Are You Out There? © 2017 Cindy Prince (spoken) "If you ever look at the sky, Doubting the existence of other worlds, Just know that somewhere a creature Looks up at the sky, doubting you exist" 1. A note appeared From where I know not I had to smile And have deep thoughts The message was Worth a ponder Because it made me Stop and wonder Chorus Are you out there? Can you see me? The earth from your galaxy? Are you out there....are you out there? Is it possible to show us the way to peace? 2. We know a lot Yet nothing I feel Does time even exist? Are we all real? Is this a matrix Does everything connect? This note got me To stop and reflect Chorus Are you out there? Can you see me? The earth from your galaxy? Are you out there....are you out there? Is it possible to show us the way to peace? (spoken) "If you ever look at the sky, Doubting the existence of other worlds, Just know that somewhere a creature Looks up at the sky, doubting you exist"

Everything Good © 2018 Cindy Prince Long shadows stretch across the yard of early afternoon A little girl wishes she could fly right up to the moon She runs with arms out, having do doubt it can happen She dreams of flight, and just might, conjure up a dragon Chorus May she never stop believing in everything good Magic and possibilities, paths through the woods Right now she sees the world as any child should May she never stop believing in everything good Bridge The innocence in her eyes I always want to see The joy she finds every day Before the bigger world clouds her pretty eyes And takes all the wonder away The sun is now setting, with orange and pretty pink She calls it her sunset, and she can feel the interlink She is one with her world, and her spirit flows so free It is great to view life through the eyes of a girl of three Repeat chorus

Questions, Questions © 2020 Cindy Prince What if cats had tail feathers And peacocks had fur What if jelly was the color of mustard And only hippos were known to purr What if all ice cream were black And our hair was made of leaves What if all our names were Joe And we our legs went in our sleeves Chorus Questions, questions Do they have to make sense?
