1. OUT HERE ON MY OWN




Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in.
Make believin' is hard alone
Out here on my own
We're always proving who we are
Always reaching for that rising star
To guide me far, and shine me home
Out here on my own
When I'm down and feelin' blue,
I close my eyes so I can be with you.
Baby be strong for me, baby belong to me
Help me through, help me need you
Until the morning sun appears
Making light of all my fears,
I dry the tears I've never shown
Out here on my own
But when I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby be strong for me, baby belong to me
Help me through, help me need you.
Sometimes I wonder where I've been,
Who I am, do I fit in.
I may not win, but I can't be thrown,
Out here on my own.
Out here on my own.

2. FAME


[Songwriters: Pitchford, D; Gore, M;]

Baby you look at me and tell me what you see
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time, I'll make you forget the rest
I've got more in me and you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hand
Don't you know who I am?
Remember my name

(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
(High)
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry

(Fame)
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
(Remember, remember, remember, remember)
(Remember, remember, remember, remember)

Baby hold me tight, 'cause you can make it right
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love and take all I've got to give
Baby I'll be tough, too much is not enough, no
I'll grab your heart till it breaks
You got what it takes

(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
(High)
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry

(Fame)
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
(Remember, remember, remember, remember)
(Remember, remember, remember)

(Fame)
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
(Remember, remember, remember, remember)
(Remember, remember, remember, remember)
Remember my name

(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
(Fame)
I'm gonna learn how to fly
(High)
I feel it coming together
(Fame)
People will see me and cry
(Remember my name)

3. ANYONE CAN SEE

If I could I`d try to know you
And I would never let you go my love
But if I wanna make you
A better time it would take today
Someday

But if I wanna make you
A better time it would take today
Someday

CHORUS:
Anyone can see
What you mean to me
Anyone would know (would know)
My love is there
Waiting just for you

On the night when you left me
I cried wishing you would stay
Stay
Maybe I don`t have much strength
To tell you I need you so
I guess you`ll never know

CHORUS:
Anyone can see
What you mean to me
Anyone can tell (can tell)
I`d play for you
So easily

Anyone can see
What you mean to me
Anyone can tell (can tell)
My love for you
So easily
So easy

(Anyone, anyone, anyone
Anyone can see)
(Anyone, anyone, anyone
Anyone can see)
Anyone can see...
Anyone can see...

4. WHAT A FEELING


First when there's nothing
but a slow glowing dream
that your fear seems to hide
deep inside your mind.
All alone I have cried
silent tears full of pride
in a world made of steel,
made of stone.
Well, I hear the music,
close my eyes, feel the rhythm,
wrap around, take a hold
of my heart.
What a feeling.
Bein's believin'.
I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life.
Take your passion
and make it happen.
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life.
Now I hear the music,
close my eyes, I am rhythm.
In a flash it takes hold
of my heart.
What a feeling.
Bein's believin'.
I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life.
Take your passion
and make it happen.
Pictures come alive, now I'm dancing through my life.
What a feeling.
What a feeling I AM MUSIC NOW
Bein's believin'. I AM RHYTHM NOW
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life.
What a feeling. YOU CAN REALLY HAVE IT ALL
What a feeling. PICTURES COME ALIVE WHEN I CALL
I can have it all I CAN REALLY HAVE IT ALL
Have it all PICTURES COME ALIVE WHEN I CALL
CALL CALL CALL CALL WHAT A FEELING
I can have it all BEIN'S BELIEVIN
Bein's believin' TAKE YOUR PASSION
MAKE IT HAPPEN

what a feeling BEIN'S BELIEVIN' (fade

5. WHY ME


Life felt so right
I was drowned in your light
With the world so in tune 'til you made me out for a fool.
Left with nothing to do can't forget about you
With my heart in my hands
pack my bags
leave the memories with yc
You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more

You used me
oh
so helplessly
don't want your sympathy

Why me? Why me? Why me
when I was the one
Who could set your heart free?
Why me? Why me? Why me?
You took all the love I gave up selfishly. - Why me?
Trapped in your space
never thought I could face
Going one step beyond when I knew deep inside I was strong.
Now I know what it takes
can't repeat the mistakes
When new love comes along
I'll give me what I'll call my own.


You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
. . .
Why me? Why me? Why me
when I was the one
Who could set your heart free? Why me? Why me? Why me? . . .

6. BREAK DANCE


Well
what's this new feeling coming out of the streets

Everybody's talking 'bout it wherever they meet.
Down by the corner I keep getting the heat

Then my feet start moving to the rhythmic beat.
Breakdancing
break out - breakdancing
break out.
They used to do the locomotion
do the jerk and the twist

But there just ain't never been nothing like this.
Now popping and locking is a new way of talking

Things will work out for sure spinning 'round on the floor.
Breakdancing
break out - breakdancing
break out.
Hearts are pumping
beat if thumping
love's the way you're looking tonight
Fever's rising
no surprises
we won't have the time to fight.
Breakdancing
break out - breakdancing
break out.
Breakdancing
break out - breakdancing
break out.
Breakdancing
break out - break dancing
break out. . . .

