IT’S ON YOU
(“Cameo” CD)

Verse 1:
Big name band called you on the phone today
Heard you Friday night and they want you to play
They’ll leave for cities far away on their next tour
You’re hot to leave this scene but you feel insecure
Chorus 1:
It’s on you. All those ups and downs – they’re through, if you can see
It’s on you. Change the way you feel inside
It’s easy when it’s up to you
There’s no need to doubt, it’s true. Just take the chance
It’s on you. Know that you can light your way
(Peace is from the inside out) – 1st time
(Know that you can free) – 2nd time to bridge
(Peace will come cause it’s on you) – 3rd time
Verse 2:
You close your eyes and dream and it’s the best you’ve felt
But fly too near the sun, your wings of wax will melt
You’ve touched the star of fame and you feel like a king
But lose your paper crown and it’s the blues you’ll sing
Bridge:
...your heart goes from fire to ice - hell to paradise
Only feeling good, if someone approves of you
Your mind… always changing hue – pale to midnight blue
Never resting still enough to feel the peace that belongs to you, if you only knew
