Shivering
Shivering appears to speak of the age old time where two people of the opposite sex, seem to have a moving and romantic effect upon each other. Yet for some reason, each one is hesitant to act. Although because of each one’s failure to act. Both could possibly lose out on the opportunity of a lifetime. It also could be a romantic metaphor to courting a dream where hesitation could also mean that lifetime opportunity or break has now become lost forever.
“KEEP ON DREAMIN’”
JENO singing to everyone in the room,
as though she’s better than them.
YOU WISH YOU COULD BE SINGING,
SINGING LIKE ME.
DO YOU WANT TO BE DANCING?
DANCING LIKE ME?
YOU’D LOVE TO BE MOVING,

I’LL KEEP ON LIVING
WHILE YOU’RE DREAMING YOUR LIFE AWAY.

Keep on Dreaming
Keep on dreaming appears to present itself as Jeno’s very “confidently arrogant” statement to the world, “Everyone wants to be like me”. “I’m the only one really going somewhere and the rest of you are not”. “You are only dreaming your life away”. While destined for success is her reality. The truth is, if one looks deeper, her bravado at times is just a way of protecting her heart. This way she cannot be easily talked out of living her dreams. Also protecting herself from doubt and insecurity, she must galvanize herself against the prophecy of her parent’s upbringing that she’s wasting her time. Then Nikki gives her back a taste of her own fire as well.

“Roll The Dice”
Presents a cynical yet cautious outlook on life and relationships,
with a reality jolt to not depend on the cliché perspective that to
deal fairly or give unbridled trust will always result in a positive
return. Sometimes in life we are surprised to find that the people
that we give the most of ourselves to, often can be the ones to
hurt or betray us the most. Also there is another premise which
lets us know that in life we have to take chances, and with those
chances come risk, i.e. the risk of being hurt or being deceived by
the very person or opportunity we’ve chosen to believe in.
“THEY DON’T MAKE MEN”

BECAUSE THEY DON’T MAKE MEN LIKE THAT ANYMORE!
They Don’t Make Men
As times change so do the manner and the make of people. This is a reflection of a time when men as a group represented strength of character and actions. These were the days where men could be relied upon to always be strong and reliable; the days where men were protectors and nobility was the foundation of his actions. They were the product of a society that demonstrated integrity and lasting values. The man’s presence meant safety and soundness for all those around him. Women were respected and cherished with loyalty and devotion that left a memorable mark on the face of society.

“Shape Up or Ship Out”
There is a blind side to most people, yet for the most part, the people around us tolerate it. But to every situation there is a time factor, whereby if there is an unpleasant aspect to our behavior, the one who is discomforted the most by it will choose to make a decision to change or end some aspect of the relationship to cease from enduring further pain or inconvenience. The irony is that often we know of the problem, yet move so slowly to correct it.
Yet at the same time we can almost see the situation bring us down almost like watching it in slow motion. But at the same time, we seem almost powerless to correct it to save ourselves. Often the ones closest to us must scold us to a course of action by shaming us to the consequences of not heeding to the signs and warnings given to us.

“Do It on Your Own”
When a person can accomplish something without the need or aid of outside resources or another person’s aid, it establishes a certain amount of freedom. On the other hand, when someone is obligated to a person or situation, there is the chance that the person upon whom one becomes dependent assumes a position of controlling influence. Where the ability to move freely or do things in one’s own particular way, only becomes available upon the permission of the one who dominates the situation. In society this happens every day. Someone holds another’s world in the their hand. If they choose to dismiss that person unexpectedly or manipulate their path or direction there isn’t much that the dependent one can do except to strike out for the sake of controlling their own destiny, also incurring the risk that come along with it.

Shock ‘Em
Misbehaving comes in many shapes and forms. People all around you are misbehaving each day, for every person on the road to success. There is someone out here trying to sabotage, upstage, set back or even trying to destroy someone’s path. It might not be in a malicious and overt type of way, but every subtle attack on ones self esteem is a quiet undermining of the vision of their success. It has been said, “Success at times is the best and most enduring revenge”. Shock them and prove them wrong, but if you’re a wolf, you definitely will get bit in the ass.
“THAT’S WHAT YOU GET (THE GAME)”

THE SAME DOOR THAT OPENS
WILL SLAM RIGHT IN YOUR FACE.
.
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU’RE IN THE GAME.
WELCOME TO THE BUSINESS.
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU’RE IN THE GAME.
“That’s What You Get (the Game)” Show business is the ultimate high for the born performer. Unfortunately the business of show business can at times become an illusion. It can be a place where one moment your name is on everyone’s lips. But just as quickly one can become a fading memory the next time around. You can be loved one day and forgotten in the same thought. There are times where you could have come from an arduous journey to arrive, and yet still seem like you’re in the same place you started. It will eat you alive and spit you out in the same breath. It’s message is to get as much out of it as you can and not lose your soul in the process. It is a dubious place where glory and rejection share a similar mask. Always truly know yourself or you could be lost.

