1. LOVE SONG




Head under water and they tell me
To breathe easy for awhile
The breathing gets harder, even I know that

Made room for me, it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well
But you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you ask for it
'Cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way

I'm not gonna write you to stay
All you have is leaving
I'm gon' need a better reason
To write you a love song today, today

I learned the hard way that they all say
Things you wanna hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under

You and your twisted words
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you ask for it
'Cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way

I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
Imay need a better reason
To write you a love song today

Promise me you'll leave the light on
To help me see daylight, my guide, gone
'Cause I believe there's a way
You can love me because I say

I won't write you a love song
'Cause you ask for it
'Cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this

Is that why you wanted a love song?
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way

I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute

Babe, I'll walk the seven seas
When I believe that there's a reason
To write you a love song today, today

2. MY LOVE

He bends his breath around my name
And I am humbled
I feel small and plain
But his arms are angels by his side
You need not ask if they're open, just how wide

His lips are day
And his skin is night
Oooh, and with our love we conjure up the twilight
His fingers are music to my soul
And I feel his song play everywhere I go

My love, my love is on his way
I can't wait to see the day
I thankfully lay me down
Oh, my love, my love is on his way
I'm waiting patiently
But if you see me now
My love, please hurry

He loves with rhythm
And paints with flame
He comes in pieces with no name
I won't need answers, I'll just know
Cause I've read the sonnets about his soul

He can be ordinary in the best ways
And still dance like a poet
Through every word he says

My love, my love is on his way
I can't wait to see the day I thankfully
Lay me down
My love, my love is on his way
I'm waiting patiently
But if you see me now
My love, please hurry

All that I never knew
Can you see me now
All that I never said
Can you see me now

He makes me crazy
He makes me cruel
Oh, but I pray he makes me anything
But a fool

Oooh, my love
Please hurry

3. BOTTLE IT UP

There'll be girls across the nation
That will eat this up babe
I know that it's your soul but could you bottle it up and
Get down to the heart of it,
No it's my heart you're shit out of your luck
Don't make me tell you again my love love love love.
Love love love love.

I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts
With her delicate soul
I don't claim to know much except soon as you start
To make room for the parts
That aren't you it gets harder to bloom in a garden of
Love love love love
Love Love love love

Only thing I ever could need, only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's

Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for Love
Love
Love
Love

We can understand the sentiment you're saying to us
Oh,
But sensible sells so could you kindly shut up
And get started
At keeping your part of the bargain aw please
Little darlin'
You're killing me sweetly with love love love love
Love love love love

Only thing I ever could need only one good thing
Worth trying to be

Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for Love
Love
Love
Love

Started as a flicker meant to be a flame
Skin has gotten thicker but it burns the same
Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall
Baby's getting next to nowhere with her back
Against the wall.
You meant to make me happy make me sad.
Want to make it better better so bad.
But save your resolutions for your never new year
There is only one solution I can see here.

Love you're all I ever could need only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for love, love, love, love
Oh, only gonna get get what you give away,
So give love, love
Only gonna get get what you give away
Love.

4. GRAVITY

Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone

You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain

Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone

Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need
Here on the ground

But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know
Is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down

You're on to me, on to me and all over
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long

5. LOVE ON THE ROCKS

We met on a rainy evening in the summertime
Don't think I need to tell you more
I needed a raise I worked so hard for this love of mine
Still I got nothing to show for it.

Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head.

Here's a simplification of everything we're going though
You plus me is bad news
But you're a lovely creation and I like to think that I am too
But my friend said I look better without you.

Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head.

Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
Okay we'll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.

You love the chase but hate me for the runaround
We both just tired of the whole thing.
You tell me what you want you need you know you have to have
And I just pretend I'm listening

Too tired this time to deal with old suits you wear with your ties that won't bind.

Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
Okay we'll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.

Hot as hell cold as ice sip it slow cause it's so nice
Dulls my senses drives my pain but I do it again
Burns a bit to the touch dangerous if it's too much
If this bottle could talk
Love on the rocks

Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
Okay we'll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.

6. HOLD MY HEART


I never meant to be the one to let you down
If anything, I thought I saw myself going first
Didn't know how to stick around
How to see anybody but me be getting hurt

I keep remembering the same night
And the conversation breaking up the moon
I didn't wanna tell you, you were right
Like the seasons changing, oh, I felt it too

Does anybody know
How to hold my heart
How to hold my heart
Cause I don't wanna let go, let go, let go
Too soon

I wanna tell you so
Before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
Cause I don't wanna let go, let go, let go
Of you

I'm the kind to try to tell you lies
But the truth is, you've been hiding from me too
Sitting and sneaking in behind your eyes
Same thing yours could ever do

Does anybody know
How to hold my heart
How to hold my heart
Cause I don't wanna let go, let go, let go
Too soon

I wanna tell you so
Before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
Cause I don't wanna let go, let go, let go
Of you

Is anybody listening?
Cause I'm crying
Is anybody listening?

