Strong Again

Verse 1
For a long time I was weak
I looked around and everything was bleak
There were days when I couldn't speak
Now I'm glad to say that I'm strong again

Verse 2
Sometimes I couldn't get out of bed
There was a lot of pain in my head
There were days when I thought I was dead
Now I'm glad to say that I'm strong again

Verse 3
When I tried to walk, I would fall
Life didn't seem fair at all
There was no way of getting to the mall
Now I'm glad to say that I'm strong again

Verse 4
I was in a lot of pain
There were days when I was insane
I thought that I had nothing to gain
Now I'm glad to say that I'm strong again

Verse 5
Sometimes nothing mattered to me
I wanted to drift out to sea
I couldn't even pronounce the letter "G"
Now I'm glad to say that I'm strong again

Chorus
I am strong again
I'm filled with energy
I'm more than happy to be strong again

Nothing Really Matters

Verse 1
Pigs could fly
Birds could talk
Ants could cry
Buildings could start falling down
But I still wouldn't care at all
You make me feel ten feet tall
What we have is special
I wouldn't trade it for anything
You've given me joy and happiness
I could not ask for anything more
Things are fine the way they are

Verse 2
Unicorns and dragons could exist
As well as vampires, goblins and witches
But I still wouldn't care at all
The memories that we share are important to me
You're all that I need

Bridge
Pigs could fly
Ants could cry
Unicorns and dragons could exist
But I still wouldn't care

Chorus
Nothing really matters whenever I'm with you
You give me love that could last a lifetime
You're completely focused on me
Because nothing really matters whenever I'm with you
I give you love that could last a lifetime
Nothing really matters

In A Heartbeat

Verse 1
If you're lost and all alone
And you don't know where you should go
Just call my name and I'll be there
You won't be afraid anymore
When the night is upon you
And strange voices make you scared
Just call my name and I'll be there
You won't be afraid anymore

Verse 2
If you wish upon a star
I'll be with you wherever you are
Just call my name and I'll be there
You won't be afraid anymore
I'll shed a light down on you
To chase the darkness away
Just call my name and I'll be there
You won't be afraid anymore

Bridge
I'll always be near to help you out
Just call my name and I'll be there
You won't be afraid anymore
I will be there in a heartbeat

Chorus
Take a deep breath and call my name
I will be there in a heartbeat
It's never too late to call my name
I will be there in a heartbeat

Return To Me

Verse 1
Day after day, the grass keeps growing
As well as my sadness
Would you please cut it down?
Nothing is the same without you here
The sun is hiding and the moonlight is dim
From time to time we'd watch the sun rise
Since you've been gone, I wake up at sunset
The days are too stormy for me to handle
Even if I had a flash-light, I'd still be lost

Verse 2
It seems like the clouds won't disappear
If I could defy weather, they'd be gone
My life is like the trees that have fallen to the ground
I don't know how to lift it back up again

Verse 3
I hear the sounds of pittering and pattering
Maybe that's my heart yearning for you
I hear the sound of rumbling and roaring
They're getting closer and closer

Chorus
Return to me
The sky is grey
And rain is falling down
The wind is blowing
Come and wipe these tears from my eyes
Make me feel at home again

Hated By Many, Loved By Few

Verse 1
Everybody came to see you fit to win
And you almost did
They were looking at you, screaming at you, bad-mouthing you
Many knew you'd lose by they wanted to see you humiliated
It's like showing up for support
And then suddenly letting you down
You did the right thing by standing up for yourself
Even though others thought it was wrong
You can shake things off a tree, pick it up
Then count what you have
But in your case, you'll always have a few

Verse 2
Clearly this world is not your home
You are destined for failure
Many will celebrate your hardships and shortcomings
You're a sinner like everyone else
But some think you're the worst one
You are just a man trying to live a simple life

Chorus
You are hated by many, loved by few
Hated by many, loved by few

Can't Buy Me Love

Verse 1
You know that you can't buy me love
So why do you even try?
Love must come from deep within the heart
That way it's guaranteed to be genuine
If it comes from elsewhere, it's something else
And whatever it is, it can be destructive
That's not what love is all about
You have to be honest, caring and respectful
No amount of gold or silver can diminish the power love has

