I don’t know where to start or how to end All that I know is that I must begin Pushin’ up from the bottom to the top As much as I think I want to, I can’t stop So here - I am The door is open wide Daring myself to finally go inside Well I’m on my way Don’t worry baby I’m on my way Don’t give up on me now Cause I’m on my way Don’t worry baby And everyone’s gonna hear what I have to say Hey hey hey Hey hey hey You know sometimes you’ve got to get away Always knew that I’d come back to play Just so you know, I’m not the same Had to change the way I see the game So here - I am Hope you let me come inside We don’t have anything left to hide Well I’m on my way Don’t worry baby I’m on my way Don’t give up on me now Cause I’m on my way Don’t worry baby And everyone’s gonna hear what I have to say Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Hey baby, how you been? We may get down but we get back up again Thought I’d have to say goodbye to you But I know that I’ve got so much more to do So here - I am The door is open wide Dare yourself to finally go inside Well I’m on my way Don’t worry baby I’m on my way Don’t give up on me now Cause I’m on my way Don’t worry baby And everyone’s gonna hear what I have to say Well I’m on my way Don’t worry baby I’m on my way Don’t give up on me now Cause I’m on my way Don’t worry baby And everyone’s gonna hear what I have to say Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Hey hey hey

Ride 04:35

Everybody Is dressed up for the party Makin’ sure that there’s no mystery For the masses And don’t forget your mask of self-importance And it’s thirty lashes If you mix with different classes Lie after lie ‘til you’re buried in your own mind And God forbid you should try to flash your own sign Couldn’t bear to bare your soul And you talk about freedom But you’re chained and bound to a cold, neurotic world Would you like to get off this ride? Would you like to come inside? Would you like to find a place to break down and cry? Baby it’s alright Would you like to get off this ride? Would you like to come inside? Would you like to find a place to break down and cry? Baby it’s alright Livin’ large but you’re dyin’ on the inside Yeah, you’d eat it up and drink it up ‘Til you went blind Fillin’ up your head with noise So you can’t hear All those cries for help that are comin’ from our soul Would you like to get off this ride? Would you like to come inside? Would you like to find a place to break down and cry? Baby it’s alright Would you like to get off this ride? Would you like to come inside? Would you like to find a place to break down and cry? Baby it’s alright Would you like to get off this ride? Would you like to come inside? Would you like to find a place to break down and cry? Baby it’s alright Would you like to get off this ride? Would you like to come inside? Would you like to find a place to break down and cry? Baby it’s alright Would you like to get off this ride? Would you like to come inside? Would you like to find a place to break down and cry? Baby it’s alright Would you like to get off this ride? Would you like to come inside? Would you like to find a place to break down and cry? Baby it’s alright Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Go ahead and cry baby Baby It’s alright It’s alright Baby it’s Alright It’s alright Cry cry cry… Go go ahead and cry It’s alright It’s alright It’s alright Baby it’s alright It’s alright It’s alright It’s alright

Take a good look You think you got her figured out But make a wrong move And she’ll show you what she’s all about Suffered at the hands of another Then became a wife and mother And she’ll make them all Pay – my – dear For sixteen years of fear He came from a fine home Rockwell couldn’t have painted it better No, no But her good love Her good love turned bad And she tries to leave But he won’t let her A nicer girl you could never meet But she’s carries a switch and packs the heat More pain in one day than you’ll have in year And it’s been Sixteen years of fear Oh sister, I believe you You can’t know unless you’ve been there But I was so close, until the day I learned That kind of fear will get you nowhere Nowhere Violence attracts itself to you If you’re livin’ by it’s rules And they’re already gonna Pay my dear For sixteen years of fear Sixteen years of fear Sixteen years of fear

There are no saints There are no sinners There is no race There are no winners There is no sin There is no shame There is no guilt There’s no one to blame What you believe you see It’s not you, it’s not me And disappears when you close your eyes The possibility, this is all, just a dream Turns out to be the one reality There is No world No world No world There is No world No world No world I once was lost But now I’m found I’ve come too far Can’t give up now Change your mind And change it all Get back home Where you really are What if you believed You could truly see We never suffer and we never die The possibility We could all live in peace Is just a simple matter of the mind There is No world No world No world There is No world No world No world There is No world No world No world There is No world No world No world There is No world No world No world There is No world No world No world

How can this be Now they’re gonna tell me That I’m still not over you I’ve done my time Drank too much wine Really believed that I was through Oh the suffering Then the covering So no one would ever know The wasted time Trying to right – my - mind When it’s my heart that won’t let go You still – got – me But you don’t want me You don’t want me You still – got – me But you don’t want me We’re all born alone The journey’s our own What do I still have to learn? Every day is a fight Just-to get-it right Will it happen before I burn? And still the suffering And the covering So no one will ever know All the times I nearly lost – my - mind Because my heart just won’t let go You still – got – me But you don’t want me You don’t want me You still – got – me But you don’t want me You still – got – me But you don’t want me You don’t want me You still – got – me But you don’t want me How can this be Now they’re gonna tell me That I’m still not Over You

Remember when We were convinced That we'd never be Good enough Told so many lies So it's no surprise That our road was so Long and tough The name of the game Was make believe An escape from the pain To try to be free All I really wanna know Can we ever stay close Can we ever stay close To happy All I really wanna know Can we ever stay close Can we ever stay close To happy Happy All of my life Just wanted to fly Far away from all the Fear inside The loves in my life Had to leave them behind Seems I never could be Satisfied The name of the game Is still make believe Just wanna feel Like I'm finally me All I really wanna know Can we ever stay close Can we ever stay close To happy All I really wanna know Can we ever stay close Can we ever stay close To happy Happy All I really wanna know Can we ever stay close Can we ever stay close To happy All I really wanna know Can we ever stay close Can we ever stay close To happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy

Sundays Are always The hardest Cause that’s the day I’d call you On the phone Nowadays It’s hard to say What’s hardest Cause I think of you With everything I do Our time together Is never enough This life without you Sometimes gets rough Somehow I find the strength To rise above Missing you But I still feel your love Our time together Is never enough This life without you Sometimes gets rough Somehow I find the strength To rise above Missing you But I still feel your love Someday The pain will fade I promise But when you need to cry I’ll be right By your side Believe me You were meant to be Happy Because you are love And love never dies

about

“The journey to my second solo album, On My Way, has been a lifelong one,” says Dallas-born, Austin-based singer-songwriter and percussionist Joanna Ramirez. “It is not easy to bare your soul through music, but I believe it is the only way to truly impact others and possibly inspire, comfort, heal, or just get people to dance.”

Joanna’s 11-track album is the culmination of a lifetime of experiences both musical and non-musical. It’s a soulful, heavy groove-laden, spiritual journey in song. “I see life through a spiritual lens. On this album I wanted to share my truth and be authentic, but I never want to come off as preachy,” Joanna shares. Musically, On My Way is an amalgamation of Joanna’s beloved groove influences, spanning, neo-soul, blues, hip-hop, Latin, and favorite artists such as Sade, Maxwell, Stevie Wonder, fellow Dallasite Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, and The Roots.
