Verse 1:
Where did you come from? How did it start? 
Never thought that someone would have such power over my heart. 
Never understood why love songs were always sung, 
Til' you gave me reason for my guitar strings to be strung.

Bridge: 
Oh, oh, oh. I've never read so much between the lines before. 
With just a look, a touch, I wonder if you really mean more.
Please understand how defeated I feel when i'm with you,
You've broken through; I'd gladly lose. 

Chorus: You are gravity, the one I have to keep.
 Like a law that i have to obey, I've never ever felt this way. 
Gravity, you are the one for me,
I don't really care what else you do, just be there to catch me
When I fall for you. 

Verse 2: 
Why do I miss you? Why do I care
If you care about me, if you're here or if you're there? 
So I won't laugh, won't show that I've been thinking about you for a while,
But my lips will defy me, 'cos they're breaking into a smile.

Gravity

Verse 1:
This world has given us so much, what have we done in return?
We damage its beautiful surface; I wonder when we’ll ever learn. 
The trees that are all around us feel and hurt just as we do.
Treasuring Mother Nature is all up to me and you.

Bridge:
It’s not too late to start to make a difference,
We only need the will to try.
Let’s keep it green and let the future generations,
Live under a clear blue sky.

Chorus:
Every little thing we do amounts to a change that’s big and new.
Do the right thing and cherish the natural wonders we can see.
Every single one of us can help only if we care,
The power is in our hands; to give our world everything we can. 

Verse 2:
What have we done to the place we live in,
And what have we done to ourselves?
Our selfish thoughts and desires leave us deaf to warning bells.
So sit up, open your eyes and soon you’ll see a brand new world.
Nature’s magic’s in front of us, more precious than any pearl.

Wonders We Can See

Curtain Call version of "Just Believe" from the play "Inner State" performed at Drama Festival of the Arts July 2011
(Recorded July 18, 2011) 

Just Believe (Curtain Call)

All my life I’ve been moving forward, blindly taking a step at a time.
Never knowing just where I was going, till you came and you made me stop and look at.
You were something unexpected, and I’m frightened ‘cos it happened so fast. 
I need patience, give me time, to help me read your mind. 

You are all that I’ve been thinking of these past few days
Trying not to let it show,
But everytime I close my eyes I see your face,
And I’m losing control, so I need you to know. 

I see butterflies and rainbow skies all because you’re near, 
I’d be lost in your arms, and you in mine, we’ll dream about life away from here. 
I see something new, feeling things, things I never knew
That I could feel, I need to know it’s real, that it’s not just me, 
I need to know you see, exactly what I see.

What Do You See?

Remember, remember, how it felt when everything was going right, oh yeah.
Remember, remember, how I felt in your arms tucked away from reality safe right there.
Remember everything we shared, the love the joy the truths we bared.
When did we ever start to forget?

Remember, remember how we kissed, how nights turned into days and passed away.
Remember, remember how we were blind and no one else was caught in between you and me.
Remember when we could just escape, we kicked off our shoes and ran to nowhere fast, why couldn’t it last?

Seal the cracks. Take us back.

And I’d say “Hey, hey, you really look familiar have I seen you somewhere before?”
You’d ask me for my number and soon you’ll be wanting more. A beautiful stranger I can’t help but adore.
And you’d say “Hey, hey, I think we could be something, I think I wanna marry you. “
And at that point in time there’s nothing I’d say but “I do.”

Rewind, rewind. Write the past anew.

Remember, remember, how we laughed at all the other lonely people all those people in the world.
Remember, remember, how lucky we felt that you was my boy, and I was your baby girl.
Remember how we used to be so insane, my addiction for you was like cocaine.
Make me fall in love again.
