Crazy For You

Verse 1
Love is deaf as far as the ear can hear
I looked around, you were standing right there
I had no time to hide myself
If I did, you would have already left

Verse 2
Love is blind as far as the eye can see
It makes no difference if you're not the same as me
I honestly like you just as you are
Sometimes I think of you as my shining star

Bridge 1
Somehow you seem to be perfect
I just can't explain it
I just can't believe it
But my heart is telling me you're real

Bridge 2
I can no longer be elusive
I will be inclusive about how I feel for you
It will be exclusive

Bridge 3
When you come near
My heart starts pounding
My inner voice resounding
Telling me to make the first move
With a kiss on your soft lips
I hope that you do not flip

Chorus 1
I am crazy for you
Yes, it's true
I don't remember the exact moment when I fell for you
I am crazy for you
Being with you is the only thing I want to do

Chorus 2
I am crazy for you
Yes, it's true
Tell me if you feel the same way too
I have fallen for you
Yes, it's true
Everything old is suddenly new
You have definitely won me over
I've never been head over feet until now
You are so much of everything
I will give you a try
If I choose not to, I would be living a lie

To Bring You My Love

Verse 1
To bring you my love
I will rise above
To any obstacle or challenge I may face
I will not quit
I'm in it till the very end
No matter what happens
For you, I will always have a hand to lend

Verse 2
You won't be alone
Once I'm in your life
All of the pain, all of the strife
Will be a thing of the past
When you cry, they will be tears of joy
When you dream at night
You'll always feel just right

Bridge 1
I'm not a crazy person
I am certainly not a foolish man
I'll do what I can to show you my love
To prove my love
To bring you my love

Bridge 2
I'm not the smartest guy
I am certainly not a clueless person
What you see is what you get
I am not in debt, I am not a threat
I am not ready to marry you yet

Bridge 3
You do not need to worry
I will always be by your side
When you get scared
There's no reason to run and hide
I promise to spend the rest of my life loving you completely

Bridge 4
To show you my love (2x)
To prove my love (2x)
To bring you my love (5x)

Chorus
To bring you my love
I will accept you just the way you are
To bring you my love
I will not deny you anything
To bring you my love
I will share what I have with you
To bring you my love
I will become one with you

Back To The World

Verse 1
I was away, I have returned
Let me tell you what I have learned
It's important to be kind
It's important to be honest

Verse 2
My retreat was very sweet
I'm able to stand on my own feet
I am excited about coming back
I'd like to see what I have missed

Verse 3
When I left, I was feeling low
Now I am grounded
There's a calmness instilled within me
Now I am stable

Verse 4
I don't feel out of place
But I do feel like a new person
That is because I am
I can't believe how much I've changed

Chorus
I have come back to the world
I left to rediscover my myself
I have come back to the world
I left to gain a new aspect on life

Me Against The World

Verse 1
I've been in a battle against the world
Fighting evil forces all on my own
I am a one man army
And I will not stop until I have won

Verse 2
I have a sword, I have a shield
I have everything I could possibly need
I take some hits, I get wounded
To bring me down
They are going to have to try harder

Verse 3
The war declared against me rages on
Propaganda about me is widespread
My enemies are vicious
My opponents are fierce
It will be a cold day in Hell before I surrender

Bridge
I will not back down
No matter how many bombs are thrown my way
This is the fight of my life
I'm giving everything that I've got

Chorus 1
Round one: Me against you
Round two: Me against the city
Round three: Me against the state
Round four: Me against the world

Chorus 2
Round one: Me against you
Round two: Me against the city
Round three: Me against the state
Round four: Me against the world
Me against the world
Me against the establishment
Me against the status quo
Me against the network

Something For Everybody

Verse 1
Some like it hot to a fever pitch
Some go crazy when they've got
A scratch to itch
Very few can do the moon walk
The ones who say they can - it's all talk
Flamenco, lambada
There;s so much to choose from
Make up your mind
While the night is still young

Verse 2
Walk in, put on a smile
Do whatever it is that you do
Only you can start something new
Meringue, salsa
There's so much to choose from
Make up your mind before the night ends

Bridge
Slam your body to the left
Slide it to the right
Run to the front
Shake yourself all the way to the back

