Gravity
(Dain Bedford-Pugh)
Gravity
Why do you keep holding on to me?
When all I want to be
Is up there drifting with the clouds
Suddenly
I’m not who I want to be
And the shadows watching over me
Are waiting to drag me underground
And I’m always hearing it said
I’ve gotta give up being so in my head
And stop getting so lost
So that I can be found
It’s easy to
Imagine what my life could be
As I contemplate
Letting it all fall away
And it’s clear to me
I’m wrestling with reality
When I should sometimes just let myself be
Tethered to the ground
And I’m always hearing it said
I’ve gotta give up being so in my head
And stop getting so lost
So that I can be found
And I’m always hearing it said
I have to stop living a life full of dread
I’ve gotta start swimming
Before I drown
<Instr. verse>
Maybe I can envision
Turning everything a - round
I’ll try to put it all together
Before it all turns upside down
Gravity
Why do you keep holding on to me?
When all I want to be
Is drifting with the clouds
But, actually
I need you to hold on to me
Because now I can plainly see
Without you I’d just drift away
Gravity, Gravity, Gravity, Gravity, Gravity

Count On Me
(Orton-Kelley)
Why do people offer to help you?
But they never follow through.
And it seems to happen so frequently.
So when all the talking is finished,
And there’s nothing left to say.
Your friends seem to vanish so easily,
Even when the times are darkest,
And you need security.
You know that I’ll be there for you,
‘Cause you can count on me!
Talk is cheap, I’ve heard it before now,
Because it’s when actions count.
That’s when all of those people let you down.
Try to see the picture from my eyes,
What I mean will soon be clear.
Because all of those friends are not around.
I’ll be standing right by your side,
If there’s a conspiracy.
Why don’t you just let me show you?
That you can count on me!
And when things look hopeless, you’ll find out.
You’ll see that you need me,
‘Cause that’s what it’s all about.
When you’re on the edge of disaster,
And it feels like there’s no hope.
That’s because nobody returns your calls.
Maybe you should lose all their numbers,
But be sure to keep mine close.
Cause I’ll always be there in case you fall.
Even when the times are darkest,
And you need stability.
Always know I’ll be there for you,
‘Cause you can count on me!
And when things look hopeless, you’ll find out.
You’ll see that you need me,
‘Cause that’s what it’s all about.
Now it’s looking bright in your future,
Because you’ve had help from me.
I’m the person who’ll never let you down.
I will always keep you from trouble,
If you need me I’ll be there.
Anytime that your world turns upside down.
I’ll be standing right by your side,
*If you need security.
*Why don’t you just let me show you?
That you can count on me!
Count on me!
Count on me!

Out Of This World
(Orton-Kelley)
Out of this world, you send me,
Out of this world, can’t you see?
That you’re driving me mad,
And you think that sounds bad,
But it’s not.
Cause you act like you’re here from Mars,
Or perhaps it’s some distant star.
And you’re making no sense,
You’re a big jumbled mess,
It’s a joke.
Just be happy that we let you stay...
But it doesn’t matter anyway,
Cause the word is that you’re go
Where you belong.
Out of this world, it’s a shame,
Out of this world, you’re to blame,
And you’re making me crazy,
But I’m not getting angry,
‘Cause I’m through... with you.
And don’t let our thoughts chase you away...
But it doesn’t matter anyway,
Cause the truth is that you’re going back.
Where you belong.
Don’t you know the world will survive,
And you know we may even thrive,
When you’re only a memory,
And I’m sure that you won’t be,
Coming back!

Try A Little Kindness
(Orton-Kelley)
We can make our world so much better,
Time to get rid of all of this sadness now.
Shouldn’t we try a little kindness?
We could all use a bit of love somehow.
We should - make the choice to be happy,
Join us – as we look far ahead.
Don’t wait – there is no time to waste now,
Let’s try – try some kindness instead.
Let’s try and make this world much better,
No one should have to live in misery.
What if we tried a little kindness?
Just think how wonderful our lives could be.
We should - make the choice to be happy,
Join us – as we look far ahead.
Don’t wait – there is no time to waste now,
Let’s try – try some kindness instead.
Try a little kind – ness,
It is what is needed now.
Change your mind and free yourself,
To-day.
We can change things if we would try now,
Actions are what we are all measured by.
Now we should try a little kindness.
Show them how good it would be if we’d try.
We should - make the choice to be happy,
Join us – as we look far ahead.
Don’t wait – there is no time to waste now,
Let’s try – try some kindness instead.
Try a little kind – ness,
It is what is needed now.
Change your mind and free yourself,
To-day
Let’s try and make the world much better,
We can imagine a new history,
Shouldn’t we try a little kindness?
Imagine how wonderful the world could be.
We should - make the choice to be happy,
Join us – as we look far ahead.
Don’t wait – there is no time to waste now,
Let’s try – try some kindness instead.

