Life’s a song, life’s a play. The sun comes up we take the stage You play your part darlin’ and I’ll play mine, the story unfolds all in time Sometimes it’s drama & mystery, I love the action and fantasy Let’s not forget along the way, life’s song, let it play Play on… play on… play on! If I sing you this simple phrase, would answer if your sweet way? It’s only natural can’t you see? I follow you, you follow me Play on… play on… play on! Everybody Play on… play on… yeah play on! Life on the big screen, feels the real thing What is it supposed to mean? Come on stay close to me! Life’s a song, life’s a play. The sun comes up we take the stage You play your part darlin’ and I’ll play mine, the story unfolds all in time Play on… play on… play on! Everybody Play on… play on… yeah play on!

Everything 04:02
Sometimes when I’m down, the only thing that picks me up is the sound of you calling me Oh my love, in all my years I’ve never heard such lovely sounds Now you’re gone and I’m alone, so it seems my life with you was so complete Hey, look inside to find what you’re looking for The love you seek, you are not alone The dark and emptiness is just a dream You gotta wake up and see you are everything! Sometimes when I sleep you’re in my dreams, I reach out to find it’s all a fantasy This is when the words run out and all the walls come crashing down around me Time stands still and I’m left to wonder what I came here for Hey, look inside to find what you’re looking for The love you seek, you are not alone The dark and emptiness is just a dream You gotta wake up and see you are everything!

Shine 03:54
Days growing longer, I feel the sunshine on my face I’m growing stronger, I can feel it This life that I’m living, you know it never ceases to amaze The gifts that I’m givin’, you know I’m grateful Yeah can you feel it? It’s time to let it shine! What I mean is, celebrate your life! With no hesitation, I’m calling all my friends to shine It’s my invitation, can you hear it? We’ll gather together and raise a toast to the other side Always remember dear brothers and sister Yeah can you feel it? It’s time to let it shine! What I mean is, celebrate your life!

It’s a good day for a new beginning It’s a good to start again There’s no time like the present moment to let go and believe again Cause every morning is new This song will remind you Every day walk in grace I’ll be here beside you Sometimes love opens like a flower Sometimes love cuts like a knife Look for love in your darkest hour to guide you through the night Cause every morning is new This song will remind you Every day walk in grace I’ll be here beside you Love is all around open your heart and feel The truth can be found open your eyes and see how much you mean to me

Siren Song 03:44
Just when you thought it was over, just when you’re sure it would end then over night what was wrong turns out right and she can’t wait to see you again Just when you thought life was normal, just when you had it figured out She come along and sings her siren song, like a ship you were lost in the night Take a little trip with me you never know what we may see Take a little chance share this dance with me Life’s too short they say come on, let’s dance and play Take a little trip with me Sometimes you find you’re the hunter, sometimes you find you’re the prey Once the game’s afoot, keep your wits, stay alert You don’t know who might come your way Take a little trip with me you never know what we may see Take a little chance share this dance with me Life’s too short they say come on, let’s dance and play Take a little trip with me

Gravity 05:39
Sometimes this old world can get you down Well know that’s alright, I know I’ll see you around Many things I’ve learned on life’s great highway It’s how hard you work, it’s how hard you play World turning ‘round, I feel the gravity We all fall down, it’s our humanity So walk with your head held high and feel your feet on the ground I’ll pick up my guitar and start making some sound Melodies oh so sweet caress my ears You know it warms my and melts my fears World turning ‘round, I feel the gravity We all fall down, it’s our humanity

Shine like the sun, I feel it again Sing me a song, with all of my friends No time to worry, life is a gift Open your heart and let it all in Too many songs about winter, Too many songs of pain I don’t wanna sing another song of heartache and so I’m gonna say Good music makes for medicine, My daddy always used to say I just wanna play my guitar each and every day Shine like the sun, I feel it again Sing me a song, with all of my friends No time to worry, life is a gift Open your heart and let it all in I just wanna play some rock n roll, Turn it up and feel the beat Come on all you people now Get up and dance with me

I’ve been up and I’ve been down, sometimes lonely and sometimes proud My broken heart will mend in time, just one thing to ease my mind She sits and waits for me to come, the bitter silence soon undone I reach out she takes my hand, oh I understand I need some six string lovin’, that’s what I’m talkin’ about Some good good old guitar strummin’, don’t know what I would do without! Supple body, slider waist, She will never hesitate To give herself complete to me, oh ecstasy! I take her home and have my way, there is nothing more to say I am hers and she is mine, oh the end of time I need some six string lovin’, that’s what I’m talkin’ about Some good good old guitar strummin’, don’t know what I would do without!

Desire 04:52
You’re my one true desire, girl you got me on my knees Come on and light my fire, I’m begging you please I can’t wait to take you home, inside where it’s dark and warm Oh darlin’, baby baby please… please me! You know I’ll take you higher than you’ve ever been before Let my loving’ hands inspire, you know I’ll please you to the core I can’t wait to take you home, inside where it’s dark and warm Oh darlin’, baby baby please… please me! Hey, I wanna take you there I know you wanna go there Nana nana, nana na nana
