Ride 03:31
I can’t stand the way I feel I got my hands upon the wheel Starring through the glass Watching cars that pass I can’t stand the way I feel Trapped inside this cage again I don’t want to see the day begin Driving much too slow Moving with the flow Trapped inside this cage again Get up, get out, I can’t hide I’m not going to stay here trapped inside, I’ve got to get on out and ride the road is calling out to me the summer breeze will set me free. Stepping through the door My soul begs for more the road is calling out to me Get up, get out, I can’t hide I’m not going to stay here trapped inside, I’ve got to get on out and ride Fire it up, rev it up, and hit the road Rolling down the highway I can lighten my load The sun, the sound, the wind in my hair I’m going to ride. I’m going to ride. Fire it up, rev it up, and hit the road Rolling down the highway I can lighten my load The sun, the sound, the wind in my hair I’m going to ride. I’m going to ride. I’m going to ride.

Another day above ground Walking round in a circle again I need to hear I love you It brings me up when I’m feeling down I struggle with my own mind To make some sense of all the world I need you more than ever My shining light in the dark Under the stars at midnight It’s where I want to be Hand-in-hand in the moonlight Sets my spirit free Cause you’re the one that I dream of When I’m all alone (when I’m all alone) Take my hand and believe me When I say you’re the one (when I say you’re the one) You’re the one Another day in paradise It all looks better when you are near We watch the years go by us My mind hides the mirror’s lies The only one that knows me The only one I want to know. When I hear I love you Takes me back to where it all began. Under the stars at midnight It’s where I want to be Hand-in-hand in the moonlight Sets my spirit free Cause you’re the one that I dream of When I’m all alone (when I’m all alone) Take my hand and believe me When I say you’re the one (when I say you’re the one) You’re the one Cause you’re the one that I dream of When I’m all alone (when I’m all alone) Take my hand and believe me When I say you’re the one (when I say you’re the one) You’re the one Cause you’re the one that I dream of When I’m all alone (when I’m all alone) Take my hand and believe me When I say you’re the one (when I say you’re the one) You’re the one

Win or Lose 02:48
Where you going to be when it all goes down And what you going to do when you hit the ground Stand up, sit down, or step aside I’m not going miss this ride Said it before and I’ll say it again It’s never too late, to get up and begin Talk the talk and walk the mile I don’t care about what’s in style It’s up to you To win or lose You can choose To win or lose Do it my way or not at all How can you learn unless you fall Pick up the pieces; one by one You got to walk before you can run The years go by without a sound Stand up tall, get off the ground One life to live, to make or break Go for it all, it’s yours to take It’s up to you To win or lose You can choose To win or lose Where you going to be when it all goes down And what you going to do when you hit the ground Stand up, sit down, or step aside I’m not going miss this ride Said it before and I’ll say it again It’s never too late, to get up and begin Talk the talk and walk the mile I don’t care about what’s in style It’s up to you To win or lose You can choose To win or lose

Rocketship 03:18
He’s 5 years old, he’s forever bold, he built a rocket ship It’s lean and fast and it’s good on gas, he’s going to take a trip He’s got to go, he can’t be late Going to clear the pad, he just can’t wait His helmet on, all systems go Here comes the fun, 4 3 2 1 Hop right in, throw the switch to begin, on my rocket ship It sounds like a kitty, and the flames look so pretty, on my rocket ship It’s Got windows on the side, and a hyper drive, on my rocket ship I’m blasting into space Moving slow isn’t part of the show, he’s going to see the stars Light speed drive makes him feel alive, he’s passing planet Mars Turn and dive, twist and roll Pushing the edge, he’s in control Scanners on, something ahead Red Alert, 4 3 2 1 Hop right in, throw the switch to begin, on my rocket ship It sounds like a kitty, and the flames look so pretty, on my rocket ship It’s Got windows on the side, and a hyper drive, on my rocket ship I’m blasting into space Hop right in, throw the switch to begin, on my rocket ship It sounds like a kitty, and the flames look so pretty, on my rocket ship It’s Got windows on the side, and a hyper drive, on my rocket ship I’m blasting into space Invaders fly from out of the sky, to destroy the Earth Traveling faster, got his hands on the blaster, going to show his worth Throttle up, deflectors on, Weapons armed, fire the gun Turn and fight, until he’s won No turning back, 4 3 2 1 Hop right in, throw the switch to begin, on my rocket ship It sounds like a kitty, and the flames look so pretty, on my rocket ship It’s Got windows on the side, and a hyper drive, on my rocket ship I’m blasting into space on my rocket ship I’m blasting into space on my rocket ship I’m blasting into space.

about

NOREiKA Akron, New York

I'm a blue collar guy in a white collar world. I'm a heavy metal shredder with an acoustic guitar. The music I write and play is not of the style I typically listen to. I stopped trying to be specific things, and instead started going where the wind would take me. I'm not bound by genre. I'm free to do what I want, and that's what I'm going to do: Make "MY" music. ... more
