ALREADY THERE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Wherever you go, I will be there
Wherever you are, I’m already there
Whenever you call
Before you fall
Before you can ask,
Before your past
You were already in my plan
If you were to rest in a secret place
Where no one could find your hideaway
I’d be your night
Light for your day
In your solitude
I am with you
Before your journey began
I’m already there whenever you call me
I’m there before you call me
I’m already there whenever you call me
I’m there before you call me
I am the IS who was to be
Among the oracle wise, they spoke of me
From age to age
In the stillness of time
The dark about me
No one can find
Because I have not disclosed it to man
I’m already there whenever you call me
I’m there before you call me
I’m already there whenever you call me
I’m there before you call me

BAD FREQUENCY
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
I miss (mix) your signs
You talk to me in double tongue
You tell me one thing
And follow with another one
I can’t rely on
Anything I understand
I keep on hearing
Frequencies in different bands
Why should we create these vibes?
Talking past each other’s minds
Sometimes I say things
In hopes to amuse you
Distorted kilohertz
They instead confuse you
You can’t depend on
Everything you hear or see
Because it’s wrapped in
Levels of bad frequency
Why should we create these vibes?
Talking past each other’s minds
Do you hear me now?
Do you get it now?
Should I say it loud?
What about now?
Maybe I can talk to you
And you can respond to me
I just hope we understand
Even through bad frequency
Maybe I can talk to you
And you can respond to me
I just hope we understand
Even through bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
Maybe I can talk to you
And you can respond to me
I just hope we understand
Even through bad frequency
Maybe I can talk to you
And you can respond to me
I just hope we understand
Even through bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency

BETRAYER
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
They call you the betrayer
As if you’re the only one
But someone else knows what you did
Was what had to be done
They say you were an evil man;
Your actions proved it true
Chosen for that dreadful role
That you were born to do
It would have been someone else
had it not been you
Probably would have done the same
If I had your shoes
I’d curse the day that I was born
A life I did not choose (did not choose)
How could you know that you would be
In this eternal plan
A tool to name in infamy
In war for soul of man
It would have been someone else
had it not been you
We curse your name with our last breath
The one to blame for the Lord’s death
Who loved a world, which he did frame
His honor replaced and reduced to shame
And if I had your lot and His fate were sealed
My run would seem eternal to Potter’s field
I could not bear the weight, I would agonize
And wonder how could I live this (dreadful) life
That someone could have been me.
Dreadful life(Dreadful life)
That someone could have been me
Dreadful life
Could have been me had it not been you
They call you the betrayer
As if you’re the only one
But someone else knows what you did
Was what had to be done
They say you were an evil man;
Your actions proved it true
Chosen for that dreadful role
That you were born to do
It would have been someone else
had it not been you
I probably would have done the same
If I had your shoes
I’d curse the day that I was born
A life I did not choose (choose)
How could you know that you would be
In this eternal plan
A tool to name in infamy
In war for soul of man
It would have been someone else
had it not been you
It would have been someone else
had it not been you (Betrayer, Betrayer, Betrayer)
It would have been someone else
had it not been you (Betrayer, Betrayer, Betrayer)
It would have been me
had it not been you (Betrayer, Betrayer)

BOARDWALK
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Lay a wooden path
Beneath the arches of my feet
Let it run above
The raging waters of the sea
I cover endless road
Whenever I take a short walk
Mark my tears along
The splintered boardwalk as they fall
There’s a place where I can go
Bearing everything I know
I send my hopes about as high
Under the cotton candy sky
Meet me here alone
Where none can hear you comfort me
Over clash of stone
You weigh my voice a heavy plea
On wooden planks of coffee
Stroll along and make small talk
Strangers passing by
Keep my course on this boardwalk
You’ve been here for quite some time
Washed away by rising tide
Keep returning to these shores
Till I see you fade no more
Where birds fly free
Waters run deep
Take me to the boardwalk
Never to soon
To come meet you
Headed to the boardwalk
Watch the sun set
Right where we met
Take me to the boardwalk
Though time will show
Your weary road
I’ll be on the boardwalk
Really doesn’t matter who comes or goes
I’ll be here when no one shows
At the boardwalk; at the boardwalk
Wherever I go, you’ll be on my mind
Think about how we shared our time
At the boardwalk; at the boardwalk
Wherever I am, you will always be
Steady boardwalk beneath my feet
At the boardwalk; at the boardwalk

COLOR OF THE WIND
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
To many eyes, I may seem strange
To more or less, I am taboo
To very few, I may not change
I wonder how I look to you
Do you see the scars that are on my face?
What about the smile that isn’t straight
Can you tell my heart’s in a lonely place
In need of strength in its current state
Make me the color of the wind
Where eyes won’t see my many flaws again
Hide my hurts and where I’ve been
Then I won’t have to pretend
My words may be better received
If I become what they can’t see
Make my voice the sound of breeze
So they won’t know it comes from me
Do you think that I could be something else?
Imperceptible… and no one can tell
Catching falling hearts that my hands upheld
Cause my only place is for someone’s help
Make me the color of the wind
Where eyes won’t see my many flaws again
Hide my hurts and where I’ve been
Then I won’t have to pretend
I’ll meet the sun upon a flower
And see a perfect bloom
When I blend with a summer’s shower
A mended heart’s perfume
I’ll see the moon
set on the waters
And cast a twilight glow
And the gleam of the stars will follow