Verse 2
I don't want a Mercedes
I don't want a mansion
Or even a big screen TV
What I want are your feelings for me to be real
Not a single emotion should be fake
And if it is, I'll know sooner or later
Then you'll be spending your time all alone
You have to love me for who I am
Not the fantasy you have of me

Bridge 1
Can't buy me love
Don't even try
Don't want a Mercedes, mansion, big screen TV
Concert tickets or credit cards
Love me for who I am

Bridge 2
I don't want concert tickets or credit cards
I want you to be interested in me for me
I'm unique, I'm special, I'm a human being
Treat me the way you like to be treated

Chorus
You can't buy me love
It will never happen
You'll be wise to keep all your money in the bank
If time is money, you've already wasted a lot of it
I tell you this because it's true
You can't but me love

Going To California

Verse 1
My final destination is California
Once I arrive, I'll start a brand new life
I want to be a stranger among millions
I don't want anyone to know me
So I get into my car and drive away
Only taking with me what I need
What I leave behind doesn't matter to me
I consider it to be junk

Verse 2
The land of opportunity is what is is
I become ecstatic when the thought crosses my mind
I can imagine myself getting lost in the crowds
I'll just be another human being
I really want to live
So I'm acting that way
It's like starting over in a very special way
Once I'm in California, I'm never leaving
It will become my home

Bridge
The route I'm taking will get me closer to my dreams
It will be up to me to make them come true
Moving to California is the best decision that I've made
Metropolitans, beaches, sunshine...here I come

Chorus
I'm going to California
That's where I'll be for the rest of my life
There's many things that attract me to it
I know that is the place for me

Don't Say A Word

Verse 1
Don't say a word
I know what you'll say
Close your mouth
Pay attention to what's going on
Don't waste my time, I won't waste yours
I look into your eyes and know only what I need to know
You become frozen in time
And part of your life is up in the air
Soon a gentle breeze will run through your body
What you will experience is refreshing
A wave of emotions will splash into you

Verse 2
I feel a bit of reluctance from you
Your mind is tip-toeing to the edge
If you fall, I'll no longer have a hold on you
And I'll have to start the process all over again
I don't use spells or potions
To make the effect last, I'll build a connection to you
A wave of emotions will splash into you

Bridge
Don't say a word, don't ask any questions
Let me touch you once
What happens to you will be passed on

Chorus
Don't say a word, don't ask any questions
Follow my instructions and you will be healed
Let me touch you once
You'll be changed forever
What happens to you will be passed on

Teacher's Pet

Verse 1
He is a little, timid boy
He's soft spoken, sometimes goes unnoticed
Now he's caught in the eye of the storm
This situation is what he always feared

Verse 2
She's the new girl in town
She displays shyness when she's in school
Now she's caught in the eye of the storm
This situation is what she always feared

Bridge
They're both intelligent
That's why dome are jealous of them
So they're called names and pushed around
They endure the abuse in silence
Telling an adult has always been an option
But the risk of doing so is far too great
The fears are increasing
And they're not about to go away anytime soon

Chorus 1
Classmates have labelled him as the teacher's pet
He just seems to be the perfect student
But accolades from his teachers doesn't fill the void inside of him

Chorus 2
Classmates have labelled her as the teacher's pet
She just seems to be the perfect student
But recognition from her teachers doesn't fill the void inside of her

Image In The Mirror

Verse 1
What time is it there?
I don't have a watch anymore
I'm passing along this highway
While my inside wants out
But barricades and brickwalls are surrounding it like a prisoner
When I'm restless, I hide and seek
I don't know hot to be me

Verse 2
I eat breakfast at midnight
And I believe snow can fall in August
I'm not good and I'm not bad
Quite frankly, I don't know who I really am
Don't worry about me
I have denials and decisions to keep me company
At least I won't be alone

Bridge
If I grow up, I don't know if I'll be closer to the light
I don't know if I'll be saved or transformed

Chorus
While you weren't looking, I stole and cheated
The ugliness and regret is reflected onto me
I'm the image in the mirror
