girl who couldn’t hear But the angels and the demons like to whisper in her ear They followed the white rabbit and took the red pill They did what they were supposed to, a good Jack and Jill But they knew the reality they made wasn’t real And the madness was nipping at their heels I feel the shiver runnin’ up and down my spine The thought that I might not be right inside my mind I hear the voices callin’ Inside my head Angels and demons fallin’ Voices are callin’ This is the story of how we all became slaves Canceled by the culture and tossed by the waves The good boys and girls did exactly as they were told They gained the world, but forfeit their soul This is the story of a world that couldn’t love Separated from their bodies and from the heavens above Graceless the wandering crowd looked for prey And unfortunately, you were right in the way I feel the shiver runnin’ up and down my spine The thought that I might not be right inside my mind I hear the voices callin’ Inside my head Angels and demons fallin’ Voices are callin’

Rising Star 03:42
lyrics

I once heard, a journey of a thousand miles began with a single step Just like every life from creation to now began with a single breath Sometimes I doubt myself, and wonder if I truly belong A discordant note in the score of our journeys winding song You, you know who you are You’re a rising star A reservoir of hope in endless seas You, you know who you are You’re a rising star, you’re a rising star You’re a rising star If the event horizon of a black hole can store information, Allowing us to see the unseen, light trapped in suspended animation Then shouldn’t we be able to perceive the light of a lost and hidden heart No longer beating in the dark No! We should set it free right now You, you know who you are You’re a rising star A reservoir of hope in endless seas You, you know who you are You’re a rising star, you’re a rising star You’re a rising star We’re all just lights in the night Shining for all to see Our dreams incandescently bright Burning for you and me All the fear, and all the pain, all the doubt, and all the shame The weight we feel from all the blame, can feed our sleepless nights But all the Love, and all the light, the song of joy, our hearts delight And all the acts of kindness might ignite our hopes and dreams You, you know who you are You’re a rising star A reservoir of hope in endless seas You, you know who you are You’re a rising star, you’re a rising star You’re a rising star We’re all just lights in the night Shining for all to see Our dreams incandescently bright Burning for you and me

It’s just another lazy kind-a day, fun in the sun Chasin’ the clouds, no need ta run Castles in the sand, at the beach, on the weekend Laughin’ by the pool, cannonballs in the deep end We gone-dance in the city all night The party doesn’t stop until the dawn breaks light Drive back home as the day’s begun Sunrise kissed by the California sun Top down, Fun in the sun Another sweet song, another heart won Day trippin’, just slippin’ away This is how we do on those lazy dayz God bless those lazy dayz, God bless those lazy dayz God bless those lazy dayz This is how we do on those lazy dayz This is how we do on those lazy dayz Sunsets, a walk in the woods Rollin’ real slow, girl, you know it’s all good Southern California in the Spring, no equal Top down drive with the Beatles and the Eagles Cruisin’, on Victoria Ave Reminiscin’ ‘bout all the good times we had Then we head to the crib in the Riverside hills Lights down low, Netflix and chill Top down, Fun in the sun Another sweet song, another heart won Day trippin’, just slippin’ away This is how we do on those lazy dayz God bless those lazy dayz, God bless those lazy dayz God bless those lazy dayz This is how we do on those lazy dayz This is how we do on those lazy dayz Top down in the sun, Cruisin’ the One It’s second ta none My heart is filled with lazy melodies Come take a ride on the breeze Top down, Fun in the sun Another sweet song, another heart won Day trippin’, just slippin’ away This is how we do on those lazy dayz God bless those lazy dayz, God bless those lazy dayz God bless those lazy dayz This is how we do on those lazy dayz This is how we do on those lazy dayz God bless those lazy dayz, God bless those lazy dayz God bless those lazy dayz This is how we do on those lazy dayz

Every Little Thing 03:59
lyrics

At 8 I thought my world had simply fallen apart They put me in a lab to learn Language Art My mom saw the panic, an’ the shame an’ the doubt She said, “Son, we got a problem. We can figure it out.” Kids in the class knew that somethin’ was wrong Before I knew it they were sayin’ that I didn’t belong But my mom and my dad said, “You got to be strong.” “You’re gonna rise to the top, son. It won’t take long.” You, feel the weight of the world on you And the pain that it put you through But the sun’s gonna rise for you Every little thing, every little thing gonna be just fine Every little thing, every little thing gonna be just fine Every little thing, every little thing gonna be just fine Every little thing It was 9-1-1 and I had just woke up Saw my wife off to work, put some tea in my cup There was a man on the news looking shaken an’ stunned He said a plane had just collided with tower number 1 An’ I watched in disbelief, the second plane crashed Towers came down, raining steel an’ ash An’ for one brief second the whole world mourned A moment of grace in the eye of a storm You, feel the weight of the world on you And the pain that it put you through But the sun’s gonna rise for you Every little thing, every little thing gonna be just fine Every little thing, every little thing gonna be just fine Every little thing, every little thing gonna be just fine Every little thing 2000 an’ 20, a global epidemic The country is divided, the debate becomes polemic Borough to borough, backyard to yard From nation to nation, the virus hits us hard We sunk into the rhythm of a planet distressed Cut off an’ isolated, toilet paper obsessed It hits me kind-a funny when I say it out loud But you could taste the desperation and the fear in the crowd For 12 long months the economy dropped Social gathering stopped, an’ we thought that we would pop You’d think that global tragedy would murder the game But we fought and rose together like a phoenix from the flame You, feel the weight of the world on you And the pain that it put you through But the sun’s gonna rise for you Every little thing, every little thing gonna be just fine Every little thing, every little thing gonna be just fine Every little thing, every little thing gonna be just fine Every little thing