HEARTS OF STONE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Notice the callous strong,
making his mark and so
Preys on the weakest one,
takes every path he knows
Rock beneath what’s shown
Is the man who’s undisclosed
Walking among the crowd,
blending with everyone
Befriending the man in need,
deprive him of everything
He pretends to be
Co-ops your reality
Every time he sees you
He repeats the same
Confirms his state of grim
He confines his life to shame
Every time he sees you
He repeats the same
Confirms his state of grim
He confines his life to shame
Break up hearts of stone
Chip away at the pieces
Bring down the high places
Break up hearts of stone
Chip away at the pieces
Bring down the high places
Reject anyone who comes
with lie on the tip of tongue
Speaking the things untrue;
ways to distort your view
Hold your position,
You have every reason to
Beware of the selfish who
alters his way with you
Looks for someone to fool,
deception’s his favorite tool
He will never show
That his heart is made of stone
Every time he sees you
He repeats the same
Confirms his state of grim
He confines his life to shame
Every time he sees you
He repeats the same
Confirms his state of grim
He confines his life to shame
Break up hearts of stone
Chip away at the pieces
Bring down the high places
Break up hearts of stone
Chip away at the pieces
Bring down the high places

I WANNA COME HOME
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
It was abrupt,
I remember the day clearly
Dropped my head,
Walked until nothing I knew was near me
Forged ahead to make a new way
Looking to fill a void, no reason to stay
Been here a while,
waiting my heart’s mending
To reflect, a life that
I’ve come to regret and yet
What I thought wasn’t right is the love that I
Never thought would be mine
Unresolved,
left some loose ends behind me
Thought I knew,
some things I just accepted blindly
Need to go back, miss what we had
Marking our days ahead, so many plans
I’ve come to find,
made a mistake in leaving
You alone,
please show me a way to return back home
Where my heart confides and my secrets lie
Revealed in your eyes
Where can I find you to stand beside you?
Wonder how that would be
And if when I call you fail to answer
What’s to become of me?
How do I get back to you?
Which road would lead to the truth?
Show me how to get back to you
Show me how to get back to you
Show me how to get back to you
Tell me what I need to do (anticipating)
Gotta find my way
I just wanna come home
I’ve been gone too long
I just wanna come home
Where can I find you to stand beside you?
Wonder how that would be
And if when I call you fail to answer
What’s to become of me?
How do I get back to you?
Which road would lead to the truth?
Show me how to get back to you
Show me how to get back to you
Show me how to get back to you
Tell me what I need to do
Gotta find my way
I just wanna come home
I’ve been gone too long
I just wanna come home

INK DRY BLUE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Got a note to give you
I’m not really done
Only writing pieces
A letter just for fun
Words are somewhat simple
It’s taking me a while
To write firm or fickle
Thoughts to make you smile
Put a word on paper
It’s already gone
Scribbled in the air; can’t
See it in the sun
Have to start all over
Letters fly away
Windy days will take them
Messages will fade
Put a word on paper
Let the ink dry blue
Send it with a header
I’ll know it comes from you
If you want to
You can write me back
We can just be pen pals
Tell me how you like that
Put it in a bottle
Throw it in the sea
I’ll wait by the water
It’ll get to me
And if you think your letter
Will be held up in the deep
Make your message shorter
So the weight won’t make it sink
Give it time to get here
Longer than a day
Time will travel faster
If you have less to say
Put a word on paper
Let the ink dry blue
Send it with a header
I’ll know it comes from you
Write it on paper
Shade of darker blue
Keeps the word from fading
Let the ink dry blue
I’ll be waiting still
When the message comes
In a bottle filled
With the morning sum
I’ll be waiting still
I’ll be waiting still
I’ll be waiting still
I’ll be waiting still
Put it in a bottle
Throw it in the sea
I’ll wait be the water
It’ll get to me
Shade of darker hue
Let the ink dry blue

MY FACE AGAIN
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
My life is still in session
And I haven’t time to waste
So I’m keeping my momentum
As I move from place to place
Events have changed my course
To a path that’s been derailed
A road that long divorced
My triumph from my fails
Life will take us on a spin
When we come back from where we’ve been
You will hear my voice and then
You will see my face again
Days have gone between
Interesting what we’ve become
More than what we dreamed
When we thought we were not strong
Looking back it all appears
That this end was not so far
Yet we still have miles from here
A long way from where we are
Life will take us on a spin
When we come back from where we’ve been
You will hear my voice and then
You will see my face again
Life will take us on a spin
When we come back from where we’ve been
You will hear my voice and then
You will see my face again

