Information/Write-up

Dangerous Dance
M. Fredette & John Knill

Sitting by the water’s edge in a field of gold
Thinking about the man she used to hold
Her heart’s beating faster but it’s filled with pain
Tears wash her face like a west coast rain

He was forbidden fruit she knew this well
But she had fallen, fallen under his spell
There is no other who can take the blame
She was a moth forever drawn to the flame

How could something so wrong feel so right
She’d never forget that magical night
They danced with passion the dance of chance
It was a dangerous dance
A dangerous dance

Watching the mountains as they swallow the sun
She knows in her soul that they will never be one
Deeply aware of what she should have done
When she first saw him she should have run

Break These Chains
M. Fredette & J. Knill

I feel I’m moving in the wrong direction
Chasing momentary pleasures
I no longer see the big attraction
Of those temporary treasures

I thought these things could make me happy
I thought the answer was having more
My belly’s full and yet I feel so empty
And there’s a burning at my core

Wish I could see with my soul
I feel with my heart
I’d reach out my
To taste the gift of love

Gotta break these chains
To reach the other side
There’s got to be a
A sea knows no bound

I’ve been a long time coming
All your warnings I ignored
Down the road so long and winding
Down the road I go to you

Now I see with my soul I feel with my heart
I can reach out my
To taste the gift of love

I can see with soul
I feel with my heart
I can reach out my
I taste the gift of love

All You Ever Wanted
M. Fredette & John Knill

I can see there’s been a change in you
You’ve lost your way for a while
Now you’re back on track
And you’ve been missing me all the while

Your attention was caught by the
You watched the show from afar
Now you see I’m real
You don’t need to be
The pain is stronger

You feel betrayed and hurt and a little jaded
Good times is now a memory that’s faded
The pain is stronger the second time around

All you ever needed was his touch
All you ever wanted was his love
Another door will open
Another page will turn
This is one bridge
I think you should burn
I believe your love will be returned
It’s all you ever wanted

Feeling Good Again (Instrumental)
M. Fredette & John Knill

“Time Heals”

Unconditional Love
M. Fredette & J. Knill

In the world of souls - a little one
Chooses his mother and father
The moment arrives I’m touched by the sun
And I feel like I’ve known you forever
And I feel like I’ve known you forever

The world is amazing seen through your eyes
And everything feels so right
I feel so connected my love amplifies
I’m completely surrounded by the light
I’m completely surrounded by the light

You’ve filled my whole being with love
I’ve been given a gift from above
I’ve come to understand the meaning of
Unconditional love, unconditional love

I want you to set the world on fire
And do what your heart will desire
My true devotion is to protect you
And to help make your dreams come true
And to help make your dreams come true

It’s Over
M. Fredette & J. Knill

He holds her letter with a trembling hand
As he tries so very hard to understand
A shadow crosses his heart
Now he’s certain they’ll be forever apart

His body is ice but he’s breathing fire
Where is the woman who can still his desire
The promise was never made good
And the dream didn’t turn out like it should

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over
In his soul he knows he tried
It’s over, it’s over
There’s nothing left inside

His world is broken he’s alone
In a house that’s no longer a home
He will find the eagle’s wing
His time will come to soar and sing

They say you must suffer in order to grow
Roll with the punches, go with the flow
The sun will rise again and dry away the tears
There will be no tomorrow to overcome the fears

Shaman Rises (Instrumental)
M. Fredette & J. Knill

“A North American shaman, disgusted by the
clear cuts surrounding him and the destruction
of the salmon spawning grounds, holds a conversation
with mother nature and decides to make a stand.”

Calmer Waters
M. Fredette & J. Knill

You and I are so very different
Stormy seas led to compromise
So I’m giving up and go
Just to see the sunshine in your eyes

We cannot love if there’s resistance
We need to walk on common ground
Cause I’m from Mars and you’re from Venus
And I pray nothing will come between us

Let us both cross this rushing river
Where the water reaches wide
Can be swept by the waters
And be swept aside

The shortest distance between you and me
Can be measured by a kiss

Life wasn’t meant to be struggle
To toil and sweat and slave away
Let me raise my voice and play
Let me raise my voice and play

Let me raise my voice and play
Let me raise my voice and play
Let me raise my voice and play
And bathe the light

Good Morning Sun (Instrumental)

“A coffee in your hand - the sun is breaking the horizon - the sound of peace - inner peace”
