Young Love 04:09
lyrics

Young Love I never used to wish for what could not be mine I’d watch the heavens moving see the days and nights I used to read my palm and try to count the times The shooting stars aligned and wrote my name in lights They’d tell me I should just be patient That good things come to those who wait Some people spend their life stargazing Looking to the sky To see if they can find The one they love Find the one they love The one they love You never used to wish for what could not be yours You learned to walk and talk adventure and explore I’d be the one you’d run to every time you cried The shooting stars aligned and wrote your name in lights I’d tell you that you should be patient That good things come to those who wait And not to spend your life stargazing Looking to the sky To see if you can find The one you love Find the one you love The one you love Bridge /: Can we depend upon the moment stars collide? If there’s a way to shape the future and our mind 'Mirando por los cielos Quemando del calor Millones de estrellas Tan llenas de amor' His father told him he should reach up to the sky That he can find a love that money just can’t buy He used to read his palm and try to count the times The shooting stars aligned and wrote his name in lights He told him that he should be patient That good things come to those who wait And not to spend his life stargazing Looking to the sky To see who he can find If only we could just be patient Cos good things come to those who wait We shouldn’t spend our life stargazing Looking to the sky To see the stars align So many days and nights Cos we can only try To find - the one - we love. ad lib Elizabeth Uwalaka ©️2020 PRS Tunecode: 455281DR

Lucky 04:39
lyrics

Lucky V1/: Sell everything you have And leave the planet Make yourself a promise Throw away your nasty habits Everybody’s got a job to do It’s to live and die each day I can’t believe the things we do - And what we have to say Ch/: From the highest mountains I can see the whole wide world Who is the lucky boy? Who is the happy girl? I’d sell my soul to make it last a lifetime through I’d give my soul away to spend my life with you I’d give my soul away to spend my life with you. V2/: If I just sit and wait Till the end of time now I’d hope that you’d give me the chance To tell the world you’re mine now? So can you please forgive me For what I’ve got to say? I’ve got to tell the truth Before we both grow old and grey Ch/: From the highest mountains I can see the whole wide world Who is the lucky boy? Who is the happy girl? I’d sell my soul to make it last a lifetime through I’d give my soul away to spend my life with you I’d give my soul away to spend my life with you. Bridge/: I live and die each day I have to bite my tongue Break down those prison walls And set me free to run Am I to be a captive And spend my time in chains? I’ve got to have the truth to liberate my soul again V3/: When my body’s spent And nothing’s left to lose To live a life of love-or-hate I know which one that I’d choose And with my final breath Just before I close my eyes I’d run to you and hold you When I get to paradise Ch/: From the highest mountains I can see the whole wide world Who is the lucky boy? Who is the happy girl? I’d sell my soul to make it last a lifetime through I’d give my soul away to spend my life with you I’d give my soul away to spend my life with you Oooh - I’d give my soul away I’d give my soul away, give my soul away, I’d give my soul away for you From the highest mountain top, I can see the whole wide world / I’d give my soul away, give my soul away, I’d give my soul away for you Who is the lucky boy, who is the happy girl? / I’d give my soul away, give my soul away, I’d give my soul away for you ©️2020, Elizabeth Uwalaka PRS Tunecode: 453107FS

