Can I Tie Your Shoes?
By Hang Vu

Can I tie your shoes?
I don’t want you falling for anyone else
Stand here by my side
You’re always on my mind and I just want you to myself
Three words, eight letters
I know we’re meant together, baby stay with me
Our path on the same direction
My number one selection, run away with me
*Your hand in my hand I know that I am strong
The words on my lips, the melody to this song
I know this feeling isn’t wrong whenever I’m with you
Whenever I’m with you
Can I call you babe
or any other name to clarify you’re mine?
Cuz I wake up in fear for you not to know what I feel inside
Three words, eight letters
I know we’re meant together, baby stay with me
Our path on the same direction, my number one selection, run away with me
Repeat *
**You inspire me in every single way
You make me smile and blush on a gloomy day
I know this feeling isn’t wrong whenever I’m with you
Whenever I’m with you
Do you feel my heartbeat how fast it goes
Whenever you’re near it’ll never slow
Do you hear my voice the whisper it blows
Towards your ears and straight to your soul? (2x)
Repeat * and **

Soldier

For Phil
I watched you sleep in your bed
Through the cracks in your lips, I heard the words you said
“Please forgive me if I’ve gone away
But I know you’ll be okay”
I could see you in my mind
Though I didn’t think much of it at the time
I asked what you’d want me to sing if you leave
You turned away, leaving me to grieve
*You marched to war with yourself
Fighting just so you could regain some health
And as I wait for you to come back home
I could see you as you soldiered on
As the light broke, so did my heart
At the thought of us being so far apart
Never thought I’d have to prepare this song
But I guess I was always wrong
Repeat *
I closed my eyes and laid me down to sleep
Fighting hard just so I wouldn’t weep
And as I wait for you to come back to me
I could see you as you soldiered on
You marched to war by yourself
Fighting hard so you could regain some health
I clenched my fists tight to try and stay strong
As I marched and soldiered on

I’ll Take Mine
By Ashley Rossi
http://ashleylrossi.wordpress.com/
We haven't talked in a week
New eyes now gaze over me
You've become an allusion
That I use to see
Started drinking again
Don't know, how long it's been
Since my blood was pure red
Think it's been a while
*You said we'd be friends 'till the end of time
Now look how we've grown, you take your heart and I'll take mine
He's a good man I swear
You said I'd find him out there
So here I am, trying again
Think it's been a while
Repeat *
Is it okay to move on?
I think you're, still holding on
Playing with me like a puppet
Now it's time to set myself free
You said you loved me that spring
Gave me a butterfly ring
Oh but this boy swears he loves me more
Tell me that's not the truth, because
Repeat *

Patriotic Poverty
By John Morgan
https://soundcloud.com/jmpianomusic
Put on your green jersey, we're all in this together
The developers that defaulted on their loans feel this as much as you
VOTE YES
Dissent is unpatriotic, stop asking questions
we know what's best for you, VOTE YES
*We'll all die if we vote no
Just because we haven't created any jobs yet doesn't mean we won't
More taxes to stimulate the economy
Private debt no thanks, we'll all by fine.
So we partied, we're turning the corner
Green shoots of recovery
Fundamentals of the economy are sound
Sounds like we've beaten the recession
The rest of it doesn't know where to go
Coz we've won and it's done
And don't tell the people things they don't need to know
Don’t tell the people things they need to know
But I’m a liar, yes I’m a liar
Going forward to where we are sidestepping things and other stuff
Always on the lookout for the rocky shores of good times
Spinning towards the future while referencing the past
Remembering the boys of 1916 who fought and Vinegar Hill
Shut. Up. Sit. Down.
Repeat * (2x)

Mistakes
By Julie Haak
A little white lie may change your life
What starts as harmless could transform into a fight
Some things fade, some just grow
When it comes to mistakes who knows what time holds
*Some mistakes can be easily disguised
Some mistakes can be a fortunate surprise
Some mistakes can be erased like the answers on a paper
Some mistakes can be forgotten with a shake of hands and honest pardon
But some mistakes you live with everyday
Like a prisoner for life in the back of your brain
Mistakes can be opinions facts truths
That can work out for the best or make you a victim of your youth
They can teach you they can beat you, just another flaw of man,
You can only see inside yourself when mistakes make you understand
Make you understand
A life without mistakes is a life not lived
A life with too many reminds us how to forgive
Repeat *
Some mistakes can be a fortunate surprise
Some mistakes can be erased like the answers on a paper
Some mistakes can be forgotten with a shake of hands and honest pardon
But some mistakes you live with everyday
