Hearing that catchy melody and beat just makes you want to sing along because it feels so good. The lyrics we sing along to have power. They affect our thoughts, feelings and actions consciously & subconsciously.

The thoughts we choose to think and repeat effects us and our lives more than we may realize. When I write, I choose to write with this in mind.

I am conscious of the music I create and the message I attach to it.

By sharing my struggles, triumphs, great choices, poor choices through my music, I am hoping that it will make a difference for you in your life.

This is my commitment, my passion.

My latest album below is called Let the Journey Begin. Writing this album was a journey within myself.

Writing all the melodies and lyrics was a great way to express my true feelings and thoughts, and let me tell you - I have a lot of them! :o)

Each song is so much a part of my life, my experiences, who I am and how I have gotten to where I am today.

Hearing and feeling the songs come to life in the studio with my producer Ian Smith was awesome!
And special thanks to David Blair & Mike Strype, co-composers of the music for my album.

‘The Journey has begun!’

1. DREAM BIG
Sara Westbrook/Mike Strype
Copyright 2007

I’m just someone with dreams so grand - They could reach around this entire land - Knowing so clear what I wanted to do, to be, to see - That was me, that is me - In this storybook I’m the author - Sometimes the power can be overwhelming

CHORUS
Take a little time - Dream a big dream - Find out who you are - And what it means in the scheme of things

If this life is a catalogue - I’m flipping through the pages every day - Since my perfect life is just a turn away - I’ll place my order - Hope it arrives today - In this storybook I’m the author - Sometimes the power can be overwhelming

CHORUS
Take a little time - Dream a big dream - Find out who you are - And what it means in the scheme of things

BRIDGE
So it’s up to you - What you think about - You will get - Sometimes it’s hard to believe it

CHORUS
Take a little time - Dream a big dream - Find out who you are - And what it means in the scheme of things.

Dream Big

2. USED TO
Sara Westbrook/David Blair
Copyright 2007

I used to let you hold me down - Mess my head all around - Used to, used to - that's what i used to do - I used to let you make me cry - And you’d barely even have to try - Used to, used to - that's what i used to do

PRECHORUS
But now I’ve changed my thoughts around - Tired of feeling down - Decided to make a new choice - now you’ll hear my voice - I am gonna fly

CHORUS
If life’s a game - I’m willing to play - Here’s what I gotta say - Stop taking it so seriously - Relax, enjoy, let yourself breathe - If life’s a game - Here’s what I’ve gotta do - So I can make it through - Focus on me, let myself be free - Take time - Reduce the speed

I used to be afraid of you - Scared of all the stuff you’d do - Used to, used to - But that was before - I used to let you get your way - And always have your say - Used to, used to - But not anymore

PRECHORUS
Coz now I’ve changed my thoughts around - Tired of feeling down - Decided to make a new choice - I am gonna fly


CHORUS

BRIDGE
It’s funny how we let - The little things mean so much - But it ain’t funny - When it feels like those little things - Are tearing your world apart

CHORUS

3. ALL YOU SEE IN ME
Sara Westbrook/David Blair
Copyright 2008

You tell me be confident - Be strong, be true - It’s the only way you say - I’ll make it through - You tell me to believe in myself - To Dream big, stand up tall

CHORUS
And it all sounds good - It all makes sense to me - But I don’t know how to be all you say I can be - Help me out I’m so confused - I wish I could be - I wish I could be - All you see in me, All you see in me

As I sit here another day - Watching the world pass me by - And as the tears roll down my cheeks - I can no longer see the sun in this sky - You said I could be anything - If I take a stand and be myself

CHORUS

BRIDGE

;So you took me by the hand and said ‘come this way - I got something that I just have to say - Sometimes life doesn’t turn out how you think it should - But it’s all in how you look at it - Are you gonna let it tear you down? - Or get up and be better than before?


It all sounds good - It all makes sense to me - I know I wanna be - I know I’m gonna be - All you see in me!

