WALK
© 2003 Dianna Burrup
It’s so easy when we don’t walk
So easy when we don’t step one with another
So easy when we just talk
All around it, all about it, just to figure it out
Chorus: Hold your own life in your hand
and you’ll understand
See the truth of where we’ve been
And for a moment in time, a brief moment
We walk
It’s so easy inside the madness
Doing all the same things watching nothing go by
Take shade in the Sunday masses
Barely seeing, hardly hearing -- from the noise inside
(Chorus)
Bridge: Children walk with hopeful eyes
As we walk through our shades
It’s right or wrong, we must be strong
It’s win defeat, so bittersweet
Another place to go, another way to see
just step out of your own way, and walk
It’s so easy when we don’t walk
So easy when we don’t step one with the other

TRUTH
© 2003 Dianna Burrup
Some will dance with freedom
Life taken from the grave
And through the choice of freedom
Find a peace of their own way
Some will whisper loudly
And still cannot be heard
But prayers are answered softly
Bringing light into their world
Chorus: But some pass on with secrets
Buried just beneath the breath
And none will be the wiser
Of the silent words they kept
(Aah, Aaaah)
Many speak too harshly
With words that never land
They touch the edge of all they know
To find themselves, again
(Chorus)
Bridge: Those who speak so clearly
Shoot straight into the heart
To reach beyond known meaning
To the core of who we are
(Chorus)
Tag: Some will dance with freedom
Some will whisper loudly
Many speak too harshly
Those that see so clearly
And some pass on with secrets

WONDER
©2003 Dianna Burrup
She grabbed a rope and took a swing, far away
Now it’s time to walk around again
Took some time for herself -- in the middle of her life
Seemed like the perfect thing to do
Chorus: She can’t see through the pourin’ change
But she wonders
A fleeting thought can feel so strange –
Sounds like thunder in her heart
When seasons come for the snow again
She’ll step outside with her bare feet on ...
And she’ll wonder ... she’ll wonder
Waking up on solid ground, firmly looking
Children couldn’t move until she -- tied their shoes
She lived most of her life in a liquid paper bottle
Where all the world appeared so sane
(Chorus)
Bridge: Running through life,
racing to get to somewhere else
And tripping over all the signs
Where all wrongs are wiped away,
and all lies are forgiven
Just in the nick, nick of time
Chorus: Can’t see through the pourin’ change
But she wonders
A fleeting thought can feel so strange –
Sounds like thunder in her heart
When seasons come for the snow again
She’ll step outside with her bare feet on ...
She’ll step outside with her bare feet on ...
And she’ll wonder ...

Forgive Again
© 2003 Dianna Burrup (Inspired by the great wisdom of Cheri Huber. )
Are you waiting for me,
or are you waiting there for you
Are you seeing me
or is it just the way you feel
Is it cloudy there
or can you see through all that was
and has been — till now
Pre Chorus: Can you just feel it; can you just be there
Chorus: How many times do you come back
Just so you can move on
And forgive yourself again, again .......
Are you sad for me
or is it just the pain inside
that flows from all that’s sacred
Do you want for more
or do you have all you need
to make it through another day ... just one more day
Pre Chorus: Can you just feel it; Can you just be there
Can you just feel it; Can you just be there
Chorus: How many times do you come back
Just so you can move on
And forgive yourself
How many times do you come back
Just so you can move on,
just so I can move on,
just so we can move on
And forgive ourselves, again
End: Again .... Oooh, again ... Ooooh, again

MATTER OF MIND
© 2005 Dianna Burrup/Suzie Perryman
Fading in and out
with those that care what I think
No rhyme or reason to fly away
it’s just a matter of mind
Lonely, sad and afraid
Is a story stuck in time
Waiting, Watching
It’s all just a matter of mind
Chorus: Who’s voice,
who’s voice am I hearing
Oh, the possibilities
Underneath it all I’m fallin’
Pictures before my eyes
This life, this life that I’m living
Oh, it’s a matter of
Matter of mind....
Waking up around
The time it takes to to steer clear
Back down to earth and around again
It’s just a matter of mind
Reminders everywhere
Of what we already know
No time for wishin’ it all away
It’s all just a matter of mind
Chorus x 2

Shining Through
© 2005 Music: Dianna Burrup and Lyrics: Scott Bradshaw
The depths linger black and cold
Draped in darkness deep and old
And those ancient rocks still beckon you
Watch instead the gentle arc
Spiraling up so high
Watch its luminescence
Watch it reach the sky
If your eyes deceive you
If your ears no longer hear
Reach out and seek that beacon now
For you can’t escape its glow
And when the light comes shining through
That’s when you’ll finally realize
That the light is really you
Listen as it whispers
Words of peace that sound so right
And somehow that arc it pulses
Like a beacon in the night,
like a beacon in the night
You can’t escape its glow
And when the light comes shining through
That’s when you’ll finally realize
That the light is really you
AdLib: Yes, the light is you
(the light is shining through)
Come dazzling bright
Tag: Listen as it whispers
Can your ears still hear this song?

YOU DON’T KNOW ME
©2000 Suzie Perryman (Q) and Dianna Burrup
I can feel the whisper, your name to my heart
But sure as the wind does blow, you don’t know me
Live a life of the dreamer, stay inside of it,
have a pride that won’t let go
Need a love that’s whole and forgiving,
and a lover that wants to know who I am
We can look inside for tenderness,
hope and pray there’s more
Waste our breath on promises, even the score,
will we ever?
Oh I love you, Oh I need you so
But sure as the sun will shine, you don’t know me
Stand beside this wall counting off,
as we read between the lines
Yes I miss you, yes I miss you,
will there ever come a time for us?
Oh I love you, Oh I need you so
Believe in my heart, I will come to you
Believe in the miracle, it’s here for you,
my heart is here for you
Oh, I need you so
We can reach out for the answers to
or question every move we make
Push our hearts to the limit of, who’s right or wrong,
do we belong?
We can Look inside for tenderness,
hope and pray there’s more (please be more)
Hand out empty promises, even the score, will we ever?
End: There’s a power that feeds inside,no mistaking it’s real
Sure as the stars come and go, you don’t know me ...

ORANGE IN THE FUTURE
© 2003 Dianna Burrup
Locked in notions -- from the ones who raised me
Hand to the mouth -- so no words came
Ears wide open -- listening to music
Take it in - then, let it flow right through me
It scared me badly, felt a pain in my chest
Thought I saw an evil on the face of a friend
Hard to hold it in my mind for very long
Guess I’m not so strong, after all
Take it in - then, let it flow right through me
Bridge: Where does it go -- all those sounds?
When does it hide -- all that anger?
And how do we find -- all our dreams?
There’s orange in the future -- I saw it in a dream
She wore a straw hat -- a real beauty queen
She had a big flower in the palm of her hand
A yellow sunflower -- on her dark, dark skin
Take it in - then, let it flow right through me
There’s orange in the future -- I saw it in a dream
There’s orange in the future -- I saw it in a dream
