There you are staring at the world of front of me
Face to face living in our own reality

*I’m right down to the restless stages
Gonna find out that you’re going places
Cuz it’s all a State Of Mind

Feel the road traveled underneath my weary feet
Moving slow though my thoughts are racing speed

Yah I’m taking it slow, I’m gonna take my time
Yah I’m taking it slow, I’m just taking my sweet time

Go if you wanna go
Stay if you wanna stay
I really don’t wanna know
Just be what you wanna be

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)

Sentenced to the humble life
I stumble in & out of being fine
I can’t fake it anymore
Every time you look at me
I wonder who it is you think you see
I don’t know me anymore

*Still tracing the line even when it’s crooked sometimes
I still believe that the ride is the destination

Falling up & coming down
I put my tired feet back on the ground
I’m still spinning standing still
Un-accepting everything
Everything that changes stays the same
Leaves me coming back for more

*Still tracing the line even when it’s crooked sometimes
I still believe that the ride is the destination
Breathe in the fumes of this sweet Intoxication Of Life
It will make you high & low

You know that it’s hard when people bring you down
When they don’t even know you at all

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander, Michael James)

I’m wasted, cheated & left here to die
I’m lonely, Mistreated, left wondering why
I’ve been locked in solitude
You’ve been locked in solitude
We’ve been trying to break free
Something won’t let us be

*I know it’s all you wanna give
I’m not asking anymore
For time can only heal the deepest of our sore
All I wish to say is that I love you anyway

My hands are binded, I’m down on my knees
I’m dazed, confused & left here to bleed
Silence is miscommunication
Screaming won’t help the situation
We’ve been trying to understand
Emotions that are out of hand

In our own time, In our own time
In our own time, In our own time

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)

*I’m still alive, Uncover me
Save me from this debris, Buried in my heart
Come rescue me, I’m still alive

Searching through this masquerade
Hard to find a familiar face
In a mask that is real
Naked as the truth becomes
Haunted by reality
With the reasons you’re gone

*I’m still alive, Uncover me
Save me from this debris, Buried in my heart
Come rescue me, I’m still alive

Slowly we disentegrate
Close your eyes & celebrate
The time we are here
Looking through this tragedy
It’s taken many lives from me
Leaves me asking why

*I’m still alive, Uncover me
Save me from this debris, Buried in my heart
Come rescue me, I’m still alive
I’m still alive, Uncover me
Save me from this madness
Buried in my heart, God help me please
I’m still alive

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)

I don’t where I’m going
All I know where I’ve been
I’m right here beside you

Standing at the crossroads
Seems so familiar
Like I’ve been before
I’ve been here before

Oceans of laughter
To a desert full of tears
Chamber of my memories
Rediscovered from my youth
Have tattooed my fears

*You’ll be the light that’s inside of me
Shine on the way to let it be
Scars so deep they start to bleed
Held for years inside of me
It’s time to Release
Holding on, Will only bring you down
So find the courage to let it all go

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)

Dead inside but still alive
My soul it bleeds internally
Thirsting for a sip of your smile

A year ago like yesterday
Lord, You know how hard I prayed
Make you stay here for awhile.

*Life was better with you here
I know it will take some time to fully heal
Before I say Goodbye

Unwanted change is moving on
Holding on to everything
Just to be your thoughts for awhile

A year ago like yesterday
Lord you know I’d give up anything
Just to have you here for awhile

Even when I lied you were mine
Even when you died you were mine

*Life was better with you here
I know it will take some time to fully heal
Before I say, Before you say
Before we say Goodbye

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)

I never knew what to be without you
My mind if full of so many things
Twisted thoughts I can’t explain
Day to day I’m on the verge of Breaking Down

*Before you go into a rage, Instead of breaking everything
You just got to look into yourself to find a way
Before you go into a rage, Instead of breaking everything
Just find your way