ONE BY ONE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
One by One.
Two by Two.
Sometimes (how can) we win?
Sometimes (how can) we lose?
How can we say humanity belongs to us?
When we destroy what God gave us?
Day by Day,
Count up the cost
The lives we’ve kept,
The ones we’ve lost
How can we say humanity belongs to us?
When we destroy what God gave us?
You make the choice to be the one
To hold your brother in your arms
To wipe his tears and calm his fears
To make him strong and right his wrong
One by one, one by one
One by one
Our mighty fall
A weakened arm will hold no more
And none will come around
In time to take their place
The precious life that held their space
The time will come soon or late
And we may have to contemplate
We’ll give account,
For all our days are past in golden frames
The things we’ve done,
The lives we’ve changed
You make the choice to be the one
To hold you brother in your arms
To wipe his tears and calm his fears
To make him strong and right his wrong
One by one, one by one
You make the choice to keep him safe
To guard his life with yours in place
And One by One we all become
The ones who lose the battles won
One by one, one by one

PACTS WE MAKE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Remember the plans we made yesterday?
We promised to let them be
Should you get there before I do
You promised to wait for me
Don't cross that bridge till I get there...
Till I get there, wait for me
Don't take a chance, let's be prepared.
So till I get there, wait for me
Should fate decide to turn things around,
I hope to still be true
God only knows the intent of my heart
I plan to wait for you
We'll cross that bridge when I get there...
When I get there, that’s what we'll do
We'll keep our pact and say our prayer.
Though we be two, we'll see it through
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate
These are the pacts we make
We promised to let them be
These are the pacts we make
I’ll wait for you, you wait for me
These are the pacts we make
Should things take a turn, I hope to be true
These are the pacts we make
God knows I plan to wait for you
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate

PURSUIT
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Everyday I’d buy myself
more time if I only could
Push time back a little further,
stand on line beyond the point I should
Steady hand, a little stronger
Maybe it won’t be much longer
Before something I embrace,
Is the thing that I replace
In pursuit of all the dreams
That seem so far away from me, God knows
Make concessions as I go;
And deny what’s fair to me, it shows
Keep the truth, release the lies
Pray my tears will dry my eyes
So that I can see the shades
Right before they fade
If I decide to take a dare
and I lose,
Who’s to say that I have failed
in my pursuit?
If I decide to take a dare
and I lose,
Who’s to say that I have failed
in my pursuit?
Time again I think about
The chances that I chose to take
Notwithstanding compromise,
In retrospect, it’s my mistake
Walk away from what I do
Sometimes to win, I’ve gotta lose
So that I can stay above
Make due with just enough
I’ll keep true to my pursuit,
Even if I take a slower pace
A steady slow is what I know
Will lead me closer to another place
Step by step I’ll move along
Every trace I leave is gone
What else is there to find
I leave nothing behind
If I decide to take a dare
and I lose
Who’s to say that I have failed
in my pursuit?
If I decide to take a dare
and I lose
Who’s to say that I have failed
in my pursuit?

REACHING
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
I keep reaching out to you
Even though you’re nowhere near
I’m holding on to what I knew
Hoping you will meet me here
Will I see you? No one knows
It makes it hard to find you when
I come and go to not impose
And time moves on from now to then
So I’m keeping my heart open for you
And I’ll be dreaming of a life that will be true
If I could find you…
I close my eyes and in my mind
You’re always here to no surprise
But is this real or just a show
Tell me how and where to go (to come and go)
No sign that you will come today
I trust that maybe somehow still
We’ll meet somewhere between halfway
But where and how I cannot tell
I’ll keep reaching for what belongs to me
In a world of impossibilities
I will find you…
Searching through realities,
Endless dreams and vanities
Wandering through empty schemes
Making you my daily theme
One thing I intend to do
Is somehow make my way to you
Even if it takes forever
You’re the one I will pursue
I’ll keep reaching for what belongs to me
In a world of impossibilities
I will find you…

WHAT ABOUT WE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Sometimes I close my blinds,
Open my eyes to see the light
What’s day from night,
What’s wrong from right?
Then I try to contemplate all of the reasons
The world is just falling to pieces
So hard to conceive
I refuse to believe we’ll let evil destroy us
When before us we’ve got nothing but love
What about you? What about me?
What about “we the people”?
United we stand, divided we fall
What about peace? What about war?
What about now? What about before?
What about the future
and what it has in store for us?
Sometimes I search myself
And pray for help when each morning starts
I refuse to judge someone else;
Only God knows what’s in our hearts.
Why must we…
Always hate and discriminate
And keep tearing each one apart
You know things have got to change
And it’s not too late for us to start
What about you?
What about you? What about me?
What about “we the people”?
United we stand, divided we fall
What about peace? What about war?
What about now? What about before?
What about the future
and what it has in store for us?
You can start with me
Cast a beam out of my eye
What about you? What about me?
What about “we the people”?
United we stand, divided we fall
What about peace? What about war?
What about now? What about before?
What about the future
and what it has in store for us?
You can start with me.
Cast the beam out of my eye.
I eeeey Ieeeeey I yaaaahhh (4x)
What about you? What about me?
What about “we the people”?
United we stand, divided we fall
What about peace? What about war?
What about now? What about before?
What about the future
and what it has in store for us?
What about “we the people, we the people”?

