Adelaide Will Always Be My Home (R. Hood/C, Stewart) We got hills to the east And beaches to the west Suburbs in the north and south as well We got everybody covered From Elizabeth to Hackham And also from Burnside to Glenelg Adelaide will always be my home Adelaide will always be my home We love our sport in Adelaide We always like to win To the point of being fanatical they say Between the Crows, the Power, the 36ers The Reds and the Redbacks too And for the Adelaide Cup we even have a holiday Adelaide will always be my home Adelaide will always be my home In Summer it gets really hot And Winter it gets cold In Spring we have the blossoms In Autumn the leaves are gold It doesn’t matter where I go Across the country or abroad My home town of Adelaide Is the place where I look forward To come home to This town is famous far and wide And all around the world For its music and its creativity We got the Adelaide Fringe, the Festival Plus, our local music scene It grips the rest of the nation in jealousy Adelaide will always be my home Adelaide will always be my home Adelaide will always be my home Adelaide will always be my home

Just Be Yourself (R. Hood/C. Stewart) If it feels wrong, don't do it Say exactly what you mean Coz you don’t get a prize for being nice If what’s required is honesty You don’t need to be a people pleaser Just so you can get along Coz if people can’t see who you’re meant to be Then at the end of the day they are wrong Just go and be yourself Coz everybody else is taken You know there’s nobody else You don’t need an explanation Always trust your intuition It’s a handy skill to learn Coz if you ever find out what is causing your doubts You can escape it and not get hurt Always be kind to others And in return they will be kind to you Coz a smile is free between you and me This is the undeniable truth Just go and be yourself Coz everybody else is taken You know there’s nobody else You don’t need an explanation Never speak badly about yourself And never give up on your dreams Don't be afraid to say yes or no to a world That is crazier than it seems Keep the good things close to your heart now And let go of what you can't control And stay away from toxic people Their negativity will swallow you whole Just go and be yourself Coz everybody else is taken You know there’s nobody else You don’t need an explanation

I Look Towards The Stars (R. Hood/C. Stewart) I always find that late at night Is when I miss you the most But when I go outside I somehow Feel so much closer to you But when I’m missing you All I need to do is look towards the stars Coz when I’m feeling blue All I need to do is look towards the stars You are always on my mind From the time I rise until I sleep As my hands cradle your photograph The memories come flooding back to me But when I’m missing you All I need to do is look towards the stars Coz when I’m feeling blue All I need to do is look towards the stars You know I love you to the moon and back You know my love will never die But when the night disappears in the morning That’s my time for me to say goodbye But when I’m missing you All I need to do is look towards the stars Coz when I’m feeling blue All I need to do is look towards the stars But when I’m missing you All I need to do is look towards the stars

Little Sister (Song For Barbie) (R. Hood/C. Stewart) Little sister, there's nothing better Then to have you in my life You and I, we've grown up together We've seen a lot in our time You've made me laugh and you've made me cry Plus, all emotions in-between My little sister, I couldn't live without you But nothing lasts forever and that is reality...

Molly And Me 03:12
Molly And Me (R. Hood/C. Stewart) I’m cruising down Highway one In my '57 Customline With my most favourite guitar Right there by my side It’s a Fender Strat with Aboriginal art Painted on her body we will never part Coz it’s plain to see, Molly and Me Molly’s the name of my favourite guitar And she is the love of my life If Molly was a real woman I wouldn’t hesitate to make her my wife From the morning light to the dark of night The music we make it sounds so right Coz it’s plain to see, Molly and Me Making music in the heart of the city And out in the country too She is always with me wherever I go Just being with her lightens my mood I will never get tired of her beautiful tone With Molly there with me I’m never alone Coz it’s plain to see, Molly and Me Coz it’s plain to see, Molly and Me

