I Come In Peace

Verse 1
I come in peace
Please put your gun down
I don't have a gun
So how can I shoot you?
I come in peace
Please put your knife down
I don't have a knife
So how can I stab you?
I come in peace
Please disarm your bombs
I don't have bombs
So how can I blow you away?

Verse 2
I come in peace
Please keep your belt on
I don't have a belt
So how can I beat you?
I come in peace
Please put your rocks down
I don't have rocks
So how can I hit you?

Bridge 1
I come in peace
Please don't spit on me
My mouth is dry
So how can I spit on you?

Bridge 2
I come in peace
I pose no threat to you
Believe me when I say I will not harm you
I come in peace
I am not dangerous
Believe me when I say you don't have to be afraid

Chorus 1
I come in peace
I'm not going to harm you
I come in peace
Don't be afraid of me

Chorus 2
I come in peace
Don't be afraid of me
I come in peace
I will not kill you
I come in peace
I will not destroy you

Standing In The Rainbow

Standing in the rainbow
The colours represent me
Standing in the rainbow
I'm feeling blue, feeling depressed
I want to move but I can't
I want to change but I can't
I'm locked in this position

Standing in the rainbow
I'm a multitude of colours
Standing in the rainbow
I'm feeling grey, feeling confused

Standing in the rainbow
The colours represent me
Standing in the rainbow
I'm feeling blue, feeling depressed
I want to move but I can't
I want to change but I can't

After

Verse 1
After I die what will become of me?
Will I return to dust?
There are only two possibilities
I could be alive or dead for eternity
I've contemplated my existence after death
I must admit that I'm scared
Isn't everyone?

Verse 2
I have lied, I have cheated
I have stolen, I have been selfish
Does that mean I'm condemned to Hell?
If I ask for forgiveness will I be forgiven?
If I am, will I go to Heaven?
Will my soul live on after I die?
Is there such a thing as purgatory?
If there is, will I be there?

Bridge
There's so many things I would have done differently
Now that I can, I'll be more respectful
I'll have more compassion and empathy
If I do all of those things
Will I be saved or left to suffer
These questions run through my mind
But answers are nowhere to be found

Chorus
Will I meet angels after I die?
Will I encounter other departed souls?
What should I expect?
What will happen to me?
Will I know I'm dead after I die?

Let 'Em Burn

Verse 1
Do not look at them
Do not talk to them
Do not approach them
Do not listen to them
They bring no good, they will only use you
They're full of destruction, they're full of hate

Verse 2
They poison the air
They're responsible for the filth on the streets
If you're in contact with them
They will corrupt your mind
They worship evil, they worship all things bad
They're full of greed, they're full of lies

Chorus 1
Let 'em burn
What happens to them is none of your concern
Go live your life
They have wasted theirs
Don't pity them, show no sympathy
Each of us is given a choice
There's no point in saving them
They chose to die

Chorus 2
Let 'em burn
Pay no attention to them
Go live your life
If you don't it will pass you by
Don't pity them, show no sympathy
They've shown no remorse
There's no point in saving them

Surrender To Love

Surrender to love
It is powerful and strong
It will conquer you in many ways
If you want it to
There is no denying its potential
It will transform you
So do not fight it off
Because you will surely lose
Let love fill your heart and mind
Your body and soul as well

Imagine a world without love
Or can you?
Everybody would be at odds with one another
Accusations would run rampant
Confessions would be rare
There's no respect or empathy
It's all man for himself
If you can't put up with it
You will have to try
If you don't, you will get stomped to the ground

If there's a wall around your heart
Tear it down, let love in
Why fight a battle when a war doesn't exist?
Why be apprehensive about letting love in?
Think of the benefits it brings
It will change your life
You can live without it, then you'll always want it

The View

Verse 1
I watch the sun rise every morning
And I am flooded with memories of you
The soft light covers the sky
Signalling the beginning of the day
The beauty of it is so beautiful

Verse 2
As the day passes by
Reflections of you appear in my mind
Sometimes they are a pleasant distraction
Other times they fill me with joy
The shape and size and look of you
Is embedded within me
Your smile just lights up an entire room
You make me happy

Bridge
The view I see reminds me of you
It puts myself at ease
The landscape at sunset is cool and comforting

