This is my therapy for a life situation that has changed my life forever. 
Essential wisdom I've gained from this lesson is to LIVE LOVE without regrets. 
And tho I lost my voice for a minute there, I always put my best foot forward because we only get one chance with the gift of life.

SHINE Lyrics by Tamwah, Composed & Produced by Justin Atherley 
				(2019)
V1:
Lets take it back x5 
the beginning of time
before there was His-tory
before the great divide 
before we lost our senses 
their world stolen our pride
WARRIORS UNITE
its your light that unifies.
Its a long slippery battle, starts on the inside
You’re gonna need your inner-sight / to survive
3rd eye activated 
heart open wide 
knowledge of self… if you wanna ride.

HOOK:

God don’t make mistake
so don’t hesitate
Who are you not to be great & SHINE?!
x2

V2:
Words are power tools
need to learn the rules
corporations of the world play us folk like we fools
Poisoning our air, our water, our earth!
Conditioning us to fear even natural birth.
Turnbull says vaccinate/ vaccinate
Trumps says lets make America great again
Man with no heart is see thru 
Children of the Earth WE know what to do!

BRIDGE:
What the world needs now… is LOVE sweet LOVE 
its the ONLY THING!!!!

V3:
Pen to paper, write a poem. 
Make your own mantra… put it in a song. 
Life’s a celebration, give it soul
like Aretha… YOU are the gold.
Middle finger UP… let them know, 
You cannot be brought ,bartered nor sold!
INDIGENOUS ROARING
We’re on the RISE
LOVE is the ALCHEMY
Burn out the lies. 

HOOK:
God don’t make mistake
so don’t hesitate
Who are you not to be great & SHINE?!
x2
SHINE YOUR LIGHT!!!

This little light of mine / I’m gonna let it SHINE 
x4

HOOK:
God don’t make mistake
so don’t hesitate
Who are you not to be great & SHINE?!
x2
SHINE YOUR LIGHT!!!

SHINE

I RECENTLY MADE THE BEAT WHEN I WAS ON A SELF ENFORCED SONGWRITING RETREAT IN BARBADOS. WHEN I RETURNED TO AUSTRALIA, THE OPPORTUNITY CAME UP TO BE PART OF APRA/AMCOS "STARTING GROUND" SONGWRITING WORKSHOP... THAT'S WHERE KAAYTEE, YEAHLAD & MYSELF MEET... THIS SONG WAS BORN FROM THAT WORKSHOP.

ELEVATE lyrics:

CHORUS
I got to find my way /  Aye Yoooo  x3
I need to mediate, levitate, elevate my mind

Which way? same way?  the futures looking brighter
a kooma matata got to leave your past behind you
Spitting with my sista
Yeah-lad cool with that
Following my heart, I don’t need a google map
carving a new path
uncharted terrorties 
Tamwah bring the beat, the voice, the melody
Just let it be
starting ground, SAE
Black mamba on the mic , give it up for Kaaytee

I gotta find my way , elevate, I’m a levitate to a better place
Eleaviate, throw the pressure, right out the gate
why be good when you can be great?
take a step back and meditate 
Look at the bigger picture / That I’m trying to create
You can do it ladies… set your goal & keep it motivated 
Step by step,  hit it / constant, find yourself 
don’t under estimate it.
Red rover / like a dozer / moving obstacles all over
Take on the world / Keep it going / I told ya we soldiers.

CHORUS
I got to find my way /  Aye Yoooo  x3
I need to mediate, levitate, elevate my mind

Mountain tops can seem so high
Kick off my kicks / connect with the source of all life
The soul is something that money cannot buy  BUT if you listen to the system then the system will try.
Facebook, IG both spies 
gathering data clogging up my third eye
Sending me emails with more things to buy
distracting me from growing myself 
messing with my mental health 
BUT true wealth resides on the inside
inner flight 

BRIDGE
I’ve been so low in the valley (i’ve been down & out) 
please can somebody help me (I gotta find my way)
I’ve been so low in the valley (find a better route)
please can somebody help me 
(so i can make it to a brighter day)

CHORUS x2
I got to find my way /  Aye Yoooo  x3
I need to mediate, levitate, elevate my mind