Chorus 1
There is something for everybody
Yes, there is, there always is
There is something for everybody
Here it is, come and get it

Chorus 2
There is something for everybody
Move over and make some room
There is something for everybody
You will find what you're looking for
There is something for everybody
One size never fits all
There is something for everybody
No matter who are you
There is something for everybody
Hurry up, come get yours
There is something for everybody

Save Me

Verse 1
Save me from the circus clown
He's a scary looking man
Save me from the shopping crowd
They might trample over me

Verse 2
Save me from a busy-body neighbour
She has too much time on her hands
Save me from the drug dealer
Who wants me to be his handler

Bridge
Save me from people
Who claim to be on my side
They are working against me

Chorus
Save me from the police man
He's corrupt - gets favours on the side
Save me from the thief of the night
Who goes around stealing hearts
Save me

Rumour Has It

Verse 1
They say I love you
But I'm not completely sure
I think I could be your knight and shining armour
If you need a shield and a sword
I will provide one for you
They say I'm an average Joe
And that you're way out of my league
I don't think it's silly
To wear sunglasses at night
Besides, what would you rather wear as a disguise

Verse 2
They say you love diamonds
And a lot of fancy things
If you need the bare necessities
I will provide them for you
My bank account is larger than my I.Q.
But I profess not to be a millionaire
I'm just like millions of other guys

Bridge
Rumour has it that I'm going to run for office
Rumour has it that you'll join a convent
Rumour has it that I'll join a monastery

Chorus 1
Rumour has it that I love you
Rumour has it that you hate me
Rumour has it that we're going to star in a reality show
Rumour has it that you have gained a lot of weight
Rumour has it that we are rich

Chorus 2
Rumour has it that we're moving out of the country
Rumour has it that I'm addicted to drugs
Rumour has it that you are a control freak
Rumour has it that we're in counselling
It seems that everything we do
Or say is taken out of context
If only you and I were invisible
We'd be able to live our lives

Got Your Back

Verse 1
If you ever slip, I will break your fall
When you're afraid, I will soothe your fears
When you feel lonely, I will comfort you
When you're feeling low, I will lift you up

Verse 2
If you feel unappreciated, I will thank you
If you want to keep yourself
I will respect you
If you feel restricted, I will set you free
If you're looking for a friend
You can come to me

Verse 3
When you feel tired and want to rest
You can let me hold you in my arms
It's warm like a nest
If you don't like how you appear in the mirror
Look into my eyes because to me you are beautiful

Chorus 1
I got your back, you have mine
I will never desert you
I will never push you away
I will be with you every day
I'm a man of my word
You can always count on me
I got your back
And I know that you have mine

Chorus 2
I got your back, you have mine
I will never desert you
I will never push you away
I will be with you every day

I Love You

Verse 1
When it came to being lucky
I thought I was cursed
When it came to living someone
I thought I was the worst
Because I couldn't say those three little words
When things started to be exciting
I thought I was bored
When they said I was beautiful
I thought they were joking
Because I didn't think I was
I have never had a wonderful feeling
I wanted to keep
When I look into your eyes
An emotion of pure happiness and content washes over me

Verse 2
When I was much younger
I was wild and out of control
I thought that was the way to be
Like everyone around me
I made bad decisions
That got me into trouble
I did not take responsibility for my actions
I blames others instead
Never knowing that what I had done was wrong

Bridge 1
When it came to being friendly
I thought I wasn't nice enough
When it came to being special
I thought I was plain
I didn't appreciate myself

Bridge 2
When it came to being happy
I didn't know how to be
When it came to being peaceful
I always felt uneasy
Like something was missing from my life

Chorus
You came to love the real me
Someone many people did not see
You came to understand me
Someone many people did not believe
That is why I love you

Escape

Verse 1
I'm surrounded, I'm boxed in
I need to escape
I'm pointed out, I'm looked at
I need to escape
I'm trampled on, I'm pushed aside
I need to escape
I'm feeling hungry, feeling tired
I need to escape
I'm dying inside
I have no place to hide
No one was ever been on my side

