I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Verse 1
I do not want what I haven't got
I don't need what I couldn't afford
Whatever I already own is fine with me
Living in a mansion is not right with me
Driving a Rolls Royce is not right for me

Verse 2
I don't want to be a zillionaire
I don't need a trophy wife
My friends don't have to be well-connected
I am just a man trying to do the best I can
I'll never be perfect
So I don't try to be

Verse 3
I'm not a supermodel
And I don't want to be
Being a celebrity is just not me
I never had dreams of being a rock star
I don't want to live on a tour bus
Spending time away from home is not for me

Chorus 1
I do not want what I haven't got
I don't need what I couldn't afford
Living a simple life keeps me humble
Keeps me secure
This is more than I could ask for
I do not want what I haven't got

Chorus 2
I do not want what I haven't got
I don't need what I couldn't afford
Living a simple life keeps me humble
Keeps me secure
This is more than I could ask for
I do not want what I haven't got
Just leave me to myself
And I'll be just fine

Pay Attention

Verse 1
It's a matter of respect
It's a life apart
It's a labour of love
It's a few simple words
It's a dream fulfilled
It's a little moonlight
It's a leap in the dark
It's a final season

Verse 2
It's a day's work, a day's pay
It's a sentence of their own
It's a way to move on
It's a family gathering
It's a question of conscience
It's a good tip for a good time
It's a walk in your shoes
It's a hundred days off

Verse 3
It's a thousand country roads
It's a kiss to remember
It's a place our own
It's a place to stand
It's a face in the crowd
It's a special day
It's a sudden change of heart
It's a love supreme

Chorus
Pay attention to what's going on
Open your eyes
Pay attention to what is not said
Listen closely

Shadows On Our Skin

Verse 1
We have always been captives of our own making
Tied to chains for the rest of our lives
Thinking that we could never be who we are

Verse 2
We are our masters, we are our prisoners
But more often than not, we act like slaves
Doing what we are told
Saying what we think is right

Verse 3
We are consumed with thoughts
Of what other people think of us
We look at ourselves in the mirror
And we are ashamed
Because we know we are rarely honest
But we're scared of coming to terms with who we are

Chorus
There are shadows on our skin
We are hiding from ourselves
Each time we lie, we hurt a little more
We're afraid of truth

Coat of Many Colours

Verse 1
I am a coat of many colours
As I age, I don't get dumber
Even though I'm not a doctor
I know how to take care of myself
For the most part, I'm a good person
I don't go around committing crimes
On a few occasions I am mean and rude
But I am still an average dude

Bridge 1
I'm not a one dimensional person
I'm not even a caricature
I am someone who has needs and skills
I have more to offer

Verse 2
I make mistakes just like everyone
I even know that I'm not the perfect son
I try my best whenever I can
But you all know it's not easy, man

Bridge 2
I'm not a one dimensional person
I'm not even a caricature
I am someone who has wants and qualities
I have more to offer

Bridge 3
I'm not a one dimensional person
I'm not even a caricature
I am someone who has goals and talents
I have more to offer

Chorus
I am a coat of many colours
When I'm wearing red, I'm angry
When I'm wearing blue, I'm feeling lonely or sad
When I'm wearing grey, I am a bit confused
When I'm wearing yellow, I'm happy as can be

Call The Doctor

Verse 1
Someone please call the doctor
I am in terrible pain
My honey has left me
And I think I am to blame
This heartache I'm feeling is increasing every day
If I don't take care of it, I am going to pay

Bridge 1
Help! Help! I am in need
Help! Help! Anybody please

Verse 2
As the minutes go by, I am worsening
I would give almost anything to improve my status

Bridge 2
My heart s broken, it needs mending
I can't wait any longer, I'm not any stronger
I'm unable to get a grip
Heading to the hospital should be my next trip

Chorus
Call the doctor - his number is on speed dial
Call the doctor before it's too late
I have a bad case of the blues
And I really don't know what to do
Call the doctor - tell him my situation
I hope he gets here on time

Imagine Love

Verse 1
Imagine love
How it can rise you up above
Like a pearly, white dove
Like falling under a magical spell
Or being a secret you promised not to tell
It can be anything that you want it to be