Chorus
The view reminds me of you
I recall how much I love you
I remember how beautiful you really are

Let Go Of Your Bad Days

Verse 1
You called the other day
And I wondered why you did
We had not spoken to each other for some time
I guess the time we spend apart made you feel lonely
Just to hear my voice must have given you some comfort
I always knew that you couldn't get me out of your life
Even if you tried to, you wouldn't know where to start

Verse 2
Sometimes you are irrational
Other time you're impatient
I don't even think you realize that you are
I'll be honest with you
I don't know how to feel your pain
And if it helps, I will take all the blame

Bridge
Time changes some things
But it won't change my feelings for you
I do not hate you
I just don't want to be with you
But I will help you to move on with your life

Chorus
Let me help you to detach yourself from me
It's unhealthy for you to be this dependent
I won't always be there to carry you
I won't always be there to hold you
Let go of me

Losing You

Verse 1
You and I have been together for a long time
Love was the bond that connected both you and I
Lately that very same bond is weakening day by day
I have tried to restore the strength it needs
So it can bring us closer again

Verse 2
I remember all of the times that we spent talking
Hours passed by and we never thought of stopping
The expression on your face doesn't tell me anything
I'm just wondering what you're feeling inside
I desperately want to reconnect with you

Bridge 1
You are the person I feel closest to
But you're slowly drifting away
I sense that you get uncomfortable whenever I'm around
The situation that we're in is only getting worse
It's pointless to throw all those years away
I'm just not ready to say goodbye forever

Chorus 1
I'm losing you
I don't know what to do
If I can win you back would you please let me know
The thought of living my life all alone is not comforting
I'll promise to become a better person
And I hope you'll be right by my side
You're slipping out of my life like sand through an hourglass

Chorus 2
I'm losing you
I don't know what to do
If I can win you back would you please let me know
I never imagined living my life without you
I'll promise to become a better person
And I hope you'll be right by my side
You're slipping out of my life like sand through an hourglass

Outro
How can this be the end when I'm still holding on?
This can't be the end because I still love you

Sometimes I Cry

Verse 1
I tried not to think of you
It was as if I was holding my breath
I couldn't go further
I just had to stop at that moment
I was only making matters worse
By trying to erase you from my mind

Verse 2
On better days I don't cry any tears
But my sadness keeps on growing
Sometimes I wish I was numb so I wouldn't feel a single emotion
I just need relief from the suffering that I'm going through

Verse 3
When the pain decreases I know that I' closer to smiling again
But whenever it doesn't
I know that I'll have to be as strong as I can
Other times I fall deeper into the dark

Bridge 1
Sometimes I cry when things aren't going my way
Sometimes I cry out of pity for myself
Sometimes I cry to ease some of my pain
Sometimes I cry to get attention

Chorus 1
Sometimes I cry when I envision you holding me
I feel the need to reach out so I can be next to you
Even though my heart knows what it wants
Sometimes I cry when my world is upside down

Chorus 2
Sometimes I cry when I envision you holding me
I feel the need to reach out so I can be next to you
But my conscience is keeping me from you
Even though I know what I really want
Sometimes I cry when my world is upside down

Not A Day Goes By

Verse 1
There we were walking hand in hand beneath the stars
They shined brightly on that perfect summer evening
It was just you and I sharing intimate moments
Ever since you went away
The magic that was once there has disappeared

Verse 2
I know you're out there somewhere
But if I talked to you
Would you hear what I was saying?
I'm sure you won't because I've been calling out your name
There's no sign telling me that my message has been heard
And now I'm about to face another sleepless night

Verse 3
Sometimes I think that I' seeing a vision of you
You're standing very still as I continue to stare
And then I walk closer to put my arms around you
But you suddenly vanish into thin air
I realize it was just my imagination

Bridge
If it is wrong for me to miss you
Then my heart just will not let me be right
I'm surrounded by things that remind me of you
And as I start to cry, the pain I've been feeling deepens inside

Chorus 1
Not a day goes by without me thinking about you
I reminisce about the past and the memories we shared
You were a part of me but now you're gone
I only wish that I could hold you, feel you, be with you somehow

Chorus 2
Not a day goes by without me thinking about you
I remember you and I talking about our future
You were a part of me but now you're gone
I only wish that I could hold you, feel you, be with you somehow
