BIO: HERE





1. IN THE BEGINNING

Yiiiiaaaoowww!
*breathing*

So -
In the beginning there was hum
From a poet whose pulse fell
Drum drum drum!

He would perform prayers and all
Till one day he heard a voice call
Come come come!

Suspicious he moved with vicious caution
Dismisses, he thinks it's a little off

People get held back
By the voice inside them

Yo -
The voice said I'm poised to speak inside you
Rejoice and please let me invite you
To evil, greed and lies too

Yeah -
Confusing days he moved in ways he soon became a kuuni
Boom boom boom
And knock on his door his lord is no more
And knock on his door his soul is no more

La la la la- yeah
La la la la- that was in the beginning
La la la la- as the story goes on
La la la la-

So so so -
The poet's got a proposal
He would always hope but never know
What it feels to be free

He would be the frozen imposed as the chosen on all those opposing
But he would be greedy
That's got him there
He's power hungry and proud too

People don't care, people just scared
People don't care, people just prayer

La la la la- yeah
La la la la- that was in the beginning
La la la la- there was a hum
La la la la- and things change
La la la la-

Yeah, yeah, yeah -
Say -
It's better to light a candle than to curse the dark
In the eyes of the youth there are question marks
Like freedom
Freedom for the mind and soul
We don't see them
See them for their worth at all
That's why we lead them
Lead them to these wars and what is it we feed them
Feed them our impurities and who it is we treat them
Treat them like the enemy humanity will need them
Need them like the blood we spill and where freedom

Freedom for the hearts we fill
Mislead them
They hunger for the love we give
But we cheat them

The cops beat them when all he wants is his freedom
So they defeat them
Whatever spirit he's got
Beat them

And they teach them that the rest of the world don't need him
And he believes it's a disease that he's heathen
Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
Put up your fists if all you want is -

La la la la- That was in the beginning
La la la la- And things change
La la la la-

Yeah, yeah, yeah -
And we keep holding on
And we keep being strong
And we keep going on
And on and on and on

And we keep holding on
And we keep being strong
And we keep going on
And on and on and on

3. DREAMER





Yeah
Believe it or not
What kept me alive
Is mah dream

I'm a dreamer
But I ain't the only one got problems
But we love to have fun
This is our world
From here to your hood
We alive man
It's OK to feel good

***********************

Uh, yeah
Believe it or not...
What kept me alive...
Is my Dreams

Chorus:
I'm a dreamer, but I ain't the only one
Got problems but we love to have fun
This is our world, from here to your hood
We alive man, it's okay to feel good!

I'm a dreamer, but I ain't the only one
Got problems but we love to have fun
This is our world, from here to your hood
Lively up now, it's okay to feel good!

Verse 1:
I got a friend named Fo'
Who got a friend named Blow
With a finger named Clap
That'll leave you on the side like a Kangol hat
He ain't have no choice he was born this way
These streets pull your number like a phone display
And you gotta be defensive with your life
You gotta be like Bush and take pre-emptive strikes
And "The boys from the hood are always hard"
Let alone in Mogadishu it's a mastered art
If you bring the world hoods to a seminar
We from the only place worse than Kandahar
Yo that's kinda hard
But we still like to party and Hardy-har
Something good happens we say "Mashallah"
Something bad happens, "Que sera, sera"
I close my eyes and all I can see, is you dancing with me

Chorus:
I'm a dreamer, but I ain't the only one
Got problems but we love to have fun
This is our world, from here to your hood
We alive man, it's okay to feel good!

I'm a dreamer, but I ain't the only one
Got problems but we love to have fun
This is our world, from here to your hood
Lively up now, it's okay to feel good!
I'm a Dreamer

It's okay to feel good
It's the truth!
Ayyo, and check it out

Verse 2:
What would it take for a boy about my age
To hear cheers in his head upon that stage?
And the cheers they would drown out the tears from my brown eyes
C'mon backstage
You see the screams ain't the screams from gunshot screams
In my dreams these screams are from hot teens
And I'm barely thirteen and pack a dirty
Ol' Russian firearm that shoots thirty
Just then I hear the bus engine
I'm transcendin'
I'm crowd surfin'
I can't see the time burnin'
I'm not hurtin'
With my mahogany pen
"I'm on Award Tour, with Muhammed and them!"
And we be overseas, and not in these streets
Where my peeps stay alive, like the Beegees
And the likes of Jay-Z would say my steez
Say he handily brought, hip hop peace

[Chorus]
I'm a dreamer, but I ain't the only one
Got problems but we love to have fun
This is our world, from here to your hood
We alive man, it's okay to feel good!

