Think (Before You Speak) Music and lyrics by Wendy DeMos I tell you. You tell me That’s as far as it needs to go For you to trust me We share this. We share that In my book it stays with us And that’s just a fact Chorus: Don’t betray my confidence Think before you speak Though none of us is perfect Seems obvious to me Cause I want to share my heart with you I’m changing every day So show me I can trust you And what secrets I can say Hey hey ... I told you. You told her Did you spin it spin it spin it? Were you spreading some dirt? I shared joy. I shared some hurt Then it came back from him Ewww .. You got some nerve Chorus: Don’t betray my confidence Think before you speak Though none of us is perfect Seems obvious to me Cause I want to share my heart with you I’m changing every day So show me I can trust you And what secrets I can say Hey hey ... Don’t betray my confidence Think before you speak Don’t betray my confidence Think before you speak Think before you speak Think before you speak Thank before you speak ...

Highway Havana Lyrics and music by Wendy DeMos I walk alone at night Highway Havana By moon and lamp post light Highway Havana “Hey, need a ride?” Thanks, I think I’ll walk There’s my home it’s just another block Streets so safe don’t even need to lock Highway Havana I walk alone at night Downtown in Dublin Walking home from a Ceili site Downtown in Dublin Long way I shoulda brought my bike Won’t be home till the early light Maybe just use my thumb and hike Downtown in Dublin And all the world is waiting And all the world is crying I walk alone at night Jungle Jakarta Watching nature fills me with delight Jungle Jakarta Not too close, don’t disturb their way They won’t hurt you if they’re left at bay So my friends in the village say Jungle Jakarta And all the world is watching And all the world is smiling I walk alone at night Highway Havana By moon and lamp post light I walk alone at night I walk alone at night

Learning to Be Love Lyrics and music by Wendy DeMos Every tear I've cried Every hurt I've felt Every lesson that I've learned Is the price I needed to pay For it brought me to you Every fear I've known. Every thunderstorm Every challenge. Every loss. Is the fee I paid to arrive Cause here I am Chorus: And now this heart can say Let in this love parade Flying from above I'm learning to BE love Every time I felt shame Every time that I blamed Every sleepless night Brought me closer to the light Cause look at me now When my heart feels heavy in the night On my knees looking for an answer The reply: Let it be All I need it comes to me Comes to me Chorus: And now this heart can say Let in this love parade Flying from above I'm learning to BE love Instrumental And now this heart can say Let in this love parade Flying from above I'm learning to BE love Learning to BE love Learning to BE love Learning to BE love

Dreams Slip Away Lyrics and music by Wendy DeMos She wakes up in the morning, grabs a coffee Now what’s she got to do today There’s lunches to be made, the kids need better grades And the boss wants that report by noon It’s like being pulled in this way and being pulled in that It’s hard to get your balance When you’re racing to catch up If you don’t find a way If you don’t make it pay If you don’t, aye, aye, aye If you don’t make it last If you don’t make it fast If you don’t, aye, aye, aye A younger girl, in younger times When hopes and passion seemed amplified Then this came and that before long she got stuck On a treadmill to simply survive It's like waking to last night’s dinner still trapped on the plate Too tired to clean Too empty to face If you don’t find a way If you don’t make it pay If you don’t, aye aye aye If you don’t make it last If you don’t make it fast If you don’t, aye aye aye As dreams slip As dreams slip Slip away It’s not a regret, the kids they're the best All she had back when he went away It’s just that she wishes there was an end to the dishes And a time for her own soul to play To play To play … If you don’t find a way If you don’t make it pay If you don’t, aye aye aye If you don’t make it last If you don’t make it fast If you don’t, aye aye aye If you don't make it pay If you don't make it stay If you don't, aye aye aye Words ringing in her ears It’s all she hears. That’s all, aye aye aye As dreams slip As dreams slip Slip away Dreams Slip away