Verse 2
Imagine love
With an intoxicating sound
One that surrounds you all around
You may feel like a prisoner in a fortress
It could be something you consider to be a pest
It can be anything that you want it to be

Verse 3
Imagine love
With warm hugs and sweet kisses
Maybe with bombs and loud, taunting hisses
With a cool, legendary voice that is moist
Something that is welcoming and comforting
It can be anything that you want it to be

Chorus 1
Imagine love for me and for you
And all the good things you can do
Imagine love for me and for you
Go ahead and start something new

Chorus 2
Imagine love for me and for you
And all the good things you can do
Imagine love for me and for you
That is the least that you can do

Chorus 3
Imagine love for me and for you
And all the good things you can do
Imagine love for me and for you
Go ahead and think about it

Silence Is Easy

Verse 1
I stutter and I hate it
I wish that it wasn't a part of me
I want to speak freely
As others do all of the time

Verse 2
There's not enough that I could do
To erase this thing from me
Believe me, I have tried time after time
It doesn't work
What else can I do?

Bridge
I keep my mouth shut
That's the simplest thing to do
But whenever I talk, my heart starts beating faster
I get nervous because it's a challenge

Chorus
Silence is easy for me
Talking is harder, conversations are torture

She Hangs Brightly

Verse 1
She hangs brightly in the naked sky
I admire her from afar
Her beauty takes my breath away

Verse 2
I look at her fro hours on end
Each time I discover something different
That is when I love her even more
There is nothing that could ever change that

Verse 3
Oh, how beautiful she is
I must be the luckiest man on earth
She grabs my attention and does not let go
My evenings are complete because she's always with me
No matter what happens, I know I can rely on her

Chorus
She hangs brightly every night
While watching over me as I sleep
Her light radiates through every inch of me

Outro
She hangs brightly in the naked sky
I look at her for hours on end
Oh, how beautiful she is

The Power To Believe

Verse 1
You have the power to believe in love
And you have the power to embrace love with open arms
You can dance into the light, capture all the spotlight
Be like shattered pieces of glass or the smell of gas
Imagine all of the possibilities whenever you believe

Verse 2
You have the power to believe in love
Welcome it with a cheerful hello
Free yourself of any sorrow
If you do, you'll have a promising tomorrow

Bridge
You have the power to believe in love
Release your pain, confront your fears
Do whatever it takes
Accept love entirely every day of your life
Nurture it the best way you can
Love is a positive transformation
A great supply of motivation
You will notice the difference that it makes
It's a gift that keeps on giving
When you believe, your visions feel so real
Reach out and change your life for the better

Chorus 1
You have the power to believe in love
I hope you never walk away from it
Make it a part of your life
You have the power to believe in love
Hold onto it, celebrate it, make it a part of your life
When you believe, your dreams can come true

Chorus 2
You have the power to believe in love
I hope you never walk away from it
Make it a part of your life
You have the power to believe in love
Hold onto it, celebrate it, make it a part of your life

Don't Want You To Know

Verse 1
You love to make assumptions
Like you know me very well
Because I'm quiet, you think I'm hiding something
There's no need for an investigation
Everything that I do is private
Does not concern you at all
Get off my case, leave me alone
Privacy is what I demand

Verse 2
There you go again
Asking me question after question
I refuse to answer a single one
I resent the tactics you employ
Get off my case, leave me alone
I have committed no crime

Bridge
If I have any secrets
You will never know what they are
Stop following me wherever I go
I have the right to do as I please

Chorus
I don't want you to know anything about me
What I do is none of your business
My life is mine to keep

Spiritchaser

Verse 1
Come spiritchaser as you did before
Fly threw the shadowy night
No one but you hold the sacred truth
But still we question who we are
Speculation runs rampant
You plunge into the ground to awake the dead
Filling them with a new soul
Commanding new guidelines on the ways of living
But nevertheless they take on new challenges
It is their right to because they have free will

Verse 2
Watch the horizon fade away
Imagine what will become of you
When your soul strikes back
It will reveal horrifying accounts of your life
You can never run fast enough
To get away from your conscience

Verse 3
We are in awe of your wisdom
We deeply feel your love for us
We try our best to honour you
When we fail, we never give up
You teach us how to be good and loyal
It's everything that you do

