Lyrics

BEAUTIFUL DAY

(Sara Haze / James T. Slater)

Saturday is the smile on Mona Lisa's face
A little spare change given to the stranger on the corner
A pile of leaves, deep enough for my soul to jump into
And all my doubts fall away
And lead me here to say

It's a BEAUTIFUL DAY
Summer songs outside my window pane
And I don't need my umbrella
Cuz I've already been through the rain
I can feel the sunshine on my face
Not a cloud in my personal sky
It's a BEAUTIFUL DAY
It's a BEAUTIFUL DAY

Change the world
You know I would if I could
But all I have are my blue jeans and my black t-shirt
And that's just fine
Cuz everyday you know I try
To make art not war
And let love reign
And lead the world to say

The light will shine
In a perfect sky
The morning sun
Will be yours and mine
A sea of peace
Will wash over me
And I'll hold my breath and pray

MY OWN HANDS TO HOLD

(Sara Haze / Eric Fraley)

I was alone
Sitting on the steps outside your door
You weren't home
Hell I've been through this too many times before
And we go on and on
Round and round
It's like we can't break free

You're bringing me down
Now you got me on my knees
The first time around
You were so good to me
But now I'm out here in the cold
With just MY OWN HANDS TO HOLD
But where are you, where are you

Time goes by slow
Making my way through the words you said
And I didn't know
You were only playing with my head
Still we go on and on
Round and round
It's time that we break free

You're bringing me down
Now you got me on my knees
The first time around
You were so good to me
But now I'm out here in the cold
With just MY OWN HANDS TO HOLD

You built me up
You made me believe
That I was the only one
That you'd ever need
But now I'm sitting here
And nobody cares but me

Stop bringing me down
Now you got me on my knees
The first time around
You were so good to me
But now I'm out here in the cold
With just MY OWN HANDS TO HOLD

You're bringing me down
Now you got me on my knees
The first time around
You were so good to me
But now I'm out here in the cold
With just MY OWN HANDS TO HOLD
But where are you
Oh where are you

MELT INTO YOU

(Sara Haze / Justin Gray / Robyn Newman)

I hold tight it slips through my fingers
Like whispers falling off my tongue
Your kiss on my lips still lingers
Suddenly it feels like we’re alone right now
Don’t talk, Don't breathe, Don't move, Don’t speak
Don’t make a sound
In case it leaves
(Don’t let it leave)
So turn off the stars
Or they’ll start to blind us
Stay where we are
But leave it behind us
We’re falling apart
But falling together now
I MELT INTO YOU, MELT INTO YOU
You melt into me, melt into me
And I won’t ever let you go
Let’s run away from the chaos
And hide away from all the noise
Some place we know they won’t find us
Suddenly it feels like we’re alone right now
Don’t hesitate the world can wait
Let it spin around
But don’t blink twice
It could disappear
So turn off the stars
Or they’ll start to blind us
Stay where we are
But leave it behind us
We’re falling apart
But falling together now
I MELT INTO YOU, MELT INTO YOU
You melt into me, melt into me
And I won’t ever let you go
I don’t wanna wake up
I don’t wanna wake up
I don’t wanna wake up
I don’t wanna wake up
Turn off the stars or they’ll start to blind us
I MELT INTO YOU, MELT INTO YOU
You melt into me, melt into me
And I won’t ever let you go
I can’t let you go
So turn off the stars or they’ll start to blind us
Just leave it behind us

EVERY HEART

(Sara Haze / James T. Slater)

A summer sunburn
The smile you earned
Stumbles and falls
The lessons you’ve learned
Choices you’ve made
Your first heartbreak
Getting too old for the batman cape
Simpler times
Wanting to fly
Mesmerized by Christmas lights
Holding out
Giving in
All the what ifs and might have beens

EVERY HEART has a story to tell
Some dreams have wings, some are torn at the seams
and just sit there on the shelf
If you were to walk in my shoes
You’d see we are all the same
So find the love inside yourself
Cause EVERY HEART has a story to tell

A starburst rush
Your first real crush
Your bit by a dog a yellow school bus
Sweet 16
That concert you missed
Your best friend and your first kiss
Learning to fall
Wanting it all
Believing in Santa Claus
A letter you wrote
A promise you broke
Knowing when to say yes and when to say no

