Believe in Yourself ©1992 Paul Iwancio

When this world lets you down
and you feel like you can't go on.
Remember this night dissoves inch by inch
toward a new dawn

Just believe in yourself
You've got to believe in yourself.
When you can't believe in anything else,
believe in yourself.

Now if the boss bawls you out
cause you didn't do things just his way.
Remember this is but a fraction of your life.
And every dog will have its day.

Just believe in yourself
You've got to believe in yourself.
When you can't believe in anything else,
believe in yourself.

I know some people are gonna put you down,
snide comments often fly.
But you're not responsible for their thoughts,
or when their perceptions lie.

Just believe in yourself
You've got to believe in yourself.
When you can't believe in anything else,
believe in yourself.

You've been battered down, and beaten up,
lost all your self repect
But if you get back up on your own two feet
you'll see the only answer left is to

Believe in yourself
You've got to believe in yourself.
When you can't believe in anything else, believe in yourself.

Here's to the Artist

By: M. Brine

(c1989)

1. Here's to the artist...whose work is unknown

who sees into something, but sees it alone

and he wakes up discouraged, to a worls that's still blind

to his concepts and ideas, ahead of their time

2. Hers's to his battle...and the field where he dies

a thousand times over, yet somehow survives

only to stand up, to fall down again

may he, like his heroes before him, transcend

chorus: here's to the artist...who dedicates all

whose ears are, compulsively, hearing a call

may his efforts be noticed, before he is gone

here's to the artist, and the road he 's on

3. and let's raise our voices, for the presently blind

who sift like the wind, and are socially mind

for tonite they are sleeping, tomorrow they'll wake

and claim the same artist, last night they'd forsake

Brothers in Music, Sisters in Song ©1997 Adam A. Book

The sun begins to lose its hold
the days grow short
and nights grow cold
We gather by the river where
we light a fire
and breathe the air
The bird of summer soon will lose her wing
Our guitars are tuned and we begin to sing...

Chorus:

Brothers in music,
Sisters in song
When we sing together
we are happy
we are strong
We search for perfect harmony
in life and in these songs
And it's in these verses
that we find
where each of us belongs.

We sing until the fire dies
truths are uncovered
and so are lies
We don't know who'll return next year
so let's celebrate
while we're all here
The road ahead may sometimes make you blue
But I know I can always count on you...

Chorus X2

Brothers in music,
Sisters in song
When we sing together
we are happy
we are strong
We search for perfect harmony
in life and in these songs
And it's in these verses
that we find
where each of us belongs.
