Verse
There is one thing that makes us strong
It’s knowing where we each belong
An ancient instinct for survival
Tribe against tribe, rival against rival

Chorus
I see our colors, I am not blind
Born of the sun, by nature designed
Not to divide, not to confine
I see our colors, I am not blind

Verse
We learned to sort the friend from foe
Just who would help or strike a blow
But instincts born from fear and fight
Do not hold up in modern light

Chorus
I see our colors, I am not blind
Born of the sun, by nature designed
Not to divide, not to confine
I see our colors, I am not blind

Bridge
Some say they never notice
The color of one’s skin
They think it makes them blameless
For everybody’s sin
I’ve lived in light, but see the darkness
And I refuse to look away

Chorus
I see our colors, I am not blind
Born of the sun, by nature designed
Not to divide, not to confine
I see our colors, I am not blind

Outro
If you claim you do not see
You turn away from history
Blindness holds no virtue here
It hides the pain and feeds the fear

We're Working Hard For You

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

Working Hard for You is a satirical rock anthem that channels the spirit of 60’s/70’s protest music while skewering modern political hypocrisy. With biting verses that trace corruption from past scandals to present power, the song builds toward a sarcastic, chant like chorus where Congress brags about how they are working hard for us while doing nothing but lining their pockets.

My Generation

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

This song is a generational anthem that traces the lives of Boomers through Gen Alpha, weaving together cultural milestones, scars, and resilience. Each verse captures the defining experiences of a generation—from civil rights marches and the fall of the Berlin Wall to 9/11, climate change, Covid, and digital saturation. The chorus binds them as chapters in a single book, while the Outro reflects on the burdens we inherit and the stories we pass down. It’s both a tribute and a reckoning, showing how every age carries its own scars yet remains part of one timeless tale.

Life's a Dark Comedy

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

These lyrics were inspired by my husband who, one morning a few months ago, said, “You should write a song about how life is a dark comedy.” He had suggested a few ideas before, but this one really struck me as different and interesting. So, I decided to take up the challenge. The lyrics weave together absurd theater and bittersweet humor, painting life as both performance and parody. Empty rooms, forgotten lines, and ironic applause capture the tension between tragedy and laughter, reminding us that even our flaws can become part of the show. At its heart, the song invites listeners to see themselves as players in the same comedy—sometimes stumbling, sometimes shining, but always part of the ensemble. It’s both a wink and a sigh, a reminder that the joke belongs to all of us. This song makes strong references to Shakespeare's Play "As You Like It", taking from a most memorable and often quoted soliloquy "The Seven Ages of Man" aka "All the World's a Stage".

King of the White House

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

This is just a silly song I felt like writing during these insane times when we, in the United States, are tottering between a wanna be monarch and complete economic collapse. I originally wrote this with the opening number in The Man of La Mancha in my head. Ultimately, these lyrics work well with a satirical, dark cabaret beat.

Take Everything I've Got But Don’t Go

By Stavroula Mitsea

This song dives into the kind of love that feels like walking on broken glass—where you’re terrified of losing someone, so you start shrinking yourself just to keep them close. It captures the late-night overthinking, the self-blame, the desperation to hold on. It’s raw, vulnerable, and brutally honest, the kind of song people cling to when they’re trying to love someone who keeps slipping away.