Does anybody know
How to hold my heart
How to hold my heart
Cause I don't wanna let go, let go, let go
Too soon

I wanna tell you so
Before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
Cause I don't wanna let go, let go, let go
Of you

Does anybody know
How to hold my heart
How to hold my heart
Cause I don't wanna let go, let go, let go
Too soon

I wanna tell you so
Before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
Cause I don't wanna let go, let go, let go

Don't wanna let go, let go of you
Don't wanna let go

7. BREATHE AGAIN

Car is parked, bags are packed, but what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch, the one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone and now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
And the distance between that was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

8. ONE SWEET LOVE

Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
A nameless face to think I see
To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is made out of
My own devices....
Could I be wrong?

[CHORUS]
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?

Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care.
No ordinary wings I'll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do I'll open up
The moon for you
Just come down soon

[CHORUS]
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.

Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on
The southern rain
As I do, I don't look don't touch don't do anything
But hope that there is a you.

The earth that is the space between,
I'd banish it from under me...to get to you.
Your unexpected love provides my solitary's
Suicide...oh I wish I knew

[CHORUS]
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.

9. KING OF ANYTHING

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I’d say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

You’ve got opinions, man
We’re all entitled to ‘em, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine
And get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe, but I’m not drowning
There’s no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

You sound so innocent, all full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset

I’m not the one who’s lost with no direction
But you’ll never see
You’re so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down, just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

Let me hold your crown, babe

10. LET THE RAIN

I wish I were pretty
I wish I were brave
If I owned this city
Then I'd make it behave

And if I were fearless
Then I'd speak my truth
And the world would hear this
That's what I wish I'd do, yeah

If my hands could hold them you'd see
I'd take all these secrets in me
And I'd move and mold them to be
Something I'd set free

I want to darken in the skies
Open the floodgates up
I want to change my mind
I want to be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I want to cry until the end of time

I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down tonight

I hold on to worry so tight
It's safe in here right next to my heart
Who now shouts at the top of her voice
Let me go, let me out, this is not my choice

And I always felt it before
That the world was filled with much more
Than the drowning soul I've learned to be
I just need the rain to remind me

I want to darken in the skies
Open the floodgates up
I want to change my mind
I want to be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I want to cry until the end of time

I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down

I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down

I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down tonight

11. KALEIDOSCOPE HEART

All the colors
Of the rainbow
Hidden 'neath my skin

Hearts have colors
Don't we all know?
Red runs through our veins

Feel the fire burning up
Inspire me with blood
Of blue and green

I have hope
Inside is not a heart
But a kaleidoscope

KUNJUBI

RAINBOW: MAKE YOUR MOVE [9]

The brainchild of former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, Rainbow quickly developed into one of the '70s most successful heavy metal bands behind charismatic front man Ronnie James Dio. Together, the duo would produce a string of acclaimed albums which are still considered classics of the genre. But the group would change their musical approach numerous times following the singer's departure, eventually confusing and alienating much of their audience. Releasing eight albums during it's decade long run, the band finally came to an end when Blackmore departed to rejoin his old Deep Purple comrades in a full-fledged reunion in 1984. And while the impact of Rainbow's influence has faded with the intervening decades, theirs was a crucial chapter in the development of heavy metal and hard rock.

Rainbow (also known as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow or Blackmore's Rainbow) were an English rock band, controlled by former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore from 1975 to 1984 and 1994 to 1997. It was originally established with former Elf members, though over the years Rainbow went through many lineup changes. In addition to lead singers Ronnie James Dio, Graham Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner and Doogie White, the project consisted of numerous backing musicians. The band started out combining mystical lyric themes with neo-classical metal, but went in a more streamlined commercial style following Dio's departure from the group.

Rainbow was ranked #90 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.

1. CATCH THE RAINBOW


When evening falls
She’ll run to me
Like whispered dreams
Your eyes can’t see
Soft and warm
She’ll touch my face
A bed of straw
Against the lace

* we believed we’d catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on ships of wonder
But life’s not a wheel
With chains made of steel
So bless me come the dawn
Come the dawn

2. DESPERATE HEART

Yesterday you were here by my side
Nothing to prove and nothing left to hide
You promised me there would be no goodbye
But now I find another set of lies
Babe you must be crazy
How could you be so blind
Why would you deceive me
Now you’re saying that you’re leaving me behind
So strong I’m not gonna run away
Want you to know that I’m gonna break through
How long can I go on this way
There’s nothing I can do

Desperate heart think you better hold out
Torn apart I was left to bleed
Don’t start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality
Did my best did the best that I could
It’s all been wasted just misunderstood
You keep on talking
Your words are sounding so smoothe
Why don’t you say it
You just want to cut me loose
Oh don’t say that you love me
Don’t wont to hear that you tried
Oh don’t tell me that you need me
Don’t want to hear none of your alibis
So strong I’m not gonna run away
Want you to know that I’m gonna break through
How long can I go on this way
There’s nothing I can do

Desperate heart think you better hold out
Torn apart I was left to bleed
Don’t start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality

So strong I’m not gonna run away
Want you to know that I’m gonna break through
How long can I go on this way
Tell me what can I do
Nothing I can do

Desperate heart think you better hold out
Torn apart I was left to bleed
Don’t start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality
(twice)

3. I SURRENDER



I surrender to your heart babe
Do anything that you want me to do
Please be tender I’m in your hands girl
This is a feeling I never knew
You know I tried to make it on my own
That’s not the way it was meant to be
Spend my time waiting by the phone
Oh darling come back to me

I surrender, I surrender
I’m giving up the role of pretender
Oh be tender, girl be tender
Can’t you feel the love that I send you
I surrender.

