Back On Dream Street Vs 1 I took a trip down memory lane, driven by the mind, back to my childhood days Gonna take a slice of a goodtime, when life was sweet as cherry pie We've got James Brown on the radio, as we drive on to the drive in picture show Eating popcorn, throwing candy, while Godzilla trashes Tokyo There's nothing in this world like being young Ch 1 I wanna take a stroll now, back on dream street Cruisin' down the avenue, groovin' to a cool beat Hangin' out with my friends, wish the fun would never end Life was so simple then, back on dream street Vs 2 When I hear that Motown backbeat, it always seems to take me away Time to tune into the Bandstand, and check out all the latest dance craze The Mashed Potato and the Boogaloo, a shimmy shimmy coco pop, you know what to do TV magic made me wonder, will Mr. Clark ever age? What I wouldn't give to do it all again Ch 2 I wanna take a stroll now, back on dream street Cruisin' down the avenue, groovin' to a cool beat Hangin' out with my friends, wish the fun would never end Life was so simple then, back on dream street Bridge I'm not trying to turn back the hands of time, but those were days unlike any other kind Me and my memories will never be apart How I love the things that keep me young at heart Music: Lang Bliss, Renee Garcia Lyrics: Renee Garcia ©℗2011 ASCAP Diff’rent Wirld Productions

Soon Vs 1 Never saw the time as morning hurried by, but afternoons were like the never-ending sky, I’d go to my mother to see, when could I fly free, she'd say, "soon my child you'll see." Ch 1 I’ve been counting the moments till soon I’ve been praying from midnight to noon I’ll be as high as the man in the moon when I find what my heart has been beating for when I get to soon Vs 2 The season’s come and go, never slowing down, so I’m scattering the seeds of dreams upon the ground God only knows when the rain will come, so I rest my soul when the work is done Ch 2 I’ve been counting the moments till soon I’ve been praying from midnight to noon I’ll be as high as the man in the moon when I find what my heart has been beating for when I get to soon Bridge Don’t lose heart while you wait, thinking that all you've done's been in vain our Father sees everything and soon we’ll reap, if we don’t faint Music:Lang Bliss Lyrics:Lang Bliss, Renee Garcia ©℗2011 ASCAP Diff’rent Wirld Productions

Finding Paradise Vs 1 She’s a wayward girl running wild, a custody case since she was a child Just a little angry, just a little pissed, experts say, it’s the love she missed At any rate, someone’s gonna pay, too much steam to let off in a day Ch 1 So down the road and around the bend Under the bridge to find the end Feels like a gamble, a roll of the dice But she keeps on searching, finding Paradise Vs 2 It's a day to day kinda thing, she's a little bit older, less aware of the sting Just a little calloused, a cynic tried and true, it seems apropos after all she's been through She's wonderin' does everybody bleed, or do you just pretend and deny the need? Ch 2 So down the road and around the bend under the bridge to find the end feels like a gamble, a roll of the dice but she keeps on searching, finding Paradise Bridge Where will she go and what will she do, Who will she find to help see her through, She keeps movin' on, still payin' the price, How long will she roam, til she finds her way home, my Paradise Music: Lang Bliss Lyrics: Lang Bliss, Renee Garcia ©℗2011 ASCAP Diff’rent Wirld Productions

See The Light Vs 1 I saw my friend just the other day, wearing a smile, walking with a cane, hadn’t seen him it was longer than I remember So we grabbed a cup of joe, as he caught me up on life so far, some major changes happened late September The mustang ran this superman, into a tree at 4th and Grand thought he’d bought a ticket to a permanent destination I saw his face and heard his voice, I saw peace and I heard joy seems the worst had brought it’s revelation Pre Ch 1 Why oh why is it human nature, to run until we hit the wall a hundred miles an hour, and we’re in little pieces looking back and wondering what went wrong Ch 1 We stumble in the dark and see the light We try to get a spark to see the light When life has left it’s mark, we see the light Ain’t a walk in the park to see the light See the light Vs 2 I saw this guy on a TV show, looked at my friend and said “what do you know, look at what the cat dragged in the house tonight!” I knew this guy and he took for granted, the gift of love he’d found on this planet, so the Mrs. left and gave up on the fight He said, it all just crashed and burned, now he’s counting lessons learned, it’s no surprise he finally feels the loss But love will find the meek at heart, and give a second chance to start, he paid the price so now he counts the cost Pre Ch 2 Why oh why is it human nature, to run until we hit the wall, a hundred miles an hour, and we’re in little pieces looking back and wondering what went wrong Ch 2 We stumble in the dark and see the light We try to get a spark to see the light When life has left it’s mark we see the light Ain’t no walk in the park to (finally) see the light see the light Music: Lang Bliss Lyric: Lang Bliss, Renee Garcia ©℗2011 ASCAP Diff’rent Wirld Productions