4. PUSH THROUGH
Sara Westbrook/David Blair
Copyright 2006

This song goes out to everybody who's had a downtime - but they learnt from that downtime and they got back up - So they wouldn't change it

I walked into the room - Not hesitating - Without anticipating the outcome - I could barely fit in – ‘cause your ego - Took up so much space

PRECHORUS
Isn’t it funny how we all live our lives - Some just go through it - And some just analyze

CHORUS
To you it’s all the same - It’s just the same game - And you were just waiting - To pick me apart - But I won’t lay down because of you - I will not hide from you - I know what I am made of - And I will push through

Sometime the memories slip into my mind - But it’s okay because I am stronger than yesterday - Feelings don’t mean much - When you’re so consumed with yourself - Your cold expressions and your empty eyes - You could not see me - So you could not recognize

 PRECHORUS
Isn’t it funny how we all live our lives - Some just go through it - And some choose to analyze

CHORUS

Let me tell you - There’s been many times in my life - Where I have doubted myself - But I will achieve great things - Because I refuse to give up

I will not hide from you - because I know what I am made of and I will push through - I will believe - Yes I do believe - Oh I believe

5. DOESN'T MEAN MUCH
Sara Westbrook/David Blair
Copyright 2008

So you think you’re great and I’m not - And you think that you’ve got something - And I’ve got nothing

PRECHORUS
Well that’s your opinion - And it doesn’t mean much - That’s your opinion - And it doesn’t mean much - Not ‘til I say it does

CHORUS
And I give & you take - And you wait for me to break - But I won’t, no I won’t - ‘Cause I know who I am - I know that I can - Be anything I wanna be - Doesn't mean much

So you think that you’re better - And I'm the loser - And you think you’ve got it made - And I don’t

 PRECHORUS
Well that’s your opinion - And it doesn’t mean much - I hate to say it to you - But that’s your opinion - And it doesn’t mean much - Not ‘til I say it does

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I wish you could see what I see - You’re hurting just like me - But since we’re not on the same page - I‘ll just have to walk away

CHORUS x2

6. NEVER WALK AWAY

Sara Westbrook/David Blair
Copyright 2006

I can remember that day so clearly in my mind - Came running down the stairs - You were standing there - I could see the look on your face - And something in your eyes

PRECHORUS
I know you thought it would be easier on me if you walked away

CHORUS
I won’t stand at the door waiting for you anymore - Won’t cry - Won’t let my life pass me by - You did what you could do - I won’t put the blame on you - I just learned to never walk away

Crying myself to sleep every night - So much pain - My heart hurt so much - I wanted you to call - Missed your face, your smile - I didn’t understand why you had to leave - I felt so confused

PRECHORUS
I know you thought it would be easier on me if you walked away

CHORUS
I won’t stand at the door waiting for you anymore - Won’t cry - Won’t let my life pass me by - You did what you could do - I won’t put the blame on you - I just learned to never walk away

BRIDGE
I guess you did what you believed you had to do - Too bad you didn’t take the time to ask - How I felt

CHORUS X2

7. LOVE CRUSADE
Sara Westbrook/David Blair
Copyright 2006

Look in the mirror - The reflection, do you like it? - Is it everything you want it to be? - Confidence, is it an illusion? - A fantasy that you wish could be true?

CHORUS
Let’s start a love crusade - Stop this masquerade - Too much time and tears has been wasted - Don’t judge and compare yourself to others - It won’t change anything - You are beautiful

Compliments, do you believe them? - Or brush them off with a false reason why they’re not true? - Do you think God made a mistake? - He gave her your nice shape - And those pretty eyes

CHORUS

BRIDGE
What do you get from not accepting? - Maybe it’s time to stop rejecting?

CHORUS X2

You are beautiful

8. ONE DECISION
Sara Westbrook/David Blair
Copyright 2006

The day was going along just fine - One or two mistakes, but I guess I crossed the line - Not thinking too much about the consequence - Looking back it doesn’t seem to make much sense

These are the choices that we make - These are the chances that we take - Banging my head against the wall - Watching all the red bricks start to fall - Wondering how it could of played out -What’s my life all about? - What’s it all about?

CHORUS
One decision could change your life - And you can’t take it back, can’t change the past - You’re just trying to do what’s right
One decision could change your life - No you can’t take it back, can’t change the past - You’re just trying to live your life

I can feel the weight of your glare - And this pain and hurt I feel is beyond repair - Each day I wake up just trying to breathe - From this anguish inside there is no relief

These are the choices that we make - These are the chances that we take - Banging my head against the wall - Watching all the red bricks start to fall - Wondering how it could of played out -What’s my life all about? - What’s it all about?

CHORUS

So take my body and I’ll take the blame - Can’t live my days with all this pain - And everything that happened is such a blur - I wanna get back to where I was before - My head will explode and I’m going insane - Nothing makes sense I’m so ashamed - How do I get through this? - How do I get through this?