I remember, seems like a lifetime
Can’t believe it’s a matter of days
Since you left I’m near to heartbreak
I want you so bad don’t turn away
What does it take to stay by my side
You know I’ll do what you want me to
Don’t take away this feeling inside
I’m still in love with you

I surrender, I surrender
I’m giving up the role of pretender
Oh be tender, girl be tender
Can’t you feel the love that I send you
I surrender.

I surrender, I surrender
Darling now won’t you be tender
Surrender, oh surrender
Feel the love that I send you
I surrender.

4. BRING ON THE NIGHT [ DREAM CHASER]


I was taking a chance on a tight-rope
Walking the line to the end
I was ready to fall had my back to the wall
But I'm flying again...
I been shifting my gears. I been moving
Cause they wanted me dead or alive
But I'm making a break and I want you to take a ride
Take a ride -
Bring on the night
into the shadows and out of the light
Bring on the night
Let the Dream Chaser take you away
When the sun hits another horizon...
and the joker has started to deal...
You can quit if you choose but there's nothing to lose
By a spin of the wheel
Gotta burn all your bridges behind you, they'll keep dragging
you down if you stay...
and I know I ain't wrong cause I'm free and I'm on my way
on my way...
Bring on the night
into the shadows and out of the light
Bring on the night
Let the Dream Chaser take you away
I live on the edge of tomorrow
I'm racing along on the wind
I can see what I need, you better believe
I'm playin' to win
I got nothin' to fear when I'm flyin...
Cause yesterday's over and gone
and there's nothin' I can do...so I gotta keep movin' on..
Movin' on -
Movin' on -
Bring on the night
into the shadows and out of the light
Bring on the night
Let the Dream Chaser take you away...take you away
Bring on the night
"Dream Chaser"
repeat till fade

5. MAKE YOUR MOVE



You better not mess around with me
You know you better think twice
Because I’ve been running on a really bad streak
And I’m just looking for a fight
So you took me by surprise
Thought I was gonna run
But the cross fire is in my eyes
And my body holds the gun
Here I come
You better get ready to make your move
Got my finger on the trigger and I’m gonna shoot
Get ready make your move
Got your name on my bullet and my aim is true

You better not mess around with me
I got you in my sights
I’ve been running on a really bad streak
Gonna shoot you down tonight
My back’s against the wall
You know that you better think twice
One of us is gonna fall
I’m looking for a fight and the time is right
You better get ready to make your move
Got my finger on the trigger and I’m gonna shoot
I say you better get ready
Make your move
Got your name on my bullet and my aim is true

6. STILL I AM SAD

See the stars come fallin' down the sky
Gently passing, they kiss your tear drops dry
See the wind come, softly blow
Your hair from your face
And the rain comes falling down
In its crazy way
Still I'm sad

For myself my tears just fall in the dust
As I search in the night and find they're lost
See the wind come gently blow
Time into my heart
And the rain comes falling down
While we're apart
Still I'm sad

Version 2 (Yardbirds' version?)

See the stars come joining down from the skies
Gently passing they kiss your tears when you cry
See the wind of summer blow your hair upon your head
See the rain, the falling rain, it's rain
Still I'm sad

Oh my flowers, my tears are falling two days
They are driving the night profound, they are lost
Flower, flower the wind is blowing
Time into my heart
When the wind blows hard, we are apart
Still I'm sad

Oh, oh, oh, oh, Still I'm sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, How I'm sad

7. STAR STRUCK


If I’m high on a hill
She will still be looking down at me
What does she see
That brings her closer every day to my heart
If I’m away from home
And think I’m all alone
She’s there, somewhere
I look around to see
And looking back at me
She’s there, beware
Creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before
And I know it can mean that

* the lady’s starstruck she’s nothing but bad luck
The lady’s starstruck running after me
The lady’s starstruck she’s nothing but bad luck, yeah, yeah

I could fly to the moon
But she’d soon find a way to be there
I never knew for a while
That a smile made ’em really care
She wants a souvenir
To everyone it’s clear
She’s hooked, one look
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs
But not me, ’cause I see
She’s creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before and I know it can mean that

*

I used to be a game
Now I can’t repeat my name at all
She seems to believe that
I never can refuse her call
She wants a souvenir
To everyone it’s clear
She’s hooked, one look
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs
But not me, ’cause I see
She’s creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before and I know it can mean that

