MAKE NO MISTAKE

I won’t forget the times you
Flipped the script
Made me the bad guy when
You were the culprit

I won’t digest the lies you’re
Cookin’ up
Had my head spinning
But I still drank from the cup

[ch]
Oh, make no mistake
I know how to forgive
But that doesn’t mean
I have to live like you live
You take and you take
Steal the light from the blind
But I see you now
It’s not all in my mind
Make no mistake it's not in my mind

I won’t succumb to sweet nothings
That you can’t spell
I already know
Your heart doesn’t melt

I won’t deprive myself of
Someone who cares
You’re an imposter
With nothing to share

[ch]
Oh, make no mistake
I know how to forgive
But that doesn’t mean
I have to live like you live
You take and you take
Steal the light from the blind
But I see you now
It’s not all in my mind
Make no mistake it's not in my mind

[br]
Something felt off
Too many locks to unlock
Is it too hard to be kind
Is the bridge too far to cross
Is it too hard to be kind
Is it too hard to be kind
Is it too hard to be kind

Babe, where did you go?
Not seen you since the snow buried the fall
We were heady, but I thought we would last
Guess sometimes the seasons change too fast
 
I miss you in my arms 
We built a stronghold, so we’d be unharmed
But we were breaking from underneath
Oh the silent insecurities

Babe, know I did you wrong
When I called it quits when we'd just begun
Back from Brooklyn,
Not a cross word was said 
It's just that my mind was racing and it got ahead

I miss being in your arms 
We built a stronghold, so we’d be unharmed
But we were breaking from underneath
Oh the silent insecurities

Bridge
What if we took this day by day?
Promised to work through all our pain?
We owe it to us to try, darling don't run and hide
Oh the silent insecurities

I miss you in my arms 
With you I'm stronger and I am safe from harm 
Will you hold me through my fear and 
All my silent insecurities? 
Silent insecurities

V1
Babe, have we lost our passion
Caught in the daily grind
Just trying to survive
Pleasure is so hard to find

V2
Come take a trip with me
Head for the mountainside
Check on into paradise
Find a life more simplified

Chorus
Welcome to Shangri-La, (ooh la la, ooh la la la)
Breath it in
Drink it in
Relax and open your mind
Welcome to Shangri-La, (ooh la la, ooh la la la)
We're never coming down

V3
Babe, this place is a dream
Pure white snow falls so sweet
Blissfully numbing you and me
As we walk on gold dust streets

V4
Feel the rush of ecstasy
Electric in the air
Lighting up our senses
Like magic everywhere

Chorus
Welcome to Shangri-La, (ooh la la, ooh la la la)
Breath it in
Drink it in
Relax and open your mind
Welcome to Shangri-La, (ooh la la, ooh la la la)
Yeah, we're never coming down

Bridge
We will live forever 
In our land of make believe
Old world forgotten
Blacked out memories

Chorus
Welcome to Shangri-La, (ooh la la, ooh la la la)
Breath it in
Drink it in
Relax and open your mind
Welcome to Shangri-La, (ooh la la, ooh la la la)
Yeah, we're never coming down

Shangri - La (Lyrics by Andrea Brennan)

As You Are 

Chorus:

Be as you are
Be as you were
I hope you will
Be again

Confident 
In your skin
With who you are

Verse:

When you were young 
You rocked your world
A fearless girl
Killing it on the pitch
You came into your own

You fought with courage
You fought with pride
A glint in your eye
Do you recall it like I do?

Chorus:

So be as you are
As you were
I hope you will 
Be again

Confident 
In your skin
With who you are

You’re wasting your time
Worry ‘bout those kids online
Cause they got nothing on you
Won’t you see it like I do?

Bridge:

I…See…You

Chorus:

So be as you are
As you were
I hope you will 
Be again

Confident 
In your skin
With who you are

Verse:

What would your 
Grey haired self say
To keep those thoughts at bay
All locked up and thrown away

Chorus:

So be as you are
As you were
I hope you will…

Be again…

I hope you will
I hope you will
Be again
Be as you are
I hope you will be again
I hope you will be again
Be as you are
I hope you will…

Lyrics written by Wobbie Wobbit

I aimlessly wander
Hither and yonder
There's nowhere that I gotta be
I got time to squander
Mindlessly ponder
What it means to be me

I am happy
Floating along on the breeze
Such abandon
Just being random
I go wherever I please

I'm gonna sing
Gonna sing without a care
I got the feeling
I'm walking on air
Hahahahaha

No destination
Just exploration
A landscape inside and out
Pure fascination
With recreation
It's what it's all about

I am happy
Floating along on the breeze
Such abandon
Just being random
I go wherever I please

I'm gonna sing
Gonna sing without a care
I got the feeling
I'm walking on air
Hahahahaha
Hahahahahaha
Hahaha

I'm gonna sing
Gonna sing without a care
I got the feeling
I'm walking on air
Hahahahahaha

Fearless © Liz Frencham 2024

I’m a sack of contradictions
I don’t know my own mind
Communicating my convictions
Leaves my clumsy tongue tied
I’m tripping over conversations
Makes me want to run and hide

Independence is a refuge
Nothing ventured nothing lost
But somehow you
Break through my view
Show me love is worth the cost

Spend my days still tryin’ to escape
Heart stays whole when there’s no one to break it
Only a fool would mistake that for living, it ain’t
Alone I’m safe, I’m ok
But with you I am fearless

You’re a lesson in kindness
Open heart, open hand
Your gift of questioning relieves me
Of the need to understand
Holding space, with quiet grace
You’re making no demands

Always patient with my shadows
Gently teasing out a smile
Despite my wounds
I’m trusting you
I’ll come out into the wild

Spend my days still tryin' to escape
Cup stays full when there’s no one to take it
Only a fool would mistake that for living, it ain’t
Alone I’m safe, I’m ok
But with you I am fearless

Fearless