Verse 2
I'm laughed at, I'm ignored
I need to escape
I'm kicked at, I'm punched at
I need to escape
I'm broken, I'm scattered
I need to escape
I'm feeling thirsty, feeling powerless
I need to escape
I'm dying inside
I have no place to hide
No one has ever been on my side

Bridge
I've never been much of a fighter
But I must fight for my life
Even is it's the last thing I do
I will leave with no regrets

Chorus
If only I was born to run
I would race out of this dungeon
I will not accept what I've been dealt with
I will escape sooner or later

Cut The Cake

Verse 1
You display dedication
To many things that you do
Your commitment has always been sincere
It shows me that you really care

Verse 2
If there's a problem to solve
You get down to it
Even if the odds are against you
Challenges may seem insurmountable
You're always ready to tackle on something new

Bridge 1
I have never known anyone
Who is as optimistic as you are
You know what you want
And you go out and get it
Even when some people try to discourage you

Bridge 2
You're a good person
Don't be modest about it
Your heart is always in the right place
If everyone were more like you
There wouldn't be any lazy people

Bridge 3
You can have your cake and eat it too
You are honest in every thing that you do
You show gratitude, you show compassion
The love inside of you has made you strong

Bridge 4
Cut the cake, it's time to celebrate
Don't ever be ashamed of who you are

Chorus
Cut the cake, it's time to celebrate
You have achieved success
Your accomplishments are remarkable
As well as your work ethic
You never give up, you work real hard
You're an inspiration to many
Don't ever be ashamed of who you are

Flying On My Own

Verse 1
From the very moment I was born
You have loved me
Everything you did was for me
And I want to thank you
You were always there for me
Even when I got into trouble
I knew that I could count on you
And I still do even to this day

Verse 2
I feel as free
When I fly around many things I dreamed about
I experience many things life has to offer
I am touched by the beauty of it
Sometimes I cry when I think about the memories of you and I
It comforts me deep inside

Bridge
I have gained knowledge from you
I have acquired wisdom
The joy inside of my heart
Spreads through me entirely
Without your guidance, without your endless love
I would not know how to spread my wings
I would not be flying on my own

Chorus 1
I am flying on my own
You nurtured me, you encouraged me
To spread my wings and fly through the sky
I know who I am inside
I know my strengths and weaknesses
I will fly way up high
With you always in mind

Chorus 2
I am flying on my own
You nurtured me, you encouraged me
To spread my wings and fly through the sky
I know who I am inside
I know my strengths and weaknesses
I will fly way up high
With you always in mind
I will be just fine whenever I am
I know this because you told me so

The Colour Within Me

Verse 1
I have tried to get myself out of the hole
That I've been in for such a long time
When I take a step up
I take two steps down
At this point, I have given up

Verse 2
What's the point of dreaming
If it won't become real
What's the point of wishing
If it won't come true
What's the point of asking for help
If no one will lend a hand

Bridge 1
Black represents a deep void
I have always felt in my life
Blue expresses my sadness
Grey shows the confusion I feel

Bridge 2
When life gives you lemons
You can't always turn them into lemonade
So why insist on changing what you can't change
It's a waste of time
I am apathetic towards many things people deem important

Chorus
The colour within me is black
The colour within me is blue
The colour within me is grey
Nothing matters to me anymore
Life is so depressing

Who'll Stop The Rain?

Verse 1
Who's my friend? Who's my foe?
Show yourselves to me and let me know
Who tells the truth? Who tells lies?
Show yourselves to me, not your disguises
Who is a liberal? Who is a conservative?
Show yourselves to me and your motives
Who is greedy? Who is generous?
Show yourselves to me and let me know

Verse 2
What does life have in store for me?
If I could know, I would be more prepared
Will I ever find true love?
If I do, will it be sent from up above?
Where will I spend most of my time?
What would happen if I bet my last dime?
When will I be free of the danger that surrounds me?

Bridge
Who can I turn to?
Who should I run from?
Who can I talk to?
Who should I stay away from?

Chorus
Who'll stop the rain from falling on me?
Who'll take away my pain?
Who'll teach me not to become vain?
Who'll prevent me from acting insane at any time?