CHORUS

9. CAFE
Sara Westbrook/David Blair
Copyright 2006

Sitting at a downtown café - Sipping my chai tea latte - As I’m watching people pass by - Some have smiles on their faces - Others tears in their eyes - Do you ever wonder what’s happening in other people’s lives?

CHORUS
Does she worry about the same things that I do? - Does he long to be accepted too? - Are we all travelling along singing the same song?
Is money their number one concern? - Do you make mistakes and never learn? - Are we all travelling along singing the same song?

Spotted a place on a park bench - The woman sitting beside me - Looks like she lives here - I ask ‘how was your day so far?’ - She says ‘great- don’t you know I ‘m a star? - It’s so beautiful to live life each day!’ Yeah

CHORUS

BRIDGE
We are all so different - But so much the same

CHORUS x2

10. BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE
Sara Westbrook/David Blair
Copyright 2008

Everything seemed to be going wrong - I guess that’s why I wrote this song - And when it rains it pours

PRECHORUS
But all of the colours - In the sky - Have caught my eye - And it’s a beautiful surprise

CHORUS
Hey, hoh - What a glorious day! - It’s about time things - Started going my way
Hey, hoh - And I’ve learned from my mistakes - Is that what it takes? - To see a beautiful surprise

I put on my coat and leave the room - With my head held high and my pride - But I am still hurting inside - Who knew rejection could cause so much pain - Their loss, my gain

 PRECHORUS
Coz all of these colours - In the sky - Have got me high - And it’s a beautiful surprise

CHORUS

BRIDGE
We all know - You gotta feel a little rain - Before you see the rainbow

CHORUS X2

11. LOVING YOU, LOVING ME
Sara Westbrook/Mike Strype
Copyright 2007

It’s Monday morning and I don’t wanna move - From underneath my white, warm covers - Maybe I’ll hit the snooze - One more time - Coz my eyes are barely open

I wish I was waking up with you - Looking back at me, not just dreaming about it - Me & you, you & me, it’s just a natural way to be

CHORUS
There’s no other place that I’d rather be - In love with you, in love with me - I can feel it in your touch - That you love me just as much

The day rolls on and I laugh and I smile - But I’m still thinking of you - Wondering what your doing - Wishing i was here with you - Are you thinking about me too? - I wish i was waking up with you looking back at me - Note just dreaming about it - Me & you, you & me, it's just a natural way to be

CHORUS
There’s no other place that I’d rather be - In love with you, in love with me - I can feel it in your touch - That you love me just as much

BRIDGE
I can phone and hear your voice - I can read a letter you’ve sent - But it just won’t compare - To the feeling of you near

CHORUS
There’s no other place that I’d rather be - In love with you, in love with me - I can feel it in your touch - That you love me oh so much

12. HEARTS COLLIDE
Sara Westbrook/David Blair
Copyright 2006

When I look inside - There are spaces I tend to hide - Cracks and broken pieces that I don’t want the world to see - Frustration motivates me to wanna change - But so many thoughts need to rearrange - Which makes me ask is it worth it? - Is this worth it?

CHORUS
When our hearts collide - Something changes inside - There’s no reason no fancy rhyme - It happens every time - I don’t know what you do to me - But I can see - My future in your eyes - When our hearts collide

At times I am bruised - Feeling confused - Held back by my own beliefs - Needing to find relief - Dark moments are so hard to take - When you’re about to break - Forgiveness is the key - To the bars that imprison me

CHORUS

BRIDGE
When my thoughts run back to you - I find myself feeling safe again - Even when you’re not here - When you’re not here

CHORUS

13. COME WITH ME BABY
Sara Westbrook/Mike Strype
Copyright 2007

This thing called us - Has got a little complicated - Sometimes I feel - So darn frustrated - I’ll say one thing - And you’ll make it mean something else - And then you say to me

CHORUS
Come with me baby - Take me by the hand - Be patient baby - I promise I will understand

That we are two different people - Trying to combine our lives - And at times it’s hard - I still haven’t figured out - How to read minds - We’ve been through so much - That it just wouldn’t seem - Right to give up on us - Plus you always make things alright, alright - When you say to me

CHORUS x2

BRIDGE
No one said that this path - Was easy - No one said that we’d always – Agree - But in the end - If we make it worth it - In the end if it’s you & me - Oh in the end if it’s you & me

CHORUS x3
