Gravity (Lisa Rapport & Lindsay Tomasic)
What scientific law defines this mass of jumbled thought Tilted on its’ axis and spinning out in space Orion and his dog align, then pass and leave me caught In repetitious wonderings revolving 'round this place.
No theorem defiance Love is a physical science: Forces we can't see that hold you to me Like gravity
The body-mind dichotomy debate is resting on Whether we were meant for love or too diverse a tune Still undefined, this part of me, no matter how I run I'm tethered to the center of a universe of you
No theorem defiance Love is a physical science: Forces we can't see that hold you to me Like gravity
Earthborn logic failing me All my thoughts astray No time has relativity To solve this earthly mystery, of what on earth you mean to me ....
No theorem defiance Love is a physical science: Forces we can't see that hold you to me Like gravity

What In The World (Lindsay Tomasic)
I don’t want to read about it, I don’t want to hear about it No TV, No radio We just get so inundated How can we appreciate it? Nobody knows whos running the show
What in the world did we do to get a mob like this Sitting at the top And what in the world can we ever do To Make the madness stop
I don’t want to think about it. I don’t want to listen to These twisted politicians thinking they’re cool Running up the deficit , and coming off like hypocrites While millions of people are playing the fools
What in the world did we do to get a mob like this Sitting at the top And what in the world can we ever do To make tthis madness stop
Is anybody coming to the rescue Bring the ladders and the watering hose Good vibes are gonna need to get through And everybody knows
I believe the positive will finally the void the negative Like Luke and Darth Vadar out on a ledge And maybe in the present time somehow we’ll start to realign In pushing the darkness over the edge

Are We There Yet (Lisa Rapport & Lindsay Tomasic)
Are we there yet How many more miles Are we there yet It's taking a while It's not like I don't like it slow It's not like I'm needing to know but Are we there yet
Are we there yet What's that sign up ahead Are we there yet All the things that we've said It's not like I'm feeling the need To get to where we're going to be, but Are we there yet
Oh…Took a picture of us on the road Taking it slow wondering where we're gonna go, And are we there yet

No Matter What The Weather (Lindsay Tomasic)
I write most songs when my heart is breaking And sometimes when my life is shaken But this time I thought I’d try something new
It’s been two years and it keeps getting better When I’m with you, no matter what the weather Baby, I’m so happy I found you
I sing most songs when my world is crumblin’ But at times like this it can be so humblin’ To wrap my head around a little something new
Since you’ve been here, I’ve changed for the better When I’m with you, no matter what the weather Baby, I’m so happy I found you
Let’s take some time out and stop this crazy life we’re living Light a little fire and watch It glow And if we try, well, we might stop this crazy world from spinning Wouldn’t it be nice to take it slow
I write most songs when my dreams are shattered But I found something else that matters When I’m gazing in your eyes of blue
I know our lives will keep getting better When I’m with you, no matter what the weather Baby, I’m so happy I found you And I love all the little things you do Oh, I’m so happy I found you

It’s Not You, It’s Me (Lindsay Tomasic & Lisa Rapport)
I listened as you told me that you didn’t think I loved you Quite enough for all the dreams we had And then I simply faltered But in my head the things I said were gentle and persuasive And in my heart the moving parts formed sentimental phrases
Inconceivable that you don’t think I love you Unbelievable, you know my world won’t turn without you I don’t know how it turned around, how can I make you see You know that love goes up and down And it’s not you, it’s me
In a flash the moment passed, and though I cannot tell you All the reasons why the things inside Don’t always seem to show In your mind, perhaps you’ll find some comfort when you’re hurting A little trust could carry us through times when you’re uncertain
Inconceivable that you don’t think I love you Unbelievable, you know my world won’t turn without you I don’t know how it turned around, how can I make you see You know that love goes up and down And it’s not you, it’s me
It won’t be long, I’ll make it right There’s a happy ending to this story I know I’m wrong, and I’m contrite Do I get points for being sorry?
Inconceivable that you don’t think I love you Unbelievable, you know my world won’t turn without you I don’t know how it turned around, how can I make you see You know that love goes up and down And it’s not you, it’s me

