Words and Music c 2023 by Melanie E Broussard

Walking into that wayward door
Living in the past
Then the future comes calling so fast

One step forward, two steps back
Won’t get you out of the weeds.
Spinning wheels never succeed.

Pre-Chorus
Living in the present…
is the best gift you can give to yourself.

Chorus
You gotta walk (WALK) in the now..
I didn’t hear you sing a little louder
Walk (WALK) in the now.
Walk in faith, walk in hope
And with love, thank heaven above.

If you don’t mind it don’t matter
So live while you can
Life never goes according to plan.

Romance or road trip
Come out of your shell
Write the stories that time will tell.

Pre-Chorus

Walk in The Now

Another Revolution
Words and Music ©2016,2024 Melanie E Broussard

Verse 1
Whispers seeking ears on the street
Flowing like a river beneath your feet
Listen you can hear them all around
Slithering like a snake on the ground

Verse 2
Rumors grow where whispers appear
Fomenting, the people’s fear.
Lies or truth, doesn’t really matter.
What matters, is the chatter.

PRECHORUS
Isn't this how it always begins
Once again we are here my friends.

CHORUS
Another revolution, the righteous have won.
Another tyrant, his work undone
Another lesson we have failed to learn
We get the fate that we earn.

Verse 3
People take to the streets with passion
Make their wars in the new day’s fashion.
Pitch forks turn to cannon, and then guns.
So many ways to kill each other’s sons.

Verse 4
Battles are won a winner declared
People hide in their homes still scared.
Soldiers decorate each other with medals
Would-be tyrants learn to work the pedals.

Look Myself In The I

Look Myself In The Eye (I)

SHE KNOWS
Words and Music c2024 Melanie E Broussard

She runs away from him every night
But the doors are all closed
Bruises arise despite her flight
Hidden under her clothes

Mr Thunder rolls
Over her immortal soul
Flattened like play-doh
But he will never know

She knows
She knows
She knows
But she can’t tell a soul

Trapped in a corner with no way out
Nowhere left to turn
All she can hear is the sound of his shout
As one more dinner burns

Mr Thunder slaps
Insanity snaps back complete collapse
A gun lets a bullet go
But he will never know

She knows
She knows
She knows
But she can’t tell a soul

SHE KNOWS

Ms Karma
Words and Music c2025
Melanie E Broussard

You broke my heart and left it in pieces on the floor
Stomped on it and said "I don't love you anymore"
You never even tried to explain
You crowned yourself, king of my pain

Chorus
Now Ms Karma will come visit you
And give you a lesson to learn
When you break a heart in two
The Wheel of Karma's gonna turn...
And run right over you boy,
My heart ain't your little toy.

Your day of reckoning will come very soon
Then your heart will sing a brand new tune
Lying there in pieces on the ground
Poor King of Pain,  you're gonna lose that crown

Chorus

Now Ms Karma can be a real bitch sometimes
Don't you know
I'm cheerin' her on..
You go girl go!

MS KARMA

Together We Can

WINGS DON'T MAKE US ANGELS
Words and Music c2025 Melanie E Broussard

A one-legged bird learns to make it
Using wings that fit her like a glove
When she sees a worm she'll take it
Back to the nest to give it up in love
So all will rise above

CHORUS
Wings don't make us angels you know
No matter how hard we try
We must learn to love and lift every soul
That's the day we learn how to fly
Oh yeah, learn how to fly

We want to fly so bad we could taste it
When we fail our tears hit the ground
When we get a chance we waste it
All that pain keeps us earthbound
Time to go up not down

CHORUS

Bridge
Spread your wings and scatter love all around
If ya do, I promise you
Your feet will never touch the ground

CHORUS

Outro
Spread those wings and scatter that love
They'll be rejoicing in heaven up above
We gotta learn, we gotta learn how to fly..
We gotta learn, gotta learn how to fly.

WINGS DONT MAKE US ANGELS