EVERYTHING I NEVER THOUGHT I’D LOVE…’TIL NOW
“Everything”
There is a place that we all long for, where for a period of time in our lives, every waking moment was focused on that person or that position. Then there is the period where we obtain it or arrive. Does it live up to our expectations? Was it worth the sacrifice? Did it bring us happiness? Would we travel the road we traveled to get there all over again if we had to? Did it fulfill every fantasy, hope, wish or dream? Sometimes when we look back we marvel at why or how much we wanted this particular thing. Looking back on it with different eyes sometimes later causes us to try to understand why this was so important to us. When we rethink things, was it something we thought we wanted? As we grow, our perception and viewpoints change. In turn, so do our hopes and dreams.

“Sexy”
There are times in life where a special someone comes into our lives that just somehow seems to have the qualities that touch the deepest part of ourselves. Slowly bit by bit we become accustomed to those little things they do that move us and touch us so strongly. We look forward to the way theysmell, the sound of their voice the aura of their presence. Then at some point we reach a stage of being intoxicated. Where the very essence of missing them, rips our soul with pain and discomfort. When they’re not around it’s as if the very air we breath were cut off. Is it pure raw animal magnetism that is mostly physical, or is it a deeper kinetic type of bond of heart and spirit. Or could it be a strange mix of both?
“ST. ANTHONY”
SPIRIT (SINGING) AND JENO
(SPEAKING)
I LOST MY HEART, AND I LOST MY SOUL.
I LOST MY MIND, IT WENT OUT OF CONTROL.
I LOST MY HEALTH AND I LOST MY FRIENDS.
I LOST MY DREAMS, NOW WHERE DOES THIS END?
SO I HAD NOTHING LEFT.
I KNELT DOWN AND HELD BEADS TO MY CHEST,
AND I CRIED TO ST. ANTHONY,
COME AND HELP ME PLEASE.
ST. ANTHONY, ST. ANTHONY,
PLEASE COME AROUND THERE’S SOMETHING LOST
AND IT CAN’T BE FOUND.
I GOT BACK MY HEART, I GOT BACK MY SOUL.
I GOT BACK MY MIND, EVEN OUT OF CONTROL.
I GOT BACK MY HEALTH, BACK MY FRIENDS,
GOT BACK MY DREAMS, I HOPE IT DON’T END.
SO I LEARNED MY LESSON WELL,
TO CHERISH LIFE TO THE BEST THAT I CAN,
AND WHEN I’M SAD I CALL ST. ANTHONY…
COME HELP ME PLEASE.
ST. ANTHONY, ST. ANTHONY,
PLEASE COME AROUND THERE’S SOMETHING LOST
AND IT CAN’T BE FOUND.
SO NOW I CHERISH MY HEART AND I CHERISH MY SOUL,
I CHERISH MY MIND EVEN OUT OF CONTROL.
I CHERISH MY HEALTH, I CHERISH MY FRIENDS,
I CHERISH MY DREAMS, PLEASE SAY IT WON’T END.
“St. Anthony”
“St Anthony” is a cry for help when one reaches the crossroads of life where they don’t seem to have the answers. When one is in fear of losing the things that are the most precious to them. There is a time when the passions in which we truly believe are tested. As always, each test is a lesson to be learned from the beloved higher power. Also there is an ever present truth that when we feel we are the farthest and have lost everything, then we are the closest and have truly gained the most.
“I WISH”

There are times when two people meet and share something unique for a brief period of time. Yet as wonderful and eternal as it seems to be, it is only for a moment, and one that unfortunately is not meant to be forever. In most situations there is often one heart that burns brighter than the other. As time would have it, in a season to come, one love wants to move on to share another encounter with someone new or at times someone old. But in every goodbye there is the part of each person that although they’ve shared the time, the season has come to call back its due. It is a painful, yet sometimes necessary goodbye.

Do It on Your Own (Reprise)
Success is a journey with many paths and no two are ever going to be exactly alike. There are those who are forced to travel it alone because of what they don’t have. Others were blessed withthe good fortune to have received some type of advantage. An interesting thing about success is that there are some parts of it which require significant help from others. Then there other times when no one can help a person. The success or failure rests solely on the effort and timing of the individual. But if you accomplish that which you seek or desire in the end, you’ll definitely call the shots and no-one will own you.

By Accident
People sometimes live by the belief that fortunate things in successful people’s lives just happen, because they were just “meant to be” for that person. This creates a false sense of inspiration for achievement. It gives those who are looking for “an excuse to fail” a way out. Where the real truth is that if you closely trace the path of most who are successful we’ll discover the truth that often what we put into something de-termines what we’ll usually get out of it.

