All Kinds of People 04:35
lyrics
buy track
All Kinds of People There are all kinds of people, All kinds of people in this world. You meet them every day. You meet in every w - a - ay, yeah. You can't just stay home all alone. You gotta get out there too... And meet all kinds of people, All kinds of people in this world. We have a world of different colors. Like that rainbow in the sky. Hair and eyes and skin, and the clothes we're in, They don't tell you what's inside. We've got the tiny and the tall, And every shape that comes to mind, And no one's perfect, not at all, but There are many ways to shine. There are all kinds of people, All kinds of people in this world. Share some of that goodness. Share some of that light. You can make this world brighter. Instead of staying home, Feeling all alone, You can make this world better. 'Cause there are all kinds of people, All kinds of people in this world. In this great... in this great... In this great... big... world... There are... all kinds of people. music and lyrics by Alek Vila, ©2017 Racing Heart Entertainment

Here Today 03:23
lyrics

Here Today I'm not asking you to trust me. I'm not making any promises. You can hold on to your innocence If you want to, But I'm not looking at that contract Before I even get to know you. You can keep it in your briefcase, And you can keep your suitcase, too. I'm only here today. -- I don't know where I'll be tomorrow. I'm here today. -- That's all I know, and you don't have to follow. I'm here today, -- And I could be gone tomorrow. I'm here today, -- And that's all I ask of you. So come on, if you want to, Come and take a walk beside me. If it starts to feel like work, Then you have better things to do. But have you ever seen the sun shine? Let me tell you that it's alright. Step out at your leisure. Just don't ask me to be true. I'm only here today. -- I don't know where I'll be tomorrow. I'm here today. -- That's all I know, and you don't have to follow. I'm here today, -- And I could be gone tomorrow. I'm here today, -- And that's all I ask of you. music and lyrics by Alek Vila, ©2017 Racing Heart Entertainment

Fight or Flight 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Fight or Flight There are monsters on the street Who were made in our own homes. They were raised to be the men we know, And so many come to cry. Will we ever come to heal? in this world of fight or flight? They are cheered for, celebrated, Paid more, and decorated... for winning. There are monsters on the street Who were made in our own homes. They were raised to be the men we know, And so many come to cry. Will we ever come to heal? in this world of fight or flight? They are beat down, made invisible, Turned away, and unforgiven... for losing. There are victims on the street Who were made in our own homes. They were raised to be the ones we love... And so many come to cry. Will we ever come to heal? in this world of fight or flight? No one can convince you If you don't want to believe, We're painting pictures... of what humans will achieve. Someday we will make all competition obsolete. We are creators, And this we can foresee, while We are monsters on the street Who were made in our own homes. We were raised to be the men we know... And so many come to cry. Will we ever come to heal? in this world of fight or flight? ... fight or flight? ... fight or flight? ... fight or flight? music and lyrics by Alek Vila, ©2017 Racing Heart Entertainment

Feel 04:12
lyrics

Feel Are you hiding from the rain right now, Alone and internal? Are you floating into outer space, And would you take me along? Dreaming Angel, how I miss our warm goodbyes. I can feel you inside. I can feel you inside. Oh, is this my hour? 'Cause I sleep better Ever since I drank from that flower, and Oh, what's the use in asking why? I can feel you inside. I can feel you inside. The solitary self, it makes no sense. For all I know, it's just a lens, Just a lens... Just a lens... Just a lens... I was dancing in the street last night, A holy inferno, Open to the infinite, And when it hit me, I cried out, "Dream-ing angel, as this vessel lives and dies, I can feel you inside. I can feel you inside. I can feel you inside!" music and lyrics by Alek Vila, ©2017 Racing Heart Entertainment

The Camping Song 03:00
lyrics

The Camping Song Gonna go camping with my gir-r-r-r-rl. Spend a few days together In the natural world — Just me and my gir-r-rl. Gonna build a nest under the tre-e-e-e-ees, Make a lot of love together. Life is easy, — For me and my gir-r-rl. Listen to the robins whistling. Listen to the chipmunks scurrying. Watching the green leaves fluttering. I see a butterfly dancing by. Listen to the robins whistling. Listen to the chipmunks scurrying. Watching the green leaves fluttering. I see a butterfly dancing by. Gonna go camping with my gir-r-r-r-rl. music and lyrics by Alek Vila, ©2017 Racing Heart Entertainment

Thank You (Revisited) 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Thank You (Revisited) Into the darkness shines a light one day, Shows me the Earth and the moon, the sun and the rain. But I would not use my eyes until your face appeared. You opened my heart as you held me near. I was feeling so worthless, but now I feel like gold. Love is a suit of armor I wear against the cold. Together we stand, and we forget our fears, Because today we can laugh and live in love. Baby, I want to thank you for saving my life, We have faith in each other, and it feels so right. We have made such a sweet home of sunshine and grace, You know there’s no one on Earth who can take your place. I was ready to turn back, When you brought me a road map. You laid it out, where our plans crossed with destiny. You give me so much leeway, We're on a lovers' freeway, And the road is much smoother than it used to be. Thank you, my Love, You turned my hopeful yearnings into something real, And I want you to know, That you have shaken every bone inside me, And it feels so good to share my life with you. music and lyrics by Alek Vila, ©2017 Racing Heart Entertainment

Belong 04:54
lyrics
buy track
Belong I know someday we're going to walk up a hill, In step, Roll the blanket out while the air is warm. We'll take our clothes off and catch some rays, And lay on our backs, Naming shapes in the sky as the pictures form, Watching kids run by on the rim, As we laugh. And birds dance over us like a storm. All we need is time and the space, To breathe, 'Cause being with you is like being at home. I have come here to belong to you, Bathing in the living sun. Sometimes it looks like we're caught in the fray, And feel bad. All tangled up in the things we try. We'll go slowly through the day, Like this. 'Cause being with you is like being at home. I have come here to belong to you, Bathing in the living sun. I have come here to belong to you, Bathing in the living sun. music and lyrics by Alek Vila, ©2017 Racing Heart Entertainment