Listen To The Big World (Lindsay Tomasic)
I’ve been thinking about the world, feeling it turning Turning inside out and now we’re burning Polar bears are drowning in the sea Trying to find a place where they can be
I keep praying that the world will keep on spinning But the atmosphere above us keeps on thinning Oil men are drowning in their greed They just sit and watch the planet bleed
Why don’t we take a stand, give a damn, Give back to the land before we let the river run dry Change our lives, make it right See the light, join the fight Listen to the big world cry
How much longer can we fill this world with rage It’s time for history to turn the page ‘cause time is running out for me and you But there’s still a whole lot left that we can do
Yeah we can take a stand, give a damn Give back to the land before we let the river run dry Change our lives, make it right See the light, join the fight Listen to the big world cry
Big tears fall from darkened skies Acid rain before our eyes
Why don’t we take a stand, give a damn, Give back to the land before we let the river run dry Change our lives, make it right See the light, join the fight Listen to the big world cry
Raise our voice, make a choice Tell all of the girls and boys That we don’t want to let the world die Hear our cry, forget the lies Listen to the big world cry

Lost The Moment (Lauren Wood & Lindsay Tomasic)
It was a lasting first impression, you felt like someone I should know Went to the bedroom, called a taxi, said it was time for you to go All my life I dreamed I’d meet someone like you Should I attempt a conversation, it seems like something I should do Oh, baby, took a lot to get me here But I lost the moment, and I’m blinded my the fear
And I eat my pride, all choked up inside Opportunity, escaping me I know it, I know it….I know And the ego, amigo, must go
It was a difficult appointment, but I got in to see the man Said he was sorry he can’t use me, and then he coughed into his hand All forsaken, I was standing on the ledge I had my feet tied on to concrete, and there were bad thoughts in my head Oh baby, took awhile to get me here I lost the moment, and I’m blinded by the fear
And I eat my pride, all choked up inside Opportunity, escaping me I know it, I know it….I know And the ego, amigo, must go
Oh baby, took awhile to get me here I lost the moment, and I’m blinded by the fear
And I eat my pride, all choked up inside Opportunity, escaping me I know it, I know it….I know And the ego, amigo, must go

Save Your Fork, There’s Pie (Lindsay Tomasic)
It’s a chilly autumn morning and the clouds are hanging low I’ve got my morning coffee, but my engine’s running slow Heading north on 23, with a long, long way to drive The thought of her home cooking, well, it keeps my soul alive
And I can hear her sayin’ with a twinkle in her eye Enjoy this meal before you girl, now save your fork, there’s pie
Well, I’ve got my music playin’ as I’m winding through the trees Thinkin’ of her homemade jam is really such a tease As I’m driving past the bridge, with a yearning in my heart To share this meal together, after all this time apart
She just can’t help but sayin’ with a twinkle in her eye It’s nice to have you home again, now save your fork, there’s pie
Smell that roasted chicken, and her homemade garden beans A lovely presentation always garnished with some greens And sitting at the table, as we pass the bread and wine We’re feelin’ fine
I’m feelin’ mighty hungry, I’ve been drivin’ at this wheel I can’t wait til Sunday just to sit down at that meal Getting closer by the mile, well it’s forcing me to smile No more counting days, I’m goin’ home to stay
And I can hear her sayin’ with a twinkle in her eye Enjoy this meal before you girl, now save your fork, there’s pie Save your fork, there’s pie

