Echoes of the Prairie

[Verse] Whispered secrets in the night Moonlit dreams that take flight Dancing shadows play Delight Hearts are tangled Love’s bright light [Verse 2] Winds will carry songs of old Stories of the brave and bold In this tale our love's retold Through the warmth Night’s cold unfolds [Chorus] Dil sun le Echoes ring Memories in the moonlight sing Forever bound by this one thing Love that makes our spirits spring [Verse 3] Waves caress the sandy shore In our hearts We crave for more Every moment Love's sweet lore In your eyes I see adore [Bridge] Stars align with every glance Caught up in this moonlit trance In your arms We take a chance Lost in love’s enchanting dance [Chorus] Dil sun le Echoes ring Memories in the moonlight sing Forever bound by this one thing Love that makes our spirits spring

When the weight of the world is pressing down, And your weary heart can barely make a sound. When the night is long, and hope feels gone, Remember, you’re not walking this alone. Lift your eyes to where the light breaks through, In the quiet, He whispers peace to you. There’s peace beyond the storm, strength within the fight, Love that holds you close through the darkest night. Rest in His embrace, lay your burdens down, In the arms of grace, you’ll find solid ground. When the road ahead is shrouded and unclear, And every step is tangled up in fear. His promises stand, they won’t ever fade, Trust His steady hand through the waves. Breathe in deep, and know He holds your soul, In the chaos, He’s still in control. There’s peace beyond the storm, strength within the fight, Love that holds you close through the darkest night. Rest in His embrace, lay your burdens down, In the arms of grace, you’ll find solid ground. You are seen, you are known, in every tear you cry, His mercy flows like rivers, never running dry. Hold fast to His truth, let His comfort lead, In your deepest valley, He meets every need. There’s peace beyond the storm, strength within the fight, Love that holds you close through the darkest night. Rest in His embrace, lay your burdens down, In the arms of grace, you’ll find solid ground. When the storm has passed, and dawn brings light, His love remains, still holding you tight. Through every season, He’s faithful and true, In every trial, His peace carries you.

Where were you on the night of thunder? When hailstones covered the land When thunder jarred the earth asunder And struck fear in every cowhand? Dare to sleep if you will. There’s a rumble in the hills. The sound of thunder so chilling. It starts the herd milling. An old steer snorted. Then another got up Like rising from the dead A raging fire began to spread. A roar of a thousand trumpets An Erie glow descended. Like fingers of lights on horns A stampede is born. Like a snake coiled ready to strike Shield your eyes from the light. For the Fox Fire is here With vengeance tonight. Where were you on the night of thunder When hailstones covered the land When thunder jarred the earth asunder And struck fear in every cowhand? Don’t hesitate in the thicket of hell. Grip your reins and clutch your pommel. Forget the rain, hail, and dust. Shut your eyes if you must. Ride your pony for him you trust. He’s busting a gut to turn the tide. So, Cowboy do what you must To hell with Fox Fire Through rain, wind, dust, and mud The Stampede slows and all is calm Cookie offers a tin of coffee to the weary. But,l when it’s all said and done Those dam hides and horns those waddies still love. Where were you on the night of thunder When hailstones covered the land When thunder jarred the earth asunder And struck fear in every cowhand?

[Verse] We met where the trumpets sang so sweet, In the jazz band, where our shy glances meet. Middle school notes swayed us left and right, Who knew then, you'd be my guiding light? [Verse 2] Homework battles and late-night calls, High school dances, we faced it all. With band practice taking up our days, In those moments, love found its ways. [Chorus] Forever and always, you're my best friend, From middle school starts to where we now stand. Through all the years and endless night talks, We grew together through love's tender walks. [Verse 3] Strumming strings and tapping feet, Our hearts made a beat so bittersweet. Five years later, under the moon's soft arc, We're dancing together in the deepest dark. [Bridge] Rings on our fingers that tell our tale, From youthful dreams to a love that prevails. Side by side, we're stronger by far, Our love shines brighter than any star. [Chorus] Forever and always, you're my best friend, From middle school starts to where we now stand. Through all the years and endless night talks, We grew together through love's tender walks. Rings on our fingers that tell our tale, From youthful dreams to a love that prevails. Side by side, we're stronger by far, Our love shines brighter than any star. [Chorus] Forever and always, you're my best friend, From middle school starts to where we now stand. Through all the years and endless night talks, We grew together through love's tender walks.

