Welcome to ‘Triumph'. This is the third CD created by Clinton Swaine and Rick Mathews. It is the culmination of overcoming personal challenges for both of them. Clinton in business and relationships and with Rick and his health. With the type of songs on this CD I cannot think of a more appropriate name for this album. Each song, from the inspirational title track ‘Triumph – In Destiny's Hand', to the trainings songs of ‘Mastery – Rise Above' and ‘Pursuit – Golden Dreams' to the rock songs of Ricky ‘Rockon' Robinson and the fun ‘Pretty – Its a Pretty World' each songs brings a smile to our face as soon as we hear it. So be touched, inspired and filled with joy. Welcome to your Triumph!!

BACKGROUND
This song was a different creation for Rick and I. It was the title track and yet the last song to be written. We came up with the name half way through the creation of the CD and realized it captured the spirit of what was coming together. Then our graphic designer produced this Cover and we knew we nailed it.
I normally write the lyrics and give them to Rick to put music to. This time he said I have the music for this song already done and you need to come up with lyrics to match. We collaborated and the lyrics came together like magic and this song can bring tears to my eyes especially on those tougher days.
LYRICS
Counting cars by the side of the road
Full of dreams I knew even then
There was something inside
Something was different about me
I could lead my country
Stand up strong
And fulfill any dream
I chose to take on
Still I felt so small
I was ready to escape
and run from it all
Oh. With every block I faced
I kept the faith
I would find a way
A way that I would…
CHORUS
Triumph over hurt
I would Triumph over pain
And Overcome My fear
And Step it up again
I celebrate victory
As I go down in history
My message strong and proud
I shout it out loud
Hear me now
Whoa-oo-ohh I will triumph
As I gave my life
For why I'm here
I could let my heart
Love all I hold dear
I could no longer hide
The greatness I had inside
Ohh, in a flood of tears
I began to feel free
And shed the heartbreak
So I could…
CHORUS
And I know my legacy I will leave
Destiny, it grabbed me by the hand
And I know right at this moment
I can reach up to the stars
Oh. With every block I face
I'll keep the faith
I'll find a way
A way that I will…
CHORUS
I will triumph
I will triumph
I will triumph
Ohh Yeah
I will triumph
(Triumph over hurt)
(Triumph over pain)
I will triumph
(Overcome my fear)
(Step it up again)
I will triumph
(I will find a way)
(I will triumph)
Hear me now
(Triumph over hurt)
(Triumph over pain)
(Overcome my fear)
(Step it up again)
Triumph
(I will triumph)
(Triumph over hurt)
(Triumph over pain)
(Overcome my fear)
(Step it up again)

BACKGROUND
In my training room we look for many songs to provide inspiration. We frequently use ‘Simply the Best' by Tina Turner and ‘We are the Champions' by Queen and as I reflected I had never heard a song about being Number One. So we decided to create that song. This song is a song for a team about pushing through and standing strong and having the supreme confidence that they ARE number one for a reason.
LYRICS
We're Number One
We all pull together
And chase the dream
Working All as one
We are a chmpionship tem
We play hard with heart
We are always having fun
We work hard and celebrate
It's why we're number one
CHORUS
We're Number One
We're Number One
Chasing our dream together
We're Number One
We'll follow the sun
Winning is our theme forever
We're Number One.Yeah!!
Others may quit
When the going gets rough
We just get stronger
Cos we're mentally tough
You can't shake us
Pull us from our game
Every spare second
We constantly train
CHORUS
We live for the challenge
That life has in store
We'll find the answer
And have victory once more
We work united
Each one being strong
Standing invincible
When the game goes long
So when things look bleak
And it is all on the line
You can bet on us
Every single time
1-2-3
CHORUS
CHORUS
Cos We're Number One. Yeah!!
We're Number One. Yeah!!
We're Number One.

