It's A Beach Day (Mel Borins) 1.Dancing in the waves Playing in the sand Soaking up the sun Having so much fun It’s a beach day 2.Crashing in the waves Playing in the sunset Watching crabs hiding in the sand Isn’t life grand It’s a beach day Running away it’s a beach day (2) 3. Slow day and just observe Don’t have to work no more No need to say a word Dadadaadada Just relax 4.Listen to the waves Crashing on the beach Wind blowing through my clothes Sand between my toes Saltwater up my nose Sit and watch the rainbows It’s a beach day (2) Running away it’s a beach day(2) It’s a beach day (3)

Lost A Friend (Mel Borins) I lost a friend the other day. She sat right next to me, Then slipped away. Now all that’s left Is one big hole, Filled with all the people She left behind. And every now and then I see her face I’m reminded it could have been me In her place So I stand up tall Hold my head up high Take a deep breath Put on a great big smile And I say to myself What a lucky day What a wonderful day What a beautiful day to be alive Car spinning off the road. Flying glass, bloody clothes. All alone in a hospital bed, Finding out my friend was dead. And every now and then I see her face I’m reminded it could have been me In her place I can smell the flowers Taste the wine Laugh out loud Feel joy inside. And I scream at the top of my lungs It’s great to be alive. Our lives are measured by the number Of people we leave behind. I lost a friend the other day. She sat next to me Slipped away.

Spring Is Here (Mel Borins) Spring Spring is coming I can feel it pushing through my window pane Ice is melting I know I won’t be seeing snow again It’s been a time since we were running Shirt tails flying in the air But who cares? I see the robin running barefoot across my lawn Hear flowers yelling “Let me out from beneath this frozen ground!” Sunny day, you’re so cute I could kiss you on the cheek Suddenly My skin is breathing And I’m squinting through the trees It’s surprising There’s a rising inside of me Good-bye boots Good-bye gloves Hello warmth And love above Sun above La la la

Nursing Home 03:29
NURSING HOME (MEL BORINS) Four bare walls Long dark halls No one calls No one knows my name Locked in fear Lying in my underwear No one cares I just sit and stare The days and nights All seem the same Time drags on All hope is gone The graveyard calls And I just stay The future fades I had it all I had a wife I had a child I had a house I had a car I had a job I had so many things I didn’t even know where to put them all I had it all. Just disappeared Where did it go? Vanished in thin air Was it all a dream? Time flew so fast I can’t believe I had it all Elevator doors Open and close Nurses come Doctors go Just a prison cell No bars on the doors A living hell Urine smell I’m just a hollow shell Sit and stare No where to go Paralyzed All hope is gone The prison cell They call my room It's just a tomb The graveyard calls The graveyard calls

Two Jets Soaring (Mel Borins) Two jets soaring, Flying through the sky, Turned into two white doves, So peaceful as they fly. Poisonous snakes, Coiled around a gun, Transformed into smiling children, Playing neath the setting sun. Fists clenched in hatred, Eyes filled with scorn, Burst into a lover's kiss, An eternal flame was born. Armies of soldiers, Marching off to war, Became a band of angels, Ascending to the stars. Flags of the nations, Flying over the ground, Merged into one large flag, That covered the whole world round. Dark clouds looming in the sky, Were covered by a rainbow, A thousand miles wide.

Wasting Time 03:15
Wasting Time (Mel Borins) Gonna waste my time thinking about loving you Wanna be there when your smile comes shining through Wanna see the sun rise In your eyes Wanna hold you close In the morning light Wanna waste my time thinking about loving you Wanna spend some time with you tonight Watch the bright moon rising in the sky Wanna see the stars Sparkle and shine Wanna hold you hand Next to mine Wanna spend some time with you tonight Wasting time Loving you Slowing down Just we two Here we are Wasting time Peace inside Me and you Feel so safe Next to you Holding hands Nothing to do Time stands still When I’m with you Feel so safe All alone, all alone Gonna waste time thinking about loving you Wanna be there when your smile comes shining through Wanna see the sun rise In your eyes Wanna hold you close In the morning light Wanna waste my time thinking about loving you

Changes Part 1 (Mel Borins) My eyes were closed and I was hurting. 
Head in the sand wishing for a change,
 The road I'm on is a dead end. I need to make a change 
I've got to make a change. 

Time to shed my old skin
 Spread my wings and leave my cocoon 
Break out of the chains wrapped around my brain 
It's time to make a change 
Time to change

 Open my eyes so confused
 So many paths don't know which way to turn
 Time to let go 
I need to make a change Time for me to change 

I began to crawl
 On my hands and knees
 Tried to stand but just fell down 
Finally stood on my own two feet again 
On my own two feet again.

