My Secret Place
Christmas, 2006, 1:39

If you ever need a place to stay, 
I'll walk away just like you did that day.
What did I ever learn, life isn't fair.  
Choices that I make are to try, try, try.
Changing my name in my secret place, 
A place where no one else knows about.
I will stay true.  I will connect with you.  
Hanging out in Stadacona Park.
Forget who I am in my secret place, 
A place where no one else knows about.  
If you ever need a place to stay, 
I'll walk away just like you did that day.

My Secret Place

The Yoga Song
From the Kraft Dinner—Loose Ends CD, 
undated, 2:35

Can you rise
It surprised me
It made me believe
It's not the sacrifice
In this world
Don't forget to breathe.
(Repeat all)

Power of Hope

Written at the 2005 Power of Hope 
Summer Camp and finished a few weeks 
later, 4:30

Christmas time, 1999, 
Before you passed on.
And I am living a lie.
This is how I've felt forever.
Like a raindrop in sunny weather.
Power of hope.
Power of hope.
This is how I've felt forever
Like a raindrop in sunny weather.
Power of hope.
Power of hope.

And the light shines down on me, 
From the top of the Christmas tree.
Christmas time, 1999, 
Before you passed on.

Your words won't stay in my heart for long.
It's the same things as before.
A year and a half is a long time to pass.
And I regret every minute.
For the times I could have been with you,
I leave myself and always wonder why.
Lay down and let me see, let go please.
I need to see the part of me I hate.

Power Of Hope

 Jesus, Be with Me
Undated, 2:16

Jesus, be with me.
And, angels, be with me.
I want to feel how I felt that summer.
Open your hearts.
Open your hearts. 
(Repeat all)

When you feel lost,
It's all going to be alright.
When you feel lost,
It's all going to be alright.
You are safe.
You are safe.

Jesus Be With Me

Roses
Written two months before POH, 2006 
and performed at POH, 2006, 2:58

I really want to change.
I do but it's just how scared I am.
I love that crazy feeling, lay in bed, 
Fall asleep thinking.
I do my best for you, but the time 
Never comes, never comes.
Roses.
Do you swear that you're in love.
Do you care, my blackened heart, 
And the growing apart.
Running away from myself today.
Justify my avoiding 
And my tendency to hate.
Placing the blame, my life stays the same.
I really want to change. 
Roses.
Are you there when I am broken?
Because I admit, just how scared I am.
But Andrew, I do not care.
I will get what I deserve.
She will get what she deserves.
So Andrew, don't worry, 
I'm moving to the country.
I'm not sorry.

Stop Your Crying
September 2007, 3:35

I don't know what to do
For you.
I don't know what to do
For you.
To stop your crying.
To stop your crying.
(Repeat all)

Stop Your Crying

Thinner and Thinner
Written just before POH, 2005, 1:43

Thinner and thinner like a skeleton, 
And I can tell,
Someone has been lying to me.
It might do you well for once, 
To pay some dues.
Cause I don't deserve you
Looking at me,
Through the window pain, 
Stained mercury.
For once, for me, for Ellie.
For once tell the truth.

Left, right and centre, 
There are problems with me,
And thank god that you're here 
Or who knows who I'd be.
When my age turns eighteen, 
I'll be less free than I've ever been.
And I can feel, the cutting 
Down to size, nothing. (2 lines 2x)

 I Am Light Divine
Spring 2007, 2:30

I am.
I am.
I am light divine.
I am. 
I am.
I am fixed design.
I am love.
I am loved.
I love life.
Love lives on.

I Am Light Divine

He Runs Away
Undated, 2:00

He runs away.
He runs away.
Till there's nothing left
But what they say.
He runs away
Into his fantasies
Where he lies to everybody.

He runs away
He runs away
Till there's nothing left
But what they say.
He runs away
Into his fantasies.
Where he fools nobody he wants.

He Runs Away

I Choose Love (Raindrops Fall)
2006, 4:15

I choose love. (2x)
The tone of her voice struck a chord in me.
Everybody wants to be free.
This is why I choose.
I choose love. (2x)
Someone's always there.
This morning I had a dream about Sarah.
This is why I choose.
Raindrops fall and I go 
In and out of the water.
Go on with your lives without me.
She tells the truth when she wants to, 
And I lie.
Raindrops fall.
I choose love. (2x)

Everybody ages over time, 
All I ever really wanted is what's mine.
I want to go back to the telephone.
I still believe.
(Repeat verse)
