Blowing bubbles filled with colors they burst in the bright blue sky i'll be dreaming of you for a lifetime or two you always find a way to make me smile Pre-chorus: while everybody else is busy buttoning up we'll be pulling out the rug from the world Chorus: we live, we laugh and we love in color You taste of candy so sugar sweet i drink you in to wash it down you're flooding my heart i'm splashing around i'm drowning and i never wanna get out Pre-chorus while everybody else is busy tidying up we'll be shooting fireworks over the sun Chorus

Well I have seen the red of June follow my voice through songs I sing to you and I hope you hear them too. Sunset spread, laid out like paint, run to the river where I see red again and blue is flowing in the bed. Colors take me away, you know? To a special little little place of my own. I miss the blue of my summer skies and miss the leaves and the green of my home. Lincoln fall, I wait for them all. Orange filled streets and the leaves and the birds they call for somewhere south they can go. The fire's red, like shame it spreads across the plains where we hope to grow again and find a spot we can wed. Colors take me away, you know? To a special little little place of my own. I miss the blue of my summer skies and miss the gleam from the green in your eyes.

Wake up kids We've got the dreamers disease Age 14 we got you down on your knees So polite, you're busy still saying please Fri-enemies, who when you're down ain't your friend Every night we smash their Mercedes-Benz First we run and then we laugh till we cry [chorus] But when the night is falling and you cannot find the light If you feel your dream is dying Hold tight You've got the music in you Don't let go You've got the music in you One dance left This world is gonna pull through Don't give up You've got a reason to live Can't forget you only get what you give Four a.m. we ran a miracle mile were flat broke but hey we do it in style The bad rich God's flying in for your trial [chorus] This whole damn world can fall apart You'll be ok follow your heart You're in harms way I'm right behind Now say you're mine [chorus]

Sometimes I can’t get out of bed Sometimes I have to shave my head Sometimes I want to play instead Sometimes I think I’m going crazy Sometimes it’s worth a second look Don’t judge the cover by the book Sometimes they stop and stare and gawk But they’ll never see My Invisible Mohawk Invisible Mo-ho-hawk Invisible Mohawk Invisible Mo-ho-hawk Sometimes I stumble and I fall Sometimes I rise up strong and tall Sometimes I understand it all Sometimes I think I’m going crazy Sometimes I know it’s within me To make the most and be happy Sometimes they stop and stare and gawk But they’ll never see My Invisible Mohawk Invisible Mo-ho-hawk Invisible Mohawk Invisible Mo-ho-hawk My Invisible Mohawk Invisible Mo-ho-hawk Invisible Mohawk Invisible Mo-ho-hawk

And the boy wakes starkly, shivers in the dark He Seeks the welcome home of candle glow. Places all his games and notebooks in a row, Shakes his best friend's paw as if to say 'hello.' One more day when time drips slowly, firmly On the face of joy, still he knows what to do. Run away to places where the trees and flowers Shout his name out in trumpets bold and blue. Now the boy sees paths of Lego's leading to the sun, And so the boy builds castles big enough for everyone.

Alabama Arkansas I do love my Ma and Pa Not the way that I do love you Well holy moly me oh my You’re the apple of my eye Girl I've never loved one like you Man o man you're my best friend I scream it to the nothingness There ain't nothing that I need Hot and heavy pumpkin pie Chocolate candy Jesus Christ Ain't nothing please me more than you [Chorus:] Home, let me come home Home is wherever I'm with you Home, let me come home Home is wherever I'm with you La la la la Take me home Mama I'm coming home I follow you into the park, Through the jungle, through the dark Girl I've never loved one like you Moats and boats and waterfalls, Alleyways and payphone calls I been everywhere with you Laugh until we think we'll die, Barefoot on a summer night Never could be sweeter than with you And in the streets you run afree, Like it's only you and me, Geeze, you're something to see. [Chorus] La la la la Take me home Baby, I'm coming home

about

Songs for Aidan Volume 2 commemorates Aidan finishing active treatment for Ewing's Sarcoma. He's gone through nearly 11 months of chemotherapy and 6 weeks of radiation since his diagnosis last September 21, 2012. We feel this set of songs tells Aidan's story well and we are so proud to be able to present this collaborative effort.

Our family is heading into a new phase of our lives. We are hopeful, optimistic, guarded, and terrified all at the same time. We know that it isn't always going to be easy, but we feel that we will make it just the same. We take comfort that we will always have the songs that so many wonderful people sent to us to lift our spirits.

We offer our deepest gratitude to the artists featured on this album. More than just these great songs, they have all offered support, love and friendship to our family and have helped make such a difficult journey easier to bear.

We also extend sincerest thanks to Louie Earl for bringing the concept we had for the artwork for Songs for Aidan to life and completely surpassing our expectations. Thanks also to Andrew Stanton who provided the incredibly unique artist portraits for Volume 2. Andrew is an exceptional graphic designer and we appreciate his efforts.

Special thanks also to Adam at Breakpoint Mastering. Adam once again volunteered his services to master these songs and make them sound fantastic.
