THE MIRRAGE ©Written by Michelle Ariane and Casey Sakima Ohhhh oohhh ohh ohhh (4x) VERSE I’m lost I don’t know where to go, I’ve been wandering for days Waiting for something to show, In this endless haze I remember wanting to be alone, before I walked away Now that oasis is gone, And I see CHORUS A mirage, A mirage, Ohhh A mirage, A mirage, Ohhh VERSE Surrounded by rivers of bliss, and covered in gold A paradise of piece, and wonders unfold fragments of what used to be, they have told me there is no place to go, and it’s only CHORUS A mirage, A mirage, Ohhh A mirage, A mirage, Ohhh BRIDGE Yea yea, How can I break through and find something new How can I break through And find away Fly a way, find a way From CHORUS The mirage, The mirage, Ohhh The mirage, The mirage, Ohhh

FEEL YOU NEAR © Michelle Ariane & Shinji Kaneko I VERSE 1 I So long been waiting for somebody to come along A shoulder I could cry on And who would make me smile I’ve been on the outside looking in At the dancing pairs of two Hoping that one day I would find you I PRECHORUS 1 I You’re so close but you couldn’t be farther away I CHORUS 1 I I feel you near As if you’re heart was next to mine and your hands held me tight And destiny, has promised you to me, but I’ll take it in my hands And find you on my own I VERSE 2 I I used to look up into the dark lit sky Count the stars of the night Hoping one day my sun will rise Life was, was not meant to be lived alone It’s a long journey to go on And it was meant for you and me   I PRECHORUS 2 I You’re so close, but you couldn’t be farther away. I CHORUS 12 I I feel you near As if you’re heart was next to mine and your hands held me tight And destiny, has promised you to me, but I’ll take it in my hands And find you on my own I BRIDGE I Life is too short to stand around, waiting for things to happen I’m gonna take a step, take a leap, jump, jump and fly Love is a risk, I wanna take out here with you I just need you right here, by my side I OUTRO CHORUS I I feel you near As if you’re heart was next to mine, your hands held me tight And destiny, has promised you to me, but I’ll take it in my hands Yeah I’ll take it in my hands – but I’ll take it in my hands And find you on my own

SILVER BULLET © Michelle Ariane &.Alfa Garcia Verse 1: Dropping bombs on people in the name of keeping peace I don’t know who to trust, or what I should believe If you see no evil, hear no evil, Sitting on your hands You best believe you’re just as guilty in the end Ohhh, ohhh How can you say you care about the children of the world When they’re staring down’ the barrel of your gun If you don’t want a conversation because arrogance is bliss There aint no doubt you’re just as guilty in the end Chorus I know they’re aint no silver bullet, (aint) no easy way I’ve seen this world enough to know There aint no change till we put ourselves aside You can’t do nothing from the sidelines So wont you bridge the great divide Verse 2: We were looking for a way to show the world just who we are The great big world just at our fingertips These days it seems like everyone is just a click away But we wear our perfect smile just like an iron gate (Together) We took one bite of that apple, baby there’s no going back It’s funny how convenience blurs the truth That we’re more than just a profile or a number to be used I wonder how much of ourselves we’re willing to loose Chorus (harmonies) I know they’re aint no silver bullet, (aint) no easy way I’ve seen this world enough to know There aint no change till we put ourselves aside You can’t do nothing from the sidelines So wont you bridge the great divide Bridge: Bridge the great divide Bridge the great divide Bridge the great divide (it might take a thousand miles) Chorus I know they’re aint no silver bullet, (aint) no easy way I’ve seen this world enough to know There aint no change till we put ourselves aside No they’re aint no silver bullet, (aint) no easy way I’ve seen this world enough to know There aint no change till we put ourselves aside You can’t do nothing from the sidelines So wont you bridge the great divide Ohhh, ohhh

HOME FOR MY HEART ©Written by Michelle Ariane & Chloë Agnew Lying in Bed watching the fan go round in circles My head is spinning with it, I can’t seem to stop it I know what’s coming But I’m not ready for change yet I thought I’d finally found my place I’ve been running all my life searching for somethin’ Something to help me find the answers I’ve been wanting And somehow I’ve ended up right back where I started I’m lost, I don’t know where to go Tell me where to find a home for my heart (4x) Tell me where to find a home for my heart Tell me where to find a home for my heart Tell me where to find a home for my heart I’m always told that I should try and trust my instincts When fear is taking over, I can’t tell the difference And everytime I leave, I find myself wondering My head, my heart who’s in control I wanna know how many times I have to get it wrong I fall in love and then I go and move on Oh i’m still waiting got the right thing to come along I can’t deny, it’s all I want Tell me where to find a home for my heart (4x) Tell me where to find a home for my heart Tell me where to find a home for my heart Tell me where to find a home for my heart Ohh Ohh Ohh I can’t contain it Ohh Ohh Ohh it’s hard to explain it Ohh Ohh Ohh I can’t contain it anymore Ohh Ohh Ohh Tell me where to find a home for my heart (4x) Tell me where to find a home for my heart Tell me where to find a home for my heart Tell me where to find a home for my heart