Love Will Always Lead You Home Vs 1 A lavish buffet before me, no way I had to eat, I drank from the cup of the tempter and found it bitter sweet, No delicacy did I ever deny my palette to know, But all that glitters isn't gold Ch 1 You live your life trying to find true happiness, You could gain the world and lose your very soul, When you look in your heart and you find that nothing's left, Remember love will always lead you, Love will always lead you home Vs 2 I painted the town a red no one had ever seen, Persuaded by fortune and glamour you know I made the scene, I danced to the tune of the piper and taught him a thing or two, But then I paid him all he was due Ch 2 You live your life trying to find true happiness, You could gain the world and lose your very soul, When you look in your heart and you find that nothing's left, Remember love will always lead you, Love will always lead you home Bridge If ever I was to tell a lie, and say it all was just a dream, Then the truth would stand before me, and demand to have a say, Cause Someone brought me home and it was nobody other than Love Music: Lang Bliss Lyric: Renee Garcia, Lang Bliss, Jeff Silvey ©℗2011 ASCAP Diff’rent Wirld Productions

2 Heads Are Better Than 1 It all began the month of May, ‘twas a guy, a girl, a fateful day, atoms driven to colliding, surely destiny was guiding them Soon what grew was frightening, eerie chemistry had spawned a thing, there were two but now it’s just one, I’m afraid it can’t be undone! 2 heads are better than 1 when love brings them together 2 heads are better than one always and forever It was quite a pair to see, it could speak with rare telepathy, one could finish for the other, there could never be another one It took over everything, like Godzilla on a weekend fling, a monster made from their love, could it be a plan from above? 2 heads are better than 1 when love brings them together 2 heads are better than 1 always and forever Stand back beware what you do, a puff of smoke, a flash, and you're through it's a mystery, this potion when love is set in motion Music: Lang Bliss Lyrics: Lang Bliss, Renee Garcia ©℗2011 ASCAP Diff’rent Wirld Productions

The Things I Wish I'd Said Stood in your doorway, hat in my hand, reached for your doorbell, abandoned my plan though I rehearsed it, word after word, the sound of me leaving, was all that was heard and I see you through the window, and pretend that I forget The things I wish I'd said, are still inside my head never letting me forget, all the fear that I regret oh the things I wish I'd said I punch in your number, I tremble and shake I'll say what I have to, how long can it take? you'll probably laugh and say, "don't be silly" or more likely say nothing at all so I stop and say why bother, and I haven't bothered yet, The things I wish I'd said, are still inside my head never letting me forget, all the fear that I regret Oh, the things I wish I'd said, are still inside my head never letting me forget, all the fear that I regret Oh, the things I wish I'd said Love and fear are enemies I'll choose which side or they'll choose me I'll take this chance and I'll speak the truth and pray we'll make it through The things I wish I'd said, are still inside my head never letting me forget, all the fear that I regret Oh the things I wish I'd said, are still inside my head but I promise this, that you'll never find me dead with the things I wish I'd said I love you, I need you Music: Lang Bliss, Bob Halligan, Jr. Lyrics: Renee Garcia, Bob Halligan, Jr., Lang Bliss ©℗2011 ASCAP Diff’rent Wirld Productions

The Best of Times Lucy begins her day the way she does every other she hits the alarm and rubs her eyes, her feet hit the floor she plants a garden, flowers fill her home with their fragrance she does what she does because she knows it down to the core, she says, Carry a song to sing as if your life depended on it anything good you want is always worth the fight remember it's all in what you call the best of times So Lucy is teaching both her children what she believes in lions and castles, numbers, letters, fill little jars she knows the joy is all in how you choose to perceive it so she is teaching them to run and lasso the stars, she says, Carry a song to sing as if your life depended on it anything good you want is always worth the fight remember it's all in what you call the best of times Just so you know she ain't no Pollyana she's known her share of pain in this life, trouble and strife, walls she had to climb over, but she figures her time's too short, living the life sublime, these are the best of times Music: Lang Bliss Lyrics: Lang Bliss, Renee Garcia ©℗2011 ASCAP Diff’rent Wirld Productions

Freedom Fighter Heard the news today, you went MIA another story of, a casualty of love I have the seen the fear on your face before the shade as you withdrew Listen now, hear my vow, there's nothin' I won't do I am the one who fights, fights for your freedom I am the one who fights, to see you whole, gonna help heal your soul, I'm your Freedom Fighter, baby I'm your Freedom Fighter, baby A skirmish in your heart, from a buried poison dart it was lying dormant there, till a phantom brought a scare then you hid inside of your dungeon dark, hidden out of sight Listen now, hear my vow, I'm gonna shine some light I am the one who fights, fights for your freedom I am the one who fights, to see you whole, gonna help heal your soul, I'm your Freedom Fighter, baby I'm your Freedom Fighter, baby There's a field that's strewn with the shells of men, the hopeless and the proud, well it's do or die, gotta break through the lie, got a victory in sight, so we fight till we see heaven's light Music: Lang Bliss Lyrics: Lang Bliss, Renee Garcia ©℗2011 ASCAP Diff’rent Wirld Productions