Chorus 1
Amalgamating heart and soul
Amending darkness to daylight
Renewing the present
You are the mighty one

Chorus 2
Amalgamating heart and soul
Amending darkness to daylight
Remembering the past, renewing the present
You are the mighty one

Leave Myself Behind

Verse 1
Like a shadow, I'm always there
Wherever you may be
Like a ghost, I'm watching you
Whatever you may do
I don't know who I am
I feel lost, I feel confused

Verse 2
Like a toy, I play with you
Whenever I think of you
Like a magnet, I'm drawn to you
Wherever you may be
I don't know who I am
I feel strange, I feel alone

Bridge
Becoming you is a dream come true
It is what I've wanted for all my life
Why didn't I act any sooner?
Things would have been easier for me

Chorus 1
I will leave myself behind
And become just like you
You are everything I've wanted to be
So I'm changing my identity

Chorus 2
I will leave myself behind
And become just like you
You are everything I've wanted to be
I will not miss my old identity

The Rainbow Warrior

Verse 1
He is known for his good deeds
But he is still widely unknown
He battles ruthless enemies
For the sake of mankind
Those hurting the different will all be changed
There will be no more red, black, white or yellow
But a strong and harmonious rainbow
A rainbow nation with many visions and voices

Verse 2
He is the rainbow warrior
Who will always fight for equality
Not with sticks, stones or a bow and arrow
But with wisdom, faith and love
Travelling around the world
To build a prosperous and unified future
A future which many resist

Verse 3
All the races will come together
To celebrate their differences
Animosity and hatred will cease to exist
There will be an understanding of who we are
But that won't happen just right away
The rainbow warrior works hard every day
He still knows that people don't see
That everybody was created equally

Chorus
Everyday he still believes that one day all men
Will be looked at what is inside of them
Not by the colour of their skin
And the time will come when the rainbow will shine on
As it rises to the top, the rainbow warrior will never stop

Take A Look In The Mirror

Verse 1
You are a master of destruction
Nothing is ever safe around you
Destroying hearts, taking lives is like a game to you
Eyes never lie, especially yours
The truth is always revealed one way or another

Verse 2
For years, you have been wasting away
The stench could send shivers up someone's spine
You are way beyond control
You breed terror

Bridge
You fell and you could not be saved
You were out of reach from any ounce of goodness
Slowly you became a monster
There was no way of turning back
You have frightened everyone
that has come into contact with you
You are a lost cause, a lost soul
With no redeeming qualities
There is nothing that could ever bring you back to life
Death will forever be with you

Chorus 1
Take a look in the mirror
If you don't like what you see
Then only you can blame yourself
Take a look in the mirror
You can never run away from yourself
You can never hide away

Chorus 2
Take a look in the mirror
If you don't like what you see
Then only you can blame yourself
Take a look in the mirror
You can never run away from yourself
You can never hide away from yourself
This is who you are
Like it or not, you have to live with it
Words probably cannot describe how you truly feel

Criminal

Verse 1
Deep in my heart
I truly know that I'm guilty
There's no doubt about that
I don't know what I was thinking
When I was committing those crimes

Verse 2
There is no way of explaining
Every horrible thing I have done
Hopefully by being honest and open
My soul will not be broken

Bridge
I am taking responsibility
For every illegal act I have made
I will not put the blame on anyone
Only I have myself to blame

Chorus 1
I am feeling like a criminal
Because I have broken the law
Someone prosecute me
Send me to jail, I am guilty
I confess to what I have done wrong
And I'm sorry
Now I must pay the consequences

Chorus 2
I am feeling like a criminal
Because I have broken the law
Someone prosecute me
Send me to jail, I am guilty
I confess to what I have done wrong
And I'm sorry
Now I must pay the consequences
I will learn from my mistakes

Rising

Verse 1
There were warning signs telling me
Not to get close to you
I paid no attention
You're the only thing on my mind
All the lights started flashing
The alarm suddenly went off
I knew I was in dangerous territory
I am playing with fire
I'm not afraid about getting burned
You are worth the risk

