Our Song

Verse 1
Our song is being played
So take my hand
Let me hold you as we dance
When I look into your eyes
I see the love I have for you
And the love you have for me

Verse 2
Our song is being played
I just can't sit and listen to it
I must dance
This moment is perfect because you are in my arms
I would not change a single thing
Our song is as beautiful as you are

Bridge
Our song is being played
This moment is special
It feels to me like time is standing still
As you and I are dancing
When the song comes to an end
I will still be with you
I will love you more than I ever have

Chorus 1
Our song is being played
Let's relive all the memories of yesterday
And the day we fell in love

Chorus 2
Our song is being played
Let's relive all the memories of yesterday
And the day we fell in love
The only person that matters to me is you
I could not ask for anything more
Your love has permanently filled a hole in my heart
Your love makes me live every day

Holiday For You

Verse 1
Sometimes you drive me crazy
You drive me off the wall
That's when I can't take it anymore
I start to throw things at you
I am yelling at you
That's when I want you out of my sight
Deep down inside I know I love you
I'll be leaving you
I won't be coming back soon

Verse 2
We argue a lot
We rarely agree
Sometimes I feel you don't listen to me
We fight every battle that comes our way
Not knowing we must choose
The ones that are worthwhile
Deep down inside I know you love me
I'll be leaving you
I won't be coming back soon

Bridge
Spending time away from you
Is the smartest thing I've done in awhile
I am putting my mind on hold
I should have done this a long time ago

Chorus
I am taking a holiday from you
I need to spend time on my own
I do not know when I will be returning
So don't sit around and wait for me

This Heart of Mine

Verse 1
Most of the time, you are kind and funny
But the other times, I feel uncomfortable around you
You become erratic and irrational
I am the one who has to calm you down
Your behaviour is unpredictable
and that worries me the most

Verse 2
You try to place me in a box
You try to have me all figured out
But you haven't the slightest clue
As to who I really am
If you would listen to whatever I said
Then you would get to know me
But you think you are right all the time
And that you know what's best for me

Bridge 1
The love that you have for me is a different kind
I just cannot accept it
I don't have the same feelings that you have for me
I have a different point of view
One that doesn't include you

Bridge 2
I know what I want
And you are not it
I feel restrained when I am with you
You are too complicated for me to handle
I don't want to be with you

Chorus 1
This heart of mine is not strong enough
For your love because it's the killing kind
This heart of mine is not strong enough
For your love because it's the choking kind

Chorus 2
This heart of mine is not strong enough
For your love because it's the exhausting kind
This heart of mine is not strong enough
For your love because it's the scary kind

My Romance

Verse 1
I never felt that I was beautiful
I never thought that I was wonderful
I felt that I was ugly
I thought that I was boring
Since you came into my life
Everything just seems so right
It's a feeling I always want to keep
Solace and peace

Verse 2
I know that I have nothing to fear
Because you are always near
I can tell you anything
I can be myself in front of you
The more I think about it
The harder it is to describe it
The way that you cherish me
And the way you look at me

Bridge
A love so strong
I'm praying nothing could go wrong
And I feel that nothing ever will
Bliss no longer eludes me
It is a part of me forevermore
I cannot get up
Because I am drunk with joy

Chorus 1
My romance is like a fairy tale to me
I cannot believe that it is real
Love is what I can finally feel
My romance is like a dream to me
There are many sweet things I can see
Love is what I can finally feel

Chorus 2
My romance is like a fairy tale to me
I cannot believe that it is real
Love is what I can finally feel

Can't Keep It To Myself

Verse 1
Yesterday I saw something
Something that was very shocking
I still cannot believe it myself

Verse 2
This new discovery is bigger than me
Why was I the one to stumble upon it?
Either way, the world will know about it

Verse 3
The media will jump on this story
Like a tiger attacking its prey
They will tear it apart for all to see
Some might say that it does not exist
While others will accept what they see as proof

Chorus 1
I can't keep it to myself
I have to tell everyone I know
And when they hear it
They will not believe it

Chorus 2
I can't keep it to myself
I have to get it off of my chest
It doesn't belong to me
It's not mine to keep

Outro
Yesterday I saw something
This new discovery is bigger than me
The media will jump on this story

In America

Verse 1
Dissenters shall be punished
If they disagree with the president
There is a price to pay
If you don't toe the line
The cost could be minor or very expensive
But that doesn't matter much
Because you are paying for something
That should be free

