1.	Define American 03:48	lyrics	buy track
In the morning they wake up like you and I do Brush their teeth and go to work like you and I do Call their mom to say hello like you and I do Rest their head when they are home like you and I do Who are you to say they haven't earned their right to stay They are more brave and just and true than any one of you Charging forward on the front line, how do you Define American When they were born they cried out like you and I did Learned to walk and learned to talk like you and I did But when they tried to learn to drive like you and I did They were told to run and hide or say goodbye Who are you to say they haven't earned their right to stay They are more brave and just and true than any one of you Charging forward on the front line, how do you Define American
2.	Stronger 03:13	lyrics	buy track
Don’t wanna dive in without dipping my toes Don’t wanna light the fireplace without checking where the smoke will go You and I both know what it's like To build a wall so high that it shuts out the light We can blow it down It is just a pile of sand held together by a shaky hand We’ll blow it down With the air in our lungs, we are stronger than we’ve ever been before Don’t wanna set the frame before the painting's dry Don’t wanna pull the parachute until I’ve truly learned to fly You and I both know how it feels Hours turn to days and the days into years We can blow it down It is just a pile of sand held together by a shaky hand We’ll blow it down With the air in our lungs, we are stronger than we’ve ever been before
3.	Love Will Find You 03:13	lyrics	buy track
On the coast 17 hours north of Mexico Seabirds flying high and the tide was low I saw my footprints one by one not knowing where they’ll go And I let myself truly be alone It was morning, the air was clear and the dune grass swept in the breeze No commitments, no calls, nowhere I had to be Took my time and walked on where my footsteps seemed to lead And I let myself truly be free And said love will find you, when you’re ready to fall When you’re ready to give it your all, and you will give it your all On my way back, I picked a marion berry, the darkest one on the cane And I wandered through the cypress trees and down an old dirt lane Savoring the sweetness til the moment went away And I let myself truly feel the rain There is nothing else to do but grow You will feel it when you trust yourself Love will find you, when you’re ready to fall When you’re ready to give it your all, and you will give it your all
4.	De Colores 02:12	lyrics	buy track
De colores de colores se visten los campos en la primavera De colores de colores son los pajarillos que vienen de fuera De colores de colores es el arcoiris que vemos lucir Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mí Canta el gallo canta el gallo con el quiri quiri quiri quiri quiri La gallina la gallina con el cara cara cara cara cara Los pollitos los pollitos con el pío pío pío pío pi Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mí
5.	Marcia Montgomery 03:14	lyrics	buy track
Marcia Montgomery What do you think of the choices I’ve made this year Marcia Montgomery You always knew how to say it straight, how to keep it clear I’m trying to use my mind and my hands the way you always could Clever fixes and practical decisions, honest and good Are you still proud of me, are you still proud of me Am I getting it right, am I living my life how I outta be Oh Marcia Montgomery There was a time when I thought you’d meet the children I’ll bear But Marcia Montgomery Now they will learn your ways through stories and jewelry I’ll wear I’m trying to learn from all my mistakes the way I know I should Growing and giving, learning and living, solid as wood Are you still proud of me, are you still proud of me Am I getting it right am I living my life how I outta be Oh Marcia Montgomery You always knew how to say it straight, how to keep it clear
6.	San Gregorio 03:12	lyrics	buy track
When your bones are tired, when you're uninspired When your car wont start, when your plan’s expired There's a place nearby, just round the bend You can take your time, and we'll be there waiting when you get there Lets go to San Gregorio We'll take La Honda and some back roads we know Lets go to San Gregorio Nothing’s stopping you, nothing’s stopping us now, oooooh When you're scared of where this turn could lead When a change is near and it's pickin up speed There's a place nearby just round the bend You can take your time and we'll be there waiting when you get there Lets go to San Gregorio We'll take La Honda and some back roads we know Lets go to San Gregorio Nothing’s stopping you, nothing’s stopping us now
7.	We Will Be Fine 03:49	lyrics	buy track
There will be days when the sun Rises and vanishes out on the run And when you share a little light The sun will shine through on you Maybe there's not enough to go around Maybe some need to be up while others are down But its a big world and we choose To keep shining through, me and you We will be fine And if you need to be alone If you need time away from home I’ll do my best to keep burning bright Shining on through to you We will be fine