Takin' It To The Streets

Verse 1
Rich man, poor man
Good cop, bad cop and a criminal
In an interrogation room
Sweet old lady, mean teenage girl
Who thinks the world revolves around her
Let me tell you that it does not
It never has and it never will
That is the way things are
Don't get angry at me
I've got a message for all of you
So listen very closely
Life is what you want it to be

Verse 2
Illegal alien, undocumented worker
Or whatever they call you
Stop hiding in the shadows
Tell the nation that you are here
And you refuse to leave
Demand equal rights
If the authorities don't handle the drug problem
In your neighbourhood
Start a community coalition
That will drive the dealers out of there
Once and for all
Power exist in every one of us

Bridge 1
Stand up for what you believe in
Protect anything that is endangered
If you think politicians and the police
Will always be there for you
Then you are foolishly mistaken

Bridge 2
Special interests and lobbyists are powerful
Because we allow them to be
It's time that we stop complaning
We have to act now for the best interest of all
Everything you do or don't do affects everyone
Because we are all connected
If you don't believe me
Well you have the right not to
I'm just telling you how I see things

Chorus 1
I'm takin' it to the streets
Everyone will hear what I have to say
This is our world
So we must reclaim democracy

Chorus 2
I'm takin' it to the streets
Everyone will hear what I have to say
This is our world
So we must reclaim democracy
The sooner, the better
Let it spread like a wildfire
The world is what you want it to be

Smooth

Verse 1
You have a smell that is intoxicating
It is the kind that drives me over the edge
When I get wrapped up in the scent
It feels like I fall into ta pool of pleasure
I swim around for hours on end
Losing track of time is what you make me do
When I go to sleep, I dream about you
You rock my world
Baby, you really do

Verse 2
Time stops every time you look at me
I get lost in your alluring eyes
And when you look away
The hold you have on me slips away
You make me feel like walking on thin ice
I feel so lucky that I don't need a dice
The beat of my heart is blaring out
I am unable to tone it down

Bridge
Yo are hotter than July
I need you to quench my thirst
Fill me up with the coolness of you
Dry me off with your hands

Chorus
You're smooth just like silk
I want to touch you all over
You are so beautiful
I just can't look away
You're smooth just like silk
I want to touch you all over
You are so beautiful

Step By Step

Verse 1
Things change but some things never do
I'm wide awake
You thought that I would play the fool
I've got a ride out of this miserable town
Everything I didn't take
Was meant to be left behind

Verse 2
I didn't like it when I was pushed around
The space between you and I needs to get wider
It's such a thrill to know
That I'm leaving this town
Everything I didn't like
Was meant to be left behind

Bridge
The journey that I'm on is an endless one
I will get to know myself
And appreciate everything that I am

Chorus
Step by step I am changing
Step by step I'm looking onwards to the future
Step by step I'm becoming wiser
Step by step I'm forgetting about my past
Step by step I will be far away from you

Verse 1
I hope that you'll be here soon
I cannot live another day without you
These times are confusing
These times are frustrating
My mind aches for you

Verse 2
There is nothing but pouring rain falling down on me
I think I'm going insane
These times are troublesome
These times are lonesome
My heart aches for you

I never thought that I would ever be alone
I always assumed you would be with me
Maybe this is a lesson for me to learn
Not to take you for granted
If that is the case, I promise I never will

The Song Lives On

Verse 1
The Barenaked Ladies will be here on one week
According to Jann Arden you are insensitive
Christina Aguilera knows that she is beautiful
Like Madonna, I believe music makes people come together
Bryan Adams is till stuck in the summer of '69

Verse 2
Corey Hart never surrenders
Like Alanis Morissette, I think some things are ironic
Sheryl Crow is my favourite mistake
Maybe Janet Jackson wants to runaway
Missy Elliot doesn't like gossip folks
Snow used to be an informer
Now he has reinvented himself

Bridge
Sky sang a love song
Sarah McLachlan has been touched by an angel
Tom Cochrane says life is a highway
Celine Dion has felt the power of love
Their songs live on
Forever and for always

Chorus
The song lives on in our hearts and memory
The lyrics have never been forgotten
We remember where we were when we heard the tune
And what we were doing
And if we were with someone
When we hear the song it brings us back in time
Flashes of the past appear in our mind
We start to sing along, even dance along
The beat goes on, the song lives on