Fooling the Moon Music and lyrics by Wendy DeMos Time The time draws near To find a new way The past disappears It disappears Time The time comes soon Are we starting again Or just fooling the moon Maybe Maybe the fullest moon The quarter and half also show the way Truth Beyond the wound A sign of life Or just fooling the moon Just now I see your eyes Hear your voice I feel you near I feel you. Feel you. Feel you Maybe Maybe the fullest moon The quarter and half also show the way Moon glow Hiding a crescent Hidden in darkness Yet still remains Just now I see your eyes Hear your voice I feel you near I feel you near Time The time of truth Are we starting again Or just fooling the moon

Be Kind Music and lyrics by Wendy DeMos Maybe I ask too much of you Or maybe too much aside What of the ways of compromise And what of the touch inside And yet To know To find Be kind Chamomile tea you’ll bring for me And love in assorted rows Pleasure is mine you smile and say Touch it and let it grow And yet To know To find Be kind Hearts Everflowing Come again And fill And burst with glee It's not that hard Easy to do and gentle too Like honey’s a bee’s caress What wisdom is there that you can find Greater than kindness And yet To know To find Be kind Be kind Be kind Be kind Be kind I'm just here to say Be kind Don't waste another day Be kind Find a kinder way Be kind Make it all okay Be kind I'm just here to say Be kind Don't waste another day Be kind Find a kinder way Be kind To make it all okay Be kind ...

My Fairy Tale Music and lyrics by Wendy DeMos Something's got a hold on me I don't know what to do It's a fairy A fairy tale here Where kings and queens command their lot And dragons disappear The main actor never dies But walks into a slow sunrise. A sunrise So I wait And I watch And I wait And I watch For a sign that You're feeling this too Still I wait And I watch And I wait And I watch Something stops me From following through Who's the one that's in your heart Who soothes your fearsome times Does her sweetness make you glow Never mind I don't wanna know Don't wanna know Don't wanna know Don't disturb my fairy tale My fairy tale My fairy tale My fairy tale

Touch the Truth Music and Lyrics by Wendy DeMos I’ll know you when I see you and I know you’ll know it too I’ll see your fire burning Through your eyes your spirit’s true And I’ll walk through the veil with you I'll walk through the veil with you I’ll walk through the veil with you I’ll walk Your features inconsequential Your time on earth a lie I’ll lay my body down with you I’ll lay my life And I’ll walk through the veil with you I'll walk through the veil with you I’ll walk through the veil with you I’ll walk. And we’ll touch the truth And we'll touch the truth And we'll touch the truth And we'll touch the truth Come over Give me a three week tender kiss Come over Align my tenderness Join me there Join me here Right here Right now I will know you when I see you and I know you’ll know it too I’ll see your fire burning Through your eyes your spirit’s true And I’ll walk through the veil with you I’ll walk through the veil with you I’ll walk through the veil with you I will walk I’ll walk through the veil with you I’ll walk through the veil with you I’ll walk through the veil with you I will walk I’ll walk I will walk I will walk I’ll walk And we’ll touch the truth And we’ll touch the truth

Blue (Blue’s Not Just a Color) Lyrics by Jim Bronskill and music by Wendy DeMos Meadows they were golden The ones I walked with you Horizon red with fire Green hills shimmered dew There I looked into your blue eyes And told you I loved you Chorus: Blue’s not just a color Blue’s not just a hue It’s just how I feel Without you Once the sun a beacon Igniting love anew Waves crash white water Sand rippling through There underneath that blue sky I pledged that I’d be true Chorus Missing you The hills still roll with splendor Like laughter we once knew Sunsets they glow warmly Raindrops rare and few But when I gaze into the distant skies All I see is blue Chorus

Just Lucky I Guess Music and lyrics by Wendy DeMos Looking out my window Watching as the rain Falls down ‘round me Falls down ‘round me See the walls surrounding If only in my mind Fall down ‘round me Fall down ‘round me Chorus: And I thank my lucky stars Been amply blessed And all it took was saying yes Just lucky I guess Stroll through the trees I wave to Mother Oak She’s waving back She’s waving back My face into the sunlight Warms this gentle heart Sunlight on me Sunlight on me Chorus: And I thank my lucky stars Been amply blessed And all it took was saying yes Just lucky I guess Instrumental Just lucky I guess And you. Why do you feel so lucky? So blessed? Just lucky I guess Just lucky I guess Just lucky I guess
