You live your lives just chasing dreams Does it mean anything? Cause that won't bring you happiness-what are you here to be? What are you here to be? Does it mean anything? What are you here to be? And the World is spinning around And We can't keep ourselves down Holding our ground, can't hear a sound And it's hard to be right now I trust in a power my eyes can't see I know it's true I have to believe we're here to love I do do So whatcha gonna do? You know it's up to you Whatcha you gonna choose? And the World is spinning around and we can't keep ourselves down We're holding our ground, can't hear a sound And it's hard to be right now And the World is spinning so fast We don't know if this will last We're holding our ground, Don't give up now Though it's hard to be somehow I won't lie, I've always tried to fit to something they could see but they were never seeing me And the World...

When you fall you're not alone, where you go someone will follow In these times that make you stronger, there is a message when it's all over So time will be your friend, it will help you start again I've been on the edge, but I don't let go I was lost for so long, but time will always show You're not alone, time will always show Too proud too bend, too poor to break You've weathered all the storms that they can make And you laugh so hard to keep from crying There's something in you that can't give up trying So time will be your friend, It will help you start again I've been on the edge, but I don't let go I was lost for so long, but time will always show you're not alone Time will always show oh yeah yeah, time will always show You hang within an inch of your life, You are fighting just to survive Hope is close but yet so far away..hey,hey,hey I've been on the edge, but I don't let go I was lost for so long, but time will always show They think they've won, I know you and they don't know you're not alone Ooh that time will always show

May the storms break for you May the trees shake their blossoms down May the friends you've always helped, be there when you're down Oooh I feel so lucky, to have known you this time around We're as close as air Love's around us everywhere So feel free to fly away I'll be seeing you someday No one gets a perfect life, no no one glides on through We all have our debts to pay, we all win and lose All the good you've always done for me will surely come back, come back to you We're as close as air Love's around us everywhere So feel free to fly away I'll be seeing you someday

Home for your funeral, what a rainy day Church was so big-back when I used to pray Heard the choir singing to you-clear as a bell And the man I knew, I did not know well And I couldn't wait to leave this crazy place I try to remember something good in your face Oh I've been waiting so for this day... Moving, moving, moving on my way I'm not waiting for what they might say If you loved me then you loved me and if not okay I'm moving on, I'm moving on So many secrets locked up inside that head What you never showed and all that you never said Left your dreams behind, the things you could not do All those tangled webs you could not unwind And I couldn't wait to leave this crazy place, etc. Moving, moving, moving on my way I'm not waiting for what they might say If you loved me then you loved me and if not okay I'm moving on, I'm moving on to better days I'm not crying, No I'm never, never going back I won't go, broken like that-You could've saved me-all of those years- you could've tried I'm glad to say goodbye-goodbye But I'm moving, moving, moving on my way,ect, Nah Nah Nahnah,ect, I'm moving, moving on, moving on my way-to better days-yeah

I think I am going crazy, this big city really has me down I'm stressed just scraping by, my stars just won't align And I think all my luck is running dry And in you I saw, a thousand things I could never say You freed me from the spell in my soul, underneath to meet my fate Tonight my life has changed now and forever And it is you that broke the darkness, you are the light that makes it all better Baby I can't say enough cause you fill my life with all your love What life has put me through, prepared me just for you And I've got to thank someone up above Tonight my life has changed now and forever And it is you that broke the darkness, You are the light that makes it all better And your body which I love so close to mine Hold me for all time, hold meÉ. Tonight my life has changed, now and forever And it is you, that broke the darkness, you are the light that makes it all better And I love you, how I love you...

There's a wild and lonely child at the airport And she's standing there with tears in her eyes It's freezing cold but she's dressed for summer and she's hoping for a better life She's hoping that maybe they'll want her, and love her for the rest of her days They're like stars, crystal painted silver stars, can't cover what you really are tonight And he's never had a birthday or Christmas, and he's never read a book though he's five, and he's trying to fix his own frozen dinners, and he's trying to keep his sister alive Just another child that's been thrown away, another child this world has lost They're like stars, crystal painted silver stars, can't cover what you really are tonight Pull them from the sky, take away their shine, put out all their light, that don't make it right and leave them far behind And I know the truth, this is you, this is you They're like stars, crystal painted silver stars, can't cover what you really are tonight Stay up in the sky, full of all your shine They can't take your light, that just isn't right And I won't leave you behind

