YOU LIGHT THE FIRE Words and Music by Michael Cepress
Step by step, walk with me baby
Heels high off the ground
Leather fringe, satin, denim angel
Your style’s liftin’ me high
Cuz you light the fire inside of me
Yeah you light the fire
And it’s making me see
Let your hair fall across your shoulders
Brush it down to the ground
Tie your silk like a crown, baby,
You’re the king of my town
Cuz you light the fire inside of me
Yeah you light the fire
And it’s making me see
Earth, air, water, fire baby
Nature Boy of my dreams
Barefoot desert dancing' angel
Sunset lovin’ supreme
Cuz you light the fire inside of me
Yeah you light the fire
And it’s making me see
Cuz you light the fire inside of me
Yeah you light the fire
And it’s setting me free

IT'S NEVER THE END Words and Music by Michael Cepress
I never wanted to make you leave or see you cry
I only wanted to lift you up so you could feel yourself fly
I knew all along we’d always be lovers and brothers and friends
And as a new day is dawning
I hope its never the end
The first time that I looked in your eyes I could see stars fly
The greatest give that you bring to the world is your moonlight bright
As you’re waltzing through darkness
May you always find your light
And as the sun sets around us, I know that everything’s right
I knew you then
And I know you now
The great dangers of change
Couldn’t miss us somehow
There’s been mistakes
And there’s been some lies
But I’ll wash them off
With the morning sunrise
I never wanted to make you leave or see you cry
I only wanted to lift you up so you could feel yourself fly
I knew all along we’d always be lovers and brothers and friends
And as a new day is dawning
I hope its never the end

MAGIC BOOTS Words and Music by Michael Cepress
Magic boots of desert leather
How it feels when we’re together
The love you gave me could make diamonds out of stone
You’re my poet out of nowhere
With the profile of a prince
Your black curls waving through the white sands of my mind
These magic boots got me rolling on
Keep on rollin’, got to move along
Dreaming side by side and wandering far
Wearing thin with holes we patched up with stars
Sandy footprints draw a map of where we are
The silk of the sky and the moon up above
With the wind in your hair, your wings like a dove
Make me wonder how could we ever fly so high?
These magic boots got me rolling on
Keep on rollin’, got to move along
You can walk you can dance you can run away
You can speak you can sing what you have to say
Every step every move every turn you take
Making love brings you joy you can give away
Magic boots of faded leather
Say goodbye but stay together
Inside the fire that we helped each other light
Now we know the lands of wonder
Never fear the sound of thunder
Any storm can lead to a ride into the night
These magic boots got me rolling on
Keep on rollin’, got to move along

Be Yourself Again

BE YOURSELF AGAIN Words and music by Michael Cepress
Every night spent wondering if what I see is real
Every day distractions from the work to really feel
The truest love inside of you, a voice unfiltered true
Stepping back from all the things you thought you really knew
To feel yourself, and see yourself
To free yourself and heal yourself
To free yourself and be yourself again
Wrapped in dark and falling down your sweet glow fading low
The company of misery a song you’ve come to know
Every story they gave you proved to shout a lie
Not until you walked away to find your way to fly
And feel yourself, and see yourself
And free yourself and heal yourself
And free yourself to be yourself again
Be yourself again
Be yourself and step inside to finally see how nothing’s lost
Or floated off to far
Dreaming back to all those days as a boy with pleasure eyes
Never question the journey of each bright colorful lie
Every vision a drawing done in shades gold blue and red
The walk of love before you rolls for miles ahead
So feel yourself, and see yourself
Free yourself and heal yourself
So free yourself to be yourself again

GOLDEN BOYS OF SUMMER Words and Music by Michael Cepress
When you look inside your shadow
Seeing what you see
Turn around the mirror
Unlock the door and throw away the key
When you’re stepping into sunlight
Your shadow makes your ask
Why the light inside you trembles
Now stand up straight and never turn back
It’s my call to you, the golden boys of summer
Bring your sweetness through your romance voice of thunder
We are all for you, the old are getting younger now
Seek a deeper truth, the golden age of wonder
Do you set yourself outside
Where you need to see
Calling out the light
Of who you are
And how it’s gonna be
It’s my call to you, the golden boys of summer
Bring your sweetness through your romance voice of thunder
We are all for you, the old are getting younger now
Seek a deeper truth, the golden age of wonder
