HEARTS OF STONE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Notice the callous strong,
making his mark and so
Preys on the weakest one,
takes every path he knows
Rock beneath what’s shown
Is the man who’s undisclosed
Walking among the crowd,
blending with everyone
Befriending the man in need,
deprive him of everything
He pretends to be
Co-ops your reality
Every time he sees you
He repeats the same
Confirms his state of grim
He confines his life to shame
Every time he sees you
He repeats the same
Confirms his state of grim
He confines his life to shame
Break up hearts of stone
Chip away at the pieces
Bring down the high places
Break up hearts of stone
Chip away at the pieces
Bring down the high places
Reject anyone who comes
with lie on the tip of tongue
Speaking the things untrue;
ways to distort your view
Hold your position,
You have every reason to
Beware of the selfish who
alters his way with you
Looks for someone to fool,
deception’s his favorite tool
He will never show
That his heart is made of stone
Every time he sees you
He repeats the same
Confirms his state of grim
He confines his life to shame
Every time he sees you
He repeats the same
Confirms his state of grim
He confines his life to shame
Break up hearts of stone
Chip away at the pieces
Bring down the high places
Break up hearts of stone
Chip away at the pieces
Bring down the high places

WHAT, HOW, WHY, WHEN
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
What, how, why, when
Who, where does it (all) fit in?
I can’t figure out
What this is all about
Tell me what makes the world go round
And everything that’s up, come down
What frames the time into a day
And makes the clock then tick away
How does the ocean steadily run?
And slowly hides a descending sun
How do the rays know when to leave?
Dimming the light at the brink of eve
What makes the world go round
Spinning around and round
Keeping all things we need
Centered by gravity
Why does my shadow follow behind?
Casting itself as a form defined
What makes my mind forget a thing?
And bring it back to memory
What courage does a brave man have?
Throwing his rock and hiding his hand
How is it easy for him to deny
Who can know the what, how, and why?
What makes the world go round
Spinning around and round
Keeping all things we need
Centered by gravity
What, how, why, when
Who, where does it (all) fit in?
I can’t figure out
What this is all about

ONE BY ONE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
One by One.
Two by Two.
Sometimes (how can) we win?
Sometimes (how can) we lose?
How can we say humanity belongs to us?
When we destroy what God gave us?
Day by Day,
Count up the cost
The lives we’ve kept,
The ones we’ve lost
How can we say humanity belongs to us?
When we destroy what God gave us?
You make the choice to be the one
To hold your brother in your arms
To wipe his tears and calm his fears
To make him strong and right his wrong
One by one, one by one
One by one
Our mighty fall
A weakened arm will hold no more
And none will come around
In time to take their place
The precious life that held their space
The time will come soon or late
And we may have to contemplate
We’ll give account,
For all our days are past in golden frames
The things we’ve done,
The lives we’ve changed
You make the choice to be the one
To hold you brother in your arms
To wipe his tears and calm his fears
To make him strong and right his wrong
One by one, one by one
You make the choice to keep him safe
To guard his life with yours in place
And One by One we all become
The ones who lose the battles won
One by one, one by one

COLOR OF THE WIND
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
To many eyes, I may seem strange
To more or less, I am taboo
To very few, I may not change
I wonder how I look to you
Do you see the scars that are on my face?
What about the smile that isn’t straight
Can you tell my heart’s in a lonely place
In need of strength in its current state
Make me the color of the wind
Where eyes won’t see my many flaws again
Hide my hurts and where I’ve been
Then I won’t have to pretend
My words may be better received
If I become what they can’t see
Make my voice the sound of breeze
So they won’t know it comes from me
Do you think that I could be something else?
Imperceptible… and no one can tell
Catching falling hearts that my hands upheld
Cause my only place is for someone’s help
Make me the color of the wind
Where eyes won’t see my many flaws again
Hide my hurts and where I’ve been
Then I won’t have to pretend
I’ll meet the sun upon a flower
And see a perfect bloom
When I blend with a summer’s shower
A mended heart’s perfume
I’ll see the moon
set on the waters
And cast a twilight glow
And the gleam of the stars will follow