WHAT, HOW, WHY, WHEN
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
What, how, why, when
Who, where does it (all) fit in?
I can’t figure out
What this is all about
Tell me what makes the world go round
And everything that’s up, come down
What frames the time into a day
And makes the clock then tick away
How does the ocean steadily run?
And slowly hides a descending sun
How do the rays know when to leave?
Dimming the light at the brink of eve
What makes the world go round
Spinning around and round
Keeping all things we need
Centered by gravity
Why does my shadow follow behind?
Casting itself as a form defined
What makes my mind forget a thing?
And bring it back to memory
What courage does a brave man have?
Throwing his rock and hiding his hand
How is it easy for him to deny
Who can know the what, how, and why?
What makes the world go round
Spinning around and round
Keeping all things we need
Centered by gravity
What, how, why, when
Who, where does it (all) fit in?
I can’t figure out
What this is all about

WHOLE WORLD
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
What would you say if I
Gave you the whole world for a day
Who would you love?
Who would you save?
What would you say to me should I
Ask you to shelter your enemy
From the cold
And from the rain
Bear the weight of another
When there’s nothing to gain
The world has treasures new
But nothing belongs to you
How do I know that you will
Keep the promises you tell?
Should I then trust that you can
Lead this whole world?
Tell me which hearts to mend should you
Carry the world’s burdens in your hand
Would it be some?
Or maybe just one
If I left you alone could you
Protect the weaker man from the strong
Who would you right?
From those who were wrong?
Bear the weight of another
When there’s nothing to gain
The world has treasures new
But nothing belongs to you
How do I know that you will
Keep the promises you tell?
Should I then trust that you can
Lift this whole world?
And if dark shadows follow
Can you brighten tomorrow?
Should I then trust that you could
Lead this whole world?

DON’T HINDER ME
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
I suppose I’d better let you know
I feel something stirring in my soul
I know I’m sitting here all composed
But you’d better know when the Holy Ghost shows
I’m liable to hit the floor
When I think about the wonders He’s performed in my life
I could break down and cry
So when I wave my hands you may not understand
That I’ve been through a circumstance
And I’ve got a praise in advance
I don’t know about you or what you’ve come to do
But please don’t hinder me
I don’t mind your company
If you’ve got praise for the King
Let’s get together and send it up
And I suppose I’d better let you know
I’m filled with the Holy Ghost
I’m a tongue talking Holy Roller
And if that’s just too much for you
I’d better be the one to break the news
I’m a hand clapping, foot stomper
When I think about the wonders He’s performed in my life
I could break down and cry at almost anytime
So when I wave my hands you may not understand
That I’ve been through a circumstance
Got a praise in advance
I don’t know about you or what you’ve come to do
But please don’t hinder me
I don’t mind your company
If you’ve got praise for the King
Let’s get together and send it up

ENGAGED
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
I’m engaged in the craze,
been doing it like this for days
Ain’t no way I’m going to let up
I’m going to get up every time I hear your name
No matter where I am,
If I have to send a telegram
I’ll find a way to deliver
That’s (just) how convinced I am
I hear you. You hear me. We agree.
I have vowed to give my best
Don’t want to give you nothing less
If the test requires the same
Reservations under my name
I’ve been giving my props to you
We know this ain’t nothing new
I’ll admit every now and then
I’ve gotta cut a fresh step for you
I hear you. You hear me. We agree.
Ain’t no questions about what I’m going to do
It’s my time to give up my all to you
Ain’t no questions about what I’m going to do
It’s my time to give up my all to you
I hear you. You hear me. Glad to know we agree.
I’m engaged. This is the thing
I will admit it; I’m all wrapped up in it
I’m engaged. This is the thing
I’m actively committed. I’m all wrapped up in it
I’m engaged. This is the thing
I will admit it; I’m all wrapped up in it
I’m engaged. This is the thing
I’m actively committed. I’m all wrapped up in it
I’m engaged. This is the thing

