She Whispers 04:22
SHE WHISPERS Latifah Phillips, Moda Spira Publishing (SESAC) When the day is swallowed And your chest is hallow Your defenses down She is the loudest sound Oooo, How she whispers Oooo, How she whispers Oooo, How she whispers to you Cloaked in her shadow Her darkness bellows The color of the day quickly fades into grey Oooo, How she whispers Oooo, How she whispers Oooo, How she whispers to you There’s a light, there’s a light no shadow There’s a light, there’s a light no shadow, oh There’s a light, there’s a light no shadow, oh Can touch, can touch, can touch She can touch

In the Fight 05:30
IN THE FIGHT Latifah Phillips, Moda Spira Publishing (SESAC) In the fight, when I’ve lost my might To keep calm and carry on And will you really love all of me? When you see The darker things that lie underneath, me My demons are coming out, coming out, coming out My demons are coming out, coming out, coming out And they’re so, loud They’re so loud In the fight, when you’ve lost your might To keep calm and carry on And will I really love all of you? When nothing’s new With the darker things that come into view of you Your demons are coming out, coming out, coming out Your demons are coming out, coming out, coming out And they’re so loud They’re so loud Our demons are coming out, coming out, coming out (In the fight, when I’ve lost my might) Our demons are coming out, coming out, coming out (To keep calm and carry on) And they’re so loud (And will you really love all of me? When you see?) They’re so loud (The darker things that lie underneath, me)

SHAKING THE WALLS Jason Lehning, Topline/BMG-Chrysalis o.b.o. Tastes Like Chicken (BMI) David Cameron Wilton, Loud Harp Publishing (SESAC) Latifah Phillips, Moda Spira Publishing (SESAC) I hear your echo in the wind Carrying my sails across the tide I have to try, I have to try I will do anything and I Never close my eyes through the night The glowing sky, will be my guide And I, will go, cross lines To worlds I've never known And I, will overthrow divides Shaking the walls, shaking the walls Shaking the walls, shaking the walls The waves are crashing at my side, Never giving way through the night Can't close my eyes, won't close my eyes I’ll keep them fixed on the mark, Keeping me from drifting away And I, will go, cross lines To worlds I've never known And I, will overthrow divides Shaking the walls, shaking the walls Shaking the walls, shaking the walls Hear it loud, falling to the ground Here and now, walls are coming down Hear it loud, falling to the ground Here and now, walls are coming down And I, will go, cross lines To worlds I've never known And I, will overthrow divides Shaking the walls, shaking the walls Shaking the walls, shaking the walls

Bet On Me 03:58
BET ON ME Latifah Phillips, Moda Spira Publishing (SESAC) Jordan Brooke Hamlin, Here Comes Moses (ASCAP) Baby you just gotta bet, on me Maybe you should take some time To clear mind and think it over Baby you just gotta bet, on me Me and You Love it isn’t love at all, If it bends with every turn So keep your eyes fixed ahead Pass the point of no return Can we break the chains of history? Letting go of the who we use to be Baby you just gotta bet, on me Maybe you should take some time To clear mind and think it over Baby you just gotta bet, on me Me and You If storms are coming, let them come They’re just as certain as the sun So leave your worried mind to rest Everybody comes undone When the aching hits your heart again Can you make a way to me again? I don’t wanna talk about it Baby it’s not something new Troubled waters rise and fall but I know we can make it through Baby you just gotta bet, on me Maybe you should take some time To clear mind and think it over Baby you just gotta bet, on me Me and You Me and You Me and You

The Hard Way 04:18
THE HARD WAY Latifah Phillips, Moda Spira Publishing (SESAC) Everybody learns the hard way, baby There’s no easy way, no if, buts, or maybes When you’re paralyzed and your at your end Grab a hold of me I will understand Everybody learns the hard way baby I know you’re fractured, the bones are broken You have to reset it You made mistakes, you lost your way And now you regret it I know you already know, that it takes time to grow ‘Cause everybody learns the hard way, baby There’s no easy way, no if, buts, or maybes When you’re paralyzed and your at your end Grab a hold of me I will understand Everybody learns the hard way baby All I want to do is be here with you With all your edges on display All I want to do is be here with you You’re not alone, no, not today Even if you try And you can’t get by, oh I will be at your side, I’ll be at your side You’re not alone, no, not today

WHAT YOU NEED Latifah Phillips, Moda Spira Publishing (SESAC) When you can't pick up the pieces And all you really need is Someone to help you withstand All the pain and grief that swallow You up until you can't tow This line where the sea meets the sand  I'll be what you need when your are weak I'll be what you need when you are weak There are days when we are weary And life just gets too heavy The seconds seem to pass so slow But what they say is really true love Our wounds can really heal up Though the scars will always show I'll be what you need when your are weak I'll be what you need when you are weak I know it’s burning But time will keep turning Hang in there love, I know it’s unknown I'll be what you need when your are weak I'll be what you need when you are weak

REMEMBER LOVE Latifah Phillips, Moda Spira Publishing (SESAC) Jordan Brooke Hamlin, Here Comes Moses (ASCAP) Faded souls let out there little sighs The darkness lies no day resides Nothing stirs, oh, the sun won’t turn Passion dies, behind these idle bars When holy wings are useless things All valor gone, no swords are drawn Ooh, remember love, remember love No war’s out run, what’s done is done Ooh, remember love, remember love, What once was lost, oh can still be sought Fires die the embers will not flame The things we burn, all slowly fade Into the ground, as we look around Hurried hands will grasp at any crown When hope is spent, songs of lament Now leave our tongues, no war’s out run Ooh, remember love, remember love No war’s out run, what’s done is done Ooh, remember love, remember love, What once was lost, oh can still be sought We wait on night to pass into day As we cast our eyes on this sea of grey We won’t lay down in early graves this time There may be a day ahead When man will bend to the night’s dark end We won’t lay down in early graves this time. (I hear it beating in your chest…)

We Belong 04:33
WE BELONG Latifah Phillips, Moda Spira Publishing (SESAC) Jordan Brooke Hamlin, Here Comes Moses (ASCAP) I don’t understand how it all goes How to make sense of all your woes And i don’t really understand how to make you feel Less weighed down And I don’t really know why our hopes dissolve How pain can make us lose our own resolve And I don’t really understand what it all means When the bad guys seem to get away clean And I, will try, try my best To hold, the line, ease your mind from distress We belong to one another’s arms We belong together tethered strong We belong Even when your day turns and stops in place While everyone around you just keeps their pace I will stand with you when your world won’t move And keep your ground As I’m losing my ground I can hear a faint sound Of you patiently singing out Those three words you repeat (And I, will try, try my best) You won’t give up on me (To hold, the line) Building upon my frail beliefs (Ease your mind from distress) Oh oh, no I’m not alone We belong to one another’s arms We belong together tethered strong We belong
12.
WE CAN THREAD THE NEEDLE Latifah Phillips, Moda Spira Publishing (SESAC) Jordan Brooke Hamlin, Here Comes Moses (ASCAP) We can thread, the needle, you and I We can thread, the needle, you and I Our feet are tracing now A way we know so well It wears me down Here we go again If not now, then when Will we remember? When the road dead ends That’s when our hearts must bend We can thread, the needle, you and I We can thread, the needle, you and I My eyes are tracing now The lines I know so well Around your brow Now I see it bend With that look you send A sweet reminder When the road dead ends That’s when our hearts must bend We can thread, the needle, you and I We can thread, the needle, you and I We can thread, the needle, you and I We can thread, the needle, you and I You and I You and I You and I
