Shine 03:17
Shine By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser What have I done What was I thinking I must be out of my mind To get on a boat that’s clearly sinking Like a deer in the headlights Freaked, scared and stuck With the impossible task of saving a town that’s down on its luck I wanna run Where no one can find me Fade into the crowd Where it’s noisy and loud in New York City I could leave this place forever Get into my car and go But a tiny little voice in the back of my head says no I need a sign To point me in the right direction A life that I design A world where I won’t face rejection And if all the stars align I could shine Maybe I’m close Maybe this is a test To get back on the horse, stay the course and hope for the best. I can see down the road There are mountains to climb The sun is going down and I’m running out of time I’ve got nothing to lose I might as well just jump in Get into the game ready to aim and shoot for a win I can forget the past Bounce back and rebound ‘Cause a tiny little voice in the back of my head says stick around, ‘cause This is a sign I'm heading in the right direction A life that I design Where I no longer fear rejection And if all the stars align I could Shine I’ll stop the voice that keeps reminding me of my mistakes And be found out that I don’t have what it takes But I do And I can ‘Cause my destiny awaits Right here, right now Standing just outside the gates With everything on the line This is my chance to shine Shine Shine Shine

My One and Only By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser Lou: You’re a man of science With a knack for calculation So you’ve probably deduced that We’re the worst combination We make a bad hypothesis For coronary fusion But this theory can’t be tested So I’ve drawn my own conclusion You’re my one and only Just for tonight You’re my mister right now ‘Til morning light You’re my Cinderfella Till twelve o’clock You can row this boat all night Whaddyasay, Doc? You’re my one and only Under the moon You’re my speeding comet That’s gone too soon You’re my shooting star Wherever you may land You’ll always be my one and only One night stand Doc: You’re my one and only Lady on the lake You’re my last hurrah The icing on the cake You’re my sleeping beauty Well worth the wait Who knew that this would be Our first and final date You’re my one and only Blue eyed southern belle You’re my lucky penny In a wishing well You’re the pot of gold I’ll never hold in my hand but You’ll always be my one and only One night stand Doc: Are you sure about this? Lou: Let’s not think about it Let’s not ponder what could be Let’s not talk about the future Or even say “let’s see” Let’s not focus on what’s not “cause let’s face it” Tonight is all we’ve got Both: You’re my one and only Just for tonight A one hit wonder By candlelight You’re the rock to my roll You’re the heart to my soul And at least for right now we won’t ever be lonely My one and only!

That was me, A lady__ Doesn’t ever cross the line Drinking beer instead of wine Filthy swine! I won’t live in a zoo Surrounded by monkeys I bid them adieu. That’s not me, I’m a lady A gentleman caller will give me reprieve And sweep me away with great joie de vivre He’ll see, I’m a lady. A lady!

Fallen Star 03:52
Fallen Star By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser R: What happens to a star that’s fallen? Do all the wishes vanish in thin air?

83 Steps 03:33
83 Steps By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser His room Their house A cot is not a bed No space No rest A shoe thrown at my head Overhearing conversations That I’m the source of their frustrations Missing all the things I used to know... Glow stars On my ceiling A song about Major Tom Smelling of cigarettes Laughing With my mom Maybe I would be okay If I could make it home today And looking out this window I can see It’s Just 83 Steps away Mismatched chairs and quotes clipped and taped to the fridge A walk around the lake Daybreak Scavenging and finding olds cogs and wheels That life was real A shooting star I wish I could go back in time Spacesuit Engine’s on Brave and strong That’s what they’d say If I could just go 83 steps away, away... I see a light in her window Her silhouette through the shade Is this a dream where I’ll wake up and find she’s not there But I don’t care It’ll be okay In just 83 steps away, Away Out the door 83 steps Across the field 83 steps Through the woods 83 steps Jump the fence 83 steps I’m almost home, follow the light (83 steps) I believe this is the night (83 steps) I’ll be free it’s finally up to me in 83 Only 83 steps away

Penny in a Stream (Clare’s Song) By Tor Hyams and Lisa Rothauser Verse I thought I saw your eyes, on someone else’s face On the lower east side between Orchard and Allen There were stars in the sky And a DJ spinning Journey. Where you said goodbye for the last time. Pre chorus And Oh, you played it smart I’m the one that fell apart I can still hear you laughing. Chorus Try it all, jump to fall, Never looking down. Born to fly In the light Never touch the ground I saw your reflection in a dream Like a penny in a stream. Verse A chill was in the air, the end of December We thought we’d live forever, angels in the snow You held my hand and said you’d be okay You were moving to LA in the new year Pre chorus And Oh, you played it smart I’m the one that fell apart I can still hear you laughing. Chorus Try it all, jump to fall, Never looking down. Born to fly In the light Never touch the ground I saw your reflection in a dream Like a penny in a stream. Bridge (“Home….”) If I had three wishes, this is what they’d be… A pair of wings so I could fly with you. A second chance to be happy And lastly, I wish I could see your face Chorus Try it all, jump to fall, Never looking down. Born to fly In the light Never touch the ground Try it all, jump to fall, Never looking down. Born to fly In the light Never touch the ground You walked the line, Wasted no time, You were born to shine, Unseen…. Like a penny in a stream.