RIVERS OF ZURICH ©Written by Karen Dezelle & Michelle Ariane Verse 1: Deepest winter hits the town There’s two rivers One goes up the other down He sees the boys, with mischief on their faces Riding rafts out of ice, going to far of places He’s watching from the sidelines, wanting in Thinking he’s big enough, strong enough Knowing in the end Chorus Safety is an illusion that you cling to Staring into the abyss The power was all along within you If you know it’s right, don’t resist And even if you get lost You’ve got a story to tell life is an adventure if you live it well Verse 2: With stolen time, no one around He knows it’s now or never, never or now. He’s got his plans, with courage in his eyes He’s done standing by It’s his turn to tame the ice And he jumps and he goes Because he knows that Chorus Safety is an illusion that you cling to Staring into the abyss The power was all along within you If you know it’s right, don’t resist And even if you get lost You’ve got a story to tell life is an adventure if you live it well Bridge The ground beneath you Will deceive you Before you know it, you’re drowning It’s best to look for the light If you don’t know where to go It will bring you back to life, It will bring you home cause   Chorus Safety is an illusion that you cling to Staring into the abyss The power was all along within you If you know it’s right, don’t resist And even if you get lost You’ve got a story to tell life is an adventure, if you live it well life is and adventure, if you life it well yes life is an adventure if you live it well

FINALLY BE ME © Michelle Ariane & Jackie Desage Verse 1: Standing barefoot on the floor Distant memories come to pour Of broken promises scattered all aroun And my knees bring me back to the ground You and I were meant to be, (you said) Across the oceans and the seven seas Now you say, time has come and gone It was real – if you say so PreChorus You’re words were too strong And I believed you too long Chorus Now it’s time for me To walk out, leave the key And the tears in the room Knowing they were meant to be Close the door And finally be me Verse 2: Nothing new for me to say You’ve packed your things and gone away Now all that’s left are pictures on the wall They’re the last to fall PreChorus You’re words were too strong And I believed you too long Chorus Now it’s time for me To walk out, leave the key And the tears in the room Knowing they were meant to be Close the door And finally be me Bridge: Something I could get used to Far way from this bedroom Chorus Cause it’s time for me To walk out, leave the key And the tears in the room Knowing they were meant to be Close the door And finally be me

THE RAINBOW © Michelle Ariane &. Sheldon Botler 2017 You think that life is unkind Things are ebbing and flowing, coming and going, you feel left behind Don’t want to go outside, don’t wanna lose control of the things you know confided within the lines You should see The light inside your heart and set it free And you’ll see that your life is limitless It will take you wherever you wanna to go Tap your heels three times and dream away Those dreams will take you wherever you want to go, even over the rainbow, even over the rainbow Have the courage to try Take one step at a time it’s an uphill climb Keep your eyes beyond the Sky There is more than what’s in front of you What you’ll find will blow your mind and you can see The life inside your heart and set it free And you’ll see that your life is limitless It will take you wherever you wanna go Tap your heels three times and dream away These dreams will take you where ever you want to go, even over the rainbow, even over the rainbow And the rainbow is the beginning of your dreams, the beginning of your dreams, as limitless as it seems Let the rain show, cause both are meant to be For you to really see, what it’s meant to be free And you’ll see your life is limitless It will take you wherever you dare to go Tap your heels three times and dream away Those dreams will take wherever you want to go, even over the rainbow, even over the rainbow even over the rainbow, even over the rainbow even over the rainbow, even over the rainbow

about

This is an album filled with songs written in collaboration with songwriters from all over the world. Working with such a wide variety of people has shown me that we have more in common than we think, yet there’s a societal, racial, and political rift that sometimes feels insurmountable.

This album is meant to be a conversation starter. If we talk through our differences and put our judgements aside, we have the chance to make a real change. So let’s BRIDGE THE GREAT DIVIDE!
