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

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
