[Verse]
I had a palace made of stone so white
Every corner glittered in the neon light
Laughter echoed through the halls at night
But it was borrowed
Not mine

[Prechorus]
They called me king they raised their glass
But their smiles were made of shattered glass

[Chorus]
The price of gold it’s cold it’s cold
A heart turns heavy when it’s sold
They loved the shine not the man inside
Now I’m alone with walls so wide

[Verse 2]
Chandeliers swinging to a hollow beat
A hundred rooms but no one to meet
I built my life on gold-plated feet
Now they’ve melted in the heat

[Prechorus]
They whispered love but meant the purse
The richer you are the deeper the curse

[Chorus]
The price of gold it’s cold it’s cold
A heart turns heavy when it’s sold
They loved the shine not the man inside
Now I’m alone with walls so wide

The Price of Gold

[Verse]
He walked alone head hung low
A cloud of thunder wherever he'd go
No hello no smile just a heavy sigh

[Prechorus]
People avoided the look in his eye
Like they saw a storm brewing inside

[Chorus]
Where did my heart go where did it hide
Once it was open now locked up tight
Where did my heart go where did it flee
I can't remember the last time it felt free

[Verse 2]
A child ran up small arms spread wide
No fear no shame in her innocent stride
She hugged him like she'd known him all her life

[Prechorus]
Her mother called but she wouldn't let go
A moment of warmth he didn’t even know

[Chorus]
Where did my heart go where did it hide
Once it was open now locked up tight
Where did my heart go where did it flee
I can't remember the last time it felt free

Where Did My Heart Go

[Verse]
Down to the market with coins in my hand
I saw a small donkey
Not part of the plan
Its eyes like stars
Its bray so bold
I traded my pesos
Brought magic to hold

[Chorus]
Burrito Magico
Oh can't you see
You're more than a donkey
You're destiny
My wife says no
She shakes her head
But you’ll lead me to glory
That’s what you said

[Verse 2]
I walked through the door
She gave me a frown
"Another bad choice
You’ve let me down"
She called you stubborn
She called you slow
But she doesn’t know
No she doesn’t know

[Prechorus]
Your hooves hold secrets
Your heart's a flame
One day the world will chant your name

[Chorus]
Burrito Magico
Oh can't you see
You're more than a donkey
You're destiny
My wife says no
She shakes her head
But you’ll lead me to glory
That’s what you said

[Bridge]
She laughs at your ears
Says they're too wide
But I see a crown you wear with pride
She says you’re useless
Just a mule
But she doesn’t know
You break every rule

Burrito Magico

[Verse 1]
Wind howls sharp through the hollow night
Shadows creep where the light won't fight
The ground shakes but I hold tight
Still breathing still alive

Graves whisper names I knew too well
Whiskey bottles
A private hell
Every crack I fell and fell
But I rose
I rise
I will

[Prechorus]
Storms rage but I don't break
Fires burn but I don’t flake

[Chorus]
I stand tall when the world falls down
I wear the chaos like a crown
Through the wreckage through the pain
I’m the thunder in the rain
I stand tall
I stand tall

[Verse 2]
Loneliness
It bites like steel
Cuts so deep
It almost feels
Like I'm drowning
No one reels
Me back but I climb still

Demons knocking on my door
Screaming louder than before
But I’m stronger
I want more
They can’t own me anymore

I Stand Tall

[Verse]
At dawn
Ella lifts that dusty lid (uh-huh!)
One chord hums
Fills the flat where she hid (oo-yeah!)
A tune she wrote when she was just sixteen
Now it’s rich
It’s bold
It’s evergreen

[Chorus]
Oh
Ella's groove
It moves
It flows! (oh-oh!)
Ella’s groove
It knows
It grows! (uh-huh!)
Breathin' life
Breathin' home
Like a river it rolls
Ella’s groove
It’s the hand she holds!

[Verse 2]
Her fingers dance like a story untold (uh!)
Keys singin' secrets
Both young and old (oo-yeah!)
Every note a step
Every chord a guide
Past and promise
Together they collide

[Prechorus]
Oh
She don’t play
Nah
She prays (uh-huh!)
Through the rhythm
Through the haze!

[Chorus]
Oh
Ella's groove
It moves
It flows! (yeah, yeah!)
Ella’s groove
It knows
It grows! (say what?)
Breathin' life
Breathin' home
Like a river it rolls
Ella’s groove
It’s the hand she holds!

[Bridge]
Ooo
Can you feel it? That funky sway?
She turns the night into breakin' day. (oo!)
Every beat
It’s alive
It’s strong
Her soul’s a melody
Playin' on and on!

