Why Not 03:36
WHY NOT Lyrics: These Steps Are not like any other Each one Is just a little harder One inch And then two Slowly becomes A foot or few Sweat runs Down your face Your mind Plays silly games One tale After another Then the weight Leans harder and harder Why not Keep climbing those steps Why not Keep feeling that sweat Why not face all your fears BE BRAVE Why not Say what you want Why not Open your heart Why not Let love shine in Lost you along the way You disappeared around the bend Always got to be in front Never stopping to Breath Our desert air So I’ll take that last Mile alone The hardest one yet Heart pounding against my chest I will follow The wind of the crows You can’t turn back now even if you tried You’ve come too far -leave that road behind Life has a way of throwing you back around If you keep on fighting with what’s allowed Why not Keep climbing those steps Why not Keep feeling that sweat Why not face all your fears BE BRAVE Why not Say what you want Why not Open your heart Why not Let love shine in BE BRAVE

Your heart holds me here I saw the boughs laden today With the first September snow And all the while I thought of you In August’s golden glow And overhead the blackbirds fly Towards lands I’ll never know Each passing day I feel the pull To pack my bags and go But your heart holds me here Like a sunbeam in my arms And no matter when the wild wind beats the door The storm ain’t gonna do me no harm Cause your heart holds me here With winter coming on A miner takes the gold from the hill the farmer ploughs the row a lover goes a-courtin when The springtime rivers flow And even now when autumn’s fruit Is freezing on the bough You place your hands upon my neck And lips upon my brow And your heart holds me here Like a sunbeam in my arms And no matter when the wild wind beats the door The storm ain’t gonna do me no harm Cause your heart holds me here With winter coming on I said winter’s coming on And when the snowdrift’s pilin up around the door And the heat is comin on I’ll thank God that your heart Held me here

Road of Life 03:38
Road of Life There was a time when I was running fast for you The clouds wee heavy And the rain was hard The clock keeps on ticking Seconds become years I close my eyes gently And I’m already in tears But if I had a chance I would do it all over again Do it all over again You and me on this road I would load up the hatchback Head East on Highway 40 Do it all over again You and me on this road of life There was a time That it was just you and I And then all of a sudden It was four of us Birthday candles glowing Grey hair is flowing I take a deep breath To fight off all the stress But if I had a chance I would do it all over again Do it all over again You and me on this road I would load up the hatchback Head East on Highway 40 Do it all over again You and me on this road of life You and Me (You and Me) On this on this road There was a time When we would sneak to the beach And not it’s a walk Around the neighborhood park Parents growing older Kids give cold shoulder thirty -plus years Working nine to five But if I had a chance I would do it all over again Do it all over again You and me on this road I would load up the hatchback Head East on Highway 40 Do it all over again You and me on this road of life You and me on this road of life

It Will Never Be the Same After All is said & done We’ll Just Lay there quite & stunned It’s All Out in the open now… It will never be the same (2x) Ocean breeze & sandy feet Nervous breaths smoke stained sheets All out of excuses tonight.. We just gotta hold on tight It Will Never be the Same Our lonely paths crossing in vain Wondering what’s Behind those eyes Cloudy nights or shots of fire The full moon shines & smiles so bright The bonfire snaps & hisses its’ tongue Dancing to the wine and drums… Slowly inching closer as one (2x) Coffee brewing & the morning sun Hiding under the covers won’t fool anyone What will become of us… Good or bad it’s been so fun (2x) It Will Never be the Same Our lonely paths Crossing in vain Wondering what’s Behind those eyes Cloudy nights or shots of fire Cloudy nights or shots of fire ###

SOMEDAYS Somedays I don’t brush my hair Somedays I don’t paint my toes Somedays I don’t shave my legs Most days I just go with the flow My hips will move and sway My thighs are smooth and strong My brown skin is here to say I’ve worked for these curves and there here to stay And I am.. all….. woman What you see might not matter to me And I am.. not…. defined by your stupid little opinion your thinking of me Don’t confuse me with emotional Don’t put me in your little box Don’t try to hold me down Or I might just let you know what it’s all about Cause I’m.. all ….woman There’s so.. much more than what you see I am... flyin free so go.... on except me or just let me be (spoken word) I shouldn’t still have to provin Jussssstfyin Jus....t To be heard Jus....t To be counted Jus....t To be validated I mean, C’mon Hold your women up in your life Don’t cut her DOWN just because you afraid of her strength Hold your women UP Because they will hold YOU up higher and higher than you could ever see Let her rise Let her be Let her free Get over your insecurities.