Raise Our Voices Verse 1: Why close your eyes? Don’t hide behind the lies Brutality Can you see? So cruel and mean. The state we’re in Of hate and sin No more abuse Got no excuse Look for the truth Chorus: We’re gonna speak up Raise our voices We’re gonna kneel down Gonna stand together Raise our hands up Break the silence End the violence Take a stand together (We’re) gonna make the whole world see For a new reality We’re changing history Verse 2: Your words divide Build walls inside Reach out your hand Take a stand Draw lines in the sand. Chorus: We’re gonna speak up Raise our voices We’re gonna kneel down Gonna stand together Raise our hands up Break the silence End the violence Take a stand together Gonna make the whole world see For a new reality We’re changing history. Bridge: We've got to be free From this disease We must demonstrate Love over hate Chorus: We’re gonna speak up Raise our voices We’re gonna kneel down Gonna stand together Raise our hands up Break the silence End the violence Take a stand together (We’re) gonna make the whole world see For a new reality We’re changing history We’re gonna speak up Raise our voices We’re gonna kneel down Gonna stand together Raise our hands up Break the silence End the violence Take a stand together (We’re) gonna make the whole world see For a new reality We’re changing history (x3) Coda: We’re gonna raise our voices We’re gonna put our hands up For a new reality We’re gonna break the silence We’re gonna end the violence We’re gonna change our history Gonna raise our voices Gonna put our hands up A new reality Gonna break the silence Gonna end the violence Gonna change our history Raise our voices Put our hands up New reality Break the silence End the violence Change our history. ©RU Music 2020 PRS Tunecode: 409423FP

Stolen Moments V1/: Feel Touch You are in my heart Making this last for always whenever we are apart V2/: Touch me and hold me as everything pales into the night You and I are more precious than the stars in the deep blue sky Ch/: Looking out for Stolen Moments Like a thief that’s stealing time Reaching out for stolen moments When will you be mine? V3/: Hold me and Show me A heaven on earth where we can stay Floating on clouds at sunrise when the shadows all fade away Ch/: Looking out for Stolen Moments Like a thief that’s stealing time Reaching out for stolen moments When will you be mine? Br/: I cross my heart I swear that I can’t live without you And I’d never doubt you Know my feelings When I need your V4/: Touch ..... Feel .... Painting a picture in my mind Colour me with your love-light They never said love is blind Ch/: Looking out for Stolen Moments Like a thief that’s stealing time Reaching out for stolen moments When will you be...? When will you be...? Ch/: Looking out, looking out for Stolen Moments I'm like a thief that’s stealing time Reaching out for stolen moments When will you be mine? When will you be mine? Stolen Moments Stolen Moments When will you be mine? Stolen Moments Oooh, Stolen Moments When will you be...? When will you be...? When will you be mine?

Forever and a Day V/: Break of dawn and the half-light reveals your frame You’re half-alive no surrender to win the game Digging deep into your foundation a gemstone shining there in the rough Rolling stone with the best of reputations never is enough Ch/: Foreign shore Silent war With all the world in your hands Turn the tide to wait till forever and a day V/: Victory inside out Is a sad defeat In memory every conquest is at your feet Wage a war against imperfection One man’s defection a masquerade There in the shadows is your protection Hope begins to fade Ch/: Foreign shore Silent war With all the world in your hands Turn the tide to wait till forever and a day Br/: When every lesson learned is in your head Why don’t you break the rules instead? And if you’re brave enough to walk away You’ll live to fight and win another day Ch/: Foreign shore Silent war With all the world in your hands Turn the tide to wait till forever Foreign shore Silent war With all the world in your hands Turn the tide to wait till forever and a day Turn the tide to wait till forever and a day Turn the tide to wait till forever and a day Forever Forever and a day ©2020 Elizabeth Uwalaka PRS Tunecode: 471786DV

Hero V1/: Someday you will know How you helped me grow To love and understand You led me by the hand And everyone can see The way you care for me It’s shining like a lighthouse in my life Ch/: You know, you’re my hero And my love for you grows stronger every day You know, you’re my hero And you mean much more than simple words can say V2/: When you went away I wished that you could stay Don’t stay away too long Cos that would be so wrong I know that I’m not small You help me when I fall You’re shining like a lighthouse in my life Ch/: You know, you’re my hero And forever you will be a part of me You know, you’re my hero And I know you’re always watching over me Br/: I loved to hear you sing my favourite song When days were short and winter nights were long And though you had to say goodbye I never let you see me cry Cos your love was the one thing that made me strong. Mi querido mi amor Siempre estarás conmigo Eres en mi corazón Y en cada pensamiento En mi alma y en todo movimiento Estoy segura que Nunca tú me verás llorar Eso es para siempre Ch/: You know, you’re my hero And my love for you grows stronger every day You know, you’re my hero And you mean much more than simple words can say You know, you’re my hero Te quiero más de día en día You know eso nunca cambiará Mucho más que amistad Nunca tú me verás llorar And I know you’ll always be a part of me You’ll be there forever watching over me You’ll be there forever watching over me Over me And you’ll live forever in my memory. ©2020 Elizabeth Uwalaka PRS Tunecode: 471786DW