I'm a dreamer, but I ain't the only one
Got problems but we love to have fun
This is our world, from here to your hood
Lively up now, it's okay to feel good!
I'm a Dreamer!!

Sometimes we just like to have fun, man we like to forget
All the fighting, all the guns and the tires burnin

[Verse 3]
Back on the verse
Imagine crack wasn't birthed
Imagine that Earth wasn't hurt
Imagine no Homeland alerts
Imagine no record locater
So I wouldn't have to get a criminal waiver
Imagine the Piece wasn't in my briefs
Instead Peace could stretch across the seas
So finally we could we could just rest in the East
No Refugees
And you, well you could dress in a book
And I could read your body with less than a look
I got a dream girl in my mind, that's the hook
An intellectual, sexual and still can cook

And I feel good right now...I feel good right here
You feel good right now? You feel good??

[Chorus]
I'm a dreamer, but I ain't the only one
Got problems but we love to have fun
This is our world, from here to your hood
We alive man, it's okay to feel good!

I'm a dreamer, but I ain't the only one
Got problems but we love to have fun
This is our world, from here to your hood
Lively up now, it's okay to feel good!

[Repeat 2x]

[K'Naan speaking to end]
We not down and out...just because the times are hard
Uh-uh...uh-uh...yeah...shout out to the strugglers
In my country...the hardest place on Earth right now
But still...I still know how to get down
I still know how to vibe out
Still know how to talk to a pretty girl
Take it easy now...YEAH

4. END OF PURITY



Temptation...

As leaves fall on a perfect autumn,
Sorrow takes part in us
As summer springs a perfect blossom
Shadowed by mistrust

We face ourselves
A picture broken
And to the end -
We are dust

Betrayal comes through serpent's eyes
Shattering old lies
Consuming autumn beauty
Bringing winter's sighs

An encrypted waterfall
We no longer understand
Ignorance knows nothing
While wisdom cries

Cold and unsafe
We reach for our own mind
The heart is now forgotten
Long lost it was blind

Father teaches us all
Yet we know none
Suddenly all vivid
And our purity is gone

Regrets we have few
Not for show - but for pondering
To seek within our souls
What our thoughts are now binding

An encrypted waterfall
We no longer understand
Ignorance knows nothing
While wisdom cries

Exiled for unveiling
The misty clouds of god
Temptation - are we different?
For truth runs in our blood

Is this the end of choices?
A divine end - I must say
Fools remain in heaven
While as humans we must pay

5. SMILE


Intro]
What's up world, beautiful people, boys and girls
We about to take you on a journey, my man
Why don't you introduce yourself to the people?

[K'naan]
Salaam means peace, peace is good, this is K'naan the Dusty Foot Philosopher
Yo, join me on my journey, this is music, my music
And interpretations of other musics that I enjoy and love
And, um, this is called 'My Life is A Movie,' this whole record
But this song, the first one, is called "Smile," you know
An integral part of our community.
We smile while we're bleedin,' you know? Check it out

[VERSE 1]
Yeah, my tragedy's different, my life's deep, listen
Gotta bail, I'm limpin', walked outta hell's kitchen
Why bother cherishin' my past? It's everythin'
Wrong, and my arrogance, walk down the stairs pissin'
((cop us/coppers)) cause they're bitchin'
Life is unfair, singin' blues in my rap, drippin'
ooze out the blood, sinkin' deep down to earth
thinkin' leave out a ((nerp??herb?merc? chicken))
I should run, forfeit and everything I know, listen
I was (The misdirected) I was (The least expected)
Hop on (And get rejected) Walk on (And feel neglected)
I feel (Like I'm the message) Unheard (But I'm the message)
I'm the last prolific remaining offer from the gutter
(SHOT!) Was my girlfriend (When?) When we was younger
(Her) I was scarred, yo (Bullets) I survived though
(Death) It came easy (Truth) The games needs me
Never let 'em see me down, smile while I'm bleedin'

