THE OTHER SIDE
Brett Wade/Glenda Rae
Verse 1
Hey little soldier
won't you put that big gun down
You've wandered far
from your home back in Kingston town
God and man are forgotten on these brutal streets
Come take my hand and I'll show you if you walk with me
Chorus 1
(Were) Walkin' on the other side of life
Walking on the other side of life
The sun is shinin' down and it feels good
To feel alive
Verse 2
Hey there pretty dove
you're a picture sittin' in that tree
Just like your mamma
were you dreamin' of a family
All of the burnin' and the hate took your song away
And left hot tears runnin' down your innocent face
Chorus 2
Walkin' on the other side of life
Walkin' on the other side of life
The sun is shinin' down and it's enough
To be alive
Solo
Now come and lift your head
Walkin', walkin', walkin' on with me
All come and move those feet
Walkin', walkin', walkin' on to peace
Chorus 3
Walkin' on the other side of life
Walkin' on the other side of life
Love is shinin' down and it feels good
(To come together everyone and unite)
Chorus 4
Walkin' on the other side of life
Walkin' on the other side of life
Love is shinin inside
of your soul
Get together we can unite
Bridge
Walkin' on the other
Walking on the other
Walkin' on the other
Walkin' on the other
Outro
Now lift your head little ones
Walkin' Walkin' walkin' on with me
Come get together we're
walkin' walkin' walkin' to be free
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Cause we 're dancin', dancin', dancin' onto peace
So lift your head up high
walkin' walkin' walkin' on with me

Maybe by Glenda Rae and Brett Wade
Maybe my heart can feel something again
Thought I'd be gone without a trace
Maybe this time love has shown up for me
Well maybe
Verse 1
You and I were halfway down the road
taking careful steps on some stony ground
when a lightning strike made our world's collide
Topsy turvy crazy free falling but I'm not afraid for the first time since never before in my life time
Chorus
Maybe your heart can feel something for me
Thought you'd be long gone without a trace
But maybe this time love has shown up for you
Maybe
Verse 2
I have lived my life I've thought of you more than a thousand times
Didn't know your face couldn't say your name
You're the only one I've ever known who could bring me here over endless miles
from a lonely room to a lovely place
Chorus
Maybe my heart can start living again
Or I'll disappear without a trace
Maybe this time love has shown up for real
Bridge
Maybe you're here just in time for me
Maybe we've got time to burn
When the last shadows fall
You're where I want to be
So please leave the light on
Chorus
Maybe our hearts can be young again
Standing with you face to face
Maybe this time love has shown up for us
And maybe Ya maybe it's time for us

SUGAR by BRETT WADE/GLENDA RAE
Chorus
Sugar, where do you come from
Sugar, where do you come from
Verse
You've got look that says someone wants you
So what ya doin' out here alone
You've got to try to help me find the one who left
You out here like trash, it's just so cold
Little one where do you come from
Chorus
Sugar, where do you come from
Sugar, where do you come from
Verse 2
You've got a story that needs to be told now
You've got marks he left on your skin
I'll never let him forget all you're fight for life
Or your mamma's cries
they're still screaming at me no, no, no
Hey, where do you come from
Hey, where do you come from?
Bridge
You're just a little girl coming to the city
From a midwest town where you'd settle
What did he have in mind
Promised he'd be real good
But look at you
What'd he want with you
O, sugar
Solo
Chorus
Hey, where do you come from
Hey, where do you come from?
Hey, sugar where do you come from
Hey, where do you come from
Sugar.

Manitoba Sky Brett Wade/Glenda Rae January 16 2010
Verse 1
3 and partly cloudy today But that wind cuts like minus 2 I pack my stuff
I stow it away
In your truck

It starts me thinking of Miles we have to go
And 2 weeks didn't last
ya, i know there's always next year You say that's not very far
Good-bye My Manitoba sky
Verse 2
You know
I've got someone waiting back home
she's been countin' each and every day Full of stories
And the light
In her eyes
shining for me
Just a few hours away
Chorus
It starts me thinking these years never last
And sometimes we'll have to break cause it's hard to say Good-bye
My Manitoba sky
Solo
Lovely Manitoba sky

All the miles we go Further down the road all these times can't last So it's Goodbye
Chorus
One more mile to go