Brighter Day V1/: Worried, weary, You’ve got to go to ground A fear of failure Love can bring you down How can I set you free? Why don’t you try and see it my way? Why don’t you trust in me? Maybe you really ought to know there’s Ch/: No need to be afraid You can stand on your two feet again You’ll find the rainbow’s end Look for a brighter day. V2/: Mistakes, bad breaks You’ll wash your tears away. Learning, searching Love’s the game we play And now is the time you change But only if you can plan it your way You’ve got to trust and see Whenever you want then you can show me, there’s Ch/: No need to be afraid You can stand on your two feet again You’ll find the rainbow’s end Look for a brighter day No need to be afraid You can stand on your two feet again You’ll find the rainbow’s end Look for a brighter day Br/: There is nothing you can’t do I know you’ll find your way You’ll find for a brighter day Look for, a brighter day a brighter day a brighter day Look for, a brighter day Ch/: No need to be afraid You can stand on your two feet again You’ll find the rainbow’s end Look for a brighter day No need to be afraid (You will feel it) You can stand on your two feet again (You will see it) You’ll find the rainbow’s end (You will find it) Look for a brighter day (You will know it) Look for a brighter day Look for a brighter day Look for a brighter day Look for a brighter day. ©2018 Elizabeth Uwalaka, RU Music PRS Tunecode: 360904BS

Kisses Like Strawberry Wine V/ I have a story from so long ago (It) reads like a lesson that you ought to know It’s the sort that gets learnt when Your fingers get burnt So it’s only a matter of time V/: When I was young and the days were so long (and the) sweet summer sunshine would shine on and on (that’s when) I caught her eye and she surely caught mine With her kisses like strawberry wine Ch/: Never give up on the dreams that you have Follow your feelings so true Whether together in good times and bad See what your heart makes you do V/: ( I ) asked for her hand from her mom and her dad But sometimes the old folks just don’t understand (So we) carved on a tree both our love hearts entwined Tasting kisses like strawberry wine Ch/: Never give up on the dreams that you have Follow your feelings so true Whether together in good times and bad See what your heart makes you do Br/: ( I ) waited so patiently day after day (Was) chasing the moon and the sun. (But) courage is my true companion for life And I knew that she was the one V/: So when I look out at the sun on the lake Losing my true love’s more than I can take ( ‘Cos her ) love was so dear to me Kept her so near with her kisses like strawberry wine Ch/: Never give up on the dreams that you have Follow your feelings so true Whether together in good times and bad See what your heart makes you do Whether together in good times and bad See what your heart makes you do See what t your heart makes you do Coda With those kisses like strawberry wine With kisses like strawberry wine With the kisses like strawberry wine With kisses like strawberry wine With those kisses, kisses like strawberry wine With those kisses like strawberry wine With kisses, kisses like strawberry wine With kisses like strawberry wine. ©️ 2021 Elizabeth Uwalaka PRS Tunecode: 451461KQ