Family Is Everything (R. Hood/C. Stewart) My family is who I am, they hold me really close In every kind of weather, they’re the ones I love the most My family are the only ones who really understands That in every situation we will have each other’s back Family is everything, it’s everything I love My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad We all fit like a glove Family is everything, my love is unreserved My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad Are the centres of my world My family they make me laugh and they also make me cry Through good times and the bad times, from hello's to goodbye's My best friends are my family we share our lives together It comforts me to know they’re there right now and forever Family is everything, it’s everything I love My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad We all fit like a glove Family is everything, my love is unreserved My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad Are the centres of my world My family is all I have, they are my eyes, ears and soul Without them I am nothing, my family makes me whole I can always count on them when times are really hard And celebrate our victories, I know we’ll never part Family is everything, it’s everything I love My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad We all fit like a glove Family is everything, my love is unreserved My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad Are the centres of my world

On The Wings Of An Angel (R. Hood/C. Stewart) The moment you died my heart was torn in two One side was filled with grief the other died with you I often lie awake when the world is asleep And walk down memory lane with tears on my cheeks Missing you I do it every day But remembering you will never go away Coz I hold you tightly within my heart And there you'll remain we will never part I know the love that I had for you Was a love that was felt by a chosen few My broken heart is battered and sore But my love for you will last forever more I do not know how much time remains Until you and I will meet again But what's important to me at this moment in time Is that I keep all the memories you left behind I will shine this light on your legacy There'll be no more shadows for you and me Out of the darkness and into the light The wings of an angel have now taken flight Out of the darkness and into the light The wings of an angel have now taken flight Out of the darkness and into the light The wings of an angel have now taken flight

This Is My Rant (R. Hood/C. Stewart) Why is it that you feel sad When people want to help you? When people want to show you That you're important enough I know we all need a little help To get us through the day Because life can be tough When you have no more words to say These are my thoughts and my feelings This is my rant to the world These are my hopes and my dreamings While waiting for my life to unfold People say that they understand But they don't know a thing They really don't know the hurt That their words can bring I sit in my bedroom sometimes And just let the tears flow Coz no-one can hurt me here While I'm hiding from the life I know These are my thoughts and my feelings This is my rant to the world These are my hopes and my dreamings While waiting for my life to unfold This is my rant to the world, this is my rant to the world This is my rant to the world, this is my rant to the world There are times that I feel I’m at the bottom of a never-ending hole Where no light can get through To light up my world But I know I have the strength inside To crawl my way out Where I can free myself From all my fears and doubts These are my thoughts and my feelings This is my rant to the world These are my hopes and my dreamings While waiting for my life to unfold

The Day I Hold You In Heaven (R. Hood/C. Stewart) A million times I’ve needed you And a million times I’ve cried If love could ever save you You never would’ve died In life I loved you dearly In my heart I love you still I keep inside a special place That no-one else can fill The day I hold you in heaven Is a day I look forward to The day I hold you in heaven Will be a special day, where we can start again Me and you I’ve always been afraid of losing Somebody like you In my dreams we last forever But I know this is not true And even though I live my life Without you by my side I see you watching over me Every time I close my eyes The day I hold you in heaven Is a day I look forward to The day I hold you in heaven Will be a special day, where we can start again The day I hold you in heaven Is a day I look forward to The day I hold you in heaven Will be a special day, where we can start again Me and you

Heart Went BOOM! (R. Hood/C. Stewart) This was never the way I planned It was never my intention But I got so brave and with my heart in hand I lost all sense of direction This is not what I am used to I feel so awkward inside I have stepped right out of my comfort zone With nowhere else to hide My heart went BOOM and I liked it This taste of heavenly love My heart went BOOM and I liked it It's like you were sent from above My heart went BOOM and I liked it I don't even know your name My heart went BOOM and I liked it I wanna get to know you just the same I know that this is human nature It's what people often do When two potential lovers meet Across a crowded room My head says no but my heart says yes I'm feeling so confused But I can feel the touch of your caress Even before you do My heart went BOOM and I liked it This taste of heavenly love My heart went BOOM and I liked it It's like you were sent from above My heart went BOOM and I liked it I don't even know your name My heart went BOOM and I liked it I wanna get to know you just the same Yes, I know it’s wrong but it feels so right Just you and me baby on this cold winters night Yes, I know it’s wrong but it’s only for tonight Let’s give in to each other baby My heart went BOOM and I liked it This taste of heavenly love My heart went BOOM and I liked it It's like you were sent from above My heart went BOOM and I liked it I don't even know your name My heart went BOOM and I liked it I wanna get to know you just the same
