You 03:50
You, you You, you are a star in the sky, You’re the light in my darkest night It’s true, you never fade, You show me the way when I’m losing sight My life would be a hassle if it wasn’t for you You’ve got me high as heaven With the things that you do You’ve got me living in the here And now and having a blast Tomorrow’s the future and yesterday’s past With you, I don’t have to ask ‘cos you understand and you know my need It’s true, you give me space yet There’s always a place in your heart for me With you, I’m not alone ‘cos you’re there everywhere in the air I breathe It’s true, I’m not alone ‘cos the things that you do Give me reason to believe

Break Free 04:09
Lately I’ve been drowning in a sea of once cherished dreams Lately I’ve been drowning in a sea of once cherished dreams Generation after generation of expectation pulls me under Pulls me under Dragged along by the undercurrent of everyone’s demands Oh so many demands…..but I’m gonna break free, gonna let it loose tonight You’re gonna see, there’s more to me I won’t keep me hid inside I’m gonna break free, gonna let it loose tonight You’re gonna see, there’s more to me I won’t be keeping me inside I’m gonna make it to my new horizon state of mind I’m gonna make it to my new horizon state of mind There’s peace to find The beauty of pain is realized in the changes made Let’s celebrate, celebrate the time to break out Now that I’m awake … Free, I’m gonna break free … yeah

I'm on Fire 02:58
Hey little boy is your mama home Did she go away and leave you all alone I got a bad desire I’m on fire Tell me now baby is she good to you Can she do to you the things that I do I can take you higher I’m on fire It’s like someone took a knife baby Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley Through the middle of my soul At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet And a freight train running through the Middle of my head You cool my desire I’m on fire

I run with the wolf, I play with fire, Born huntress, raised virgin I’m running with wolves and playing with fire, Fascination with fantasy I wanna live, I wanna feel, I just wanna breath, I wanna live, I want to live. The wind in my hair, the soles of my feet Are soiled in my bid for freedom In need of rest, Sucking the remnant scent of a lover Passion and power I wanna live, I wanna feel I just wanna breathe, I wanna live, I want to live. Watch me know I’m the Huntress Strong and proud I roam the night Pure as lightning, swift and agile Truth is chilling in the light Yeah the truth is chilling in the light I wanna live, I wanna feel I just wanna breathe, I wanna live I want to live

She’s clearing out the wardrobe again In need of clarity and good good friend She’s given it some thought and a whole lot of time She’s clearing out the cobwebs, where the sun don’t shine Some things just get outta date, Some things just don’t fit no more Some things you can’t excuse as a bad joke, They just don’t do you justice like they did before Some things just get outta hand Some things just don’t look no good no more Some things they make you look pale and tired They just don’t do you justice like they did before

Take a look and tell me what you see, I’m so scared There ain’t no courage left in me and I’m afraid I don’t know me anymore, ‘cos you don’t own me anymore I don’t know me anymore, ‘cos you don’t own me anymore I took a walk on the other side and I felt so brave A little step and then I crossed the line, now I’m not the same I don’t know me anymore, and I don’t know what I’m not asking for I don’t know me anymore, ‘cos you don’t own me anymore If I am me and you are you, therein lies the contradiction And if you are you and I am me, therein lies the mystery You see, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t own me You don’t, you don’t, you don’t own me, you don’t, You don’t own me, You don’t own me anymore Take a look and tell me what you see, I’m so scared Ain’t no courage left in me and I’m afraid Now I don’t know me anymore ‘ cos you don’t own me anymore Now I don’t know me anymore ‘ cos you don’t own me anymore

If I gave my heart to you, what would you say If I gave my heart to you, what would you do Would you laugh out loud, think me naïve Call me a fool, is that what you’d say Would you touch me face, breathe in deep Kiss my skin, is that what you’d do What you’d do Would you lose your cool, run away Tell me to go, is that what you’d say Would you hold me close, whisper my name Tell me the truth, is that what you’d do What you’d do I didn’t mean to fall in love with you, I just needed somewhere to hide I didn’t mean to fall in love with you, And if you knew, what would you do

I will never know what it’s like to be the one you come home to I’ll never know what it is to be the one you adore Never even know, if you care or if I’m just another pretty girl You used to know, I’ll never know Tell me lady, what’s it like to have him standing by your side Saying I’ll be there for you, my darling, always coming home, Saying I love you, I love you, I love you my sweetheart I want you, I need you, I love you my darling I will never know I will never know what it is to comfort you I’ll never know what it is to be the mother of your child I’ll never know, if you care or if I’m just another pretty girl You used to know, I’ll never know Tell me lady, does he bring you flowers, Paint your world in red Does he cook for you and sing to you Burn candles in your bedroom Saying I love you, I love you, I love you my sweetheart I want you, I need you, I love you my darling I will never know, I will never know I will never know, I will never know, I will never know

Fantasy Girl 03:21
Don’t want to be missing ya missin ya Just want to be kissing ya kissing ya I’m sick and tired of yearning, Think it’s time I was learning So what – I don’t get to share your bed So what – I don’t have to keep you fed I got – a better deal We got – a love that’s so unreal I’ll be the one you dream of, I‘ll be your fantasy girl I’m gonna make you scream love Gonna turn you right around I’ll be the one you dream of, I’ll be your fantasy girl I’m gonna make you scream love, Gonna turn you upside down Gonna turn you upside down Don’t wanna be bugging ya bugging ya, Just wanna be hugging ya hugging ya I’m sick and tired of waiting, It’s time I was appreciating So what – I don’t get to share your name, So what – I don’t have to take the blame I got - a better deal We got – a love that’s so unreal If we were in a parallel universe, if we had another lifetime I’d make damn sure I got to you first, but baby, baby in the meantime...

Sinnamon 03:17
Sinnamon dances alone She spins round the floor to the music What does she see when she closes her eyes Sinnamon dances alone Sinnamon opens her eyes For a second you think you must know her She looks at your face but sees someone else Sinnamon opens her eyes Sinnamon, you’re so sweet Sinnamon you’re so far, far out of reach Sinnamon’s faith is so pure In a world that’s jaded and weary Sinnamon baby, he’s not coming home Sinnamon dances alone Sinnamon dances alone Suddenly the time comes for leaving Poised and polite, she’s heading for home Sinnamon dances alone

It’s not with your eyes, that you see the real me Don’t be surprised, that you can confide in me I’m a thousand years old, a meandering stream Water to your soul, I know where you’ve been Well it’s mountains, rivers and dreams, On the edge of what is and what seems to be Boundless oceans and streams, I am despite who I seem to be Yes it’s circles, rivers and dreams, On the edge of what is and what seems to be Boundless oceans and streams, I am despite who I seem to be