* x 2

And back of a tree
I’m looking back at me
Blind and off my state
I’ve just got to beware
The lady’s starstruck
Yes, she’s bad luck, bad luck

8. Since You've Been Gone

I get the same old dream, same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed ? put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts like that since our break-up

These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you've put me in

CHORUS Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
I?m out of my head, can?t take it
Could I be wrong, but since you've been gone
You cast a spell, so break it
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Since you've been gone

So in the night I stand beneath the back street light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, but night-time comes around to soon
You can?t know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just go to show you don?t give a damn

CHORUS

If you will come back baby, you know you'll never do wrong

CHORUS

9. STREET OF DREAMS

I heard the sound of voices in the night
Spellbound there was someone calling
I looked around no one was in sight
Pulled down I just kept on falling
I’ve seen this place before
You were standing by my side
I’ve seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I want it to be
I know it’s a mystery
Do you remember me on a street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams

There you stood a distant memory
So good like we never parted
Said to myself I knew you’d set me free
And here we are right back where we started
Something’s come over me
And I don’t know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now I know I see what I want it to be
But it’s still a mystery

Do you remember me on the street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
You are on every face I see

2. HEART STRINGS

Lyrics to Heartstrings :
[Verse 1:]
How Many Times Have I Asked Myself
Would You Love Me And Never Leave
You Know I Adore You Baby
You That I Need You Baby
How Many Times I Convienced Myself
I Could Be Evereything That You Dreamed
You Know My Arms Are Shelter Baby
You Know My Heart Is Yours Baby

And Having You In The Front Row Of My Life
Is Better Than A Sold Out Crowd Every Single Night

[Chorus:]
You Make Scream High Like Tina (Oh!)
Shine Like Iâm The Brightest Star
The Way Strumming On My Heartsrings
You Make Wanna Wail Alittle Louder (Alittle Louder)
I Feel Like Your New Guitar
The Way Strumming On My Heartsrings
Keep Strumming On My Heartsrings
Play It For Me

[Verse 2:]
How Many Times Did You Lay With Me
Touch My Body And Made It Breathe
Thatâs Why I Adore You Baby
You Know I Really Need You Baby
How Many Times Did You Laugh With Me
Inspired Me To Believe I Trust Your Every Word
You Know I Wouldnât Doubt You

[Bridge:]
You Give Me A 1000 Melodies
I Want To Sing Them All About The
Way You Make Me Feel (So Donât Wake Me)
So Donât Wake Me If Iâm In A Dream
I Got The Man Iâve Always Wanted
And He Makes Me Wanna Scream (Makes Me Wanna Scream)

[Vamp:]
I Wanna Be A Wish For You (Oh!)
Your Fairytale
Your Strong Bright Armor
A Smooth Summer Sail
Your Warm Caress
A Late Night Kiss (The Way You're Strumming On My Heartstrings)
I Wanna Be Your Tears Of Joy (Oh!)
The Ear You Tell(Oh!)
Your Shelter From The Storm
And Your Midnight Prayer
The Melody
The Song You Sing (The Way Strumming On My Heartstrings)

3. THE WORLD AIN'T READY

[Verse 1:]
She had the mind of a woman, and a body of a man
No one she talked to,would wanna understand
Spent her lonely days pretending
Some how fitting in
But at night she put her high heels on
Showing her sexy skin
She'd tear up the dance floor
Breaking every rule
Driving every guy crazy
No one really knew
The struggle she was goin through
Playing different roles
Wouldn't let you get you close
Afraid to be exposed

[Chorus:]
Be you the real you
Love who you are
Don't let nobody confuse your precious heart
Somebody's right might be a wrong
Girl you know where you belong
Do what you gotta do
Even if the world aint ready for you

[Verse 2:]
Guy at the corner store
Got a daughter who likes girls
No matter how he tries
Daddy can't change her morals
So he buys her pretty dresses
Instead of Baseball Caps
And handpicks her flowers
And kisses her while she naps
The girl loves her daddy
And wants to see him happy
Says "I do" to a man
Hugs her family at the wedding
But underneath the vail
She feels she decieved
Herself
Her man
Her lover
And the daddy she wanted to please

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
So easy to laugh at somebody
Without giving a chance
Single out the stranger
Not trying to understand
That people come in different
Sizes, colors, and beliefs
So quick to point the finger
Until the finger points at you

[Chorus]

4. NO REGRETS

No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No regrets

I'm at the station pumping gas in my car
Ready to take a road trip, but scared to go too far
I'm on a tight rope trying to balance beam
But inside I feel like I'm falling emotionally, y'all

Because my body's strong, but my mind is stressed
So I say a prayer and jump the fence
I've gotta find my confidence
No looking back, no regrets

See there's a road in front of me
And what is there, I can't see
But I have no fear, no second guess
I'm gonna take my chance with no regrets

I'm at my computer, I got an e-mail to send
But if I dare press that button, it might be the end
I've got decisions, people in my life to please
I wanna do what's best for them, but somehow leave some for me
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Because my body's strong, but my mind is stressed
So I say a prayer and jump the fence
I've gotta find my confidence
No looking back, no regrets