Verse 2
Some liberals think the country
Thinks the way they do
From time to time
They experience a rude awakening
Conservatives are not better
Not by a long shot
They divide voters with wedge issues
Like abortion, guns and God

Bridge 1
Hypocrites say they believe in the Constitution
Then they turn around and deceive the public
Many are afraid to stand up against them
In fear of being unpatriotic

Bridge 2
Real matters are swept under the rug
The truth is always distorted
A president can be impeached
For lying about sex, not about a war

Bridge 3
God forbid if you ever encounter the right-wing machine
They make examples out of their opponents

Chorus 1
In America
You can't do whatever you want to do
You will be arrested
You can't say what you want to say
Political correctness gets in the way
We are all to blame

Chorus 2
In America
You can't do whatever you want to do
You will be arrested
You can't say what you want to say
Political correctness gets in the way
We are all to blame
Remember what democracy means
Government of, for and by the people

Farewell

Verse 1
Farewell, goodbye
I'm leaving to live my life
I've been in the spotlight
Ever since I was a child

Verse 2
I made friends, I made enemies
I was the best I could be
Even when I was tired
I put on a brave face and gave my all

Verse 3
I was a loser, I was a winner
Like everyone else, I am a sinner
I've made my share of mistakes
But I took the time to learn from them

Verse 4
I've been up, I've been down
Now I'm heading homeward bound
I've been away for such a long time
I can't wait until I return

Chorus
Farewell, goodbye
I'm going away, starting today
Farewell, goodbye
To all my fans: Please, do not cry

This Body

Verse 1
This body is capable of lovin' the right person
This body is capable of fallin' down
This body is capable of cryin' out in pain
This body is capable of wishin' on a star

Verse 2
This body is capable of prayin'
This body is capable of standin' on its own
This body is capable of movin' on
This body is capable of askin' for what it wants

Verse 3
This body is capable of laughin' out loud
This body is capable of havin' a lot of fun
This body is capable of knowin' what is right
This body is capable of sharin' with others

Bridge
This body is mine to keep
It's more priceless than a jeep
If you want a piece of it
Prove to me that you deserve it

Chorus
This body belongs to me
This body was not made for you
This body belongs to me
This body is nobody's fool

I Only Have Eyes For You

Verse 1
Things happened quickly in the span of two months
Then they ended abruptly
I had fallen for you during that time
You were everything I was looking for
Intelligent, outgoing and beautiful
We also shared similar interests
Even though we belonged to different generations
We instantly connected
I was opening myself up to you
For a while, you did the same thing too

Verse 2
When I was seeing you
I knew many aspects of your life
Since you were a child in rural Manitoba
And as a college student in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A.
When you were laid off from your job
I spent nearly two days with you
Knowing that you needed a friend by your side
And when you just wanted to hang out, I was there
Supplying laughter and a warm smile
So many dinners, quick and delicious
Many memories, joyous and hurtful

Chorus 1
Oh no, what went wrong?
I thought that we had something going on
Give me a reason to believe
That things will work out in the end between you and I
Oh oh, ooh ooh
I want to be your lover
I only have eyes for you

Chorus 2
Oh no, what went wrong?
I now feel that you were leading me on
Giving up on you is what I won't do
That is the same way of saying
I do no want to be with you
Oh oh but I do
I realized that I fell in love with you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Show that you love me too

The Wound And The Bow

Verse 1
Take one day at a time
It's not a sprint, it's a marathon
Although days pass quickly
What was still is
Remembering everything would be unbearable
Remembering nothing is impossible
Some thoughts are unforgettable
They're embedded in the mind
When they resurface in a conscious state
Past becomes present

Bridge 1
Back, to the start, once again
Trying, to learn how to live, in changing times

Verse 2
Once fear is realized
It's difficult to be bold
Surrendering is effortless
The head and eyes face the ground
If a challenge occurs and the result is a loss
Then breaking down even further can destroy the soul
A deterrent to overcoming despair
Is knowing how harsh things can be
It's as powerful as a raging storm
Unforgiving, unrelenting

Bridge 2
Broken, always pierced, to the core
Struggling, to forgive, in changing times

Bridge 3
Rarely alone, solitude is elusive
Stifling, without mercy, in changing times
Back, to the start, once again
Broken, always pierced, to the core

Chorus
The wound and the bow
What's in me and what you held
The wound and the bow
What surrounds me and what reigns supreme
The wound and the bow
What's hidden and never healed
The wound and the bow
What's constricting and what's oppressive