Its Coming 03:58
It’s Coming I never said that I’d be faithful I never said that I’d be true to you I only promised you this moment But now I’m wondering what I got myself in to We never meant to be together We never meant to go and paint this town And every time I try to leave you Well the city limit sign’ll see my mind just a turning round Well it seemed so right when I was a child To take this match and light it But you never did know when the fire would go And burn it down From the very first time I felt so wild You know I tried to fight it But I never have been the type to know How to turn it down Baby it’s coming Like a full moon light on a summertime night It’s coming And I’m helpless in your arms Baby it’s coming And I need your love To cool me down And keep me from harm . . . People always get to talking If they see a good thing you know they got to tear it down You and me, we got something Keeps my feet . . on . . . the ground Keeps me hang . . . ing . . . around Chorus Baby it’s coming Like a full moon light on a summertime night It’s coming And I’m helpless in your arms Baby it’s coming And I need your love To cool me down And keep me around Cause you’re the one (Craig only) Outro Chorus (ad lib): Baby it’s coming Ya..Ya...Ya... It’s coming Every Single Night I wait for the Dream It’s Coming Baby It’s coming Come on Down Bring it to.. Me Baby To cool me down Baby it’s coming Bring it on Down & can’t wait to see you baby Baby It’s coming Bring it on Down & you know that I need to be cooled down Baby It’s coming Bring it on Down cause you know that I need ya To cool me down Cause you’re the one

Manzanita Bee Lyrics: Manzanita Bee Your buzzing calls me Mahogany temps me to touch White lanterns lure me Bloom in your haven In manzanita barrens You steal my nectar Bypassing the flower Little Apple Honey scent Pollinate As you went Take what I give To life and you Breathe in me I breathe in you Do you follow me Manzanita bee Come dance in the winter sun As spring is soon to come Don’t forget me Manzanita bee Our time has been fun But i will return Little Apple Honey scent Pollinate As you went Take what I give To life and you Breathe in me I breathe in you Our time is brief So much to do The flower invites me My honey bee Our time is brief So much to do The flower invites me Manzanita bee Manzanita Bee Your buzzing calls me Mahogany temps me to touch White lanterns lure me Bloom in your haven In manzanita barrens You steal my nectar Bypassing the flower Little Apple Honey scent Pollinate As you went Take what I give To life and you Breathe in me I breathe in you man…., za……. ni.... …ta……..bee.. ta bee.......

Juniper redolence Lyrics: Juniper redolence, you linger on Wild wind essence, long after you’re gone Your warm echoes brush my earlobes Calling, haunting in desert willows It was there – yaquitepec (YAKeete-PECK) A top Ghost Mountain, where you kept Adobe walls arched doorways Imagine what life would be in those days I close my eyes Envision your life Family of five Just trying to survive House of the sun Softly scamper souls that run Around the rocky peaks Playing hide and seek I climb and climb wondering what I might find Wishing to move back in time Careful to not disturb grounded feet As I allow my mind to retreat Courageous Laguna You’re in my sight Julian peaks just off to the right Surrounded by mountain peaks My heart and soul.. you will keep I close my eyes Envision your life Family of five Just trying to survive House of the sun Softly scamper souls that run Around the rocky peaks Playing hide and seek As the sun cools and voices hush We will soon come upon dusk We will drive the bend and say goodbye Until we return for another time

OCOTILLO BLOSSOM Lyrics: Ocotillo blossom in coyote canyon humming bird sip your nectar Orange of fire that surely calls them Pulling you closer to the earth She says, it mine and i wont share For this sweetness that fills the air Belongs to me and don’t you dare Take the ocotillo blossom from me But its you that calls to me Coyote (coyote) Canyon so vast and free Coyote (coyote) So pure, so sweet Hummingbirds (treat) Oh how you call to me Ocotillo (blossoms) From Sandy soil and naked hills In winter, you birth your chuparosa Canyons call, wind that fills That coyote canyon to hold you In lower willows a bird cools his heals In the creek out of the blazing heat Mourning doves and quails scratch Looking for some seeds to eat But its you that calls to me Coyote (coyote) Canyon so vast and free Coyote (coyote) So pure, so sweet Hummingbirds (treat) Oh how you call to me Ocotillo (blossoms) Howl in the night Sing to me Under the moon.... light When morning comes And your long gone My ocotillo blossom will rise But its you that calls to me Coyote (coyote) Canyon so vast and free Coyote (coyote) So pure, so sweet Hummingbirds (treat) Oh how you call to me Ocotillo (blossoms) Oh how you call to me Ocotillo (blossoms)

Winter Wind 03:54
Winter Wind Hearing the sound of the screen door slam Taillights bleed into black Clock on the wall says its two AM And I doubt you’re coming back I sit in my chair by the table side Howling breath all around Fingers of cold come creeping in Surrounded by your sound Just when I feel that my Heart cannot be broken again You come on home with your haunted eyes And the sound . . . of a winter wind Fence line runs by the highway’s edge Trees are dark as night Snow blows over the road until My pathway drifts out of sight Just when I feel that my Heart cannot be broken again You come on home with your haunted eyes And the sound . . . of a winter wind Blowin me cold whenever I’m warm Breaking off branches in your storm Pickin me up and then dropping me down Leaving me so I ne . . . . .ver know Blowin me cold whenever I’m warm Breaking off branches in your storm Pickin me up and then dropping me down Leaving me so I ne . . . . .ver know
