Trouble
Lyrics by Jerrika Mighelle
I’ve been all alone
Nearly lifeless
But I can feel it
Shakin’ in my bones
A powerful release
From all the grieving
I can feel it
It is building
It’s sown what I’ve reaped
(chorus)
Trouble
Is coming
Trouble
Is running
Trouble
Is sliding
Right beside me
Too easy to be swept away
When you’re dangling
And looking for wings
I was looking for wings
My heart was once full
Even though I wouldn’t admit it
But now it’s too late
Now I’m swept away
(chorus)
Trouble
Is coming
Trouble
Is running
Trouble
Is sliding
Right besides me
Mama warned me of this day
She tried to keep me safe
But now she’s flown away
And I’ve lost all my grace
Mama warned me of this day
She tried to keep me safe
But I’ve always heard it's calling
And now it’s knocking
(chorus)
Trouble
Is coming
Trouble
Is running
Trouble
Is sliding
Right beside me
Trouble
Is knocking
Trouble
Keep walking
Trouble
Why don’t you
Just let me be

Banks On the River
Lyrics by Jerrika Mighelle
Banks on the river
You held my hand
So I wouldn’t shiver
Weightless on the ocean
Yeah, you had my back
When I was searching
Now
That you’re gone
How do I
Carry on
Oooo, oooo
Looking for a sign
Tells me you
Will be alright
Hoping that you knew
Before you left
How much I love you
I still do
I still do
Oooo, oooo
Sometimes
I forget
You’re alive
And not dead
Those times
I forget
Of the pain that came
When you left
Now
I’ll try to be
The true blue person
That you saw in me
Oooo, oooo
Oooo, oooo

Grief Song
Lyrics by Jerrika Mighelle
I never needed
Saving more
Than right now
Cause this life
That I’m living
Can’t be mine
No more
I’m broken
Broken
Just like time
Time is broken
It’s all a blur
So take me or leave me
I've got nowhere to go
These days in the city
I’ve never felt so low
I've lost my fire
Oh, i’ve lost my fire
Lost all desire
Lost in my head
I keep thinking
About the dead
She was my best friend
So sweet
And so sad
So take me or leave me
I’ve got nowhere to go
These days in the city
I’ve never felt so low
I’ve lost my fire
Oh, I’ve lost my fire
Lost all desire
Desire
I’ve lost my fire
I’ve lost my fire
Desire
I’ve lost my fire
I’ve lost my fire
I never needed
Saving more
Than right now

With or Without You
Lyrics by Jerrika Mighelle
Once in a great while
Something comes along that
Sweeps you off your feet
Turns your world around
When that’s in your grasp
Don’t dare let go cause
when you have found it
You’re going to be fine
With or without you
I’m moving on to
Push right on through
These walls i will move
No more excuses
I’m choosing life
So don’t you dare worry
I’m gonna be fine
This ancient route
is lost on modern times
But it’s always been here
It’s always been mine
This ancient route
Has always been mine
Now that I’ve found it
I’m going to be be fine

Oh Mama
Lyrics by Jerrika Mighelle
Mama oh mama
When you gonna be free
Oh Mama oh mama
Dancing with the trees
Secrets you’ve held tight
Tried to keep from me
Now I’ve absorbed them
Don’t know why I bleed
Mama oh mama
Why do I bleed
Oh Mama oh mama
Take your wounds from me
To you dear mama
I have been true
But the weight of this burden
Is breaking me in two
My unborn baby
Not yet conceived
Oh please help me save her
From this misery
Mama oh mama
Why do I bleed
Oh Mama oh mama
Take your wounds from me
Mama oh mama (4x)
Mama oh mama
Why do I bleed
Oh Mama oh mama
Take your wounds from me
Mama oh mama
When we gonna be free
Oh Mama oh mama
Dancing with the trees
Dancing were dancing
Dancing with the trees
Dancing were dancing
When we gonna be free

Brightest Star
Lyrics by Jerrika Mighelle
When will you come back
How will I know it’s you
Is there something I’m missing
Something I’ve yet to do
How do I reach you
Find the truth
Is there a map of lessons
That will lead me to you
When you left
You became everything
Oh the sun and the moon
Exploded with you
When you left
You became everything
Oh then why my dear love
Am I still missing you
All these things
That surround me now
They’re just things
They don’t matter now
All I want
Your arms to surround me now
And your soft voice
Easing my doubts
Do I
Feel you now
You’re the brightest star
Brighter now
Do I
Feel you now
You’re the brightest star
Brighter now
Ohohohoh
ohohoh
Do I
Feel you now
You’re the brightest star
Brighter now
ohohohoh
When you left
You became everything
Oh the sun and the moon
Exploded with you

One Night
Lyrics by Jerrika Mighelle
One night
I gave you my whole life
Saw it all shine
Right through your eyes
Night sky
Look at the bright side
We had one night to love
We had one night to love
One night (4x)
River
You carried us forward
Guiding us on
With weight of grace
And lightning
Look at your light beam
Striking the truth
Right at our feet
And maybe
This might be maybe
Our only chance
To share one night
And maybe
This might be maybe
Our only chance
To share one night
One night (8X)
