Maren Elise

Heartwrenched

Bombs go off every day
In lands far away
Corruption in the highest powers
Conspiracies and the two towers

Babies cry out hungry
On the streets, starving
Little girls are taken from their homes
Used, beaten, bruised, battered and sold

Chorus:
When it happens in a far off place
We go on with our day
When the pain is too hard to take
We just look away
When it’s something we don’t want to face
We just look away

Fathers lose their young sons
Terror tests our freedom
Children crying out for helpwith guns
Starved from the start for attention

Daughters lose their mothers
To hundreds of cancers
Fathers never get to meet their sons
Leaving their widows to care for them

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I’m heartwrenched
How can I help?
How can I help?
I’m heartwrenched
I’m gonna help
I’m gonna help

Chorus II:
When it happens in a far off place
Some go out of their way
When the pain is too hard to take
Some help take it away
When it’s something we don’t want to face
Real heroes save the day

Alien

We came crashing down here
Doesn’t look familiar
Nothing like where I’m from
We stand under a new sun

We try to navigate
This untraveled terrain
And I must admit
That I’m a little nervous

Chorus:
This is all so new to me
It feels so alien
This is where we should be
The world I want to be in
This is all so new to me
It feels so alien
Stars line up so we can see
And I finally believe it

This strange new planet
Just how I’d have planned it
Laws from before don’t apply
Float mid-air side by side

In uncharted space
Still don’t feel out of place
Even in the dark, you light
Explosions in my sky

Repeat Chorus

Elixir

I watched the sun drop
As I wrote what I wanted
To happen to me

I turned the corner
Clueless to what I would find
There waiting for me

Chorus:
You could call it bliss
It’s what most people miss
It’s right here, right now
It’s this, it’s this, it’s this
It’s you and it’s me
Feeling this happy
Never would’ve thought
This is how it would be

I was hidden in
A cave that was so dark
Not allowed to see

You pull me out from
The depressed underground
You have stolen me

Bridge:
From where I couldn’t see
What was right ahead of me
All the tears I wouldn’t have cried
If I could have seen
Just what was coming
Sometimes you have to believe
Through the darkness of it all
The best is still coming….

Repeat Chorus

“The List”

You made a list of why you should go
And why you should stay
But nowhere on that list
Did I see my name

I asked you why and you said because
I’ve always been here
And every time you leave
Without any fear

Chorus
That this could be the last time
That I could be whisked away
That you could lose me forever
Because you think I’ll always stay
And oh I didn’t plan it
Didn’t mean for it to happen like this
It ends up being so ironic
Cause I should have been on that list

Why, why can’t you see it happening?
I try to reach out
But you won’t grab a hold
Cause I’m always around

You know how much I care for you
Would’ve done anything
But you’re never concerned
You never believe

Bridge
I tried to warn you
I tried to hold you
But you let me go
Afraid to be too close
But it only takes a day
To be taken away….

Chorus II
And so that was the last time
Cause I’ve been taken away
I’m gone now forever
I tried my hardest to stay
And oh I didn’t plan it
Didn’t mean for it to happen like this
It ends up being so ironic
Cause I should have been on your list….

Millie (Number One Fan)

You’re always there to boost me
When I’m feeling crappy
You find ways to crack me up
When the days are so tough

You think that you can’t do it
You better not forget
You are the most awesome
You can so do it all!

Chorus
You are my number one fan
Everyone clap their hands!
Millie’s making the days bright
When things aren’t going right
Everyone clap their hands!
Let’s get down and dance dance dance

If you need a reminder
About how great you are
Why don’t you just play this song
And you just show them all!

And we can totally dance
Cause we’re so cool like that!
You can show them how it’s done
I told you, you’re number one!
