Artificial light and
Thunder and rain
See the doves fly and
Soar through the pain
Artificial light and
Thunder and rain
Open door
Evidence unseen
Wanting more
Chasing after dreams
Open door
Evidence unseen
Wanting more
Chasing after dreams

Girlfriend
Let me break it down for you again
Don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem
You are truly genuine
You are truly genuine
[Repeat]
At an early age
Learn to hate what she sees
Kids used to tease
For every hard bleed
We all got needs
To be loved
To be seen
Baby girl, you’s a queen
In a twisted world
Want you to let your love unfurl
The gaze to twirl
The movement to swirl
To know that you’re beautiful
Every single curl
No need to pretend
Gift from the gods
Beauty have a scent
Love within yourself
Romance without an end
Breaking all the barriers
The love that starts within
Caramel sunshine
Beauty in your heart
Beauty in your mind
[Repeat x3]
Ooooooh…oh-oh
And the way you comb your hair
When you let down your curly hair
You’re beautiful…ah-uh
Oooooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Repeat x6]
The feeling within
We are
Open with paper and pen
We are
Power beyond measure
We are
Wealth in the treasure
We are
Worthy of love and pleasure
We are
At work and leisure
We are
Heart, mind, and soul
We are
Don’t let them get you down
You are gold
We are
Breaking all the mold
We are
Going high as they go low
We are
Constant in the flow
We are
More powerful than we know
We are
Not to be bought or sold
We are
Not just the product of stories told
We are
Warm when it gets cold
We are
Never give up
We are bold
Caramel sunshine
Beauty in your heart
Beauty in your mind
[Repeat x3]
We are
[Repeat til fade]

Seeing you
It heals me
You feel me
The way I am
Seeing you
Reveals me
The truth that
We understand
It’s hard sometimes
Life’s so cold
Especially when
You break the mold
It’s hard sometimes
Stories told
But you might be alone
--Chorus--
Get up and dance
Put all those worries away
Taking a chance
To find a better way
Get up and dance
Put all those worries away
[Repeat]
[Repeat all]

This skin is just a skin
Touch me, hold me, kiss me
But please don’t kill me
Repeat
Oh-no-no-no-no, no!
Oh-no-no-no-no!
Repeat
See me
Come on and see me
[Repeat x2]
See me, see me!
This air is so delicious
I want to taste some more
Just like you
The sun is shining and
I’ll keep on dancing
If you’d only quit shooting
And dance with me
Come on and see me
[Repeat x3]
See me, see me!
Step outside
Addicted to sunshine
Some fresh air
Helps to clear my mind
Searching for peace
In this land of war
What the hell are you inciting for?
Won’t lose my head
I know what to do
Restore the bonds
Between me and you
In this world
That got me so confused
No more frustration
No attitude
Some people want to
Push me to the edge
Be careful
You don’t lose your head
Be true, stay working
Don’t have to eat
All the lies they fed
Don’t lose your head because
You know what to do
Stay back and
Give me some room
[Repeat]
Oh-no-no-no-no, don’t kill me
Come on and see me
See me
[Repeat]

Your most important breath
Isn’t your first and your last
It’s what you do in between
Falling, falling
Closer to you
In the midnight of my dreams
Coming close
Do not let go
Ahh-ahh-ahh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ahh-ahh-ah
Sometimes heartbreak
Is the sweetest melody
Open your heart
And set them free
--Chorus--
Release
Let your soul be free
Let your power be
Let your power be
[Repeat]
Your most important test
Is not future or past
It’s the moment right here
In between
Calling, calling
Closer to you
In the twilight of the sea
Y’all don’t let go
Centripetal gravity will pull you back
To who you are
[Realize]
The power from within
[Realize]
Your greatness
[Realize]
That you’re valuable
[Realize]
That you’ll make these
[Realize]
The power from within
[Realize]
Your greatness, your greatness
[Realize]
That you’re valuable
[Realize]
That you’ll make this
You’ll make this
