[Refrain: Karina]
I'm tryna keep my faith
But I'm looking for more
Somewhere I can feel safe
And end my holy war
I'm tryna keep my faith
[Verse 1: Nabil]
We on an ultralight beam
We on an ultralight beam
This is a God dream
This is a God dream
This is everything
This is everything
Deliver us serenity
Deliver us peace
Deliver us loving
You know we need it
You know we need it
You know we need it
That's why I need you now, oh my
Pray for Houston
Pray for Houston
This is a God dream
This is a God dream
(a God dream)
[Hook: Nabil & Karina]
We on an ultralight beam
We on an ultralight beam
This is a God dream
This is a God dream
This is everything
[Refrain: Ryan & Steff]
I'm tryna keep my faith
But I'm looking for more
Somewhere I can feel safe
And end my holy war
I'm tryna keep my faith
[Verse 2: Karina]
So why send depression not blessings?
Why, oh why'd you do me wrong? (More)
You persecute the weak
Because it makes you feel so strong
(To save) Don't have much strength to fight
So I look to the light
(Lord) To make these wrongs turn right
Head up high, I look to the light
Hey, cause I know that you'll make everything alright
And I know that you'll take good care of your child
Oh, no longer am afraid of the night
Cause I, I look to the light
[Bridge: Ryan & Steff]
When they come for you, I will shield your name
I will field their questions, I will feel your pain
No one can judge
They don't, they don't know
They don't know
[Verse 3: Ryan]
Foot on the Devil's neck 'til it drifted Pangaea
The storms coming down my family's lands here
Treat the demon just like Pam
I mean I mess with your friends, but damn, Gina
I been this way since Arthur was anteater
Now they wanna hit me with the woo wap, the bam
Tryna snap photos of familia
My city look just like Sia, you can't see her
You can feel the lyrics, the spirit coming in braille
Tubman of the underground, come and follow the trail
We made Beyoncé, we're never going to hell
We're so damn strong, We never going to fail
We said let's do a damn good job with our streets
Houston right now is where the hearts meet
Let's make it so free and we'll ball so hard
That there ain't one gosh darn part you can't tweet
This is my part, nobody else speak
This is my part, nobody else speak
[Break: Karina & Steff]
This little light of mine
Glory be to God, yeah
[Verse 3, cont: Ryan]
I'mma make sure that they go where they can't go
If they don't wanna ride I'mma still give them raincoats
Know what God said when he made the first rainbow
Just throw this at the end if I'm too late for the intro
Ugh, I'm just having fun with it
You know homes're up in the wash
I laugh in my head
Cause you know that we gon build our city back like nothing was lost
Ugh, cause we'll flip the script on this thing like Wesley and Spike
You cannot mess with the light
Look how our city'll brighten the night
[Hook: Nabil & Karina]
We on an ultralight beam
We on an ultralight beam
This is a God dream
This is a God dream
This is everything
[Refrain: Karina]
I'm tryna keep my faith
But I'm looking for more
Somewhere I can feel safe
And end my holy war
I'm tryna keep my faith
[Outro/Prayer]
Loving God,
We lift up to you all our brothers and sisters affected by Hurricane Harvey
We ask that you will give them strength in this time of struggle
Hope in this time of despair
Faith to know that you are always with us
And every grace needed to rebuild their live
For you are our refuge and our strength and ever present help in distress
Amen.

Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just can't remember who to send it to.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way.
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun.
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around.
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come.
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
but I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again
Thought I'd see you
Thought I'd see you
Thought I'd see you
Thought I'd see you
Thought I'd see you on more time again

[Verse 1]
What I want, you've got
And it might be hard to handle
like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame, yeah yeah
yeah
What I've got's full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how, I can't explain,
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, well well you
You make my dreams come true
Well well you, oh yeah
You make my dreams come true
[Verse 2]
On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with a dreamer
I can laugh it in the face
Twist and shout my way out
And wrap yourself around me
'Cause I ain't the way you found me
And I'll never be the same, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Well 'cause you,
You make my dreams come true, oh yeah
Well well you, ooh ooh
You make my dreams come true, whoa yeah
[Bridge]
Well listen to this, owh
I'm down on the daydream
Oh that sleepwalk should be over by now
I know
[Chorus]
you make my dreams come true,
I've been waiting for, waiting for you girl,
You make my dreams come true
Make you make you make,
[Outro]
Well well well you
you make my dreams come true
you make my dreams come true
you make my dreams come true
you make my dreams
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I've been waiting for you girl