Pleasant Valley Sunday (Carole King & Gerry Goffen)
The local rock group down the street is trying hard to learn their song To serenade the weekend squire who just came out to mow his lawn
Another pleasant valley Sunday, charcol burning everywhere Rows of houses that are all the same And no one seems to care
See Mrs. Grey, she’s proud today, because her roses are in bloom And Mr. Green, he’s so serene, he’s got a TV in every room
Another pleasant valley Sunday, here in status symbol land Mothers complain about how hard life is And the kids just don’t understand
Creature comfort goals, they only numb my soul And make it hard for me to see My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away I need a change of scenery
Another pleasant valley Sunday, charcol burning everywhere Another pleasant valley Sunday, here in status symbol land
Another pleasant valley Sunday… Another pleasant valley Sunday…

Sea To Shining Sea (Lindsay Tomasic)
Let us lament the exodus of the innocent Taken away by war and lies of a governmentt Let us lament the exodus of friends Torn from a life of hope to face the end
Let us commence to heal the wounds of society Trying to reach beyond all this anxiety Let us convene and choose the road to peace Hoping that someday soon, this pain will cease
Are we gonna change tomorrow, when lady liberty Has turned her gaze from hope to sorrow From sea to shining sea
Let us remember better days, while we look ahead Like poets and prophets tell us in the books we’ve read How do we help a wounded world survive And how do we keep a dream of peace alive
Are we gonna change tomorrow, when lady liberty Has turned her gaze from hope to sorrow From sea to shining sea
There ain’t no sense in crying that there’s nothing we can do There’s thousands out there dying for the truth like me and you
Are we gonna change tomorrow, when lady libetry Has turned her gaze from hope to sorrow From sea to shining sea

Visions Of You (Lindsay Tomasic) dedicated to the memory of Stephen Chase
I see your face before my eyes when I’m dreaming, And I’m believing you’re still here Sometimes I even think I hear you breathing Softly in my ear
Big tears, falling in spaces, taking me places, I never knew Your love, making my heart fly, watching the night sky Visions of you
I hear your voice so clearly when I’m sleeping Want to be keeping you near Sometimes I even think I feel you creeping Into the daylight, you appear
Big tears, falling in spaces, taking me places, I never knew Your love, making my heart fly, watching the night sky Visions of you
You come to tell me it’s okay I’ll see you again one day You come to tell me I’ll be fine Loving you through space and time
Big tears, falling in spaces, taking me places, I never knew Your love, making my heart fly, watching the night sky Visions of you

You And Only You (Lindsay Tomasic & Stephen Chase)
Just when I thought that I was safe again And no one could make my heart give in And it was cool to be alone No more waiting by the phone I was so in control and any dreams of love I just let go
And in the blinking of an eye So much can change and so did I And it felt good to be surprised by these feelings still inside I can’t ignore anymore, that it’s you that I’ve been waiting for
You and only you make the shadows fade away You and only you turn my darkness into day Baby, please stay
Funny, how easy love can change your mind Just when I thought that I could never find A way I could leave these troubles behind Have someone I wanted all the time And I propose dear, that there’s no Better love than all the love you show
You and only you make the shadows fade away You and only you turn my darkness into day Baby, please stay
Not long ago, it seemed a losing game So little chance I’d find you here But now I’m so sure That the ones that may have come before Were just there to make me love you more
You and only you make the shadows fade away You and only you turn my darkness into day Baby, please stay

Love In My Life (Lindsay Tomasic)
How was I to know you’d come along Your blue eyes, and laughing smile Turned my head around How was I to know that I would fall After all these years and many tears I thought I’d seen it all
But here you are in my view And I can’t seem to get enough of you
If the feeling is right, it will come our way Your love in my life means more than I can say With love in my life, I know that we can fly Through the dark of the night, there’ll be you and I
How was I to know this day would come My lonely heart has come apart And I feel like you’re the one How was I to know what I would feel An open door that I’d explored Is showing me what’s real
And here you are in my view And I can’t seem to get enough of you
If the feeling is right, it will come our way Your love in my life means more than I can say With love in my life, I know that we can fly Through the dark of the night, there’ll be you and I
Come on baby, please don’t walk away Come on baby, I want you to stay
If the feeling is right, it will come our way Your love in my life means more than I can say With love in my life, I know that we can fly