WHEN YOU’RE GONE
Verse 1
When you’re gone
I’m alone
On my own
It gets hard
Waiting for you
Verse 2
You don’t know
How I’ve tried
All these nights
To forget
Wasted over you
Chorus 1
When you’re gone
I don’t cry
I don’t feel
Much of anything
I don’t laugh
I don’t love
Like a dead man
Keeps on walking
Babe, when you’re gone
Solo
Verse 3
When you’re gone
I can’t shake
All these dreams
In my head
Going crazy
Verse 4
Up all night
Sleep all day
Living wild
I regret
Every moment
Chorus 2
When you’re gone
I can’t eat
I can’t do
Much of anything
I don’t want
To live here
Like a dead man
Keep on walking
Babe, when you’re gone
Solo
Bridge
I didn’t know that you
Would reach so deep inside of me
And tell me anything
To give me something to believe
Love is an ocean
And I’ve fallen in much too deep
If I can’t turn and walk away
Then tell me why
I keep on walking
Babe when you’re gone
Solo
Chorus 3
When you’re gone
I don’t cry
I don’t feel
Much of anything
I don’t laugh
I don’t love
Like a dead man
A hollow man
Chorus 4/ending
When you’re gone
I don’t dream
I don’t see
Much of anyone
I don’t want
To live here
Like a dead man
Keeps on walking
Babe, when you’re gone
Keeps on walking
Babe when you’re gone
Keeps on walking
Babe, when you’re gone

Learning to Fly
Verse 1
Hey blue jay sitting up on my roof Long way from where you should be You spread your wings but aim for the ground
Pick yourself up just like me
Verse 2
Your bright coloured friends have long left town Saying catch up when you can
The cold wind that blows hard on your weak wings Warns the snow is coming again
Chorus
But learning to Fly Ain't no small thing
a chance we all have to take Learning to Fly
It's the real thing
And I'll watch over you
Verse 3
I know you're trapped here like me on the ground With wings that won't let you soar
all the pretty words They keep bringing you down Saying please don't ask for more
But you got a fire that burns way down deep
It won't let you give up the fight
And some day soon you're gonna find your strength And then I know that you can fly
Chorus Learning to Fly Ain't no small thing
a chance we have all to take Learning to Fly
It's the real thing
And I'll watch over you
Solo
Chorus Learning to Fly Ain't no small thing
It's a chance we have all to take Learning to Fly
It's the real thing

SINCE YOU'RE GONE AWAY
Verse 1
Way past sleeping I've been up all night

Now the lawman's coming after you
Since you're gone away
Since you're gone way

You'll be running like you know that you're about to be found
Since you're gone away
You'll keep on running till they lay you under six feet o' ground

All night heartin' and a big headache
Since you're gone away
Since you're gone away

You've been fighting like you know that you're about to go down
Since you've gone away
You'll keep on fighting till they lay you where you'll never be found

Sometimes I miss you staying up all night
Lines on the t.v. rolling out of sight
Since you're gone away
Since you're gone away

If ya got a brother
Got a home grown brother
Better watch it you'll be on your knees

Better watch out and listen to me

GIVE YOUR LOVE AWAY by Brett Wade & Glenda Rae
Verse 1
Beautiful girl so small
In the street light
You’re satin and lace
With laughing eyes
I know you can try
To feel you’re all right
As the sky falls
Down tonight
Pre-Chorus 1
Every Romeo
Promised he’d be true to you
They’ve come and gone
So you’re alone
Chorus
How do you mend a broken heart?
And make it beat again
How do you mend a broken heart?
Give your love away
Verse 2
A needle and thread
Push through to flesh and bone
And deeper fears
Left unsaid
Patience and steel
Build walls that
Crumbled down
So your heart can beat again
Pre-Chorus 2
But even Casanova
Couldn’t do a thing
He’s up and gone
So you’re alone
Bridge
Rainy days
And lonely night
Never seem to be
Very far from you
And sometimes I
Leave you wondering
If somehow I could begin
Chorus
How do you mend a broken heart?
And make it beat again
How do you mend a broken heart?
Give your love away
Solo
Pre-chorus 3
Every Romeo
Promised he’d be true to you
They’ve come and gone
So you’re alone
Chorus
How do you mend a broken heart?
And make it beat again
How do you mend a broken heart?
Give your love away