So far away
Life can take you
Never forget
The hearts that shaped you

The love of your life
The fourth of July
The times that you laughed so hard you cried
The first day of ballet
Hardships you faced
All the memories along the way
It’s the love you lost
The love you made
Makes us who we are today

COUNTERFEIT HALO

(Sara Haze / Brad Crisler / Eric Fraley)

l thought I was so damn smart
Must've had a bullseye on my heart
But you can bet I'll know better next time

I thought you were heaven sent
I thought you had the best intentions

But it was only a facade and now I know

So I guess it's crash and learn
Everybody has their turn to love and burn
So baby don't change a thing
You can keep your dime store wings
And that COUNTERFEIT HALO

Well you should have a Golden Globe
and take an Academy Award home
You're self-directed self-produced and self-cast in the starring role

But that hero smile can't hide your villain eyes anymore

So I guess it's crash and learn
Everybody has their turn to love and burn
So baby don't change a thing
You can keep your dime store wings
And that COUNTERFEIT HALO

Running, Flying, Falling, Silent, Screaming, Calling, Mending, Breaking, Still Alive

So I guess it's crash and learn
Everybody has their turn to love and burn

So I guess it's crash and learn
Everybody has their turn to love and burn
So baby don't change a thing
You can keep your dime store wings
And that COUNTERFEIT HALO

COLD IN CALIFORNIA

(Sara Haze / Eric Fraley / Jennifer Kennard)

There’s no ice on the ocean
As the waves crash on my feet
No chill in the atmosphere
Like you said there’d be
No frozen highway
Don’t need the chains you left for me
Cuz there’s no truth in your forecast
About the day that you would leave
Cuz It’s never COLD IN CALIFORNIA
There’s always someone here
To tell you that they love you
When others disappear
It’s never COLD IN CALIFORNIA
Cause I’m still here -
I’m still here
I don’t need a weatherman
To warn me of the storm
Cuz I felt it growing closer
In the calm right before
And as the clouds are filling up the sky
The rain feels warm to me
Cuz It’s never COLD IN CALIFORNIA
There’s always someone here
To tell you that they love you
When others disappear
It’s never COLD IN CALIFORNIA
Cause I’m still here
I’m still here
If the seasons pass
And nothing lasts
And your world turns dark and blue
Know the sun is always shining here for you
Cuz It’s never COLD IN CALIFORNIA
There’s always someone here
To tell you that they love you
When others disappear
It’s never COLD IN CALIFORNIA
There’s always someone here
To tell you that they love you
And I won’t disappear
It’s never COLD IN CALIFORNIA
Cause I’m still here
I’m still here
I’m still here

LOVELY

(Sara Haze)

I don't wanna be her
I just wanna be little old me
I shouldn't have to think
Who am I supposed to be today
And what gave you the right
To tell me who I should be
Who gave you that right

Cuz, I feel LOVELY just the way that I am
Yes, I feel LOVELY the way that I am

I know you want the best
Yeah only good things for me
But you have to realize
I can't be all these things you project on me
Cuz I'm beautiful to me
Doesn't that mean a thing?

I feel LOVELY just the way that I am
Yes I, I feel LOVELY the way that I am

I need that to be enough for you
I need that to be enough for you
Cuz it's enough for me
It's enough for me

Am I supposed to give up everything I am
Just to make you happy?
I thought I was the one you always wanted me to be
It turns out
I'm just little old me
I'm just little old me
And that's fine by me

Cuz I, I am LOVELY just the way that I am
Oh yes I am
Yes I, I am LOVELY the way that I am

I am LOVELY, LOVELY
I am LOVELY

SHINE

(Sara Haze)

Do you ever feel like the sky's falling down all around you
Stars won't shine cuz things ain't right with the man in the moon
Do you ever feel like the world's slipping right through your hands
And all you ever wanted to do
Was climb up on the roof and

SHINE
Even though the stars aren't smiling on me tonight
I won't let the darkness steal my light
Cuz the sun and I are gonna part the clouds in the sky
And SHINE
And it won't rain no more on me
It won't rain no more on me