[Verse 1]
Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
and things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you
[Chorus]
That may be all I need
In darkness, he is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
[Verse 2]
Fingers trace your every outline aw yeah yeah
Paint a picture with my hands oh whoah
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather, still together when it ends
and things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you
[Chorus]
That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
[Bridge]
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning, rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing, someday it'll bring me home to you.
I may not know
[Chorus]
That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
[Outro]
Driving slow on Sunday morning
driving slow on Sunday morning
driving slow on Sunday morning,
I never want to leave

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It ain't warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know,
Darling I know I gotta leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

I can see you over there
Starring at your drink
Watchin’ that ice sink
All alone tonight
And chances are
You’re sittin’ here in this bar
‘Cause he ain’t gonna treat you right
Well, it’s probably not my place
But I’m gonna say it anyway
‘Cause you look like
You haven’t felt the fire
Had a little fun
Hadn’t had a smile in a little while
Baby
[Chorus]
Blue looks good on the sky
Looks good on that neon buzzin’ on the wall
But darling, it don’t match your eyes
I’m tellin’ you
You don’t need that guy
It’s so black and white
He’s stealin’ your thunder
Baby, blue ain’t your color
[Verse 2]
I’m not tryna
Be another just
Pick you up
Kinda guy
Tryna drink you up
Tryna take you home
But I just don’t understand
How another man
Can take your sun
And turn it ice cold
Well, I’ve had enough to drink
And it’s makin’
Me think that I just might
Tell you if I were a painter I wouldn’t change ya
I’d just paint you bright
Baby
[Chorus]
'Cause blue looks good on the sky
Looks good on that neon buzzin’ on the wall
But darling, it don’t match your eyes
I’m tellin’ you
You don’t need that guy
It’s so black and white
He’s stealin’ your thunder
Baby, blue ain’t your color
[Bridge]
No no no
It ain't your color baby
[Chorus]
Blue looks good on the sky
Looks good on that neon buzzin’ on the wall
But darling, it don’t match your eyes
I’m tellin’ you
You don’t need that guy
It’s so black and white
He’s stealin’ your thunder
Baby, blue ain’t your color
Blue ain't your color

[Intro]
ugh huh huh oh yeah
ugh huh huh oh yeah
ugh huh huh oh yeah
oh yeah oh yeah
[Verse 1]
Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today,
We touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from over the seas to the U. S. A.
New York, Los Angeles, oh, how I yearned for you
Well Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Let alone just to be at my home back in ol' St. Lou.
[Break -- Piano Solo]
[Verse 2]
Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of the Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, till I got back in the U. S. A.
Alright
[Break -- Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner café
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Rock and roll soda-pop rocking in the U.S.A.
All the way from Houston, Texas way in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, we got right here in the U.S.A.

[Verse 1: Corey Johnson]
Theres a snowstorm in Chicago
Gotta tremor shaking L.A.
Got a heatwave on the bayou
and a hurricane coming our way
[Chorus]
But as long as your by my side
Everything will be just fine
the worlds alright by me
uh huh
the worlds alright by me
uh huh
[Verse 2: Shania Johnson]
They got the blues down in Memphis
gotta a second line down in New Orleans
just dancing through the city
there ain’t no telling what you might see
[Chorus]
But as long as your by my side
everything will be just fine
the worlds alright by me
uh huh
the worlds alright by me
uh huh
you should know
there ain’t no place I’d rather be
and you should know
theres only one place for me
thats right here with you
right here with you
with you
[Verse 3: Bachelor Johnson]
Lets put the top down
and hit the highway
I wanna rock this town
and do it my way
doesn’t really matter
if you had a rough day
I know there’s something we can celebrate
[Chorus]
‘Cause as long as your by my side
everything will be just fine
the worlds alright by me
uh huh
the worlds alright by me
uh huh
You should know
there ain’t no place I’d rather be
and you should know
theres only one place for me
thats right here with you
right here with you
[Bridge]
It’s time to celebrate
across the nation
through everything we’re facing
I know that we can make it
It’s time to celebrate
across the nation
through everything we’re facing
I know that we can make it
[Chorus]
‘Cause as long as your by my side
everything will be just fine
the worlds alright by me

the worlds alright by me
uh huh
You should know
there ain’t no place I’d rather be
and you should know
theres only one place for me
thats right here with you

