STAND in the SUNSHINE (+music/lyrics by S.Morgan)
© Little Phoenix 2009

I get so tired everyday, with work to do and bills to pay
I wouldn't hate this daily grind if only
I'd get a chance to unwind

Let me stand in the sunshine and look at the sky
For that one sweet moment everything feels fine

I have a world of better dreams
That you'd never find just looking at me
And the past is so unkind
What choice is there but to leave it behind?

Let me stand in the sunshine and look at the sky
For that one sweet moment everything feels fine
Everything feels fine, everything feels fine
Everything feels fine, everything feels fine
Everything feels fine, everything feels fine
Everything feels fine, everything feels fine

Let me stand in the sunshine and look at the sky
For that one sweet moment . . .

FOOL'S GOLD (music/lyrics by S.Morgan) © Little Phoenix 2009

Fool's gold, I saw you shining my love
And it took me in
False glow, all surface glitter
To catch me in the web that you spin
And your eyes, your eyes
Betrayed all the lies
But I wasn't looking at them
More fool me, more fool me
More fool me, more fool me

Fool's gold, falling for you proved to be
My greatest mistake
False love, the more I could give
Guaranteed there'd be more that you'd take
And your lips, your lips
They spoke of such bliss
And how I believed in you then
More fool me, more fool me
More fool me, more fool me

I dreamed we'd grow old, for the lies that you told
I squandered a fortune to find
Only fool's gold

I NEVER LIKED YOU ANYWAY  © Little Phoenix 2009
(music/lyrics by  S.Morgan, arranged B.Bergen)

You can talk if you gotta talk, doesn't mean that I'll do
what you say
You can make up all the rules, but I ain't gonna play

Oh, oh, aha, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
What a thing to say

You have always been the one to put me down, day after day
I got nothing left to lose and you have a debt to pay

Oh, oh, aha, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
I never liked you anyway

Your insults just can't reach me
You've nothing new to teach me
Don't care if you believe me
You're just a waste of space
That's my gut reaction
Now I'm taking action
So just get out of my face

Oh, oh, aha, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
What a thing to say
Oh, oh, aha, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
I never liked you anyway

Oh, oh, aha, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
I never liked you anyway

BONES  (music/lyrics by S.Morgan) © Little Phoenix 2009

He smiles at you so sweetly, you fall for him completely
Lost in his eyes, you don't realise
His love is too expensive
The cost will be extensive
But you want this man
You don't understand

Your bones will heal and your bruises will fade
Nothing hurts like the choices you make
Falling so far, while you're sinking so low
What can I say? You won't let him go
No

Another night of fighting, another night of crying
Your voice is gone, you're all alone
He's sleeping there beside you
There's nothing that you can do
But pay the price
That's your sacrifice

Your bones will heal and your bruises will fade
Nothing hurts like the choices you make
Falling so far, while you're sinking so low
What can I say? You won't let him go
No

He smiles at you so sweetly, you fall for him completely
And you won't think twice

BLUE EYED BOY  (music/lyrics by S.Morgan, drum arrangement B.Bergen)
 © Little Phoenix 2009

My blue eyed boy - I did believe
My blue eyed boy – he did deceive
My blue eyed boy is gone
He left me here to cry
My blue eyed boy has done me wrong
But he was worthless all along
My blue eyed boy, deceitful one, so long, bye bye

I'll never understand the way you chose to be
Had you been a braver man, by now we'd all be free
Was it just a game that you thought you had to play?
Or is the truth of it you found it more
Convenient this way?

I thought I could trust my blue eyed boy
Thought my blue eyed boy was good
Thought he was choosing right over wrong
Turns out he never would

Ready to be moulded into shapes you shouldn't be
Ready, keen and glad to set aside integrity
Memories count for nothing stacked beside
Those dollar bills
Had I not caught you lying
You'd be lying to me still

I thought I could trust my blue eyed boy
Thought my blue eyed boy was good
Thought he was choosing right over wrong
Turns out he never would

He only cared if he thought he could take
The very last crumb from the stack
My blue eyed boy might be feeling sorry now
And you'll be sorry if you dare come back

My blue eyed boy - I did believe
My blue eyed boy – he did deceive
My blue eyed boy is gone
He left me here to cry
My blue eyed boy has done me wrong
But you were worthless all along
My blue eyed boy, deceitful one, so long, bye bye

REVIVED   (music/lyrics by S.Morgan)  © Little Phoenix 2009

This journey never ends not while breath exists in me
I found myself here, from the bright lights of the city
To the country space, with still no place
That I could call my own

My heart has lain in pieces, but I couldn't let that
break me
I still could find some light when the darkness tried
to make me
Lose my way
Back then I fought to save my own life everyday

If I can't believe in angels then I can't believe in me
I can feel their magic in the breeze
I can hear their singing in the beating of my heart
And I need to share the gift they shared with me
Love will out last eternity

The marvel of our lives is not through its living
But the love we feel inside and the power of its giving
Is what we leave behind
A memento that came from the other side?