See there's a road in front of me
And what is there, I can't see
Visit http://www.xtralyrics.com
But I have no fear, no second guess
I'm gonna take my chance with no regrets

If I had to make one wish for my life
It would be unconditional love and freedom of my mind
I'm gonna ask for what I'm worth and give from the heart
I'm gonna place my past behind
And watch the blessings rain from the sky

Because my body's strong, but my mind is stressed
So I say a prayer and jump the fence
I've gotta find my confidence
No looking back, no regrets

See there's a road in front of me
And what is there, I can't see
But I have no fear, no second guess

I don't know about you but here's what I have to do
I have to get up dust myself off
Accept myself, keep moving on
Because I'm stronger and I'm wiser and I'm better than I was before

Now I can say no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can say no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

I can say no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No regrets, no regrets
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

We can say no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
You can say no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No regrets, no regrets

Alecia Beth Moore (born September 8, 1979), better known by her stage name Pink (stylized as P!nk), is an American contralto singer-songwriter, musician, acrobat, dancer and actress, who rose to fame in early 2000. She released her first single "There You Go", on her first album, the R&B-oriented Can't Take Me Home, in 2000 via LaFace Records, which garnered commercial success. Her more pop rock-oriented second studio album, Missundaztood, which began a marked shift in the sound of her music, was released in 2001 and was a huge success worldwide. Pink released her third album, Try This, in November 2003, which although less successful commercially than her previous release, still managed to sell around 3 million copies and earned her a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the single Trouble. Her fourth album, called I'm Not Dead, was released in April 2006. The album generated several hit singles, including "Stupid Girls", "U + Ur Hand" and "Who Knew". Both "U + Ur Hand" and "Who Knew" went to #1 on the pop chart. Her fifth album, Funhouse, was released in late October 2008 and was preceded by her first solo number one on the Hot 100, "So What". The album notched three other Top 20 hits; "Sober", "Please Don't Leave Me" and "Glitter in the Air"

According to Billboard Pink is the #13 Artists Of The Decade and #1 Pop Song Artist of the Decade (2000–2010) [2]. She has also scored ten Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 US hits, including eight as a solo artist, and won two Grammy Awards, 5 MTV Music Awards and 2 Brit Awards. The People's Chart, announced through BBC Radio 1, declared Pink as the 11th Most Played Artist on UK Radio of the past decade (2000 to 2009).[3] To date, Pink has sold over 34 million albums worldwide.[4] Forbes Magazine named Pink the 27th most powerful celebrity in the world with $44 million earned between June 2009 and June 2010.

1. LOVE IS SUCH A CRAZY THING

I never thought I'd find someone
But you came along and made me see
That you were the only one for me
Boy, I love you constantly
[Bridge:]
You are my love, my only love
Baby my heart belongs to you
Be with me, don't play with me
If you want love just let me know

[Chorus:]
Love...love is such a crazy thing
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real
Oh love, love is such a crazy thing
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real (love for real)

I dreamed of someone like you before
But I never thought I'd get the chance
To romance someone as sweet as you
I hope you feel the same as I do

[Repeat Bridge]

Love, love is such a crazy thing (crazy feeling)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real (boy you are my love)
Love, love is such a crazy thing (love is such a crazy thing)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real (oh my love)

[Repeat Bridge]

Love, love is such a crazy thing (it's too crazy for me)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is the love, is it real, is it real
Love, love is such a crazy thing (love is such a crazy thing)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real, love for real
(baby I think of you, I wanna be with you, I don't understand, is this love for real?
You see I dream of you...every night and day.
I don't understand, is this love for real?
Love's such a crazy thing...)

What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I've never been this nasty
Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest

4. GLITTER IN THE AIR



Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?

Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it

Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?

Have you ever looked fear in the face

And said I just don't care

It's only half past the point of no return

The tip of the ice burg

The sun before the burn

The thunder before lightning

The breathe before the phrase

Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?

You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone

Have you ever been touch so gently you had to cry?

Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion

The hourglass on the table

The walk before the run

The breathe before the kiss

And the fear before the flames

Have you ever felt this way?

La La La La La La La La

There you are, sitting in the garden

Clutching my coffee,

Calling me sugar

You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?

Lasso the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight

Have you ever held your breathe and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?

Tonight

5. WHY DID I EVER LIKE YOU



Barabarabaraadada
There was a 5.8 earthquake today
and it kinda got me thinking
I'd still have all my hate for you in tact
even if I lost everything

What did I say
Why are you shaking your head
You know you done me wrong
I may be crazy it's all in my head
But I want you darling gone

Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me

eh eh eh eh (repeats for a bit)

It's hard to believe I ever laughed at anything you said
Cos you're just not funny
Who would believe I'd let you do all those things
Oh I guess the joke was on me

I've tried to be zen
I've even asked all my friends
To help my let it slide
But all I see is your face
In my favourite place
And I can't help but wonder why

Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me

eh eh eh eh (repeats for a bit)

Yeaaahhheee

I've tried to be zen
I've even asked all my friends
To help my let it slide
All I see is your face
In my favourite place
And I can't help but wonder why

Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me

eh eh eh eh (repeats for a bit)

Tell me why did I
Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me

6. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU



I don't mind it
I don't mind at all
It's like you're the swing set
And I'm the kid that falls
It's like the way we fight
The times I've cried
We come to blows
And every night
The passion's there
So it's got to be right
Right?

