Three Divas
There once were three divas, You may not know their names
But back in the day, it was all their game
Fashion, fur, diamonds and pearls
But these divas were no ordinary girls
They shared the same dream The silent picture screen
First Broadway, then lights
Shooting late into the night
Men at their feet, dyin for a look
Don’t ever cross a diva, she’s got a nasty right hook
The Divas, they all love their fame
The Divas want you to remember their names
They love hangin in the commissary, just like you and me
Except they’ve passed on to immortality
Hard work, rejection, pain and tears
On long late nights, too many a beer
But they don’t quit because they know
They were meant to be the stars of the show.
Gloria, Betty, Sidney, recall
Endless auditions, waitin in the hall
Only 1 girl would get the part
Even tho, not much sets them apart.
The Divas, they all love their fame
The Divas want you to remember their names
They love hangin in the commissary, just like you and me
Except they’ve passed on to immortality
Time was passing by, the talkies were born
The silent stars were filled with scorn
Just a picture on a wall
Gloria, Sidney, Betty, began to fall
But if you visit Kaufman when no one’s around
You may hear a silent divas sound
I’m meant to be at the top of the stairs
Not in the basement, no don’t you dare.
I’m a diva, I deserve my fame
I battled for decades, You remember my name
One late night these divas, gave me this song
Cuz they knew this diva was ready to belong.
There once was a diva, you may not know my name.
But listen now, it’s all my game.
Fashion fur, diamonds and pearls
Yes, this diva is no ordinary girl

CARRY ME
On this path I have chosen
Life weighs on me like a storm in the sea
I’ve given my all
And I’m tired of the fall
So please carry me to where I belong
Chorus
Carry Me I am so broken
Carry Me I’m not that strong
Carry Me, my arms are wide open
Carry Me to where I belong
It’s so dark, these shadows weigh me down
Life’s so heavy, I can’t seem to turn it around
I can’t speak, my voice has lost its faith
Show me where your light is, please show me your face.
Chorus
Pain and sorrow teaches strength and joy
To climb back up, must we be destroyed
You’ll take me places, I never dreamed
Take me now, I’m yours, I’m ready to believe
Chorus
You’ve held me before, I’ve felt your grace
When a breeze passed me by, you kissed my face
When the sea knocked me down, I did not drown
You’ll lift me again, I breathe in your embrace
Carry Me I am so broken
Carry Me I’m not that strong
Carry Me, my arms are wide open
Carry Me to where I belong
Carry Me I am so broken
Carry Me I’m not that strong
Carry Me, my arms are wide open
Carry Me to where I belong
Carry Me to where I belong

Shout It Out

Shout it Out
Anger patiently
Boiling inside
Ready to break at any moment
But she hides it behind a smile
That is a lie and she cries
So it stews and it stirs
And the rage is ready to burst
So you’ve got to
Shout it out, at the top of your lungs
Shout it out, to keep it down
Shout it out, all the anger in me
Shout, it out, shout it out, shout it out
Journal entry marked with a D
But he was told to write what he feels
“No good she said, doesn’t make the grade
..Kid, I think you were a mistake”
So it stews and it stirs and
the rage is ready to burst
So you’ve got to
Shout it out, at the top of your lungs
Shout it out, to keep it down
Shout it out, all the anger in me
Shout, it out, shout it out,
Shout it out, at the top of your lungs
Shout it out, to keep it down
Shout it out, all the anger in me
Shout, it out, shout it out,
The tears hid behind their eyes, like a dam waiting to break
A vicious ocean churned,
watch out for the wake
So they ran to a field as fast as they could
As they felt the anger inside
And then a voice from somewhere, tells you how to get by
Shout it out, at the top of your lungs
Shout it out to keep it down
Shout it out all the anger in me
Shout it out, shout it out,
Shout it out, at the top of your lungs
Shout it out to keep it down
Shout it out all the anger in me
Shout it out, shout it out, shout it out

