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] 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

[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.

about

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.
