Run With You - KINLEY You’ve always got me singing the hooks Even though I don’t know how to sing. But you just make it so damn easy and I wanna drop everything. I wanna throw my hair in my face. Your dark energy it captivates. But I know I saw you light up a dark space I wanted just to tell you thanks. You are the coolest girl I’ve ever seen. You are the girl I dreamed that I would be. But my dorky smile got the better of me. But I think I turned out anyway. I’ll turn the speakers up and let ‘em shake. I was reading all the words you wrote. I found them in a Rolling Stone. I was reading all the words you spoke, I found them in a Rolling Stone. I just wanna run with you tonight. I just wanna run with you. I just wanna run with you tonight. I just wanna run with you. I know how hard it can be today. They’re always looking when you look away. But they just wanna see you, wanna be you, Wanna feel the power of your gaze. You take my anger and you throw in rage. Calm and cool you open up my cage. But soon I’m laughing and thrashing. I turn the speakers up and let ‘em shake. I turn the speakers up and let ‘em shake. I was reading all the words you wrote, I found them in a Rolling Stone. I was reading all the words you spoke. I found them in a Rolling Stone. I just wanna run with you tonight. I just wanna run with you. I just wanna run with you tonight. I just wanna run with you. I just wanna run with you tonight. I just wanna run with you. I just wanna run with you tonight. I just wanna run with you.

Tuesday’s Child - KINLEY Slidin’ in the back row. Trying just to fit in. I’m bigger than the other guys. So I’m slouching with my girlfriends. I don’t know myself yet I’m just trying to make it. I know I’ll find my way, until then I’ll fake it. Some people wanna cut me down Try not to listen, try to shut em out. I’m gonna grow into something big. Something bigger than they know about. ‘Cause I am Tuesday’s child, I’m full of grace. And all these anxious thoughts I cannot trace. So I’ll keep dancing in the middle of the room by myself. ‘Cause I love dancing in the middle of the room with nobody else. There is so much more to be Like swimming in the Tasman sea Or hanging at your friend’s house Doing your makeup and then going out You’ll always have these memories, You’ll always have them when you are in need. (Just remember to breathe. Just remember to breathe.) ‘Cause I am Tuesday’s child, I’m full of grace. And all these anxious thoughts I cannot trace. So I’ll keep dancing in the middle of the room by myself. Yes I love dancing in the middle of the room with nobody else. Anxious, shy and two weeks late, I never learned to deal with hate. It was a new moon overhead. And a snowstorm they said. It was the Day of the Roman god of war, I keep on fighting and wanting more. ‘Cause I am Tuesday’s child, I’m full of grace. And all these anxious thoughts I cannot trace. So I’ll keep dancing in the middle of the room by myself. Yes I love dancing in the middle of the room with nobody else. Remember to breathe, remember to breathe. Remember to breathe, remember to breathe. ‘Cause I am Tuesday’s child, I’m full of grace. And all these anxious thoughts I cannot trace. So I’ll keep dancing in the middle of the room by myself. Yes I love dancing in the middle of the room with nobody else.

Lightworkers - KINLEY I’m calling all the lightworkers. If you could shine bright, let your light serve. I’ve got a friend in need. He’s a good friend indeed So I’m calling all the lightworkers. Everything was going right but sometimes you can’t see What’s really going on, what life is gonna be. Everything will be alright, he’s a good one. He just needs some help along. He is meant for the long haul. He is the love of her life. He holds the key to her heart. She’s never been so high on love before, never been so high on love. You can see the love in their eyes like the sun in the sky Or the full moon on a clear night, it’s larger than life So I’m calling all the lightworkers. If you could shine bright, let your light serve. I’ve got a friend in need. He’s a good friend indeed So I’m calling all the lightworkers. They’ve been laughing since they met They met at a wedding. How perfect love was in the air that night. Love was in the air. Said she couldn’t remember what he looked like. But the butterflies came when she saw his eyes, His music was cool and his truck was nice. After that date she called to say, ‘he is the one that I’ve been dreaming of, Dreaming of since we were young’. Fast forward to now, and they’re writing their vows I’ve never seen a love like this before, never seen a love like this I’m calling all the lightworkers. If you could shine bright, let your light serve. I’ve got a friend in need. He’s a good friend indeed So I’m calling all the lightworkers.

