Remember Me

In the busyness of shopping malls
In the stress that comes with making meals
In this season that is filled with frills
A baby cries off in the distance
Remember me
Pure love and peace
Remember me
Your joy complete
My gift is free
Lasting eternity
Remember me
Remember me
If acquiring things is robbing you of peace
Then priorities are black friday indeed
There's people starving and truly in need
Try balancing with charity
Remember me
Pure love and peace
Remember me
Your joy complete
A gift for free
Lasting eternity
Remember me
Remember me
Remember December
Stay present with the presents
Remember December
Stay loving with the living
Remember December
Hold the baby near
Remember December
Slow it down to hear...
Remember me
Pure love and peace
Remember me
Your joy complete
My gift is free
Lasting for eternity
Remember me
Remember me

Humble Pie for the Holidays


ComScore


Happy Thanksgiving! Listen and enjoy some Humble Pie this holiday season. Any flavor you like, but you GIVE a slice or DO something nice FOR someone else before you serve yourself.

Humble Pie
By singer/songwriter Shawna Ray, Open 2010, Rhythm Ray Records, ASCAP
Produced by Ahmande “Mondo” Grimes and Aaron Rice, Nashville, TN

Lyrics...
At life’s restaurant I thought I’d get whatever I wanted
Ordered up a nice cool one And said keep‘em coming, coming…
Until my bill came due The day that I met you
I was way too full of myself Didn’t leave room for…
Humble pie, it’s an acquired taste
One that I have come to appreciate
For the growth it produces as change takes place
I learned to be grateful the more that I ate
Humble pie at life’s little restaurant
(ladedade ladedadedadedum ladedade ladedadedadedum)

Browse the menu for awhile
Everything comes with a price
Spending time with those I love
Always fill me up
Spice of life is beautiful
Every color every culture
Gives us friendship for dessert
It’s a revolving display of...

Humble pie, it’s an acquired taste…
Repeat Chorus

You get what you need, not always what you want
You give and receive at life’s restaurant
Everybody gets some - All you can eat of
Everybody gets some, all you can eat of…

Humble pie, it’s an acquired taste
One that I have come to appreciate
For the growth it produces as change takes place
I learned to be grateful the more that I ate
Humble pie at life’s little restaurant
(ladedade ladedadedadedum ladedade ladedadedadedum)

Altitude

The cloud rises, pushing a mass
In front of this cumulus bliss
Deflecting, shades overlap
Pastelic colors move and connect
What do you see up there
As water droplets fall?
Cruzing at the altitude of hope
Cruzing at the altitude of love
Cruzing at the altitude of peace
From the mass in the middle
Heal through to the whole
Time change
Upward, the tall of it all
Highest result will decline and fall
Be careful in your descent
From elevation, ego is bent
What do you see up there?
Celestial celebration
Cruzing at the altitude of hope
Cruzing at the altitude of love
Cruzing at the altitude of peace
From the mass in the middle
Heal through to the whole
Time change
Saturation, destination, realization
No control
Fascination, imagination, illumination
Now let go...

Cruzing at the altitude of hope
Cruzing at the altitude of love
Cruzing at the altitude of peace
From the mass...
In the middle
Healing through...
To the altitude
The altitude
The altitude of change

To Be Continued...

This day may not all go as planned
Just get back up if you're knocked down
Surprises come but you can deal
The hand your dealt is not your seal
'Cuz every choice you have to make
Will steer your course and guide your fate
Your attitude determines who
Will be defeated. Don't let it defeat you!
Say this is my life and I'm the hero
In my story in my quest
To be my best and make a difference
Give more back than I take in
Lessons learned are never failures
Turn the page and start a new
There is more in each new chapter
Growing through - To be continued...
Ooooh To be continued...
So onward bound what have we here?
Another challenge ends the year
And with it brings reality
That happiness is what you make it
Look around at every gift
More valuable than any thing
Focus thoughts in gratefulness
And with renew let's hear you sing...
This is my life and I am the hero
In my story in my quest
To be my best and make a difference
Give more back than I take in
Lessons learned are never failures
Turn the page and start a new
There is more in each new chapter
Growing through - To be continued...
Ooooh To be continued...
Ooooh oooooooh ooooh
Ooooh oooooooh ooooh
Lessons learned are never failures
Turn the page and start a new
There is more in this new chapter
Growing through to be continued...
To be continued...
This is my life! I am the hero
In my story in my quest
To be my best and make a difference
Give more back than I take in
Lessons learned are never failures
Turn the page and start a new
There is more in this new chapter
Growing through to be continued...oooh
To be continued...oooh
To be continued...oooh
To be continued...
