“Goodbye to Number 8”

— Lyrics for Kylie Willow

Verse 1

Dad woke me up before sunrise,

said “Kid, today you’ll understand.”

Baltimore was glowing like a lantern in his hands.

We walked through Camden Yards,

the sky painted in Orioles orange and fate,

And he whispered like a prayer,

“This is the last time we’ll see Number 8.”

Pre‑Chorus

I didn’t know the weight of legends,

But I knew the weight of his shaking voice.

Heroes teach you how to stand tall,

But fathers teach you how to choose that choice.

Chorus

And we cried when the Iron Man took his final bow,

Two slow tears rolling like the rain coming down.

Dad’s hero became my hero, in that moment at the gate,

When baseball said goodbye… goodbye to Number 8.

Oh, I held his hand so tight that day,

As we said goodbye to Number 8.

Verse 2

He told me how Ripken showed the world what showing up can mean,

How 2,130 days became a promise kept, not just a streak.

The crowd rose like a single heartbeat,

A city standing tall and brave,

And Dad said, “Remember this,

Kylie… greatness isn’t something you chase — it’s something you give away.”

Pre‑Chorus

I watched his eyes shine like stadium lights,

Saw the boy he used to be.

And in that roar of Baltimore,

He passed his hero down to me.

Chorus

And we cried when the Iron Man took his final bow,

Two slow tears rolling like the rain coming down.

Dad’s hero became my hero, in that moment at the gate,

When baseball said goodbye… goodbye to Number 8.

Oh, I held his hand so tight that day,

As we said goodbye to Number 8.

Bridge

Years later when I’m lost, I hear that crowd again,

Hear Dad whisper, “Show up, kid… that’s how you win.”

And I swear I feel Camden Yards beneath my feet,

The echo of a legend, the echo of his heartbeat.

Final Chorus

Yeah, we cried when the Iron Man took his final bow,

But those tears became the fire that still guides me now.

’Cause the heroes we inherit shape the ones we create,

And I became who I am…

The day we said goodbye to Number 8.

Oh, Dad, I’m still holding your hand that day,

When we said goodbye…

Goodbye to Number 8.

'When The World Hears The Song'

Original songwriting

Lyrics:

Verse 1

There’s a man with a guitar on a quiet French road,

Singing soft to the wild ones nobody can hold.

And the wolves and the horses walk right to his side,

Like they’re hearing a truth they’ve been missing inside.

No words in between them, just a breath and a chord,

And the fear melts away like it’s never been born.

Makes you wonder if maybe we’ve had it all wrong —

Maybe peace isn’t spoken, maybe peace is a song.

Chorus

’Cause when the world hears the song,

Every heart beats along.

Doesn’t matter where you’re from,

We all know where we belong.

In the rhythm of love,

In the quiet of dawn,

We remember we’re one

When the world hears the song.

Verse 2

I’ve seen strangers turn gentle when a melody plays,

Seen the hardest of hearts start to soften and sway.

Every tear, every smile, every soul in the crowd

Finds a piece of themselves in the rise and the sound.

And the wars that we fight, all the lines that we draw,

Disappear for a moment when the music takes hold.

If a lion can listen, if a sparrow can trust,

Maybe someday the world will learn that from us.

Chorus

’Cause when the world hears the song,

Every heart beats along.

Doesn’t matter where you’re from,

We all know where we belong.

In the rhythm of love, In the quiet of dawn,

We remember we’re one

When the world hears the song.

Bridge

Maybe peace isn’t loud, maybe peace isn’t grand,

Maybe peace is a whisper in the palm of your hand.

Maybe all that we need is a voice and a chord —

A reminder of something we’ve forgotten before.

Final Chorus

When the world hears the song,

Every heart beats along.

And the walls that we build

Start to crumble and fall.

In the rhythm of love,

We remember we’re strong —

We remember we’re one

When the world hears the song.

“Glass Wings Over Liverpool” — Original Lyrics for Kylie Willow

Rock Raymond Productions Inc.

© Copyright rockraymondproductions.com All Rights Reserved.

CAPSHA RECORDS

Verse 1

I walked the streets where your shadow bends,

Past the ghosts of songs you never penned.

There’s a whisper caught in the Mersey tide,

Saying love is real if we stay wide‑eyed.

And the sky turns green like a painted truth,

While the world keeps spinning on your missing youth.

Pre‑Chorus

And I swear I hear you humming

Through the cracks in every dawn—

A melody becoming

All the places you’ve gone.

Chorus

Glass wings over Liverpool,

Shining where the broken heal.

You taught us how to dream out loud,

How to turn the pain we feel

Into something bright and beautiful

— A song the world can still believe.

And I’m singing it for you tonight,

So you can finally breathe.

Verse 2

There’s a boy with round‑frame glasses on,

Strumming chords of a half‑remembered song.

He says, “Tell the truth, even when it stings,”

And the rooftops answer back with silver rings.

I see peace signs drawn in the evening rain,

Like the world still trying to spell your name.

Pre‑Chorus

And the colors start to shimmer

Like a dream you left behind

— A message growing clearer

In the corners of my mind.

Chorus

Glass wings over Liverpool,

Shining where the broken heal.

You taught us how to dream out loud,

How to turn the pain we feel

Into something bright and beautiful

— A song the world can still believe.

And I’m singing it for you tonight,

So you can finally breathe.

Final Chorus (Soft, devastating)

Glass wings over Liverpool,

Carrying the light you gave.

And though the world keeps changing shape,

Your echo still behaves

John, I hear you in the quiet

— A truth I’m still learning to hold.

Like a heartbeat in the silence,

Like a prayer that never leaves.

