Paying The Ultimate Price

(Will Ekwue)

A low self esteem man falls for the wrong woman in a desperate attempt to win her over. He is blinded by his affection for her which leads him into a world of hurt.

Chorus 
I feel like I’ve lost my mind 
Cos she told me that everything between us was fine 
Now I’m paying the ultimate price 
For being so stupid & unwise 
 
Verse 1 
Lacking confidence, I was never into my looks 
Cos my ugliness left me completely shook 
Until Mary came around looking for a fall guy 
And asked me a question which I couldn’t answer cos I was so shy 
She smiled as if to re-assure me 
That there was absolutely no need for me to worry 
Like a fool, I believed every word she said 
Not knowing that I was being totally played 
 
Chorus 
I feel like I’ve lost my mind 
Cos she told me that everything between us was fine 
Now I’m paying the ultimate price 
For being so stupid & unwise 
 
Verse 2 
Although I quickly found out she had a checkered history 
As far as I was concerned, we had instant chemistry 
We soon became tight like Bonnie & Clyde 
And I wanted her so badly to be my bride 
Even when she told me she was still married to her husband who was in prison 
I thought nothing of it & was willing to go against my religion 
Though I had no money, there wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do to keep her happy 
She knew this & convinced me to rob a bank which till today, still haunts me 
 
Chorus 
I feel like I’ve lost my mind 
Cos she told me that everything between us was fine 
Now I’m paying the ultimate price 
For being so stupid & unwise

Don't worry about me

By Howard Aronson

This is a song about people who used to worry about me all the time. I was so depressed for so many years, and getting high to self medicate. But now that I've gotten sober, I'm much more positive person, and I understand about acceptance, and giving up my will to always be right. And I just feel like people don't have to worry about me anymore, although I know they probably will.

Strangely Bright

By Nicole Krueger

A song about those transient and trivial earthly things, and how in the light of eternity, rather than growing "strangely dim" as the old hymn says, they grow "strangely bright," illuminated, even in their insignificance, by the great significance of their Creator, and by the hope of resurrection. The title is taken from the book of the same name by Joe Rigney. Inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:9-21 and a certain night by the edge of Lake Superior.
