1.	If 03:35	lyrics	buy track
If I feel sad, I can still brighten someone's day If I am glad, I'll share it in a very special way If I'm lonely, there's someone who will appreciate a hug If life has meaning, it's only because of love. Once, when I was angry, the world looked angry to me On the other hand when I'm grateful I see generosity I used to wonder if kind thoughts could have power to make love grow my body's intuition tells me that its so. If I have compassion, I'm open to empathy If, in wanting answers, I have uncertainty, it's all because deep inside all life, we share Love's energy If I accept and grow, belonging shelters me. Instrumental I used to wonder if kind thoughts had power to make love grow; now my experience shows me that love will always come through. Instrumental I used to wonder if kind thoughts had power to make love grow; now my experience shows me that love will always come through.

Mmm - a brand new morning Gonna bounce up, and blow those old ways away I wanna taste the tang of sunshine savor every single ray Put my arms around each moment, and play.

5.	True Blue 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Try to take tomorrow, bottle it with sorrow and put the cap on while you are high... when you get down you're so dry, that you open up the top, and all you've bottled up floods out in tears and fears that you're through, you wish that'd never come true... you wish that'd never come true! True True Blue true to your own point of view True to live in love no-one knows the answers to everything that's wrong but everyone wants music (that they can sing along) Value is so slippery, good friends stick like glue the friends who love you, value you, can see the good in you becoming who you want to be's just waiting for a shove the answer to becoming you is always love love love love love love I don't need to know the answers to everything that's wrong Just give me friends who i can trust to share so we belong consider how i live and love, and help me question too improving the way i live sharing me with you yes becoming who you want to be's just waiting for a shove the answer to becoming you is always love love love love love love
6.	Naming Rights 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Love doesn't inhabit just churches or mosques. It shows up in prisons, in brothels and offices! Love shines out through the ordinary It’s present in each one of us, as our empathy. People still try to label Love’s energy Love’s beyond words, everyone won’t agree Love may be called God, Brahmin, Allah or Christ then under each name some claim naming rights Source of Love, you’re bigger than that, Yes you have the power to reach through the crap giving us hope, giving confidence, trust, you sparkle as a diamond from within each of us! shining like a diamond from within each one of us. lift out the diamond lift out the diamond diamond lift out lift out lift out the diamond! Love doesn’t inhabit just gardens and sea Divine love shines thru common people, like you and me, Giving us confidence and giving us peace lifts out the diamond within each of us Oh Source of Love you help us to see Put hope all around us so we can be free. Share all the world with empathy, trust You sparkle out the diamond within each one of us! lift out the diamond lift out the diamond lift out the diamond diamond lift out lift out lift out the diamond! lift out the diamond diamond lift out lift out lift out the diamond!
7.	Believe In You 03:15	lyrics	buy track
Through my eyes see how I feel I’m so full of pride cause your dreams are real Come into my arms Absorb what I give - What you need is confidence to be able to live.... but you are hearing the voices of critical people who are attempting control of your soul ! it is true you have made past mistakes, but they don’t define life: Love characterizes what I see in you I believe in you... I believe in you Come into my arms Absorb what I give - I believe in your potential, That you have potential to balance the needs of this half-broken world To reach out with your art, Of touching each heart you encounter And I want to see your colors unfurled Cause I believe in the person you are I believe in you... I believe in you... I believe that the light shines inside you So I ask that you do too believe in you (believe in you) repeat
8.	Straddling 02:36	lyrics	buy track
I know what I want, I can’t choose just for fun; I’m being the best I can be one side’s duty, the other side’s freedom Choice is the painful reality. It’s like sliding along, straddling a blade cutting apart, a choice must be made there’s no time to procrastinate I’m straddling. Straddling. I want my habits, and I want to misuse, But I know my duties and I know the rules Sliding along the razor-blade of love, straddling I want to run screaming and act like a fool But I think of who loves me and how they would feel, So I’m sliding along the razor-blade of love, straddling I want education, and I want to grow I love my family but I want them to know I’m sliding along the razor-blade of life, straddling I want to be crazy and let my hair down it’s a difficult balance to both smile and frown. So I’m sliding along the razor-blade of life, straddling I need a steel saddle, I’m straddling! Yeah.
9.	It's About Time 04:14	lyrics	buy track
It's About time I was kissing you, your neck has gone pink and your voice' husky too. I wonder what's stopping you? It's been too long now Is it something I said, Or some sacred cow? You can join me... I know that Well why don't you? Not sure. Are we overtime ? It's About time to be bold with intent, It's About time For our fuse to be lit It's about time we admit we want more! Instrumental We hold a future of all that we long for. I love that we're close friends, but we're both wanting more Yes we hold our future but it came down to this; I didn't want to put what we have now at risk, and it's never as simple as one single kiss. Nothing is gained if we don't take a chance I'm glad we share so much now let's add romance It's About time we take hold of our bliss, It's overtime for our fuse to be lit Yes now's the time to go past companionship, change into a partnership, It's overtime... Yes it's about time... now it's finally time for us at last.
10.	Don't Label Me 03:04	lyrics	buy track
Don't label me, Don't label me I want to be treated indivi-div-idually Don't label me. Can't you see? You don't knowwho I really am, till you hear my whole story. Don't label me insensitively I don't want to be treated simple-limpl-istically So don't label me into a category, discrimination free is what I want for me Everyone of us has a shadow side, things below the surface that we may want to hide So... don't try to criticise by labelling me with your hypocricy You're not going to box up [ My liberty and put a label on me! Oh and don't label me in to one industry! A jack of all trades with no labels for me.. Don't Label Me!
11.	I Fell In Love With The Heroine 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Excuse me, but I noticed you were here on your own last week too (Instruments speak) OK you dont know me but I share the same book taste as you... (Instruments speak) Well the book that you're reading has my favourite heroine, Mary Sue! She sure has style, and her style reminds me of you. (Instruments speak) I agree that it sounds like a line, that's exactly what I thought you'd say, Cause I fell in love with the heroine, and she acts the very same way! (Instruments speak) Yeah the heroine was sad,But she persisted and showed how she cared That's why I fell in love with the heroine. (and you have the very same hair) (Instruments speak) JAZZ SCAT Sure; of course. At the same time? I'd be glad to discuss it some more And to fall more in love with the heroine, Who has stars in her eyes just like yours (I am sure) (Instruments speak) yes I enjoyed it too.. looking forward to it... OK see you next week
12.	The Elfin (Anna's Song) 03:02	lyrics	buy track
Every night when girls are sleeping down the stairs an elf comes creeping bringing dreams and smiles for keeping till the dawn of day Weaves the spell of pleasant memories of the day of beach and sea so that the smell of butter cookies stays till way past tea Then the light comes thru the window sleepy arms and legs they stretch though eyes are closed and smiles remain from dreams of yesterday!
13.	Grande Amore 03:57	lyrics	buy track
L'Appennino maestà simboleggia l'amore torreggianti che esiste nel mio cuore umile per te. Per questo è un grande amore, al di là di ogni prima; riempito di gioia e connessione. Tu sei il mio grande amore, per i quali le rocce del mio essere sbriciolarsi in adorazione. Grande Amore means "Grand Love" Translation: "The Apennine's majesty symbolise the towering love that exists in my humble heart for you. For this is a grand love, beyond any before; filled with joy and connection. You are my grand love, for whom the rocks of my being crumble in adoration."