Ella's Dawn

[Intro]
(Spoken) Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round, let me tell you a tale...

[Verse 1]
In a smoky club, where the lights are low,
I’ve danced with love, but it’s been quite a show.
Three times I’ve walked down that aisle, oh so bright,
But each time I found myself lost in the night.

[Chorus]
Three strikes and a song, oh, what a ride,
Each marriage a chapter, but love’s been denied.
One ran away, left me in tears,
The other betrayed me, fed my worst fears.
But I’m still here, with hope in my heart,
One day I’ll find him, my true counterpart.

[Verse 2]
The second wore a smile, but it was a lie,
Behind closed doors, he’d make me cry.
The third was a storm, with fists like the rain,
But I’m rising above, I won’t live in pain.

[Chorus]
Three strikes and a song, oh, what a ride,
Each marriage a chapter, but love’s been denied.
One ran away, left me in tears,
The other betrayed me, fed my worst fears.
But I’m still here, with hope in my heart,
One day I’ll find him, my true counterpart.

[Bridge]
So I’ll sing my sorrows, let the music play,
With every note, I’ll chase the dark away.
I’ll wear my scars like diamonds that shine,
For every heartbreak, I’ll make it divine.

[Chorus]
Three strikes and a song, oh, what a ride,
Each marriage a chapter, but love’s been denied.
One ran away, left me in tears,
The other betrayed me, fed my worst fears.
But I’m still here, with hope in my heart,
One day I’ll find him, my true counterpart.

[Outro]
So here’s to the future, I’ll raise my glass high,
To love that’s true, I’ll reach for the sky.
With every heartbreak, I’ll learn to be strong,
And until that day, I’ll keep singing my song.

Three Strikes and a Song

[Verse 1]
The world is spinning
But it’s off track
Broken hearts and skies so black
Egos rising
Love is gone
(Ooh-yeah!) What went wrong?

[Prechorus]
We need a spark
A brand-new flame
(Ooh, ooh!) Justice calling
Name by name

[Chorus]
Get on the Justice Train
Oh-oh
Ride it ‘til the break of dawn
Let’s go!
Leave the hate
Let love remain
All aboard the Justice Train!

[Verse 2]
War drums beating
Shadows fall
Greed and power
It’s a callous wall
(Ooh-yeah!) Hearts are cold
Hands won’t meet
Justice waits on every street

[Prechorus]
We need a light
A brighter day
(Ooh, ooh!) Together we can find the way

[Chorus]
Get on the Justice Train
Oh-oh
Ride it ‘til the break of dawn
Let’s go!
Leave the hate
Let love remain
All aboard the Justice Train!

Justice Train

Verse 1
Lanterns dim on cobblestone streets,
Bells on his cap hush with every beat.
She slips from the tapestries, grown and wise,
A crownless smile, moonlight in her eyes.
They meet by the mill where the owls keep time,
Climb to the loft on a ladder of rhyme;
He folds her laughter into his sleeve,
Two hearts daring the dark to believe.

Chorus
Hush now, keep the hayloft door,
Shadows know what love is for.
If the king should hear our tune,
Shame would fall like frost at noon.
So sing soft, breathe slow,
Let the secret be our glow—
Jester and the princess brave,
Love that courts the night to save.

Verse 2
He juggles starlight, she answers in song,
Trading old jokes for a vow to be strong.
Straw makes halos in tumble and spin,
Kisses like sparks where the stories begin.
They sketch a future on barnwood beams,
A cottage of jokes and midsummer dreams;
But dawn is a herald with silver feet,
And truth is a drum on the royal street.

Chorus
Hush now, keep the hayloft door,
Shadows know what love is for.
If the king should hear our tune,
Shame would fall like frost at noon.
So sing soft, breathe slow,
Let the secret be our glow—
Jester and the princess brave,
Love that courts the night to save.

Bridge
They are no children—hearts full-grown,
Choosing a hush the court won’t condone.
Between a jest and a judgment’s ring,
They wager joy on a silent string.
Let chapel bells measure what words can’t say:
Some truths bloom best in the folds of hay.

Verse 3
Watchmen pass and the rafters sigh,
Morning paints gold on a careful lie.
He tips his cap to the waking town,
She hides her smile in a silken gown.
Yet when the dusk unbuttons the sky,
They’ll climb again where the swallows fly—
A secret chorus the moon repeats,
Two steady drums under gentle sheets.

Final Chorus
Hush now, keep the hayloft door,
Shadows know what love is for.
If the king should hear our tune,
Shame would fall like frost at noon.
So sing soft, breathe slow,
Let the secret be our glow—
Jester and the princess brave,
Guarding love the night once gave