Brand New Man

Verse 1
I'm a brand new man
I have left my old life behind
I no longer smoke
I don't drink alcohol
I even go to church

Verse 2
The rain has washed over me
It cleansed my soul, it renewed my faith
I acquired knowledge about so many things
I truly have been blessed

I envision all my tomorrows
With better clarity than before
I see myself living the life

Say Anything

Verse 1
I am looking at you
You're the only still thing in my surrounding
I want to talk to you
Somehow your lips just will not move
What do I have to do
To make you utter a word tonight

Verse 2
You don't know how I feel
When you ignore me
When you pay no attention to me
My heart breaks into a thousand pieces
I feel worthless, I feel unwanted
What do I have to do
To make you speak to me tonight

Chorus 1
Say anything, anything at all
I want to hear your voice
Break the silence between us
It's making me nervous
These awkward moments keep me wondering about you
I need you to open up to me

Chorus 2
Say anything, anything at all
I want to hear your voice
Break the silence between us
It's making me nervous
I want to scream at you
I want us to engage in a fight
Then I will know where I stand with you
Give me something to work with tonight

Just One Night

Verse 1
When I first saw you, I couldn't take my eyes off of you
You were so beautiful
You completely stood out from the crowd
When you smiled, your face lit up bright like the sun
I had to approach you before you went on your own way
I couldn't let you walk away without getting to know you
So when we talked, I hung onto every word you said
I was transfixed on you

Verse 2
I cannot let you go when I want you
We formed a connection that was real
I'd do almost anything just to get to you
I'd go anywhere just to be closer to you
The little time I spent with you seemed to last for hours
It was as if you and I were frozen in time
It also felt like I had known you all throughout my life
When you danced with me, I remembered every move we made
We blended so perfectly

Bridge
I thought I heard you
Calling out my name
I know I am not going insane
Ever since you left, there's been nothing but rain
And my entire body has been in pain

Chorus 1
Let me be with you
For just one night
Let me kiss you mouth to mouth
Let me hold you hand in hand
Let me love you for just one night

Chorus 2
Let me be with you
For just one night
Let me kiss you mouth to mouth
Let me hold you hand in hand
Let me laugh with you for just one night

Chorus 3
Let me be with you
For just one night
Let me kiss you mouth to mouth
Let me hold you hand in hand
Let me cherish you for just one night

Things We Do

Verse 1
I listen to your phone conversations
I read your emails
I follow you around
And I'll continue to do so

Verse 2
You sometimes talk behind my back
You disregard my feelings
You don't respect me the way you should
When I'm with you, you're condescending

Bridge
I'm suspicious of your behaviour
Sometimes you think that you're my saviour
I choose my battles carefully
Your obsession with details drives me crazy

Chorus 1
Those are some of the things that I do to you
I guess I'm the jealous type
Sometimes I trust you
But when I don't, I pry into your life

Chorus 2
Those are some of the things that you do to me
I guess you feel I'm inferior to you
Sometimes you treat me like an equal
But when you don't, you put me down

Chorus 3
Those are some of the things that you and I do
We know we're not the perfect type
At least we agree on something
Rather than disagreeing on everything
We'll continue to work out our differences
So we can stop doing what we do now
Hopefully we'll realize that what we do is hurting the both of us
Or is it too late?

It's All True

Verse 1
I tried with all my might to love you
So I searched deep within my heart
And deep within my soul
To the places where I thought I could find the answers
And when I did, I could spend the rest of my life with you
But I got lost
I must have taken a wrong turn
Now I don't know where I'm supposed to go from here

Verse 2
I tried to be honest with my feelings whenever you were around me
I just could not keep pretending
Just could not keep hoping that I felt the way you did about me
You have to know why I won't be around much longer
If I keep putting it off, I won't be any stronger

Chorus 1
I don't know how to love you
I don't want you
I no longer need you in my life
Please run as fast as you can
Go as far away
If you don't, I will have to say
That's it's all true

Chorus 2
I wish that life treats you well
I'm not happy if you can tell
But I want you to be, even without me
I don't want to play any games with you
I won't treat you like a fool
You now know how I feel
By baring my soul, you know it's all true

If It Was You

Verse 1
Weren't you the one who lied to me
When I asked for the truth?
Weren't you the one who cheated on me
When I expected faithfulness?

