You Can't Have Me 03:34
lyrics
buy track
You Can’t Have Me When I look at the world through the eyes of another, I see outrage, I see pain When I look at the world through the eyes of another, see enough crazy to go insane It's right here, over there, it's all around and everywhere Look if you dare, but beware, you’ll get numb and just won't care. But you can't have me. You can't have me, I’m keeping my spirit, wild and free Gonna shine my light gonna shine it bright, Glow in the dark for the world to see Sometimes you’re bound, to slide on down into that cesspool and hang around If you stay too long, they’ll take your song, soon you'll find, it’s gone all wrong. But you can't have me. You can't have me, I’m keeping my spirit, wild and free Gonna shine my light gonna shine it bright, Glow in the dark for the world to see When I look at the world through the eyes of another, I see love, I see grace When I look at the world through the eyes of another, I see fear trying to take their place But you can't have me. You can't have me, I’m keeping my spirit, wild and free Gonna shine my light gonna shine it bright, Glow in the dark for the world to see You can’t have me, you can’t have me, you can’t have me, you can’t have me…… Abby Grace – PRO Socan - Artist Page - https://www.thehermitsmusic.com/artists/abby-grace/ - Producer – The Hermits Music

Keep it Simple I’m a 1-4-5 kind of girl, three chords and the truth are all I need It’s all about sharing the music, so everyone can sing along with me Keep it simple, keep it real, don’t complicate it or make it a big deal Keep it simple, keep it nice, don’t make me tell you twice I’m a 1-4-5 kind of girl, 1 truck, 4 wheels, 5 gears, let’s roll A bed, a hitch, a tailgate for the party, got everything I need to hit the road Keep it simple, keep it real, don’t complicate it or make it a big deal Keep it simple, keep it nice, don’t make me tell you twice, don’t make me tell you twice Got no mortgage, no payment on a car, it’s just me, my truck and my guitar Keep it simple, keep it real, don’t complicate it or make it a big deal Keep it simple, keep it nice, don’t make me tell you twice Don’t make me tell you twice, don’t make me tell you three times Abby Grace – PRO Socan - Artist Page - https://www.thehermitsmusic.com/artists/abby-grace/ - Producer – The Hermits Music - co-writer- Dale Allen

Look Up Look up, look up Look all around You miss so much when you’re always looking down Look up, look up. Look all around. Kids growing. Flowers blooming. New roads to be found. There is something for everyone, in this big old world. Share your heart, mind and soul, let’s build a better world. Look up, look up. Look all around. You miss so much when you’re always looking down Look up, look up. Look all around. Could loose your way back ... never to be found. We need all you’ve got to give, to this big old world Get your hands dirty. Working side by side... for a better world Look up, look up. Look all around. You miss so much when you’re always looking down Look up, look up. Look all around. Time marches on even while you’re looking down Look up, look up. Look all around, You miss so much when you’re always looking down Abby Grace – PRO Socan - Artist Page - https://www.thehermitsmusic.com/artists/abby-grace/ - Producer – The Hermits Music

A Mother's Story 03:07
lyrics

A Mother’s Story There’s a story to be told, Of a miracle to behold A tiny one came to earth, On the day that I gave birth Oh how blessed, such bliss, O’er my eyes formed a mist And I could not resist, That tiny nose to give a kiss As she grew before my eyes, All her stumbles, all her tries All her lows, all her highs, Oh such spirit did arise Then a little girl appeared, Playing dress up in the mirror So ferocious, no fear, A gentle spirit ever so dear The young woman came on strong, Singing magic in her song Feeling she could do no wrong, Finding her place to belong There’s a story to be told, Of a miracle to behold A tiny one came to earth, On the day that she gave birth It’s incredible to see, A daughter with her little baby It’s incredible to see, My daughter feels the same as me Abby Grace – PRO Socan - Artist Page - https://www.thehermitsmusic.com/artists/abby-grace/ - Producer – The Hermits Music

Sweepin’ Mama Blues I got the sweepin’ mama blues, I’m always cleaning after you It’s just me and my broom, dancing room to room I got the sweepin’ mama blues Dirt dirt everywhere, On the floor and in the air Nobody wipes their feet, or lifts the toilet seat Or even really seems to care I got the sweepin’ mama blues, I’m always cleaning after you It’s just me and my broom, dancing room to room I got the sweepin’ mama blues I got my man Mr Clean, he’s the best you ever seen We make it spic and span, with mop and pail in hand Leaving sparkles where we’ve been I got the sweepin’ mama blues, I’m always cleaning after you It’s just me and my broom, dancing room to room I got the sweepin’ mama blues When’s it ever gonna end, all this cook and clean and mend Just when I see the light, somebody yells “food fight” And here I go again I got the sweepin’ mama blues, I’m always cleaning after you It’s just me and my broom, dancing room to room I got the sweepin’ mama blues Abby Grace – PRO Socan - Artist Page - https://www.thehermitsmusic.com/artists/abby-grace/ - Producer – The Hermits Music

