Ooh, ya popped into my brain,

Yeah, I hear the soothing sound

The wind is ours
Cloudcover never felt so good
Ah, it blows water
Into your tired face
Visualize
Let it breathe into your soul
A tropic waterfall
You in a tranquil grace...

For emptiness was there, dusky night and despair,
Then, I saw you

Feeling joy like never before
And as my chariot cloud took flight,

(You) Harm Me

Background c.2004. Lyrics c.2003-2004.
Recorded, mixed and produced by David Donofrio

Verse 1
At the start I remember flirting in class
We were young and you sat by me
Used to get us in trouble, all our laughing all the time.
But then a prank phone caller
Who was filled with jealousy
Decided to play a game and end it
Between you and me
Hook to Chorus
You wrote me a letter, said it'd be better
If I didn't call no more
I wrote that I did not, but it just was not the same
After the flower I gave no response, you, you,
Chorus
(You) Harm Me
Baby when you act
(You) Harm Me
Baby this is why
It's Over
Can't you see? That when
(You) Harm Me
Girl, you don't
Understand Me
Living like this,
It can't be
That's the end of "we," 'cause
(You) Harm Me
Verse 2
At that dance, it was difficult for me to ask ya
If you wanted to hit the floor
It took one of your friends to negotiate out a "yes"
I was nervous, shaking hands
As I placed them on your hips
But dancing wasn't like
I'd dreamed it to be
Hook to Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
A relationship should not end this way
When those phone calls took your sweetness away
We admitted it was our first time dancing
But you said "no" for a date,
And I never heard a word again.
Chorus 2x

So let me see you
Chorus
Bridge
And yet you're like something,
Something a little retro,
Something like I'm in a time-warp, baby
But it's okay, 'cause you're by my side
I know it may sound a little crazy
But it's alright (It's okay)
Mmm...Babe, we're in Heaven, baby! Yea!...
We are crazy!
I love you more than the dawn of day
I will always be there, count on me, baby
So don't you fret, and in my arms you'll see
Eternally, eternally

Verse 1
I was wandering through the forest
As the autumn winds grew swift
I was in a grove of maples
As the leaves began to drift
And at that moment I felt my soul
Joining leaves in their descent,
Descending gladness upon all
Wherever I went
Chorus
And I Could Sing
Through the mountains, set so free
I could sing inside a new part of me
I could sing, flowing with the waterfall,
For I knew that day that I had found my call
Verse 2
On that day I felt so distant
Like forgotten memories
I cried earlier when I felt
I could not be at ease
But somehow the wind filled me
With a soul that was anew
Somehow, deep within me,
I was moved so through and through
Chorus 2x
For I knew that day that I had found my call!

A royal springtime every day?
In the woods of life, I meet a queen
Hair in a crown, perfection seen!

Dawn is shining in our hearts,
Pearls rain, sparkles of the arts,
Peace becomes diamonds airborne,
And never shall we hear a child mourn!
Life is destined, the vision lives,
To become glorious, everyone gives
I saw over mountain, over sea,
The queen's shining power, dawn's beauty!
She said

Perfection reigns through the earth,
Children playing, happiness' birth...
Dawn is shining in our hearts,
Pearls rain, sparkles of the arts... Oh...

The sky don't rain keeping me sane!

Verse 1
They say you're wearing something too short
They say you ain't playing the right sport
But baby you know, they are wrong
'Cause baby, they can't take away your song
For they can't take away your own song
They can't take away your heart that's never wrong
They can't take away the beliefs that are you
'Cause they can't separate what's right and what's true
Chorus
For they can't take away your Individuality
Can't take away your Individuality
Can't take away your Individuality
Can't take away, no, they can't take away
Can't take away, can't take away you.
Verse 2
They say you're acting "so uncool"
They say that you "just broke another rule"
But baby you know that they lie
'Cause baby, they can't hear you when you cry
For they can't understand how they lie
They can't figure out why you cry
They can't understand the beliefs that are you
'Cause they can't look inside and discover truth
Chorus
Verses 1 & 2 Medley, key change
Chorus 2x
Can't take away, no they can't
Can't take away, can't take away you!
