Better things to do @Connie Kaldor We're through those two little words can bulldoze through a life There's someone new those three cut through like a ragged knife And there's no use spending your days fixing something that broken So you drag your heart out of the blaze but its still smokin' Not what you expected, Not what you deserve Not the straight and narrow But the mighty curve You found out just a little too late Some folks have a best before date Chorus You've got better things to do You've got better things to do You've got better things to do . Than cryin for love Sometimes youve got to get in the car fill it up and drive away Sometimes you've got to not listen to a single thing they say Sometime s you win Sometimes you lose It's your life You get to choose you don't know where you're goin but you don't care Cause anyplace is better than back there Chorus You've got to dream dream dream dream You've got to dream dream dream dream And any way You've got better things to do You've got better things to do You've got better things to do THan Cryin for love

There’ll comes a time when nobody needs you That’s when you need yourself To remember all the things you've forgotten the bounty that’s up on your shelf You are the one with more on the table More than the sum of your parts Needs come and go just like directions Sometimes in fits and in starts But there comes a time , there comes a time Time when it’s all up to you There’ll come a time when nobody loves you And that job is left up to you To love yourself no matter the timing And that love must last and be true Love that takes you through all of your living Love that helps you to stand Love that knows and is always forgiving Knows you’re doing the best that you can There’ll comes a time there’ll comes a time Time when Its all up to you There’ll come a time when nobody wants you That’s a hard place to be You’ve got to want to hold your head high As you're walking out leaving the key You’ve got to want the best for yourself And to bring it out every day You’ve got to want to make sure that the people around you feel the same way There’ll come a time, there’ll come a time Time when its all up to you .

Everyday Moments Connie Kaldor @Word of Mouth Music SOCAN A thousand meals, a thousand dishes how many Birthday Cakes? A thousand hugs a thousand kisses A thousand small mistakes A thousand wiping down the tables and pushing in the chairs A thousand baskets barely carried heavy up the stairs God knows how many washes and folds and picking ups and tucking ins and colds Chorus Not the things that make you money Or a household name. Not the kind of things that get you Ahead in the game They are the everyday moments, the ones that scatter But they’re the ones that matter A thousand “you can do its” A thousand “don't do thats A thousand take your boots off and don't forget your hats A thousand picking ups and dropping offs and cheering when they play A thousand getting back from work and getting groceries on the way God knows how many legos and blocks And playing catch and matching up socks CHORUS Bridge All the weary times,middle of the night bleary wiping tears from your eyes All the early morning alarms with their annoying ring All the moments that you watch them smile and you realise That you love them more than any song could ever sing CHORUS

Breathe 02:51
You’ve got to breathe, you’ve got to breathe You’ve got to let the good air in, then let it go You’ve got to breathe, you’ve got to breathe Breathe in deep and then let it go Breathe, you’ve got to breathe Every living thing beneath the sky Breathe, you’ve got to breathe From the day you’re born until the day you die You’ve got to breathe, you’ve got to breathe You’ve got to let the good air in, then let it go You’ve got to breathe, you’ve got to breathe Breathe in deep and then let it go Breathe, we’ve all got to breathe That’s the start of everything Breathe, we’ve all got to breathe Breathe in deep then start to sing We’ve got to breathe, we’ve got to breathe We’ve got to let the good air in, then let it go We’ve got to breathe, We’ve all got to breathe Breathe in deep then let it go Breath you better breath That’s the one thing that we share We’ve got to breath We’Ve all got to breath We’re all breathing in the same air We’ve got to breathe, we’ve got to breathe We’ve got to let the good air in, then let it go We’ve got to breathe, We’ve all got to breathe Breathe in deep then let it go

Four in the morning Connie Kaldor Make the lunches in the morning fill the tupperware with pie Get the kids off to school with a kiss goodby All day long I'm working God knows I try When its four in the morning I cry I don't want the kids to worry Not their fault this you and I Get the groceries, rent a movie Tell My friends I'm getting by Read the bedtime story, comfort with a lullaby when its four in the morning I cry Chorus That's when I miss you When my heart breaks away That's when the strong woman leaves me And the weak woman stays It's when the night is darkest not a star in the sky When its four in the morning I cry I put away the memories in the attic way up high. There's a taped up box of photographs labeled you and I With the kids the work and everything the time just fairly flies But when Its four in the morning I cry Chorus

