Song Lyrics

Halley + Jupiter
Open Road
There’s a road that I wanna walk
its gravel and dust
The sun is there its showing its age
turning to rust
There’s a lusty haze filling my lungs
I took a taste
and it’s still on my tongue
I love this lovely life
Even when nothing seems right
I’ll be the peace in the fight
I will love this lovely life
There are stars in the sky
I’m dying to know
I wanna hear each voice
What do they think what do they sing
I wish I had their poise
There’s a song in the breeze
and a rhythm in the sea
I wish the whole world
the whole world
was singing with me
The open road and the open sky
I got a heavy load on an open mind
i close my eyes let the wind blow
Take my life by the soul tell me
where I should go


Halley + Jupiter
Nomad
I was born here in this quiet town
And I’m facin my fear,
it’s here they’ll lay me down
I don’t know why, I look to the skies
Can’t put down roots ‘spite all my tries
I think there’s a nomad
Deep inside my bones
Tethered to no land
Cause this highway feels like home
And I’ve gone crazy
Looking for one place
To make me feel safe and not alone
So I’m gonna roam
Do you wanna go
Turns out I’m lost and wandering
Towards the sea
do you wanna be lost with me
I like the birds flyin free
Not stuck on the ground like any ol tree

Halley + Jupiter
On the Road Again
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
And we're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way is...



Halley + Jupiter
Playin Cards
Do you remember those feelings you hindered
When you hesitated to reveal
Just how amazing you feel
When you’re with me
Eventually we opened up
We were honest with each other
Put the cards on the table a
And we went all in, together
Your hand in my hand
Is the simplest plan
And I’ll let go of everything, but you
Oh but that was so long ago
And the life you once gave me you’re keeping
The team that we built up is breaking
And you say things that you don’t mean
You got caught in a moment
Cause your heart has been wounded
And you’re fighting to hold on
To cards you should fold on
Your hand in my hand
Is the simplest plan
And I’ll let go of everything, but you

Intermission

Round the Globe
Can we get a sailboat,
chasing down the sunset as we float,
round and round the globe
Salty air and balmy nights,
Guided only by the lights above
And a lot of little love
All the world is out there waiting to explore
And all our troubles here wantin to be ignored
Oh oh oh let's go
To India and Ireland round Africa and back again
We don't really need to know, just where we'll go
Maybe Canada then to Brazil
Then through the alpine foothills
All I really wanna know is can we go
Baby can we go
Round and round the globe
Set the sails to the wind
I'm not even asking if or when
we're comin back again
Cut the anchor, cast away
No sense waitin for another day
No time left to stay
Cause all the waters out there
need some company
And who could ride them better now
than you and me
oh oh we're home free
All the places we could see
Doesn't matter where we'll be
As long as there is you and me
Australia & Germany, Japan
and then the Philippians
Puerto Rico & Tobago
Jamaica & to Providence
then up to Maine it just makes sense
San Diego and Hilo
Baby can we go, round and round the globe

In the Waiting
I have been waiting all of this time
And I have been praying all along
For some peace of mind
I thought what I wanted
Was something right
Turns out what I thought was day
Was really the night
And all I have needed
Has been in the waiting
I found a heart beating
Alive and it’s saying
I can’t seem to find the end
Of the path I am taking
Cause it keeps windin on and on and on
In the waiting
Don’t miss it mother, don’t miss it dear
Don’t miss it child for like a breath
We’re not long here
In all of my waiting for us to arrive
Life has been quietly passing me by



Ericka Corban
Lost Amen
Even though I’ve never seen
water turning into wine,
Doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen
once upon a time,
While I’m down here on this earth,
Walking on this dirt, I still pray
Sometimes when life is coming at ya
a hundred miles an hour
It’s easy to forget to lean
into your higher power
When everything’s a blur
and faith is just a word, I still pray
Couldn’t find it in the whiskey
Couldn’t see it through the smoke
But I know it’s out there somewhere
Buried in blind hope
I throw my prayers to the wind,
Till they come back again,
Searching for my lost amen
I keep trying to find the reasons why
for all my twists and turns
I keep trying to ride the rapids
under bridges that I’ve burned
Through all the broken hearts,
Slamming doors and battle scars,
I still pray
Amen to the hard roads wherever they may lead
Amen to the mem’ries still in front of me
Amen wherever it might be

Steady my Soul
Steady my soul as I try to crawlin
out of this hole where I keep fallin
Wrong place at the wrong time
With the strong man stealing my life
And this all got out of control
Some say that it's ok
close their eyes and walk away
But I can't pretend I don't know
so steady my soul
Like a moth to the flame
I am drawn to the place
Where my innocence cannot be sold
But I come up holding shame
from all my worst mistakes
And the incidents I cannot let go
So steady my soul
Steady my soul
I'm lookin for freedom
It's taken a toll
These lies I believed in
They sound right in the moment
But the next night I'm broken
Fantasies never console
In my mind I'm hopin
I'll get back what was stolen
Then my barren heart can be whole
So steady my soul
Like a moth to the flame
I am drawn to the place
Where my innocence
cannot be sold
I come up throwing blame
With a cold bitter rage
At the incidents that left me low
So steady my soul
I know who I've been isn't me
And who I was then is not who I have to be
Like a moth to the flame
I am drawn to the place
Where my innocence
cannot be sold
I put on a new name
And am covered in grace
From the incidents I don't have to hold
You steady my soul