7. THE DREAM


I've been chasing dreams for so long
Just one step behind and then they're gone
Illusions of love would come and go
I guess you have to hurt before you grow
And everybody knows
Never let go of the, never let go of the dream
I always seem to lose what I thought was mine
And many times I tried to leave it behind
Deep inside, hope was still alive
Deep inside, dreams will never die
That is why we're movin' closer to the truth
It's really great for me to be here
I've won over the pain and the fear
It's been so very hard through the years
Been looking through a rainbow of tears
And still I never really let go of the dream
Sometimes I saw my life just falling apart
And all the rejection tearing at my heart
Deep inside, hope was still alive
Deep inside, dreams will never die
If you try there'll be so much more for you
It's really great for me to be here
I've won over the pain and the fear
It's been so very hard through the years
Been looking through a rainbow of tears
And still I never really let go of the dream
We can all be free, we hold the key
If we can see what we wanna be
Life's never easy, you get no guarantees
Why not give your all and see what you can find?

8. YOU WERE MADE FOR ME


People say I'm naive
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
And it will surely break
If love should ever leave

But I don't mind what they say
I know this love is gonna stay
Cause in the deepest part
Of my heart of hearts
I know that we will
Always be this way

(CHORUS)
I know you were made for me
Nothing can ever change
It's meant to be
Just like the moon was
Made for a lonely night
You are my light

Forever in this light

I thought I knew love before
With you I've found
There's so much more
More than the love we make
It's the feelings
We two can explore

We're just a woman and a man
We'll make mistakes like we all can
But through it all, you'll see
By your side, I will be
Growing closer to you
Each passing day

(CHORUS) 2X

I've heard it said
That love is a crazy game
You play a little while
Then the partners change

Somehow my heart knows our
Love has stood the test of time
You'll be mine

Shady Sadie, serving lady
Don't pay her no mind, no
She'll take every dime

She's got a one-a-day lunch
Good for all the bunch, yeah
Hot lunch, yeah

Tuna fish, our favorite dish

If it's blue it could be stew

10. I SING THE BODY ELECTRIC


I sing the body electric...
I celebrate the me yet to come...
I toast to my own reunion
When I become one with the sun...

And I look back on Venus
I look back on Mars
And I burn with the fire of 10 million stars
And in time
And in time
We will all be stars...

I sing the body electric
I glory in the glow of rebirth
Creating my own tomorrow
When I shall embody the earth...

And I'll serenade Venus
I'll serenade Mars
And I'll burn with the fire of 10 million stars
And in time

And in time
We will all be stars...
(oh yeah)

We are the emperors now
And we are the Czars
And in time
And in time
We will all be stars...

I sing the body electric...
I celebrate the me yet to come...
I toast to my own reunion
When I become one with the sun...

And I'll look back on Venus
I'll look back on Mars
And I'll burn with the fire of 10 million stars
And in time (and in time)
And in time (and in time)
We will all be stars...

11. LOVE SURVIVES


Now I know you're safe here in my heart
You will always be with me
We'll never be apart
Never knew how strong my love could be
You're the one I've waited for
Now you're home
I believe
::Chorus::
Love survives beyond our lives
I feel those ties growing stronger (Growing stronger)
Love survives the tears we've cried
Yes, love (Yes, love)
Survives it all

Love survives it all

Even when we want to run and hide
Love comes in to pull us through
From deep inside
Oh, the magic (The magic)
Has made us who we are (Who we are)
Don't you see we've come so far?
Take my hand
You made me understand

::Chorus::
Love survives it all

::Chorus::
Love survives it all

12. YOU TOOK MY LIFE AWAY



It's very clear, with no more tears
I've had to face up to the truth
This I fear, you've left me here
With the mistakes made in my youth
But I'll be strong-though it seems wrong

I just go on wanting your love
There's nothing left for me to say
I've watched my dreams all fade away

I won't hold on to something gone
I'll bear the pain another day
Without a clue I've played the fool

And now I realize that

You-You took my life away
You-You took my heart away from me oh, oh, oh

I'll sing the same familiar song
but can't bear to be alone
I won't hold on to something gone
I'll bear the pain another day
Without a clue I've played the fool
And now I realize that

You-You took my life away
You-You took my heart away from me oh, oh, oh

13. NO ONE BUT YOU



No one but You
Knew I was lost and scared
You picked me up
At last I found
Someone who cared

No one but You
Held out a hand to me
You held me close
Showed me who I am
All I can be


Out on my own
I was standing alone
And I ran to You

Tears took their toll
But You opened my soul
And that's when I finally knew
There was no one but You

No one but You
Gave me my life again
I didn't fall
And I know why
You gave me strength to try
Your sweet love got me through
No one but You
No one but You
No one but You
