A New World

Written and Composed by S. Philips

Verse I

Everybody’s Afraid
They don’t know what to do
The city’s on fire
and poison is our food
Trying to figure it out
How did we get here?
Why did I follow?
Now its time to scream and shout

Chorus

How you gonna feel
When all you thought was real
Comes crashing to the ground
It’s a new world that you found
Take the time to realize
There are people in disguise
With truth they like to bend
Cause you’re enemy’s your friend
You’re enemy’s your friend

Verse II

Mr. officer please
I don’t know what to do
I heard there’s a bus
and safety is it’s route
The officer said
"Didn’t you vote this through?"
You wanted a war
This is all because of you

Bridge

I know it’s hard to swallow
Truth and lies, truth and lies
But you know you got to follow
With your heart with your mind

Diamond Shoes

Written and Composed by S. Philips & M. Todd

Verse I

She’s walking down an empty road
Where the thought of happiness
Is the label on her dress
She never feels like going home
It’s a place where she can’t rest
Complete with emptiness

Chorus

You can buy this you can buy that
It’s just another thing, It’s just another trap
They tell you its hope shiny, brand new
They’re selling you a lie
They’re telling you it’s the truth
You work so hard to get what you want
But what you need is a brand new start
You can buy anything you choose
But it’s like buying diamond shoes

Verse II

She never thought she’d dig a hole
Where her heart was supposed to be
But it’s hard for her to see
Cause they sold her on how to lose
Take a trip at your expense
And forget about keeping friends

Bridge

If you open your eyes
You will see why your sad
Diamonds are never a friend
Do you want something new?
Or something that’s true
Where will this emptiness end?

Freedom

Written and Composed by S. Philips

Verse I

My daddy worked on a factory floor
Pounding steel into something more
Working so proudly paving his family’s way
And when he died a man he knew
Said he worked for the two of you
When they were unkindly calling him every name

Chorus

Freedom is earned you see
That’s what my daddy gave up for me
Freedom, freedom, freedom

Verse II

Growing up in a farming town
They laughed at me like a painted clown
The kids would deny my childhood blindly you see
But they were taught by a family tree
Born of seeds where some mean weren’t free
They were the men my daddy stood up to / for me

Bridge

Freedom for everybody
God knows we were born to be
Freedom for every child
Freedom for me

Mrs. Buttercup

Written and Composed by S. Philips

Verse I

Riding in the fog, not going near or far
I’ll tell you where I’m going when I get there
And something in my veins boils over and spills again
I start to see the end before tomorrow

Chorus

Hey Mrs. Buttercup growing in the sand
Please show me how you do it how to get there
The sea is crashing hard the wind is breaking plans
Please show me how you grow in the sand

Verse II

The towns along the way had no food or place to stay
So I kept on chasing time till the sun got closer
And I rode up to your sea to find a peace for a world in need
But the past just followed me with its sorrow

Bridge

A stranger to this land
I’m in your hands

Rise Up

Written and Composed by S. Philips

Verse I

When I see what’s in front of me
I feel only sympathy
For a race on a downward pace
Being led with an eye that’s bent on greed
So I say things aint going right
We got to change now
So all can live their life
We got to march now write our destiny
Can we find some humanity?
Do you see all the hate being spad today?
There’s a girl she see’s her daddy dying by a bomb today
Cause a boy he learned to kill
Praying he’d make it citing God’s will

Chorus

I know that the time for revolution is near
Rise up were gonna take a stand here
It’s time to raise your voice and let them hear
Rise up from your hate and fear

Verse II

If I lead will you follow me
To the depths of pain & misery
I will stand for love again
To the heal the wounds of all nations suffering, starving, warring
If I fall will you take the lead
Black Christian Jew Muslim follow me
Our voice aint being heard we’re miles away
We all know we can’t all live if there is only one way
Cause the President who lives by faith
His only answer is firing missiles through space

Bridge

Oh, we got to stand today
Oh, we got to fight today

Something More

Written by S. Philips and K. Whiteley

Verse I

There are children on the side lines
They are bleeding for something more
We are playing and their hope is fading
They are dying and we ignore

Pre Chorus

All Gods people won’t you raise your hands
Can we finally make amends?

Chorus

I’m here to find something more
Yes I’m here and yearning for
A way across /this ocean / to touch a distant shore
I’m here to find / something more

Verse II

It’s a wasteland of inner sadness
Contemplating peace and war
If its love that you are seeking
You can let your spirit soar

Pre Chorus

Everybody in every land
Reaching out there hand.

Bridge

If we want to make a difference
In a world that feels so torn
We’ve got to give out more than worn cliché’s
Together we can heal the human soul

Traveling On To Mars

Written by S. Philips

Composed by S. Philips and D. Huber

Verse I

Open your eyes let me wipe your tears away
Hold on for love sake and I promise the light of day
I know what they’ve said but be not afraid today
Fire and terror are soon to be yesterday

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why
Destruction of all we see
Cause it has to be you or me
Why ya wanna rule my dreams?
Tell me why
Why ya wanna burn the trees?
Why ya wanna hurt the girls. Why?
Why ya wanna rule the world?

Chorus

Travelling onto mars
Got my head up in the stars
Gonna leave you guys with my crown
Nothings gonna slow me down
Travelling onto mars
Got my head up in the stars
Gonna leave my tears behind

Verse II

Kneeling in sadness praying that you’ll find your way
What must a man to do when even his country betrays
Soon I will leave this world and I pray that the warrior is fed
Looking for answers and finding more anger instead

Bridge

My ship is here
It’s time to go
I know you’ll miss me
But you still just got to know
My soul is free
To fly today
And I’m just, and I’m just
Just a few light years away