HEARTBROKEN
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
When I found I’d hurt you, I was heartbroken
Lord, this is true; I didn’t know how to come to you
Could it have been my pride, that darkness in my life?
I felt something way inside and I know I had to get it right
The first thing that I’ll do is make amends with you
Didn’t mean to hurt you that way
The day I walked away from you
Left you standing alone, it was shivering cold
Now I want to come back home
I wanna make it better, make it up to you
Tell me where you’re gonna be, I’ll be there real soon
I know I’ve burned my bridge by all those things I did
I beg you to forgive
You’re the only way for me to live
The first thing that I’ll do is make amends with you
Didn’t mean to hurt you that way
The day I walked away from you
Left you standing alone, it was shivering cold
Now I want to come back home
I can’t even front about my history
I can’t seem to understand your love for me
Tell me why you think that I (even) deserve to be
And why do you always extend yourself to me?
The first thing that I’ll do is make amends with you
Didn’t mean to hurt you that way
The day I walked away from you
Left you standing alone, it was shivering cold
Now I want to come back home
So heartbroken
It’s a shame the way I’ve broken your heart, shame on me
I couldn’t blame you if you didn’t love me at all
It’s a shame the way I’ve broken your heart,
I couldn’t blame you if you didn’t love me at all
I am heartbroken
When I found I hurt you
Heartbroken
Just didn’t know what else to do
Heartbroken
I cried, I cried, I hurt inside
Heartbroken
Can’t you see that I’m trying to make it right?
It’s a shame the way I’ve broken your heart, shame on me
I couldn’t blame you if you didn’t love me at all
It’s a shame the way I’ve broken your heart, couldn’t blame you
I couldn’t blame you if you didn’t love me at all
I was so heartbroken
When I found I hurt you
Heartbroken
Just didn’t know what else to do
Heartbroken
I cried, I cried, I hurt inside
Heartbroken
Can’t you see that I’m trying to make it up to you?

HE’LL HOLD YOU
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
If you want Him just ask Him, He’ll hold you
When you can’t find your way He’ll come to you
He’s the best kept secret if you only knew
How sweet it is when He holds you
My friend I know sometimes we lose control of our lives
And it seems like our dreams all go crumbling (down, down)
You think you’re walking in the light with all you see before your eyes
It’s just like walking in the night where you keep stumbling
You just want some peace and you seek a bit of relief
Your boat’s rowing down the stream but not so gently
Row, row, row your boat
It’s the middle of the week and you still can’t get no sleep
I know exactly what you need
He’s the only way to get some peace,
if you want Him, just ask Him
If you want Him, just ask Him, He’ll hold you
When you can’t find you way He’ll come to you
He’s the best kept secret, if you only knew
How very sweet it is when He holds you
I’ve been where you are and I scrolled out my memoirs
And I sent it in a jar across the ocean
It was to symbolize all the turmoil in my life
And I used my pain to set my prayer in motion
It was definitely grace elevating all of my faith
I felt such a warm embrace in this experience
Heaviness lightened up with ease, suddenly I now could breathe
And I know that this is only because of His presence,
so if you want Him, just ask Him
If you want Him, just ask Him, He’ll hold you
When you can’t find you way He’ll come to you
He’s the best kept secret, if you only knew
How very sweet it is when He holds you
If you don’t mind, He might come tonight
Everything will be alright
Things may not change the way you’d like
At least you’ll have some peace of mind
If you don’t mind, He might come tonight
Everything will be alright
Things may not change the way you’d like
At least you’ll have some peace of mind
If you don’t mind, He might come tonight
Everything will be alright
Things may not change the way you’d like
But at least you’ll have some peace of mind
If you don’t mind, He might come tonight
Everything will be alright
Things may not change the way you’d like
At least you’ll have some peace of mind
If you don’t mind, He might come tonight
Everything will be alright
Things may not change the way you’d like
At least you’ll have some peace of mind
When he holds you

I’M STILL STANDING
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
I know you ain’t seen me lately
I bet you thought you drove me crazy
The last time you saw me I ran for cover
And you assumed it was all over
I’m still standing, I’m still standing yeah
I’m still standing, I ain’t going no where
I know you thought you saw the end of me
But God, He just would not let it be
Intervening before the attack
(He) refused to let me go down like that
I’m still standing; hit me with your best shot
I’m still standing
I’m still standing, all you got
I’m still standing
I’m still standing; hit me with your best shot
I ain’t going no where, I ain’t going no where
I ain’t going no where, all you got
I know you don’t wanna hear my voice
I’m sure you didn’t expect to see me no more
I remind you of how cruel you be
I never gave you a reason to rail on me
I’m still standing, I’m still standing yeah
I’m still standing; I know you didn’t wanna see me no more
I’m still standing, I’m still standing
I ain’t going no where, I ain’t going no where
There’s one (up) above who’s Almighty
(He) kick me down with all the strength I need
So do what you want to do to try and work me
Nothing you can do to harm me
I’m still standing; hit me with your best shot
I’m still standing, all you got
I know you didn’t wanna see me no more
I’m still standing; hit me with your best shot
I ain’t going no where
I ain’t going no where, all you got
Pressure made me go the round
And it almost took me down
Making move I didn’t plan
Throwing blows I couldn’t land
But I had to hold my frame
Got some strength when I heard my name
Focused on what really counts
At the end I stand my ground
I’m still standing, I’m still standing
Got all the strength I need
I’m still standing, yeah yeah
I’m still standing, I ain’t going no where
Pressure made me go the round
And it almost took me down
Making move I didn’t plan
Throwing blows I couldn’t land
But I had to hold my frame
Got some strength when I heard my name
Focused on what really counts
At the end I stand my ground
I’m still standing
I’m still standing; hit me with your best shot
Here I am, I’m still standing
I’m still standing, all you got
I know you don’t wanna see me
I’m still standing; hit me with your best shot
I ain’t going no where, I ain’t going no where
I know you thought you saw the end of me
I’m still standing; hit me with your best shot
I know you didn’t wanna see me know more
I’m still standing, all you got
I ain’t going no where
I’m still standing; hit me with your best shot
I ain’t going no where, I ain’t going no where
I ain’t going no where, all you got