You're The One

You’re the One
When you’re here, I have no fear
I’ve never felt this way
I feel safe and I feel strong
I finally feel like I belong.
Didn’t know what I was missin
Thought I could do it on my own
Had myself and that was fine
But that’s all changed now that you’re mine.
I’d been floating thru space, lost in time.
Not knowing I had a place, a place that would be mine.
In your arms, I look at your face.
Forever, lock me in your embrace
CHORUS
Cuz you’re the one, this I know
You’re the one, and I love you so
You’re the one and I know you know
Cuz this is all we’ve been waitin for
Even though it might sound strange
It feels I already know you
Like we’ve lived life this before
Another time on another shore
You hold me with your stare,
Your eyes I know their truth
Because your soul I recognize
Your smile is the greatest proof
As a child, I dreamed of the day
You’d know my heart and come straight my way
In our hearts, the rhythm would beat in time-----
We’d realize the pain was worth the climb
CHORUS
Cuz you’re the one, this I know
You’re the one, and I love you so
You’re the one and I know you know
Cuz this is all we’ve been waitin for
BRIDGE
So many nights, so many tears
Growin all alone, too many years
I never gave up hope there was a reason for this time
This lonely time before you were mine.
CHORUS
You’re the one, this I know
You’re the one and I love you so
You’re the one and I know you know
Cuz this is all we’ve been waitin
Cuz you are the love I’ve been waitin
cuz we are the love,
I’ve been been waitin for
I’ve been been waitin for
I’ve been been waitin for

I PRAY FOR YOU
So it’s another lonely night, livin with my fantasies,
All on my own, these dreams in my head
Hopin for something real
Someone who cares as deeply as I do
Someone livin this pain too.
I can’t do it anymore, I’m tired of bein alone
Tired of cryin, I want to feel you near.
Who is this life for
But I won’t let these tears on my page
Wash away this song I need to say,
CHORUS
I pray for you, I pray for you
If you’re crying like me
I pray that somehow you’ll get through
I pray for you.
On a lonely night when the stars seem dim
Look out the window and see
A star gettin brighter gettin closer to you
Cuz you know I’ll be your light
When you’re finally standing by my side
Maybe then just all the world will seem right
CHORUS
I pray for you, I pray for you
If you’re crying like me
I pray that somehow you’ll get through
I pray for you.
BRIDGE
I imagine the laughter and the way you’ll make me smile
And Secret jokes known only by you and I.
I see us walkin into eternity
With your hand held in mine, it’ll be worth the wait you’ll see
So it’s another lonely night, livin with my fantasies,
All on my own, these dreams in my head
Hopin for something real
Someone who cares as deeply as I do
Someone livin this pain too.
CHORUS

A BEST FRIEND IN ME
-written by Amy Rivard
I faced myself in the mirror.
It was time to confront my fear.
Aren’t you tired of the pain
From losing never gaining.
So wipe your face and lose those tears
And get yourself in gear.
If you’ve got to make it on your own,
There’s nothing wrong with being alone.
You’ve got strength inside.
You don’t need to hide,
There’s another door with better things in store for you.
Life itself holds many mysteries,
And you can rewrite your own history.
Pick up your pen, soon your heart will mend
When you take a stance, give a second glance
And let your heart be free.
If you’ve got to make it on your own,
There’s nothing wrong with being alone.
You’ve got strength inside.
You don’t need to hide,
There’s another door with better things in store for you.
My heart had been broken,
Shattered pieces of glass.
Each crack retaining
Heartaches from the past.
I can make it on my own.
There’s nothing wrong with being alone.
I’ve got strength inside,
I don’t need to hide
There’s another door with better things in store for me.
I can make it on my own.
There’s nothing wrong with being alone.
I’ve got strength inside,
I don’t need to hide.
There’s another door with better things in store for me.
I take a look in the mirror and now it’s clear to see
That I’ve got a best friend, a friend in me.
