+ Fly Lyrics

Lyrics - Rick Duarte & Michael Stancliff
Music - Michael Stancliff, Rick Duarte, Jason Heiser, "Sexy" Chris Sellman

Wake Up!
Have you heard the news?
That devil's happy, help me sing the blues
I've been locked down for a long long time
And I need your love, don't want to stand in line

Can we read between the lines?
You never need to ask me why
On this rollercoaster ride
Spread these wings and learn to fly
On this rollercoaster ride

Get up when they bring you down
Put up your fist and let it swing around
Everyday we find another way
To keep this dream alive

Can we read between the lines?
You never need to ask me why
On this rollercoaster ride
Spread these wings I need to fly
On this rollercoaster ride

Stand up when you hear your name
This world will never, ever be the same
This distance makes us feel so small
But there's a time to jump and there's a time to crawl

Can we read between the lines?
You never need to ask me why
On this rollercoaster ride
Spread these wings I need to fly
On this rollercoaster ride

+ A Little Bit More Lyrics

Lyrics - Michael Stancliff
Music - Michael Stancliff & Rick Duarte
Piano - Whitney Phoenix

When the rain is falling
And your tears just won't go away
When your heart is broken
And your world is lying on the floor

I will love you a little..
I will love you a little bit more
I will love you a little bit more

When the sun stops shining
And you feel so all alone
When your heart is crying
Like it never has before

I will love you a little...
I will love you a little bit more
I will love you a little bit more

Hold on to your dreams
Hold on to your heart
Hold on, Hold on
With both hands hold on
Hold on to me

I will love you a little bit more
I will love you

+ Woman Lyrics

Lyrics - Rick Duarte & Michael Stancliff
Music - Michael Stancliff
Guest Vocalist - Naomi Muaro

When you’re all alone and no one cares
You got a whiskey bottle in your hand
When you go for a win but you know you’re gonna lose
The lord only knows which prayers to refuse

When you let me go you never set me free
Now I lay my head where your heart used to be

You’ve been down this road so many times
You can close your eyes and still see the signs
When her love runs dry and your so confused
You want to cry, you gotta pick and choose

When you set me free you never let me go
Now I lay my head where your heart said....

You'll never know a woman until you’ve been a man
There’s always something that you’ll never understand
All your logic and emotion doesn’t change her plans
Because you'll never know a woman until you’ve been a man
Oh, until you been a man..... yeah

When you let me go would you set me free?
The last words you said...
You said that you'll never know a woman until you’ve been a man
There’s always something that you’ll never understand
And your promise of devotion doesn’t change her plans

You'll never know a woman
I said you'll never know a woman
You'll never love a woman
Until you’ve been a man

+ Out of Time Lyrics

Lyrics - Rick Duarte
Music - Michael Stancliff & Rick Duarte
Guest Vocalist - Naomi Muaro
Sax - Smokin' Joe Escriba

Taking all my time waiting on the line
Every time we talk it leaves me shaking inside
Maybe I’m a fool for breaking up with you
But we’re out of time now

There’s no games to play, we wasted yesterday
We gave it all we got, but there is something left to say
Saints they always sin
The losers never win
But we’re out of time

Remember the times?
The sun and the rain and you were mine
The sea and the sky
Washing away in waves of….

What we used to be is ancient history
Like mourners at a funeral it’s a lover’s eulogy
It’s nobody’s fault, it’s life but it ain’t long
But we are out of time now.

Remember the times?
The sun and the rain and you were mine
The sea and the sky
Washing away in waves of….

There’s no way to rewind
Let's talk about second chances?
Don’t you know how good we could be?
Our mystery

Remember the times?
The sun and the rain and you were mine
The sea and the sky
Washing away in waves of….

Are we out of time?

+ Rain Lyrics

Lyrics - Rick Duarte
Music - Michael Stancliff

I see the clouds inside of you
And I know it’s going to rain
Another fight, like tea for two and I know I shouldn’t stay

It’s raining hard but the truth hits harder
It let’s me know that the game is over - yeah
When love is tighter than a noose and collar
I’m letting go of the chain of love’s pain

It’s on tonight, just me and you
And the stars that left your eyes
We woke the dreams we made for two
We burned that paper thin disguise

It’s raining hard but the truth hits harder
It let’s me know that the game is over - yeah
When love is tighter than a noose and collar
I’m letting go of the chain of love’s pain

Do you feel the rain?
Do you feel the rain?
Do you feel the rain?
Do you feel the same?

