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 Copyright © 2010

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 Copyright © 2010

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 Copyright © 2010

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 Copyright © 2010

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 Copyright © 2010

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 Copyright © 2010

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… Copyright © 2010

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”? Copyright © 2010

Pursuit 04:24

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? Copyright © 2010

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 Copyright © 2010

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.

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? Copyright © 2010

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 Copyright © 2010

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 Copyright © 2010

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) Copyright © 2010

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 Copyright © 2010