IMPRESSIONS
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Every time I wake each morning
Just to see a brand new day
I lift up my heart and remind myself
To forever give my Father all the thanks
I witness all nature calling
As the winter leaves are falling
Before they touch the ground reminds me
Of my spirit floating on a cloud
These impressions, they remind me of
The day I tasted Heaven’s glory
Light upon me as a gentile dove
It was both sweet and divine
It felt like the morning’s dew
Descending upon me anew
Sealed within my soul a song of love
One that I’d never learned, and since not have heard
Ohhh
Everytime I wake each morning
Just to see a brand new day
I lift up my heart and remind myself
To forever give my Father all the thanks
These impressions, they remind me of
The day I tasted Heaven’s glory
Light upon me as a gentile dove
It was both sweet and divine
It felt like the morning’s dew
Descending upon me anew
Sealed within my soul a song of love
One that I’d never learned, and since not have heard
Ohhh
I witness all nature calling

Before they touch the ground reminds me
Of my spirit floating on a cloud

LATELY
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Ordinarily you could tell me almost anything, anything
I'd embrace the world without ever even questioning,
But I tell you lately I've changed my view of the world
Lately the darkness has been unveiled
Lately I am not the ordinary me
Lately I've been seeking a deeper life
Lately I've been walking in the Light
Maybe, maybe there is something wrong with me
Lately
Could I possibly be moving into a brand new day,
I've been wondering if this just a seasonal display
But I tell you lately I just have not been myself
Lately I've been feeling like someone else
Lately I am not the ordinary me
Lately I've been feeling kind of strange
Lately going through some kind of change
Maybe, maybe there's something wrong with me
Who said something's wrong with you?
(I think something’s wrong with me)
Maybe you're just growing new
Could be everything's alright
All good things, they come in time
Maybe this is reverie,
Things may not be what they seem,
But if it's my imagination,
Then nothing's really wrong with me
Lately I have changed my view of the world
Lately the darkness has been unveiled
Lately I am not the ordinary me
Lately I've been seeking a deeper life
Lately I've been walking in the Light
Maybe I can't describe this feeling;
But I won't deny its being;
You see, it's settling deep inside me;
Speaking to me as I sleep
Someone must be praying for me
Two or three they touch and agree
I say they've really got it working (really got it working)
Cause something's got a hold on me (hold on me)
Lately I just have not been myself
Lately I've been feeling like someone else
Lately I am not the ordinary me
Lately I've been feeling kind of strange
Lately going through some kind of change
Maybe, maybe there's something wrong with me
I tell you lately something’s wrong
Lately I have changed my view of the world
Lately the darkness has been unveiled
Lately I am not the ordinary me
Lately I've been seeking a deeper life
Lately I've been walking in the Light

LOGICAL INFERENCE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
You say you have it all together
And everything’s going your way
You say that nothing’s bothering you
But you’re just camouflaging your pain
Everyday there’s a struggle
And you’re wondering if you should let it go
Because faking ain’t easy
When you’re breaking into pieces
You say you have it all together
And everything’s going your way
You say that nothing’s bothering you
But you’re just camouflaging your pain
You’re smiling and you’re gracious
You’re crying in private places
Feeling fair weathered
Trying to hold it together
But based on logical inference
Nothing is what it seems
Your life is much different
The hurt of a broken dream
Based on logical inference
In spite of what you say
Your life is much different
Than the one that you portray
You say you have it all together
And everything’s going your way
You say that nothing’s bothering you
But you’re just camouflaging your pain
Everyday there’s a struggle
And you’re wondering if you should let it go
Because faking ain’t easy
When you’re breaking into pieces
You say you have it all together
And everything’s going your way
You say that nothing’s bothering you
But you’re just camouflaging your pain
You’re smiling and you’re gracious
You’re crying in private places
Feeling fair weathered
Trying to hold it together
But based on logical inference
Nothing is what it seems
Your life is much different
The hurt of a broken dream
Based on logical inference
In spite of what you say
Your life is much different
Than the one that you portray
Remember all that glitters may not be gold
Your life is a story to be told
And if you think nobody sees you
You’re sadly mistaken, you’ve just deceived you
All that glitters may not be gold
Your life is a story to be told
And if you think nobody sees you
You’re sadly mistaken, you’ve just deceived you

With all my heart I’m loving you, you’re loving me too
Yes this is true. Yes it’s true
All that we do is between me and you
I’ll keep loving you
And everyday I’m trusting you for all that you do
Yes this is true. Yes it’s true

There is a love so strong it keeps me holding on
I believe you always knew that I can’t live without you
Yes this is true. Yes it’s true
I’d toss in my sleep, cry endlessly
If you couldn’t be with me
It’s beyond me to repay you, I will serenade you
Yes this is true. Yes it’s true
This song’s for you. It belongs to you
I’ll be loving you
There is a tie that binds so strong that I can’t let it go
There is a love so strong it keeps me holding on
Love divine, Love divine.
I am yours. You are mine.
Forever more. For a lifetime
I’ll be loving you. Loving you
There is a tie that binds so strong that I can’t let it go
There is a love so strong it keeps me holding on