Down in Mansfield, on a campus so bright, There’s Donna Hight, keeps the students in line, Dean of the school, got that boss lady grace, She runs the whole show with a smile on her face. But at night when she’s home, and the work day is done, She’s got a partner in crime, a love that’s second to none, It’s Alex Naples, her sweet McDonald’s wife, A 70s soul who’s lived a colorful life. Chorus Oh, Donna and Alex, they make the perfect pair, One’s a campus queen, the other’s a teacher who cares, With their love so strong, they can take on the world, One’s got the books, and the other’s got the curls. From the classroom to the fries, they’re always in sync, Two hearts beat together, faster than you’d think. Donna and Alex, oh what a story they write, Love’s got no rules, just a flame burning bright. Verse 2 Now Alex is a student, on the road to teach, Middle childhood dreams, she’s got that wisdom to reach, With a heart full of passion and a mind full of plans, She’s ready to shape the next generation of hands. But she don’t just work the counter, no, she’s got more to give, She teaches the kids the way she’s always lived, In a world full of change, love’s the thing that stays, Like a vinyl record spinning those sweet 70s days. Chorus Oh, Donna and Alex, they make the perfect pair, One’s a campus queen, the other’s a teacher who cares, With their love so strong, they can take on the world, One’s got the books, and the other’s got the curls. From the classroom to the fries, they’re always in sync, Two hearts beat together, faster than you’d think. Donna and Alex, oh what a story they write, Love’s got no rules, just a flame burning bright. Bridge In the small-town air, they’re a beacon of pride, No secrets to hide, just love on their side, From Mansfield to the drive-thru, they’re makin’ their mark, Like a sweet summer firefly lighting up the dark. Chorus Oh, Donna and Alex, they make the perfect pair, One’s a campus queen, the other’s a teacher who cares, With their love so strong, they can take on the world, One’s got the books, and the other’s got the curls. From the classroom to the fries, they’re always in sync, Two hearts beat together, faster than you’d think. Donna and Alex, oh what a story they write, Love’s got no rules, just a flame burning bright. Outro So here’s to the ladies, from the 70s to now, Teaching us all how to love anyhow, Donna and Alex, they stand proud and true, Showin’ the world love is always brand new.

[Verse] They call him Eddie the Gun out by the long cliff Dust in his boots no place for the swift In the corral where shadows sit still Gun fighting the slows with iron and will [Verse 2] Eddie's hand quick like a striking snake Whispers of legends by the still lake Tumbleweeds crawling the dusty terrain A heartbeat syncs with the clinking chain [Chorus] Eddie the Gun never misses his mark In the twilight dim or the noon stark Echoes of shots paint the evening red A tale of fate that cowboys dread [Verse 3] He faces the wind that bites like a knife Twilight's approaching compressing life Heads held down prayers in the air Eddie stands steady with a lion's glare [Chorus] Eddie the Gun never misses his mark In the twilight dim or the noon stark Echoes of shots paint the evening red A tale of fate that cowboys dread [Bridge] Years gone by stories still told Of Eddie the Gun and his heart of cold Lone star night and the desert's embrace No one's forgotten his solemn face

just another night under the stadium lights It’s been so long since we’ve been here this time it’s against the knights used to be every year… every year all the kids get outta school to watch the game where we put together a show like William Shakespeare hope one day I’ll be in the hall of fame Next to the greatest of all time