No I don't believe you
When you say don't come around here no more
I won't remind you
You said we wouldn't be apart
No I don't believe you
When you say you don't need me anymore
So don't pretend to
Not love me at all

I don't mind it
I still don't mind at all
It's like one of those bad dreams
When you can't wake up
It looks like you've given up
You've had enough
But I want more
No I won't stop
Because I just know
You'll come around
Right?

No I don't believe you
When you say don't come around here no more
I won't remind you
You said we wouldn't be apart
No I don't believe you
When you say you don't need me anymore
So don't pretend to
Not love me at all

Just don't stand there and watch me fall
Because I, because I still don't mind at all

It's like the way we fight
The times I've cried
We come to blows
And every night
The passion's there
So it's got to be right,
Right?

No I don't believe you
When you say don't come around here no more
I won't remind you
You said we wouldn't be apart
No I don't believe you
When you say you don't need me anymore
So don't pretend to
Not love me at all

I don't believe you

7. MOST GIRLS



I never cared too much for love
It was all a bunch of mush that I just did not want
Paid was the issue of the day
If a girlfriend's got some game
Couldn't be more fly, gettin paid was everything
But I'm not every girl and I don't need that world to validate me
Cuz shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart

[Chorus:]
MOST GIRLS want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
MOST GIRLS want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love

I was a girl about the floss
It was all about the cost, how much he spent on me
Seek, for a man who's got the means
To be givin you diamond rings
It's what every fly girl could want or even dream
But I'm not every girl and I don't need no G to take care of me
Cuz shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart, no no

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

But I'm not every girl
And I don't need no G to take care of me, no
Cuz shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart, oh most girls

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

Cuz I'm not most girls, don't wanna dance if he can't be everything
I, I just want real love, said I gotta have real love
Everything that, can you be everything that I dream of

8. DON'T LET ME GET ME


Never win first place, I don't support the team
I can't take direction, and my socks are never
clean
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight cuz I can't do nothin'
right

Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can't take the person starin' back at me
I'm a hazard to myself

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

I wanna be somebody else, yeah

LA told me, "You'll be a pop star,
All you have to change is everything you are."
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
She's so pretty, that just ain't me

Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe
somethin
A day in the life of someone else
Cuz I'm a hazard to myself

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe
somethin
A day in the life of someone else
Don't let me get me

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

Let me let you know yeah

10. HEART BREAKER




I keep thinking 'bout that little sparkle in your eye
Is it a light from the angels or your devil deep inside

What about the way you say you love me all the time
Are you lifting me up to heaven just to drop me down a line

There's a ring around my finger but will you change your mind
And you tell me that I'm beautiful but that could be a lie

Are you a heartbreaker
Maybe you want me for the ride
What if I'm falling for a heartbreaker and everything is just a lie
I won't be leaving here alive
I won't be leaving here alive
No

Temporary happiness is like waiting for the knife
I'm always watching for someone to show their darker side

So maybe I'll sit back and just enjoy all this for now
Watch it all play out
See if you'll really stick around

There's always this one question that keeps me up at night
Are you my greatest love or dissapointment in my life

Are you a heartbreaker
Maybe you want me for the ride
What if I'm falling for a heartbreaker and everything is just a lie
I won't be leaving here alive
I might as well lay down and die

I'm holding on with both hands and both feet
Oh
Promise that you won't pull the rug out from under me

Are you a heartbreaker
Maybe you want me for the ride
I pray to God you're not a heartbreaker
This time around I won't survive

'Cause if I'm falling for a heartbreaker and everything is just a lie
I won't be leaving here alive
I might as well lay down and die
Oh
I won't be leaving here alive

11. WORDS

Take Y
Take the letter
Take it out on the alphabet
Dont ask me why
No more questions
Just accept it for the way it is

Words are just words
They get in my way
I can never say what I wanna say
Who will understand it anyway?
It's just a waste

Take M
Mmm mmm
It's so lovely, so delicious, it says it all

I don't like X
Ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends
Exactly what I don't need
Twisting my words so easily

Words are just words
They get in my way
See like right now, I wanna tell you that I love you
but I don't know how..

