SEASONS LYRICS Snow is falling down, you’re turning in Darkness all around and deep within Take the time to rest here for a while, Warm by the fire, you know what you need Winter will be over soon Blossoms on the trees, I’m feeling fine Bursting with ideas, I yearn to shine Singing from the top of my lungs me and the birds, visions of love Spring will turn to summer sun Say yes to the summer breeze Set your spirit free Dance yourself clean Joyfully, playfully, like a child Now you’re in your power Flowing like a river With an open heart, that's filled with song So soft and strong Before you know it summer's gone Trees waving goodbye to all their leaves Brown, yellow and golden memories Love yourself, its time to let go You’ve come a long way, you’re doing ok Welcome in the autumn rain.

Shine RSD18 05:12
Shine - RSD18 Hands Vs Luca It’s ok to cry my boy, you don’t need to be brave and strong I know you want to hold her, rock her, brush her hair and sing her song You don’t have to give her up for all those silly plastic guns You can still be a hero, ‘cos violence aint for everyone Sometimes being brave means letting yourself cry Be who you are, and I will love you Don’t listen when they tell you not to Shine Trust who you are, and you will soar free You’re not alone, you can count on me Shine It’s ok to want more let your wild dreams take you there my girl Listen to the voice inside, you’re strong, keep fighting, show the world You don’t need someone to save you, you can be a hero too You can kick and punch as hard so chin up girl its up to you Sometimes you feel shame but you don’t have to hide Be who you are, and I will love you Don’t listen when they tell you not to Shine Trust who you are, and you will soar free You’re not alone, you can count on me Shine I know its hard my darling Sometimes we feel so alone But I’m here, take my hand, we can dance right through this life know in me you have a home Be who you are, and I will love you Don’t listen when they tell you not to Shine Trust who you are, and you will soar free You’re not alone, you can count on me Shine

Flake RSD17 03:30
Flake My world lit up when you said that you would be there Did you think you were just another number, I wouldn’t care? But I felt your empty space like a slap across the face, oh how you made me wait Dolled up thinking about you all the crazy things we’d do how we’d dance the night away And It’s your loss baby I wont take this heartbreak Every time you flake Babe every time you flake Level with me I can take the truth but not your lies I wouldn’t fall so hard if you never took me so high Foolish, what did I expect, you don’t even send a text, boy I’m tired of these games I do everything for you, give my heart and my soul too, but you never ever change And It’s your loss baby I wont take this heartbreak Every time you flake Babe every time you flake I will always live life Like any moment I could die And babe I tell you this time When I do it for me And It’s your loss baby I wont take this heartbreak Every time you flake Babe every time you flake

Dragon Queen They told me it's a man's world baby "No place for little girls like you" They saw a pretty face, a sweet disgrace and nothing more And I said "I'm gonna show you" And the echoes of my heart grew stronger Louder until the voices drowned I am the dragon queen I got a heart on fire Straight from your wildest dreams Too hot to handle, me These wings they took me high above the clouds The air is crystal clear No trace of anyone to hold me back or keep me down Not even my own fears And the echoes of my heart grew stronger Louder until the voices drowned I am the dragon queen I got a heart on fire Straight from your wildest dreams Too hot to handle, me

Rain 03:55
Rain                     (A) I love the rain Nostalgia pours down Sweet melancholy on the roof of my conservatory I feel the pain A splash on the ground And everything down there becomes a part of me I love the rain (A) I love the rain My heartache is cleansed The chance to start again to grow to fly up to the sun This sweet refrain Emotions condensed new beginnings yet we have only just begun To love the rain (B) Dance with me in the Rain Dance with me in the Rain (A) I love the rain The pot overflows I run and look to see what good is there awaiting me The rain will reign  And now my heart knows The treasure lies in the reflection that I see It's in the rain (C) Dance with me in the Rain Dance with me in the Rain Dance with me in the Rain Dance with me in the Rain Ooooooooh it’s in the Rain Ooooooooh it’s in the Rain Ooooooooh it’s in the Rain Ooooooooh it’s in the Rain, the rain, rain