DAMNED IF I DO By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser I’m ready to see my mother again it’ll be okay Not even she could bring me down no not today I’ll put on a smile I’ll hold up my chin Another chance to begin My room hasn’t changed, not one bit, in twenty years Down to the lacquer furniture we bought from Sears She doesn’t try She doesn’t bend And nothing seems to work out in the end ‘Cause I’m damned if I do And I’m damned if I don’t When I say I would She says she won’t So I go and I go and I go and I go until she says stop Always waiting for the other shoe to drop The ups and downs, the highs and lows were all I knew And every conversation left me black and blue There’s no way in There’s no way out But there’s one thing I know without a doubt That I’m damned if I do And I’m damned if I don’t When I say I would She says she won’t So I go and I go and I go and I go until she says stop Always waiting for Always waiting for the other shoe to drop

Unreal 03:29
Running late for another date Another charity event to tell the world we matter What to wear. "shit," I gottaʼ dry my hair Did my dress shrink in the wash or am I getting fatter My roots are getting grayer And my face could use an extra layer of collagen Is that a double chin...”fuck!” Thomas: Sweety, are you ready? Maya: Not yet Thomas: What's your ETD? Maya: Don't rush me! God I swear He can be so unfair It takes no time for a man to be dressed and ready... "okay" Make up's good Looking like a trophy should I need a second glass of wine for my hand to steady Been questioning my morals A lifetime filled with quarrels is where we are Have we really only come this far? Who is that reflection Staring back at me, Where did she go that Girl from St. Louie I don't know why or how I got to feel That girl... So unreal. Thomas: So...Is that's what youʼre wearing? Maya: Uh, yeah. Thomas: Donʼt you think that dress is a little slutty? Maya: Um...I think it shrunk Thomas: Itʼs not appropriate Maya: Ok. Iʼll change. Here I go puttinʼ on another show Another game of make believe and I know my role The perfect wife in the perfect life I made a deal with the devil and sold my soul Thomas: Letʼs Go. I needed his protection Become his projection a fantasy Under lock and key Who is that reflection Staring back at me Where did she go that Girl from St. Louie, I don't know why or how I got to feel That girl... So unreal. So unreal I sleepwalk through my day And dream of running away I see a bird Whoʼs locked in a cage Sheʼs wants to be free But sheʼs afraid Open the door Say goodbye To that girl Time to fly

I can still smell her hair From when we hugged goodbye Wondering why I'm not just staying here We’re shooting inside now? Of course. She hates natural light. Hold on... Will this phone call ever end? Minutes, hours How long has it been? I don't think I can take much more Every moment that passes My heart hits the floor and I gotta get out of here Make an excuse Jump out of this car She couldn't have gotten too far I bet I could catch her If I didn't have to go to Chicago I can't wait 'til Friday That's when I see her again I'll take her to dinner A walk in the park on Friday Stay there..what? Through Friday?! Hold on. Let me check my schedule. Fuck! I can tell him I’ve got plans That I just can't break He'll understand. If it was any other day, sorry, but... I can't do Friday. So listen I have to go I'm almost home Gotta get off the phone I'll call you when I land And we'll hit the ground running I know that we can....so I'll see you in Chicago. Oh...no... I hate Chicago I can’t stand to get on one more plane I hate Chicago This trip is really messin’ with my brain ‘Cause it's in between here and there, In the middle of nowhere All because, she's not in... Chicago! I hate Chicago They can have their bulls and their bears Lakeshore drive is a parking lot The windy city is not that hot And fuck Wrigley Field...nobody cares! I really really really hate Chicago! The last place in the world I wanna be A big old lake and a theater scene They got the blues and two baseball teams Truth be told, Chicago's not so bad... But there's one thing Chicago doesn't have She's not in Chicago That's why I hate Chicago I can’t go to Chicago

Stealing Time By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser BEN: Light filled the room And then you appeared You smiled and moved closer Like walking trough a picture perfect moment with you But that was before I knew You touched my hand And ran through my eyes And laughed just like a child Saw right through my disguise So I took it as a sign Two hearts stealing time The perfect crime I saw you in a dream MAYA: I heard you call my name BEN: Echoes of beauty MAYA: The smile on your face looked straight into my soul MAYA/BEN: And took away the pain MAYA: I was so lost Left all alone I slipped through the cracks 'Til you led me home And despite all the warnings and signs MAYA/BEN: We're stealing time The perfect crime Stealing time The perfect crime ‘Cause all these years I was slowly dying Not living just surviving Holding on, hoping you'd arrive Stealing time The perfect crime Stealing time The perfect crime Stealing time