Put the H with the A with the TE,
give it power, you could destroy me
Put the L, with the O with the VE,
Give that power and you don't have to say anything

Words are just words
They get in my way
Bla bla bla bla
Blaaaa

Words are just words
They get in my way
Words are just words
They get in my way

MELANIE BROWN: GREATEST LOVE OF ALL [11]

Melanie Janine Brown (born 29 May 1975) is an English pop singer-songwriter, actress, author and television presenter. She is best known as one of the members of the girl group the Spice Girls.[3] She was given the nickname "Scary Spice" by the British media because of her outrageous, "in-your-face" attitude, thick Leeds accent, throaty laugh and manner of dress.Brown was born in Harehills, and grew up in Burley, Leeds, West Yorkshire. She has a younger sister named Danielle who is an actress. She studied performing arts at Intake High School, in Leeds, before entering the entertainment industry. For a time she worked as a dancer in the holiday resort, Blackpool, Lancashire. After seeing an advertisement for an audition in a newspaper, Brown started her music career in a band known as Touch. The group left the original management team and eventually teamed up with music manager Simon Fuller. In this pairing, she and the other girls became known as the Spice Girls. After the group achieved worldwide success, she embarked on a solo music career in 1998.Her first solo album, Hot, produced by Virgin Records, was a moderate success, including a number one hit. However, it did not sell or chart very well. In 2005, she released a second solo album which did not attract much attention.

In 1996 Brown, along with Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, and Victoria Beckham (at that time Victoria Adams), shot to fame as a member of the Spice Girls with the release of "Wannabe". The debut album, Spice, shot to number one all over the globe, including the U.S.. Mel B was called Scary Spice because of her animal print clothing, big hair, loud Leeds accent, throaty laugh, and aggressive attitude. The Spice Girls were popular in the late 1990s, selling over thirty-five million albums in just two years. They went on to become one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, selling more than fifty-five million records worldwide.

[Her mother Andrea (check her out in the "Mama" clip)
is white and her father is from the Carribean island of
Nevis. In her childhood, she danced and played the drums
(she still carries her drumsticks wherever she goes). She
got in a lot of trouble because of her "in your face"
attitude. She also thought people called her "Brown"
because of her skin, but of course it was because of her
last name.]

2. WORD UP

From Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me soundtrack

Alright, lets just go for it

Come on baby
Yeah

Owww...
Yeah

All pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your mama too
Cause we're about to go down
And you know just what to do

Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
Fly by the people as they stop to look and stare
Do your dance, do your dance
Do your dance quick

Come on baby, tell me whats the word

Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

Yeah (Can you feel me?)

Now all you sucker DJs who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason
And we know the reason why
You try to put on those airs and act real cool
But you got to realize that you're acting like fools
If there's music we can use it
We're free to dance
We don't have no time for psycological romance
No romance, no romance
No romance for me
Mama, come on baby tell me whats the word

Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

Word up

Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

Yeah
Word up
Yeah

Word up, everybody say

Word up, it's the code word

Word up

Do you like that?
(Do you like that?)

3. TELL ME

What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you
And you 're the fool
Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you
There's someone new
And they're true


I can't believe I was so blind I didn't see
That you couldn't be the type of man to meet my needs
Strangest thing is everyone tried to tell me
But I did what they told me not to
You nearly had my everything, by running game on me
You told me all I had to hear I thought love was finally here
But then one day the truth I'd see your game was incomplete
Cos when I realised the truth
I see your plan, you're not my man so get from under my roof - I don't want you


What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you - yes I do
And you 're the fool
Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you
There's someone new
And they're true


It was the saddest thing I thought there was no help for me
Cos you made me think I wasn't worth anything
Now I see you didn't have no self esteem
And all you loved was Mel B's money
You nearly had my everything by running game on me
You told me all I had to hear I thought love was finally here
But then one day the truth I'd see your game was incomplete
Cos when I realised the truth
I see your plan, you're not my man so get from under my roof


What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you - I can see through you
And you 're the fool - you're the fool, baby, you're the fool
Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you - and I turn my head around
There's someone new - and they're so true
What made you, made you, think I would be fooled - think I would be fooled
I now see through you, I can, and you're the fool, you are, you are
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you and there's someone new, and they're true


You nearly had my everything, by running game on me
You lied to me, why did you lie to me
But then one day the truth it seems your game was incomplete
I found out the truth
I see your plan, you're not my man so get from under my roof - I don't want you


What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you - I'm glad I saw through you
And you 're the fool
Tell me, Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you
There's someone new - and they're so true
What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you
And you 're the fool
Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you
There's someone new and they're true

This love I found won't ever hide
Let's go from the very start
When we met you and I were inseperable
All at once we swapped our hearts
Knowin that we had it right
People got involved with us
I should have pushed them all away
Now I know what went wrong
Why did is take me so long
Lovin' you, lovin' you is the easy part
Now I know, now I know what to do with it
Me and you, me and you keepin it tight
Cos two of a kind makes us so right
Oh yeah, feels so good
I'm lovin you, like I should
Remembering, how it feels
Letting go to have you near
Oh yeah, feels so good
I never thought, that it could
My feelings are deep inside
This love I found won't ever hide
Partnerships have ups and downs
Understand you and I are not alone
Feeling real normality
Come on, put your trust in me
Believe in me when I say
Everyone can keep away
Now I know what went wrong
Why did it take me so long
Lovin' you, lovin' you is the easy part
Never know, never know what to do with it
Me and you, me and you keepin it tight
Cos two of a kind makes us so right
Oh yeah, feels so good
I'm lovin you, like I should
Remembering, how it feels
Letting go to have you near
Oh yeah, feels so good