Take it from me - KINLEY I was drawn to a fast-talking man who could make anybody smile. But I found out over time and doubt that my love wasn’t worth his while. For two long years he strung me along while he shared his life with another girl. And I fell for him it was hard to pretend to the world like nothing was wrong. I knew it wasn’t right but when you’re heart sings a song you can’t tell it to be quiet. When I see that girl around when I’m in her small town I’m flustered for a mile. And when I see that man I cannot shake his hand even if he is a big deal - it doesn’t mean anything to me. Take it from me, take it from me. No, take it from me, you’re better off waiting for the real thing. And it’s too late now to bring it around so I’ll write it in my diary. Besides I’ve found true love with a man who knows me better than me. And I hope that fast-talking man treats her like the queen I know her to be. Never meant to hurt anyone even her, but sometimes that’s what love brings. Silent heartache can’t tell no one. Take it from me, take it from me. No, take it from me, you’re better off waiting for the real thing. If you find yourself now the mistress in town I wouldn’t wish that on my enemy. If you find yourself now in the middle of it all take a look at who is he? Will he be there in the morning? Is this the love you dreamed it would be? No, take it from me, take it from me. No, take it from me, you’re better off waiting for the real thing. Take it from me, take it from me. Take it from me, you’re better off waiting for the real thing. You’re better off waiting for the real thing.

The Quiet One - KINLEY All my childhood memories involve someone dying. Pictures on the floor I hold my uncle’s hand he’s crying. Oh this is me, I’m the quiet one. (I’m the quiet one). They always said to me ‘speak up’, but I feel like I’m yelling. Never learned how to project so ‘listen up’ I tell them. Oh this is me, I’m the quiet one. (I’m the quiet one). Crows and angels in my life show mystery and magic. Start to understand them be it hopeful be it tragic. Oh this is me, I’m the quiet one. (I’m the quiet one). I wish you could have read my mind. ‘Cause when I tried to speak it was always silent. But nothing’s gonna stop me now. Decades later I’m just getting comfortable in my skin. Dancing always makes me feel like I’m alive again. Now they hear me with a microphone no need for yelling. I’ve got things to say that should be heard - I’m here to win. I wish you could have read my mind. ‘Cause when I tried to speak it was always silent. But nothing’s gonna stop me now. *solo* I used to overthink the words and people spoke for me. But now I’ve learned to let them go and now I am set free. I wish you could have read my mind. ‘Cause when I tried to speak it was always silent. But nothing’s gonna stop me now. I wish you could have read my mind. ‘Cause when I tried to speak it was always silent. But nothing’s gonna stop, nothing’s gonna stop, nothing’s gonna, nothing’s gonna stop me now. I’m the quiet one.

To The Man In The Sea - KINLEY To the man in the sea, do you finally feel free? By the grace of the moonlight, I will sing to you all night. And the ice on the window shines a glittery shimmer And I’ll always remember you were gone in the winter. When the feeling of warm vibes can be passed from a stranger’s eyes How I’d hoped that you’d changed your mind, mesmerized by the Christmas lights Maybe I would see you around. Maybe I would recognize your sound Or just smile as we passed in the street. Like the magic when lovers meet. And did you leave a note to say you’re going home. And did they even know you were so alone. Was there something you wanted to say, or you said it and it wouldn’t go away. But for now we’ll just meditate on the silent and frozen waves. And did you leave a note to say you’re going home. And did they even know you were so alone. *solo* ‘Til the day that we meet again. On some river around the bend. I will sit by this roaring fire and hear your voice in the angels choir. To the man in the sea, you are finally free By the grace of the moonlight, I will sing to you all night.

Washington - KINLEY When the birds of a feather flocked together to sing their freedom song, some men got scared and even dared to say that the words were wrong. But the womxn knew a time had come for them to be heard. And the power was always inside of them so they sang the song they learned. Everybody's born to be free, be who you want to be. I'm being me. With our feet on the ground, no we're not backing down, ‘cause the time is now. Oh Washington I'll walk with you every day of the week. Oh Washington I'll walk with you every day of the week. We're not going to fight, no we come in peace. But we're being held back from our greatest self, we need release. Some voices are quiet but we'll still be heard, 'cause our words are strong and everyone knows love conquers. Everybody's born to be free, be who you want to be. I'm being me. With our feet on the ground, no we're not backing down, 'cause the time is now. Oh Washington I'll walk with you every day of the week. Oh Washington I'll walk with you every day of the week. Oh Washington I'll walk with you every day of the week. Oh Washington I'll walk with you every day of the week. Oh Washington I'll walk with you every day of the week. Oh Washington I'll walk with you every day of the week.

I’ve Got Money Coming - KINLEY I’ve got money coming It’s just not here yet I’ve got money coming How much you wanna bet? Not the time for shopping, I don’t want anything extravagant I just want what I can get And for the sun to kiss my neck Thankful for all that I have Great country and great friends Encouraged to be creative Such a beautiful place we live. I’ve got money coming It’s just not here yet I’ve got money coming How much you wanna bet? No room for anyone else right now Locked ourselves onto our beds Never thought that it would come to this Guess I took my home for granted I’ve been sowing row on row, working overtime Something’s gotta grow you know, I need some reason to my rhymes When the cash comes in we’ll celebrate And do a money dance We’ll do a money dance And throw up our hands I’ve got money coming It’s just not here yet I’ve got money coming How much you wanna bet? I’ll wait above the sunrise I’ll wait under the moon The money’s on its way It should be here, real soon I’ve got money coming
