The Sound of You by Cailin Green and Robert Campbell (SOCAN) The stirring of your coffee cup In the morning, before I’m up The waking yawn you take to greet the day I can hear a symphony That plays your living melody I love the sound of you I love your voice, your breath The beating of your heart The whistling tune you chase but never catch Oh I love the sound of you The song is always new I love the sound of you Your footsteps coming down the stairs A rhythm I’d know anywhere Your laugh, when you tease me just for fun The sweetest sound I’ll ever hear One that rings out crystal clear The sound of you saying I Love You I love your voice, your breath The beating of your heart The whistling tune you chase but never catch Oh I love the sound of you The song is always new I love the sound of you (Do do do’s) When you’re not around the silence calls your name If the music stops I’ll never be the same Oh I love the sound of you I love your voice, your breath The beating of your heart The whistling tune you chase but never catch Oh I love the sound of you The song is always new I love the sound of you Repeat chorus and tag last three lines (Do do do’s outro)

Crushed My Beating Heart by Cailin Green and Robert Campbell (SOCAN) Without a glance you closed the door The silence hung like frozen rain It never crossed your mind I might be burned I sat there for I don’t know how long Out of place and out of time Thinking hard about the way we were My hopes and fears are waging holy war Your words of steel pierced my Pierced my beating heart How can a bright day look so dark? The sunshine feel so cold? Every colour is a shade of grey I’ve never felt so small before A little bird in a sky of stone How am I supposed to live this way? My hopes and fears are waging holy war Your words of steel pierced my Pierced my beating heart A mountain fell and crushed my Crushed My Beating Heart Don’t play games with me, speak clear and sweet Tell me what you want from me Don’t beat me down, don’t beat me down Don’t make me write a sad sad song You talk in riddles and empty words Too afraid to speak your mind I thought you loved me, now I’m not so sure My hopes and fears are waging holy war Your words of steel pierced my Pierced my beating heart A mountain fell and crushed my Crushed My Beating Heart

Will It Feel Like Home by Ivan Boudreau and Robert Campbell (SOCAN) A hail of bombs broke the morning calm They fled from the city when their house was gone runnin from the guns, can you see them hiding fear in their eyes, hope still shining caught up in the fires, of a world gone mad a little peace and quiet, is it too much to ask They cross the borders, refugees Searchin’ for freedom, they gotta to be free Will it be any safer in a foreign land Will they finally escape, reach a helping hand Will it feel like heaven from the hell they’ve known There’s a new world waiting, will it feel like home Safe in our cities we sit and watch front page news, nightly TV spots Wave after wave the numbers grow Desperate people, overcrowded boats whipped by the winds, thrown across the seas A child on a beach brings the world to its knees He crossed the waters, a refugee Searching for freedom, at last he is free Will it be any safer in a foreign land Will they finally escape, reach a helping hand Will it feel like heaven from the hell they’ve known There’s a new world waiting, will it feel like home they cross the borders refugees Hoping for freedom, will we hear their pleas Will it be any safer in a foreign land Will they finally escape, reach a helping hand Will it feel like heaven from the hell they’ve known There’s a new world waiting, will it feel like home

Broken Innocence by Cailin Green and Shirley Jackson (SOCAN) Another day, the same routine Wondering how she got here She works so hard, she won’t have to feel Deep inside she carries blame That was never hers to claim An eternal shame, turning a lonely wheel Broken Innocence Shadow in the night Broken Innocence Angels cry Lovers fill the empty nights Playing shallow games Rusted chains still bind her to the storm Scars have left her blinded To the promises of love A thousand tears can’t dull the stinging thorns Broken Innocence Shadow in the night Broken Innocence Angels cry So afraid to dream Blessed hope Play with pieces of her heart Broken Innocence Shadow in the night Broken Innocence Angels cry

A Love I Never Knew by Cailin Green and Robert Campbell (SOCAN) Sitting at his easel in a field of waving yellow wheat Born upon a heady summer breeze as if it was a dream With brush in hand he painted nature’s bloom how I could never see Stranger things have happened, so I’m told, but not to me He poured out his sanity with fevered strokes of red and tortured green I asked him what his secret was that made his colours dance on simple cloth Wild blue eyes looked at me, his furrowed brow deepened with his thought He said ‘poetry is all around and nothing less than love will set it free’ A lover’s eyes A master’s touch Spoke to me with painted hue A thousand words Of A Love I Never Knew Then he said to me, with certainty, that he was nothing but a simple man And life is not worth living without searching out the truth before we die And when he saw the stars at night, their shining light he held in his hand He closed his eyes and whispered ‘I must always find the courage to try’ A lover’s eyes A master’s touch Spoke to me with painted hue A thousand words Of A Love I Never Knew (Oooh’s) Morning came and I awoke to watch the colours sadly fade away I swear he spoke his mind to me in words I think I’ll never understand The evening was so real to me, I saw him paint the waning light of day He showed me life was beautiful, as only Vincent can A lover’s eyes A master’s touch Spoke to me with painted hue A thousand words Of A Love I Never Knew