THESE PRAIRIES BY CONNIE KALDOR These prairies hold my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace You can see it when I get here by the smile upon my face (the open sky, the kildeer cry have left their tender trace) These prairies hold my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace Things moved slower then I saw the bird foot traces on the trail how the wind would sometimes eddy saw the hawk upon the rail There were cousins and bale stacks to defend There was driving in a pickup down a road without a bend These prairies hold my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace You can see it when I get here by the smile upon my face the open sky, the kildeer cry have left their tender trace These prairies hold my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace The taste of water from a well drunk from a sealer jar And the days stretched out forever like the dust behind the car There was the prairie grass the wind my thoughts and me and the kind of stars that set a child’s imagination free These prairies hold my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace you can see it when I get here by the smile upon my face The open sky the kildeer cry its left a tender trace This prairie holds my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace with gopher holes, and cinnamon rolls and bow your head for grace This prairie holds my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace.

MISSING AND GONE 1 gone, that’s too many 5 gone, way too many 10 gone, way too many Too many missing and gone 20 gone, way too many 50 gone, way too many 100 gone, way too many Too many missing and gone Did they think you didn’t matter That you would not be missed They didn’t see the hearts shatter As they put you on that list They didn’t see them wondering What happened to you? Well the wind knows and the moon knows And some son of a bitch knows too 200 gone, way too many 500 gone, way too many 1000 gone, way too many Too many missing and gone Somewhere there’s a desk with a pile And a file with your face Held back by budget cuts or the will to act or race Somewhere’s a detective that knows someone’s got a clue Wondering why the story’s on the back page When another case comes through 1200 gone, way too many 1500, way too many 2000 gone, way too many Too many missing and gone How many candles up on the hill Year after year, How many people out there on the streets That are not as they appear Are the ones who did this Thinking justice will not come I hope they wake up screaming after dreaming of the sound of your mother’s drum 2001, way too many 2002, way too many 2003, way too many Too many missing and gone 2004, way too many 2005, way too many When will it stop cause it’s way too many? Too many missing and gone
8.
ONE OF A KIND You are one of a kind One of a kind, that’s you You don’t move through this world Like most other people do You think you’re ordinary You couldn’t be more wrong You’re kind when others are ruthless When others are weak you’re strong You are one of a kind Precious beyond compare Those times when I’ve needed you most Loe and behold you’re there You think you’re nothing special You are mistaken my friend You give when others are greedy Who others throw out you mend You say there’s lots of good people out there I know that it’s true I wouldn’t trade all of them For a friend like you There may be lots that are shiny But no one replaces your style You are one of a kind And I’ve known that for a while.

Judge Me 03:37
JUDGE ME If you were to judge me , Judge my by my heart The ones it’s loved and the ones that tore it apart If you were to judge me, that’s the place I would start If you were to judge me, Judge me by my heart If you were to judge me, Judge me by my hands What they’ve done who they cared for what they played in the band All the scars and the lines that they drew in the sand If you were to judge me Judge me by my hands Cause time gets slower at the speed of light And beauty’s looking for its own beholder Someone’s always waiting to put you in your place It doesn’t matter if you’re younger or you’re older But if you were to judge me, Judge me by my friends The ones I care for, the ones i will defend The ones that keep me strong ,the ones that helped me to bend If you were to judge me, Judge me by my friends If you were to judge me ,Please come take my hand The moment people touch they begin to understand That where we started out, May not be where we land If you were to judge me please come take my hand Cause you can judge someone by their bank accounts you can judge someone by their skin you can judge someone by all the trouble they’ve been in You can judge someone by their looks you can judge someone by their clothes Some will judge you by religion Heaven only knows. But if you were to Judge me, Judge me by my song The ones I make up, the ones I sing along The ones that keep me dancing when everything goes wrong Music is the place where I feel like I belong If you were to Judge me, Judge me by my song. If you were to judge me, If you were to judge me …….

Travelling 04:08
Travelling Connie Kaldor Some day I'm gonna go Traveling pack my bags and I’m gone Some day I'm gonna go Traveling pack my bags and I’m gone The wind it sometimes calls me When it does my head becomes a sail One of these days its gonna catch and you’ll get that postcard in the mail. I’ll climb every mountain that’s before me I’ll swim if the rivers not too wide I’ll wait by a road that calls me And be gone when there's something I can ride Chorus I want to see where the sun goes when it sets And where it’s been when it rises I don’t want to have regrets I’d rather have surprises Chorus The birds come from somewhere every spring And where do they go every fall I’m going to follow them some September And don't expect me back at all Bridge Somewhere out there's is a coffee for me on a plaza I will find that place by and by I want to see who I think that I am when I get there Where the stars look different in the sky . Chorus
