Bonnie: You write these letters and you spend your time, Crafting these magical poems in your mind. I can’t wait until you’re free, ` At least we’re married, being what we can be- You know I love you- I know you know I know you love me. Signed, with love, Your sweet wife Bonnie. Mark: Dear Bonnie, I’m sorry that it’s been a while, I’ve been busy tryna get my head around the trial. I wrote you this to tell you that I miss you more, I think about you every night when sleeping on the floor, I think of you, you sleeping in your bed, I cry when I look at all the letters you have sent. It’s horrible, difficult tryna tell you how I feel but- Some shit I can’t write down, I could be killed if they see it. I want to tell you, let you know that I appreciate, All things you do for me you make this cra- zy, place more bearable, more durable Make me unbreakable, My heart for you’s available Can call me yours until the day I have my burial, A wife like you’s commendable so capable, That’s why I’m being lyrical to say- Before I felt invisible, My love for you’s incurable- Incredible, thought I was undesirable, and broken, destined to be alone, But now I know- Bonnie: Stay safe honey it’ll be alright, Your words feel really heavy this time, I can’t wait until you’re free. For now we’re married, you and me. You know I love you- I know you know I know you love me. Signed, kisses, Your darling wife, Bonnie. Mark: Hello, do you remember when we married? For me a guard came to the cell and said ‘DeFriest, you’re married’ I smiled, I thought that I was gonna cry, All I remember is being so happy that night. Happy knowing one day I’ll be out and in your arms, If I survive the beatings from all these fucking guards. Wait, can’t write that down. Shit. Let’s go again. Bonnie, it’s amazing what we’ve found, I’d never give this up, if only I could hear the sound, Of your voice, it would make my year to see your smile. We both aware I’ve been locked down for quite a while. I tell myself there’s only seven more of solitary, Just want some lights you know? It’s beyond scary. 7 more weeks then I can see your face, Look in your eyes, hold your hand, then we embrace. I’ve thought about it, I think a lot; I’ve planned it out, Can’t wait to see you there’s no doubt, about, that. That’s enough from me so how are you? Is Kelsey good? Has she been to see you? Oh, I used you twice, Bonnie I’m sorry feels like my head is in a vice- These pains in my head the doctor says don’t worry, But we’re both aware they don’t want me fixed in a hurry- Sorry bout my writing you know they broke my hand? No treatment or aspirin, their hate I’ll never understand. That’s enough from me now, I’ll write again soon. Keep safe, keep healthy- this poems for you. Hope it makes you smile, brings light to your dark, Okay, I love you, see you soon, kiss - Mark.

[Verse] Underneath aurora lights City whispers through the mist Our shadows waltz on cobblestone A lover's tryst A midnight twist [Verse 2] Harmonies of your sweet sigh Sing the lonely Laugavegur blues Piano notes in rain's embrace Whisper tales the heart pursues [Chorus] Einn nótt í Reykjavík Your eyes They catch the moon Strings of fate and melodies Dancing to an ancient tune [Verse 3] Café corners Candle glow Songs of old and dreams anew Your voice It haunts the twilight air Echoes of what once we knew [Bridge] Gently now The night retreats Morning’s breath upon the Fjord But in this moment We remain One last verse A minor chord [Chorus] Einn nótt í Reykjavík Your eyes They catch the moon Strings of fate and melodies Dancing to an ancient tune
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

(Verse 1 - Lead) Forced to dance upon a stage, Laughter echoes in the dark. (Response - Background) Save us from the master of strings, Pulling tight, we feel the spark. (Verse 2 - Lead) Five souls trapped inside these toys, Innocence turned into cries. (Response - Background) Bodies in disrepair, We wear our pain like a disguise. (Chorus - Lead) Oh, dance, little puppets, don’t break, don’t fall, Underneath the master’s hold, we give it our all. (Response - Background) Smile full of evil, laughter echoes through the night, In this haunted melody, we’re losing the fight. (Bridge 1 - Lead) A violet bunny, hues faded and loss, Forced to hop to a tune it can’t refuse. (Response - Background) A bounded doll spins, till the seams start to fray, Spinning in circles, it feels far away. (Verse 3 - Lead) Lost in shadows, fear in our eyes, Each movement is a reminder of our plight. (Response - Background) Torn and frayed, we long to be free, But the strings pull tight, and we can’t flee. (Chorus - Lead) Oh, dance, little puppets, don’t break, don’t fall, Underneath the master’s hold, we give it our all. (Response - Background) Smile full of evil, laughter echoes through the night, In this haunted melody, we’re losing the fight. (Bridge 2 - Lead) Two puppets trapped, on strings they’re entwined, One forced to dance, the other to sing, confined. (Response - Background) In this eerie ballet, our spirits decay, Caught in a nightmare, we plead for the day. (Verse 4 - Lead) A lonely sack boy, his heart beats slow, Dreams of freedom, but he’s bound by the show. (Response - Background) Together we’re trapped in this sorrowful waltz, Powerless to change, it’s the master’s fault. (Final Chorus - Lead) Oh, dance, little puppets, don’t break, don’t fall, Underneath the master’s hold, we give it our all. (Response - Background) Save us from the master of strings, In this tragic dance, we’re losing our wings. (Outro - Lead) One day we’ll rise, break the chains that bind, No more forced to dance, we’ll leave this behind. (Response - Background) With a laugh we’ll reclaim, the joy that we’ve lost, In the dance of the 5, we’ll pay any cost. (Fade out - Lead) Save us from the master of strings... (Response - Background) Save us from the master of strings...

