YOU
© Copyright December 8, 2018, Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms
You...
You...
I don’t know what tomorrow brings but I could use some time
To clear my head and get these memories off my mind
Walked around this lonely town late at night
Counting houses dreaming about a whole new life
What I'd give again to have you by my side
Oh, honey I tried to hold onto
You...
Ooh...
You’re never coming back to what we had
You’re moving on, yeah
You’re just passing through
But I’m still in love with you
Hm...
I don’t know where yesterday has gone
It’s all a blur
Ever since you left
I try to numb this hurt
Stumbling around
Wandering out into the dark
Try to mend what you’ve left of this ol’ heart
What I’d give again to feel the sun shine through
Oh, I still need you
You...
You...
You’re never coming back to what we had
You’re moving on, yeah
You’re just passing through
But I’m still in love with you
Hm...
Ooh...
Ooh...
You...
You...
You...
You’re just passing through

PLAY THE MUSIC
© Copyright June 2020, Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms
It’s hard to change the mind of a small mind
Everybody just wants to be right
Thinking life is black and white
Just to find a reason to fight
It’s hard to understand when you don’t stand
In the shoes of another man
We’re all part of a bigger plan, yeah
It’s out of our hands
(Hm) Just play the music
(Hm) The world sure could use it
(Hm) Do it all in the name
The name of love
The name of love, yeah
Hm...
It’s hard to find peace if you don’t believe
Well sometimes you’ve got to take that leap
And find a way to find your faith again
It’s hard to be strong when you’re so low
So lost you can’t find your soul
Find yourself at the end of the rope
Barely holding onto hope
(Hm) Well just play the music
(Hm) The world sure could use it
(Hm) Do it all in the name
The name of love
The name of love
In the name of love
Yeah...

PETTY HEART
© Copyright April 28, 2020, Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms
I never cared to say a prayer in almost twenty years
But if I dare
I’ll declare that I’m still standing here
But it’s a sorry sight to see an angel’s broken wings
And to hear the lonely lullaby she sings
Oh
Oh, where do I go
Oh, where do I fall from here
Oh, my heart
Oh, my precious heart
Oh, my petty heart’s falling out of reach
Oh, my heart
Oh, my precious heart
Oh, my petty heart’s breaking at the seams
Oh
Oh, where do I go
Oh, where do I fall from here
Ooh, my heart
Hm...
Was losing faith a big mistake
Like my mother said
Years of shame with God to blame
A lifetime of regret
The way I see it now
It can only go two ways
You can be a hopeless know-it-all
Or cling onto blind faith
And the world will keep on spinning
And we’ll all just keep on singing
Oh
Oh, where do I go
Oh, where do I fall from here
Oh, my heart
Oh, my precious heart
Oh, my petty heart’s falling out of reach
Oh, my heart
Oh, my precious heart
Oh, my petty heart’s breaking at the seams
And oh
Oh, where do I go
Oh, where do I fall from here
Ooh, my heart
Hm...
Hm...
Oh, my heart
Oh, my precious heart
Oh, my petty heart’s falling out of reach
Oh
Oh, where do I go
Oh, where do I fall from here
Ooh my heart
Hm...

WHY
© Copyright May 11, 2020, Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms
Hm...
Yeah
Hm...
I’ve been waiting on pretty sunshine for so long
This rainy city making me feel so lost
I’m bending over backwards just to prove I’m not
But I just don’t know myself
Was trying to be someone else
Where did my confidence go?
Will I ever know?
Or will I keep asking
Why...
Why should anybody care
(Hm...)
Oh no, tell me
Why...
Why should anybody stare
At all of these thoughts I’ve been dreaming
These words I’ve been keeping inside
Oh, ‘cause I keep asking myself why
Why should anybody care
I can hear the voices of angels all around (Ooh...)
While my demons scream at me
“Be someone else!” (Ooh...)
Wish I could be somebody else
If I could just turn back time (Ooh...)
Oh, I’d claim what’s mine
Where did my self-respect go?
Will I ever know?
Or will I keep asking
Why...
Why should anybody care
(Hm...)
Oh no, tell me
Why...
Why should anybody stare
At all of these thoughts I’ve been dreaming
These words I’ve been keeping inside
Oh, ‘cause I keep asking myself why
Why should anybody care
Hm...
Well maybe I do it all in vain
Oh, I feign to feel love
‘Cause I can’t accept myself
And that’s where I need some help
Where did my self-respect go?
Guess I’ll never know
And I’ll keep asking
Why...
Why should anybody care
(Ooh...)
Oh no, tell me
Why...
Why should anybody stare
At all of these thoughts I’ve been dreaming
(These words) I’ve been keeping inside
Oh, ‘cause I keep asking myself why
Why should anybody care

HELLO MOON
© Copyright September 3, 2020, Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms
Hello moon
You’re looking mighty splendid this evening
Pleased to meet you under the sky
I know you
And the face that you’re making
Can you read how I feel inside?
(Ooh...) I’m so in love with somebody
Somebody I’ve loved for a very long time
(Ooh...) Oh, but my love doesn’t love me
So, that’s why I’m staring at you tonight
Hello stars
Oh, you’re so captivating
It’s a shame that the city lights are hiding you
On the day when you’re fading
Do you think you could lead my soul home, too?
(Ooh...) I’m so in love with somebody
Somebody I’ve loved for a very long time
(Ooh...) Oh, but my love doesn’t love me
So, that’s why I’m staring at you tonight
(Ooh...) Oh, how I long for the beauty
That stayed with me each night
Well, I like the moon
And I like the stars
But the one I love still has my heart

