LYRICS
VERSE1
Wind fills the air.
Which way will it blow?
Decisions to make.
Which way should I go?
PRE-CHORUS1
Making a choice.
What should I chose?
Perhaps I will win.
Perhaps I will lose.
CHORUS1
Waves roll’n in,
And out with the tide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.
VERSE2
Clouds in the sky,
Change shape floating by.
Never the same,
And neither am I.
PRE-CHORUS2
The sun or the moon,
How can you chose?
One comforts at night;
One warms us at noon.
CHORUS2
Waves roll’n in,
And out with the tide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.
VERSE3
Trees plant their roots
Firm in the ground,
But I have my feet
To carry me ‘round
PRE-CHORUS3
My dreams always change
That’s part of the fun.
To make life exciting
And not hurt anyone.
CHORUS3
Waves roll’n in,
And out with the tide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.

Decisions (ft. Arianna - vocals)

Arianna vocals
LYRICS
Looked at the stars in the sky.
Thought about how it would look through different eyes.

Through the eyes of another.
Through the eyes of another.

Began to see the world as a very large place.
We are all lonely creatures in a very big space.

Through the eyes of another.
Through the eyes of another.

Eyes Of Another (ft. Arianna - vocals)

Who I've Become

Arianna Rader is featured as the vocalist in this melodic pop-style song about the importance of having a good friend. Written and produced by Dave Heffner.
LYRICS
VERSE1
Many nights before I go to sleep,
I wonder ‘bout the day and what I’d change.
Feelings and memories that I wish to keep,
And those that were new and strange.
CHORUS1
I need a friend who inspires me.
Who is humble, but we can disagree.
Who lifts me up. Who calms me down.
Who’s lots of fun, and who I want around.
Who? A friend like you? Who?...
VERSE2
Planning for changes in my life,
Looking for new skills and thrills,
I want to rise up to challenge myself.
A future in this world.
VERSE3
Travel the bumpy road,
And navigate the twists and turns,
Would be no fun to do it alone,
But to share what I will learn.
CHORUS2
I need a friend who inspires me.
Who is humble, but we can disagree.
Who lifts me up. Who calms me down.
Who’s lots of fun, and who I want around. 
REFRAIN
I need a friend who inspires me.
Who is humble. Who cares for me.
Who? A friend like you!

Speak Up (ft. Arianna Rader - vocals)

Arianna Rader sings this ballad about the need for meditation in our lives. Written and produced by Dave Heffner.
LYRICS
VERSE1
In the stillness
Of the moment,
The sun peeks through the trees.
The day awakens.
I think of the times
I looked, but did not see.
CHORUS1
With Love,
In Peace,
With Kindness,
And Humility.
VERSE2
As the morning
Fades behind me,
I struggle through the day.
Distractions surround me.
Temptations confound me.
I can easily lose my way.
CHORUS2
With Love,
In Peace,
With Kindness,
And Humility.