Verse 2
Weren't you the one who slapped me across the face
Whenever you became angry?
Weren't you the one who put me down
When I had something to say?
You always thought you were smarter than me

Bridge
You claimed that you were perfect
But I saw your flaws
When I confronted you on whatever you did
You simply brushed them aside
You came home late, you drank too much
If you did all those things
Why are you still in my life?

Chorus
If it was you who broke my heart
Then why can't I let you go?
I should have thrown you out
I should have cursed at you
But I did neither
I guess I still love you

Boulevard

Verse 1
Everybody's not on the boulevard
You have to be rich or powerful
You have to be famous or influential
You have to be smart or beautiful

Verse 2
The residents are upscale
Some receive plenty of fan mail
When they get arrested, they pay a large bail
You can download their bios on a website somewhere

Bridge
Money exchanges through a lot of hands
Favours are made, promises are broken
Some are born with a silver spoon in their mouths
Some think they are entitled to better lives
Scandals and trials are nothing new
It just adds more fuel to the rumour mill

Chorus 1
On the boulevard
The lights are always shining
There are people everywhere
So you're never alone

Chorus 2
On the boulevard
The pavement seems to be smoother
Even though the street is crowded
People always find ways to get noticed

Chorus 3
On the boulevard
Life is always interesting
You never know what will happen
No wonder millions are intrigued

Say You Will

Verse 1
Promise me that there's no other but me
Say that I'm the one you have always wanted
Feel my desires, experience my pain
Have the sense to believe we were meant to be

Verse 2
Wipe away my tears whenever I cry
Hold me whenever I'm feeling lonely
Inspire me to become a better person
Believe that I can do whatever I put my mind to

Bridge
I need to feel love when it's given to me
I want to be the one you cherish endlessly
No matter what happens we should always stay together
Be patient with me
Love me for who I am

Chorus 1
Say you will love me unconditionally
Say you will never leave my side
Make me feel whole, make me feel complete
Say you'll be mine for life

Chorus 1
Say you will love me unconditionally
Say you will never leave my side
Make me feel whole, make me feel complete
Say you'll be mine for life
I promise you that I will do the same

Tear Down These Walls

Verse 1
Tear down these walls that surround your heart
I want to get to know the real you
When I look into your eyes there's a spark
But I don't know what it is exactly
Whatever it is, I want to know
Please don't be afraid of me
Maybe someday we'll be friends

Verse 2
Tear down these walls that surround your mind
There's no such thing as too much intelligence
There is no shame in being smart
You have a good head on your shoulders
But sometimes your mind is closed
Try to expand your way of thinking
Please don't be afraid of me
Maybe someday we'll be friends

Bridge
When I start to know you, I will trust you
Put your guard down
If you want to be honest
You have been missing chances to form bonds
You need to be true to yourself

Chorus 1
Tear down these walls
Let love enter your heart
You won't be able to connect with anyone on deeper levels
I know it's easier said than done
But you're going to have to try or you will be alone
For the rest of your life
So you need to make a choice now

Chorus 2
Tear down these walls
Let love enter your heart
You won't be able to connect with anyone on deeper levels

The Dreamer

Verse 1
He's not ignorant or stupid
He believes in whatever he believes
He's intuitive and smart
He knows that he is making sense

Verse 2
The paralyzed will walk
The mute will engage in conversation
The depressed will be content
The blind will be able to see themselves

Bridge
He's quiet, but interesting
There's a side of him that's mysterious
His voice is conforting
And his presence is strong
But I really don't know who he is
The deaf will hear music
The angry will become satisfied
The lost will all be found
The scared will have nothing to fear
We are all in God's hands

Chorus 1
Love will surround us
Hope will fill our hearts
Faith will be our cure
Happiness will be in our grasp
Joy will be nearby
Peace will be achieved

Chorus 2
Determination will fill our hearts
Empathy is what we'll have
Understanding will fill our minds
The beauty of everyone will be shown for all to see
We will all become one big family