[CHORUS]
(Smile) When you're struggllin' (Smile) When you're in jail
(Smile) When you dead broke (Smile) And the rent's due
(Smile) You ain't got friends now (Smile) And no one knows you
Never let 'em see you down, smile while you bleedin'

(Smile) When he leaves you (Smile) Cause girl, he needs you
(Smile) Plenty single mothers cry the tears you do
(Smile) Despite the war (Smile) Despite the pain, yo
Never let 'em see you down, smile while you bleedin'

[VERSE 2]
To my man currently imprisoned, I can't speak your name
It hurt me that you never listened, it can't be the same
I had to grow my intuition, had me deep in pain
Cause I knew my options were either broke or the prison chains
I can't do it, I can't see it, look damnit, I can't blow it
I got a judges tellin' me my life's key, they will throw it
Uh-uh, no sir, I plan to have a chauffeur
And it seems to me this chopping crack is really going nowhere
Therefore (I'm resurrected) They call me (The poor Injection)
I infect you with the real, the dusty-feet-philoso-hectic
I spit, so sick, I skid out, I'm fallin', I'm shit outta luck
And I'm trapped but I'll get out
Can you help me? I'm goin' crazy
My mind plays tricks and I beat on floors like Bushwick
My fists bloody and blistered, a pair like I'm ballistic
I just stare at the red and smile while I'm bleedin'

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]
There are a few things you gotta take into account
I'm not an entertainer, I've never been a clown
I was born where the mothers give birth while they frown
I'd walk with the kids that would bbbrrraaaa a sound, uh
I never really thought I'd make it to fourteen
And anybody wanted to fight, I was most keen
Plus I had a little temper, it was often foreseen
Yo, say somethin' bout my momma I'd shoot ya gut out clean
But, uh, ya gotta keep in mind that I grew up in Mogadishu
The only law was gun law, and we don't walk with a pistol
You get laughed at for being so insensitive to the environment
Cause how will you be heard when them big boys is firin'?
War is no place for a child
Especially if he's rollin' with an AK and a smile
He had witnessed his own mother bloody in a towel
But please, please, never let 'em see you down, smile while you bleedin'

[CHORUS X2]

6. LAST DAWN


Bond of two
Wasted,
By a word
World of lies,
Now dead

Homicide
Of mind
Numb by the shock
Surprise
Drowning inside
A pool of sorrow
Milked out of hope
By those who care

No longer wish to see the sky
No longer wish to live a lie
Fed up with false truth
No more to suffer
Not another day!

[Chorus:]
Fading into the unknown
Bleeding, rotting all alone
The fire of life is long gone
This is the Last Dawn!

Twisted thoughts
Inside
Trying to hide
Failure on all levels

The mixed elixir
Of two now broken
The one thrives, the other rot
One lived on, the other never forgot

No longer wish to see the sky
No longer wish to live a lie

Enough with this pathetic life
This Is The Last Dawn Of Me

[Chorus]

VIDEO



7. MY OLD HOME


[Intro]
So yeah, basically
A lot of people ask me how life was then
So here it is...

[Verse 1]
My old home smelled of good birth
Boiled red beans, kernel oil and hand me down poetry
It's brick white-washed walls widowed by first paint
The tin roof top humming songs of promise while time is
Locked into demonic rhythm with the leaves
The trees had to win
Hugging them, loving them a torturous love
Buggin' when
It was over and done
The round cemented pot kept the rain drops cool
Neighbors and dwellers spatter in the pool
Kids playin football with his hand and sock
We had what we got, and it wasn't a lot
No one knew they were poor
We were all innocent to greeze judgment
The country was combusting with life like a long hibernating volcano
With a long tale of success like J-Lo
Farmers, fishers, fighters, even fools had a place in production
The coastal line was the place of seduction
The coral reef make you daze in reflection
The women walked with grace and perfection
And we just knew we were worriors too
Nothing morbid, its true
We were glorious
BOOM!

