Bow Down to Rock n' Roll 02:44

Born to the backbeat of Kings and Queens Chuck and Jerry Lee set the scene Janis and Jimi carried it on Oh how we miss them now that they’re gone. Instinct, talent raw and real Mick learned Bowie liked to steal But Stardust had no shame in his fame To Ziggy it was part of the game To witness the genius of master creators We’d crank the bass on that front room faders Love that music, Rock and Roll Rhyme & Rhythm In your soul Black light bouncing off each poster Every note a roller coaster Bow down to rock and roll Bow down to rock and roll It’s their roadmap we follow now All the more reason to take that bow Last chance, living legends live Rock and Roll will always thrive To witness the genius of master creators We’d crank the bass on the front room faders Love that music, Rock and Roll Rhyme & Rhythm In your soul Black light bouncing off each poster Every note a roller coaster Bow down to rock and roll Bow down to rock and roll Love that music, Rock and Roll Rhyme & Rhythm In your soul Black light bouncing off each poster Every note a roller coaster Bow down to rock and roll Bow down to rock and roll Bow down to rock and roll Bow down to rock and roll

She’s a tomboy - He’s into fashion But they both love glitter and they both slay dragons She’s the breadwinner - He’s the stay home dad But together they will make the family they never had OH YEA A I’m the kite - gliding through the sky Cause he’s holding to the string, and he loves to watch me fly There’s a tattooed bouncer, an onstage queen We gotta rock with both of them, to party in this scene Doesn’t matter, I’ll go my own way It ain’t easy being different, but it is ok to Let my freak......flag fly You go ahead and let your light shine bright Baby be too much I’m gonna sing my song, you better strut your stuff Let’s turn it up loud, cause we got soul If they don’t understand, then we’ll just let ‘em roll Let our freak......flag fly - freak......flag fly OHHH If the road’s not right, I’ll make my own There’s no wrong turns, if I’m living in the zone They’re just road bumps, they’ll come and go Live your best life, you’re the star of your own show Doesn’t matter, I’ll go my own way It ain’t easy being different, but it is ok to Let my freak......flag fly You go ahead and let your light shine bright Baby be too much I’m gonna sing my song, you better strut your stuff Let’s turn it up loud, cause we got soul If they don’t understand, then we’ll just let ‘em roll Let our freak......flag fly - freak......flag fly YEAH Not everyone can handle our light, shine anyway You be you, and I’ll be me, we’ll shine anyway We weren’t cut from a pattern, and we may have broke the mold We don’t fit in, so stand out, let’s forget what we're told Let our freak......flag fly Go ahead and let that light shine bright Baby be too much I’m gonna sing my song, you better strut your stuff Let’s turn it up loud, cause we got soul If they don’t understand, then we’ll just let ‘em roll and Let our freak......flag fly - freak......flag fly Let our freak......flag fly - freak......flag fly

One and Only 04:01

Sweet sixteen dreaming of the dance, She had the highest hopes of finding big romance She bought the perfect dress; she couldn’t ask for more But who would be the one to lead her on the floor Several different suitors came and went throughout the years Sometimes she’d walk home smiling, a lot of times in tears Things weren't working out, at least not the way she planned She couldn’t seem to find the safe place to land Maybe she’s a soul only looking for her mate Just a rolling stone, on a quest for great She’ll never stop searching until she gets it right Till she finds her one and only that won't make her dim her light She got stuck in a cycle making all the same mistakes She didn’t slow it down, heartbreak after break She was growing and changing so much faster than them She kept praying for the guy that she couldn’t overwhelm Maybe she’s a soul only looking for her mate Just a rolling stone, on a quest for great She’ll never stop searching until she gets it right Till she finds her one and only that won't make her dim her light In a sudden twist of fate, she met the man of her dreams. He was real they clicked, they made the perfect team They were in lock step for the decades to come oh oh oh Thirty years later they’re still deeply in love She a worthy soul and she found her perfect mate She’s still a rolling stone, still on that quest for great She’s no longer searching cause this time they got it right She found her one and only and he never dims her light She found her one and only and he never dims her light