Fault Line 03:03
Fault Line by Robert Campbell, Lucy LeBlanc, Joanne Stacey (SOCAN) Everyone’s got their breaking point A line is crossed A moment’s lost Why do I need someone else to blame A slippery slope Losing hope That deep divide No place to hide A crazy ride On the Fault Line Like a seismic shift Nothing’s what I think it is On the Fault Line It sure gets rough I realize love ain’t enough Cuz’ when I finally see both sides I’m on the Fault Line I find myself on shaky ground Feel it slip Can’t get a grip I just want to reach across Take it back Close the gap That deep divide No place to hide Bound to slide On the Fault Line Like a seismic shift Nothing’s what I think it is On the Fault Line It sure gets rough I realize love ain’t enough Cuz’ when I finally see both sides I’m on the Fault Line And the tension builds and builds and builds and builds and builds And we fall and fall and fall and fall and fall On the Fault Line Like a seismic shift Nothing’s what I think it is On the Fault Line It sure gets rough I realize love ain’t enough Cuz’ when I finally see both sides I’m on the Fault Line

I’m Only Human by Cailin Green and Robert Campbell (SOCAN) You built this bridge between us And now you hold the match The fire in your eyes burns wild Turned all we had to ash Your rosy glasses skewed your view You needed to believe That I was above reality Now, I’m on my knees My only crime was trying too hard To be the one you loved But I’m only human I make mistakes and sometimes break From sticks and damning stones I’m Only Human I’m Only Human I think I see your pain inside So, I won’t close my door I’ll think of you as beautiful If there’s really nothing more My only crime was trying too hard To be the one you loved But I’m only human I make mistakes and sometimes break From sticks and damning stones I’m Only Human I’m Only Human You made me question everything The day you turned away Did you honestly believe your truth Is that why you didn’t stay? My only crime was trying too hard To be the one you loved But I’m only human I make mistakes and sometimes break From sticks and damning stones I’m Only Human I’m Only Human tag and outro

He Won’t Give Up Until I Smile by Cailin Green and Robert Campbell (SOCAN) No red roses when I’m feeling low That kind of love thing, he just doesn’t know A bag of chips is more his style And He Won’t Give Up Until I Smile He says I’m beautiful when I know I’m not He says he loves me and that can’t be bought He’ll crack a joke like he’s a little child And He Won’t Give Up Until I Smile He’s not perfect but I don’t care ‘Cuz him and me, well we’re quite a pair I’m a little quiet and he’s a little wild And He Won’t Give Up Until I Smile I try to fix him, but what can you do? Then he’ll surprise me with something new He’ll carry me for a long long while And He Won’t Give Up Until I Smile He’s not perfect but I don’t care ‘Cuz him and me, well we’re quite a pair I’m a little quiet and he’s a little wild And He Won’t Give Up Until I Smile He’s not perfect but I don’t care ‘Cuz him and me, well we’re quite a pair I’m a little quiet and he’s a little wild And He Won’t Give Up Until I Smile Outro ad lib

Heaven’s Company by Robert Campbell and Kathryn Berry (SOCAN) Tall stalks of wheat Waving in the breeze As the sun goes down They move me somehow As they curtsy and bow The wind whispers dreams I feel it in that perfect dance Aware of a presence I breath Silence into me In Heaven’s Company Lying in the grass Blue sky a contrast To your raven hair Sun-kissed arms so bare Eyes closed as if in prayer Day fades to night It’s beauty is incandescence Here in your presence I breath Silence into me I feel my divinity In Heaven’s Company Sometimes I’m afraid The ripples I have made Won’t amount to much Have I done enough? Have I said too much? When the world seems too big I feel my place has no consequence I long for your presence I breath Silence into me I feel my divinity In Heaven’s Company I breath Silence into me I feel my divinity In Heaven’s Company