Then one day it came
Spoiled up a ray like rain
Like oil in a flame, it pained
The heart attack sudden
Odder than eleven
Harder than a punch in the womb
Harder than the lunch you consume
For us, it had a cancerous fume, more lust
Men who made killing hobbies,
Selling prout fully like healthy livestock
It made tides rock with a diligent mock
Confused are the people, infused in the evil
Professed to eject like Jews in the sequel, to win
It came in the morning, with a warning and without
The hurting was a burden, only certain was doubt
A mythical tale, no soul knows well
Liberty went to hell, freedom called for shells
Fierce was the blow, keep your ears to the show
It appears Orwell was right in '84
Had big brother kill Mother in her store
With all of us watching, we didn't lover her anymore
Peep my poem, Mother was my old home
Good winners looted -in my old home
Religion is burned down -in my old home
Kindness is shackled -in my old home
Justice has been raped -in my old home
Murderers hold post -in my old home
The land, bombers, ghosts -in my old home
We got pistols with eyes, corruption and lies
Trusting snakes, and death without breaks
Suspicious new borns live in our horn
Used to the pain, rack bodies not grain
Chopped limbs not trees
Spend lives not wealth
Seek vengeance not truth, the craziest youth
Hoist pain not plans, nigga' fuck your parents
Bandits will beat us down -in my old home
Rumors are law now -in my old home
Sedatives of faith -in my old home
Rapists are praised -in my old home
Demons dressed well -in my old home
Infants are nailed -in my old home
Spirits are jailed -in my old home
Grudges grow tails -in my old home
High roads of sea in electric haiden
Outward labor beneath stubborn faith
Our farms produce guilty grub and
Our kids depend on shifty luck, see
Our muse is life for death is old, so
Don't blame me for truth I told, say
Good winners looted -in my old home
Religion is burned down -in my old home
Kindness is shackled -in my old home
Justice has been raped -in my old home
Murderers hold post -in my old home
The land, bombers, ghosts -in my old home

8. BELIEVE IN LIES


And I stand all alone in a world of darkness
All sanctity is washed away
By crimson storm of false promises
Of human decay

We have betrayed our god
Now we worship the iron sword
We have forsaken the truth
Mislaid by a single word

Told by unseized hunger
For blood, flesh, control
They have burnt our eyes
They have burnt our soul

Merciless, beaten by fear
Cruel lies... No saviours in here!

I have walked to the battle under hot steaming sun,
I have lost my life, I have buried my sons,
I've believed in their words, I believed in their lies
I've walked through the bloodshed, now my cold blood cries!

Turn my blood into wine
And they will pour it into a glass
They'll take a sip
Yet will never know how painful it tasted

Turn my eyes blind
I will wander through time
We were given holy earth
Now it is defiled!

The Terror unleashed
The horror is pure
Pain deep underneath
Hidden, obscure

The Terror unleashed
The horror is pure
Pain deep underneath
Hidden, obscure

We are nothing but ashes
And cold graves of stone
As we keep on wandering
In darkness, All Alone

We are nothing but ashes
And cold graves of stone
As we keep on wandering
In darkness, All Alone... !

1. THIS IS ME

[Songwriters: Dodd, Andrew; Watts, Adam;]
Always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say

But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
It's time to let you know
To let you know

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me

Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark?
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star

Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me

There's no way to hold it in

The reason that I'm singing

You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me

There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me, this is me

There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

3. ME, MYSELF AND TIME




I can make the rain stop
If I wanna
Just by my attitude
I can take my laptop
Record a snapshot
And change a point of view

I just entered this brand new world
And I'm so open hearted
I know I've got a long way to go
But I, I'm just getting started

I'm over my head
And I know it, I know it
I'm doin' my best
Not to show it, to show it
Whatever it takes to be
What I was meant to be
I'm gonna try
Cause I'm livin' the dream
And I know it, I know it
I'm tryin' my best
Not to blow it, to blow it
And I know everything will be fine
With me, myself and time

I go where life takes me
But somedays it makes me
Want to change my direction
Sometimes it gets lonely
But I know that it's only
A matter of mind perception

I just entered this brand new world
And I'm so open hearted
I know I've got a long way to go
But I, I'm just getting started

I'm over my head
And I know it, I know it
I'm doin' my best
Not to show it, to show it
Whatever it takes to be
What I was meant to be
I'm gonna try
Cause I'm livin' the dream
And I know it, I know it
I'm tryin' my best
Not to blow it, to blow it
And I know everything will be fine
With me, myself and time

And maybe there's nothing
Like this moment
So just be real
And let the truth be spoken
Whatever's broke
I can make it unbroken
Turn the lead in my hand
And the stars stand golden
Just try, more love
If I just try, more love
Then I'll find myself in time

I'm over my head
And I know it, I know it
I'm doin' my best
Not to show it, to show it
Whatever it takes to be
What I was meant to be
I'm gonna try

I'm over my head
And I know it, I know it
I'm doin' my best
Not to show it, to show it
Whatever it takes to be
What I was meant to be
I'm gonna try
Cause I'm livin' the dream
And I know it, I know it
I'm tryin' my best
Not to blow it, to blow it
And I know everything will be fine
With me, myself and time

I'll find myself in time
I know I'll find myself
In time....