ALREADY THERE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Wherever you go, I will be there
Wherever you are, I’m already there
Whenever you call
Before you fall
Before you can ask,
Before your past
You were already in my plan
If you were to rest in a secret place
Where no one could find your hideaway
I’d be your night
Light for your day
In your solitude
I am with you
Before your journey began
I’m already there whenever you call me
I’m there before you call me
I’m already there whenever you call me
I’m there before you call me
I am the IS who was to be
Among the oracle wise, they spoke of me
From age to age
In the stillness of time
The dark about me
No one can find
Because I have not disclosed it to man
I’m already there whenever you call me
I’m there before you call me
I’m already there whenever you call me
I’m there before you call me

BAD FREQUENCY
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
I miss (mix) your signs
You talk to me in double tongue
You tell me one thing
And follow with another one
I can’t rely on
Anything I understand
I keep on hearing
Frequencies in different bands
Why should we create these vibes?
Talking past each other’s minds
Sometimes I say things
In hopes to amuse you
Distorted kilohertz
They instead confuse you
You can’t depend on
Everything you hear or see
Because it’s wrapped in
Levels of bad frequency
Why should we create these vibes?
Talking past each other’s minds
Do you hear me now?
Do you get it now?
Should I say it loud?
What about now?
Maybe I can talk to you
And you can respond to me
I just hope we understand
Even through bad frequency
Maybe I can talk to you
And you can respond to me
I just hope we understand
Even through bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
Maybe I can talk to you
And you can respond to me
I just hope we understand
Even through bad frequency
Maybe I can talk to you
And you can respond to me
I just hope we understand
Even through bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency
We’ve got, we’ve got, we’ve got bad frequency

REACHING
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
I keep reaching out to you
Even though you’re nowhere near
I’m holding on to what I knew
Hoping you will meet me here
Will I see you? No one knows
It makes it hard to find you when
I come and go to not impose
And time moves on from now to then
So I’m keeping my heart open for you
And I’ll be dreaming of a life that will be true
If I could find you…
I close my eyes and in my mind
You’re always here to no surprise
But is this real or just a show
Tell me how and where to go (to come and go)
No sign that you will come today
I trust that maybe somehow still
We’ll meet somewhere between halfway
But where and how I cannot tell
I’ll keep reaching for what belongs to me
In a world of impossibilities
I will find you…
Searching through realities,
Endless dreams and vanities
Wandering through empty schemes
Making you my daily theme
One thing I intend to do
Is somehow make my way to you
Even if it takes forever
You’re the one I will pursue
I’ll keep reaching for what belongs to me
In a world of impossibilities
I will find you…

WHAT ABOUT WE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Sometimes I close my blinds,
Open my eyes to see the light
What’s day from night,
What’s wrong from right?
Then I try to contemplate all of the reasons
The world is just falling to pieces
So hard to conceive
I refuse to believe we’ll let evil destroy us
When before us we’ve got nothing but love
What about you? What about me?
What about “we the people”?
United we stand, divided we fall
What about peace? What about war?
What about now? What about before?
What about the future
and what it has in store for us?
Sometimes I search myself
And pray for help when each morning starts
I refuse to judge someone else;
Only God knows what’s in our hearts.
Why must we…
Always hate and discriminate
And keep tearing each one apart
You know things have got to change
And it’s not too late for us to start
What about you?
What about you? What about me?
What about “we the people”?
United we stand, divided we fall
What about peace? What about war?
What about now? What about before?
What about the future
and what it has in store for us?
You can start with me
Cast a beam out of my eye
What about you? What about me?
What about “we the people”?
United we stand, divided we fall
What about peace? What about war?
What about now? What about before?
What about the future
and what it has in store for us?
You can start with me.
Cast the beam out of my eye.
I eeeey Ieeeeey I yaaaahhh (4x)
What about you? What about me?
What about “we the people”?
United we stand, divided we fall
What about peace? What about war?
What about now? What about before?
What about the future
and what it has in store for us?
What about “we the people, we the people”?

