Together Across Time: Oh, with all that we've done wrong We must have done something right To deserve these moments in time Every butterfly kiss Every story retold Every pinky promise Every morning hug Every "I love you" Every "Don't cry" Every "Stay" Every "Let go" Danci

(Verse 1) When we were eighteen, so wild and free, Caught in a whirlwind, you and me. A summer night, the stars shone bright, A reckless moment turned our world to fight. My mother’s voice, a haunting sound, "Not now, my girl, you’re too young to be bound." Tears fell like rain, as we said goodbye, Two broken hearts, we were left to cry. (Chorus) But oh, when I see you, the pain fades away, Love, hope, passion, here in the fray. You’re the light I was missing, my guiding star, Together again, we’ve come so far. You hold my little boy, with a heart so true, Baby, you’re fixing the things I never could do. (Verse 2) So I went my own way, searching for peace, Met a man who promised, but he brought no release. Broken and bruised, I wore my scars, Lost in the shadows, away from the stars. A cold, empty house, where love used to be, But I fought for my son, he’s my remedy. Back home again, oh, I felt so small, Then there you stood, like a dream — after all. (Chorus) But oh, when I see you, the pain fades away, Love, hope, passion, here in the fray. You’re the light I was missing, my guiding star, Together again, we’ve come so far. You hold my little boy, with a heart so true, Baby, you’re fixing the things I never could do. (Bridge) Remember the fair, the cotton candy sweet? Our laughter echoed, two hearts in a beat. Now you’re here, with a second chance, In your arms, it feels like a dance. No more broken nights, just love’s embrace, You’ve found my heart, in this quiet place. (Chorus) But oh, when I see you, the pain fades away, Love, hope, passion, here in the fray. You’re the light I was missing, my guiding star, Together again, we’ve come so far. You hold my little boy, with a heart so true, Baby, you’re fixing the things I never could do. (Outro) So here’s to the past, the lessons we've learned, With every single twist, my heart has turned. Now we’re writing our story, with every new dawn, I found my way back, and we’ll carry on. Oh, the love that we’ve found, it feels so right,

[Verse] On the winding roads of Alabama, where the magnolias bloom, Lives a woman strong and tender, in a small, cozy room. With a heart of gold and courage, through thick and thin she's been, My mom Nicole Bryars, the strongest I've ever seen. [Verse 2] Morning light through kitchen curtains, she starts her day with grace, Frying bacon, brewing coffee, a smile upon her face. Her hands are worn from working, but her spirit never tires, In every laugh and every tear, I see my mom Nicole Bryars. [Chorus] Oh, Nicole, oh, Nicole, in the heart of Alabama, You're the light that guides my way, oh, Nicole, my Alabama mama. Your love's a river flowing, through valleys and the peaks, Oh, Nicole, oh, Nicole, your strength is what I seek. [Verse 3] In the fields beneath the sunset, with a gentle Southern breeze, She's the one who taught me kindness, and to always say ‘please.’ We'd sit by the old wooden fence, talk about our dreams, With every word and every hug, she mended all my seams. [Verse 4] When the storms of life come raging, and the nights are cold and long, She’s the shelter that I run to, where I know I still belong. Her wisdom like a lantern, shining bright and far, Nicole Bryars, my guiding star, my heart's eternal spar. [Chorus] Oh, Nicole, oh, Nicole, in the heart of Alabama, You're the light that guides my way, oh, Nicole, my Alabama mama. Your love's a river flowing, through valleys and the peaks, Oh, Nicole, oh, Nicole, your strength is what I seek.

[Verse] Well, the evening sun is settin', And I’m feelin' all alone, She's gone and left me guessin', Just a shadow of my own. [Verse 2] Heartache at the diner, That’s where I spend my nights, The jukebox plays reminders, Of a love that was so right. [Chorus] And it's a lonesome road I'm walkin', With her memory by my side, Every step is another token, Of the tears that I can't hide. [Verse 3] Her picture's in the hallway, Where her laughter used to roam, Now it's just an empty doorway, In a house that's not a home. [Verse 4] Friends say time will heal it, But they don't know this pain, Each day without her spirit, Feels like walkin' in the rain. [Chorus] And it's a lonesome road I'm walkin', With her memory by my side, Every step is another token, Of the tears that I can't hide.

