More: www.billheigen.com Drowning Surrounded by a sea of skyscrapers The numbers are my frowning Time takes away my breath Every minute I am drowning The view from up here is gorgeous But I cannot see any beauty All I see is an Ocean of illusions In which greed makes life draggy Few people can realize That a smile is nothing more than teeth A hand-shake is nothing more than skin And on this Ocean of illusions we keep going Because we need to feed our fears And give birth to more problems That should not exist. I wish I could be stronger I wish I could be brave I wish I could have wings to fly away But I am just a fish Swimming to survive Waiting for the moment to die.  less

We'll Play Our Part used with permission words and music by Paul Ayres © 2020 www.paulayres.co.uk Kaitlyn Janzen, soprano Tess Johnson, alto Dane Harder, tenor Nathan Bartel, bass Craig McLeish, piano Lyrics: We stay apart and we don't know for how long we have to sing alone But staying strong so more voices can join us in chorus one day soon.
