Midweek morning off the bus to reunite
Class hasn't started but I've been ready since last night
Some may say it's a dead old town but this room brings it alive
Share a coke, share a story, I've arrived.
Belinda hands me a brush and nods to Karolyne
When I first came here I couldn't draw a straight line
Tim is in his apron making coffee for the patrons
Open up, make a space, our time to shine.
Arts Together
We’ll sew our hearts together
Weather the storm together
One more time
No apology, we don’t need an excuse
Arts Together is the family you choose
This blank canvas seems intent to overwhelm
But amidst the chatter the paint brush takes the helm
When you're in good company the time passes so swiftly
And the artwork seems to paint all by itself.
This wallpaper, these puzzles will forever stay the same
These four walls never vary it's the residents who change
Enter with some trepidation, paint away that old frustration
I'm sure there's no place I would rather be.

Gavin Osborn - Doorway

Your mind's running in circles
You're dead on your feet
Every day feels the same
You're like Robinson Crusoe washed up on the street
Living with the fear and the shame
Some days you feel welcome on somebody's sofa
Other times you're told to move on
You're just a few quid away from running out of hope
And looking for a place to call home
Then you crooss the bridge over the River Avon
To the safest haven
Where they care what your name is
And behind the door you find this new perspective
You find kindness and a cooked breakfast
CHORUS
Because there you got a place
You're not just another face
You're not just another rebel without a clue
At Doorway you're never alone
So come on down to Doorway
Come on through
Everyone here's got story to tell
Even clean and smart with Adidas shoes on
It might look from outside
That you're fine and you're well
But you need people to see that you're human
And the songs that we busk
Are all songs about hope
Every little things' gonna to be alright
It's the support that we get here
It helps us to cope
At Doorway football on a Monday night
And it's always there
Like a tattoo or an earring
Like the angels volunteering
They just keep persevering
And behind the door
You can find your inner artist
Cos hope is where the heart is for sure
Oh times are hard but you'll never be judged
But one's gonna drop you like a stone
A new start, a hug and a mug

I’ve been walking around this old town, for way too long
But I’ve heard of a little place down the back streets, is the place to go.
Its full of friendship and laughter and warm infectious smiles.
They say they sing like a load of old drunks after a night out on the tiles.
So I knocked on the back door with hesitation, not knowing what I would find.
It was a tall man with wide eyes and a kind smile, that beckoned me inside.
He said ‘My dear we’re not what you’d expect, we don’t just sit around with blankets on
our lap, But with a little humanity and a lot of respect, we might show you a good time’.
At Mill Street Club – You get out what you put in.
At Mill Street Club – You won’t believe where they’ve been.
At Mill Street Club – They treat you like a king.
At Mill Street Club – They sing a ding-a-ling.
At Mill Street Club – You get out what you put in.
Sitting to my left there was a lady, with a cheeky glint in her eye.
She said ‘Yes they might call us crazy, It’s a madhouse here, I’m not gonna lie’.
Theres always time for some drums, some rock and roll and some air guitar.
Have a little fun, don’t take yourself so seriously, cuz you wont get very far.
At Mill Street Club – You get out what you put in.
At Mill Street Club – You won’t believe where they’ve been.
At Mill Street Club – They treat you like a king.
At Mill Street Club – They sing a ding-a-ling.
At Mill Street Club – You get out what you put in.
They’ve got a few years on you and me, but they can teach us a thing or two.
If you could live your life differently, I asked them, what would they do?
Don’t hold grudges, No regrets, Live a good life, and pay your respects,
Stop your worries, Smile a little more, Love your family, Keep the wolf from the door.
Don’t hold grudges, No regrets, Just be grateful, for all you can get,
Stop your worries, Smile a little more, Love your family, Welcome friends at your door,
Love your family, and welcome friends at your door.
At Mill Street Club – You get out what you put in.
At Mill Street Club – You won’t believe where they’ve been.
At Mill Street Club – They treat you like a king.
At Mill Street Club – They sing a ding-a-ling.
At Mill Street Club – You get out what you put in.
Mill Street Club.