My feelings are deep inside
This love I found won't ever hide
I know how I want you
I know how I need you
Two of a kind will always be
Ever after happily
Feelin free, you and me
No one can touch us now
That is how it's got to be
With each passing day, we grow stronger still
Like the after taste of a bitter pill
Keep the hurt and pain far away from me
Warm me in your glow of sunny ecstacy
Ladies holla if you hear me (oh yeah)
Fellas holla if you feel me (oh yeah)
Everybody can you see me (oh yeah)
Cos two of a kind makes us so right

Remembering, how it feels
Letting go to have you near
Oh yeah, feels so good

My feelings are deep inside

5. LULLABY


Sometimes I think about
What life was like before
Was it full of old remedies
That kept me reaching for the door

But I know this love is unconditional (yeah)
Deep inside you're my living joy (yeah-hey hey)

A thousand times or more
Your as sweet as a butterfly
Baby all I need, and more
Gonna sing you my song
Cos I think the world about you
Your the only one that matters now
Since the day you were born

The first time I looked at you
On that friday afternoon
Your eyes were all a wondering
"Who am I and who are you?"

But I know our love is unconditional (our love, yes it is)
Deep inside you're my living joy (my living joy, yeah-hey hey)

I'm Gonna sing you a lullaby (all night)
A thousand times or more (all night long, yeah)

7. SWEET PLEASURE



I'm physically, dramatically, undeniably
Attracted to you, did you hear?
So profoundly, thoroughly visibly
Attracted to you, did you hear?

The way you hold your keys, your coffee cup
Even the tempo of your walk
The way your tattoos lay upon your skin
Even the tempo of your thought

Sweet pleasure
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, on, on, on, on
Sweet pleasure
Let me lose myself in your embrace
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it home

You satisfy, gratify
Turn all my, world downside up
You're so colorful, natural
Keep giving me a bellyful of your love

The way you feed, glide, breeze across me
In the softness of your stare
To clarify, you make my
Senses naked, my soul bare

Sweet pleasure
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, on, on, on, on
Sweet pleasure
How i feel for you i can't explain
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it home

Bring it on, bring it on, (bring it on) on, on, on, on
Bring it on, bring it on, (bring it on) on, on, on, on

I'm captured by your whisper
Into a mind field of love
Into danger
Into us

Sweet pleasure
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, on, on, on, on
Sweet pleasure
How i feel for you i can't explain
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on

Sweet pleasure
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, on, on, on, on
Sweet pleasure
Gotta feel, gotta feel your warm embrace
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it home

8. IN TOO DEEP


I'm rushing
From the moment I wake till the last drop-off light
And I'm rushing
Through people and traffic, it's my city ride

Then I see your face
And my head is lost
Just one look and my whole world stops

In too deep
I'll be yours to keep
Just let me in
I'll stay a while
Maybe you'll see me in time
Stranger of mine

I wonder
Would you turn to me if I asked you your name
And I wonder
Is your timing like mine and if your life's the same

I imagine sometimes
That I'm right here with you
When I see your face my whole world stops

In too deep
I'll be yours to keep
Just let me in
I'll stay a while
Maybe you'll see me in time
Stranger of mine

Stranger of mine

Am I invisible, too emotional
Should I walk away, hold my breath and stay
If this feeling's not real tell me why, am I

In too deep
I'll be yours to keep
Just let me in
I'll stay a while
Maybe you'll see me in time
Stranger of mine

Just let me in
I'll stay a while
Maybe you'll see me in time
Stranger of mine

In too deep (stranger of mine)
Yours to keep (stranger of mine)
In too deep (stranger of mine)
Yours to keep
In too deep
Yours to keep

10. GREATEST LOVE OF ALL


[Originally performed by Whitney Houston]
(Melanie B's song for which she sang to audition for the Spice Girls)

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I will live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
And I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I will live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

11. HOLD ON

As we travel through life the seasons change
But the truth remains the same always
So pause for a second take a breath and maybe then you'll understand
It's ok to feel helpless and ask the questions why
It's all part of the tapestry so don't give up your fight

Hold on hold on
To what you believe in
So come on, hold on hold on
You know you can do it
If you hold, hold on

No-one knows what tomorrow brings
So try and live life here and now in your way
Throughout all your struggle and pain
Remember those times are not in vain
It's ok to feel sadness
Things, they will all work out
Nobody said it was easy, no
Trust in who you are now

Hold on hold on
To what you believe in
So come on, hold on hold on
You know you can do it
The power's within you
Freedom to win, hold on

There is always so much more to life
Rise above and stand strong
There you'll find the light you're searching for
The place you belong

Hold on hold on
To what you believe in
Hold on hold on
You know you can do it
You know the power's within you
Freedom to win - if you hold, hold on