Verse 2
At this point, there's no turning back
Curiosity has taken over me
Slowly, I'm feeling the the heat
I am playing with fire
I'm not afraid about getting burned
You are worth the risk

Chorus 1
Because of you, I am rising
Way up high, around in the sky
You are such a tease and you know it
You get a kick out of doing
All the things you do to me
I am hard as a rock but I can't be grounded

Chorus 2
Because of you, I am rising
Way up high, around in the sky
You are such a tease and you know it
You get a kick out of doing
All the things you do to me
I am hard as a rock but I can't be grounded
It's only natural for me to feel this way

Chorus 3
The way you are, it blows my mind away
It's like you have cast a spell over me
You are such a tease and you know it
You get a kick out of doing
All the things you do to me

What I Can't See

Verse 1
I'm not hungry but I'm eating
I'm not tired but I'm sleeping
I'm not alone but I'm lonely
I'm smiling but I'm depressed
I'm angry but I'm friendly
I'm waiting but I'm impatient

Verse 2
I'm not afraid but I'm hiding
I'm not selfish but I don't share
I am rough but I'm tender
I'm confused but I know what's going on

Verse 3
I'm not skinny but I'm slim
I'm not smart but I'm informed
I'm not rich but I make ends meet
I'm shy but approachable
I'm still but I'm talkative
I'm sorry but unregretful

Chorus 1
What I can't see
Is why there is something wrong with me
I know I don't feel the way I should
That's just one of my problems

Chorus 2
What I can't see
Is why there is something wrong with me
I know I don't feel the way I should
Maybe medicine can make me better

What I can't see
Is why there is something wrong with me
I know I don't feel the way I should
Being someone else is what I want to be

Pleasures of The Night

Verse 1
You keep telling me that you want me
Like you've never wanted anything before
Your body is aching for lovin'
And that's just what you're gonna get
You're hotter than hot, I'm cooler than cool
Our combination is explosive
Look out, I'm going to land in your arms
Feel every inch of me
I still cannot believe that this is real
My fantasy is coming true

Verse 2
Surrender every part of you
As I do the same in front of you
The maximum effect will be felt
You and I both have loosened up
There's plenty of room and time to do anything
Oh, I love it when you kiss my lips
Nibble here and nibble over there
You know exactly how to keep me pleased
I still cannot believe that this is real
My fantasy is coming true

Bridge
We're just getting things started
Don't think it's already over
My baby, I've been waiting for this moment for too long
Kiss here, touch there
Lick me, make love to me
I'm yours in every sense of the word
Keep me satisfied right till the end
And I promise I won't disappoint
I will be the best that you have ever had

Chorus
Splash your juice into me
Make me go "Ou ee Ou ee"
Hold me like you never wanna let me go
All night long
Stroke my body gently
Tickle me with your tongue
Hold me like you never wanna let me go
All night long

I'm Sorry That Sometimes I'm Mean

Verse 1
When you do things I don't like
I raise my voice at you
I get upset whenever you disappoint me
I block you out when you talk to me
Because I don't want to hear what you have to say
Sometimes I insult you for no reason

Verse 2
I can try your patience or be condescending
I can reject you at any time I want
I know that I can hurt your feelings
And I do that just to make me feel happier
Sometimes I act a little crazy

Bridge
You are the only person that matters to me
And I really do love you
I know that I am a pain in the neck
So I will try to change my ways
I do not want to lose you

I embarrass you when I get angry in public
My frustration is directed at you
Please forgive me

Bet Your Life

Verse 1
Taking chances is what we all must do
Sooner or later we will have to
There are benefits to some decisions
While others involve consequences

Verse 2
Taking advice is what we all must do
Even when we do not want to
Some of the risks we take are acceptable
While others are stupid and dangerous

Bridge
Place a value on things that are important to you
Preserve them for as long as you can
Ignorance is very costly
Be well-informed of all your options

Chorus 1
If you bet your life
There is always a chance of losing
You could even die
But if you play the game right
By adhering to rules and instructions
You could be a winner

You could even survive
But if you play the game wrong
By disregarding tips and regulations

What Time Is It There?

