Evidently True
Words and music by David Celia ©2004 SOCAN
Look at this thing
I can’t believe that it’s working
I can’t believe that it’s moving…evidently true.
Look at me sing
I can’t believe that I’m standing here
Overcoming any possible fear….
Right in front of you…OOOOOOOOOOOO
I can’t believe that there’s a drive thru and
I’m sitting in my car
I’m gonna order up some coffee
My arms and legs don’t work apparently
The world has come so far
You’re honking your horn
‘Cause supposedly I cut you off
I didn’t mean to cut you off
Because I’ve felt that way before…OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Do, do do do doooo…..do do do do dooooooooooo
Do, do do do doooo…..do do do do dooooooooooo
Look at this world
I can’t believe that it’s still happening
They drill it in our heads that it is crappening
We must be doin’ something right
It’s always been the same
The sunshine feeds the world with all its light
The people strive to grow with all their might
Together we’ll be new….OOOOOOOOOOOO
Do, do do do doooo…..do do do do dooooooooooo
Do, do do do doooo…..do do do do dooooooooooo
Do, do do do doooo…..do do do do dooooooooooo
Do, do do do doooo…..do do do do dooooooooooo
I see it in your eyes
That you won’t give it up without a fight
It’s this desire that makes it all so right
Evidently true ...OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Best Thing Ever
Word and music by David Celia
Forget about the pain
Don’t wanna see you again
I say it over to myself but here we go again
What is it about you?
It doesn’t seem we’re through
I’m finding things about me that I never knew
CHORUS:
There’s a feeling I don’t get and I just don’t know what to say
Those times I hope I close my mouth, I’m probably better off that way
And I get so down about it just until I wake to see
Uh huh, you’re the best thing ever happened to me
We carry on this way
Forever and a day
For such a long, long time, We’ll be here to stay
(CHORUS)
(SOLO)
There’s a feeling I don’t get and I just don’t know what to say
Those times I hope I close my mouth, I’m probably better off that way
And I get so down about it just until I hear you say
Uh huh, you’re the best thing ever happened to me
Best thing ever happened to me
Yeah, you’re the best thing ever happened to me

Infinity
©David Celia
I was born into this land
And a man named doctor took me by the hand
He said Mama, you’re boy is doing well
Don’t get him tangled up in this old hell
Ya, this world can cast a nasty spell
All the headlines that you read will tell
That your baby’s hittin’ hard roads up ahead
Don’t be a victim to the fears they spread
--
If the mountain that you’re climbing is too steep
Or the waters all around you too deep
Pause and breathe but baby don’t you sleep
The illusion’s much too heavy for you too keep
Chorus:
Yeah, Life gets tough sometimes, there is no doubt
And your body may be bruised from every bout(oooooooo)
I urge you to stay on your path, don’t be subjected to the math
It all adds up to nothing in the end
--
One and one, plus two will equal four
Still they tell you that you’re going to need some more
But I get by on being poor
Or whatever it is they call not needing more
(Harmonica solo)
Now my body’s startin’ to melt from all this heat
And my senses are beginning to deplete
I close my eyes and accept the defeat
But tomorrow I’ll be standin’ on my feet
Chorus:
Yeah, Life gets tough sometimes, there is no doubt
And your body may be bruised from every bout(oooooooo)
I urge you to stay on your path, don’t be subjected to the math
It all adds up to nothing in the end

Cactus
By David Celia
He's a Bryk
He'll help you any way he can
When you ask them then they'll tell you he's the man
He's a prick
'Cause if you ask him his opinion
He'll be honest
Even when you never asked for it at all
And on the journey to your dreams
You will pass him like a cactus in the desert
And you'll know him by the harshness in his themes
You can take it any way you like
But if you don't like him you'll spend your life in the desert
Drinking water from his arms
It's not a trick
It's something all of us encounter
When you've found 'er
You'll be thankful for his prick
'Cause he's a Bryk
He'll help you any way he can
When you ask them
Then they'll tell you he's the man

This Isn’t Here
Words and music by David Celia ©2004
This World isn’t here, believe me.
This World isn’t here.
This World isn’t here, believe me.
I can see it too.
This fear isn’t here,
I close my eyes and it all comes clear
This fear isn’t here, believe me.
I can see it too.
Though it’s easy to deny it.
It feels better to admit.
You’re perfect and a perfect world ain’t here.
Don’t think as it as an escape,
But rather a return.
In a song, you can find out where you belong.
This song isn’t here, believe me.
This song isn’t here
This song isn’t here, believe me.
I can hear it too.

