Cream

Verse 1
I do not know anything about you
But I'd like to know something
Whatever it is you'd like to tell me
Whatever it is you'd like to show me

Verse 2
I know that it is hot
I know that it's delicious
That is why I want it very badly
I am hungry as a horse
So give me what I want right now
And then I'll be satisfied

Bridge
It's sticky, it's sweet
I haven't tested it in a long time
When it touches my lips, when it spreads on my tongue
I will gulp it down in seconds

Chorus
I want your cream
Fill me up
I'm not going to leave without getting some

In This Moment

Verse 1
In this moment I am happy
Because you are with me
There's no place I'd rather be
Than being next to you underneath the sun

Verse 2
I am smiling, I am laughing
I'm enjoying my time with you
You are so beautiful
You are very special to me

Bridge
Nothing interrupts us while we're together
In this moment my love for you grows stronger
Our bond will not break

Chorus
In this moment
I truly realize just how lucky I am
I could not ask for anything more
Everything I ever wanted, everything I ever needed
Is right in front of me
And it's in the form of you

Love Lifted Me

Verse 1
The first chapter in my life was so intense
That it didn't seem real
I kept wondering if I even existed
I knew I didn't belong
I always felt out of place
And as I aged, that feeling never went away
I stumbled, I slipped
I tossed, I turned
To get to where I am today
I took a second look and I realized
That I had to invest in my myself

Verse 2
The second chapter in my life was so confusing
That it didn't seem fair at all
I kept wishing that things would change
I knew I was alone
Ever since I was a little child
And as I aged, I thought I would always be that way
I ran, I fell
I tossed, I turned
To get to know who I am today
I took another look and I realized
That what I went through was all worthwhile

Bridge
I did not know love
Because I was afraid of it
It was something that I hadn't experienced
For such a long time I was lower than low
Thanks to love, I was lifted up
I will never forget the day that my life changed

Chorus 1
Love lifted me up to a place
I thought I could never be
I am not the same person that I once was
I am able to appreciate the beauty of this gift
That I have received
Love lifted me up and now I can see

Chorus 2
Love lifted me up to a place
I thought I could never be
I am not the same person that I once was
I am able to understand the beauty of this gift
That I have received
Love lifted me up and now I believe

No Looking Back

Verse 1
Once you leave, you can never return
All the things that were left are part of the past
The future is ahead of you
That is the path to choose
Things change all the time
There is no reason why you shouldn't
The future is ahead of you
That is the path to choose

Verse 2
Don't leave your mind behind
Don't leave your heart behind
Don't leave yourself behind
You are nothing without them

Bridge
Do not take a peek
There is nothing there for you to see
Do not try to listen
There is nothing there for you to hear

Chorus 1
There is no looking back
The past is always the past
You cannot change that so leave it alone
Don't fuss about it, don't dwell too much on it
If you do, it might kill you inside

Chorus 2
There is no looking back
Cut ties from the past
You will be free at last, if you want to be
Don't wonder about it, don't worry about it
If you do, it might kill you inside

War Against The Weak

Verse 1
God forbid if you're ever homeless
Living on the streets is worse than people think
May God help you if you live in poverty
Struggling to find food to eat
Is harder than most people think

Verse 2
God forbid if you ever lose your job
Finding another one is harder
Than most people think
May God help you if you are ever sick
Battling a disease is more exhausting than people think

Bridge
God forbid if you're ever hopeless
Having no reason to live is worse than people think
May God help you if you lose faith
Not knowing who to believe
Is more terrifying than people think

Chorus 1
There's a war against the weak
The ones who cannot speak
The ones who are small
There's a war against the weak
The ones who are fragile
The ones who are lost

Chorus 2
There's a war against the weak
The ones who are vulnerable
The ones who are afraid

Going The Other Way

Verse 1
I looked up to you, thought highly of you
I even wanted to be more like you
I listened to every word that you said
And I accepted them as the absolute truth
I was wrong to associate myself with you

