Bruce Steers - Let me show you who I am
Verse 1:
Let me show you who I am
because you mean that much to me.
I gotta tell you how I understand
Hope you get the message with me.
Gotta show you myself
so you know me not someone else
Make no mistake, Ain't gonna be fake
because you mean that much to me.
Chorus:
I love you for what you are
be yourself and we'll go far
I like the things you do
Don't want to change you
I just wanna help you be you
Verse 2:
Let me show you what I love about you
because you mean that much to me.
I'll also tell you what I don't like too
If I don't want you to do that to me
I don't want to take the fight out of you
'Cause I am not your enemy
I just want you to be you
So we can both be free

The Mix up – Bruce Steers
Verse 1:
There’s been a mix up here
Hell no, that’s not me
There’s been a mix up here
Hell no, I won’t be
The monster that you want me to be
So you can feel great about all that hate
That’s conjured up in your minds
So you and your monsters feel just fine
Chorus:
Well there’s some kind of mix up here
I really think we ought to keep things clear
Try not to be confused
I know what’s me you know what’s you
Don’t get all mixed up here
know what’s love and know what’s fear
With all that lies, with all that’s true
I’ll still remember you
Verse 2:
There’s been a mix up here
Pathetic all that hypothetical
There’s been a mix up here
Me I feel that’s just not real
Things we do these things are true
Some for me and some for you
But so much we imagine to be
Is just not reality
(Repeat Chorus)

Air Life – Bruce Steers
Verse 1:
So many things we see and feel, Some of these things we know are real
So much we think that we can do, But only so much is true
We imagine much better you see it helps with our ability
To make it better one step at a time, We set our goals, we walk that line
Prelude:
Things never seem to be, As we imagine they should be
Well that’s the difference you see, between dreams and reality
Things never will quite be, As we imagine they could be
If our dreams are just too far from what’s real you see.
Chorus:
We’re playing air life again
We think we’re there but we’re not my friend
There’s all that goes on in our heads
But we gotta see what’s real instead
Playing air life again
We imagine it’s real but it’s just pretend
We better see what we really do
If we’ll ever have our dreams come true
Verse 2:
In my mind I play air drums, I’m sure I’m better than anyone I know
I never miss a beat I got lightning speed hands and feet
Put real drum sticks in my hands and right there’s where I understand
I really just can’t play the drums, maybe I could if I practice some.

Bruce Steers - We should talk...
Verse 1:
There's a lack of communication

It's causing aggravation
With all this lack of talking
between the lines we're walking
Left to our imagination
because lacking communication
Chorus:
So please don't run away
There's things we need to say
We've all got our part to play
To make this all okay
Verse 2:
It's this lack of communication
It's not just you and I It's every nation
places we should be talking

It’s Right There – Bruce Steers
Verse 1:
I’ve been that way, I’ve been this way
I’ve been every way searching for something like you,
Something that’s true.
I say what I say, you say what you say.
We say it every day for all the good it may do,
To help me and you.
Chorus:
It’s like I’m trying to find something I already have.
Been searching for so long, something ain’t right something’s wrong.
It all seems so out of reach in such faraway places
when we just can’t see, what’s right in front of our faces.
Verse 2:
When I’m trying to find, something of mine
I Search for sometime but it’s nowhere to be found.
I’ve searched all around.
I stop looking and then I see.
It’s right there in front of me.
I have to laugh in disbelief,
Is it the same for you?

I'm just living this life
I'm just trying to be nice for you
Up above the troubles and strife
So many good things do come true
So let's see what we can be
Now we know our minds are free
To live and learn those things we should
I know you can be that good?
And let's see what we can do
Me and everyone who's true
living life as it should be
Good for you and good for me
While you're working out what to be,
what to do, what to say and how to play
Don't forget just live
While you're working out what to change
To rearrange to play their games
you can't stay the same
But don't forget just live

Bruce Steers - Holding on to what's true
Verse 1:
I'm holding on to what loves me again
Letting go of all that's pretend
Seeing those who are truly a friend
To all of them my love I send
Chorus:
It doesn't hurt us so, to let all that's lying go
It wounds our heart, to see their part
They push us around, putting us down
Feels to them like higher ground
But it's not right at all
So it gives us it's all
They got the wrong kind of cause
So it loves mine and yours
Holding on to what's good for us
Holding on to angels we trust
I'm holding on to you
I'm holding on to what's true
Verse 2:
So hold on to all that loves you again
Let go of all that's pretend
See those who are truly a friend
Some of them are heaven sent.