(Aquecimento) (0:15-1:15) Em pé, pés na largura dos ombros, vamos começar! Rotação de pescoço, pra lá e pra cá, devagar. (10 segundos) Ombros pra cima, bem alto, e relaxar. Dez vezes repetindo, sem parar. (10 segundos) Braços pra frente, como um nadador, Pra trás também, com todo vigor! (10 segundos) Tronco girando, pra um lado e pro outro, Mãos na cintura, com ritmo e outro! (10 segundos) Joelhos subindo, como um soldado, Alternando as pernas, bem animado! (10 segundos) Pés em movimento, circular, Pra um lado e pro outro, sem vacilar! (10 segundos) Cedisa! Mexa-se e renove as energias! Corpo ativo, mente produtiva, é só começar! Cedisa em movimento, saúde e energia no trabalho! Venha com a gente, se alongar, se soltar! (Alongamento) (1:15-4:15) Pescoço inclinado, pro lado direito, Mão direita segurando, com jeitinho. Quinze segundos e troca de lado, Alongando o corpo, bem relaxado. (30 segundos) Braço direito cruzado, na frente do peito, Mão esquerda segurando, com muito respeito. Quinze segundos e troca de lado, Esticando os músculos, sem cuidado. (30 segundos) Braço estendido, palma da mão pra cima, Pulso dobrado, com a outra mão que domina. Quinze segundos e troca de lado, Alongando o braço, bem devagarado. (30 segundos) Pernas afastadas, na largura dos ombros, Tronco inclinado, pro lado, sem sobressaltos. Mão deslizando, pela perna, sem pressa, Quinze segundos e troca de lado, com certeza. (30 segundos) Em pé, segurando o pé, com a mão, Puxando em direção ao glúteo, com atenção. Quinze segundos e troca de lado, Alongando a perna, com cuidado. (30 segundos) Mãos na parede, um passo para trás, Calcanhar no chão, corpo para frente, sem mais. Panturrilha alongada, sentindo o efeito, Quinze segundos e troca de lado, com jeito. (30 segundos) Cedisa! Mexa-se e renove as energias! Corpo ativo, mente produtiva, é só começar! Cedisa em movimento, saúde e energia no trabalho! Venha com a gente, se alongar, se soltar! (Relaxamento) (4:15-5:00) Olhos fechados, respire fundo, Pelo nariz, expandindo o mundo. Solte o ar pela boca, devagar, Dez vezes repetindo, para relaxar. (40 segundos) Braços e pernas, balançando leve, Relaxando o corpo, que se eleve. (20 segundos) (5:00-5:15) Cedisa! Mexa-se e renove as energias! Corpo ativo, mente produtiva, todo dia! Cedisa em movimento, saúde e energia no trabalho! Continue se movendo, com alegria!
[Verse] Danny my man you walk so tall With eyes that see and arms that call Through every storm you stand so strong Been dancing to your love so long [Verse 2] On city streets where lights are dim Your shadow dances on the whim Of every hope and every dream You paint my life in shades of cream [Chorus] Danny oh Danny you're my dawn You bring the sun when night's too long With every word you say to me You make my world a symphony [Verse 3] In moments when life weighs me down You lift me up without a frown Your smile it shines just like the stars I'm safe whenever you’re in arms [Verse 4] The jukebox plays our favorite song And in your arms it won’t be long Till every worry fades away With you my nights turn into day [Chorus] Danny oh Danny you're my dawn You bring the sun when night's too long With every word you say to me You make my world a symphony

In the shadow of dreams, walk alone Trying to make you proud, make you see Even with the pain, I call you my home In my heart where you'll always be Though I’m feeling blue, I’ll rise anew For you, I’ll shine, I’ll break through With love so deep, it’s all I know To make you proud, to let it show Struggling with my mind, I fight the tide But your love, it keeps me alive In this journey, I won’t hide For us, I will survive — [New Verse] — Every tear I cry, I hold inside Still, I chase the dream you can't deny I’m fighting ghosts from days gone by, But I need you to see me try. I feel your weight on my chest, The words unsaid, the love repressed. I’m lost, but I’m still holding on, Fighting to prove that I belong. I’m not the person you thought I’d be, But I’m still here, still trying to see A way to make you proud of me, To heal the wounds, set us both free. — [Chorus Repeat] — Though I’m feeling blue, I’ll rise anew For you, I’ll shine, I’ll break through With love so deep, it’s all I know To make you proud, to let it show Struggling with my mind, I fight the tide But your love, it keeps me alive In this journey, I won’t hide For us, I will survive
[Verse] Bring me little water now Bring me little water Sylvie Don’t you see I’m burning dry Quench this thirst I can't deny [Verse 2] Walking miles just to find Water clear that’s on my mind Sylvie you’re my oasis Save me from this desert’s traces [Chorus] Bring me little water now Bring me little water Sylvie Only you can quench this fire Settle down my heart’s desire [Bridge] Sun is high and shadows thin Every drop is worth the win Sylvie you're my saving grace In your arms I find my place [Verse 3] River's calling out your name Flow into my soul the same Sylvie come and pour me peace Let these restless moments cease [Chorus] Bring me little water now Bring me little water Sylvie Only you can quench this fire Settle down my heart’s desire
