"Baby, you need to write that hit song..."

Mother Earth 05:02
You wanna take a ride? You gotta come with me Here we go What face is mine today? I'm a mother, I can pray What game is worth the fight? It's the one that strips my pride Whose pain can I endure? It's a tainted love, once pure Whose conscience can I buy? Such a priceless whitewashed lie Check it out It's feeling good It's feeling good like it should And you knew it really would And you gotta take it down Gotta make it come around Check it out It's feeling good Feeling good like it should And you knew it really would And you gotta take it down Gotta make it come around Free me from this lonely place Wash away my pain and hate Mother Earth come bless my soul Mother Earth come make me whole Free me from this lonely place Wash away my pain and hate Mother Earth come bless my soul Mother Earth come make whole, oh no, Check it out, what, what It's feeling good You better take a ride You gotta come with me Here we go I made that wish today I took a chance and I chose to stay I found my enemy Now I know it's inside of me I tried to run away, so afraid that I hid my pain But it came right back to me Loneliness. insecurity Check it out It's feeling good It's feeling good like it should And you knew it really would And you gotta take it down Gotta make it come round Check it out It's feeling good It's feeling good like it should And you knew it really would And you gotta take it down Gotta make it come around Free me from this lonely place Wash away my pain and hate Mother Earth come bless my soul Mother Earth come make me whole Check it out It's feeling good It's feeling good like it should And you knew it really would And you gotta take it down Gotta make it come around Check it out It's feeling good It's feeling good like it should And you gotta take it down Gotta make it come around Free me from this lonely place Wash away my pain and hate Mother Earth come bless my soul Mother Earth come make me whole

Salvation 06:44
I never knew heaven was so far away I tried to believe and I tried to have faith Got down on my knees and I begged and I prayed Salvation was mine, when I soon forgave I took a picture of my life And now I see the truth The colors how they hypnotize Right before my very eyes I never knew freedom was inside myself My suffering and pain was all that I felt But now that I see that I made my own hell I'm ready to fly and learn how to heal I took a picture of my life And now I see the truth The colors how they hypnotize I gotta separate my love from hate Don't try to complicate my new found faith, no Go with the flow, don't hesitate Because it's not too late to celebrate it Gotta separate the love from hate Don't try to complicate my new found faith, no Digging down deep inside of my soul I'm tired, I'm wired, I'm losing control Trying so hard to fit in that mold I'm running away, I'll just let it go I took a picture of my life And now I see the truth The colors how they hypnotize I gotta separate my love from hate Don't try to complicate my new found faith, no Go with the flow, don't hesitate Because it's not too late to celebrate it Gotta separate the love from hate Don't try to complicate my new found faith, no Sweet and sublime It's your turn to shine You look in the mirror The truth is quite clear It's time to believe And give what I need I'll water my soul And plant all my seeds Veil my secrets Inside my dreams They're twisted They're turning They're breaking free Been locked away Like a hidden treasure Worth so much more Than any human pleasure You gotta feed your faith You gotta feed your faith You gotta feed your faith I never knew heaven was so far away I tried to believe and I tried to have faith Got down on my knees and I begged and I prayed Salvation was mine, when I soon forgave I took a picture of my life And now I see the truth The colors how they hypnotize Right before my very eyes
