1. HIGHER ROAD
Lyrics by Tracy Niles
Sometimes I wonder I'm walkin' in thunder
And I'm talkin' with disregard
Dropped my guitar, locked my keys in the car
I'm overdrawn on my credit card
Met a man at a glance, and I gave him a chance
He asked me out for coffee and scones
I found him appealing, but I had the strangest feeling
He had a woman at home
I'm so broken down
Crazy and my heart is cold
Oh, but I'm trying to find the strength
To take a
Well my Landlady called me said she needed to talk to me
Complainin' about her 'lectric bill
"Said I'm needin' some heat, don't put me out on the street
I need somethin' to take off that chill"
Ran into my ex, tore his name from my rolodex
He's not the guy I wanted to see
Don't need no reminders how I had on the blinders
Wasn't living in reality
I'm so broken down
Crazy and my heart is cold
Oh, but I'm trying to find the strength
To take a
When I'm livin' in sync, I can't understand
How my attitude is left behind
I gotta make peace with the rebel inside
I get down on my knees and swallow my pride
When I'm out of control and my gut has a hole
And I feel like I could misbehave
Everything is crashing my hazards are flashing
Give me everything I crave
Get out of the head game, look into the candle flame
Take a breath and close my eyes
Pray and meditate, thoughts don't agitate
Gonna ease my foolish mind
I'm so broken down
Crazy and my heart is cold
Oh, but I'm trying to find the strength
To take a Higher Road
I'm so broken down
Crazy and my heart is cold
Oh, but I finally found the strength
To take a
2. YOU'RE MY WAY HOME
Music and Lyrics by Tracy Niles
Strong and free
Like a wind you came along
Following birds under their wings to the sea
And then you heard my song
It must have come as no surprise
You saw it in your dreams, yeah
To be a teacher and the wise
Of this life and what it means
You are my way home
When you look into my eyes
You are my way home
Look into my eyes
Crazy unknown journey
Can't waste time, you must choose
You said take a chance, don't analyze, you must try
What have you got to lose?
You pointed me to the sky and to my heart
Said, listen listen child
How many nights I cried, the fear inside, what a ride
But, I climbed, and you grinned and you smiled
You are my way home
When you look into my eyes
You are my way home
Look into my eyes
You hear the oceans call
But, it's too soon, you're not leavin'
You never let me fall, now we're on the road
You believe in me, now I believe in myself
You are my way home
When you look into my eyes
You are my way home
Look into my eyes
You came to me and I don't know why
Unselfishly and stayed by my side
Set the stage gave me room to grow
You're my way let me tell you so
You
3. OVER & OVER
Music and Lyrics by Tracy Niles
Every time I see you suffering
I can't deny the way I feel
A lie in your eye and you are faded
Over and over a broken reel
You can't keep runnin'
I know the lie
The child inside that you can't reach
And he's running and it makes me want to cry
If you believe that you're invincible
Sooner than later it takes a toll
Looking on years of waste and wreckage
Over and over a broken soul
You can't keep running
I know the lie
The child inside that you can't reach
And he's running and it makes me want to cry
So, you're not alone
The unassuming, kind man I know
It's not about the will of your mind
The weak or the blind
Don't leave me
If you believe you'll live forever
I wish that you could see the truth
I wish we could spend more times together
Over and over and over and over and over
You can't keep running
I know the lie
The child inside that you can't reach
And he's running and it makes me want to cry
So, you're not alone
The unassuming, kind man I know
It's not about the will of your mind
The weak or the blind
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
4. BUTTERFLY
Music and Lyrics by Tracy Niles
If you're caught up in the race, it's getting you down
There's no smile upon your face, only a frown
Think about love little baby, and give it away
If your mind's a lonely place, it's a ghost town
Then you know what I'm talkin' about
In your little hiding room, hours alone
Had to grow up all too soon, that set the tone
Think about love little baby, and give it away
You can't take it back, you're always on the run
You must get out of the way
Learning to
Free Your Wings, you've got to
Free Your Wings, you've gotta
Free Your Wings and learn how to fly
Butterfly
If you're looking for resolve, paint your mural
Give it time and you'll evolve, you precious girl
Think about love little baby, and give it away
You can't take it back, you're always on the run
You must get out of the way
Learning to
Free Your Wings, you've got to
Free Your Wings, you've gotta
Free Your Wings and learn how to fly
Free your wings,
Free
Free
Butterfly
Butterfly
5. EVERYTHING WITH YOU
Music and Lyrics by Tracy Niles
First night on a blind date
You met my groove so soon
You tapped into my senses baby
Oh our dancing and rhythm in tune
You find a love only once in a while
All aboard I'm going the mile
I want to do everything with you
I want to do everything with you
No doubt or hesitation
I felt it in my bones right away
Ain't no doubt about it, you can't get it back
Once you're gone and you're goin' all the way
You find a love only once in a while
All aboard I'm going the mile
Fallin' in love, was your first mistake of the day
See my only one, faded away
I want to do everything with you
I want to do everything with you
Fallin' in love, was your first mistake of the day
See my only one, faded away
I want to do everything with you
I want to do everything with you
I want to sing with you baby
Oh I want to dance with you baby
I want to swing with you baby
I want to snuggle with ya baby
Oh I want to please ya baby
Oh I want to please ya baby
Oh I want to sing, I want to dance, I want to swing
I want to snuggle I ant to cuddle
I want to do everything - Come on!
