Track Name: Trojan-John And The Living Salvation - Life's too short
Verse 1:

Come on now little child.
Tell me why you don't smile.
Are you going to get on, get on, get on and get down.
Your tears in a jar, don't mean a thing.
Wipe em' away and get funky.

Pre-chorus:

You can scream it all out from the top of your lungs.
Get on, get out like a bullet from a gun.
No need to hold me cause I know.

Chorus:
Life's too short to hold back.
You got to get on, get on, get on, get on and dance now.

Verse 2:

So come on now little child.
Let loose and get wild.
You can feel the vibe in the air.
Well you can stamp your feet.
Clap your hands to feel the melody.
Get on, get on, get on and get down.

(Repeat pre-chorus & chorus)

Track Name: Trojan-John feat. Ezy E - Believe (acoustic jam)
Verse 1:
My dreams are the colours that metaphorically paint my world,
you see the say its greener on the other side,
I'm like an Israelite
looking to my land of milk and honey,
but the world will never understand me.
So they box me up, they lock me up,
They key me as an idealist
but truly I’m a realist,
Still my dreams reside and engulf the notions of mediocrity tick tock like a time bomb blowing through my present continuity.
But you see the world is more like a keynesian economist the laws of supply
and demand engulf our waking consciousness,
So they stomp our dreams and
say the logic is nonsense,
so like a metaphorical stick up we just quit and stop it,
but like day light robbery forsaken dreams
scorn our hearts like a lions main it acts as a
constant reminder of what it could have been or who we could have been.
You see life is too short for regrets
and unlike Foxtel you can never ever digress or regress
the time spent you see, so I will sing out loud for this whole world to hear
"this little light in me I’m gonna make it shine "
for the whole wide world to see
he who dwells in me for through him all things are
made possible no matter how bleak, my present tangible,
feeling like a cross between the Hulk and Mr Incredible stand in my way and
all you’ll see the impossible made probable then conquerable no matter my obstacle.

Chorus:
Cause I want to dream of what I can be.
So why do you tear up my beliefs?
Cause I want to choose, what I must do.
So I can be all I dreamed.
Cause I believe. (I do, I do, I do believe)
Cause I believe. (I do, I do, I do believe)

Verse 2:
I'll learn from and embrace my failures
like Thomas Edison I know its the key to illuminating my saviour.
But you see sometimes its so hard even the strongest of us feel disbarred.
It's like our dream took us to court and completely annihilated our hearts.
Leaving us feeling like Nelson Mandela convicted for giving so much for the greater.
But you see our dreams are greater than who we be
Like Jeremiah 29 God pre planed our destiny
So we keep on moving on till the days ended,
Cause we know the key to success is ironclad, determination
I know it might be hard but as the say, anything worth having is worth fighting for
So the bigger my dream the greater myself control
I'll keep on striving till I reach my goal.
I ain't running out of steam,
I keeping running like the A-team.

(Repeat chorus)
Track Name: Barefoot Child
Verse 1:

Lately I have been lost.
Trying to find my feet.
For too long, I've had no hope.
While others eat.

Chorus:

I'm a barefoot child,
Who walks for miles.
Just to drink.
Would all things change?
If you a lived a day, in my shoes.
With nothing to lose.

Verse 2:

Brothers and sisters a like.
Have you thought of change?
To give a helping hand.
To your fellow man.
We all bleed the same.

Chorus:
Cause a barefoot child.
Walks for miles.
Just to drink.
With no helping hand.
From his fellow man.
And nothing to eat.
And nowhere to sleep.
Track Name: Back to you
If I could find things, that could do everything.
If I could do more, to show you I adore.
Everything about you, and what you do.
Wrap it all up and give it back to you.

If I could say words, that make your bad day turn.
If I could find, a smile to put on your dial.
To make you laugh and sing, A latididi.
Wrap it all up and give it back to you.

If I could catch your dreams, and all your fantasy.
Well I would make, them true, so you'll never be blue.
Never be down and out, as long as I'm around.
Wrap it all up and give it back to you.
Track Name: Come and get me now (Let me be)
Verse 1:

Cast my line and hope for a bite.
These dark old clouds, hanging over my head.
I wish they go on home, I wish they disappear.
Move on out and get on out of here.

Chorus:
Cause I lost my soul and I'm losing control.
Come and save me now, got to get out of this town.
Set me free.
Let me be.

Verse 2:

Sugared insults and a sweet obscenity.
I can see it your eyes that your sugar coating lies.
So I hope my line, gets a bite.
So I can kick this life and get out of here.

(repeat chorus)

Bridge:
Takedown, shakedown, breakdown can't get my mind at ease.
Depressed, oppressed and all the rest, I can't seem to please.
You and him, he and she, everything in between.
So let me go and I know, I will be at peace.
Come and get me now.

(Instrumental)

Outro:

Cause I scraped my soul, lost control.
Come and get me now, Let me be.