[Verse] Alabama’s sun burns bright Grandma Marie Howard’s fight Little house on the dusty road Heart of gold heavy load [Verse 2] Cotton fields and moonlit skies Wrinkles tell no lies Rocking chair on the front porch swing Songs of old her voice would bring [Chorus] Grandma Marie tales so real She taught me how to feel Wisdom in her tired eyes Underneath those Southern skies [Verse 3] Worn-out Bible by her side Secrets in the pages hide Every Sunday morning glow To her church we’d always go [Bridge] Memories like ghostly towns Dusty streets and faded sounds Thoughts of her in the midnight hour Grandma Marie Howard's power [Chorus] Grandma Marie tales so real She taught me how to feel Wisdom in her tired eyes Underneath those Southern skies

[Verse] Grandma Marie sat in her old rocking chair, With a quilt on her lap and a braid in her hair, She'd hum a sweet tune as the sun went down low, In a small Tennessee town where wildflowers grow. [Verse 2] Each Sunday morning she'd walk to the church, In a dress she had sewn, she’d sing from the perch, With a heart full of faith and a voice pure and clear, Her love and her laughter still echo 'round here. [Chorus] Grandma Marie, you taught us all well, With stories of angels and a soft, loving spell, Your wisdom and warmth still light up our days, In the heart of this family, your memory stays. [Verse 3] The smell of her biscuits would fill up the house, With butter and jam, they'd quiet each mouth, In the kitchen, she danced, spun tales of her past, Her hands rough from work, yet tender and fast. [Verse 4] She'd tend to her garden, a green-thumbed delight, With roses and daisies that bloomed through the night, Her spirit lives on in the petals and leaves, In every cool breeze and in each summer eve. [Chorus] Grandma Marie, you taught us all well, With stories of angels and a soft, loving spell, Your wisdom and warmth still light up our days, In the heart of this family, your memory stays.

Oh, Crazy Horatio, the legend we sing, With a ship on the rocks and a wealth beyond kings. He crashed all the ships, from east to the west, And left treasure for all with a heart in his chest. He sailed the seas with no fear in his heart, A master of storms, a true pirate’s art. With a wink and a grin, he'd lead the charge, No ship could escape, no pirate too large. Oh, Crazy Horatio, the legend we sing, With a ship on the rocks and a wealth beyond kings. He crashed all the ships, from east to the west, And left treasure for all with a heart in his chest. A thousand shipwrecks, one after another, Each crash turned pirates to fathers and mothers. They settled in villages, wild and free, Raising new families by the saltwater sea. Oh, Crazy Horatio, the legend we sing, With a ship on the rocks and a wealth beyond kings. He crashed all the ships, from east to the west, And left treasure for all with a heart in his chest. Now legends whisper of the treasure still near, Gold and jewels hidden in places unclear. Crazy Horatio, though old and worn, Left his mark on the world, in every pirate born. Oh, Crazy Horatio, the legend we sing, With a ship on the rocks and a wealth beyond kings. He crashed all the ships, from east to the west, And left treasure for all with a heart in his chest.

I farted into the sun, To see how it would smell. But now it's glowing red, And Earth’s gone straight to hell. I tried to pass it gently, But I let it rip too hard. Now the air’s on fire, And I’m feeling so charred. What have I done? My gaseous spree. The world’s ablaze, Because of me. I cannot run, The smell won’t fade. This fiery funk, Is the price I’ve paid. I watch the sky turn crimson, The stars begin to dim. Who knew my spicy dinner Could lead to this grim hymn? The silence now surrounds me, Except for distant screams. I just wanted a chuckle, Not apocalyptic dreams. What have I done? My gaseous spree. The world’s ablaze, Because of me. I cannot run, The smell won’t fade. This fiery funk, Is the price I’ve paid. If I could take it back, I’d hold it deep inside. But alas, my friends, The sun won’t let it slide. This is my legacy, A scent that never dies. I farted into the sun, And doomed us with the skies.

[Verse] Oh the horses strong and free Galloping through fields for all to see With coats of black white brown and gray They brighten up our every day [Verse 2] They run with spirit full of cheer Through meadows wild and skies so clear Wild hearts but gentle as the breeze They bring us joy with such ease [Chorus] Oh horsey friends we love you so Through summer's sun and winter's snow You carry dreams on your strong backs In fields green or dusty tracks [Verse 3] In the morning light or twilight glow Your majesty in every show Majestic manes that flow and sway Guiding us in their own way [Bridge] We've learned from you oh so much Your warm embrace your gentle touch In life's long race we'll never part With horsey friends you've won our heart [Chorus] Oh horsey friends we love you so Through summer's sun and winter's snow You carry dreams on your strong backs In fields green or dusty tracks