BACKGROUND
One of the biggest areas of growth in my life was when I was creating a number of personalities to teach how to be a facilitator. One of them was a movie director, another was an old time coach and another was a cheerleader. For me to teach this material on stage I needed to become a cheerleader as I had no experience. I enrolled in classes and began learning to tumble. Cartwheels, Roundoffs, Back Handsprings, Back Tucks etc. It was addictive watching the body become so agile.
After a period of time we wrote the profile of the cheerleader who was called ‘Bobbie-Sue Numbawon'. In her profile we wrote that since the age of five she was addicted to cheer, gymnastics and dance. We decided to move into gymnastics; floor routine, beam, bar and vault. Tough. One of the most challenging things I have ever done. As a gymnast there is only one goal and that is Gold at the Olypmics. So we started on that path. And this song is capturing the spirit of Bobbie-Sue as she goes for GOLD!!!
LYRICS
Ooooh. Ooooh. Oooh
Ooooh. Ooooh.
Golden Dreams
1-2-3-4
I'm going risk
I'm going to be bold
All the way
I'm going for gold
No time to relax
No time to rest
It's the only choice
I could make
For this journey
That I undertake
I face every challenge
And be the best
CHORUS
Going for the gold
I'm going for gold
Faster, higher, strongers my creed
Since that day
I planted the seed
GOLD..and all the world will know
That I did it all
For all that I believe
These Golden Dreams
I face my fears
And blow right through
With gold in mind
I'm going train and train
And train all day
I'll wake up early
Get out the door
I'll train and train
Then train some more
I will improve
In every way
CHORUS
Golden Dreams. Oo-Ooh
Golden Dreams
I fall down
As I push my limit
But get back up
And get back to it
The blood, sweat and pain
Are a small cost to pay
There is only one
Against who I compete
As I look in the mirror
I can face defeat
and if I do there is
No one else to blame
Or I can be strong
And look right back
Train even harder
And stay on track
When the day arrives
That I compete
Perfect result
In every way
I'll get my gold
At the end of the day
The training pays off
My performance complete
CHORUS
These Golden Dreams
We all got our dreams
Oh Yeah.. (Golden Dreams)
Well I know that there
Is someone Training hard
All over the world
They come from near and far
And know where they are going
They're aiming for the stars
And I know theres a girl
Named Bobbie-Sue
Going to make
All her golden dreams come true
In a London Town in 2-0-1-2
(Golden Dreams)
I remember growing up watching a video of Michael Jordan reflecting back before he won his first championship and the struggles his team took to find themselves as the Masters of the NBA. On the video was a song called ‘Learning to Fly' by Tom Petty. I LOVE this song and when I wanted a song about training I pulled inspiration from here, however not all the lyrics in his song made sense to me so when I wrote it I made it clear about the pain and hurt that it takes to be a champion.
The result was this incredible, stirring and inspiring song about what it takes to be a Master at anything.
LYRICS
As they stand back in awe
They never saw the pain
The thousands of hours
That I took to train
All the hours alone
Refining my skills
While the others parties
Having cheap thrills
CHORUS
Mastery..My choice is mastery
In life I define
How great I will be
I'll rise above
And they all will see
Again and again
I practice non-stop
Never going to quit
Till I reach the top
I wouldn't trade a minute
Of the hurt and heartbreak
That allows me to soar
And to be first rate
CHORUS
Mastery. From deep inside of me
With passion and love
I'll train each day
I will improve
In every single way
Methods in my goal
To stand out from the rest
For Mastery in my field
To become the very best
I dream of excellence
Perfection I pursue
As a master I am true
Ooh. Aah. Ooh. Aah.
I make it look effortless
Like a natural art
What they don't see
Is my tireless heart
CHORUS
Mastery. From deep inside of me
With passion and love
I'll train each day
I will improve
In every single way
CHORUS
Mastery. From deep inside of me
With passion and love
I'll train each day
I will improve
In every single way
Mastery..Mastery
BACKGROUND
As mentioned earlier one of my ‘faculty' members who teaches at Frontier Trainings is the cheerleader ‘Bobbie-Sue' and after watching all the ‘Bring It On' movies she wanted to have her team cheer recorded. The one on Bring It On is not really inspiring and so We put her song together and finally when it was recorded it was sensational. We love this song and we are so looking forward to when we complete the video of this song and have a complete dance troupe do a Cheer routine including baskets and pyramids executed to perfection.
LYRICS
Go Heroes Go!!
Go Heroes Go!!
Go Heroes Go!!
Watch as we succeed
See our heroes show
We dance, we cheer
Our team has no fear
We tumble, we throw
We're always on the go
Who you ask are we
Open your eyes and see
We are Cheerleader
Cheerleaders
Cheerleaders
Cheerleaders!!!
CHORUS
We are the Heroes
The mighty, mighty Heroes
When we come to play
You can call it a day
We are here to win
Any less would be a sin
We are the Heroes
The mighty, mighty Heroes
Let's go Heroes. Let's Go
Let's go Heroes. Let's Go
At the very start
Our team plays with heart
Their the very best
From the east to the west
We jump. We leap
Into the air we soar
We smile. We flip
We let out a mighty roar
Victory is ours today
There is no other way
We always play full out
So we can yell and shout
CHORUS
We celebrate our team
As they drive to their dream
We cheer out loud
Our team makes us proud
All together now
Go Heroes!!!!!