Yes this is true. Yes it’s true
All that we do is between me and you
I’ll keep loving you

NEXT TO YOU
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
I remember late November
Pondering over all of the things in my life
You consoled me, came to hold me,
Showed yourself right and you kept me through the night
Got a bit of déjà vu
Once I got you back into my view
Saw it like a matinee
Didn’t know it was coming that way
Got a bit of déjà vu
Once I got you back into my view
Saw it like a matinee
There’s no one to stand next to you
Nobody can do what you do
You really don’t have nothing else to prove
The things you do, it’s just like you
You stand all by yourself
Can’t be compared to no one else
You’re the first and only last premiere
You’ve got so much savoire-faire
You’re amazing, keep me gazing, }
You’re my admiration and I thing you are so awesome
And you are second to none, never will you be undone
By any other power; you exceed all expectation
Got a bit of déjà vu
Once I got you back into my view
Saw it like a matinee
Didn’t know it was coming that way
Got a bit of déjà vu
Once I got you back into my view
Saw it like a matinee
Didn’t know it was coming that way
Didn’t know what to do cause you caught me by surprise
I’m sure you could tell when you looked into my eyes
Thought I knew you well until now
And I realize, I realized
No one, nobody can do what you do
You really don’t have nothing else to prove
The things you do, just like you
Oh it’s just like you stand
By yourself
Can’t be compared, no one else
You’re the first and only last premiere
You’ve got so much savoire-faire
Next to you, nobody can do what you do
You really don’t have nothing else to prove
The things you do, just like you
Oh it’s just like you stand
By yourself
Can’t be compared, no one else
You’re the first and only last premiere
You’ve got so much savoire-faire
There’s no one next to you
Nobody can do (no one)
Really don’t have nothing else to prove
The things you do, just like you
Oh you stand all by yourself
Can’t be compared, no one else
You’re the first and only last premiere
You’ve got so much savoire-faire
There’s no one next to you

SIDEBAR
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Take me off to the side
Speak to me in the night
And my soul will be silent
For your direction and your guidance
(I’ll) leave the noisy world behind me
In solitude you will find me
Release the stuff inside me
Loose the chains that try to bind me
You know be better than anyone
Ain’t got no facades, here I come
You know the things that I’ve said and done
I have no excuses. No not one
Take me out of the spot;
If I ain’t ready for my lot
You know if I can handle it or not;
Or if I need a Sidebar
This may be so apropos
If I holla please don’t let me go
You know what I do not know
Give me a sidebar to the letter
It might make me cry but I’ll be better
Take me down to the sea;
I’ll hold my breath and then I’ll count to three
After immersion maybe we can tea;
And talk about all that is not right with me
You read me just like an open book
You don’t even have to take a look
All those things I misunderstood
Work together for my higher good
I should have been on the silver screen
Tragedy was a daily scene
Won’t you put me on quarantine,
Or you can roll me up in a magazine
Tell the press be advised
I won’t be wearing no disguise
Truth reflected in my eyes
I’m tryna access paradise
This may be so apropos
If I holla please don’t let me go
You know what I do not know
Your Honor, give me a sidebar to the letter
It might make me cry but I’ll be better
Take me off to the side
Speak to me in the night
And my soul will be silent
For your direction and your guidance
(I’ll) leave the noisy world behind me
In solitude you will find me
Release the stuff inside me
Loose the chains that try to bind me
You know be better than anyone
Ain’t got no facades, here I come
You know the things that I’ve said and done
I have no excuses. No not one
Take me out of the spot;
If I ain’t ready for my lot
You know if I can handle it or not;
Or if I need a Sidebar
Your Honor, give me a sidebar to the letter
It might make me cry but I’ll be better
Take me off to the side

SIMPLE THINGS
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
I’m a simple girl who loves simple things
I have hopes and I have dreams
But what would they mean
If you were not here with me
I ain’t trying to be nobody’s superstar (superstar)
Lord I wanna be right where you are
Tomorrow if you’d take it all away
I’d still be loving you anyway (Still be loving you anyway)
Oh I love these simple things
Because I’m just a simple girl
Oh I love these simple things
Because I’m just a simple girl
It ain’t like I ain’t never been there before (there before)
When there was no open door
And I thanked you all the more
That is what you made me for
I still love the beach and the sounds of waves
I love the park and the trees of shade
It’s the way you cover me
From the heat of the day (You find a way to cover me, cover me)
Oh I love these simple things
Because I’m just a simple girl
Oh I love these simple things
Because I’m just a simple girl