4. UNTIL YOU ARE MINE




My state of mind has finally
got the best of me
I need you next to me
I'll try to find a way that I
can get to you
Just wanna get to you

The world I see is perfect now,
you're all around
With you I can breathe

Until you're mine, I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I can't survive without you here
by my side
Until you're mine, not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine...

Alone inside, I can only hear
your voice
Ringing through the noise

Can't find my mind, keeps on
coming back to you
Always back to you

Wanted something out of reach
It's killing me, you're all i see, yeah

Until you're mine, I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I can't survive without you here by
my side
Until you're mine, not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine...

Just stop wondering
If we were meant to be
Forget about fate and just hold me
I'm ready to begin
The waiting has to end
Right now, today
I've gotta find a way

Mine...
Until you're
Mine...

Until you're mine, I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I can't survive without you here by
my side
Until you're mine, not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine...

My state of mind, has finally got the
best of me,
I need you next to me...

5. BELIEVE IN ME


[Songwriters: Dioguardi, Kara; Fields, John; Lovato, Demi;]



I'm losing myself tryin? to compete
With everyone else instead of just being me
Don't know where to turn
I've been stuck in this routine
I need to change my ways
Instead of always being weak

I don't wanna be afraid
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today
And know that I'm okay
?Cause everyone's perfect in their usual way
So you see, I just wanna believe in me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

The mirror can lie
Doesn't show you what's inside
And it, it can tell you you?re full of life
It's amazing what you can hide
Just by putting on a smile

I don't wanna be afraid
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today
And know that I'm okay
?Cause everyone's perfect in their usual way
So you see, I just wanna believe in me

I'm quickly finding out
I'm not about to break down, not today
I guess I always knew
That I had all the strength to make it through

And I cannot be afraid
I'm gonna wake up feeling beautiful today
And know that I'm okay
?Cause everyone's perfect in their usual way
So you see, now, now I believe in me
Now I believe in me...

6. FALLING OVER ME


[Songwriters: Fields, John; Lovato, Demi; Mclaughlin, Jon;]

I'm standing in the center of the room
I'm watching boys follow girl's perfume
All is as it should be I assume
Except for the distance between me and you

You're standing as a flower on a wall
The room is still but we're about to fall
And all the names that brought us here
Simply fade away

Who you are is falling over me
Who you are is falling over me
Who you are is everything I need
Who you are is everything I need

I'm hoping, I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one
And I'm hoping, I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one

I can't believe that night turned into today
I used the line you were supposed to say
And all the names that brought us here
Now we have to thank

Who you are is falling over me
Who you are is falling over me
And who you are has got me on my knees
Who you are has got me on my knees

I'm hoping, I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one

If you want I will wait, I will follow
I'm here to stay
As long as we're promised tomorrow
I promise you today I'll wait, I'll wait

Who you are is falling over me
Who you are is falling over me
And who you are has got me on my knees
Who you are is everything

I'm hoping, I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one
I'm hoping, I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one
You are the one

7. DON'T FORGET


[Songwriters: Jonas, Joseph; Jonas, Kevin Ii; Jonas, Nicholas; Lovato, Demi;]



Did you forget that I was even alive?
Did you forget everything we ever had?
Did you forget, did you forget about me?

Did you regret ever standing by my side?
Did you forget we were feeling inside?
Now I'm left to forget about us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song, you can't forget it

So now I guess this is where we have to stand
Did you regret ever holding my hand?
Never again, please don't forget, don't forget

We had it all, we were just about to fall
Even more in love, than we were before
I won't forget, I won't forget about us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song you can't forget it

Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song, you can't forget it at all

And at last all the pictures have been burned
And all the past is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget, please don't forget us

Somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song but you won't sing along
You've forgotten about us
Don?t forget

8. YOU GOT NOTHING ON ME


You Got Nothin On Me lyrics

U Got Nothin On Me !
U Got Nothin On Me !
U Got Nothin On Me !
U Got Nothin On Me !

