Verse 1:
Staring at the inbox
They didn’t pay me enough
Stress every day it wasn’t worth
the 401K
I had to make a way, not drive
45 minutes every day
Found a better quality of life,
not a sacrifice
I can’t believe I’m talking
Barefoot sitting here
Chorus:
Now I go where the street takes
me
Down in the keys
Watch the sunlight dance through
the trees
Verse 2:
Down along the 7 mile bridge
Water to my left and right
Let’s splash and play in the
carefree ocean waves
Down in malory square
Live status move as I walk away
Is a key lime martini alright
How about some live music
tonight
Can u believe we’re talking?
Barefoot sitting here
Chorus:
So let’s go where the street
takes us
Down in the keys
Watch the sunlight dance through
the trees

Cover me
Love me like an ocean
Feel me like a breeze
Be my pirate capture me
I’ll be your ship out on the sea
Grab me like a pistol
Squeeze me
Be my maestro inspire me
Listen closely I am your melody
I’ll be your mystic
You can be my mystery
Brush me like a painting
Color me
Chorus:
Come in from the Cold
I’ll cover you with my love (x2)
Be my sandman
I’ll come into your dreams
Use your telescope I am on the balcony
I am your fortune discover me
Baby I’m your damsel ransom me
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Let me feel you close while you cover me

Get Out Now

Say I’m crazy then you don’t want to listen
Got an answer for everything
Chorus:
Get out now, Out of my way, Get out now
You’ve got it figured out somehow
I hear you saying how silly I think
Few live their dreams
Why waste your time - odds are high why try?
There’s more to this than what you say
(Chorus)
Don’t tell me my dreams won’t turn out
Don’t tell me what to believe
I won’t waste away in a life not mine
It’s my choice my design
Why should I care about what you say
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Whatever you say it doesn’t matter anyway
Yeah yeah if I believe what I say, I don’t need your okay
Say I’m crazy then you don’t want to listen
Got an answer for everything
(Chorus)

Lighting Fires
Words and music by Lee Olsen/Nina Segura
Cruisin' down this lonely highway
Another sunset in our history
I can't see, I can't see
Chorus:
Lighting fires in the rain
Waiting for things to change
What do I..What do I believe in…
Falling down a spiral dreamscape
Never felt so far away from me
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep
(Chorus)
(Chorus)

Wake Up
Music:
Francois Boucher & David W. Donner
Lyrics & Melody: David Donner & Nina Segura ©2002
Troy orders breakfast, but he’s planning
lunch
it’s alright, he can do two things at once
No time, he lost his freedom
He turns the station to hear this song
Chorus:
Wake UP, Slow down x3 it’s time to turn around
WAKE UP! Got to SLOW DOWN
Preoccupations and piles of bills
Work won’t ease his own private hell
If he’d slow down throw his pen aside
hear these words that he can not hide
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Running from a circle of thoughts in the House of Hurry, will he change his
plans look at time more preciously
(Repeat Chorus)
Wake up it’s twenty to twelve 20:2:12

So I Can
Breathe
Music:
Francois Boucher & David W. Donner
Lyrics & Melody: Nina Segura ©2002
I went down the aisle at Calvary,
confessing what I still believe
No more silence I found my voice, and then I made my choice
Chorus:
So I can breathe, so I can breathe
When my words fail will Love be enough?
Will Mercy sip from the justice cup?
So I can breathe, so I can breathe
Through these years I’ve seen hypocrisy, I tried to prove my identity
Like some of them I read recited lines, they said “I’m doing fine”
(Chorus)
Bridge:
But my words don’t make me who I should be, It’s enough that love breathes
through me
2nd Chorus
So I can breathe, so I can breathe
When my words fail Love will be enough
Mercy sip from the justice cup
So I can breathe, so I can breathe….