The Plight of the Crone Sitting with her back, against the old oak tree, Staring at her new home, wondering how to be Her chores are all looked after, there’s not a lot to do It feels so sad and lonely, from her point of view All the wisdom in her belly, knowledge in her heart She just wants to share it, it’s tearing her apart They rarely come to visit since they put her in this home All too familiar is the The Plight of the Crone She’s cried so many tears, kissed so many hearts Held broken spirits, while they fell apart Belly laughed with babies, danced a waltz or two She sits and reflects on the life that she’s been through All the wisdom in her belly, knowledge in her heart She just wants to share it, it’s tearing her apart They rarely come to visit since they put her in this home All too familiar is the The Plight of the Crone The Elders are forgotten, in this day and age We’re losing all the lessons, the learnings and the sage All the wisdom in her belly, knowledge in her heart She just wants to share it, it’s tearing her apart They rarely come to visit since they put her in this home All too familiar is the The Plight of the Crone Abby Grace – PRO Socan - Artist Page - https://www.thehermitsmusic.com/artists/abby-grace/ - Producer – The Hermits Music

No Se Nada Hallelujah, the dream came true, deal on the house just gone through We’re sortin, siftin and a-packin our stuff, Conventional ways, we’ve had enough The bus arrived just the other day, We’re fixing her up in a special way No Se Nada is her christened name, No hurry no worry the name of the game No Se Nada – we’ll go with the flow No Se Nada – we’re making it so No Se Nada – we’re free as a bird No Se Nada- we’re off to see the world We’re almost there, we’ve sold the toys, Little things that brought such joy Fond memories are all tucked away, For us to treasure in our golden day Whatever fits is what we’ll keep, Holding the faith, making the leap We’ll fill it all up with light and love, take our directions from up above No Se Nada – we’ll go with the flow No Se Nada – we’re making it so No Se Nada – we’re free as a bird No Se Nada- we’re off to see the world Don’t know where we’re goin there’s no plan, South looks good, maybe Newfoundland See family and friends along the way, It’s all about the journey, fun and play No Se Nada – we’ll go with the flow No Se Nada – we’re making it so No Se Nada – we’re free as a bird No Se Nada- we’re off to see the world No Se Nada- we’re off to see the world No Se Nada- we’re off to see the world Abby Grace – PRO Socan - Artist Page - https://www.thehermitsmusic.com/artists/abby-grace/ - Producer – The Hermits Music

Little Things A call out of nowhere, Your husky voices says hi Telling me you love me, And all the reasons why It’s just the little things You do for me each day It’s the little things That sweep my heart away You always open all my doors, Won’t let me carry a thing Making sure I’m cozy, You make my heart sing It’s just the little things You do for me each day It’s the little things That sweep my heart away Always thoughtful with your gifts, Flowers , chocolate treats But just one look from you babe, And my heart wildly beats It’s just the little things You do for me each day It’s the little things That sweep my heart away Oh It’s the little things, That sweep my heart away Abby Grace – PRO Socan - Artist Page - https://www.thehermitsmusic.com/artists/abby-grace/ - Producer – The Hermits Music

Ain’t No Barbie Doll Oh she ain’t what I thought she was at all, No Sir folks she ain’t no Barbie doll Oh she ain’t what you thought she was at all, No Sir folks she ain’t no Barbie doll She’s got the soul of a gypsy, the heart of a hippie, the spirit of a fairy... Her dress is just an ole plain Jane, you won’t catch her playing many games She likes to keep it simple, but watch out for that dimple I’m pretty sure this one you can’t tame Oh she ain’t what I thought she was at all, No Sir folks she ain’t no Barbie doll Oh she ain’t what you thought she was at all, No Sir folks she ain’t no Barbie doll She’s got the soul of a gypsy, the heart of a hippie, the spirit of a fairy... She always takes the time to show she cares, sometimes you won’t even know she’s there It can be hard on her soul, Gypsy life can take its toll, And her friends are all scattered everywhere Oh she ain’t what I thought she was at all, No Sir folks she ain’t no Barbie doll Oh she ain’t what you thought she was at all, No Sir folks she ain’t no Barbie doll She’s got the soul of a gypsy, the heart of a hippie, the spirit of a fairy...

Wanna Change the World Hooooly Hanna, I’m in a funk, It’s time for this ego, to take a slam dunk Poking my soul, trying to tell it what to do, Turn on the light, let the love shine through Many hands make light, of a job to be done, There’s nothing we can’t do, all working as one When we’re too busy, with hearts reaching out, Hands across the water, that’s what it’s all about Wanna change the world, take a look in the mirror, What you’re holdin onto, why it’s so dear Wanna change the world, let’s live in grace, Get it turned on, love ‘n light up this place Let there be peace, let it start with me Trust and have faith, gotta learn to let it be Living my truth, that’s my biggest gift Best way I know, to give this place a lift Wanna change the world, take a look in the mirror, What you’re holdin onto, why it’s so dear Wanna change the world, let’s live in grace, Get it turned on, love ‘n light up this place A sure fire way, for us to get along Is raising our hearts, and voices in song Regardless of colour, faith, creed or race When sharing the music, it all falls into place Wanna change the world, take a look in the mirror, What you’re holdin onto, why it’s so dear Wanna change the world, let’s live in grace, Get it turned on, love ‘n light up this place, place, place Get it turned on, love ‘n light up this place Abby Grace – PRO Socan - Artist Page - https://www.thehermitsmusic.com/artists/abby-grace/ - Producer – The Hermits Music

Putting the livingroom back in the music - Emmylou Harris

I love this saying, has become my mission statement...

I grew up in Northern Canada, and while always having a deep love of music, it’s been later in life, since 2012, that I started writing and performing.

My intent is to spread love and joy through music, which hopefully leaves you with a smile in your heart. ... more