Changes part 2 (Mel Borins) Finally stood on my own two feet Felt so good to walk again Tiny steps, winding path, Lost in the fog, hard to see ahead Three steps forward, two steps back I felt like giving up, but I pushed on Came to a bridge, old and dangerous I crossed it anyway, darkness fell Climb round and round Climb round and round Climb round and round The endless mountain So many guides helped me find my way Climb to the top Victorious, fist in the air My head held high

Changes part 3 (Change Is So Difficult) (Mel Borins) 

The only change I ever made is the change inside my heart
 First step to make a change is to dream a brand new start
 Change is so difficult
 All begins by letting go
 Reach out and trust
 Stick your neck out

 Sunshine on a rainy day Rainbow lights the sky 
Trees and flowers everywhere Birds waving as they fly 
Change is so difficult
 With one small step 
Have faith and trust
 Stick your neck out Change is so difficult
 All begins by letting go 
Have faith and trust
 Stick your neck out

FIRST MET Y0U (Mel Borins M.D.) When I first met you, You were born out of love. When I first met you, Heaven sent from above When I first met you, I remember your cry, Your bright, wide-open, blue eyes. You were born one morning, First month of the year, I remember the fear in my heart, And the joy when I knew you were finally here. CHORUS Took you home from the hospital, Put you in your yellow room, You became a part of our lives, And you made our family bloom. I watch you grow And I watch you change Every day so different Yet always the same CHORUS

All Alone 02:06
All Alone (Mel Borins) All alone Waiting for the phone to ring Maybe someone remembering Today is my birthday Loneliness No one I can care about Just a young child on a rainy day With no one to play with me You might say life’s like that And we’re really all alone But I remember a young girl and me My we shared life so openly Alone am I All my friends have gone away I just stay, not sure why Are we here to let time fly by? Are we here just to let time fly by? Are we here just to let time fly by?

Bali 02:54
Bali (Mel Borins) I remember Bali in the sun and rain, I remember Bali and I know I'll be there again, I remember Bali cause my heart felt no pain, The people were so sane. It was hard to leave Bali, Our friends wouldn't let us go. Each time it came to leave, They always told us no. When the time came to move on, Our plane would be heading off, And we'd be heading home, To make love in our tiny hotel room The sky was full of stars, The fields were full of shit. We tried our damndest, To stay away from it. We even made friends with the cows, All our friends showed us how. The streets were so quiet, You could hear the cycles pass On main Kuta Beach Road The fruit stands were so busy They were pouring out the juices, Mangoes,papayas,and salaks, People were smiling a lot, Everybody hanging loose, Everyone feeling bagus. In Bali the sunsets were so good, Every night's red we really understood. The best time came after the fall, Never have to worry you could see it all, Never have to hurry there would never be a lineup, Standing together on the beach, That big red sun just falling out of reach.

Tickle My Feet (Mel Borins/ Mitch Girio) Feed, burp me Rock me to sleep Push me in the stroller Tickle my feet Daddy and Mommy Please rub my tummy I’ll poo in my potty Please wipe my bum I love watching tv Playing hide and go seek Read me a story Play games with me Walk me to the park Push me on the swing Push me down the slide Listen to me sing Daddy and Mommy Please rub my tummy I’ll poo in the potty Please wipe my bum I love watching tv Playing hide and go seek Read me a story Play games with me Sucking my thumb, Counting my toes Brushing my teeth Picking my nose...

Mother 04:08
Mother (Mel Borins) Cleaned out the cupboards Emptied the drawers Folded your dresses into boxes on the floor Gave away your dishes Gave away your clothes Gave away everything Everything that your love Oh Mama So good to me Oh Mama All that’s left are memories Say goodbye to telephone calls No more paying bills Say goodbye to doctors Say goodbye to pills Turn off the lights Lock all the doors Say goodbye forever I’ll never see you anymore Oh Mama So good to me Oh Mama All that’s left are memories How’s the family? Give the family my regards When will I see you? When will I see you? Never again Never again Never again Never Oh Mama So good to me Oh Mama All that’s left are memories All that’s left are memories All that’s left are memories

I'm Right You're Wrong by Mel Borins I make you wrong So I can feel right I put you down So I can feel high I make you wrong I make you wrong I make you wrong so I can feel right!  When I was young I was made to feel bad When I was young I was made to feel dumb When I was young When I was small I put you down so I can feel tall CHORUS We play this game called I’m right your wrong Nobody wins You just feel all alone We do this dance called I'm right you’re wrong Nobody wins you’re just left all alone! When I make you wrong I can justify being mean I can criticize the things you say, The things you do When I make you wrong I justify being cruel to you CHORUS I have a dream There’s no need to scream We can both agree We both can win Be on the same side We both can win If I make you right Doesn’t mean that I’m wrong We see the world from a different place We see the world from a different space We can both be right Be on the same side We can be right No need to fight.

Boundaries (Mel Borins) There are no boundaries to the winds No borders bending with the sky No limits touch my heart No signals tell me when to fly And I can’t help but breathe The glow of sundrops in the air Hear the silence softly singing See the flowers shyly giggling At the clouds bashfully kissing Beneath the blushing sun who’s listening To the wispy words they’re whispering About a sunray that is glistening And the movement of the morning everywhere You can breathe in all the perfumes And hear the symphonies You can swallow up the morning And blend in with what you see So let your spongy mind absorb the pulsing sceneries Hear the robin start to grin as the sunray tickles him Feel the shivers in your skin Saying beauty’s setting in And your head will start to swim And your mind will start to spin And you’ll feel a part of nature Everywhere

Our world, Our soul, We are one. I will never forget you, And never forsake you, Can you hear my heart song? Close your eyes, Look inside, Feel your soul, We are one, Peace and joy, Love and hope, We are one. Hear O world, Hear O world, We are one. Our world, Our soul, We are one.
