City Lights 04:48
Oh what a thrill to be taking that trip to the city to see a favourite show with some touring company People everywhere pass by without a care from all walks of life like moths drawn to light Come down now Come to the city tonight There you’ll find brighter skies Than you’ll ever see A full moon out there (A full moon out there) Come take a risk with me The path is lit City skyline Fingerprint of a city Come down now Come to the city tonight There you’ll find brighter skies Than you’ll ever see The city streetlights, the busy nightlife Stars through the milky way You catch your breath Steaming pavement Sparks flying in the city

Naima 06:42
You seemed to know How things would be Where does time go When you’re living free? Your beauty shined to all who knew you there was light In the dark You could see, you were free Oh Naima Where does time go? Oh Naima, time for you to fly Time for you to fly Time for you to fly Fly

Open your mind, process your thoughts There’s a window there A path of uncertainty, doubtful, hopeful, out with the old and in with the new We’ll work on that… It’s time to take chances Just take the next step There’s only one path, it’s straight ahead No waiting Open your mind… Talk of affirmations A chance to change those thoughts So much to know Ready to grow… So listen Open your mind… Something to work on, quite right Want to shine, shine in your own right Something to work on that’s okay Why not meet me half way? We’ll work on that together Something to work on, that’s okay There’s a match made in heaven every day Something to work on, quite right Want to shine, shine in your own right Want to shine, shine in your own right Free, free to be who you want to be Peace love and harmony Gone are all the boundaries in the end we are all the same we just need an open mind

Should we, shouldn’t we should we dance? Should we, shouldn’t we consolidate our romance? Should we, shouldn’t we take one step? I shouldn’t, I couldn’t it’s just too soon. Should we, could we have no regrets? Should we, could we? It’s time to confess Should we, could we call off all bets? We should & we could, but this feels so good  Chorus I don’t know Where this could lead Been down this path before But this feels right this time We might as well explore Should we, shouldn’t we make our first move? Should we, shouldn’t we set up a first date? Should we, could we go fast or go slow? I shouldn’t, I couldn’t it’s just too soon.

City of Yes 03:50
What is wrong with seeking the truth? What is wrong with pointing out injustice? Look at how we’ve gone back in time We’ve become a country with narrow views Gotta’ right the wrongs of the past Gotta’ challenge the status quo What’s the point of livin’ in the river denial or livin’ in a sea of apathy What’s the point of letting fear rules us With all the talk of borders and security Why not bring out the best in us Come on let us speak for humanity Make this the city of yes Not the city of no Don’t wanna’ hear no, don’t wanna’ hear no Want to hear yes, yes, yes, yes Nerves are strained in the city of no Want to shine in the city of yes Make this the city of yes Not the city of no Don’t wanna’ hear no, don’t wanna’ hear no Want to hear yes, yes, yes, yes Nerves are strained in the city of no Want to shine in the city of yes Nerves are strained in the city of no Want to shine in the city of yes Nerves are strained in the city of no Want to shine