CAUSE I WANT AND I NEED,
CAUSE I WANT AND I NEED
YOUR LOVE.
Nobody’s Fault
A comforting thought that lets us know that when things happen beyond our control, there comes a point where blame and being right or being wrong all have the same result. In life, if every part that we encountered was predictable, we’d somehow find a way to manipulate it, thereby achieving results that, in time, would affect us all. At times, a variety of things do not go according to script. But for the record, “blamers never lead and leaders never blame”.
“HIGH CLASS CROOK”
SPIRIT AND JENO
YOU WALK AROUND IN YOUR FANCY CLOTHES,
USING IT UP YOUR NOSE.
YOU DRIVE AROUND IN YOUR FANCY CAR;
YOU, SCHEMED TO GET THAT FAR.
YOU’RE JUST A HIGH CLASS CROOK,
AND YOU’RE ALL THE SAME TO ME.
YOU THINK YOU COULD GET AWAY
WITH THE LIVES YOU BETRAYED?
YOU THINK YOU COULDN’T BE BEAT
STEALING SHOES OFF THEIR FEET?
YOU’RE JUST A HIGH CLASS CROOK
AND YOU’RE ALL THE SAME TO ME.
WELL, I’M HERE TO WARN YA
THAT I’LL SCORN YA FROM A MILE AWAY,
AND I’LL BEAT YA THEN DEFEAT YA
WITH EVERY GAME THAT YOU PLAY.
YOU’RE JUST A HIGH CLASS CROOK
AND YOU’RE ALL THE SAME TO ME.
WELL, WIPE THAT GRIN OFF YOUR FACE,
BECAUSE YOU ARE A DISGRACE.
YOU’VE GOT HANDS OF SIN
AND I DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN.
YOU’RE JUST A HIGH CLASS CROOK
AND YOU’RE ALL THE SAME TO ME.
WELL, I’M HERE TO WARN YA
THAT I’LL SCORN YA FROM A MILE AWAY,
AND I’LL BEAT YA AND DEFEAT YA
WITH EVERY GAME THAT YOU PLAY.
YOU’RE JUST A HIGH CLASS CROOK AND ALL THE SAME TO ME.
High Class Crook
This presents a somewhat cynical look into the thought that most who have acquired or achieved, have done so at the cost or thievery of someone or some-thing. Many view their peers of modern day life as having “gotten over” on someone to get or keep that place in life where they have “arrived”. This is a pulling the mask off those who play the game of the masquerade. Their gain is “success” , but possibly at the expense of their souls.
“YOU TOLD ME”
JENO
YOU TOLD ME I’D NEVER MAKE IT.
YOU TOLD ME I’D NEVER SUCCEED.
I THINK YOU BETTER CHECK YOUR RECORDS, MA’AM.
NO ONE MAKES ME DOUBT MY DREAMS.
DON’T TELL ME I CAN’T DO IT ALL.
FROM HERE THE JOKE’S ON YOU.
I THINK YOU BETTER CHECK YOUR RECORDS, MA’AM.
NO ONE MAKES ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL.
I KNOW I WAS CRAZY, I KNOW I WAS WILD.
I KNOW I ACTED LIKE A NUTTY CHILD.
BUT THAT WAS THEN AND THIS IS NOW.
THE TABLES ARE TURNED,
NOW YOU’RE IN FOR IT SOMEHOW.
THEY MUST HAVE TOLD YOU YOU’D NEVER MAKE IT, TOO.
IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN ONE DAY.
WELL, I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY TOLD YOU,
YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY.
I’LL BE DAMNED TO LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN.
I’LL BE DAMNED TO LIVE IN FEAR.
KEEP BRINGING FUEL FOR MY FIRE,
YOU ALL, BECAUSE OF YOU IS WHY I’M HERE.
I KNOW I WAS CRAZY, I KNOW I WAS WILD.
I KNOW I ACTED LIKE A NUTTY CHILD.
BUT THAT WAS THEN AND THIS IS NOW.
THE TABLES ARE TURNED,
NOW YOU’RE IN FOR IT SOMEHOW.
(INSTRUMENTAL)
YOU BETTER TELL THEM THEY CAN DO IT ALL.
DON’T STOP DREAMS BECAUSE OF FEAR.
KEEP BRINGING FUEL FOR MY FIRE, YOU ALL.
BECAUSE OF YOU IS WHY I’M HERE.
You Told Me
This song reflects a place that most true artists of their craft have had to face: the moment where someone told you that your success at a particular endeavor was a waste of time. People use your past against you to convince you that you were not chosen for success. But this is quite the contrary with other artists. It appears with some, the more you doubt them, the harder they work. These are the select few for whom the word and concept of “failure” doesn’t exist. One must pursue greatness for fulfillment and satisfaction, never to shame one’s critics. Greatness achieves immortality. Critics usually just ultimately die off.
“DAMNED IF YOU DO”
ANNA
YOU’RE DAMNED IF YOU DO,
YOU’RE DAMNED IF YOU DON’T.
YOU’RE DAMNED IF YOU DO,
CAUSE IT AIN’T GONNA FLOAT.
YOU’RE DAMNED IF YOU DO,
YOU’RE DAMNED IF YOU DON’T.
YOU’RE DAMNED IF YOU DO,
SO GET OUT OF THE BOAT.
OPEN YOUR EYES,
‘CAUSE IT AIN’T NO SURPRISE.
HELL, YOU’RE DAMNED EACH WAY,
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?
YOU’RE DAMNED IF YOU DO,
YOU’RE DAMNED IF YOU DON’T.
YOU’RE DAMNED IF YOU DO,
DON’T SIT AROUND AND MOPE.
SITTING AROUND WITH YOUR ASS ON THE LINE,
DON’T YOU SEE, KID, YOU AIN’T GONNA SHINE.
OPEN YOUR EYES,
‘CAUSE IT AIN’T NO SURPRISE.
HELL YOU’RE DAMNED EACH WAY,
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?
THINGS AIN’T WHAT THEY USED TO BE IN IRELAND.
IT AIN’T LIKE WE WERE TAUGHT THEN.
YOU WORK WITH YOUR HANDS
AND PUT BREAD IN YOUR MOUTH
AND THANK GOD THAT THE RIVER WASN’T IN DROUGHT.
THINGS AIN’T WHAT THEY USED TO BE IN IRELAND.
SCHOOL WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
YOU DANCIN’ ON STAGE,
YOU START GETTING A NAME,
GOING DOWN THE HILL WITH ALL THAT FAME.
WELL, THINGS AIN’T WHAT THEY USED TO BE IN IRELAND.
(INSTRUMENTAL)
YOU’RE DAMNED IF YOU DO,
YOU’RE DAMNED IF YOU DON’T
NOTHIN’ LEFT TO SAY, KID,
GO YOUR OWN WAY.
Damned if You Don’t
A wise man once said, he didn’t have the key to guarantee success. But he definitely knew the key to failure, it was trying to please everyone. Truth is, that in order to truly be free to live one’s life the way one sees fit, there will be some point where you’re ultimately not going to please someone. Practically all successful people share one particular quality. They are each strong enough to only dance to the tune of their own hopes and dreams.