It’s raining hard but the truth hits harder
It let’s me know that the game is over - yeah
When love is tighter than a noose and collar
I’m letting go of the chain of love’s pain

+ All I Want Is You Lyrics

Lyrics - Michael Stancliff & Rick Duarte
Music - Michael Stancliff

Summer is gone and I gave it all to strangers
All that I want is you
All I want is you
The nights getting long and now all I see is danger
All that I want is you
All I want is to find my way to make you understand

Falling in - Falling out
All I want is you
Falling in - Falling out
All I want is you

Our summer is gone and now all the leaves are changing
All that I want is you
All I want is you
I try to recall but my memories are so faded
All that I want is you
All I want is to find my way to make you understand

Falling in - Falling out
All I want is you
Falling in - Falling out
All I want is you

I will find my way to make you understand
Falling in - Falling out
All I want is you
Falling in - Falling out
All I want is you

ALL I WANT IS YOU…...

+ Slipping Away Lyrics

Lyrics - Rick Duarte
Music - Michael Stancliff & Rick Duarte

When you feel like shots come, coming in from every side
It seems like there’s no one ever standing by your side
Fear tries to break you down staring down the barrel of a gun
But you can’t stop a freight train
You gotta go and get you some (Go, go, go and get you some)

When you fall down you gotta get up
When your dream is slipping away
When your dream is slipping away

When it feels like the thoughts come like a siren ringing in your head
So you scream out, but there’s no one that ever heard a thing you said
The tears cried and made you doubt
It’s the only world you’ve ever known
When the tears dry and love comes
You know this time you're not alone

When you’re knocked down you gotta get up
When your dream is slipping away
When your dream is slipping away

Did you step into the stream of make believe?
Are you waiting on the outside looking in?
Do you wear it on your sleeve with every dream?

So with all these circumstances unforeseen
Where we go you will never know
You can’t solve the mystery
It’s the truth that can never be known

‘Cause it’s all now you better wake up
When your dream is slipping away
When your dream is slipping away

+ All That I Have Left

Music - Michael Stancliff & Rick Duarte
Lyrics - Rick Duarte

My wish for you, my love
All the happiness this life can overcome
And when you’re lost
You’ll find open doors to show you what you left behind
You are the time you are the space
Feel the sunlight’s kiss upon your face

If you feel like you’re alone
Remember this and figure out
Someone’s eyes will show you what it’s all about

When you see the light burning strong and bright
Like the stars that shine above you and the ones who really love you
Let it all inside
Through your windows wide
We’ll see through all the illusions in a world made to confuse you

I won’t be here for too long
A part of history
I will miss you when I’m gone
When you create remember me standing true
It’s what will set you free
And I’ll be there inside your eyes
In every mirror that you look inside

So don’t give up and don’t give in
You’ll find your voices deep within
You are all the magic
Even saints commit the sins

When you see the light burning strong and bright
Like the stars that shine above you and the ones who really love you
Let it all inside
Through your windows wide
We’ll see through all the illusions

So take my words into your heart
Just know that all that I have left is in this song

+ The Miracle

Music - Michael Stancliff
Lyrics - Rick Duarte

Maybe I should close the window
Maybe I should save myself
Maybe I don't know the difference in the truth and lies they sell
The sand of time runs through my fingers
All I know is I still want more
Steely eyes and slow agendas
It maybe heaven it maybe hell

It comes as no surprise
No one makes it out alive
So laugh until you cry
'Cause no one, no one makes it out alive
And it is over in the end

So raise a glass and cheers to all your friends (all your friends)
And make the most of every moment spent
The sun it shines so dry away those tears (dry those tears)
The pain it burns away from all these years

It comes as no surprise
No one, no one makes it out alive
So laugh until you cry
'Cause no one, no one makes it out alive
And it is over in the end

You are the miracle

When your broken heart can see the day
And I know that we can find a better way
When your broken heart can see the truth
Letting go, it's hard
It all comes back to you

When you come home
You know I will be there waiting for you
When you come home
I will be there inside these walls

You are the miracle