I don't care if you don't like this
I'm being myself and I really like it
We are the youth club Trowbridge Future
Games on computer
We also have a tutor
If you love Greggs this place with suit ya
Wanna get involved then we'll include ya
Been here for ages or just starting to go
Let me introduce some of the stars of the show
Marek and Max they DJ and rap
Always starts the party with their tracks
There's 2 Charlies one likes dodgeball
One plays video games lots
Be careful though cos if you get them mixed up
You know you'll get a squashed X Box
Talia is smart and good at marks
Scarlette is singing like a pop star
Straight after the show she plays
She likes jams donuts all over her face
Who's trampolining, it's Amelia
Alaska likes changing colour chameleons
Jasmine and Kiera might have a fight
But by the end of the session its always alright
Sophie likes Football, Benjamin likes Greggs
I wonder if Greggs will get mentioned again
Jaden eats baked beans and I quote that
The good people of Trowbridge need to know that
We are the youth club Trowbridge Future
Games on computer
We also have a tutor
If you love Greggs this place with suit ya
Wanna get involved then we'll include ya
To really celebrate all of the above
You need the people who put in all their time and love
So I asked for some words about the staff
You need a notebook as long as Trowbridge to Bath
Well there's Tilly she's pretty cheeky
Gets free Greggs on the weekly
But she's patient, funny makes you feel understood
Her contribution goes beyond sourcing baked goods
Then there's Emily she's kind and she's smart
she always helps if you need a fresh start
And if you wanna play sports then just ask Kofo
She'll get you active just like a Go Pro
Debs is energised and bright
They did mention she's short but what she lacks in height
She easily makes up for because she's sure to
always be a really great person to talk to
This place is the bomb and I don't really know why I'm singing this song
It is quite nice, and we don't have lice... well... I think
We are the youth club Trowbridge Future
Games on computer
We also have a tutor
If you love Greggs this place with suit ya
Wanna get involved then we'll include ya
Wanna get involved then we'll include ya

I just said something
A simple comment
It started a tidal wave of hate
It drowned me
In a pool of emotions
And left me feeling defeated
There’s a reason why I don’t post online
There’s a million things I can’t control
There is good and bad, like ying and yang
I just don’t want to fall down the hole
When I change schools or move away
I look for a positive influence
I can stay in touch
And keep connected
And stream good vibes

You, you left your mark on me
Now, now is the time you leave
You grow, you really thought you broke me
Look now I'm whole
Much better with just me
So goodbye I'm finally free
I'm better without you
Better without you
No more lies now I can speak
I'm stronger without you
Stronger without you
You, thought I was frail and weak
wrong, you never knew the real me
Yes I died, I cried I fell own to the floor
But now I'm new, much stronger than before
So goodbye I'm finally free
I'm better without you
Better without you
All I've been through
Meant to be cos I'm stronger without you
Stronger without you
I'm standing on my own
I'm finally fighting back
Now I've found my voice
Now it really feels right
So goodbye I'm finally free
I'm better without you
Better without you
All I've been through
Meant to be cos I'm stronger without you
Stronger without you
So goodbye I'm finally free
I'm better without you
Better without you
No more lies now I can speak
I'm better without you
Better without you

Here in Stepping Stones
We can laugh and play
It's a lovely way to spend the day with our friends
Oh, oh, oh.
We take a small step and then a big leap
We clap our hands and wiggle our feet
We share this time as we sing our song
Move to the rhythm of the beat
Everyone here is unique
We're proud, we're strong it's good to be me
It's a happy, friendly community
Moving to the rhythm of our beat
And we go home at the end of the day
It's not goodbye cos we'll be back soon to play another day
Oh, Oh
Here in Stepping Stones
We can laugh and play
It's a lovely way to spend the day with our friends
Oh, oh, oh.

Do you, ever feel
Like getting out?
Like there’s, an answer
To be found?
When you look up
And the skies are full of rain
And you’re waiting
For the sun to come again
(It’s alright)
CHORUS
What if
You looked for the end of the rainbow oh
oh
What if
You’ve gone as far as you can go-oh-oh
And you’ve searched high
And you’ve searched low
For another way
For a pot of gold
What if the end of the rainbow
Was right here
VERSE 2
Stop, take a minute
And look around
(We’re here together so let’s get
together get together)
New shoots, coming up
From underground
(We’re here together so let’s stay
forever, get together)
When you look up
And you wanna run for cover
Just wait tomorrow
You’ll see a sky that’s full of colour
BRIDGE
Come on now, let’s celebrate, celebrate
Come on now, it’s not too late, not too
late
Can’t have a rainbow without a little rain
But it’s time for multicolour now we’re
done with the grey