If I can't believe in angels then I can't believe in me
I can feel their magic in the breeze
I can hear their singing in the beating of my heart
And I need to share the gift they shared with me
Love will out last eternity

JOURNEYMAN (music/lyrics by S.Morgan) © Little Phoenix 2009

One step, then another
Put one foot in front of the other
Though your shakin' bones are achin'
One day you'll recover
You won't find the peace to rest in
The journeyman won't give his blessing
Leaving it all up to you
Whatcha gonna do?

Just take one step, then another
Put one foot in front of the other
Though your shakin' bones are achin'
One day you'll recover
You gotta find a new direction
The journeyman provides protection
Only if your soul is true
Now it's up to you

One step, then another
Put one foot in front of the other
Though your shakin' bones are achin'
One day you'll recover
You won't find the peace to rest in
The journeyman won't give his blessing
Leaving it all up to you
Whatcha gonna do?

Just take one step, then another
Put one foot in front of the other
Though your shakin' bones are achin'
One day you'll recover
You gotta find a new direction
The journeyman provides protection
Only if your soul is true
Now it's up to you

LIVE FOR ME  (music/lyrics by S.Morgan) © Little Phoenix 2009

Before you leave this place you cannot face
The demons in your mind won't let you find your space
You're feeling small, got no strength at all
You've decided you've got nothing left worth living for
Please remember there's somebody here who cares about you
Life would be the poorer if this world's without you
Don't leave. You know I'd grieve
If you don't want to live for you
Please live for me

The love you cannot feel has been revealed
It doesn't mean the love we send to you isn't real
My eyes long to see you being free
Precious soul inside of you, please smile at me
Please remember there's somebody here who cares about you
Life would be the poorer if this world's without you
Don't leave. We all would grieve.
If you can't hold on for long, then reach for me

And I know your hopes are fading with
Those dusty winds of change
And I feel you disconnecting from us all to hide your pain
Your pride is just too hollow,
Your pride's too much to swallow
If only you were brave and reached for me
I would show you how the world is meant to be

Please remember there's somebody here who cares about you
Life would be the poorer if this world's without you
Don't leave. We all would grieve
If you can't hold on for long then reach for me

Before you leave this place you cannot face
The demons in your mind won't let you find your space
You're feeling small, got no strength at all
Please remember that there's nothing here
Worth dying for . . .

LULLABY (music/lyrics by S.Morgan)     © Little Phoenix 2009

There's a man, there's a man, there's a man
And he's doing the best that he can
Though he tries and he fails
His story prevails
He will rise, he will rise, he will rise

There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl
And her heart's been broken by this world
Though her faith isn't strong, she's holding on
She will shine, she will shine, she will shine

Let your dream of tomorrow be your strength for today
While your burden is hurting you can throw it away

There's a dream, there's a dream, there's a dream
And it's born in a world that's unseen
In our hearts lie the seeds of glorious dreams
Dare to try, dare to cry and you'll fly
Dare to try, dare to cry and you'll fly

Let your dream of tomorrow be your strength for today
While your burden is hurting you can throw it away

There's a dream, there's a dream, there's a dream
And it's born in a world that's unseen
In our hearts lie the seeds of glorious dreams
Dare to try, dare to cry and you'll fly
Dare to try, dare to cry and you'll fly

THIS TOWN (music/lyrics by S.Morgan) © Little Phoenix 2009

Found myself here in this town
I was blown in like a tumbleweed
In a God forsaken storm

The cold and hardened faces didn't warn me
Though I should have known
The shadows in their eyes and their hearts made out of stone

Lord protect my soul from this town
I'm breaking bread with the creator
And it falls on poisoned ground
Where is the light I'm s'posed to shine?
There's a darkness in this town that isn't mine

I didn't have that much to start over
But the little that I had was quickly stripped away
Helped seemed to be on its way
But I was falling on my sword . . . falling on my sword
The price for their assistance was more than I could afford

Oh Lord protect my soul,
Oh Lord protect my soul,
Oh Lord protect my soul from this town
I'm breaking bread with the creator
And it falls on poisoned ground
Where is the light I'm s'posed to shine?
There's a darkness in this town that isn't mine
There's a darkness in this town that isn't mine