Soul of the Heartland
You’ve got sixth generation wild west blood
Running through your veins
mixed in with the mud
and there’s a wind swept pride won’t be denied
You can feel it in your bones
Wheat fields and cattle far as the eye can see
and all the dreams you’ve worked for no
they don’t come easily
but you’re right where you belong
what makes you strong
that heaven you call home
In the soul of the heartland
You know this is good land
Never far away from a helping calloused hand
and if we can’t we know Jesus can
Oh save the soul of the heartland
Some kids head to California
and leave their boots behind
but some get up every morning
keep this way of life from dying
There is faith and hope
down every dusty road
one rainfall at a time
When you look across the sky
and see what you’ve been given
that sacred ground beneath your feet
and you’re thankful that you’re living

Ericka Corban
Countryside
The blacktop can be mean
The horns honking and the tires scream
Always in someone's way
A bunch of people who need a break
That pace is rough but ya gotta keep up
If you really wanna be someone
The lights of the city are neat
But my heart belongs in the country
Where it's just you and me
And this perfect little family
With the tall green grass
The lakes of glass
and your best friends watchin your back
The kids can all run free
And not worry about a thing
That's where I wanna live my life
Yea, In the country side
City folk don't get me
I like to ride in my faded jeans
Surrounded by a sea of green
Runnin wild and free
Don't get me wrong
I know a bunch of people who are city strong
And this just ain't their song,
the country's where I belong
I can don my heels
And I can get dressed up
But at the end of the day I ain't afraid
of working hard in the muck
When it's just you and me
And this perfect little family
With the tall green grass
The lakes of glass
When the kids leave home
they'll wanna come back
and raise a family
Just how it's meant to be
That's where I wanna live my life
Yea, in the countryside

Nicer ;)
Maybe if you could spend a little time
being nicer, you'd be ok
I bet if you would spend a little time
being nicer, you'd have a better day
We all have our days
And our qwerty little ways
I know you, you’ve got things to do
Don't forget to laugh
Get the monkey off your back
Share a smile, it'll last for a while
Maybe if you could spend a little time
being nicer, you'd be ok
I bet if you would spend a little time
being nicer, you'd have a better day
This world's dark enough
It could use a little love
So spread the light and brighten it up
I know you can make
Someone else's day
So why don't you choose the better way

Well Lived Life (Grandma's Song)
For as long as I can remember
You wore the prettiest thing
A glowing smile was your favorite style
And you showed us how to care
for the simple things
And how to love unconditionally
Lord knows I’m gonna miss all of this
But I know there are reasons
There’s times and there are seasons
And you are where you oughta be
Where there’s no more suffering
But when I meet my Maker
I just might ask Him why
You couldn’t stay another day
So I could say goodbye
For as long as I can remember
You were there to cheer me on
Every game I ever played
Every song I’ve ever sung
And even when I’d mess it up
And make all my mistakes
You were grinning ear to ear
You loved me just the same
Lord knows I’m gonna miss all of this
Well I think that I might know
Why the good Lord called you home
Cause I’d have grabbed your hand
And begged you not to go
But I know there are reasons
There’s times and there are seasons
And I don’t wanna selfishly
Keep you here with me
Because heaven needs an angel
And it’s your turn to shine
Now we’re the ones cheering from the side
And it was sure a beautiful ride
And one well lived life

Beautiful Dreamer
Does it not seem crazy that nothing's for real
You can't touch anything that you can feel
You spend your time building what you never see
And wonder why people find it hard to believe
Beautiful dreamer I know who you are
You were a believer back at the start
The world that you once thought
Might welcome you in
Has left you out cold
not cared where you've been
Oh dreamer, dream again
You had a fire inside of your soul
that made us all wonder where it would go
You lay it all out there
Your heart on your sleeve
But they have been telling you lies
That you shouldn't believe
Beautiful dreamer I know who you are
You were a believer back at the start
And your heart of gold still has treasures untold
but it's buried in all of your doubt
Beautiful dreamer don't give up now
Every note that you've had to sing
You're tellin yourself this wasn't your dream
A constant reminder of all that's been wrong
You start to feel like this isn't your song
But if you step back for a minute
someday you'll see
It's more than a song...
it's a symphony

Halley + Jupiter
Soundtrack
Make a mountain move with the faith in you
Make the waters rise, well up in your eyes
But it don't mean a thing unless it's love you sing
Love is the soundtrack I'm gonna sing
Happy or sad or when I don't feel a thing
Cause when we're lovable, oh it is powerful
You know what I mean
I don't know you and you don't know me
But in this moment we're still like family
Cause it's a crazy world
These days are all a blur
But this love that we sing can be a beautiful thing
We're just a bunch of kids learning how it is
Not sure where to go so we go with the flow
Makin melody, learning how to sing