While You Can

Verse 1
You talk about travelling around the world
so why don't you?
You talk about visiting your grandmother in the nursing home
So why don't you?
You should do whatever it is you want to do now
Before it's too late

Verse 2
You talk about living down under
You love it there
So why don't you
You talk about getting a dog
Ever since you were 10
So why don't you
You should do whatever it is you want to do now
Time is ticking away

Bridge
You should do whatever it is you want to do now
Go and seize the day

Chorus 1
Do it now while you can
If you don't, you'll be regretful
You never know what tomorrow may bring
You don't know what your life has in store
If you don't do it
Nobody is going to do it for you

Chorus 2
Do it now while you can
If you don't, you'll be regretful
You never know what tomorrow may bring
You don't know what your life has in store
If you don't do it
Nobody is going to do it for you
You're not getting any younger
Do what you can right now

Anger

Verse 1
I'm down on my luck
Nothing goes my way
It's getting harder just to make a buck
Tomorrow seems to be like yesterday
Why don't you ever shut the hell up?
Your voice is annoying and so are you

Verse 2
There is not enough time in a day
I get frustrated when I don't know what to say
My blood pressure rises
I get shut out, I get ripped off
I get nothing but a scoff

Bridge
Why do you have to ask how I'm feeling?
Can't you see?
I'm angry

Chorus 1
Anger - inside if me
I can't let it go
This is me

Chorus 2
Anger - inside of me
I can't let it go
If I do, who will I be?

My Ride's Here

Verse 1
The days are getting shorter
And time is passing me by
Sometimes when I think about my life I cry
I don't want to be lazy
I want to amount to something
At this moment in time I have nothing
You are not the ruler of me
I am

Verse 2
I will always need help
Just like everyone else
But I will always try my best
This is not a race to the finish line
I'll go at my own pace

Bridge
As I look out my window
I see a world full of opportunity
I'm going out there to reach my potential
I can't afford to be in here
Wasting every moment
I only have one life to live

Chorus 1
My ride's here
I've got to go
I won't be coming back home
So this is goodbye
We'll never see each other again
You are part of my past
I must create my future

Chorus 2
My ride's here
I've got to go
I won't be coming back home
I must create my future

Hold Your Fire

Verse 1
You think you're right and I am wrong
You think I'm guilty and you are innocent
You think you're smart and I am dumb
You think I'm afraid and you are brave

Verse 2
You think you're good and I am bad
You think I'm ashamed and you are proud
You think you're happy and I am sad
You think I'm weak and you are strong

Bridge 1
You think I should pay for what I'm accused of
You only see what you want to see
You think I'm ugly and you are beautiful
You think you're rich and I am a poor
You think I'm crazy and you are sane
Given the chance, I'll prove you wrong
Then you'll know I was right all along

Bridge 2
You think I should pay for what I'm accused of
You only see what you want to see

Chorus
Hold your fire
Don't shoot at me
I need more time to plead my case
Why the rush to judgement?
The result is a lot of consequences

First Time In A Long Time

Verse 1
I've been down, I have felt low
Spun around not knowing where to go
There was no place I could call home
I've been sick, I have felt weak
Stayed in bed for countless weeks
I was slowly losing my will to live
Now I have found it

Verse 2
I had no friends, had no family
Everything was all about me
Now I have people as a part of my life
I had people as a part of my life
I had no hope, had no faith
I felt as if I was out of place
I waited all this long
Now I feel like I belong

Bridge
Everything old is new again
I'm able to live again

Chorus
I smiled for the first time
I cried for the first time
I laughed for the first time in a long time
I can't remember when I last felt this way
I have never felt so alive

Drinking Coffee Elsewhere

Verse 1
The service you provide is unprofessional
Your attitude is a bit disgraceful

Verse 2
I'm putting my money where my mouth is
I have advised others to boycott your business

Verse 3
Money is power
And I have a lot of it
Not a penny will go into your pockets

Bridge
I won't pay attention to your discounts
I will throw your flyers in the garbage
I'm leaving your company for good

Chorus
I'll be drinking coffee elsewhere
I'm leaving your establishment
I no longer like the way you conduct yourself