I was in a creative mood, and was thinking about the great song Barbie Girl by Aqua and while I was sitting out in the corridor at an event speaking with Rick two of our good-looking staff approached.
Rick said ‘Gee Clinton you sure know how to get the pretty ones!'. As the girls came closer I shared this with them and they shrugged and said ‘Well Yeah!!'. I went straight inside and in five minutes I had written this song.
I gave it to Rick who had his guitar and he put it together in an hour and the girls were singing it two hours later. Pure Spirit (and fun!)
LYRICS
CHORUS
It's a Pretty World
For a Pretty Girl
Beauties everywhere
With long, wavy hair
Big Pouty Lips
Ready for A kiss
With looks like this
No party I'll miss
Fun to be pretty
Gotta look great
Looking my best
For my hot date
Shimmery, Shiny
Gorgeous and Hot
Looking this good
Staying home I'm not
It's time to get out
Out on the town
In my pink convertible
Driving all around
So pretty in pink
Used to all the stares
So many boys I think
I'll have to share
CHORUS
I'm a Pretty Girl
I'm a Pretty Girl
I'm a Pretty Girl
Fun to be pretty
Loving all of life
Having a wild time
Never getting into strife
Living every moment
No second to spare
Just enough time
To tidy up my hair
Wearing my bikini
As I sit by the pool
Getting checked out
Ah life is so cool
Life is so fun
It's such a delight
So many friends
I'll party every night
CHORUS
I'm a Pretty Girl
I'm a Pretty Girl
I'm a Pretty Girl
I'm a Pretty Girl
Let's Get Out of Here
We're out
Let's Party

I love this song. It reminds me so much of a Disney princess song or a broadway play where the girl gets to dream about her ideal man. So whether a man like this really exists it is nice to know that for a while at least we can dream
LYRICS
Ooohhh Yeah
So long did I wish for
With every heart beat
For my knight in shining armor
To sweep me off my feet
He finally arrived
And took my breath away
As he proposed suddenly
At the twlight of the day
My life just gets better
Every moment that we spend
Sharing each other
A garden for each to tend
CHORUS
He is a hunk. He is my hero
He is the man in my dreams
Who lifts me up high
And is always on my team
He is strong like a rock
Yet gentle like a dove
He is the reason I live
And the focus of my love
He's my hero.
The man of my dreams
He is my gorgeous man
Who holds me so tight
So I can sleep soundly
Until the morning light
He kisses me gently
To wake me for the day
And shares his love for me
To get me on my way
I love him. I love him
With all of my heart
He holds me in his arms
Like a gorgeous piece of art
CHORUS
Each moment is eternal
Life we do share
Entwined in love
With deep loving care
CHORUS
Man of my dreams

