Na na na na,  oh its summertime
Na na na na, yes its summertime

Sunshades, big waves
Show me the latest dance craze
Oh its summertime
Yes its summertime

Pool toys, girls and boys
Makin’ lots of noise
Oh its summertime
Yes its summertime

Hey I got new grass
Will its last
Get off that lawn before I kick your..
Oh its summertime
Yes its summertime

Give that attitude some latitude my friend
Chase your blues away its a sunny, sunny, day
Ah yeah its summertime.
Yes its summertime

Love sparks, in the park
Fishin in the dark
Yes its summertime
Yes  its summertime

Na na na na, oh its summertime
Na na na na,.. its summertime.

Look Myself In The I
Words and Music 2024 by Melanie E Broussard

Look Myself In The Eye (I)

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

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

Dedicated to the helpers.. they are the light workers indeed.

LIGHT WORK
Words and Music c2025 
Melanie E Broussard

V1
Waves of the river lapping at the door
In the darkness its hard to believe anymore
The pink of dawn brings flashlights shining
Rescuers arrive in divine timing 

CH 

Many hands make light work they say
Who the hell are they anyway
They’re the ones who make darkness recede
And the light work indeed.


V2
A battered woman arrives at the shelter
Shaking and screaming  God help me tonight
Gentle hands reach out to help her
Out of that darkness into the light

CH

Many hands make light work they say
Who the hell are they anyway
They’re the ones who make darkness recede
And the light work indeed

Solo

Chorus and Fade Out

Hello 2021.  We start the year a bit mixed up.. but not down.

Mixed Up-Not Down

Spread Your Wings
Words and Music c2021  Melanie E Broussard

Only the Master’s chisel 
Can draw blood from the heart of stone
Every act of kindness
Drives the hammer home.
Pay the toll for the one behind you
Bring a crowd to the food bank
Find someone to be kind to
And reasons to give thanks.

Chorus
Spread your wings
Be the angel when no one is looking
Spread your wings
Open that heart, let it sing

Walk a mile in their troubled shoes
And then repair the sole
When kindness is the path we choose
We are made whole
Then you can look in the mirror
Feel the blessings come into ya
The Master’s voice never clearer
Another angel… Hallelujah

Solo (Chorus)

Chorus and fade