Verse 1
What time is it there?
Over here it's the evening
Soon I will be going to bed
With thoughts of you in my head
My life with you is what I yearn for
Being alone is such a bore
I know I shouldn't be patient
It's a virtue, that's what I'm told

Verse 2
What time is it there?
Over here it's the middle of the night
It's hard for me to fall asleep
When I think of you every second
I miss you more than you will ever know
I need you right now
I know I should be patient
It's a virtue, that's what I'm told

Verse 3
What time is it there?
Over here it's the morning
I have to get up and go to work
Even though I don't want to
I know that you are safe where you are
But you don't know how I'm feeling
I know I should be patient
It's a virtue, that's what I'm told

Verse 4
What time is it there?
Over here it's the afternoon
Soon I will be going home
Even though I don't want to
Memories are all I have of you
When I think of them, I begin to cry
I know I should be patient
It's a virtue, that's what I'm told

Verse 5
What time is it there?
Over here it's the evening
Soon I will be going to bed
With thoughts of you in my head
If I fall asleep tonight
I will be dreaming of you
You don't know how much I love you
When you come back, I will show you

Verse 1
No one could ever replace you in my heart
Like it or not, you are stuck with me
Every moment we share is always remembered
You are the only one I'll ever need

Knowing that you will do the same
Whatever happens to you affects me as well
You are the only one I'll ever want

Wherever you are is where I want to be
You make me cry, you make me laugh
I wouldn't change anything about you
I like you just the way you are
And I love you for loving me

Rumours of Rain

Verse 1
There have been rumours of rain
Each time I hear them it causes pain
I heard similar reports last year
Since then, I have not been the same
I lost myself and everything I knew about me
I'm still desperately searching
My future hinges on me reconnecting with the person I once was
At any time they say the rain will fall again

Verse 2
The weatherman frequently updates us on the impending storm
But there is only so much we can do
We simply don't have the power to turn this thing around
I lost myself and everything I knew about me
I am still desperately searching
My future hinges on me reconnecting with the person that I once was
At any time they say we must be prepared

Bridge
I'm feeling the same feeling that I did last year
When I was ripped away from myself
I swore to get my life back
No matter what the coast was
And now this may be the moment I've been hoping for
I have the chance to be me again

Chorus 1
Rumours of rain are the talk of the town
I already feel like I'm swimming in a sea of emotions
I'm struggling against the current
I'm trying to hold onto delicate objects within my grasp
The water is slowly rising and I'm that much closer
To finding who I was and losing what is left of me
This is the fight of my life, this is the ultimate test
I will either win or lose once again

Chorus 2
Rumours of rain are the talk of the town
I already feel like I'm drowning in a sea of emotions
I'm struggling against the current
I'm trying to hold onto delicate objects within my grasp
The water is slowly rising and I'm that much closer
To finding who I was and losing what is left of me
This is the fight of my life, this is the ultimate test
I will either win or lose once again

The Perfect Boy

Verse 1
He is smart and he is brave
He is popular and well-liked
He is tall and he is strong
He is creative and very proud

Verse 2
He never gets into trouble
He has always been on the honour roll
He even has his own car
And a home theatre in his bedroom

Bridge 1
He showcases many of his talents
He is the most gifted student in his class
Many girls want to be his girlfriend
And many guys want to be his best friend
His teachers compliment him on his successes
His parents shower him with love and affection
He feels like the luckiest boy in the whole world

Bridge 2
He considers himself to be an average kid
But nothing about him is average to us

Chorus
The perfect boy has everything
That he could ever want
The perfect boy has everything
That he could ever need

Tease

Verse 1
We meet for the first time
And there is an instant connection
I can't look away from you
If I do, I might lose you
You are definitely something else
And I want to get to know more of you

Verse 2
You know that I am attracted to you
I watch all of your moves
Sometimes you dance in front of me
Knowing that you'll get my attention
The look in your eyes is a come hither look
Sometimes you turn me away

Bridge
You approach me and whisper softly into my ear
You tell me that you want me
That you want everything I have to give
Then you walk away from me
Like nothing ever happened

Chorus 1
You are such a tease - oh, baby please
Don't keep your love away from me
You are a tease - oh, baby please
Wrap me in hugs and kisses

Chorus 2
You are such a tease - oh, baby please
Fill me up with anything you can offer
You are a tease - oh, baby please
Sting me with your love