I wanted to do a song for a long time about males and females. For years I thought it was going to be a duet and then I had the idea of writing the masculine songs for Ricky and then a matching song for a female. It is amazing hearing the feedback from ladies who hear it and go yep you nailed us. How did you know? Well that at least is a secret!! LOL!!
LYRICS
Waking every morning
With a hundred things to do
I juggle so many tasks
So life is easier for you
There is no easy answer
To understand me all the time
Life moves in circles
Not in one straight line
I can laugh. I can cry
I can be weak or strong
I can change so suddenly
Or it can last so long
CHORUS
I am the woman
So love me the way you see
So simple, yet so complex
So loving and so free
I am the woman
So love me for all I am
A carer and a healer
A mother to a son
A leader and an organizer
Who gets it all done
I am the woman
I am the perfect princess
So beautiful in the land
That men cannot stop from
Fighting for my hand
I am the purest angel
So radiant in the light
That men stand in awe
Who gaze upon my sight
I am the high priestess
In mystery I do hide
Revealing my intentions
When the time is right
CHORUS
I am free to the queen
but also the wife too
And be yours forever
Holding our love so true
CHORUS
So love me for all I am
I am the woman. Oh Yeah
I love being a woman

Here is the matching song to Femininity. This song was written for Ricky ‘Rockon' Robinson from Ricky and Razors. Ricky and I were talking about how woman finally get the strong, tough man and then the first thing they want to do is change him. This song is to tell the woman that it is time to love your man for who he is. And for men it is time to be a man.
LYRICS
I am the Man
Every minute of every day
The man I choose to be
In every single way
I'm the world and I'm free
Free to be the warrior
Who fights for your dreams
Who defends all we have
When all is lost it seems
Free to the cowboy
Rounding home the goals
Bringing them home safe
From the Pits and the holes
CHORUS
I'm the man. I'm the man
I am the man. That's what I am
So love me for all I am
Man of freedom. Man of love
Man of hope and of light
Man of adventure. Man of strength
Who dreams of taking flight
So take me for who I am
All the man that I am
Cos I am the man
Free to be the rockstar
Living larger than life
Playing full out
On the edge of a knife
Free to be the athlete
To push for first place
To give it all up
And win the final race
Free to be the explorer
Playing in the wild
Away from any adults
Innocent as a child
Free to be the king
Over everything that I own
Sitting back thinking
On my golden throne
CHORUS
Man of science. Man of steel
Man the hunter every day
To bring home the meals
To keep The wolves at bay
Take me for who I am
All the man that I am
Cos I am the man
Free to be the hero
Overcoming any block
With a body to die for
Abs cut like a rock
Free to be the husband
A father and the man
A lover and your champion
Let me be who I am
CHORUS
So love me for all I am
Man who is free to be knight
Riding his horse
Riding to save the damsel
At her demand of course
Take me for who I am
All the man that I am
Cos I am the man
I'm your leader. Your preacher
Your daddy. I'm Your teacher
I'm your lover if you dare
Look for me I'll be there
Oooohhh I am the man
Thank you. Now go out and be a man!

Ricky finally returned to tour after a eight years+ layoff. On his first tour, a fan came up and called him washed up and a has been and then pushed him. Ricky flew into a rage and then broke the guys arm and drove his face into pavement all in front of the media.
He was arrested on assault and the judge who was and is a huge fan said ‘Ricky you have such a massive influence instead of fining you which is meaningless to you, your sentence is to write a song to empower the world.' The result was ‘Impact – I'm Going To Change the World' and a worldwide number one!!
LYRICS
Going to speak my truth
Going to speak my dream
I speak out loud
Whatever the mean
Whether to juust one
Or all I meet
I will speak on out
And share the heat
The passion, the fire
The desire to share
To leave an impact
To risk and dare
CHORUS
I'm going to change the world
I'm going to change the world
I'm going to change the world
Its who I am
I'm going to change the world
I may start big
I may start small
However I start
Everyone I'll enthrall
I'll capture their attention
As they closely listen
I'll begin to share
And paint my vision
With a burning fire
For the world to shift
To do my part
To help it uplift
CHORUS
I'm going to change the world
I'm going to change the world
I'm going to change the world
It's where I stand
I'm going to change the world
I'm making a difference
Yes I am
Making a difference
Because I can
An impact I'll leave
Can you see
Why not play big
And come join me
I'm making a difference
Yes I am
Making a difference
Because I can
I'm going to leave a legacy
Of the difference I can make
In a better world
That I helped to create
Speaking as a leader
Around the globe
Taking my message
I confidently strode
I speak with my voice
My whole body too
using my beingness
To communicate through
CHORUS
I'm going to change the world
I'm going to change the world
I'm going to change the world
It's where I stand
I'm going to change the world

