Time flies faster than the fun in the sun, And the sun is on the run from another one, Of the days on the rise as the dark goes away on another spun, Another day has begun! Twenty-twenty, made us all a little worried, Looking hindsight, it’s a little blurry, It’s time to move forward now, moving in a hurry, Never going back to that time, so sirry! Let’s move forward, now, who wanna come? A brand new start, for everyone! You’re gonna have to bounce, You’re gonna have to run, You’re gonna have to scream out loud, You’re gonna have to have some fun, Time flies faster than the fun in the sun, And the sun is on the run from another one, Of the days on the rise as the dark goes away on another spun, Another day has begun! Who’d of thought, that we’d make it alive? Watchin’ on the news, the years go by, Keep your ears open, understandable lies, Thinking about it now, it’s no surprise! Anything you wanna be, you can become, Let the light shine in front of everyone! You’re gonna have to laugh, You’re gonna have to smile, You’re gonna have to jump around, Even if it takes a while!!! Time flies faster than the fun in the sun, And the sun is on the run from another one, Of the days on the rise as the dark goes away on another spun, Another day has begun! In a 2020 state of mind, Hind sight will leave you all really blind. So Walk forward and leave the rest behind, Press play, no fast forward or rewind. There’s a better year for us to find, But we’ll only Get to it one day at a time, You’re gonna have to work, You’re gonna have to grind. You’re gonna have to make it match, You’re gonna have to make it rhyme! Time flies faster than the fun in the sun, And the sun is on the run from another one, Of the days on the rise as the dark goes away on another spun, Another day has begun! Time flies faster than the fun in the sun, And the sun is on the run from another one, Of the days on the rise as the dark goes away on another spun, Another day has begun!

They stole me from my land but they brought me to you, I knew it was love at first sight that’s true! I seen you glance back and it made me feel new, When the day went dark I was thinking of you. I started plotting out a plan on how to breakthrough, I knew we’d get caught if we’d left them a clue, But I’d risk my life and my soul for you, We didn’t have much so we had to make do! In the woods, all alone when it was dark, We’d sit close together watch the fireflies spark, In the troubled times, you brought peace in my Heart, I was ready to die, nothing can tear us Apart! Run with me let’s go through the lands Come with me let’s go hand and hand Who knows where we’ll be, let’s go unplanned Follow the stars just as far as we can Let’s run! We ran bare feet in the dandelion field, While we laughed at the birds and the jumping of deer. We laid on our backs as the clouds disappeared, In all of those moments we forgot about fear! We didn’t care about the evil that was near, The wind was fresh and the skies were clear, Our bodies filled up with everlasting cheer, The wind was fresh and the skies were clear! Run with me let’s go through the lands Come with me let’s go hand and hand Who knows where we’ll be, let’s go unplanned Follow the stars just as far as we can Let’s run! I looked in your eyes and I seen the daylight, Even though we were stuck in the darkness of night. You gave me the hope and I thought that we might, Have a chance to make our future so bright, I hold onto you with all of my might, As long as we’re together, I’ll be ready to fight. We took a look around, there was no one in sight, I’ll hold you forever in my arms so tight! Run with me let’s go through the lands Come with me let’s go hand and hand Who knows where we’ll be, let’s go unplanned Follow the stars just as far as we can Let’s run!

