Electric

Electric (Pokemon 25 Version)

[Verse 1]
Strike, she strikes softly and strong
The science has spoken, she said
Time, time is ticking by fast
Paradise in ashes, and it’s not coming back

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t no hope, just to talk about it 
Only hope in what we do about it 

[Chorus]
She is fire 
She is fire fire fire
She is fire
She is the flame burning truth to power

[Verse 2]
She knows that fate is ours to hold
Like a lantern shining bright she glows 
Like lightning in a bottle, sparks into the night
She moves fearless in the face of crisis

[Chorus]
She is fire 
She is fire fire fire
She is fire
She is the flame burning truth to power

[Bridge]
We are potters throwing earth into the flames
We’re the clay in our own hands
Fragile figures blown in glass
Balanced on a tipping point in the heat the blast

[Chorus] 
We are fire 
We are fire fire fire
We are fire
We are the flame burning truth to power

[Pre-Chorus] [2x Out] 
Ain’t no hope, just to talk about it 
Only hope in what we do about it 
Ain’t no hope, just to talk about it 
Only hope in whatchyu gonna do about it

She Is Fire

Concept: "Wise ones" recommend to *always* be seeking. At the point you form a too-strong opinion, then that branch of growth is closed. When I read this, I felt validated because I've long felt that keeping an open mind was of utmost importance!  In fact, I'd already written a song about it, lol!   :)
Lyrics:
I have learned with time – to keep an open mind.
C                     F 	  C      	      F        am	G
The flow of life may change – we adapt and rearrange.  
C               	F	C            	      F  	     am	G
For no one knows it all – we stumble and we fall.
    dm    	   C       	G       	dm    	F        G
Our struggles are like a test – as we learn to try our best.
    	       F          am	G                 dm         F       	G
 ----Chorus-------
An open heart and mind will help you find
    	       F          	G         	am
A path that leads you to -  your best you. 
            am                  G               F 	G
Each step brings you someplace new
  Am          G                	F
If we're brave enough to be - open to possibility.
            	dm      	C      G               dm  F	G

Verse 2 ------
I want my mind to shine – with everything it finds  
My curiosity – sparks luminosity    
To unlock who I can be - the key is positivity!       
With my heart now open wide - compassion is my guide  
 
Verse 3 ------  
Wise ones always know - there's so much they don't yet know!
Now it is my turn  -  I've got so much to learn
I listen and I care - about stories you share
I hope to understand – so I’m ready to lend a hand  

CODA after Chorus 3  – 
Where an open mind can accept – We are stronger when we all connect!

Open Mind - Demo

Set to a tune that sounds comfortingly old, explore what some say is the meaning of life: to become our best selves, so we are better able to help others.  Can a childhood song provide a shortcut to this wisdom, for kids to grow up on?  I hope it helps!

Lyrics  
 
Chorus:
I want to be the best me I can be, so I can be the best help I can be.
Oh, I hope to be the best me I can be, so I can be the best help I can be.

--VERSE 1--
If we all could share one vision, we’d uncover ancient wisdom 
If we all could let resentments go, yes let resentments go,  then more love can flow!
For if everyone, yes everyone, works to make things better 
Then I believe oh, so many things, start getting better for everyone!

VERSE 2 
My heart can care for one and all - When I take down the wall, of thinking I am small
Feel the spark which can connect my heart - and see the larger me through inclusivity. 
This means you and I and everyone -  share this planet under one bright sun  
As perspective grows then one circle shows -                        
All life's connected, sharing tomorrow                   

VERSE 3 
Take my hand, let’s work together, make a difference, sisters and brothers.
Reach down deep and let your heart forgive, then you are free - to truly live.
For if everyone, yes, everyone works to make things better…
Better for every life, not just for one Self, then we can change the world, yes, we can change the world!
...And it starts by being my best me!