You're like a birthday that's come early this year Heaven made my wish come true Oh sweet sugar down to the last drop Every day is like a birthday with you It was a long hard year, really weighed my shoulders down Sky was hard to find, rain kept coming down I was smiling to look happy but lost in neverland, and in my darkest hour There you stand You're like a birthday that's come early this year, like Confetti falling straight from the sky Blow out the candles and I make my wish, don't let another year without you go by Sun is out and shining things are looking up Vanilla skies like icing the rain stopped coming down I'm smiling cause I'm happy I love just where I am You bought light to my life there you stand You're like a birthday that's come early this year Heaven made my wish come true Oh sweet sugar down to the last drop Every day is like a birthday with you I've gotten lots of things that don't mean anything Unless they're given straight from the heart yeah yeah yeah You're like a birthday that's come early this year, like Confetti falling straight from the sky Blow out the candles and I make my wish, don't let another year without you go by Oh you're like a birthday yeah yeah yeah heaven made my wish come true You're like a birthday oh woah woah woah every day is like a birthday with YOU!
Falling

You're like an angel born with just one wing You cannot leave the ground until you try One desperate moment changes everything You can't run-you've got to fly! So don't try to hold on to all that you have Don't stop to look down Here we are once again take a breath you know you can close your eyes And just let go No matter what you do, no matter what you say, never gonna turn and walk away So don't be afraid to fall Just like a pearl in the hand of fate, trying to find just where you belong The world's your shell that you can't escape and in the end you're still alone So don't try to hold on to all that you have Don't stop to look down Here we are once again take a breath you know you can close your eyes And just let go No matter what you do, no matter what you say, never gonna turn and walk away So don't be afraid to fall Cause nothing stays with you in endless space Stars are blazing everywhere Above your head I see a brand new day but you don't see and that's why You're so so scared Here we are once again close your eyes and just pretend, hold my hand or just Let go, oh, no matter, no matter, where you are, don't be afraid Don't be afraid to fall, cause I will be there through it all, don't be afraid to fall
No More

I've been covered in your excuses, drenched in all your lies I've been drowned in promises that never seem to turn out right Don't waste time talking to me, you have nothing left to say Don't waste time faking, you always give yourself away No more, no more, crazy doesn't work no more The wheels still turn but the gears are broken Crazy doesn't work with me no more You took my strength my away, Maybe you did for just a day If I let you take my happiness, then I would be remiss To give you such a precious part of me It took some tears but now I see You always thought that I would take you back It's a different woman that you're looking at No, no more, crazy doesn't work no more The wheels still turn but the gears are broken Crazy doesn't work with me no more I have the key to my own cage and I could leave it all the same, Or I could make it different it's up to me No, no more...
Memories

One if by land, two by sea Smoky, cozy down on Barrow street I saved all my money honey, to take you to dinner with me Pools of light glisten on the asphalt Nothing like the village baby, nothing like those walks I hear a song, and sing along, and think of you We were all gonna make our way, had the world right in our hands You were mine for a time, And I knew you for awhile Stay in my corner honey, just a little longer with me I worked til 4am, fell asleep on the subway, tired of moving my things from place to place I'd sit on the roof, smoke a cigarette or two, and dream away We were all gonna make our way-had the world right in our hands And you were mine for a time, And I knew you for awhile Sometimes the memories are much better than reality Old memories are passing by Like music drifting through the trees and finding you I've been moved by all these things I've seen All the songs I've sung, I would never change a thing You were mine for a time and I knew you for awhile Those were the days, oh we thought they'd never end Sometimes happy, sometimes sad You're forever in these memories, forever in these Memories I have, oh...

You live your life as in a dream, sad as beginning of spring But letting the days just pass you by, does that mean anything? I trust in the things my eyes can't see, cause what if they're true? I want to understand it all, both evil and good And the world is spinning around and I can't keep myself down I'm holding my ground, can't hear a sound and it's hard to be somehow And the world is spinning so fast, there's no way to make it last I'm holding my ground, can't hear a sound and it's hard to be somehow I don't know why, why I even tried, to fit to something you could see There was nothing wrong with me
