Never forget who you really are If you remember you’ll go far Follow your heart it never lies Keep your dream alive… You have a gift like no one else Don’t be afraid to be yourself You’re a star so shine your light Ever so bright… Don’t ever deny what is true For those who laugh have been fooled Stand up for who you are and how you feel Because that’s the reason that makes you real We’ve got to believe in what we know… as we Inspire everyone wherever we go We’re pieces in the puzzle called the human race And that’s how we make the world a better place… because Being Different Makes a Difference in the World Lyrics and music by Richard Alan Krieger "Crane" Copyright © 2026

She drives to work in a pick-up truck that’s always on the verge of breaking down It’s hard to put food on the table when there’s no good jobs to be found The change jar works for the lotto and she’s hopes next time she doesn’t lose She wonders why she came here in a world that’s often cruel All her friends will tell you She’s the best friend they ever had She’s always there for them To cheer them up when they’re feeling sad She’s a Nightclub Dancer And it’s not who she wants to be But it pays the bills for now and that’s reality She’s a Nightclub Dancer Dancing in Bird Cages It’s not the best spotlight So she goes to school at night Nightclub Dancer you know it’s gonna be alright All her friends will tell you She’s the best friend they ever had She’s always there for them To cheer them up when they’re feeling sad She was a Nightclub Dancer Who moved on to better things The challenges make her strong To find out where she belonged She was a Nightclub Dancer Who is now in control of her life Because she did what she needed to do That made all her dreams come true Lyrics, music and sound production by “Crane” Richard Alan Krieger Copyright © 2026

This is the land the sunset washes, These are the banks of the Yellow Sea; Where it rose, or whither it rushes, These are the western mystery! Night after night her purple traffic Strews the landing with opal bales; Merchantmen poise upon horizons, Dip, and vanish with fairy sails.