(Chorus of Cossacks) Земля свята, земля козацька, Де вітер волі в степу гуде! Де шабля гостра, душа завзята, І пісня славна понад Дніпром пливе! (Old Cossack): Співай, бандуро, про дні минулі, Про славу наших батьків-героїв. Про битви люті, про рани чулі, Про сльози радості, про сльози болю. (Young Cossack): Годі журитись! Не час для смутку! В жилах козацька ще кров кипить! Нам би коня сідлати, рушницю в руку, І волю нашу від ворогів боронити! (Woman): Сини, мужі, невже війна вам мила? Невже не знаєте ціни спокою? Молитва наша вас завжди хранила, Та серце матері болить за вами в бою. (Chorus of Cossacks): Ні, не війна нам мила, а свобода! Не хочемо під панським гнітом жить! За рідну землю, за свій народ, за згоду, Готові шаблі в руки знов схопить! (Ataman): Браття-козаки! Зібрав я вас недарма! Вісті тривожні до нас дійшли. Ворог зухвалий знову зазіхає на нашеє добро, Хоче забрати землю, що потом полили. (Young Cossack): То дамо йому відсіч! Нехай відчує лють козацьку! Мчімо на конях, як вітер у степу! Покажемо йому, де раки зимують, де наша хатка! Не дамо топтати квітку нашу степову! (Old Cossack): Подумайте, браття, не поспішайте з гнівом. Мудрість потрібна, як і сила в бою. Хай кожен зважить, хай помолиться з Богом, І тільки тоді рушаймо в путь свою! (The Cossacks murmur in agreement, some nodding, others clenching their fists.) (Woman): Благаю вас, вождь, будьте розсудливі! Не кидайте синів на смерть бездумно! Згадайте про сім'ї, про обітниці, про дружби глибину, Нехай повертаються вони додому живими, безумовно! (Ataman): Жінко, знаю біль твій, знаю сльози твої. Та козацька доля – служити Україні. Якщо ворог прийде, не буде нам спокою, повір мені. Тож краще ми підемо, обороним рідні стіни. (A COSSACK SINGS a soulful, yearning song about his love for his homeland and his loved ones.) (Soloist Cossack): Ой степе мій розлогий, краю мій коханий, Де кожна травинка серцю рідна. Де Дніпро широкий, мов батько сивий, Не віддам тебе ворогу нізащо, нізащо! Дівчино моя люба, зіронько ясна, Чекай мене вірно, вір у мою силу. Повернуся з перемогою, з піснею голосна, І щастя наше знов розквітне, мила! (The Chorus of Cossacks joins in, their voices filled with determination and patriotic fervor.) (Chorus of Cossacks): За волю, за землю, за славу козацьку, Вперед, братове, не знаємо ми страху! Хай ворог тремтить, хай тікає навспак, Коли козацька шабля блисне в небі, наче знак! (Ataman): Козаки! Сідлайте коней! В путь! Хай гримить слава про нашу відвагу! За Україну-матір, нехай вороги впадуть! І вічно хай живе козацька звитяга!

By Your Side (Verse 1) I’ve seen the weight you carry, love, The shadows that you’re running from. But don’t you know, you’re not alone, This heart of mine is your home. Through the storm and the fire, I’ll hold your hand, lift you higher. No darkness can tear us apart, We’ll fight together, heart to heart. (Chorus) I’ll be by your side, come what may, Through the night and the breaking day. We’ll face the demons, fight the fears, Turn the pain into brighter years. You’re not alone, I’ll never leave, Together we can always believe. No battle’s too great, no dream’s too small, I’ll stand with you through it all. (Verse 2) I see the man you’re meant to be, Through all the doubt, it’s clear to me. The strength you hide, the love you show, Together we’ll let the light grow. When you stumble, I’ll be there, With steady hands, a steady prayer. No burden’s too heavy to bear, When love is our armor, despair’s unaware. (Chorus) I’ll be by your side, come what may, Through the night and the breaking day. We’ll face the demons, fight the fears, Turn the pain into brighter years. You’re not alone, I’ll never leave, Together we can always believe. No battle’s too great, no dream’s too small, I’ll stand with you through it all. (Bridge) Take my hand, don’t be afraid, In your arms, my heart is laid. Every scar and every tear, I’ll love you deeper year by year. So when the world feels cold and wild, Look to me, and see your bride. We’ll build a life no fear can break, Together, love, for heaven’s sake. (Chorus) I’ll be by your side, come what may, Through the night and the breaking day. We’ll face the demons, fight the fears, Turn the pain into brighter years. You’re not alone, I’ll never leave, Together we can always believe. No battle’s too great, no dream’s too small, I’ll stand with you through it all. (Outro) Forever yours, I swear to be, The anchor when you’re lost at sea. Through every trial, rise or fall, I’ll love you through it all.
