THESE WALLS
Lyrics & Music © Linda Sussman
These walls may talk
These walls may cry
Like paint peelin' up
From the underside
Stories hidden
Within the cracks
What'll they tell us
When we look back?
There was dancin'
In the kitchen
There was singin'
From down the hall
But kids being kids
Wouldn't sit for an hour
Flights of fancy
Takin' them to the stars!
Water won't wash away my tears (4X)
A spider's web
Designed for strength
Each woven strand
Spun of silk and lace
One ladder torn
But all the rest stayed taut
And showed the world
How hard she fought
Water won't wash away my tears (4X)
These walls may talk
These walls may cry
Like paint peelin' up
From the underside
Stories hidden
Within the cracks
What'll they tell us
When we look back?

EYE OF THE STORM
Lyrics & Music © Linda Sussman
Smoke risin'
In the city
Heat rollin'
All around
Pressure buildin'
Little ones cryin"
How we gonna get our feet back on the ground?
Folks run down
And outta money
Shops closed up
One by one
Holdin' loved ones
Inside their walls
People prayin' all across the land
Time's movin'
Movin' so slowly
World's racin'
For a cure
Hearts pourin'
Into each other
There's a frontline in the eye of the storm

CATCH ME IF I FALL
Lyrics & Music © Linda Sussman
Throw away all my fears
Catch me if I fall
I've been hiding
Far too long
Flirting 'round the edges
Of my mind
I've walked a long, long road
Rocky paths have been my guide.
Color my dreams alive
Shades of red and gold
Paint a new picture
Play a leading role
Wake up my senses
Like a breath of fresh air
If I lose my way
Promise you'll be there.
CH: Follow my dreams
Stretched across the sky
Each day a new star
Holds me in dark and in light.
Circles are bound to break
When you lean against the lines
No matter the years it takes
To finally arrive
Time waits for no one
Dreams can grow cold
So lay down the pieces
Lay bare your soul.
CH: Follow your dreams
Stretched across the sky
Each day a new star
Holds us in dark and in light.

TOMORROW BLUES
Lyrics & Music © Linda Sussman
I got blues all over my heart
Blues all over you
These blues ain’t goin’ nowhere
Not much I can do
I got them tomorrow blues
Hangin’ around from yesterday
These blues have come and found me
Bringin’ trouble where I lay
I got blues all over my house
Runnin’ up and down my street
Blues knockin’ at my front door
Just can’t get no sleep
I got them tomorrow blues
Hangin’ around from yesterday
These blues have come and found me
Bringin’ trouble where I lay
Blues walkin’ in my sneakers
Blues walkin’ in my boots
Blues walkin’ all over me baby
I’m worn out waitin’ for you
I got them tomorrow blues
Hangin’ around from yesterday
These blues have come and found me
Bringin’ trouble where I lay

JOIN HANDS
Lyrics & Music © Linda Sussman
Running rampant through our nation
Forging clear across this land
Is hatred born of ignorance
Stoked by leaders standing grand
Fear rises out of bigotry
That’s been invited to the stage
And money writes the history
Centuries of shame
[CHORUS]
Join hands
With your sisters and your brothers
Join hands
Make a statement for those who can’t
Take a knee
To stand up and be free
Join hands
All across this land
Call attention to those silenced
Well before their time
At the hands of those in power
Feeding us some line
One lie after another lie
Keeps the status quo alive
They’ve had us all in corners
To conquer __ and divide
[CHORUS]
Shine a light on respect
Speak up for equality
It’s time for understanding
Years and years of misery
The color that you walk in
Should not put you in jeopardy
We’re cryin’ out for justice
And full-on __ liberty
[CHORUS]

SHADOWS BY MY SIDE
Lyrics & Music © Linda Sussman
When the weight of my world
Shifts on its side
It leads me to wonder
The angle of right
I never know what’s in store
Never know what’s comin’ next
All I know is what I’ve seen
Between my life and the edge
I'll cross whatever bridge comes
I'll face that mighty wind
And I’ll never, ever know
How many tomorrows will come to call me in
BRIDGE: How a thin line / Casts shadows / By my side [REPEAT]
I will fight against the darkness
When my days feel like night
And I'll wake to find the morning
A new day by my side
So when my feet get much too weary
All I see is one steep climb
I'll remember there are places
Where I can lean to the other side
[BRIDGE]
