"Why" By: Sienna Mae Heath Revised 6-15-03 Copyright 2003
Does anybody know, who I am? Will all our lives just be, another scam?
I simply sit and think, to conclude -Are we all doomed?
Refrain: Just how the world would be if we could understand?
Why are there so many problems? Why's everyone so depressed?
Good friends try to help, But they only do their best.
We're all so lonely, So sensitive and sad.
How can we cooperate to keep this world from going bad…?
Why? Why? Why is this place so complex?
Why? Why? Why are we all so hexed?
Let people get to know you They're not as shallow as you see. Show off all you've got Be the best you can be.
(Guitar solo)
Refrain: Just how the world would be if we could understand?
Why? Why? Why is this place so complex?
Why? Why? Why are we all so hexed?
Try not to throw our lives away, Unless we're willing to pay the cost. Let's have some better lives lived Than some better ones lost.
~Music alone~
We're all stuck behind a curtain Of beads and memories. Why are we all so scared of simply being seen?
~Pause/Music~
Refrain: Just how the world would be if we could understand?
Why. (No voices, just musical tune of WHY.) Why. (No voices, just musical tune of WHY.)
Why. (Sung)

"Insignificant"
By: Sienna Mae Heath
Copyright 2003
All my life I've been seen as -The small one. -The shy one. -The insignificant. I want you to see me for who I am. Not this. But should I make a wish -Or is it too - insignificant?
I look upon the night sky to see -A shooting star. I look up again and foresee What would come of me If I would make a wish- Of insignificance.
Here I'm left With a fortune cookie in my hand It reads: "Make a wish." This is left torn in my dish! But should I make a wish -Or is it too - insignificant?
Do you still see me as - The insignificant? Can't you see that I'm lost and scared? Can this life be bared? So you see, I'm no insignificant.
I am significant.

"Swords and Shields" April 26th, 2003
By: Sienna Mae Heath
Copyright 2003
Weapons of war Bombs of mass destruction Do we need these anymore? [In] Our world of seduction
To go back to Shakespeare ...Swords and shields We still have them here...............
We all have our swords in hand -Our shields cover our heart We fight for our land The is one action that will only keep us apart.
Nobody can see who you are Take off the mask. You can't get very far. Just take the shield down.
Chorus: Drop your shields Drop your swords Be yourself Speak your own words Dance to a beat of a different drummer Hum to the song of a different hummer.
(MUSIC…)
Let people get to know you Don't be so afraid They're not as shallow as you see Don't let your life go and fade!
Chorus:
Drop your shields Drop your swords Be yourself Speak your own words Dance to a beat of a different drummer Hum to the song of a different hummer.
(MUSIC...)
Swords and Shields...

"Behind" By: Sienna Mae Heath June 30th, 2003 Copyright 2003
Behind all my faults Behind all my dreams
Behind my green eyes Behind my red hair
There's a vulnerable person Who tries to help, and tries to care.
Behind.
Behind.
Behind all my trophies Behind all my talents
I'm insecure Sick of it all I'm sick of the friendships, That stumble and fall.
GUITAR
Does anyone really see? What's behind it all? What's inside of me? Can you really see…?
Behind.
Behind.
I seem aloof I look kind of shy Inside I'm just About to cry.
Behind the hidden feelings Behind my hard head
I'm just about to crack I'm ready to lose it I want my old life back I want to let it all out!
But behind….
I'm crazy Emotional Almost mad
But on the outside I'm not really that bad.
GUITAR
But now I have come out I came out to shout I came out to cry But you don't understand
What's behind…

I
love Daisy!
Daisy
love I!
Daisy
is my foofy, foofy fye!
With
a great big smile that goes
From
ear to ear!
Won’t
you say he is so queer?
But
that’s not, really true!!
Daisy
is my foofy, foofy foo!
And
I just thought that,
You’d
really like to know!
Daisy
to me is like my big toe.[1]

I
love Jasmine!
Jasmine
love I!
Jasmine
is my foofy, foofy fye!
With
a great big zit,
That
goes right by her nose!
When
God made her,
It
was there, and it froze.
But
that’s not, really true!
Jasmine
is my foofy, foofy foo!
And
I just thought that,
You’d
really like to hear!
Jasmine
to me is very dear.
[1] When I say this, I say this as a term of endearment. Without Daisy,
or my big toe, I can’t walk through life because both these things help me balance myself. So this is a simile.

