After The Fall

Verse 1
If you could predict the future
Would you have chosen a different path?
Does that really matter even after you have fallen?
It's always inevitable
It would have happened anyway
But I guess the sooner, the better so you can change your life

Verse 2
You live, you learn
And mistakes are unavoidable
If they were then everyone would be flawless
But that doesn't mean you don't have to know the rules
You're responsible for everything you do or don't do

Bridge 1
There's so many questions you have to ask yourself
And you don't know where to begin
You don't look scared, but I know you are
Not knowing something can be frightening

Bridge 2
Guilt can consume you like a virus and kill you
But there's a cure that eradicated it from your body
What you need to do is confess
Admit what you have done wrong
That is the first step to take
One day you can break away from the shackles
That have been placed upon you
And then your life will never be the same again
After the fall, you can become whole again

Chorus
After the fall you will want to be redeemed
For all of the sins you have committed
And you hope that you will be forgiven
To be cleansed is what you want to achieve

Shadows And Light

Verse 1
Shadows and light hide and reveal you
You are so beautiful
It's a shame that you don't realize it
You should be proud of who you are
If you aren't then you can change yourself
How about now?
But only do it because you want to
And not because people tell you to

Verse 2
Shadows and light hide and reveal you
You are intelligent
You should be proud of who you are
If you aren't then you can change yourself
How about now?
But only do it because you want to
And not because people tell you to

Verse 3
Like a shadow, you blend in perfectly
When people see you
They don't know if it's really you
Suddenly your appearance becomes clearer
I see you for who you truly are
I am not clouded by your image
But that doesn't mean I know you completely
I'd like to get to know you better
Maybe we can become friends
We'll let the light surround us throughout our lives
It is special because it never fades

Chorus
You are rarely seen by others
But wherever you are, your kindness brings out the best in you
It is felt everywhere you go

Standing Together

Verse 1
We used to be divided
But now we're united
Enemies we once were
Friends we are now
The war we fought only pushed us to hate each other
Knowledge and wisdom made us stand together

Verse 2
We always compete against one another
Winning was the only way to prove we were superior
Losing was disgraceful
It simply meant that you were weak
Seeing the other suffer was the ultimate goal

Bridge 1
There's no longer angry voices
We're not afraid anymore
We lived a life of fear
But now we live in peace

Bridge 2
Pain and suffering were a way of life
After awhile we were used to the bombs and the guns
When we were attacked, we just had to retaliate
Even if it meant we could die

Chorus
We are standing together
There's no insults or violence
We were apart
But now we are one
The bond that we've formed will become stronger
As the years pass us by

Lemonade & Brownies

Verse 1
Lemonade is always sweet just like you
It has no drop of bitterness at all
Brownies are delicious
And I'm sure that you are too
Why don't you try some?
I made them especially for you

Verse 2
Gold and silver are worth a lot of money
And many people wish that they had plenty of it
But what good are they when you need to quench your thirst
Your mouth would be so dry
You wouldn't be able to speak

Bridge
They'll be plenty of sunny days
Days when we have picnics
When you're with me
There will never be a dull moment
I'll make sure of that
And when we're not in the mood for cuisine
We can always do something else
Variety is the spice of life
So I have been told

Chorus 1
At this moment in time
Lemonade and brownies are what I can offer to you
But if you choose to stay
You'll get so much more from me

Chorus 2
At this moment in time
Lemonade and brownies are what I can offer to you
But if you choose to stay
I will fill you up with my love

I Know Where I'm Going!

Verse 1
I have been waiting to cut ties from everyone I know
Only for a short time as I venture out on my own
I'm at an age where I want to do as much as I can
Tomorrow always arrives sooner than we expect

Verse 2
I'm going on a retreat, going on a trip
Going on a journey of self-discovery
Call it what you like
It won't lessen the importance of it
Don't worry about me
I've got road maps
But more importantly, I have your love and support

Bridge 1
My arrival to where I'm going will be memorable
My experiences will be life-changing
I cannot wait to get there
My heart is beating faster in anticipation
This is a cause for a celebration
But I guess I'll have to wait once I've settled down
I've got so much to do
I don't know where to start
I'm so glad to be alive
I couldn't ask for anything more

Bridge 2
My arrival to where I'm going will be memorable
My experiences will be life-changing
I cannot wait to get there

Chorus
I know where I'm going!
I know what I'm doing
I realize how important this change is

Falling Apart

Verse 1
Since you left, I've been falling apart
My body is in pain as well as my heart
I fell head over heels for you
You told me that you did too
But that wasn't enough for you to stay
You said goodbye to me, then went on your way
I've been trying to get out of bed
I can't because I feel like I'm dead

Verse 2
I try to understand why I'm falling apart
Why I rarely get out of the dark
I'm just not hitting the mark
At first I was in denial
I put myself through a trial
Then I realized you were really gone
They say life goes on, but mine is stuck
For you to be with me, I need luck

Bridge 1
I'm living in a state of confusion
I'm living in a state of anguish

Bridge 2
You're all I think about
The emotions I feel make me want to shout

Chorus
You're all I think about
The emotions I feel make me want to shout
They make me cry
They make me want to hurt myself
I was at a certain point in my life
Where I was happy and had what I needed
Now my life is falling apart

Wrap Your Arms Around Me

Verse 1
Honey, baby, I see you looking at me
The look is your eyes says you want to come over and talk to me
I turn my head away
Then you approach me
You're right in front of me
I feel something between us
But I don't know what it is

Verse 2
I am getting higher
Almost touching the sky
Soon enough I'll be in a state of pure ecstasy
But I want that moment to be now
You'll be with me just like a dream come true
We'll be connected; caressing each other's body
We'll be savouring every second
This feeling is burning deep within me

Chorus
Wrap your arms around me
Never let me go until I say so
I want to be closer to you
I want to share sweet kisses with you; touch you gently
To always be held by you
Kept safe in the palm of your hand
I know you want the same

A Face In The Crowd

A face in the crowd looks like it's deformed
A face in the crowd looks like it underwent surgery
A face in the crowd has too much make-up on
A face in the crowd looks like it hasn't been washed in a week

Look closer and you will see

A face in the crowd looks like it 's malnourished
A face in the crowd looks like it didn't get a good night's rest

Look closer and you will see

A face in the crowd looks very familiar
A face in the crowd has been exposed to the sun for too long
A face in the crowd has no eyebrows at all
A face in the crowd has tears falling down both cheeks

Look closer and you will see

A face in the crowd looks very beautiful
A face in the crowd sends chills right to the bottom of my spine

Look closer and you will see

Drowning In Secrets

Verse 1
As the days pass me by
My grip on reality is weakening
I feel it in my body
This weight that I have bared is heavier than I thought
No one in this world can lift it off of me
I am not sure if I can

Verse 2
I'll have to try harder
For if I don't, I will surely end up at the bottom of the waters
One option is to reveal who I am and what I know
But I'm running out of time
I must make a decision now in order to save myself

Bridge
I'm starting to feel guilty
For thinking I should betray myself
I don't know how long I can live with these secrets
If I reveal them, my life will never be the same again

Chorus
I'm drowning in secrets
Every one of them settles in my mind
It's becoming harder to forget them
No one can hear my calls for help
I'm sinking deeper and deeper