I can see you there sitting on the curb Head in hands you’re trying not to show the hurt I can hear you whispering your fears straight into the wind Hoping somebody will hear, but it’s only you my dear Who can change the stories end If you could see what I see, the future would look bright Your beautiful and worthy of everything that’s right You and you alone can choose your destiny Stand your ground and start be the change you want to see Even when you stumble, and things seem not okay You and you alone get to decide if it’s where you stay You might be feeling low you didn’t make the team It doesn’t mean you go and give up, give up on your dreams Keep looking to the stars and know they’re cheering you from home They never miss a beat, so get up on your feet And dance along the road If you could see what I see, the future would look bright Your beautiful and worthy of everything that’s right You and you alone can choose your destiny Stand your ground and start be the change you want to see Even when you stumble, and things seem not okay You and you alone get to decide if that’s where you stay Life gives us ups and downs and we can spin out of control The constant push and pull can really take its toll Allow the tide to change; cause every storm subsides Your truth is your compass, so let it be your guide If you could see what I see, your future would look bright Your beautiful and worthy of everything that’s right You and you alone can choose your destiny Stand your ground and start to be the change you want to see Even when you stumble, and things seem not okay You and you alone get to decide if it’s where your gonna stay You’re enough already…

You know we view the world through our own special lens the five-star resorts can shine like precious gems through the eyes of a tourists the beauty never ends Adventures designed by those who know the trends But the world is not that simple some neighbors are in hell So why not open up our hearts and try to treat them well The locals have the magic full of charm and mystery to ignore it would be tragic let’s learn their history cause the world is our heaven and wherever we roam each location is a home away from home We love to travel see the globe in its glory German wineries, and Ireland with pubs Argentina’s culture man it tells a story Islands where the penguins join the cool kids club Tokyo’s fashion, and skyline in Shanghai The Taj Ma Hall, the pyramids, and temples to explore The whole Mediterranean opens up our eyes Every new adventure leaves us wanting more But the world is not that simple some neighbors are in hell So why not open up our hearts and try to treat them well The locals have the magic full of charm and mystery to ignore it would be tragic let’s learn their history cause the world is our heaven and wherever we roam each location is a home away from home Our home in North America with coasts and open spaces The majesty of mountains and cities full of flair As we try to live our dreams, of course we think it’s aces But when we leave our neighborhood let’s show the world we care The locals have the magic full of charm and mystery to ignore it would be tragic let’s learn their history cause the world it is our heaven and wherever we roam each location is a home away from home home away from home a home away from home

On the building’s top floor, she arrived to get hired she may have lacked skills, but she had a strong desire in her Hugo Boss suit, wearing confidence galore she presented a plan, that the man could not ignore honored with clients, and markets that soared timing was right, success was insured but never fulfilled, something just wasn't right so she brought in the coach, next level in sight Said her job was a steppingstone to follow her passion He said living life on purpose should be her main attraction her world was flipped, upside right she could live her purpose, she found a spark to ignite the challenge was real, it made her feel small but she knew she could make it, in a way that cared for all her world was flipped, upside right her world was flipped, upside right Yes, ESG investing was a new way to go with help from the people whose money she’d grow embraced the opportunity, everything felt right the triple bottom line, with the planet’s health insight her job was a steppingstone to follow her passion living life on purpose could be her main attraction her world was flipped, upside right she could live her purpose she found a spark to ignite the challenge was real, it made her feel small but she knew she could make it, in a way that cared for all her world was flipped, upside right her world was flipped, upside right Your world can flip, upside right You could live your purpose, Just find a spark to ignite Our world can flip, upside right We can live our purpose, Just find a new spark to ignite The challenge is real, it can make us feel small but we know we can make it, in a way that cares for all Let’s flip our world, upside right Let’s flip the world, upside right

Gail T as Charged Edmonton, Alberta

I'm in the process of reinventing myself as a songwriter and musician.

After a quarter of a century in the financial world, I was dreaming of a second calling. I didn't start this new journey until shortly before I turned 60, so sometimes it feels like I'm in a race with the clock! Then, I realize I'm having so much fun that it's all good. I would love to use my music to generate social messages. ... more