Stay here with me
I didn’t mean to set you free
My heart is beating faster now
Time is always running out
Living life on the verge of Breaking Down

*Before you go into a rage, Instead of breaking everything
You just got to look into your life to find a way
Before you go into a rage, Just try to make through the rain
to find your way

*Before you go into a rage, Instead of breaking everything
You just got to look into yourself to find a way
The questions always passing through, The answers are inside of you
When you find your way

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)

Feel the sunshine on your face
Much like freedom’s reigning grace
When you’re prisoner in your life asking why

Corporations with machine guns
All your man made self destruction
Think you’re gonna lead the way to better day

Hey, yah, I know it’s Now Or Never
Just got to get out of this place
One day I know there’s got to be some
Change, change, change
Just got to get out L.A.

Politicians with decisions
Painting superficial visions
You’ve been bringing us down
Tearing us down, Not anymore

Hey, yah, I know it’s Now Or Never
Just got to get out of this place
One day I know there’s got to be some
Change, change, change
Just got to get out of this place
Just got to get out L.A.

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)

So tell me what’s Definition
So many have enquired
In content in all their ways
Thousands who need to be saved
I don’t understand it
The meaning of this life
When everything I thought was dead
Has come back alive

*What do all these voices mean, Screaming in my head
Telling me I’m nothing, Thought maybe I was something
Circumstance has brought me here, Up against that wall
Fighting with the enemy, When the enemy is my own

So tell what’s your Definition
While standing on the sidelines
Even with Salvation
Oh, it never was enough for you.
I understand it
The meaning of this way
When every road I follow
Always leads me astray

All alone, I’m all alone, All alone, I’m all alone
All alone, I’m all alone, I’m all alone without you

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)

Stand exactly where you are
Hate I know you’ve traveled far
Days & Nights working all alone
Feels like you’re going nowhere & you’re life is slipping away
Your shelter is to hide.

*I’ve searched all around the world. Just to see what I should be.
Found peace in giving to others in this 21st Century.

Day to day I wonder why
Love is born so quickly dies.
In an age where we are so consumed with how we appear
Never realize the body is just a shell
The spirit lives inside.

*I’ve searched all around the world. To see what I should be.
Where I found peace in giving to others. All I know is what I give will
come back around in this 21st Century.

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)

Sign of the times
Everything is closing in
People are fearing for their lives
Nowhere to run
I wonder if the day will come
When war is all we know

Born to these chains, That keep us apart

*We’ve been locked up for so long, Want freedom for our souls
When the answers to the questions we’ve been looking for are gone
Been locked up for so long, Want freedom for the soul
When the answers to the questions we’ve been looking for are gone

Wake up, Open your eyes
Violence comes in black & white
Color is the only hope i see
Spinning out of control
Looking around
Nowhere to go
Finding it’s all we know

Born to these chains, That keep us apart

*We’ve been locked up for so long, Want freedom for our souls
When the answers to the questions we’ve been looking for are gone
Want freedom for the world, Everyday is a way to change
When everyone is broken maybe we should Come Together

I pledge allegiance to the flag to the United States of my America

Come Together, Come Together, Come Together, Come Together

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)

There comes a time
When you needed a friend
You reached out your hand
There was nothing to hold
Been there twice, three times or four
You’ll never know what life has in store

I look in your eyes
There I see
All of your pain & suffering
As you go on your way
Wishing you love
Just know in your heart
You’ll never be alone

*As you spread your wings to fly
May peace & love be your guide
As you find out Where You Belong

It’s late at night
I’m right here w you
Tears falling down
We’re saying goodbye
You’re letting go
I’m letting go too
The memories we’ve shared
Will always be in my heart

As you fade away, as you fade away

*As you spread your wings to fly
May peace & love be your guide
As you find out Where You Belong
You fade away in the night
You’ll always be in my heart
As you find out Where You Belong

As you fade away, as you fade away
You’re gone, I miss you

(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)
