| As It Should Be |
| GROWING SIDE BY SIDE WITH NO FEAR OF WHO IS STANDING NEAR OUR ROOTS ARE INTERTWINED WHAT’S YOURS IS MINE WE'RE ALL JUST REACHING FOR THE STARS......... AND ONE THEY NAMED SOL THE SUN ON THIS EARTH WE ALL DRAW OUR LIFE FROM SHE SEES US ALL BELOW AS ONE BOUNDARIES NONE LIFE AND LIGHT FOR ALL........ WE COULD TAKE A LESSON FROM THE TREES WE COULD TAKE DIRECTION FROM THE BREEZE WE COULD TAKE A MOMENT TO SEE EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD BE CHANGING POISON INTO AIR GROWING BRANCHES WHERE WE LOOSE ALL OUR CARES LIVING LONG GOING NOWHERE WATCHING AS THE WORLD PASSES BY....... AND THOUGH THIS OLD POPLAR FELL IT’S LIVING ON WITH A SONG TO TELL SO CAN WE MAKE HARMONY FROM THE PEOPLE FALLING NEEDLESSLY?........ CHORUS AND AS THE MOON RISES HIGH AND CASTS THE SHADOW OF A LEAF ON MY EYE I KNOW I DON’T HAVE TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE MISTERY IN A SIGH......... CHORUS |
| What I Needed Most |
| I didn't know what I needed I only know I needed something A little help with life's puzzles A chance to be myself in the light And when I need it the most A listening ear or guiding hand A word or two in the right direction CHORUS Then I found a house I could call a home, for a while or a place to learn and be and grow A place full of love and open arms I found some people I could call my own Understanding and a feeling that I'm not alone Its what I needed most to move on to now You can get caught in the middle When everything seems like a riddle And you don't like the game Everyone is playing Well all I wanted was to be real And understand the things I feel And to feel like I have some direction Chorus |
| Calling |
| There's a light on the horizon, and it's calling out my name and before I know what I'm seeing, it's the heartbreaking rust of sunrise.... sunrise. There's a river deep inside this canyon, and it's calling out my name. Step by step and turn by turn, she fills my heart till I'm singing Calling... calling.. calling There's a bird on the wind, and she's calling out my name. To be free once again, to be me.... ah that's the game. There's a longing deep inside my soul, and it's calling out my name. Flows through my life just like the river... cuts through my heart just like sunrise. Calling... calling.... calling |

FALLING DOWN ON THE SNOW, IT HARDLY SEEMS LIKE THE SAME SUN AS ONEAWA OAHU IT'S ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL THERE EVEN IF IT'S RAINING IT'S WARM AND IT'S SO INVITING. NOT LIKE WINTER I'M SO TIRED IT'S SO BITTER IT'S FOR NORWEGIANS I'M IN A THIN SKIN I WAS MEANT TO LIVE IN A BROWNER SKIN ALL YEAR LONG PICKING FRUIT FROM THE TREES AND DRINKING FROM A COOL STREAM LIVING ON THE BEACH PEACEFULLY WHY AM I SPENDING MY DAYS DIGGING CRYSTALS MADE OF WATER WHEN LIFE OUGHTER BE EASIER INSTEAD OF FREEZING HERE I COULD BE MELTING INTO THE OCEAN SINGING SONGS TO MY SOMEONE WHO DESERVES SOME OF THE GOOD LIFE ONEAWA INST. I COULD HAVE STAYED RIGHT THERE I DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE I ONLY THOUGHT I HAD RESPONSIBILITIES NOW LOOKING OUT AT THE SNOW IT SEEMS SO FAR AWAY THAT PARADISE ON THE BEACH WHERE WE GAVE BACK OUR LAYS TO THE OCEAN AND SAND THE FLOWERS SLIPPED THROUGH OUR HANDS JUST LIKE THE TIME WE SHARED ON KAILUA OAHU....... ONEAWA HOW WAS I TO KNOW THAT I WOULD FEEL SO EMPTY COMING HOME NOTHING WAS THE SAME EVERYTHING SO STILL SO FROZEN AND SO BLACK AND WHITE CLOUDY DAYS LONG NIGHTS SO MUCH DARKNESS....... WHAT'S THIS LONELINESS?...... WHERE'S MY HAPPINESS?..... I THINK I CAN GUESS.... ONEAWA.... ONEAWA... ONEAWA....... |
| All Of Me |
| Happy Birthday, my darling this is your love minstrel at your feet again. What to give the woman who has everything a beautiful life, a beautiful man, a beautiful car, and natural beauty Chorus: How can I giveyou what you already have, How can I surprise you? You're reading my mind... So, I don't have to tell you that you already have All of me I could build you a house on a hill over looking the lake, but I did Its a funky house on a little hill but its a really big lake I could sing you a song saying how much I love you but I did and I do and I am...its for you. Chorus You've got my voice, you've got my mind got my heart, all of the time you've got my hands, you've got my hair and where you are, my strength is there Chorus |
