They said to me I was nothing more than a pintsized red-head
Never had a boyfriend
Cos I never was, never was a cool girl
They said to me I would never be a singer
Cos I didn’t have the right voice
And I never would, never would write songs
Oh…
There’s a fire within my belly
Oh…
Never judge a book by its cover
Oh…
Just bide your time till you can be
You can be who you want to be
CHORUS
Dance with me in the heavenly waters
Skip and play in the heavenly seas
Sing every song that’s ever been written
Tell your tales and write stories
Soar with me on the wings of an eagle
Over mountains covered in snow
Fill your life with people and places
Grab your dreams and never let go
Live your dreams don’t ever let them ever say no
They said to you you will never have a big adventure
Cos you’re too timid and you never would, never would stand out
Now look at you, you have made your name
In different countries
You’re standing taller
Like I always knew, always knew you would do

Just like the summer breeze
Once the rain has gone
We can breathe again
You let me go and play in the meadow
Play in the sweet long grass
Walking beside you
Silent beside you
There is no need for words
That’s how your hand in mine
Makes me feel sublime
There can be no doubt
CHORUS
Be like a butterfly
Hold me gently
Wrapped in your arms tonight
Be like a butterfly
Soft and tender
Stay with me till the light
Cos I, I love you
How much deeper can it be
When I look at you
Those eyes set me free
In to your arms
Hold me, hold me tight
I won’t let you go
Till you take me to the light

Autumn - Angie Townsend

Is life a tree standing ever watching
The seasons come, the seasons go, ever knowing
That there, in lies, an ever changing beauty
That there, in lies, an ever changing life
CHORUS
And I will fall down at your feet
For I am an autumn leaf
But I will fall in to your arms
Set free by the autumn breeze
The summer sun, sets lower in the sky now
And birds they fly, their nests all bare, is it time now?
For one last kiss, while angels dance around us
For one last kiss, before the winter’s storm

Facing a silent enemy
Is it hard to see beyond the fight
No amount of rhyme or reason
Helps you face the fear inside
Round and around and around and around
Watching the petals fall to the ground
The days seem so long
Spinning around and around in your head
Feeling alone as you lie in your bed
We must hold on
CHORUS
So let me take you - To the mountain
See the wonders - and breathe again
Cos where there’s hope and love
Let it surround you
Climb the mountain – and breathe again
Shadows and former glories
Is it all that’s left? It takes its toll
But we must go on fighting
So all of us can live again

This land is full of broken dreams
The fire is burning cold
I don’t belong in this mad place
My youthful heart grows old
Time to break the chains
Play me pirate games
Set sail with me – aah ooo
CHORUS
Take me down to the shallow ground
Let me play once more in the shallows
Sail with me to the glassy sea
Let us think no more about tomorrow
I’m running where the spirit takes me
Wonder where I’ll venture
Running where the wind blows, baby,
I’m on a new adventure.
La la la oh ho
The tide has turned I leave behind
A cold and empty place
For freedom calls through crashing waves
And salt spray on my face

Two little feet on a sandy beach
Tempting the water
Waves crash like giants
As you run away from the cold
Two little feet on a sandy beach
Unknown the steps you’ll take
Curiosity gathers pace
As the old sun sets on another day
And oh – I look upon you and like stars you shine
Cos you – you really do matter
CHORUS
Go now, tell it to your heart
Tell it to your soul, never let it go
For you are a gift from above
Go now, tell it to your heart
Tell it to your soul, I won’t let you go
Cos you are the reason I love
Yes you are my gift from above
Two little sandals on a sandy beach
Building sand castles
Watching the breakers
As it takes your dreams to the sea
Two little sandals on a sandy beach
Rock-pools and fishing
Climbing rocks and looking out
As the old sun sets on another day
And oh, we used to think life was so easy then
But you, you really do matter
Two grown feet on a sandy beach
Walking the shoreline
Finding shells and skimming
As you drift along on a summer’s day
Two grown feet on a sandy beach
Warm hearts, once lovers
Hair blowing in the wind
As the old sun sets on another day
And oh, we sometimes break down and we lose our way
But you, you really do matter

When your world is shrouded in darkness
You search for the beat of your heart
You’ve a calling, but you don’t know
What it is or where to start
You’ve a faith that’s strong enough
To light the passion in your soul
But you’re nursing, and you’re holding
Battlescars you won’t let go
What if the road was clear?
What if you’d nothing to fear, would you ..
CHORUS
Live a little, love a little, laugh a little
It will always make you stronger
Live a little warmer
Give a little, smile a little, lift your head
It will always make you stronger
Live a little longer
If your glass is always empty
You won’t hear the wonderful songs
See the sunset, pick a flower
Always wondering what went wrong
But if your cup, it overflows
Darkness won’t pierce your heart
Chase a rainbow, sail a tall ship
Walk the walk to a brand new start

For many centuries man has borne his soul
To the taste of aqua vitae
Each to find his home
For some the heart is healed
While others it takes hold
So slay the angry demons
In the fire that does not die
CHORUS
Bow to the spirit in the air
You cannot taste
Before you taste
The Angels’ Share
Low and high flyers shed their golden tears
To feel the breath of ospreys
In silver sands of time
But man is not a mountain
Nor island jewel alone
So in your hearts be lifted
By uisge beatha my friend (uisge beatha – Scottish Gaelic for whisky)
Amidst the yarns of history
Its passage sometimes clear
To feed the poet’s mind now
And writers dare to dream
Yet all around the angels
Watch with guiding eyes
So lift the vapours to them
And farewell passers-by

Turning the pages of a brand new chapter, we’ll find
A tapestry of life
That’s been woven together for us
And if the rain should fall
I will be the one sheltering you
This my promise, my unconditional truth
Cos I love you
CHORUS
When you hold me
Nothing else matters at all
In this moment, time stands still
I will love you, all the days of my life
And together we will grow strong
For you’re my rock, my soul mate, my life
We have planted a strong seed of love, in our souls
And in this cradle of adventure
We will walk together as one
And if a tear should fall
I will wipe it dry from your face
You’re my tenderness, you’re the warmth I embrace
Cos I need you …
And if you feel alone
I will be the one by your side
I won’t let you go
Keeping you safe through the night
Cos I want you

Little imperfections in your day
They bring you down, I don’t understand it
Who’s to say what’s right or wrong anyway
Just look at me – I’m not disappointed
If you could only see what I see
Break the mould, take off the chains
Be free and then
You’ll wiggle a little harder
CHORUS
Don’t change anything about you
Cos your little imperfections make it all so true
I love every hair on your head
With your little imperfections
Makes my heart feel glad
That I am just the same as you
We’ve all little imperfections
That don’t get in the way
So don’t change anything about you
With your little imperfections
Make you who you are, a shining star,
Oh yeah, that’s who you are
Radiance is deeper than the skin
Your smile is like the promise of tomorrow
Everyone is gifted if we choose
To look within
Be happy cos you’re different
If they look down on you
They will fall
Find that little spark and
Have it all and then
You’ll wriggle a little harder

Will you follow?
Too late, too late for changes.
Is the shadow round your heart a blood red stone
And I will be waiting, I will be waiting
Hear me call
CHORUS
I’ve been a thousand places
Will you follow?
Captured the hearts of many
Will you be with me now
I’ve been a thousand places
You belong too
A lesson I can remember
Will you be with me now?
Be with me..
Too hard to say you’re forgiven
Is the shadow round your heart one of your own
And I will be longing, I will be waiting
So hear me call