Below The Belt

Verse 1
She's like a cheetah in the jungle
Searching for her next prey
She observes her target
She moves in closer to attack
Eats her victim alive
That is the way she operates
I know her all too well
She did exactly the same thing to me
I became one of her victims

Bridge 1
When I met her, she seemed like a good woman
Little did I know that she was planning to destroy me
She cut me into pieces, played with my emotions

Verse 2
There were no sings indicating
That she had ulterior motives
At the beginning, time with her was the best I ever had
Then all of a sudden, without any warning
She morphed into a ball-breaker
And sliced me down to size
After that happened, I didn't know what to think
I was lost for words
She wounded me
I even have the scars to prove it

Bridge 2
When I met her, she seemed like a good woman
Little did I know that she was planning to destroy me
She yanked me around, uprooted me from my stable life

Chorus
She always hits below the belt
And that's what she'll do if you're with her
She will entice you into her world
Then rip your heart to shreds

Run That By Me One More Time

Verse 1
He said that him and I can no longer be friends
Even though we have been for many years
He's like a brother to me, part of my family
He was the person I felt closest to
Now he thinks I have been messin' with his girl
Playing him for a fool, going behind his back
I don't know where the hell he's getting that from
I have always been loyal and respectful towards him

Verse 2
He said that I was the one
Who stabbed him in the back
Even when I did no such thing
I could never hurt my friend like that
Now I'm told to get out of his sight

Bridge
All the words he said are locked inside my head
They're replaying themselves like a broken record
My character was attacked, my heart was broken
How can I even move on with my life feeling this way?

Chorus 1
I just could not believe what he told me today
He said he never wanted to see me
He told me to stay away
After everything we've been through
How could he stand there and say
That I lied, stole, and cheated him even when I did not
Run that by me one more time
I am really confused

Chorus 2
I just could not believe what he told me today
He said he never wanted to see me
He told me to stay away
After everything we've been through
How could he stand there and say
That I lied, stole, and cheated him even when I did not
Run that by me one more time
I am really confused
Run that by me one more time
I simply don't understand

Deep In Hot Water

Verse 1
I am deep in hot water
I am in big trouble
I made a mistake, I made an error
Would it make a difference if I paid a fine?
I will not run away from this problem I created
Doing that only makes it much worse
Facing the music is what I must do now

Verse 2
Nobody I know enjoys punishment
But there comes a time when we all experience it
I made a mistake, I made an error
I now realize what I have done wrong
And I will make sure to never do it again

Verse 3
Would it make a difference if I apologized?
Would it make a difference if I paid a fine?

Bridge
I'm really nervous
I don't know what's going to happen next
I only hope that this ordeal of mine soon ends
The anticipation is killing me inside
I just want to get this thing over with
I can't take it anymore
Just hand me my punishment
Taking responsibility for my actions is what I'm doing

Chorus 1
I made one too many bad decisions
And because of that, I am deep in hot water

Chorus 2
I made one too many bad decisions
And because of that, I am deep in hot water
I lied one too many times
And because of that I am deep in hot water

Gratitude

Verse 1
For all the sights you have shown me
For all the things you have taught me
For all the love you have given to me
I thank you
For all the time you have spent with me
For all the special moments we have shared
For all the advice you have given to me
I thank you

Verse 2
For al the conversations we've had
For all the successes we've celebrated
For all the ways you have forgiven me
I thank you
For all the values you have instilled in me
For all the times you have made me laugh
For all the joy you brought into my life
I thank you

Bridge
So much has been given to me
I have never been in need
I try not to take anything for granted
Knowing that I have been blessed
Sometimes I don't feel worthy
Of some of the things that I have
I am grateful for this life of mine
And I will always cherish it

Chorus
Words cannot express how I truly feel about you
You cared for me, you loved me
You were there when I needed you the most
I could never imagine my life without you
I am who I am today - the man I've always wanted to be
And because of that I am always grateful

While I Was Gone

Verse 1
While I was gone
What did you do without me?
When you went to bed
Did you cry yourself to sleep?
And when you woke up
Did you not want to get out of bed?
When you were at work
Did you find it hard not to think of me?
Did you miss me very much?
Tell me how you felt

Verse 2
While I was gone
What did you do without me?
When it was time for dinner
Did you not want to eat?
And when you were relaxing
Did you want to work instead?
Did you miss me very much?
Tell me how you felt

Bridge 1
Did I create an empty void in your life?
Did you feel lonely at any time?
Were you ever bored during the weekends?
Tell me how you felt when I wasn't with you

Bridge 2
Did you miss me very much?
Tell me how you felt when I wasn't with you

Chorus 1
While I was gone
Did you long to have me by your side
Or did you not care at all?