Lashes Lock 03:36
Lashes Lock Verse Could have beens and memories my woken eyes no longer see Just blurred by tears What I’d give for one more smile For one more moment only ours The stolen years Bridge I cant see you in the flesh, but those who beg can't choose Chorus As my lashes lock and I give in to the night give in to the night You’re all I want and I hold on to the night hold on to the night Lashes lock and everything’s alright Verse Daylight breaks the moment I kiss you Silence kills, the more that I miss you the (stop) less it fills No lipstick stains, but the taste of you lingers I smudge my lips with the tips of my fingers (to find traces of you) Bridge I want to dream again, take me to you Chorus As my lashes lock and I give in to the night give in to the night You’re all I want and I hold on to the night hold on to the night Lashes lock and everything’s al Chorus As my lashes lock and I give in to the night give in to the night You’re all I want and I hold on to the night hold on to the night (gentle) Lashes lock and everything’s alright Lashes lock and everything’s alright

China Doll 03:27
China Doll (A) Fragile as a china doll  thrown up in the air Suspended Pieces everywhere And where were you When I needed your arms around me? Where were you Floating in the absence of a body? (A) They put back the pieces  But some cracks won't heal Holes where beams of light Shine through hollow I have cried But These tears don't ever go away I've learnt to smile But that's the only thing that's changed (B) In my first heartbreak To see me when I graduate To pick out my wedding dress  And pick up the children from school You're the first one I'd call You know all my secrets  You know all my flaws And through it all  You adored your china doll  Forever more (A) I wrote you a letter tied to a balloon Sent it to the sky But no reply But I feel you In every word I sing and speak Somehow I know That you hear me Near, near me

Salt 03:15
Salt          V1 When I'm with you I think of her She's always on my mind  Always on my mind And though I want to love you more  Baby, I can't lie, I'm a terrible lier Br She's like a breath so fresh  That flows through my fro fro Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh She gives me space to race my car  To I don't know Who knows, who cares, it's not about getting there  Chorus Sheeeeeeeeeez  The salt of the earth My city God she's pretty Sheeeeeeeeeez  My universe My city God she's pretty V2 Safe for the pocket not the heart  Living on the edge paying for the thrill  I don't know where it ends or starts I'm not needed here, doubt I ever will be (do you need me) Br She's like a beat with heat That goes through my toes toes Aaaaaaaah Africa  She's the waterfall in my soul  overflows  I grow, feel free, she loves me for being me  Chorus (x2) Sheeeeeeeeeez  The salt of the earth My city God she's pretty Sheeeeeeeeeez  My universe My city God she's pretty Ch2 (x4) If you have a city you love Put your hands up Put your hands up for the city that you love Chorus (x4 and jam out) Sheeeeeeeeeez  The salt of the earth My city God she's pretty Sheeeeeeeeeez  My universe My city God she's pretty

Apocalypse 03:29
Apocalypse                  (V1) Every year someone predicts  The world is going to end Prepare for the apocalypse And hold on to your friends Ma’ayans, scientists, priests and some Believe we are to blame A 4.5 billion year old earth  is crying out for change  (Br)  What would you do? (If this was true) What would you do? (What would you?) We won't throw it away Change our colours for grey This is what we have to say: (Ch) We live it up, we take chances Life is the music and we are the dancers We're shining so bright  We can't be eclipsed So kiss my apocalypse (V2) Lost in time and space In space and time In time and space Where all our time floating around  Can feel like such a waste Is there some heroic man Who'll save us on doomsday? By blowing up some big old Rock Heading tward earths way (Br) What would you do? (If this was true) What would you do? (What would you?) We won't throw it away Change our colours for grey This is what we have to say: (Ch) x2 We live it up, we take chances Life is the music and we are the dancers We're shining so bright  We can't be eclipsed