“BETTER LATE THAN NEVER”
SPIRIT AND JENO
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER,
NOW I CAN HOLD MY HEAD HIGH.
I KNEW I’D HAVE TO TAKE THE HARD ROAD,
BUT I WAS WILLING TO TRY.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, IF I’M TIRED SOME.
GOD’S WITH ME WHEREVER I GO,
NOW HE’S PROUD OF WHAT I’VE DONE.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, BETTER LATE THAN WRONG.
AT LEAST NOW I’VE LEARNED.
BE GOOD TO PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT ROAD
AND YOU’LL NEVER GET BURNED.
HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY,
TO LET GO OF THE PAST.
HAD TO SEARCH FOR SOMETHING,
SOMETHING THAT WOULD LAST.
I JUST WANTED THE BEST FOR YOU.
I WANTED YOU YO HAVE IT ALL
EVEN WHEN I SEE YOU FALLING
GET BACK UP AND STAND TALLER.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, BETTER LATE THAN WRONG.
PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGY FOR ALL I’VE DONE WRONG.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER,
NOW I CAN HOLD MY HEAD HIGH.
I KNEW I’D HAVE TO TAKE THE HARD ROAD,
BUT I WAS WILLING TO TRY.
HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY,
TO LET GO OF THE PAST.
HAD TO SEARCH FOR SOMETHING,
SOMETHING THAT WOULD LAST.
Better Late Than Never”
Is there a time for success? Can success be too early, or can success be too late? Is anything worth having worth having late, or never at all ? Are life, love, forgiveness and success ever really on time? No matter the journey, the price, or the time, it is always right and special when it arrives. As long as it occurs while one still has breath to receive it.

WE’RE GOING STRAIGHT TO THE TOP!
“Straight To the Top”
A determined mind and a steadfast heart always wins. Through the obstacles and pitfalls that come from the highs of the mountaintop, to the echoes and the tears of ones own voice. In the lowest part of the valleys of life, dreams will always have their critics, doubters and setbacks, but those who close their ears and prime their hearts will one day arrive at the end of their journey. They will hold the prize of success in their hand, having learned obstacles were not meant to destroy us through failure, but to prove us worthy as the precious jewels and shining stars,we were always destined to be.