I’m singing it for you tonight

So you can finally breathe.

LYRICS:

Take my hand
Take my hand

Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin
'Til the Sandman, he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (we're off to never-never land)
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (we're off to never-never land)

Something's wrong, shut the light, heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (take my hand)
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake (grain of sand)
Pray the Lord my soul to take

Hush, little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard (oh)
It's just the beasts under your bed (oh)
In your closet, in your head

Hush, little baby, don't say a word (oh)
And never mind that noise you heard (oh)
It's just the beasts under your bed (oh)
In your closet, in your head

Hush, little baby, don't say a word (oh)
And never mind that noise you heard (oh)
It's just the beasts under your bed (oh)
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (we're off to never-never land)
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh

"THE LIGHT"

'DISTURBED' COVER SONG

Songwriters: David Draiman / Mike Wengren / Dan Donegan / Kevin Churko

ROCK RAYMOND PRODUCTIONS INC.

CAPSHA RECORDS

LYRICS:

Like an unsung melody

The truth is waiting there for you to find it

It's not a blight, but a remedy

A clear reminder of how it began

Deep inside your memory

You turned away as you struggled to find it

You heard it call as you walked away

A voice of calm from within the silence

And for what seemed an eternity

You waited, hoping it would call out again

You heard the shadow beckoning

Then your fear seemed to keep you blinded

You held your guard as you walked away

When you think all (all) is forsaken

Listen to me now (all's not forsaken)

You need never feel broken again

Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

An unforgivable tragedy

The answer isn't where you think you'd find it

Prepare yourself for a reckoning

For when your world seems to crumble again

Don't be afraid, don't turn away

You're the one who can redefine it

Don't let hope become a memory

Let the shadow permeate your mind and

Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away

So that the door can be opened again

Within your darkest memories

Lies the answer if you dare to find it

Don't let hope become a memory

When you think all (all) is forsaken

Listen to me now (all's not forsaken)

You need never feel broken again

Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

Sickening, weakening

Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul

You need strengthening, toughening

It takes a bit of dark to rekindle the fire burning in you

Ignite the fire within you

When you think all (all) is forsaken

Listen to me now (all's not forsaken)

You need never feel broken again

Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

Don't ignore

Listen to me now (all's not forsaken)

You need never feel broken again

Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

LYRICS:

“Best Friend in the Mirror” — Kylie Willow

Verse 1

I’ve walked through rooms where the echoes stayed

Names on the walls slowly fade away

But in the quiet, when the lights grow thin

I hear a voice that pulls me back again

Pre‑Chorus

It whispers soft, “You’re stronger than you know”

A gentle truth only time can show

Chorus

I found my best friend in the mirror

The one who stayed when the world got colder

Held my heart when the nights grew heavier

Lifted me up on her own tired shoulders

I’m never truly on my own

I carry love I’ve always known

My best friend in the mirror

She’s been with me all along

Verse 2

I’ve lost some faces to the winds of change

Life rearranges what we can’t explain

But every heartbreak taught me how to stand

To hold my soul like it’s my closest friend

Pre‑Chorus

And now I see the truth I used to miss

Strength grows from the inside out like this

Chorus

I found my best friend in the mirror

The one who stayed when the world got colder

Held my heart when the nights grew heavier

Lifted me up on her own tired shoulders

I’m never truly on my own

I carry love I’ve always known

My best friend in the mirror

She’s been with me all along

Bridge

When the world forgets your name

And the sky forgets your light

You can still be your own flame

You can still be your own guide

Every tear becomes a seed

Growing who you’re meant to be

Final Chorus

I found my best friend in the mirror

The one who stayed when the world got colder

Held my heart when the nights grew heavier

Lifted me up on her own tired shoulders

I’m never walking life alone

I bloom from love I’ve always known

My best friend in the mirror

She’s been with me all along

"BORROWED LIGHT"

ROCK RAYMOND PRODUCTIONS

© Copyright rockraymondproductions.com All Rights Reserved.

CAPSHA RECORDS

LYRICS:

Verse 1

We rush through days like they’re guaranteed,

Counting every crack instead of what we need.

Chasing little storms that never really rain,

Missing all the sunsets while we’re keeping score of pain.

Pre‑Chorus

But the truth hits quiet, like a whisper in the dark —

Every heartbeat’s borrowed, every breath a spark.

Chorus

Life’s a borrowed light, burning fast, burning bright,

So why we wasting time on every tiny fight?

We don’t know the moment when the curtain’s coming down,

So dance a little louder, spin the whole world around.

Life’s a borrowed light — better shine it while we can.

Verse 2

We complain about the traffic, the weather, the noise,

Forgetting we’re alive — that’s the greatest of joys.

We’re lucky just to wake up, lucky just to feel,

Lucky for the moments that remind us we are real.

Pre‑Chorus

Every second’s fragile, every sunrise is a gift —

Hold it like a promise, let your heavy heart lift.

Chorus

Life’s a borrowed light, burning fast, burning bright,

So why we wasting time on every tiny fight?

We don’t know the moment when the curtain’s coming down,

So dance a little louder, spin the whole world around.

Life’s a borrowed light — better shine it while we can.

Bridge

No rewind, no replay, no second debut —

Just a wild little miracle we’re passing through.

So laugh more, love hard, let the small things slide —

We’re all just travelers on a temporary ride.

Final Chorus

Life’s a borrowed light, burning fast, burning bright,

Let’s stop counting shadows and step into the night.

We don’t know the moment when the story finds its end —

So live it like a blessing, live it like a friend.

Life’s a borrowed light — better shine it while we can.