During one of trainings we were talking about taking risks and what scared people is not Daring To Be Great what really scares people is to risk and to fall down flat on their face in front of their peers. So we introduced the term ‘Dare To Suck', which captured the energy of the risk. For month Rick had been saying you should right a song called Dare To Suck. Finally I agreed and wrote it in six minutes. It was one of the most favorite songs he has ever written and puts a laugh on almost every face. So here's to Dare To Suck
LYRICS
Hey Man..
Maybe this won't be so bad
Feeling kind of scared
Feeling chicken
Today's the day
Time moving on
The Hands keep ticking
Gotta find a way
I'm going to take a risk
I'm going to dare
I'm doing what I say
Take a bold step
And finally share
Its going to be OK
CHORUS
Going t be bold
Going to take a chance
Step up and risk
Cos life is a dance
And I'm taking a deep breath
Going Dare to Suck
I don't care how I look
Shape my future
Create my own luck
Don't give a flying tuck
Going Dare…Dare…Dare
…Dare to suck
Gotta give it a go
Prepare to be bad
I'm stepping up now
First is my worst
The result can be sad
But it is not about how
It doesn't matter
Because this is my first
And I'm feeling hot
And my first will always
Be my worst
And I'll take my shot
CHORUS
And man do I suck
Dare to suck
Dare to suck
Feeling sick
I think I want to chuck
Stomach churning
Feeling I'll
Going on and on and on
Through sheer will
And I'm taking a deep breath
Going Dare to Suck
I don't care how I look
Shape my future
Create my own luck
Don't give a flying f-tuck
Going Dare…Dare…Dare
…Dare to suck
Yes I suck….
Oh Dare to Suck
Do I have to?
I'd rather jump off a building
Stick needles in my eyes
Root Canal…No novacaine
Oh I guess I have to
Here I come
I will dare to suck

I had just come back from a meeting with Ricky and other key faculty members of Frontier Trainings when I went off for a massage. After the massage I sat in a little Korean restaurant and had some food and this song just poured out. It is the title song for Ricky's ‘Cut the Crap 2009 Tour'. It is amazing to hear him sing it and have the whole auudience actively participating.
LYRICS
Hey you on the left
You on the right
And you in the middle
Who cannot decide
Cut the Crap
Its all going, going to hell
It's all falling apart
When will the leaders
To allow world peace to start
While there is children
Living in the street
Soldiers getting
Blown off their feet
It is time to stand up
And turn up the heat
Its time to Cut, Cut,
Cut the Crap. Yeah
Enough of the lies
Enough of the bribes
Listen up leaders
Now is the time
So cut, cut, cut
Cut the Crap. Yeah
Cut the Crap
And lets get out of this trap
Wake up the whole world
Has been taking a nap
So cut, cut, cut,
Cut the Crap
When the world needs
More guns than food
Certain races we can exclude
When civilities gone
Everyone's rude
Whoever said there is not enough
The world is abundant
If we just get tough
If we look in the mirror
And look real hard
We can see we dealt
Ourselves this card
We can cut, cut,
Cut the crap
CHORUS
Time to be real
And stop the rage
Stop pointing the finger
And get out of your cage
Time to own up
To what we've done
We can change the world
And finally be one
Its Ok for politicans to steal
When there are families
That can't get a meal
Cut, cut, Cut the crap Yeah
Enough of the lies
Enough of the bribes
Listen up leaders
Now is the time
So cut, cut, cut
Cut the Crap. Yeah
Cut the Crap
And lets get out of this trap
Wake up the whole world
Has been taking a nap
So cut, cut, cut,
Cut the Crap
Cut, Cut the Crap. Yeah
Cut the Crap
Its time to call it a rap
Wake up the whole world
Has been taking a nap
So cut, cut, cut,
Cut the Crap
Yeah!! Everybody Cut It