GLORY BOUND
Copyright December 28, 2020 Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms
Whenever I try, I try too hard
Whenever I fight, I leave with scars
Whatever I do, it’s never enough
Hmm, to win your trust (yeah)
I thought I could fly inside my dreams
Could be anything if I believed (If I believed)
My mama would pray I’d find my way
Ooh, before it’s too late (yeah)
As I’m lying here
Bringing down my worth
I know I should fight the fear
And face the truth that hurts
I let myself down (yeah, yeah)
No going back now (no, no, no)
Try to find forgiveness (ooh)
Carry on with my business
Do better than yesterday (oh Lord)
Find the strength to carry the weight
And turn myself around
Now, I’m glory bound
Hmm, yeah yeah... (la da da da)
Whatever I think, it’s probably wrong (hmm)
Whenever I speak, I sing a sad song (ooh)
However I feel, it’s all in my head
Hmm, and all my thoughts should all be second guessed (ooh)
As I’m lying here
Bringing down my worth
I know I should fight the fear
And face the truth that hurts
I let myself down (oh no)
No going back now (no, no, no)
Try to find forgiveness (oh please forgive me)
Carry on with my business (yeah)
Do better than yesterday (ooh)
Find the strength to carry the weight
And turn myself around
Now, I’m glory bound
Hmm, yeah yeah
I’m glory bound (yea yea yeah)
And as I’m lying here
I finally see my worth
And I’m going to fight the fear
And face the truth that hurts
I won’t let myself down
I’m not going back now
I’ll try to find forgiveness (ooh)
Carry on with my business
Do better than yesterday
Find the strength to carry the weight
And turn myself around
Now, I’m glory bound (ooh, yeah)
(Da da da...)
Yeah, I’m glory bound, yeah (da da, da...)
(Ooh) I’m glory bound, yeah, hm....

I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU
© Copyright July 2, 2020, Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms
Love is burning in my heart tonight
Can you see it in my eyes?
Love has burned me more than once before
Can you hear it when I cry?
And do you feel the fire when I am by your side
And if I love you right, will you be mine
Ooh, ‘cause baby
I’m in love with you
Listen to the rain pouring down
But I stay warm in your arms
‘Cause no one makes me feel at home like you
You see me beyond all my scars
Although I’m broken
You still make my soul shine
And when you go, please know
You’re on my mind
Ooh, ‘cause baby
I’m in love with you
Ooh, it’s true
I’m in love with you
Ooh, yeah, baby
I’m in love with you

VIVID
© Copyright August 20, 2020, Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms
Everything’s so vivid when the rain comes down
Not so very timid when the clouds come ‘round
But I can see my colours more clearly now
And I am soothed by the sound
Lately I’ve been triggered by such silly things
Now it’s time I figure I should mend my wings
‘Cause I’m so sick of hearing ‘bout how nobody wins
It’s ridiculous
Ooh, there’s fire in my eyes
I’m ready to shine
Oh, this fever in my mind is so vivid
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hmm...
Everyone’s distracted by how they feel
Trying to break a habit of what isn’t real
And look at where we end up on this spinning wheel
No, I won’t accept that deal
Ooh, there’s fire in my eyes
I’m ready to shine
Oh, this fever in my mind is so vivid
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Ooh... Oh, yeah...
Ooh, there’s fire in my eyes
I... I’m ready to shine
I’ve only got this one life
So, I’m gonna live it
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, there’s fire in my eyes
I’m ready to shine
Oh, this fever in my mind is so vivid
Yeah, yeah, yeah... (hmm)
So vivid...

RAINY DAY
© Copyright 2019, Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms
I might call up to complain
How nothing seems to go my way
But we both know it’s just a phase I’m in
I could pen down all my thoughts
But, instead, I’ll put it off
‘Cause right now, I’m content with no plans
Hmm... hmm...
Fill my coffee cup with tea
Reminisce on all I’ve seen
Growing up barefoot in Saskatchewan
Seasons change and memories fade
People come but rarely stay
And those that do are living off the land
Sometimes I feel like I’ve thrown it all away
Something so real never felt so far away
I understand, life will never be the same
It’s why I saved these memories
For this rainy day
Put my favourite record on
And quietly sing along
Pick up my guitar and play a song
I look through family photographs
Oh, how I now long for the past
Simple days and knowing right from wrong
Hmm... hmm...
Sometimes I feel like I’ve thrown it all away
Something so real never felt so far away
I understand, life will never be the same
It’s why I saved these memories
For this rainy day
Hmm... hmm...

THESE THINGS
© Copyright August 18, 2019, Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms
What a cold, cold way to feel
Time slows down
Nothing is real
Tragedy came knocking at your door
Down on your knees
You fall to the floor
Screaming, why
Oh, God, tell me why
These things always happen
When we least expect it
Sometimes in the madness
Life’s taken for granted
So tonight, rest your weary mind
It will just take time
That’s what they all say
But time, time will never heal
You learn to live, and you learn how to deal
When the memories come storming through your mind
Hold onto the light
And know that
These things always happen
When you least expect it
Sometimes in the sadness
Given a lesson
Slow down
Silence the sounds before you drown
The sun will rise again
So tonight, rest your weary mind
It will be alright
That’s what they all say
That’s life
You’ll survive
Hmm... hmm... hmm...