Nothing Left To Say
(Orton – Kelley)
When I look into your eyes,
I know that’s where heaven lies,
I looked for love for so long,
Always seemed to get it wrong.
Now we know we don’t need to search for true love,
It comes when you least expect it to,
That’s why all the words escape me,
Speechless is the way you made me ‘cos,
You took my breath away,
There’s nothing left to say.
All our friends, say that we’re crazy,
Think that we’re not meant to be.
All I know is things were hazy,
‘Till you put your spell on me.
My guess is they have a bit of jealousy,
‘Cos they don’t have true love by their side.
So we’ve chosen not to hear them,
Don’t want us to be so near them.
Let’s tell them to walk away,
There’s nothing left to say.
That’s the way it has to be,
Until all of them can see,
All the love we have that’s in our hearts.
And now it’s just me and you,
Knowing what we always knew.
Our love will go on and on,
Feels so right it can’t be wrong.
True love found us when we least expected it,
Took the chance to love and held on tight,
Love you in so many ways,
Words fail so I’ll show you every day.
You take my breath away,
There’s nothing left to say.

Stay With Me
(This Is The Place)
(Orton-Kelley)
Stay with me, this is the place to be, yeah.
Stay right here, and never leave.
When you’re down, and can’t get over it.
Take my hand, and follow me.
You can trust me to be your guide today.
Hold me closer, I’ll show you how,
Makes no sense for you to cry now,
Just be happy that you’re here to stay...
When you’re here, the magic happens now,
You know this is somewhere new.
It is where all of your dreams can come true.
Move on over let me try now,
There’s no reason to wonder how,
We know it’s the perfect place for you...
Stay with me, this is the place to be, yeah.
Stay right here, and never leave.
Clear your mind, and take a moment now.
Realize, you’re really here.
It’s the answer, there is no other way.
Just let go and feel the freedom,
Feels like it’s a change of season,
Let me hear the words you want to say, (that you’ll)
Stay with me, this is the place to be, yeah.
Stay right here, and never leave.
Here’s the place, that I dream about,
Where I quite often go.
I would like you to stay with me today.
It’s so easy, I’ll show you how,
We can stay here, never leave now,
Let me hear the words you want to say, (say that you’ll)
Stay with me, this is the place to be, yeah.
Stay right here, and never leave. (repeat)

Stand Up
(Orton-Kelley)
It seems the walls are so close,
Looks like there’s no way around.
You feel so helpless right now,
But there’s a way out I’ve found.
Stand up, let your voice be loud.
Wake up, show them that you’re proud.
Let go, you know by saying these words,
Can make your voice be heard.
Battle lines have been drawn,
No one can find common ground.
You’re not sure which side to choose,
But we can change this I vow.
Stand up, courage is the way,
Wake up, show them all today.
Let go, you know by saying these words,
Can make your voice be heard.
Stand up today,
Doesn’t matter what they say,
It’s up to you,
To choose your own way.
Our eyes can see the same things,
But we view them differently,
Together let’s take a stand,
Let’s be united and see.
Stand up, let your voice be loud.
Wake up, show them that you’re proud.
Let go, you know by saying these words,
Can make your voice be heard.
Stand up today,
Doesn’t matter what they say,
It’s up to you,
To choose your own way.
We are all so much alike,
That they can’t tell us apart.
Look for the good that’s inside,
You know it’s there in your heart.
Stand up, courage is the way,
Wake up, show them all today.
Let go, you know by saying these words,
Can make your voice be heard.
Can make your voice be heard.
Can make your voice be heard.

Peace
(Dain Bedford-Pugh)
The earth keeps on spinning
As it has always done
And we’re nowhere near learning
That our time here will soon be gone
I think of the lions
And how they’re facing the end of their days
Surrounded by people brimming with pride
Who should be burning with shame
Where in the world will they find
Where in the world will they find
Where in the world will they find Peace?
Some of you call upon angels
Your hands raised up to the sky
I just gaze up at the stars and weep
Without the need to question why
Now you see that it’s ending
And you know you’ve barely begun
You’ll find no joy in pretending
That you’re content with all that you’ve done
Where in the world will you find
Where in the world will you find
Where in the world will you find Peace?
Now you know that greatness may be just out of reach
But it’s okay to just let it go
Just try living this life authentically
Instead of acting like you’re always on show
So many think that they’re winning
And there’ll be shocked when it all comes undone
I see them running into the dark
Instead of facing what is to come
But still, the earth keeps on spinning
Just as it’s always done
I feel like screaming the truth from the rooftops
And I know I’m not the only one
Where in the world will I find
Where in the world will I find
Where in the world will I find Peace?
Where in the world will we find
Where in the world will we find
Where in the world will we find Peace?