Eva’s Trots Songtekst [Verse 1] Eva loopt door de storm, het hoofd omhoog, Diepe dalen achter haar, zoveel wat ze verloor. Maar ze bouwde haar leven, plank voor plank, Een railsysteem van dromen, waar ze zelf voor dankt. [Pre-Chorus] Ze kijkt naar haar dochter, ziet haar eigen kracht, Een spiegel van hoop, die het leven verzacht. En naast haar, haar hondje, klein maar trouw, Hij geeft haar een reden, hij houdt van haar jou. [Chorus] Eva’s trots, een vuur dat brandt, Een strijd van het hart, met kracht in haar hand. Haar dochter, haar ster, haar hondje dichtbij, Ze reist door het leven, vrij en zij aan zij. [Verse 2] De wegen waren krom, het pad zo zwaar, Maar ze bleef altijd vechten, met een blik zo klaar. Haar verleden mag fluisteren, ze luistert niet meer, Ze kijkt naar de toekomst, voelt de zon steeds weer. [Pre-Chorus] Elke stap een overwinning, elke traan een les, Eva bouwt haar wereld, steen voor steen met succes. En haar hondje, zo klein, maar een grote vriend, Een sprankje licht in het donker, waar hij altijd dient. [Chorus] Eva’s trots, een vuur dat brandt, Een strijd van het hart, met kracht in haar hand. Haar dochter, haar ster, haar hondje dichtbij, Ze reist door het leven, vrij en zij aan zij. [Bridge] Geen berg te hoog, geen dal te diep, Ze hield zich vast aan wat ze lief. Een moeder, een vechter, een vrouw met een plan, Eva schrijft haar verhaal, met haar eigen hand. [Chorus] Eva’s trots, een vuur dat brandt, Een strijd van het hart, met kracht in haar hand. Haar dochter, haar ster, haar hondje dichtbij, Ze reist door het leven, vrij en zij aan zij. [Outro] Eva kijkt naar voren, haar blik zo vrij, Met haar dochter en hondje aan haar zij. Een leven vol liefde, ondanks de pijn, Eva’s trots zal altijd bij haar zijn.

The Fire once filled me It could now be extinguished I'll never see another day Where I see my future And I will live my life I got nothing to lose And I'll never feel the shame No matter what you do You'll never take my place But maybe you were wrong You'll never feel ashamed You didn't know my name Till I was gone And you never felt a thing Now I'm just a memory All my dreams come true Because of what you have done My soul may carry on never feel again Never will I feel this way Never have a chance again And never will I say goodbye

[Instrumental]

Verse 1 The fire’s gone, the hearth is cold, The sturdy walls now crumble, old. Her home destroyed by cruelest hands, She walks away from familiar lands. Beneath the frost, she takes her place, Among the foes with hardened face. Not for honor, pride, or fame, But just to live—no other aim. Chorus Oh, gentle girl, lost in war, You dream of love, you wish for more. The sword’s your song, the spear’s your tune, Your fate is sealed beneath the moon. Verse 2 She cloaks herself in dark disguise, And walks among the enemy’s lies. Their flags are raised, their voices grim, Their fight’s not hers, yet she’s with them. “Perhaps,” she whispers, “hope will stay, And guide me through this stormy way.” But love’s embrace is far and thin, And cold regret creeps deep within. Chorus Oh, gentle girl, lost in war, You dream of love, you wish for more. The sword’s your song, the spear’s your tune, Your fate is sealed beneath the moon. Bridge Not for riches, not for pride, But just to keep her soul alive. The battlefield becomes her stage, Her youth consumed by endless rage. Still, deep within, a small light burned, For kinder days, a peace she yearned. Verse 3 But time was cruel, her years were few, Her heart was strong, her spirit true. Beneath the stars, she met her end, A fleeting life the world won’t mend. The evil cause for which she bled, A bitter path her fate had led. Her name now lingers in the wind, A tale of loss, a heart that sinned. Final Chorus Oh, gentle girl, lost in war, You dream of love, you wish for more. The sword’s your song, the spear’s your tune, Your fate is sealed beneath the moon. Outro So fades the tale of a girl so fair, Her dreams now dust, her heart laid bare. Though skies may weep and winds may cry, Her fleeting hope will always die.
