Open Hearts: Creating Community one Song at a time
Show the Love
Which Road Do I Take
Which Road Do I Take
Alan Dunham & John W. Nassivera
Featuring Elizabeth Winge
Show the Love
With a gentle smile
The kind that shines for miles
Oh. It’s on
Show the Love
Shine for every mile
Pave the way for more smiles
Which Road Do I Take
Which Road Do I Take
Which Road Do I Take
Bob Bates & John W. Nassivera
Featuring Marc Clayton
Standing still can cause one’s soul to ache
Doing right of promises that we made
I have got to choose too make or brake
So, tell me now which road do I take
The Scent of Violets
Which Road Do I Take
The Scent of Violets
Albert Bouchard, David Hirschberg & Joh W. Nassivera
Featuring Elizabeth Winge
What a great partnership for a Rock song, the drummer from Blue Öyster Cult and a quote from Mark Twain.
I can quote you some Samuel Clemens
His words echo down from the heavens
Forgiveness is like the sweet fragrance
Violets leave on the heel that crushed it
Clean Out of Sight
Living with an Open Heart
The Scent of Violets
Alan Dunham & John W. Nassivera
Featuring Alan Dunham
I may not be right, but I’m up for the fight
I’m not that type, don’t fall victim to the hype
Hang on tight, lets embrace the night
Giving Is
Living with an Open Heart
Living with an Open Heart
Sam Reed & John W. Nassivera
Featuring Sam Reed
Giving is a true confession
A gift of our hearts’ expression
Of love in our possession
Breaking the chain of oppression
Living with an Open Heart
Living with an Open Heart
Living with an Open Heart
Bob Bates & John W. Nassivera
Featuring Dakota Bates
There are days when I choose the wider path
But the road seems to narrow to the left
So, I go back to the place where I should start'
Cause I Am Living With An Open Heart
Ready Set Go
Head in a Haze
Head in a Haze
Bob Bates & John W. Nassivera
Featuring Dakota Bates
What a strange sight, nothing looks quite right
Made by your hands, now that’s a silly plan
Believe your eyes, yep, best money can buy
That’s right baby, there’s no maybe
Head in a Haze
Head in a Haze
Head in a Haze
Alan Dunham & John W. Nassivera
Featuring Alan Dunham
Rock me with the answer I need
Roll me to a field of dreams
Not to the beat of the same old tune
Searching high and low for the perfect pitch
Giving is always the right gift
Bands make it rock Roadies make it roll
Write me a song that’s music to the soul
Beyond the Mirror
Is That a Smile I See
Is That a Smile I See
Bob Bates & John W. Nassivera
Featuring Elizabeth Winge
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
If you could see beyond that wall, you’d know it all
You’d be amazed to see
The bright beautiful truth that lies in me
Is That a Smile I See
Is That a Smile I See
Is That a Smile I See
Bob Bates & John W. Nassivera
Featuring Bob Bates
Is that a smile I see, sure looks it to me
A gentle heartened smile without limits
Is that a smile I see, sure looks it to me
The kind that raised another person’s spirits