Chorus 2
While I was gone
Did you long to have me by your side
Or did you not care at all?
Did you forget about me?

I Believe

Verse 1
There is something about you
I just can't put my finger on it
You are the love I've been waiting for
Prayers are what I say
When I need guidance from above
And they have been answered in the form of you
My days are much brighter
I appreciate the little things
That make life such a joyful gift

Verse 2
I know that we all have one life to live
And that's just what I do every day
I do not want to have any regrets
Taking anything for granted is something we all do
We must learn to cherish important moments
And people in our lives
My nights are much clearer
I appreciate the many things
That make love such an intimate gift

Verse 3
There is nothing better than a friendship
One that has a deep and lasting connection
There are rare moments when I feel
Like I'm not worthy of you
But when you smile at me, when you look into my eyes
When you touch me, all those feelings wash away
I am much happier
I appreciate the many moments
That make you such a beautiful gift

Bridge
I don't have to look any further
For someone to share my life with
All the things I will ever need lie in you
I know that you and I are stronger than we think we are
When we help each other, anything is possible
Let us shine as bright as the sun
Let us reach for the stars
Our foundation will always be our love
All my faith, all my hope exist because I believe

Chorus
I believe that you and I are full of possibilities
Our love can empower us to accomplish all of our dreams
Positive thinking will sustain is through troubled times
Our sacrifices will keep us humble
We will forever share a life
That is what I believe

Lost In The Stars

Verse 1
I have floated far away
To a place I have never been
And I do not know how to get back
To where I was at the beginning
The path I took has disappeared
Wandering around won't do any good
I never expected to be out of touch
Even for such a long period of time
I'm not sure if I will be found

Verse 2
Loneliness is what I feel
As the wind blows through me
When night falls, it gets colder
So I find a cloud to keep me warm
But that only comforts me for a while

Chorus 1
I am lost in the stars
I'm hoping for light to be shed upon me
And if that happens, I will be able to find my way back

Chorus 2
I am lost in the stars
I'm hoping for light to be shed upon me
And if that happens I will be able to find my way back
I was meant to have my feet touching the ground
Time passes me by but I'm still here
I don't know how to return to where I was
I am lost in the stars

Crazy Love

Verse 1
Crazy love, you would do just about anything for me
And I would do the same
Sometimes I tick you off just for the fun of it
And then you play a joke on me

Verse 2
Crazy love, sometimes you would scare me half to death
And then tell me to get a hold of myself
You expect me to be at your beck and call
That is a little too much for me

Chorus 1
I have so much fun with you
I always want to be with you
Our love is a bit crazy but it's real

Chorus 2
I have so much fun with you
I always want to be with you
Our love is a bit crazy but it's real
I like how you are spontaneous
You like how I'm sarcastic
I appreciate you for who you are
Even if you continue to drive me a little crazy

Like Honey

Verse 1
Hey, baby, I want you to know something
The things is, no one is quite like you
You are unique right down to a tee
I begin to melt the moment we touch
I want to hold you in my arms so very much
I never want to let you go
Now please bear with me
Because I've never felt this way about anyone
Taking things slowly is what I want to do
My energy will be saved up for you

Verse 2
Sweetheart, sweetheart cast your problems aside
Time spent with me will not involve worrying
Let me make you the centre of my universe
Let me treat you like my one and only love
I will shower you with attention
I will be affectionate
With you, I don't hold anything back
What you see is always what you get
I could never lose this feeling I have towards you
Every part of me is invested in us

