2. More Than Expectations
Lyrics and Music by Charles Newman
Michael Newman: guitars
Charles Newman: drums
Guy Hufferd: bass
Quinn Pochekailo: vocals
People wonder around this world
With their eyes shut tight
Afraid to step out of the shadow
Afraid to step into the light
I want more than expectations
I want more than meets the eye
I want to set the world on fire
I want to touch some stars tonight
I want more
People sit inside their comfort zone
Inside looking out
Forgetting all the winners
Who were one time filled with doubt
I want more than expectations
I want more than just alright
I want to set the world on fire
I want to touch some stars tonight
I want more
If you think you’re beaten you are
If you think you’ll lose you will
Sometimes the one who wins
Is the one who knows he can
3. Always In Your Heart
Lyrics and Music by Michael Newman
Michael Newman: electric guitars and bass
Charles Newman: drums and percussion
Corey Verner: vocals
Hear the whistle blow, the rhythm of the tracks is music
It echoes soft and low, deep in the night
Watch a fallen star, from a beach on an island
A Newman family thing, on a summer night
Always in your heart
That’s where I’ll always be
When you start to slide just reach inside
‘Cause in your heart, there’s a part of me
Remember that mountain, it has a big cross on top of it
We would watch the sun, fall down into the sea
Remember that old train, we would climb all over it
You’d ride the trolley home, asleep in my arms
Now you see that distance doesn’t matter
It’s the confidence we share
To know that when you really need me
I’ll make sure that I’m there
So if you’re feelin’ blue, just reach inside for you know who
I am with you, whatever you do in this world
When the homework’s tough, and your day is really, really rough
I’m right beside you, you can count on me wherever you go
4. Space
Lyrics by Kristen Newman, Music by Charles Newman
Michael Newman: electric guitars

Outer space
Is the universe’s base
The bright, bright lights
Floating at high heights
Never knowing when
Space will ever end
Blackness everywhere
The stars are just there
Falling in a black hole
Freeing your soul
Whirling all around
Dropping down
Oh look, there’s an alien
His name is Boblealien
He comes from far away
Floating each and everyday

6. You’ve Come So Far
Lyrics and Music by Charles Newman
Michael Newman: guitars
Charles Newman: acoustic guitars, drums and percussion
Guy Hufferd: bass
Corey Verner: vocals
When you woke up today did you feel any different?
Well the world is still spinning and you’re another year older
Get in that fight; you know what’s right
You know scars that won’t heal
You’ve come so far in this life
You’ve come so far in this crazy, messed up world
Life gets tough and people get rough
A lesser soul would run away
But you’ve come so far
When you look all around you see you’re different
Just look at the fools; still searching for the answer
It’s in your sight; you know it’s right
You know salvation is here
No matter what they say to you
No matter what they do to you
They’ll never take your freedom to be who you are
You’re gonna go far
7. Lighthouse
Lyrics and Music by Michael Newman
Michael Newman: guitars
Charles Newman: drums and percussion
Guy Hufferd: bass
You are quite a view
Everyone else just disappears
When you walk into the room
I can see the sparks way over here
I need to hear your voice
Whisper something soft and low
I want to hold you close
When the moment’s right we both will know
You know a lighthouse guides us through a storm
I wanna be the man who keeps you safe and warm
When we get close I can feel the heat
Veronica, the river runs deep
Now you know how I feel
Please don’t deny that it’s real
I have the right point of view
I wanna be the one looking at you
Let’s get together soon
I can’t take much more of this
Late at night in my bedroom
I close my eyes and think about your kiss

11. When We Were Kings
Lyrics and Music by Michael Newman
Michael Newman: guitars and bass
Charles Newman: percussion
Times gone by, sometimes we all go back
How hard we try to keep it all intact
We laughed and cried a hundred times a day
We played for keeps until we couldn’t stay
Grab the bikes, hit the park
We’ll go until it’s dark
Don’t you know it’s an all or nothing thing
Sail the seas far away
We do it every day
We slay the beast then we change the scene
When we were kings
It’s getting dark, the baseball’s hard to see
But we don’t care, all this fun’s for free
My son and I, we relive my youth
How hard we try, try and touch the truth
12. He Calls Me Dad
Lyrics and Music by Michael Newman
Michael Newman: guitars
Charles Newman: drums and percussion
Guy Hufferd: bass
There’s a little guy I know quite well
With a big bright smile and a world to share
He says Dad
You know there’s nothing better
He says Dad
With a smile that lasts forever
He was swinging a bat and staring me down
When he hit the ball the big kids turned around
There’s nothing that I would not do
To keep you away from harm
My heart and soul reach out to you, my little one
I call him son
Turn off the TV and the video games
I hear the beach, it’s calling our names

15. Hearts Will Beat
Lyrics and Music by Michael Newman
Michael Newman: guitars
Charles Newman: drums and percussion
Guy Hufferd: bass
Deidre Close: vocals
Walking on a rainy street
The pools reflect underneath your feet
Your high heels echo in the morning air
You hurry home to face the day
With little sleep and less to say
But something’s put a spring in your step
You feel it in your heart and then
You know you’re hooked you can’t pretend
You just can’t shake the touch of his lips
A thing so right it can’t be wrong
He gives you strength to carry on
You hang on with a hope and a prayer
Hearts will beat and eyes will meet
We seek the passion to risk the pain
And when we touch I know this much
Hearts will beat like this again
Our children grow before our eyes
They live and learn and hope and try
We love them so much that it hurts
When Mom and Dad just can’t agree
There’s one thing that is clear to see
They learn way too much about life
Hearts will beat and eyes will meet
Hearts will be like this again
