Your Energy

Walking all through the night
As though in a dream
Up till early light
Sweet sunbeam

Good for me you’re good for me
We play like a team
Your energy in front of me
It’s what I need

Open your eyes
See the chemistry rise
We promise to be there for each other
Be there for each other

Under the stars
This is who we are
We promise to be there for each other
Be there for each other

Now there’s no turning back
We play for keeps

Flowers in the field
Oh, they bloom for me
They bloom for you, they do

Open your eyes
See the chemistry rise
We promise to be there for each other
Be there for each other

Under the stars
This is who we are
We promise to be there for each other
Be there for each other

We open up the gates
And walk a while, walk a mile
Through overgrown ferns and wistful trees
Pines in the breeze
And lush green vines
And a river that flows by

In front of me
Your energy
In front of me 

Borderline

On the borderline
Ordinary people
Are intertwined

On the borderline
If you think it’s equal  
Then you’re colorblind

Can’t you see it’ll never be the same
Even if you’re from the same place
Disproportionate, longevity
Based on things you wouldn’t believe…

Who’s complicit in creating (generating) lies
A never-ending staircase
With freedom at the top in disguise
Protected by
Countries with money
And no sense of pain
The pain, of dropping everything
And moving away

At the borderline Hope is used
To build the lie//
That it's a better life
It takes a criminal mind
For death and sacrifice
To find a compromise
To find a compromise

But can’t u see it’ll never be the same
Even if you’re from the same place
People seek refuge
But don’t you go calling them refugees…

Who’s complicit in creating (generating) lies
A never-ending staircase
With freedom at the top in disguise
Protected by
Countries with money
And no sense of pain
The pain, of dropping everything
And moving away

Don't Forget How Far You've Come

DON’T FORGET HOW FAR YOU’VE COME

Say you’re down
And say your stuck
Can’t get out of bed

Laugh it off
But it’s not a joke
What’s messing with your head

You say it’s hard
To be living out
In the way you wished you could

But I know it’s not
How you think it is
When you think you’re really screwed

You’ve got things
you’re convinced you need
The things you’ve got to be

I’ll lend a hand
And I’ll lend my eyes
I wanna help you heal

Cause all we need
Is all you are
I want you to run free

You were always beautiful
And one day
I hope you’ll see

Don’t forget how far you’ve come
And I’ll - write the love upon your arms
I’ll lend my hand, I want to help you heal
You’re all we need, I want you to run free
You’re all we need, I want you to run free
You’re all we need, I want you to run free
You’re all we need, I want you to run free
I want you to run


NOTES:

You don’t need a degree to be a friend

Never forget how far you’ve come

Lyrics add to vocabulary

No fear of shame

I am enough

I will hold on to hope for you

I need your presence, not your perfection