[Verse 1: Somantic]
Harvey just changed everything, I wonder how life without it would go
From the concrete who knew that a flower would grow
Lookin’ down from the top and its crowded below
My fifteen minutes started an hour ago
Truth over fame, you know I respect the blatant bits
When I hear them talking, I just don't know what to make of it
Hate is so familiar to me, I’m slowly embracing it
Doesn’t come natural, bear with me it could take a bit
Yeah, and my dreams are who I’m racing with
And you can see I’m pacing it so that I’m always chasing it
The H put me right here, that's who I get the paper with
I hope that my success never alters our relationship
Yeah, this city's something I would die for
August 29th, but we'll make it like July 4
I just hope that we inspire first
This time I’m really going off, fireworks
[Bridge: Somantic]
Today it begins
I missed them before but won't miss them again
I keep having the same dream
And I think that I just realized what it means.
[Chorus: Jr. Officials & Steff Neff]
All I see is fireworks
(All I see is fireworks)
Every night it's fireworks
(Every night it's fireworks)
All I see is fireworks
(All I see is fireworks)
Taking off like fireworks
(Taking off like fireworks)
[Verse 2: Somantic]
I’m just such a gentleman
You should give it up for me
Look at how I’m placing all my napkins and my cutlery
I could see abundant love I just thought it wasn't me
Who could've predicted lucky strike would have you stuck with me
Damn, I kept my wits about it luckily
What happened between us that night it always seems to trouble me
Now all of a sudden these gossip brags wanna cover me
And you making it seem like it happened that way because of me
But I was curious and I’ll never forget it baby
What an experience
You could've been the one but it wasn't that serious
Their was smoke in the air before that was me clearing it
That felt good, all and all I learned a lesson from it though
You never see it coming you just get to see it go
Yeah, I should've looked up in the sky at first
Now I can see it in her eyes
Fireworks
[Bridge: Somantic]
Today it begins
I missed them before but won't miss them again
I keep having the same dream
And I think that I just realized what it means.
[Chorus: Jr. Officials & Steff Neff]
All I see is fireworks
(All I see is fireworks)
Every night it's fireworks
(Every night it's fireworks)
All I see is fireworks
(All I see is fireworks)
Taking off like fireworks
(Taking off like fireworks)
[Verse 3: Somantic]
Everything the same but it feels different
My past called me up knowing that I still listen
And it's still got his foot out, guilt trippin’
It’s been years, though, I just learn to deal with it
For real, me and my realtor we built up a better rapport
Got my mother in a place with some better decor
She searched the entire city I let her explore
And now she’s sayin’ she’s more lonely than ever before
How many of our own homes have lasted?
I thought we were fine, I know I barely reacted
I’m flying back home for the heritage classic
Searching for that feeling, tell me where is the magic?
Let’s stay together ’til we’re ghosts
I want to witness love, I’ve never seen it close
Yeah, but I guess I gotta find it first, that’s why I’m really going off
Fireworks
[Bridge: Somantic]
Today it begins
I missed them before but won't miss them again
I keep having the same dream
And I think that I just realized what it means.
[Chorus: Jr. Officials & Steff Neff]
All I see is fireworks
(All I see is fireworks)
Every night it's fireworks
(Every night it's fireworks)
All I see is fireworks
(All I see is fireworks)
Taking off like fireworks
(Taking off like fireworks)
[Outro: Somantic]
So, a lot of families were hit really hard by this storm
and my family was one of them
It was devastating to have to leave my childhood home by boat, looking back at a home full of memories that will never be replaced
We stand strong when we stand together you know though,
Thank you all for your support. It means a lot.

Kitelines is primarily based in Houston, TX, and we wanted to give back to our community after the devastating storm took so much from so many people. We gathered local artists in order to unite our communities and hopefully raise some money to help those in need. All resources required to put this album together including production, recording, and distribution was handled by Kitelines, so there is no debt to pay back for this album. That way 100% of the profits can be donated to our charity of choice --
teamrubiconusa.org/donate/ . We chose this charity because they are not only a long-lasting, reputable organization, but because they have a spread out agenda to continue helping those in need for years to come. We also really support their values and the emphasis they put on hiring veterans that want to continue helping their communities.
You can individually donate here in addition to buying the album. Our pricing model is also pay what you want, over $7, and as stated previously, all of the money we raise through this site, as well as iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc. from this album will be donated to Team Rubicon.
Thank you for your support.