You, Me and Us - Bruce Steers
1st verse:
I see you, think you’re kinda cool
And I know, I know you see me too
We just get along like words in a song
Keeping it right, don’t wanna go wrong
Chorus:
So do it, go through it, Don’t mean no one no harm
Just be true it’s for you and it’s also for me too
It’s just the way that they say it can make a better day
so it’s okay we’ll just have more of that our way
I get it, don’t sweat it, just let it shine through
There’s a whole lot of good things here for me and you
It’s better for all of us the big and the small of us
It’s better for me and it’s better for you
Cause I’m feeling it now
We’re all different but the same somehow
I don’t know about you
While in many other ways I do
Yeah I’m seeing it now
Really starting to work this out
You know what’s true
It is as much for me as it is for you
Verse 2:
Yeah I know you, Not so different in the things we do
Yeah you know me, we’re not so different it’s easy to see
We just get along, because we’re in this together
We’ll make peace not war and be that way forever.

Bruce Steers - 50 shades messed up
Verse 1:
You talk about love, like you don't get enough
It not right for you, cause you like it too rough
You toy with love like it's just a game
I feel sorry for you, it's such a shame
You've confused what heals you with what gives you pain
Chorus:
You're more than 50 shades messed up
You got love and hate all mixed up
You're more than 50 shades gone wrong
That's why you and true love just don't get along
You're more than 50 shades messed up
You try to blame it on fate or just pure bad luck
You're more than 50 shades gone wrong
That's why you and my love just don't get along
Verse 2:
I'm looking for that true love, but it's not how it is with you love
Cause when I love you true, it don't feel like it should do
A feeling so good gives us all it should
I'd love your love if only I could
But no matter how much I try to see your light
you're just not there with what's right
(repeat chorus x2)

Bruce Steers - Balanced
Verse 1:
We feel the seasons change, the temperature lowers and rises
It shouldn't be so strange, should really come with no surprises
It's just what wise is
By now you've had time to learn, you might freeze or burn
if you head to the extremes
You should feel wonderful, that you are not a fool
you see how it is as well as how it just seems
Chorus:
Balanced you are, you're in between
keeping it real and living a dream
the centre you are, right in the middle
Finding solutions to every riddle
Balanced you are, you don't fall down
when various forces push you around
you stay on course, you know what's true
Keeping your balance is what you do
Verse 2:
Overemotional, makes you cold or seem on fire
is not the comfort zone a place we all would most desire
without some middle ground we'd sink or float around
but right here we are
see a view from the other side, there in your sight
the centre you see is half as far
(repeat chorus x2)

Bruce Steers - You got love in you
Verse 1:
You know you can't hide it, you know you've tried it.
But it seems to show, wherever you go.
That you, you got love in you
So now you know, just let it flow.
Put a smile, on your face for a while.
Because you, you got love in you.
Chorus:
So what's it gonna be, how you gonna see
Who is worthy, of your energy?
Because you really care, you'd like to share
You should really dare, to put it there
You, you got love in you
You got the love in you, so what are you going to do?
You got the love in you, you know it's true.
Verse 2:
You know you glow, with the things you know.
And you give, it's just the way you live.
Yeah you, you got love in you.
You see what's right, you see my light.
It's just a matter of focus, don't need no hocus or pocus.
Because you, you got love in you.
(repeat chorus)

Bruce Steers - Don't push it all away
Verse 1:
I don't know how this should go.
I don't know who I should show.
These things I've come to know.
These things that helped me grow
I don't know just what to give to you
I don't know exactly what to do
So I'm just gonna do,
All I am able to
Chorus:
It might not be good enough for you
You're so hard to please it's true
Don't lose what's worth it, Nobody's perfect
To get what's right for you
Don't push it all away
Verse 2:
I don't know a thing about you
I don't think I really need to
To hope what's right for you
Is always there for you
It don't always go our way
You might need the rest to play
But what we still do
Is still pretty good
(Repeat chorus)

Bruce Steers - We're okay
Verse 1:
We're okay , good in all kinds of ways
We're okay, you can tell by what we say
We'll get by, we'll get low and we'll get high
But we're okay, we'll be what we must each day
Chorus:
To do what we must do
And be what we must be
To show what we must show
Those things that we all know
To love those things we love
So we might love enough
To be what we should be
And do what we should do
Verse 2:
It's okay, to be what we have to be
It's okay, It's better to be you than me
We'll be just fine, won't be a waste of time
We'll be okay, we'll be what we must each day.
(Repeat Chorus)
