In Vermont I cut my teeth
on who i thought i was and who I dreamed I be
Ani on the radio or the indigo girls
driving south on rte 7 thinking watch out world
life happens and we do our best
sometimes running north south east and west
I’ve seent he GReat Pyramids and broken my won heart
now I’m driving on route 7 feeling a brand new start
CHORUS
Cause there are
C9 G
Mountains on My left and Mountains on the right
C9 G
The wind is in my hair and I’m feeling allright
D C9
Theres mountains on my left and mountains on my right
D C9 D G D C9 G D C9
I’m breathing in the love knowing now is my time
Pulled into Middlebury only seventeen
thought I knew everything, had such big dreams
well I’ve had ups and downs and everythign in between
now I’m driving on route 7 sitting back like a queen
CHORUS
D C9
Sometimes you don’t know where you’re going until you get there
D C9 G D C9 G D C9
So why not sit back and just Breath---------in the air
In Vermont I cut my teeth
on who i thought i was and who I dreamed I be
25 years later, a grown up girl
driving south on rte 7 thinking thank you world
thank you world
thank you world

Brick by Brick by Alicia Mathewson
Written for a WE CAN Dedication on Sept 27, 2014 in honor of the donors, staff and volunteers
Brick by brick
heart by heart
another woman’s got a brand new start
I know it’s not always easy, but it’s true
When we work together there’s so much more WE CAN do
Step by step
Call by call
another woman’s standing tall
I know it’s not always easy, but it’s true
When we work together there’s so much more WE CAN do
! WE CAN be the light when someone’s in the dark
! WE CAN be the match or we can be the spark
! WE CAN be the one who’s reaching out our hand
! WE CAN be the the one who holds it and understands
Brick by brick
soul by soul
another woman’s feeling whole
I know it’s not always easy, but it’s true
When we work together there’s so much more WE CAN do
WE CAN show the way on someone else’s path
WE CAN help her most just by making her laugh
WE CAN remind each other of who we truly are
When we work together WE CAN go so far
When we work together WE CAN go so far
Brick by brick
heart by heart
another woman’s got a brand new start
I know it’s not always easy, but it’s true
When we work together there’s so much more WE CAN do
When we work together there’s so much more WE CAN do
When we work together there’s so much more WE CAN do

Wise Innocence

Remember when you were young and you felt so free
in your backyard, your mothers garden or with the shells down by the sea
you were singing songs, playing with butterflies and dancing all around
don’t you know that what was lost can be found
Wise innocence flowing through my blood
I want some
Wise innoncence fueled with love
I want some
Wise innocence filling up my heart
I know that
Wise innocence is the best place, it’s the best place to start
We all get hurt, we all lose, we all watchh people fall away
we all have abody and are goign to die some day
so why not breath in, look up, psing out, play hard and have yoruself a ball
this precious life is short don’t make yourself small
and get some
Wise innocence flowing through my blood
I want some
Wise innoncence fueled with love
I want some
Wise innocence filling up my heart
I know that
Wise innocence is the best place, it’s the best place to start
Rise up like an eagle
and let yourself ses all that’s true
Trust what you see
it was always you
it was always you
you are a creative being with a unique vibration
we need your song, your eyes, your love, your explanation
don’t give up, don’t give in, don’t walk away
rise up now child and be who you are today
Wise innocence flowing through my blood
I want some
Wise innoncence fueled with love
I want some
Wise innocence filling up my heart
I know that
Wise innocence is the best place, it’s the best place to start