Pursuit

PURSUIT
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Everyday I’d buy myself
more time if I only could
Push time back a little further,
stand on line beyond the point I should
Steady hand, a little stronger
Maybe it won’t be much longer
Before something I embrace,
Is the thing that I replace
In pursuit of all the dreams
That seem so far away from me, God knows
Make concessions as I go;
And deny what’s fair to me, it shows
Keep the truth, release the lies
Pray my tears will dry my eyes
So that I can see the shades
Right before they fade
If I decide to take a dare
and I lose,
Who’s to say that I have failed
in my pursuit?
If I decide to take a dare
and I lose,
Who’s to say that I have failed
in my pursuit?
Time again I think about
The chances that I chose to take
Notwithstanding compromise,
In retrospect, it’s my mistake
Walk away from what I do
Sometimes to win, I’ve gotta lose
So that I can stay above
Make due with just enough
I’ll keep true to my pursuit,
Even if I take a slower pace
A steady slow is what I know
Will lead me closer to another place
Step by step I’ll move along
Every trace I leave is gone
What else is there to find
I leave nothing behind
If I decide to take a dare
and I lose
Who’s to say that I have failed
in my pursuit?
If I decide to take a dare
and I lose
Who’s to say that I have failed
in my pursuit?

MY FACE AGAIN
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
My life is still in session
And I haven’t time to waste
So I’m keeping my momentum
As I move from place to place
Events have changed my course
To a path that’s been derailed
A road that long divorced
My triumph from my fails
Life will take us on a spin
When we come back from where we’ve been
You will hear my voice and then
You will see my face again
Days have gone between
Interesting what we’ve become
More than what we dreamed
When we thought we were not strong
Looking back it all appears
That this end was not so far
Yet we still have miles from here
A long way from where we are
Life will take us on a spin
When we come back from where we’ve been
You will hear my voice and then
You will see my face again
Life will take us on a spin
When we come back from where we’ve been
You will hear my voice and then
You will see my face again

PACTS WE MAKE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Remember the plans we made yesterday?
We promised to let them be
Should you get there before I do
You promised to wait for me
Don't cross that bridge till I get there...
Till I get there, wait for me
Don't take a chance, let's be prepared.
So till I get there, wait for me
Should fate decide to turn things around,
I hope to still be true
God only knows the intent of my heart
I plan to wait for you
We'll cross that bridge when I get there...
When I get there, that’s what we'll do
We'll keep our pact and say our prayer.
Though we be two, we'll see it through
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate
These are the pacts we make
We promised to let them be
These are the pacts we make
I’ll wait for you, you wait for me
These are the pacts we make
Should things take a turn, I hope to be true
These are the pacts we make
God knows I plan to wait for you
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate
These are the pacts we make
We've thought them through.
When time says it’s too late
There will be no debate, don’t hesitate

WHOLE WORLD
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
What would you say if I
Gave you the whole world for a day
Who would you love?
Who would you save?
What would you say to me should I
Ask you to shelter your enemy
From the cold
And from the rain
Bear the weight of another
When there’s nothing to gain
The world has treasures new
But nothing belongs to you
How do I know that you will
Keep the promises you tell?
Should I then trust that you can
Lead this whole world?
Tell me which hearts to mend should you
Carry the world’s burdens in your hand
Would it be some?
Or maybe just one
If I left you alone could you
Protect the weaker man from the strong
Who would you right?
From those who were wrong?
Bear the weight of another
When there’s nothing to gain
The world has treasures new
But nothing belongs to you
How do I know that you will
Keep the promises you tell?
Should I then trust that you can
Lift this whole world?
And if dark shadows follow
Can you brighten tomorrow?
Should I then trust that you could
Lead this whole world?

INK DRY BLUE
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Got a note to give you
I’m not really done
Only writing pieces
A letter just for fun
Words are somewhat simple
It’s taking me a while
To write firm or fickle
Thoughts to make you smile
Put a word on paper
It’s already gone
Scribbled in the air; can’t
See it in the sun
Have to start all over
Letters fly away
Windy days will take them
Messages will fade
Put a word on paper
Let the ink dry blue
Send it with a header
I’ll know it comes from you
If you want to
You can write me back
We can just be pen pals
Tell me how you like that
Put it in a bottle
Throw it in the sea
I’ll wait by the water
It’ll get to me
And if you think your letter
Will be held up in the deep
Make your message shorter
So the weight won’t make it sink
Give it time to get here
Longer than a day
Time will travel faster
If you have less to say
Put a word on paper
Let the ink dry blue
Send it with a header
I’ll know it comes from you
Write it on paper
Shade of darker blue
Keeps the word from fading
Let the ink dry blue
I’ll be waiting still
When the message comes
In a bottle filled
With the morning sum
I’ll be waiting still
I’ll be waiting still
I’ll be waiting still
I’ll be waiting still
Put it in a bottle
Throw it in the sea
I’ll wait be the water
It’ll get to me
Shade of darker hue
Let the ink dry blue

