    THROUGH THE DARKNESS Verse 1 I get up each day at the crack of dawn I have a quick shower, put my best clothes on Have coffee and toast, it's the same every day Then I dream of the stars in the Milky Way Pre-chorus Then I drift up into space Chorus Starman, hear me now Take me by the hand Lead me through the darkness To a distant land Verse 2 I go out to work, always catch the train I stand all the way there and back again When I get the job done and I'm back at home I venture out to my astrodome Pre-chorus Then I drift up into space Chorus Starman, hear me now Take me by the hand Lead me through the darkness To a distant land Bridge I must escape when the chance comes around Put my head in the air, take my feet off the ground Leave the world that I know with its hate and its crime When I look through my scope I can go back in time Verse 3 I put on TV, watch the same old stuff Quizzes, news and soaps till I've had enough Some reality show that I can't abide But then the skies clear and I go outside Pre-chorus Then I drift up into space Leave behind the human race Chorus Starman, hear me now Take me by the hand Lead me through the darkness To a distant land Repeat Chorus with counterpoint (counterpoint lyric: Starman listen Help me steer Starman guide me Away from here) © 2018 Music and lyrics by Alex Houston

    RAINBOW’S END (children’s version) Verse 1 Jenny the spider had an urge inside her When she was older, could she make a web? Then her mother told her "just begin" That's how Jenny learned to spin Verse 2 Henry the rabbit had a silly habit He loved his magic but always got it wrong Then he came across an old top hat Now Henry appears from that Chorus Some say you cannot find the end of a rainbow That surely isn’t true, so here’s what you must do To find your pot of gold just follow the bend When you search for your rainbow’s end Verse 3 Sammy the seagull thought he was an eagle But when he tried he couldn't fly so high Then one day he heard the thunder roar And now you should see him soar Chorus Some say you cannot find the end of a rainbow That surely isn’t true, so here’s what you must do To find your pot of gold just follow the bend When you search for your rainbow’s end Bridge Our little friends all found out what it took To make your dreams come true you need to look Chorus Some say you cannot find the end of a rainbow That surely isn’t true, so here’s what you must do To find your pot of gold just follow the bend When you search for your rainbow’s end You’ve got to search for your rainbow’s end © 2017 Music and lyrics by Alex Houston

    RACE TO THE FINISH Intro Verse 1 You buy me flowers, talk for hours Each and every time we meet Play the game, say my name Try to sweep me off my feet You’re moving too fast For this love to last Race to the finish all you can But not with me, if that’s your plan Verse 2 Take it slow, ’cause you know I’m an ordinary girl Having fun, much too young And I want to see the world I want to see life And not be your wife Race to the finish all you can But count me out, you’re not my man Instrumental section Bridge Please tell me what you need from me Why can’t you take the lead from me? Let’s build a friendship, it’s hardly a crime Sharing and caring and taking our time Verse 3 So that’s your cue, what you do Will determine how we fare Buck the trend, be my friend And who knows what will be there When I get around To settling down Race to the finish all you can It’s not the way to win my hand © 2011 Words and music by Alex Houston