TOO MUCH FOR ME
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Could it be that this world is just a little too much for me
Without you, without you
Does my heart belong somewhere else,
To someone greater than myself
Tender and delicate,
There is no replicate
I sat down by the ocean, Lord I thought of you
Cried with mixed emotions, I was feeling blue
Why does this world keep me so confused?
Why can’t I live the life of a recluse?
Sometimes I wonder where I belong
Feel so removed from what I call home
This present state of humanity
So much calamity
Looked up in the mirror and what did I see
Two big lonely eyes looking back at me
Then I heard a voice within me say
You’re not the only one who feels this way
Does my heart belong somewhere else,
To someone greater that myself
Tender and delicate,
There is no replicate
So I’ll keep my eyes with a view to find
A peaceful place that’s yours and mine
Could it be that this world is just a little too much for me
Without you, without you
Could it be that this world is just a little too much for me
Without you, without you
So I’ll keep my eyes with a view to find
A peaceful place that’s yours and mine
You can take me there, you can take me there
Anytime you want to, you can take me there
I’ll be waiting for you to come and take me there
Anytime you want to, you can take me there
Take me there, you can take me there
Anytime you want to, you can take me there
I’ll be waiting for you to come and take me there
Anytime you want to, you can take me there
Take me there, you can take me there
Anytime you want to, you can take me there
I’ll be waiting for you to come and take me there
Anytime you want to, you can take me there
Take me there, you can take me there
Anytime you want to, you can take me there
I’ll be waiting for you to come and take me there
Anytime you want to, you can take me there

WHAT IF
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
What would I ever do
if I couldn’t spend my time with you?
My world wouldn’t be the same, no
So I’d do anything to be with you
What if I never knew
That you love me quite way that you do? (way you do, way you do)
Had you not shown me so
I guess I would have never known, I would have never known
I can’t fathom this complexed matter
It’s a thing beyond my understanding
It’s a rhapsody of love
I can’t fathom this complexed matter
I guess we’ll talk about it when we get together
Cause we’ve got forever, ain’t no rush
What if you never cared,
left me hanging in the middle of nowhere?
I would just lose my mind Jesus
I would be lost in time, delirious
So I made up in my mind
Thought about it just about a million times
No matter where you are, I’ll find you
I won’t be too far behind you
I can’t fathom this complexed matter
It’s a thing beyond my understanding
It’s just a rhapsody of love
I can’t fathom this complexed matter
I guess we’ll talk about it when we get together
Cause we’ve got forever, ain’t no rush
What would I ever do
if I couldn’t spend my time with you?
My world wouldn’t be the same, no}
So I’d do anything to be with you
What if I never knew
that you love me quite way that you do? (way you do, way you do)
Had you not shown me so
I guess I would have never known, I would have never known
I can’t fathom this complexed matter
It’s a thing beyond my understanding
It’s just a rhapsody of love
I can’t fathom this complexed matter
I guess we’ll talk about it when we get together
Cause we’ve got forever, ain’t no rush
What if you never cared?
Left me hanging in the middle of nowhere?
I would just lose my mind Jesus
I would be lost in time, delirious
Made up in my mind
Thought about it just about a million times
No matter where you are, I’ll find you
I won’t be too far behind you
What if I never knew you?
Couldn’t find my way to you? (I don’t know what I would do)
What if you never cared? (What if you never cared?)
What if you never even loved me?
left me hanging in the middle of nowhere?
I would just lose my mind, I would be lost in time
What if I never knew you? Couldn’t find my way to you?
(I don’t know what I would do without you)

WORRYIN’ ‘BOUT ME
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Ain’t no sense in worryin bout me;
Ain’t no sense in worryin bout me;
What if I vanish tomorrow?
Life still goes on without me
Ain’t no sense in crying over me;
I lived to be all I knew to be
Just keep my words that you borrowed;
Publish them for the whole world to see
What I do with my time
Is work on me, It’s my life
Gotta be sure that I’m right;
Cross my T’s and dot my I’s
And if I miss don’t be confused
I’m not a hypocrite. That ain’t cool
You’ve got an optimist in the room
And all I’m trying to do is tell you
Ain’t no sense in worryin bout me;
Ain’t no sense in worryin bout me;
What if I vanish tomorrow?
Life still goes on without me
We cannot suspend a prophecy;
My friend what will be, it sure will be (que sera sera)
If Babylon falls tomorrow,
Then that’s how it was supposed to be
Can’t control every circumstance
Some things are out of your hands
You’ve got to believe there’s a bigger plan
Or you’ll make yourself a madman
Take the coast, walk the shoreline,
Search your soul, free your mind
Try to be right in all you do
Cause only you can account for you
Ain’t no sense in worryin bout me;
Ain’t no sense in worryin bout me;
What if I vanish tomorrow?
Life still goes on without me
We cannot suspend a prophecy;
My friend what will be, it sure will be (que sera sera)
If Babylon falls tomorrow,
Then that’s how it was supposed to be
Ain’t no sense in crying over me;
I lived to be all I knew to be
Just keep my words that you borrowed;
Publish them for the whole world to see
Ain’t no sense in worryin bout me; (Ain’t no sense in crying over me)
Ain’t no sense in worryin bout me;
What if I vanish tomorrow?
Life still goes on without me