Out in the Open By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser BEN: One chair at the table now One man to manage somehow But I'll find my way Traffic moves, a city speaks A baby cries, a faucet leaks The music of a new day Getting nearer So much clearer The sky’s a deeper shade of blue Now after all that we've been through I'm on my way to you Laughing Playing Believing You are enough and there is… Daylight Sunshine Waiting Anticipating All that till now was unspoken Out in the open MAYA: One alarm clock rang today One blanket to pull away Half the bed is made Take a breath, rising up Coffee's on, a single cup And I feel the sun through the shade Any second Any moment Today is so long overdue Now after all that we've been through I'm on my way to you Smiling Dreaming Believing You are enough and there is… Daylight Sunshine Waiting Anticipating All that 'til now was unspoken Out in the open BEN/MAYA: Two lives One heart Together Feels like the first time We are seeing, believing It's finally the real thing No more deceiving Leaving the past Leaving the past Unfrozen Awakened Breathing Out in the open Daylight Sunshine Waiting Anticipating All that till now was unspoken Out in the open

What Happens Now By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser I got up early for a flight that afternoon I packed my bags, kissed my wife like I always do She didn’t have the nerve to say what we both already know We’re stuck and I couldn’t wait to go I adjusted my watch to central standard time Dropped my bags, took a walk and sat in the park for awhile I saw a woman crying on the phone She said "it's never enough I feel all alone" What happens now She lost her way She knew he couldn't take away her pain She never cried She pushed it down She needed to keep both feet on the ground I went back to my hotel and watched TV But it was lonely there so I went downstairs and ordered a drink A business man sat next to me and began to complain Don't remember the last time I laughed, ain't that a shame? I couldn't sleep at all though it was late So I went to the Duane Reade 'cause they had a pill to take The man who worked the counter said his name was Ben He once had a dream but never again What happens now He lost his way He knew he couldn't take away the pain He didn't try There wasn't time We shared a name but we didn't share a life But right at that moment something inside of me died And I cried The women in the park afraid to be alone The man at the bar who couldn't laugh The guy at the Duane Reade who gave up on his dream That's Ben. That's me. What happens now I lost my way I pushed out all the sadness and the pain God only knows There's only today There's no turning back now no more running away What happens now

Say Hello By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser BEN: What a party, look at all these people Everyone has someone else, but I'm here alone I've gotta' break out if I'm gonna' try and start over Why is it so hard for me just to say hello? MAYA: Looking around I recognize so many faces Yesterday wasn't so long ago The daily routine seems to always get in the way Why didn't I just reach out and say hello? BEN/MAYA: I'm overhearing a series of conversations Happily married, two kids, and a 401k On paper it all looks so perfect and tied in a bow If that's all it took to be happy I would have been happier long ago Craving direction Finding connection Between who I am and the me that I used to be Keeping the promise to listen to my heart Never let it go And now it's time to step up, step out It's time to let go A moment, a look or a touch is just the beginning Beginning to learn how to trust in today There's more than one way to start over and make an impression It's never too late to be happy right now I know that my heart could be happy somehow It's probably closer than I even know Maybe it starts with a simple… Hello!

A Good Day 03:25
A Good Day By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser Have a good day See you later It'll be okay There’s a million things to do So I guess I’ll be on my way Maybe the gym For a spin class P90x Could tighten my ass What am I thinking. I haven’t exercised in fifteen years, never mind getting on a bike. I am hungry. I can work out after I eat. Time for lunch Call the ladies I have a hunch They'll have a bloody mary that is waiting just for me But I never used to drink at noon Or worry how I held a spoon I guess I'm really livin' out the dream Well it sure beats waiting tables back in queens Hey, Sarah. I’m on my way. I thought I was picking you up. Oh. Okay, well, I guess I’ll just go to the store and grab something for dinner. See you at home. I love this store It's my fairway Who could ask for more? You're outta fish and chicken What the fuck is wrong with you?! “Sorry...I'm really sorry.” I never used to act like this Why do I care if they're out of fish Have I really changed this much How'd I get so out of touch? Maybe livin’ the dream isn't what it seems The seven train to Jackson Heights Smelling Chinese food all night I'm missing my fifth floor walk up back in queens

I Never Jumped At All (Jeannie’s Song) By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser I never met a person who could honestly say They’re completely together, In every way, that’s crap. No one has a map, or a crystal ball, Sometimes you jump Sometimes you fall I should know, I’ve never jumped at all When I was a little girl, all I wanted to do was sing, And more than anything I loved the King and I___ Was running around the house, playing Anna, dancing One, two, three, one, two three One, two three, one two three. Then into the room my mother came and said, Go to sleep. It’s time for bed. As soon as I turned eighteen, I was free. So I got in my car and drove to New York City. With a fifty dollar bill and my lucky shoes I had nothing to lose I was ready to pay my dues And then I got the call that changed everything. So I came home Because they told me to I came home ‘Cause that’s what daughters do And even though I never really got the chance To fall in love with the King, I still love to dance, But my lucky shoes are hanging on the wall, And I’m still afraid, I may never jump…at all.