Speak To Me
By David Celia
I called you up this evening
To say something from my heart
And when we made it to the hard part
We seemed to have got disconnected
The lines don't seem too clear
'Cause everytime I feel I'm getting near
I wonder if you know where I am going?
Are you coming with me or are you staying here?
The days fly past like tomorrow
We think about it though it isn't here
I just wanna be lying there beside you
Talking 'bout our problems 'til it's clear
I want someone that I can talk to
Who can tell me what it is that makes them bleed
'Cause the wounds keep coming in with each day
But they all go away when i hear you say

SHE’S A WATERFALL
© 2000 David Celia
I know times have been tough on you and me
And the show biz wool has made it hard to see
Hard to see
Get it out and make it on the street
Is the way of living in the city
In the city
I’ve even seen some compromise their dignity
It is such a pity
(1/2 chorus)
I believe you’re an answer to my call
Coming down like a cool fresh waterfall
There’s a man on the TV telling me
If I buy his stuff that I will be free
I will be free
With so many characters shady
I’m lucky to have you as my lady
You’re my lady
You don’t know how much you make me happy
In the times that are crappy
I believe you’re an answer to my call
Coming down like a cool fresh waterfall
Never judging anyone at all
Doesn’t matter if it’s big or small
Solo
You don’t know how much you make me happy
I’m a slap happy pappy
(Repeat chorus 2x)
I believe you’re an answer to my call
Coming down like a cool fresh waterfall
Never judging anyone at all
Doesn’t matter if it’s big or small

NYC
By David Celia
The city speaks to me
It leads me through the streets
So many people there to meet
Hidden and insecrue
Some people skillfully demure
But inside, not real sure how I feel
I'm thinking about you everyday
Sometimes in another way
There isn't time enough in a day to say
The things I plan to say
On some future day
If I ever find the time
Too busy meeting you
And someone else that's new
It's must be true because it rhymes
I'm thinking about you everyday
Sometimes in another way
There isn't time enough in a day to say
I just want to hold you close and send the lovin' through my skin
I'll feel yours and we can close our eyes
Feel like one big sky

Plain To See
By David Celia ©2006 SOCAN
Sadness in the sky
Mirroring the peoples feelings
And like our eyes it starts to cry
Weeping for the business men
Sleeping in the illusion
Stock may rise but then it always starts to fall
Where do we go from here?
So when we come from fear
It can cost endless years
To get in touch with who we really are
It’s plain to see
just you and me
I don’t know your name
But I know you play the game
‘cause it goes in circles and we’re all the same
With perfect time
We do align
It’s plain to see
just you and me

Tear Duct
By David Celia
Tear Duct, I found you one day
I thought we outgrew you after infancy
Tear duct, above my lower eyelid
Mistook you for a blemish in my highschool days
Like a ringer on the telephone
You signal a call
You are the messenger of sadness or incredible awe
Won't you pour some of your salt water essence
Down my face today
'Cause I'm missin' what it feels like to be alive
Tear drop, running down from my eye
Didn't see it coming didn't have to try
Tear drop. And when I'm finished my cry
The feeling is gone and I'm wondering why
So many people talk and talk
About what they know
Sometimes they even say "That's the way things go"
But I know that when they're all alone
With their tear ducts running wild
They're thinking about how little they really know

Brothers
By David Celia
When we were young
Had so much fun
Played hide and seek
I hoped you'd come out
We told outselves
When we grew up we'd never part
The hockey games
The calling names
The cigarettes
Dad never knew
Until we grew
I thought I knew what to do
I was hoping you knew
The world has changed
So much since we were smaller
Or could it be, our secret worlds grew larger?
And maybe now, if you listen closely
You might hear the sound of someone
Who needs you more than you know
It calls your name
Out of the blue
And temps you to
Try something new
May not be cool
But in your heartd there plays no fool