“The
Light”
By:
Sienna Mae Heath
Copyright
September 29th,
2003
Everyone has a
darkened side.
Everyone has the light.
All of us go for the flame,
whether it's dark or light.
We all have fire in our hearts;
it could be bright or black.
Each of our beings strive for their best,
Whether it's wrong or right.
Can we all go toward the illumine essence,
and still keep the fire in our souls.
Why can't we see the difference,
between a light and a hole?
Go toward the light;
go facing the candles.
Do what is right;
Keep away from these vandals.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Everyone has a darkened side.
Everyone has the light.
All of us go for the flame,
whether it's dark or light.
We all keep fire in our hearts,
our world needs all different lights.
Each of our beings strive for their best,
Whether it's wrong or right.
Go toward the sun;
Go toward the horizon.
Face the darkness
With all your enlightenment.
Everyone
has a darkened side.
Everyone has the light.
All of us go for the flame,
whether it's dark or light.
“No
Heaven”
By:
Sienna Mae Heath
Copyright April 8th, 2003
What would you do if there
was no heaven?
What would you do if this
life was it?
What would you do if there
wasn't heaven?
Would you stay around or
would you end it now--today.
But really think about it.
If you knew this minute,
Would there be any
limits--for you?
Would you be free to do,
--as you please?
--be at ease?
Who you are.
You'd be who you are.?
There wouldn't be any
boundaries,
There wouldn't be any
bars-
To hold you back.
Who you are
You'd be who you are
You wouldn't be so scared
What's on the other
side--for you.
Would it be a comforting
feeling if you didn't have, --to abide.
-No
rules. -
Would
you wanna be Who you are?!
Would
you wanna be Who you are?!
What
would you do….
There
wouldn’t be any boundaries
There
wouldn’t be any bars, to hold you back.
What
would you do if there wasn’t heaven?
What
would you do if this life was it?
What
would you do?
Who
you are?
No heaven!
I,
Sienna Mae Heath am a musician and a writer. I was born in Gravette, Arkansas on
October 10, 1989, which makes me 14 years old. I am currently in the 9th grade
at Pen Argyl Area High School. I come from a family of artists,
so consequently I’ve gotten into the arts as well.
I have played the cello since I was
eight years old. I started playing the piano, even before the cello at age six.
I composed my own tunes on the cello and on the piano, and performed them for
friends and family a lot. During this time, I have taken singing lessons in and
out of school. In “The Keystone Girls Choir” I was a 1st Soprano, but in my
school chorus I was an Alto for some time. In the spring of 1998, my “Keystone
Girls Choir” director, Dr. Shade, took the boys and the girls in his choirs to
Canada. We performed several times there. When I was in that Choir, I also
performed with them many places in Pennsylvania. I used to dance some too. I
took dancing lessons for a few years in two places. I also choreographed some of
my dances. I also was in some local competitions in relation with music and
writing, and have won many awards for some of the tunes and stories I wrote.
After this time in my life, I wanted to try something new so I took up the
French horn, and then finally, the guitar.
I
started the guitar in fifth grade at the age of ten. I worked with a used
acoustic until the summer of 2003 I got an electric guitar. In 2003, I wrote
over 15 songs in less than four months. The songs and lyrics just kept coming to
me. I started recording in my very own room with a small recording studio at the
beginning of the summer of ’03. My style can probably best be defined as soft
rock, but I’ll let you form your own opinion as you listen to my first CD.
I
haven’t forgotten about my other instruments though. I still am in my school
orchestras and band. I am going to be completing my second year in the Pocono
Junior String Orchestra. I have learned a lot from this new orchestra, and I am
continuing to go back.
I perform for people, whether it’s at my own house, a friend’s house, or at an event of some sort. I have been involved in some of our family productions, singing, playing and/or performing theater too. Not too long ago, in September 2003, I was in a theater production where I sang my own song (and performed theater) at Stonehenge and Morning Star. With this same organization, I was in another similar act for Winter Solstice. I performed at the Unity of Lehigh Valley Church in Emmaus, PA. Pana Columbus, of Allentown, PA, led both of these productions. Scott Eggert was in charge of the music portion of the Winter Solstice production, and helped me with my song in the performance.
You
may think that I am an “all work, no fun” person, but really I’m still a
regular teenager in other ways. I like to spend time with friends, and go to the
mall, the pool, out to eat and just to have a good time when I’m not working.
But my biggest obstacle that I have to get over is balancing work and fun.
Sometimes, I forget too much about one, and it’s hard to get back into
balance.
…I have
two things that I hope can get me far in this world, and they are my music, and
my writing. I love composing and writing lyrics. I’ve played instruments and
written poems and stories since I could pick up a pencil or play a scale on the
piano. I hope you enjoy my first album, which I have worked much on. I look
forward to producing more new albums, which I hope to improve as I go.