You’ll
Say Anything
Production:
Francois Boucher & David W. Donner
Lyrics & Melody: Nina Segura ©2002
All those times, you walked by, an
evasive smile tantalizing
Your wishful eyes, stronger than time, if I let you in it’s paralyzing
You could fill my loneliness but you slip away
Tomorrow never came, if it did it would only be delayed
1st Chorus:
You’ll say anything to get what you want, then all you have to say is,
“Goodbye, well, maybe...maybe tomorrow.”
It’s so hard, hard to resist, but your
lies lined up like the horizon
I’ve given more, more than I should, if I could only realize
It’s your game I’m playing… without a clue
Tomorrow never came, if it did it would only be delayed
2nd CHORUS:
You’ll say anything to get what you want, then all you have to say is,
“Goodbye, well, maybe maybe tomorrow.” You’ll say anything to get what you
want, and all I have to say is, “Goodbye, no more! No not tomorrow!”
All those times, you left my side, I
wonder why I idolized
I try to sleep, counting more sheep, I remember how it used to be
I’ll forget about you if it wears me down
Tomorrow never came if it did it would only be delayed
Repeat 2nd CHORUS

I Wanna
LIVE
Words &
Music: David W. Donner & Nina Segura ©2002
In the summer time Mom & I would sing
Then she’d tell me about the dreams of my family
All the things she wanted for me
She sang to me as the day went by
Chorus:
I wanna live and not only survive[x2]
Cuz I am a child of God, I want to live like a child of God [x2]
Now I find myself living my parents
dream
But I still end up searching for meaning
I want to write my own diary
If I am only here just one life-time
(Chorus)
Bridge:
So I am tearing up my parents unfinished business I am taking back what is mine
and I am giving life everything, everything
(Chorus)

Harmony
Words
& Music: David W. Donner & Nina Segura ©2002
When clouds surround the valley’s highest height, I try to see, I try to see,
in clarity
When I keep an open mind, what problem it’s an opportunity
Chorus: You don’t mind, if I search for
harmony, I learned enough to know it don’t come from a world outside of me,
harmony, harmony, harmony, harmony
Beyond any shadow stands the brightest
light, so I search for so I search for harmony; I have seen what I lose
sometimes, perfection accepting humanity
(Chorus)

On the Edge
Music: Francois Boucher, David W. Donner & Nina Segura
Lyrics & Melody: Nina Segura ©2002
Sitting on the edge- on the edge of my seat
My dad says the past is the only legacy
I want to run but I can’t move my feet
He says my mistakes will always control me
Chorus:
I’m on the edge of my future, right here in this place x2
Trying to ignore him no sir, no not this
time
I’m aware of what I’m beginning to achieve
I’m learning to respond to a new reality
His voice sounds familiar but it’s colorless to me
(Chorus)
Bridge:
I stopped hoping that it my dad changed-my circumstance wouldn’t be broken, but
he couldn’t give what he didn’t have and it’s my time to be different
(Chorus)

Sometimes
Music, Lyrics & Melody: David & Donner ©2002
d2 Publishing
He’s on a bench at 3rd and Parkway,
asking for spare change
Some say disgrace is what he’s chosen; some say he’s not to blame
They say a tragedy had taken, his wife and kids one day
And now he just can’t seem to keep his life together
I told him he should find God’s purpose for his hardship
But he had wiser words to say
Chorus:
SOMETIMES – there’s no answer for these tears we cry
SOMETIMES – reason can’t find a reason why
She cried out in the lonely darkness,
she said trust just can’t be found
She slipped a ring off of her finger, and threw it to the ground
The man who vowed to stay forever, just left her there that day
Left her to ask if God is love how could this happen
She called me up and asked can you help me with these questions
These golden words I had to say
(Repeat Chorus)
Tag: I don’t analyze – for His ways, are
higher than mine
In this forsaken place I think of, a
friend that once was mine
Was always there for those around him, but now I must ask why
We left in so much disagreement the last time we parted ways
And now I just can’t cross this bridge that lies between us
My tears fall hard upon this marble slab below me
I lay these flowers down – and hear him say
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
Tag: Don’t analyze – for His ways, are
higher than mine