Do you ever take the time to take off your shoes
Walk barefoot through the grass?
It's a simple gift when everything is moving so fast
And all I ask
Let's make a toast, fill up my glass with life and hope
And give me one good reason
Give me one good reason to

They say in each life a little rain must fall
But I will carry on and make it through it all
They say in each life a little rain must fall
But I will carry on and make it through it all and

SHINE
Even though the stars aren't smiling on me tonight
I won't let the darkness steal the sunshine
Dim the spotlight on my life
Cuz the sun's always been a friend of mine
And he and I are gonna part the clouds in the sky
And SHINE SHINE SHINE
And it won't rain no more on me
It won't rain no more on me
It won't rain no more on me
Not on me

THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME

(Sara Haze / James T. Slater)

So here we go again – same situation
And I can’t drown in your drama no more
Let me make it clear – just read my lips
This ain’t what I’m looking for
So take it away – I don’t wanna see the damage
Oh no not today – I got better things to do
I’ll sleep in peace – cuz my conscience is clear
While you’re dirty past catches up with you
So what did you think – I was too stupid to notice?
It’s over now – it don’t matter no more
On your way out you can take your dirty laundry
I’ll keep my dignity
Cuz THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME
THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME
I was raised to be strong – created in the image
Of a woman who knows how to stand on her own
Baby I deserve better than this
If you dim my flame I’d rather be alone
I won’t bow my head - or give into your religion
I will burn bright - cuz I’m made that way
If I let you get away - with treating me less than a lady
What would my mama say?
So what did you think – I was too stupid to notice?
It’s over now – it don’t matter no more
On your way out you can take your dirty laundry
I’ll keep my dignity
Cuz that’s THE WAY MY MAMA MADE
THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME
I was taught to love myself
Accept nothing else
And you won’t get the best of me
No you won’t get the best of me
So what did you think – I was too stupid to notice?
It’s over now – it don’t matter no more
On your way out you can take your dirty laundry
I’ll keep my dignity
Cuz that’s THE WAY MY MAMA MADE
THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE
THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME

THE BORDER

(Sara Haze / Eric Fraley)

Gotta get away from THE BORDER
There’s too many memories here
And all the things that I used to love
Became everything I fear

And I wanna recognize
But I just don’t think it’s you
Cuz every time I look into your eyes
I swear I can see right through

So I run and I run
Just to find I’m standing still
Cuz I’m trying to move
Without breaking any shells
And I’m frozen in this state
Trying not to cross the line
But I guess it’s just a matter of time
Till I cross THE BORDER line

The water tastes like poison
The air’s so hard to breathe
And the skin I’m in is starting to drive me crazy
I gotta get away from me

Time till I can finally breathe
Go whereever my heart leads
Get to know myself again
Learn to be my own best friend
Left this weight up off my shoulders
And finally be free

But I run and I run
Just to find I’m standing still
Cuz I’m trying to move
Without breaking any shells
And I’m frozen in this state
Trying not to cross the line

I run and I run
Just to find I’m standing still
Cuz I’m trying to move
Without breaking any shells
And I’m frozen in this state
Trying not to cross the line
But I guess it’s just a matter of time
It’s a matter of time
Until I cross THE BORDER line
It’s a matter of time

MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES

(Sara Haze / Eric Fraley / James T. Slater)

Standing on the corner of hope and despair
Where promises disappear like smoke in the thin air
Angels walk on crutches past people on their knees
Where salvation is nothing but just a distant dream
Walking on through a park of poisoned hungry veins
Passing a cathedral a voice cries “Jesus Saves”
Where father’s eyes and alibis litter broken streets
Maybe when you’re poor as dirt all you have are dreams
False hopes pour down like a hard november rain
But still the sun shines through when they sing
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Salvation’s only casualty is me
In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
Through the pain, pride and shame somehow love remains
Maybe souls are just like glass more beautiful when stained
Like flowers grow through cracks in the walls trying to reach the sun
A baby’s born and lives to learn that we can rise above
We can rise above
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Suddenly salvation’s all I see
In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
Oh I’m down on my knees
Begging someone please
I’m down on my knees
In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
Standing on the corner of possibilities
With a coffee cup half filled up and a pocket full of dreams
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Suddenly salvation’s all around me
In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