I WANNA COME HOME
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
It was abrupt,
I remember the day clearly
Dropped my head,
Walked until nothing I knew was near me
Forged ahead to make a new way
Looking to fill a void, no reason to stay
Been here a while,
waiting my heart’s mending
To reflect, a life that
I’ve come to regret and yet
What I thought wasn’t right is the love that I
Never thought would be mine
Unresolved,
left some loose ends behind me
Thought I knew,
some things I just accepted blindly
Need to go back, miss what we had
Marking our days ahead, so many plans
I’ve come to find,
made a mistake in leaving
You alone,
please show me a way to return back home
Where my heart confides and my secrets lie
Revealed in your eyes
Where can I find you to stand beside you?
Wonder how that would be
And if when I call you fail to answer
What’s to become of me?
How do I get back to you?
Which road would lead to the truth?
Show me how to get back to you
Show me how to get back to you
Show me how to get back to you
Tell me what I need to do (anticipating)
Gotta find my way
I just wanna come home
I’ve been gone too long
I just wanna come home
Where can I find you to stand beside you?
Wonder how that would be
And if when I call you fail to answer
What’s to become of me?
How do I get back to you?
Which road would lead to the truth?
Show me how to get back to you
Show me how to get back to you
Show me how to get back to you
Tell me what I need to do
Gotta find my way
I just wanna come home
I’ve been gone too long
I just wanna come home

BETRAYER
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
They call you the betrayer
As if you’re the only one
But someone else knows what you did
Was what had to be done
They say you were an evil man;
Your actions proved it true
Chosen for that dreadful role
That you were born to do
It would have been someone else
had it not been you
Probably would have done the same
If I had your shoes
I’d curse the day that I was born
A life I did not choose (did not choose)
How could you know that you would be
In this eternal plan
A tool to name in infamy
In war for soul of man
It would have been someone else
had it not been you
We curse your name with our last breath
The one to blame for the Lord’s death
Who loved a world, which he did frame
His honor replaced and reduced to shame
And if I had your lot and His fate were sealed
My run would seem eternal to Potter’s field
I could not bear the weight, I would agonize
And wonder how could I live this (dreadful) life
That someone could have been me.
Dreadful life(Dreadful life)
That someone could have been me
Dreadful life
Could have been me had it not been you
They call you the betrayer
As if you’re the only one
But someone else knows what you did
Was what had to be done
They say you were an evil man;
Your actions proved it true
Chosen for that dreadful role
That you were born to do
It would have been someone else
had it not been you
I probably would have done the same
If I had your shoes
I’d curse the day that I was born
A life I did not choose (choose)
How could you know that you would be
In this eternal plan
A tool to name in infamy
In war for soul of man
It would have been someone else
had it not been you
It would have been someone else
had it not been you (Betrayer, Betrayer, Betrayer)
It would have been someone else
had it not been you (Betrayer, Betrayer, Betrayer)
It would have been me
had it not been you (Betrayer, Betrayer)

BOARDWALK
Written by: Glaurys Ariass, Helsa Ariass, and EARTHA
Lay a wooden path
Beneath the arches of my feet
Let it run above
The raging waters of the sea
I cover endless road
Whenever I take a short walk
Mark my tears along
The splintered boardwalk as they fall
There’s a place where I can go
Bearing everything I know
I send my hopes about as high
Under the cotton candy sky
Meet me here alone
Where none can hear you comfort me
Over clash of stone
You weigh my voice a heavy plea
On wooden planks of coffee
Stroll along and make small talk
Strangers passing by
Keep my course on this boardwalk
You’ve been here for quite some time
Washed away by rising tide
Keep returning to these shores
Till I see you fade no more
Where birds fly free
Waters run deep
Take me to the boardwalk
Never to soon
To come meet you
Headed to the boardwalk
Watch the sun set
Right where we met
Take me to the boardwalk
Though time will show
Your weary road
I’ll be on the boardwalk
Really doesn’t matter who comes or goes
I’ll be here when no one shows
At the boardwalk; at the boardwalk
Wherever I go, you’ll be on my mind
Think about how we shared our time
At the boardwalk; at the boardwalk
Wherever I am, you will always be
Steady boardwalk beneath my feet
At the boardwalk; at the boardwalk