6. OUT OF THE SHADOW
Music and Lyrics by Tracy Niles
I couldn't love you anymore than I do
You have given me life
I couldn't hold you any closer than I do
To my soul, I've found my way home
I was running from my thoughts and desires
To face the edge unseen
Leaving behind the fools and the liars
For a place so calm and serene
I found my way home
Out of the shadow, I crawled out on my knees
Breaking the silence, I am free
The brambles and thorns of a hopeless remorse
The burns and the blisters of shame
As I harness the freedom to walk through these doors
Life is different, yet somehow the same
Today I have learned a new sense of myself
Thanks to you I am finally whole
Thank you for giving me sanity
Thank you for giving me hope
Thank you for bringing me home
Out of the shadow, I crawled out on my knees
Breaking the silence, I am free
I couldn't live without you, you're my one release
Out of the Shadow, into the sun
7. THE VOICE WITHIN
Music and Lyrics by Tracy Niles
Big world, lonely little girl, she was born with a mother of pearl
She's gone and what's the cause
Influence, affluence. persistent male pursuance
She's gone and what's the cost
Listen to the voice within, Rise above the game
Listen to the voice within, Be yourself no Shame
Listen to the voice within, Ignite your flame
Or pay the consequences
And they are Circling, Not progressing
Falling prey to society
They are Hurting, hiding
Holding on to propriety
Perfect lovers, listening to our mothers, focused on magazine covers
I'm drowning in ideal
Liposuction, tummy-tuckin, botox, fake locks, we're livin in a box
What is real?
Listen to the voice within, Rise above the game
Listen to the voice within, Be yourself no Shame
Listen to the voice within, Ignite your flame
Or pay the consequences
From within, feel your beauty and your grace
Through your skin, let it breathe and radiate
Listen to the voice within, Rise above the game
Listen to the voice within, Be yourself no Shame
Listen to the voice within, Ignite your flame
Or pay the consequences
And they areCircling, Not progressing
Falling prey to society
They are Hurting, hiding
Holding on to propriety
Listen to the voice within, Rise above the game
Listen to the voice within, Be yourself no Shame
Listen to the voice within, Ignite your flame
Or pay the consequences
Repeat
8. DRIVING ME MAD
Music and Lyrics by Tracy Niles
Oh no! You've gone and caught my eye
You're the kind of guy who's gonna make me cry
Pretty soon all my thoughts are runnin' wild
And they're makin' me smile
You probably be a two-timin' man but you're
Driving me mad
Oh no! You're good at playin' the game
You're the kind of guy who won't remember my name
You make a move, you're only wanting one thing
And I'm ready to swing
You must be a two-timin' man but you're
Driving me mad
All the clever things that you say
Just to get your way
You say you found a mate for your soul
It's all over, I'm losing control
Oh no! You're not the man that I need
You're the kind of guy who's gonna make me bleed
You give a look and I'm hanging by a thread
Oh I'm out of my head
You're probably a two-timing man but you're
Driving me mad
All the clever things that you say
Just to get your way
You say you found a mate for your soul
It's all over, I'm losing control
You're driving me mad
You're driving me mad
You're driving me mad
You're driving me mad, yeah
9. MOVIN' ON
Music and Lyrics by Tracy Niles
Verse 1:
It's been a month since I told you I'm gone
I had to be alone
And then I heard you were out with a girl so
I called you on the telephone
You said "Baby you're the one that's leavin' me
All I can do is live on and let you be"
But, that ain't right, I know better than that
Chorus:
I know you gave me all that you got
But what I want is something you're not
So it's time to listen up
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
Verse 2:
We had our problems like everyone else but
You blamed them all on me
It ain't fair you won't give of yourself
It's two now, why can't you see
You said "Baby don't have time to mess around,
Don't be foolish, you'll just have to settle down"
But, that ain't right, I know better than that
Chorus:
I know you gave me all that you got
But what I want is something you're not
So it's time to listen up
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on on on
Bridge:
You wanted to live with me
All the things you did for me we had such a good time
But, when it mattered, everything shattered
I saw you weren't the marrying kind
You said "Baby, many women hurt me bad,
Deal with it lady and accept me as I am"
But that ain't right, I won't settle for that
Chorus:
I know you gave me all that you got
But what I want is something you're not
So it's time to listen up
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on on on on
Movin' on
Movin' on
Movin on on on on on
Movin on
10. I'M ALIVE
Music and Lyrics by Tracy Niles
I love to go to the ocean and just relax awhile
And feel the sun on my skin it makes me smile
I love the sand on my feet, I love to rub it all over
I love to go home, I love what you do to me
Oh feel, love to see
That love shine in your eyes
Oh feel, I'm alive
I love a sense of elation (and) intelligent conversation
You have a heart and you know I'm lovin' you
I love a face that's glowing, all of it overflowing
I love a silly heart and you know I'm lovin you
Oh feel, love to see
That love shine in your eyes
Oh feel, I'm alive
Oh, that love shine in your eyes
Oh feel, I'm alive