Willing To Wait

Verse 1
I just can't get enough of you
You are the first and last thing
On my mind each day
When I'm with you, my face lights up
And when I smile, it stretches from ear to ear
I feel cared for, feel important
You make me the centre of your universe
It's like I'm the king of the world
And everything I want is within my reach
But you say you have to go away
I don't want you to
But it's not up to me

Verse 2
I want you by my side
Instead of talking with you over the phone
You got me through the days
I was able to sleep comfortably through the nights
My heart is taking over my brain
I'm going insane

Bridge 1
I wasn't sure if I really loved you
Now that you are gone
I really know that I do

Bridge 2
You are my life
You are my world
I love you so very much

Chorus
I am willing to wait
I will not be going anywhere
I will be right here when you come back

I'm Alive And On Fire

Verse 1
I exploded onto the scene
I'm in shape, fit and lean
I'm an idol, I'm a star
I live in a mansion, I own two cars

Verse 2
I had dreams, I had wishes
When I was broke I was washing dishes
I quit my job, moved out of town
Now I'm feeling safe and sound

Verse 3
I was on Dateline, I was on 20/20
Soon I will be on CNN
I've got a movie deal
I've got a clothing line
Everything in life seems to be fine

Verse 4
I'm a winner, I'm a survivor
I'm not a fan of MacGyver
I sign autographs, I go to parties
The paparazzi can't get enough of me

Chorus 1
I'm alive and on fire
Look at me now, I'm almost everywhere
I'm alive and on fire
People are shouting my name
They're acting like they're insane

Look at me now, I'm almost everywhere
I'm alive and on fire

No Longer My Concern

Verse 1
I put my heart and soul into us
Everything I did was all for you
You were always on my mind
You came first while I came second

Verse 2
I placed my life on hold
All my efforts went into making you a success
We built a life together
But you deceived me
How can I ever trust you?
How can I believe you again?

Bridge 1
I loved you, you didn't love me
I cared for you, you disrespected me

Bridge 2
Why did you use me?
Why did you hate me?
Why didn't I see through you?

Chorus
You are no longer my concern
I'm not going to yearn for what we had
Because it was based on lies
You felt nothing for me
We were never really happy

Who Do You Think You Are?

Verse 1
The killer of the night
The thief of hearts
The king of the world
The whore of the neighbourhood
The person of the year
The athlete of the week
The employee of the month
The artist of the day

Verse 2
The robber of the town
The gossiper of the workplace
The mother of the year
The loser of the class
The weak of the weakest
The strong of the strongest
The smart of the smartest
The cool of the coolest

Verse 3
The president of the company
The cleaner of the washrooms
The maid of the rich family
The hot thing of the hour
The DJ of the station
The owner of the store
The scene stealer of the show
The friend of an addict

Chorus 1
Who do you think you are?
A rising dream or a falling star?
Who do you think you are?
A forgotten dream or a shining star?

Chorus 2
Who do you think you are?
A broken dream or a bright star?
Who do you think you are?
A beautiful dream or a stolen star?

Asleep At The Wheel

Verse 1
I thought I was beautiful
Until I looked in the mirror
I thought I was happy
Until I couldn't smile anymore
Things rarely seemed worthwhile
I thought I was peaceful
Until I became angry
I started to hate people
Even those I did not know
I had sunk very low
I was losing track of what was going on around me
I didn't care about anything
Not even myself

Verse 2
I thought I was grateful
For having food and a shelter
In truth, I was not
I always wanted much more
Even needed things that I longed for
I thought I was able to love someone else
But I couldn't because I was afraid
Afraid of being me

Bridge 1
I thought I was a nice person
Until I was told I wasn't
I thought I could be anything I wanted to be
Until I realized that not all dreams come true
That is just the way things are

Bridge 2
The weight of life is on my shoulders
I can't carry it anymore
I'm sinking further into the ground
And if I can't get up
Maybe I wasn't meant to

Chorus 1
I have been asleep at the wheel
Dreaming about all the raw deals
That have been given to me
Miserable is how I feel
Everything I am is too real for me

Chorus 2
I have been asleep at the wheel
Dreaming about all the raw deals
That have been given to me
Miserable is how I feel
Everything I am is too real for me
Insanity could be my destiny
Then I would not remember who I became
It's the same as being asleep at the wheel