Verse 2
I respected you, thought the world of you
I even wanted to be just like you
I observed every action that you made
And I tried to imitate what I saw
I was wrong to associate myself with you

Bridge
I've had an epiphany
I realized who you really were
And I did not like what I found
So I am making a choice to be different from you

Chorus 1
I'm going the other way
I will not follow you
I will stay true to myself
I'll be able to sleep at night

Chorus 2
I'm going the other way
I will not follow you
I will stay true to myself
I'll be able to sleep at night
My conscience will be clearer
I will be happier
So this is my goodbye to you

One Moment More

Verse 1
One moment more
To wonder, to discover, to appreciate
One moment more
To dream, to wish, to explore
One moment more
To understand, to accept, to celebrate
One moment more to live

Verse 2
One moment more
To hope, to pray, to answer
One moment more
To smile, to help, to rest
One moment more
To remember, to excel, to cry
One moment more to breathe

Bridge
Happy today, lost tomorrow
Life is full of joy and sorrow
Sometimes we get lucky
Other times we are ignored
Here today, gone tomorrow
Sometimes we don't return what we borrow
Other times we give what we gain
One moment more can change the course of a lifetime

Chorus
One moment more
To dance, to feel, to laugh
To be who we want to be
One moment more
To listen, to learn, to love
To know what is important to us
One moment more
To reason, to explain, to inspire
To be able to grow

Into My Heart

Verse 1
Nothing good lives inside of me
Everything about me has changed
I don't like who I have become

Verse 2
I see myself as being hopeless
There's not much I can do about it
I don't like who I have become
And many others don't either

Verse 3
I live my life the way I see it
What others say about me is unimportant
What others do is of no concern to me
I'm unable to control people and events around me
Even if I could, I would only make things worse

Chorus 1
Hate has seeped into my heart
I have turned into a monster
My anger frightens everyone around me

Chorus 2
Sadness has seeped into my heart
I have turned into a monster
My despondency frightens everyone around me

Chorus 3
Indifference has seeped into my heart
I have turned into a monster
My apathy frightens everyone around me

Outro
Nothing good lives inside of me
I see myself as being hopeless
I live my life the way I see fit

Wide Awake

Verse 1
They tried to hide the truth
But I uncovered it
What was presented to me was misinformation
They tried to intimidate me
But I stood up to them
What was presented to me were scare tactics
For too long I believed in what I saw
For too long I believed in what I heard
For too long I believed in what I read

Verse 2
They tried to weaken me
But I become stronger
What was presented to me was lethal
They tried to rob me
But I caught onto them
What was presented to me was a false sense of security
For too long I believed in what they talked about
For too long I believed in what they did
For too long I believed in them

Bridge
Yes, I was blind to what was in front of me
I felt that things weren't the way they seemed to be
Now I am wide awake
And that's more than I could ask for

Chorus 1
I see everything that I didn't before
Now I am wide awake
I know everything that I need to know
Now I am wide awake
I hear everything that I didn't before
Now I am wide awake

Chorus 2
I see - I am wide awake
I know - I am wide awake
I hear - I am wide awake

Hush!

Verse 1
The train is rolling by
The airplane is flying high
Vehicles are caught up in a jam
Hush! Hush! Hush!
The stereo blares out music
The host is talking up a storm

Verse 2
The baby is crying out loud
The door is being slammed shut
The flag is wavering violently all hour
Hush! Hush! Hush!
The violin is being played
The soldiers are marching in step

Verse 3
Some people are wailing
Others chant as they're protesting
The birds are chirping while I'm resting
Hush! Hush! Hush!

Chorus 1
This never-ending noise is here to stay
But I won't put up with it today
I want more things to go my way
Hush! Hush! Hush!

Chorus 2
This never ending noise is here to stay
But I won't put up with it today
I want more things to go my way
Hush! Hush! Hush!
Hush! Hush! Hush!
