Rise Above

Thank you all for pitching in to make Nathan’s 16th a special day. You know how much I love your bdays and celebrating you at the highest level. I was so sad to be plagued with that unforgiving migraine and having to miss out on dinner, dessert and presents. Big thanks for getting pics and video of it all. I am proud of the way you all came together!! #proudmamamoment

[Verse] Westin's got a roll of dice Every tumble's high-cost slice In the Degen Den he's there Luckless king of poker's lair [Verse 2] Nobody wants to sit too close His bad luck spreads like a ghost Playing cards with nerves of steel Hold 'em deck spins like a wheel [Chorus] Westin calls and chaos roars Fate conspires behind closed doors Aces fold like rain on sand Nothing goes as he had planned [Verse 3] Discord echoes with his name Degen Den's unending game Players whisper of the curse For Westin only gets the worst [Verse 4] Stack of chips he holds so tight Doomed to lose 'em in the night Every shuffle every bet Feels like playing Russian roulette [Chorus] Westin calls and chaos roars Fate conspires behind closed doors Aces fold like rain on sand Nothing goes as he had planned

[Verse] In the shadows lurks the king Leather bound with broken wings Sweat drips down the haunted walls Echoes of forbidden calls [Verse 2] Ryan's here to watch the show Carnal secrets start to flow Chains and whispers they collide In this dark and twisted ride [Chorus] Fart king reigns in leather clad Lust and laughter gone a bit mad On the edge where passions meet In this club where wild hearts beat [Verse 3] Thrills unfold beneath the lights Masked desires take their flights Crowded room with restless eyes Draped in secrecy and lies [Bridge] Take a step into the dark Feel the heat ignite the spark Ryan's watching from the sides In the world where wild abides [Chorus] Fart king reigns in leather clad Lust and laughter gone a bit mad On the edge where passions meet In this club where wild hearts beat

[Verse] In the heartbeat of the island nights Where stars and beats collide in flights I'm a soca nut can't get enough Living for the rhythm feeling tough [Verse 2] From the sunrise till the moon's embrace Dancing bodies in a festive space Jab King’s beat hypnotizes me I'm a soca nut set my spirit free [Chorus] Oh I'm jumpin' I'm shakin' To the rhythm we're makin' Every pulse every wave In this soca craze [Verse 3] With the steel pan’s golden groove In the street I feel the mood Soca nut under the Caribbean sun Melody and life become one [Verse 4] Little moments joy dancing wild Lost in laughter free as a child Jab King’s rhythm drags us along In the soca wind we all belong [Chorus] Oh I'm jumpin' I'm shakin' To the rhythm we're makin' Every pulse every wave In this soca craze

[Verse] Woke up on a new high Clouds beneath my feet I'm flying World so big and full of life Never back down from a fight [Verse 2] Dragon balls all gathered round Power surges feel the sound Enemies can feel my fire Burning bright I’ll never tire [Chorus] I'm still glowing stronger now Mightier with every vow No more darkness no more fear Feel my light the end is near [Verse 3] Training on these rocky peaks Pushing limits victory sneaks With each blow I find the way To rise above a brighter day [Chorus] I'm still glowing stronger now Mightier with every vow No more darkness no more fear Feel my light the end is near [Bridge] Universe can hear my call Battle’s fierce but I won’t fall Shining like a thousand suns My journey has just begun

[Verse] In Covewood Lodge by the forest's grace Big Moose whispers 'cross the quiet lake Pine trees swayin' Tales of old Memories stayin' in hearts they hold [Verse 2] Morning dew on the cabin's eaves Wildlife croon beneath the leaves The smell of pine and cedar wood Feels like home Just like it should [Chorus] Oh Covewood Our mountain song Where we belong Where we belong Echoes in the valley Love's embrace In Covewood Lodge We find our place [Verse 3] Campfire nights and starry skies Stories told with weary eyes Moonlight dancing on the shore In this lodge We dream once more [Verse 4] Autumn leaves in colors grand Winter snow upon the land Springtime blooms and summer haze In every season Hearts will praise [Chorus] Oh Covewood Our mountain song Where we belong Where we belong Echoes in the valley Love's embrace In Covewood Lodge We find our place

[Verse] Rising from the ashes we won't fade Breaking chains while storms invade Nature's cry we'll answer loud United hearts we'll make them proud [Chorus] Warriors for climate justice we stand tall Fighting battles answering the call Through the fires and the floods we won't fall Holding hands together we'll save it all [Verse 2] Marching through the cities roaring seas Holding banners swaying with the breeze Each step we take a promise made For the earth our flag will never fade [Bridge] Oceans rising but we won't drown For every tear we'll build a crown Voices fierce like thunder's sound With love we'll heal this battered ground [Chorus] Warriors for climate justice we stand tall Fighting battles answering the call Through the fires and the floods we won't fall Holding hands together we'll save it all [Verse 3] Mountains crumble glaciers weep In our hearts our cause we keep Defenders of our home so dear With every action make it clear

[Verse] Morning sun kissed your eyes awake In your smile my world will quake With tender whispers hearts take flight You are my day and moonlit night [Verse 2] When the rain taps soft on glass Echoes memories of our past Velvet dreams and starry ways In your arms forever stays [Chorus] Take my love oh take it all Catch me when I dare to fall In the silence hear the strings Feel the warmth that true love brings [Verse 3] When the shadows cloak the sky And you feel that urge to cry Know my love will light the dark With a flame ignites a spark [Bridge] Hold me close don’t let me go Through the highs and lowest lows From the earth up to the stars I am yours and you are ours [Chorus] Take my love oh take it all Catch me when I dare to fall In the silence hear the strings Feel the warmth that true love brings

[Verse] Running through the fields with the sun in our eyes Laughter in the air under clear blue skies Climbing up the trees reaching for the stars Dreaming of the future and our life on Mars [Verse] Hide and seek in shadows on endless afternoons Racing down the hill chasing after balloons Skipping stones on rivers where secrets whisper low Etching names in bark where love used to grow [Chorus] Oh the days of gold where time stood still We were young and bold chasing every thrill Memories unfold in the twilight's glow In the stories told of the kids we used to know [Verse] Ice cream dripping down on a summer's heat Barefoot on the ground feeling earth beneath Fireflies dancing in the evening’s haze Night brought tales spun in moonlit craze [Bridge] Now the days rush by and our hair turns gray But those fields remain where we used to play In the heart's domain where the echoes stay Of a lost refrain from that youthful day [Chorus] Oh the days of gold where time stood still We were young and bold chasing every thrill Memories unfold in the twilight's glow In the stories told of the kids we used to know

[Verse] Woke up with the sun shining on my face Gonna seize the day no time to waste Heartbeat drumming like a wild parade In my own groove I've got it made [Verse 2] Phone's buzzing plans are in the air Friends and laughter it's all in the flair Life's an adventure with a twist at every turn With every moment there's something new to learn [Chorus] This is the rhythm of my life today Living it loud with no shades of gray Not looking back on roads gone astray It's my life I'm here to stay [Verse 3] Challenges come and they fade away But my spirit's strong it will never sway Writing my story page by page Stepping on the road towards center stage [Bridge] Push the limits reaching for the sky With every breath I feel so alive Won't be held down by fear or by time In this life's song I'm the perfect rhyme [Chorus] This is the rhythm of my life today Living it loud with no shades of gray Not looking back on roads gone astray It's my life I'm here to stay
