OCEANS OF YOU
Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa
Watching the sunset
Standing somewhere on a beach
Healed by the water
Reminding me
I know I can't go back
Can't quite remember where I've been
Healed by the water
Feels like I'm drowning in oceans of tears
I can’t touch bottom I'm running out of air
I'm going under
Oh rescue me
From these oceans of
You
Endless oceans of you
You're everything
Everything I had hoped to be
The waves have a way of reminding me
When did you notice?
Notice that we weren't meant to be?
Why didn't you tell me?
Why was I the last to know?
Feels like I'm drowning in oceans of tears
I can’t touch bottom I'm running out of air
I'm going under
Oh rescue me
From these oceans of
You
Endless oceans of you
And I am searching for a heart that’s true
In these oceans of you
Oceans of you
Feels like I'm drowning in oceans of tears
I can’t touch bottom I'm running out of air
I'm going under
Oh rescue me
From these oceans of
You
Endless oceans of you
And I am searching for a heart that’s true
In these oceans of you
Oceans of you
Oceans of you
Oceans of you
Endless oceans of you
And I am searching for a heart that’s true
In these oceans of you
Oceans of you

HEART TO HEART
Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa
Tell me my son, can you see me beyond the stars?
Am I living in your heart?
Rescued by an angel, disguised as a child
Did you know, you saved my life?
Heart to heart, forever bound
Heart to heart, we won’t make a sound
Heart to heart, we’re on our way
Through this unpromised land
Until the day, you fly away
Wherever you go, you know my heart goes with you
Whatever you do, I will feel what you feel
I will watch you, win and lose
And then when it's all over
I'll be waiting here… waiting here
Heart to heart, forever bound
Heart to heart, we won’t make a sound
Heart to heart, one more day
In this unpromised land
Until the day you fly away
Heart to heart, forever bound
Heart to heart, we won’t make a sound
Heart to heart, you’re on your way
Through this unpromised land
Heart to heart
Beyond the day, I fly away

CUT AND DRIED
Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa
Can you read my mind?
If you could, you’d know
I’m just killin’ time
It’s pretty cut and dried
Some kind of war
But I’m not afraid to fight
And I think it’s time to go
I don’t want to say goodbye
But I know it’s out of my control
And what happens next
Is cut and dried
The news wasn’t good today
It is what it is
But is shouldn’t be this way
It’s pretty cut and dried
So much to talk about
But nothing left to say
And I know now it’s time to go
I just gotta make it right
Cause I can’t remember who I am
Or what happens next
It’s cut and dried
I’ll wait for you
I won’t leave you behind
Silent dreams in black and white
When we were on the same side
The clock’s tick ticking
And I can’t take it back
We might be running out of time
So sad but true
It’s pretty cut, cut, cut and dried
My thoughts are dark at night
Watch your back
Because your best friend’s got a knife
It’s pretty cut and dried
Justice is blinded
When they come from either side
And I know it’s time to go
There’s nowhere left to hide
For we each are held responsible
For what happens next
It’s cut and dried
I’ll wait for you
I won’t leave you behind
Silent dreams in black and white
When we were on the same side
The clock’s tick ticking
And I can’t take it back
We might be running out of time
So sad but true
It’s pretty cut, cut, cut and dried

JUST ONE WORD
Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa
Just one word
To tell the world
How I feel about you
Dream about you
I just can’t live without you
Just one word
So powerful…
Sometimes I can’t breathe
And it won’t matter where I am
I’d give anything for one more chance
To hear you say…
Just one word
And it’ll all be OK
I know it’s hard
To leave it behind
Just one word
Everything will be alright
You make a wish
And I’ll try not to cry
You showed me a world
Where love means love
And I don’t have to be afraid
In our little world
There’s just the two of us
3 kids, 2 dogs, a guinea pig
And all the love
All the love
All the love that we’ve made
And it won’t matter where you are
Just know tomorrow won’t be
Quite as hard
Please say…
Just one word
And it’ll all be OK
Whisper my name
And the world disappears
Just one word
And it’ll all fade away
The hands of time
Will wipe away your tears
Just one word
To tell the world
How I feel about you
Dream about you
I just can’t live without you
Just one word
And it’ll all be OK
Whisper my name
And the world disappears
Just one word
Will make it all go away
The hands of time
Will wipe away your tears
Just one word
And it’ll all be OK
Whisper my name
And the world disappears
Just one word
And it will all fade away
The hands of time
Will wipe away your tears

