This songwriting project takes into account that users often need either a softer/intimate/acoustic version or a harder-hitting/high-energy version. Each song delivers two choices: “dialed down” and “dialed up”. If they like the message of the song, they’ve got options.
Are You My Miracle (lyrics)
Verse 1
I have this thing about the way my life should be
I look for something I can’t name in every face I see
I know that there must be a miracle for me
Chorus
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Verse 2
I feel so trapped inside myself, so all alone
I’m searching for someone to help me roll away the stone
I pray for just one heart that I can call my own
Chorus
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Bridge
Will you think I’m crazy if I say, “We could fly away”?
Love’s so amazing and it happens all the time, every day
Every day
Chorus
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Are you, are you, are you my miracle?
Go Free (lyrics)
Verse 1
This is not a cage where you must stay forever
I will never be the kind of friend who holds you down
Go Free Go Free
There is not a rope around your heart I won’t be part
of anything that’s meant to keep you on the ground
Go Free Go Free
Chorus
You don’t need to wonder what to say
Though I admit I’ll miss you every day
Just pretend you’re making angels in the snow
And know
I can let you go
Go Free Go Free
Verse 2
We’ve been over walls and crawled together
Wond’ring whether it was possible to ever make it home
Go Free Go Free
Even when you’re gone, I will stay strong
because your spirit travels with me so I’ll never be alone
Go Free Go Free
Chorus
Beautiful Country (lyrics)
Verse 1
Load up the car at the first sign of daylight
Get on a highway and drive
We’ll watch that old sun roll up on the horizon
And light up that baby blue sky
Verse 2
We could head north through the hills of Kentucky
Or down to the Florida coast
Maybe to Memphis to wade the Big Muddy
Anywhere you want to go
It’s all a Beautiful Country
Chorus
Feel the breeze blow through our hair
And we’ll breathe the air of the prairies,
The mountains, the canyons, the streams
And smile as we take in the view of this Beautiful Country
Verse 3
Remember that day on the Mohave Desert
The heat and the Joshua trees
By nightfall we stood in the snow of the Rockies
I held you so you wouldn’t freeze
Oh, what a Beautiful Country
Chorus
Bridge
Turn up the radio, we could get lucky
And find us some bluegrass or old Texas swing
Roll down the windows hey, darlin’, why don’t we sing along
With this Beautiful Country
Outro
We’ll smile as we take in the view of this Beautiful Country
From mountain to canyon it’s truly a Beautiful Country
I Wanna Be Happy (lyrics)
Verse 1
Turn my frown upside down one more time
Pretend it’s all ok
Reflection in my mirror is just a face of lies
Can’t make it go away
Wanna change the way I look
Wanna change the way I feel
Chorus
I Wanna Be Happy
I wanna love what I see
I wanna stare in my eyes and believe
I Wanna Be Happy
Verse 2
Got a pile of clothes diamond in my nose and credit cards
To buy anything I want
There was a time when I was fine with the way things are
But now I’m losing hope
Am I wanting too much?
Am I wanting enough?…
Chorus
Bridge
Every time the doctor says there’s nothing wrong inside your head
So get over it
Seems no matter how I try tears always wash away my smile
And I…I…
Chorus
Let It Burn (lyrics)
Verse 1
I feel you shiver
Are you cold
Or just afraid that we might get too close?
We could be falling
Into the sun
So close your eyes don’t turn away and run
You know what to do
Touch the heat I’m giving you
Chorus
Put your hands in the fire
Baby, Let It Burn
It’s only your desire
It hardly ever hurts
Don’t you want to feel alive?
Come on, love and learn
Put your hands in the fire
Baby, Let It Burn
Let It Burn
Verse 2
Will you drown me
In the rain
Or lay beside me in a sea of flame?
You’ll know that love is true
But only when it’s melting you