It’s Such A Shame
(Orton–Wiles-Kelley)
Well, a man and a woman have to,
Keep that loving coming, and it must grow all the time.
I thought we had that special something,
But you turned it into nothing,
It’s a lowdown dirty crime.
You said you'd never leave me, I knew it was a lie.
I thought that you’d believe me.
Instead you said goodbye.
Along came some new guy you decided you would stand by,
I say shame, shame, shame on you.
All that trust we had between us,
Disappeared and didn't mean much.
Now the blame is all on you.
You said you'd never leave me, I knew it was a lie.
I thought that you’d believe me.
Instead you said goodbye.
It's such a shame, it's such a shame, it's such a shame
Now you won’t feel my loving anymore.
Well, I can’t believe it’s over, and my
Heart has now grown colder, it’s an awful crying shame.
You know you took my hopes and dashed them,
And I can’t stop feeling so numb,
But I guess that was your game.
Now I’m glad you left me, your love was such a lie.
I knew that you deceived me,
So now I’m saying goodbye.
It's such a shame, it's such a shame, it's such a shame
Now you won’t feel my loving anymore.
Well, I know it’s finally ended,
But I can’t help being offended,
And I’ll never feel the same.
You know you don’t deserve my loving,
And I’m finally feeling nothing,
Your dark heart put out the flame.
Now I’m glad you left me, your love was such a lie.
I knew that you deceived me,
So now I’m saying goodbye.
It's such a shame, it's such a shame, it's such a shame
Now you won’t feel my loving anymore.
It's such a shame, it's such a shame, it's such a shame
Now you won’t get my loving anymore.

That’s The Way
(Orton-Kelley)
Listen hard to these directions,
What we all need is a course correction.
Cause that’s the way,
Hear me now, I have a feeling,
That what’s inside you is what’s revealing,
Cause there’s a way.
You can change who you want to be,
I have lived long enough to see,
That’s the way that it was meant to be,
Yeah, that’s the way.
You must choose what is your passion,
And don’t you worry ‘bout what’s in fashion,
Cause that’s the way,
Dreams are made there is no question,
And you can reach them, don’t make concessions,
Cause there’s a way.
You can change who you want to be,
I have lived long enough to see,
That’s the way that it was meant to be,
Yeah, that’s the way.
Stand aside all of you cynics,
Don’t get in our way.
We have found a better answer,
We know it’s time for change, that’s the way.
Take the time to find joy inside,
It’s easy, all you have to do is try,
Cause that’s the way.
Enjoy all the time life gives you,
So take the chance now, your actions are true,
Cause there’s a way.
You can change who you want to be,
I have lived long enough to see,
That’s the way that it was meant to be,
Yeah, that’s the way.
Stand aside all of you cynics,
Don’t get in our way.
We have found a better answer,
We know it’s time for change, that’s the way.
Listen hard to these new lessons,
You can defeat all of their objections,
Cause that’s the way,
Hear me now, I have a feeling,
That what’s inside you is what’s revealing,
Cause there’s a way,
You can change who you want to be,
I have lived long enough to see,
That’s the way that it was meant to be,
Yeah, that’s the way.

I’m Dancing
(Orton-Kelley)
Don’t you know I’m looking,
Forward to this Saturday night,
The music starts a playing,
But there’s something that is not quite right.
I don’t know why, but everybody’s looking at me.~
I’m just moving, grooving can’t you see?
Someone’s called the doctor,
Wants to have a good look at me.
He tries to take my heart rate,
But I tell him just to let me be.
Leave me alone, I don’t really care who disapproves. ~
Stand back, mister, watch me make my moves.
And I’m dancing, Yes, I’m dancing.
Oh, I’m dancing, don’t you know I’m dancing, yeah, yeah.
Yes I may look strange now,
Don’t need to worry, I’ll be all right.
I’m shaking on the dance floor,
I’m moving awkwardly through the night.
They laugh at me, cos they think that I have two left feet.~
Don’t’ know ‘bout that, but I feel the beat.
And I’m dancing, Yes, I’m dancing.
Oh, I’m dancing, don’t you know I’m dancing, yeah, yeah.
Everything’s all right yeah,
People start to imitate me.
I’m the new dance craze now,
You can watch me dancing on the TV.
Yes, it’s funny, people used to laugh at me all night,~
But I’m cool now; everything’s all right.
Oh I’m dancing,
Yes, I’m dancing.
Oh, I’m dancing,
Don’t you know I’m dancing, yeah, yeah, yeah.