Bridge
Yeah yeah, oh oh
What you give to me is mouth-watering
Oh oh, yeah yeah
I am on a sugar high
Hee hee, oh oh
What a beautiful surprise I have found in you
Tee tee, yeah yeah
Each breath I take is always better than the last
And you are the reason for that

Chorus
Your lips are like honey - they are very tasteful
Your skin is like honey - it is very sweet
You are like honey - so good for me, so delicious

The Songs That Got Away

Verse 1
I am staring at the stars like Better Than Ezra
I have always been sober
I get lonely like Janet Jackson
I feel dizzy
So I will wait like Hootie & The Blowfish
I feel weightless
And like Tom Cochrane, I wonder if things will change

Verse 2
Like Chumbawumba, I have never been
At the top of the world
Sometimes life's a bitch
That's when I feel like a black balloon about to burst
But if I turn things inside out
The way Eve 6 did
I may be able to lay down
I may be able to breathe

Bridge
South of me, there's an invisible man
Who claims he's not an addict
With my naked eye
I see that everything is different now
I have been telling stories which everybody knows
My bones and joints are aching
This pain just can't last anymore

Chorus
The songs that got away are returning to me
For some time I forget about them
Now I remember each one

Leave Your Name

Verse 1
You don't know if you're beautiful
Unless you feel you are
You don't know if you're smart
Unless you act that way
You don't know if you're strong
Unless you are challenged
But how will you know yourself
If you don't like your name

Verse 2
You don't know if you're funny
Unless you crack a joke
You don't know if you're generous
Unless you start to share
You don't know if you're confident
Unless you have faith in yourself
But how will you love yourself
If you don't like your name

Bridge
You determine how you will live your life
You make decisions on what is best in the long run
If there is a part of you that feels ashamed
Each time you say your name
Each time you spell your name
Then leave your name if that makes you feel better
Choose something that you can appreciate

Chorus
Leave your name, change yourself
Become someone new
I have done exactly what you want to do
Every time I look into the mirror
I don't miss my old self
You can feel the same way if you just leave your name

Battle For The Minds

Verse 1
There's an ongoing battle for the minds
Of he youth of the nation
Whoever shall claim victory
Will be able to control them like puppets

Verse 2
Say what you mean and mean what you say
Agents of destruction will manipulate everything around you

Bridge
Be strong, be brave
Be all that you should be
Enemies of us think that they will always win

Chorus
There is a battle for the minds
If you don't realize it
Then you should all wake up from your daydream
Everything you know could all slip away
If you don't pay attention today
There are more things at risk
Than one could ever imagine

Missing You

Verse 1
You are all the woman I need
All the woman I'll ever want
I feel like we were always meant to be together
We were always meant to be as one
Loneliness is like a never ending pain
And it intensifies as the days go by
I long for so many things
Like the times I held you in my arms
I know I'll never be the same without you

Verse 2
I am all the man you need
All the man you'll ever want
I feel like we were definitely made for each other
We were definitely meant to be as one
Loneliness is like a scar that will not heal
And it surrounds me every minute of every day
I long for so many things
Like the times I would kiss you
I know I could never be the same without you

Bridge
Crying, tossing and turning is what I do
If only you knew how much I love you
I'm craving to feel the way I did
When I was with you
I'm hoping, I'm praying that my wish will come true
And that is for you to be with me

Chorus 1
Oh, baby, I am missing you
Come back to me
That's what I want you to do
Oh, baby, I am missing you
I need you as a part of my life
Because I love you

Oh, baby, I am missing you

Wash my pain away

Because I love you

Lost Generation

Verse 1
Some of us don't fit in
For whatever reasons we tell ourselves
Sometimes it's what we are told
Other times it's what we have read

Verse 2
Some of us are addicted to drugs
Some of us are addicted to booze
We can excel in academics
And live a double life at the same time

Bridge
We are full of potential
When we are born
But as we age, we fall short of our goals
Some of us are struggling to survive
We all know someone who has blown their chance at life

Chorus 1
We are a lost generation
We are like a ship that is sinking
We are like a car about to crash
We are a lost generation
And we need all the help we can get
Before it's too late

Chorus 2
We are a lost generation
We are like a ship that is sinking
We are like a car about to crash
We are a lost generation
And we need all the help we can get
Before it's too late
We all want to live
