Paper Hearts 03:10
We joined in dreams, our hope was strong, we were a team, then things went wrong Misunderstandings and miscellaneous miseries tore apart our paper hearts. Frail paper hearts Can we can heal each other by determination and trust? Will we weld together? Or will we just rust? Our stories told are souvenirs to hold, still controlled by lies of old. We attempt to draw together two pages torn apart, what can glue two paper hearts? our paper hearts If we accept each other; and with kindness,  both do our part, [love can tape back up our paper hearts. Two paper hearts.

Thank you, precious child, for you opened me to responsibility. Thank you, for your curiosity; for your love of adventure, and wanting to improve. Thank you, precious child, for growing up with courage and for taking on challenges, including me, and becoming independent of the pressures of society. Thank you, precious child, for inspiring me, for leading me to see myself in different ways. You are not "my" child, for I never owned you. I am blessed with having known you since your birth. You are my mirror, you will always be a part of who I am, so I thank you, precious child!

I had a La La Lee dream last night, that we were Lovers, held on tight and in the yellow morning light we woke to find la la la lee, we'd had a dream about tomorrow, we were friends who knew and cared. Through all our laughter, love and sorrow; we always shared La la lee dreams La la lee dreams We always shared la la lee dreams as one. We had become a sort of single soul, and home was where we both lay down and dreamed together every night la la lee oooh For we are lovers held on tight and in the bright red morning light we woke with joy to find that the dream was right!! (Solo piccolo by Sam Lower) La la lee dreamers through and through! Our La la la lee dream for two my La la lee dream came true in you!

2020 was a pandemic year, with fear blinding kindness in our minds. Isolation in so many ways I just don't understand what was behind it... As the statistics grew, did it get to you? The impact of fear seemed the worst. An Older person I knew who caught the covid flu described it in just a few words; I can't breathe; Children aahh I think I think I'm gonna die Cuz I can't breathe; children, I can't breathe. Instrumental There was also a virus in the white House; 'White supremacy', racism & fear. Yet the U.S. pointed the finger at China saying "Chinese don't respect human rights" over there! having seen how young George Floyd had died, officials in Beijing got wise; in response to the two-faced hypocricy, they folded their arms and replied; I can't breathe; Mama aahh I think I think I'm gonna die Cuz I can't breathe; Mama, I can't breathe. spoken word Police brutality; racist deaths; George Floyd Eric Garner Javier Ambler Manueal Ellis Elijah McClain and over sixty others. all of them died in police custody saying end slow on "I can't breathe"

On Your Way 02:32
You're on your way The sound of change is calling you The goal is blurred Yet you’ll see it through, hold that as true… You're on your way Each footprint on untouched dew is new. step into what is deep in you; you’ll know your way; it’s child’s play. While you're on your way Hold all love in gratitude Every experience that you knew; hold onto that as true… On your way You're on your way For a short time, I'm left behind Yet I know we’ll find our combined light will shine on your way on our way On the way.

Mmm If you were a song, I’d be dancing and singing along learning the complexities of your sweet melody A flight of chickadees will be flitting along with your song ‘Cause the rhythm of your loving-kindness is so strong. As strange as this may seem to be You are the only song that listens to me maybe that is why I feel so happy; your song's in the key of empathy. If you were a song, the lyrics of the story would be strong You'd connect to all the listeners who are singing along Thanks to the composer, who wrote the chords for your sweet tune The first verse you were in Venus, the second you landed on my moon For your song I sing harmony You are the best song that ever happened to me Every part of our beating hearts would belong to you, if you were a song INSTRUMENTAL 8 bars A chorus of happy chickadees will be flying along with your song ‘Cause the rhythm of your loving-kindness is so strong. Outtake: You're a beautiful song; For you I sing harmony You're a beautiful song; You're the best song ever happened to me You're a beautiful song (repeat and end)

We chose to dance together, Now I want to understand Why there's a distance between us Even when you're in my arms I'm sure your heart aches too, when we're dancing at a distance; You're weighed down with your burdens Let me take some of your load. I want to be in step with you not treading on your toes, ooh I'll help you reach the stepping stones on this twisted heart-felt road. Instrumental section The more we love, the more we give, The more vulnerable we are! We want to heal, but we can't conceal The powerlessness that we feel Come and talk to me Let's stop this dancing at a distance... We're moving to a different beat and our lack of timing shows I want to be in step with you not stepping on your toes So let me share the stepping stones on this twisted heart-felt road. No more dancing at a distance.... No no no no, Let's stop this dancing at a distance...

Since you came into my life I Can't believe how good it feels So fresh and green and young again and enjoying life's new deal! When you smile, there's something deep inside of me that tries to cartwheel free and I know how much I love you and I know you love me too Not so long ago I met you; At first glance my heart was sold I knew that I would love forever (Even when I'm old) When you smile, there's something deep inside of me that tries to cartwheel free and I know how much I love you and I know you love me too There's a sparkle in your eyes. Innocence as well. When you hug me I'm transformed to better by a mile cause When you smile, there's something deep inside of me that tries to cartwheel free and I know how much I love you and I know you love me too