I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? Can I hold you close, kiss your neck from behind? I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? Promise me you’ll love me; do you have the time? I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? Can I hold your hand, can you hold mine? I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? I need to know it’s real, cause your love is divine. I Wish I had a chance to tell you goodbye One last chance just to stare in your eyes To Hear your voice, maybe sit by your side Listen to your stories, and wonder why I’m layin’ in the bed, with you in my head? Placing all these words onto paper again You were In and out, like you were a trend I guess I Lost the moment that I needed to spend I’m trying to let you know that I really did try I hope you didn’t hear cause I really did cry And I found out that you really did lie! Used to be the shine now there’s tears in my eyes The only thing left is a bit of my pride Lookin’ at me now, I know I’m outta my prime nearly outta of my time Felt it creeping up, like the end of a rhyme Your love is divine… I feel so calm, with your head on my chest And Every single time, like we just met mysterious, don’t know what to expect Make my eyes roll, when you kiss on my neck The type of love moves you can never forget You’re the type of lover that I’ll never regret I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? Can I hold you close, kiss your neck from behind? I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? Promise me you’ll love me; do you have the time? I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? Can I hold your hand, can you hold mine? I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? I need to know it’s real, cause your love is divine. I need your type of love That makes me wanna stay I need your type of love That you’re sending my way And you’re that type of girl That make me wanna stay I need your type of love That you’re sending my way! Mysterious, don’t know what to expect Make my eyes roll when you kiss on my neck… I feel so calm, with your head on my chest And Every single time, like we just met mysterious, don’t know what to expect Make my eyes roll, when you kiss on my neck The type of love moves you can never forget You’re the type of lover that I’ll never regret I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? Can I hold you close, kiss your neck from behind? I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? Promise me you’ll love me; do you have the time? I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? Can I hold your hand, can you hold mine? I’m ready for your love, are you ready for mine? I need to know it’s real, cause your love is divine

The sun rises early when you’re in the east The tides make scar lines on the beach Reminds me of the timelines, you & me Layers in the sand with our history Reflections of the sun glitter off the Sea For miles all around, happens magically Rolling in and out like our memories Moments unafraid, it comes in waves… It comes in waves, that feeling I get when I’m alone It comes in waves, that feeling I get when you’re not home The sand’s so soft when the water collides Like a tender caress or a delicate stride Hand in hand when I stare in your eyes With my hopes and dreams, in you I confide The water gets deep, I can lose my grip Floating out to the Sea, like an unmanned ship Sloshed around, trying not to flip Lost in time on a one way trip The wind picks up, it rains and pours Lost control, the clouds they roar Seems like you can’t see anymore Come crashing in, like waves on the shore It comes in waves, that feeling I get when I’m alone It comes in waves, that feeling I get when you’re not home It’s a little bit problematic, this little wave of panic But I can get through the night, if I can have just one night If the water gets deep, we can tread the way Drift on our backs ‘til the end of day Stare at the stars as they fade away The waves go by but I’ll always stay Seen the highest highs, seen the lowest lows So far out, every channel exposed Crashed so hard and it’s still unknown The light in the house led me right home

Hug my wife n’ kids and call mom Pray for safety, nothing goes wrong Think about me when I’m gone The boat is loaded, season is long When you miss me... Sing a missing me song When you miss me, oh yeah… Sing that missing me song I float in a boat with a crew, now family Everywhere I look, yeah the sea surrounds me The waves come crashing in While the shores keep distancin’ When I miss you... I think about where I’ve been When I miss you… I think about where we’ve been Free floating ship, free floating ship Feel the waves at the stern of the ship Put up the sails, the air fills it Get on your ship, yeah get on your ship Follow the waves, the eternal trip Follow the waves, yeah follow the waves Enjoy your trip, enjoy your trip…enjoy your trip One with the water, you are the ship Follow the waves, yeah follow the waves Follow the waves, the eternal trip Enjoy your trip….enjoy your trip

How Cold 02:20
How cold do you gotta be? To let me sit here while you see me freeze I been down and out and been on my knees While you pass by like the windy breeze Can you spare a dollar for a Brutha in need? Give me the scraps from that bag to feed I’ve never had enough to know the feel of greed I only need a little bit, help me please? How cold? How cold? How cold do you gotta be? I been waking up on the cold concrete You step around me like you can’t see How cold? How cold? How cold do you gotta be? And how cold do you gotta be? I’m stuck in streets but you call the police There Ain’t no place for me to be Curfew’s at eight, it’s 7:30! I know that you’re staring at me I know that you’re swearing at me I know that you’re guaranteed To scroll right by like your Facebook feed! How cold? How cold? How cold do you gotta be? I been waking up on the cold concrete You step around me like you can’t see How cold? How cold? How cold do you gotta be? And how cold do you gotta be? I’m my momma’s baby boy and got family If you took the time, you just might see There ain’t no difference tween you and me I need a warm place and to rest my feet A place with 4 walls, a roof and heat A sandwich, yeah, bread and meat Any place outta these winter streets!