Summer came and took me by surprise.
The California sunshine in my eyes.
Driving with the top down,
We sing along to our favorite songs ;
Nothing could go wrong.

Laughing as we gazed under the moon.
You kissed me and it never felt too soon.
Hard to believe that anything could tear us apart ;
Then you break my heart.

Now I know who you are...
U got nothin' on me !
I see, I should have known it from the start.
(U got nothin' on me !)
You can't tell me lies.
Don't even try,
Cause this is goodbye.
goodbye.

Caught you from the corner of my eye.
You smiled at a girl while passing by.
Thought you had me fooled, but you were wrong.
I know what's going on ; it didnt take me long.

It wasnt hard to read between the lines.
The necklace in your car that wasnt mine.
Nothing left for you to do or say.
So im on my way ; now its too late.

Now I know who you are...
U got nothin' on me !
I see, I should have known it from the start.
(U got nothin' on me !)
You can't tell me lies.
Don't even try,
Cause this is goodbye

To broken promises
Time to face your jealousness.
Dont bore me with apologies,
or go around crawling on your knees

U got nothin' on me !
(U got nothin' on me)
U got nothin' on me !

I know who you are...
Yeah I see... I should have known it from the start
You can't tell me lies
Don't even try
Cause this is goodbye

Now I know who you are...
U got nothin' on me !
I see, I should have known it from the start
(U got nothin' on me !)
You can't tell me lies
Don't even try,
Cause this is goodbye...
goodbye.

9. REMEMBER DECEMBER


[Songwriters: Fields, John; Lovato, Demi; Preven, Anne;]


I feel a separation coming on
'Cause I know you want to be moving on
I wish it would snow tonight
You'd pull me in, avoid a fight
'Cause I feel a separation coming on

Just prove that there is nothing left to try
'Cause the truth I'd rather we just both deny
You kissed me with those open eyes
It says so much, it's no surprise to you
But I've got something left inside

Don't surrender, surrender, surrender
Please remember, remember December
We were so in love back then
Now you're listening to what they say, don't go that way
Remember, remember December
Please remember, don't surrender

You said you wouldn't let them change your mind
'Cause when we're together fire melts the ice
Our hearts are both on overdrive
Come with me, let's run tonight
Don't let these memories get left behind

Don't surrender, surrender, surrender
Please remember, remember December
We were so in love back then
Now you're listening to what they say, don't go that way
Remember, remember December
Please remember

I remember us together with a promise of forever
We can do this, fight the pressure
Please remember December

Don't surrender, surrender, surrender
Please remember, remember December
We were so in love back then
Now you're listening to what they say, don't go that way
Remember, remember December
Please remember, don't surrender

10. GIFT OF A FRIEND



[Songwriters: Dodd, Andy; Lovato, Demi; Watts, Adam;]


Sometimes you think you'll be fine by yourself
'Cause a dream is a wish that you make all alone
It's easy to feel like you don't need help
But it's harder to walk on your own

You'll change inside when you realize

The world comes to life and everything's bright
From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side
That helps you to find the beauty you are
When you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend
The gift of a friend

Someone who knows when you're lost and you're scared
And there through the highs and the lows
Someone you can count on, someone who cares
Beside you wherever you'll go

You'll change inside when you realize

The world comes to life and everything's bright
From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side
That helps you to find the beauty you are
When you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend

And when your hope crashes down
Shattering to the ground you, you feel all alone
When you don't know which way to go
And there's no signs leading you home, you're not alone

The world comes to life and everything's bright
From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side
That helps you to find the beauty you are
When you open your heart and believe in
When you believe in, when believe in the gift of a friend

11. SMILE



Woke up this morning
Drank some coffee
Love in a big mail truck is all I need

There's only one thing I should do

Just smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile (Smile) Smile (Smile)
Let shine every morning
Smile like you mean it
Let me see you smile

In a big world
In a free country
Anywhere you go show it off

There's only one thing you should do

Just smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile (Smile) Smile (Smile)
Let shine every morning
Smile like you mean it
Let me see you smile