CLOSER
Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa
Where it begins is a sacred place
Guarded intentions
And the choices we make
You’re not so naïve
To believe
Your deception wouldn’t matter
This is where it begins…
Tell me that story
About those friends of yours
And how they met with some regret
Well, you know the rest
Divided by silence
And the words they can’t say
The honeymoon’s over
Nothing remains
Where it begins is a sacred place
Guarded forgiveness
Of a single mistake
I’m closer to you
Than I’ve ever been to anyone
Closer to you
I want to be closer to you
Please tell me the truth always
Closer to you
So here we stand
Face-to-face
Nothing to hide
No mistakes to erase
I’m closer to you, than I’ve ever been to anyone
Closer to you
I want to be closer to you
Please tell me the truth always
Closer to you

FIRELIGHT
Words & Musc by Renate Anne Daversa
Musical contributions by Scott Williams & Hunter Wright
Blue moon rising
Darkness subsiding
Firelight, but blind
Above the rooftops, beyond the trailerparks, everywhere at once
Why won't you believe?
In something so real you just can't see it right now
What's invisible, you cannot see
Why won't you believe in Firelight?
Their voices carry me away
Another time another place
Above the mountaintops, beyond the trailerparks, everywhere at once
Why won't you believe?
In something so real you just can't see it right now
What's invisible, you cannot see
Why won't you believe in Firelight?

THE UPSIDE DOWN
Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa
Everything
Is turned around
Upside down confusing
Try to recall
All of the times
Before the happy ending
Appreciate
Never too late
To tell them that you love them
No time to waste
Do it today
Tomorrow could be too late
These are hard times…
It’s not your turn
Get back in line
I want to go home
When I close my eyes
I’ll walk right through that door
To the other side
You gotta be strong
You can’t break down
Stand up straight
In the upside down
What to expect
Will I be next
I wonder if they’ll miss me
Will I defend
All of the times
As I stand before me
Try to believe
What we can’t see
Will somehow make a difference
No time to waste
Do it today
Tomorrow could be too late
It’s getting dark
Follow the light
Straight to my heart
I want to go home
When I close my eyes
I’ll walk right through that door
To the other side
You gotta be strong
You can’t back down
When you face
The faceless
In the upside down
These are hard times…
Take a deep breath
There’s still some time
I want to go home
When I close my eyes
I’ll walk right through that door
To the other side
You gotta be strong
You can’t back down
Stand up straight
In the upside down

FUNNY
Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa
Right this way
Please take your seat
The show is about to begin
The light’s so bright
You’re blinded by it
It’s hard to believe this is your life
So you thought this time there were no survivors
Just a broken heart left in pieces
Turn your head
Pretend not to see
The way she looks at him
Where were you
The night she cried herself to sleep
Funny these things
Paradise
Nowhere to hide
Enter this crowded room
The light’s so bright
You’re blinded by it
It’s hard to believe this is your life
So you thought this time there were no survivors
Just a broken heart left in pieces
Two points of blue
A tower of stone
The hero a million miles away
Close your mind
Pretend not to hear
The way she cries his name
Where were you
The night she cried herself to sleep
Funny these things

TYPE A
Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa
Is there a problem?
I know I’m focused
Some might say driven
Ambition is my middle name
I just can’t help it
I was born this way
Please forgive me
I’m Type A all day
It’s a bit of a burden
It can be a gift
Mostly a curse
For those nearby
Don’t be afraid
You can always count on me
You’ll get to know me
I’m Type A all day
I’m just being myself (A)
I don’t know any other way (A)
To be the best
At being me
I know what you’re gonna say
I do my best
Try to relax
Live in the moment
On this speeding train
I promise I’ll change
You know, I’ll find a way
Cause remember
I’m Type A all day
I’m just being myself
I don’t know any other way
To be the best
That I can be
No excuses. No apologies
Is there a problem?
Some call it passion
Laser beam focus on the road ahead
I’m loyal to the end
A forever friend
I’m simply full of life
I’m Type A all day
I’m just being myself
I don’t know any other way
To be the best
That I can be
No regrets. No apologies