Lonely City V1/: Do you think it’s gonna last forever? Do you think it’s never gonna change? When there’s no way that you can forget her All her avenues and secret ways Pre Ch/: And I get misty eyed again Walking streets I’ve been before See them rising up below me Feeling she knows me for sure Ch/: Lights go out in our lonely city All her colours fade to red Never seen her look so pretty With all my dreams inside her head Inside her head Inside her head. V2/: When I take a walk you still remind me Of the places that you brought me to In a taxi going by the river I’m in love with every part of you Pre Ch2/: And I get misty eyed again In a place that I call home When I look around I see her I guess she knows me for sure Ch/: Lights go out in our lonely city All her colours fade to red Never seen her look so pretty With all my dreams inside her head Inside her head Inside her head With all my dreams inside All my dreams inside. V3/: And I know that this won’t last forever Just give it time it’s gonna change. There’s no way I could ever forget her All her avenues and secret ways Ch/: Lights go out in our lonely city All her colours fade to red Never seen her look so pretty With all my dreams inside - her head Inside her head Inside her head Inside her head Inside her head Coda/: This lonely city, misty eyed again This lonely city, misty eyed again This lonely city, misty eyed again This lonely city Misty eyed again. 2020©️Elizabeth Uwalaka PRS Tunecode: 448615GP PRS Tunecode: 406502AS

And reminisce Oh - a lifetime! Ch/: Destiny What’s the plan for me? Misery or do I celebrate? Brevity My reality My finality That’s how the story goes My reality My finality That’s my destiny That’s how the story goes That’s how the story goes Coda That’s how the story That’s how the story That’s how the story goes Look to the sky until you find your paradise [That’s how the story, that’s how the story, that’s how the story goes] I still remember when I looked into your eyes [That’s how the story, that’s how the story, that’s how the story goes] My destiny is giving me the reason why [That’s how the story, that’s how the story, that’s how the story goes] I celebrate the day you came into my life [I celebrate the day you came into my life].

Number One V1/ Have you ever been in a place like a heaven but you feel like you’re living in hell? And did you ever deal in a dance with the devil like a truth that you never can tell? Pre Ch/ Just be careful what you wish for It’s not always fun To be number one V2/ And did you ever dine in an old gas station When you ain’t got nothing to eat? And have you ever run to make a break for the border And shook off your dusty feet? Pre Ch/ Just be careful what you wish for It’s not always fun To be number one Ch/ It’s alright for some Living here under the sun Well I’m just a son of a gun And It’s alright for some.... To be number one V3/ Have you been listening, with your eyes all glistening To a friend when they cry their heart out? Did you shout in a whisper to another sister’s mister And sow some sassy seeds of doubt? Pre Ch/ Be careful what you wish for It’s not always fun Being number one Ch/ Yeah! It’s alright for some Living here under the sun I’m just a son of a gun It’s alright for some... To be number one Br/: Well you can try to teach a preacher If their lies don’t feature Paint a picture of your daily truth What’s the point in their lying When we’re living and we’re dying? Let them try to walk a mile in your boots V4/ If you slide up to them big pearly gates and you’re standing there a-waiting for me I’ll be rolling up late with my cool 88s and holding St Peter’s key Pre Ch/ Be careful what you wish for It’s not always fun To be number one Ch/ Well, It’s alright for some Living here under the sun I’m just a son of a gun It’s alright for some To be number It’s alright for some Living here under the sun I’m just a son of a gun It’s alright for some To be number one Still number one Still number one Still number one You’re Still number one Still number one Still number one Number one Just a number one. ©️2019 Elizabeth Uwalaka PRS Tunecode: 455281DT

about

The tracks on this album represent a slice of what we offer - songs across a range of genres and styles, with catchy melodies and lyrics to make you stop and think.

Eight of the tracks were recorded as soon as lockdown ended in England, and it was so liberating to put what was in our creative minds into a recording studio once again, together, doing what we love, for people who we hope love music as much as we do!

From speaking to the founder of the London Community Gospel Choir in 2020 for 'Raise Our Voices', to seeing the song sweep across faith communities, and feature as a resource for Racial Justice Sunday 2020, and to an interview with international magazine The Tablet, and receiving contact from the Bond Movie franchise management for 'Forever and a Day', we are making waves in a big ocean.

We look forward to more collaboration with artists, management, producers and musicians alike and more live performances to come.

We are RU Music - Michael Reeman and Elizabeth Uwalaka
