They're closing all the schools down
Some teachers work for free now
And libraries won't be found
'Cause there's not enough

Can you see a change in your town
Small business close it's <i>[?]</i>
I'm trying to sort it out
What we're giving up

Basically there are people left out
From living comfortably can we figure it out
I've been waiting restlessly for the words to a song
That could change it all, change it all, change it all

I never found a 9 to 5
That was worth it from my soul 'til I
I pursued what brought joy in my life
And there's something for us all

And I still think it is my right
And it's the last and one of few
To get the luxury for learning
Something I could use

Ohh, basically there are people left out
From living comfortably can we figure it out
I've been waiting restlessly for the words to a song
That could change it all, change it all, change it all
(If the words could change it all)
(Change it all)

So many laws are changing
They say it's the price for war
We send over, he spend billions
It's hard to believe that years ago people died to fight

But history feels so far away
We're not fighting for our lives anymore
It's hard to know what's really worth fighting for
Or is it killing and dying on the streets

Ohh, basically there are people left out
From living comfortably can we figure it out
I've been waiting restlessly for the words to a song
That could change it all

Ohh, basically there's enough for us all
So why can't we somehow figure it out
I've been waiting restlessly for the words to a song
That could change it all, change it all, change it all
(If the words could change it all)
Change it all, change it all

If a song could change it all
What if we could change it all

As summer was ending, you were walking in
It seemed my life was falling
But in this season we were friends
Six days into spring is where our story begins
You didn't rush a thing
But you knew you would win

I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line

One of the first times I didn't feel alone
Is when I was in your arms, you always made me feel at home
We watched the sunrise 'cause the night had slipped away
And from then until now, we've been through some different phases
But you love the winter, love the challenge
Always managed to think that we would make it

I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line

So let me get used to things 'cause Gradual's my name
I don't dive into the cold, I get in slow but every day
I'm making peace with loving you, peace with being me
Any, any pieces of us, I claim them all today

I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line

Standing first in line
Standing, standing

I won't even think twice
There's no reason to be shy
Oh I, I can't lie

Don't mean to bother but I wish
That you would give it to me right
(Right)
I'm not the type to holla
But somehow you know just what I like
(What I like)

Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Just come on and love me right
(Love me right)

Sometimes it's long before I'm home
I spend the late nights on the phone
(Phone)
No castle waiting in the sky
We make believe that we're alone
(You and I)

Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Baby, you can love me right
(Love me right)

I get caught up when I'm stressed out
I need a place to unwind
Some pushing, pulling anyway
You had me dreaming all the time

Oh I, I've never found someone
Who'd fulfill my every need
It's someone gorgeous
It would be you, you

Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Baby, you can love me right
(Love me right)

Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Baby, you can love me right
(Love me right)

Awake in bed at 4am
Awake in bed
Cuz lately sleep ain't been my friend
you leave me with no happy end
you said it all keeps
and even though I might complain
you know I feel the same ole way about you, babe
I'll love you till the very end
I love you, I can't see my life without you

We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give in
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this

I see us pass the sleepless nights
I see us pass the silent fights and arguing
We'll make it through the distance phases
We'll make it through the stomach aches and crying, tears
Somehow we're back to fear again
Somehow we're back to questioning or leaving
There's never been a silent end
There's never been a nigh to spend without you

We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give in
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this

Silky soft words are forgotten
But you treat me ?
Come inside, I'll keep you warm
Though it hurts me, leaves me torn
Every time you lend a hand
Our love outlasts the storm again
Again
Again

We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give in
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this

I'm lookin at you from a distance,
I'm wondering how all my feelings changed
Do you remember even half the shit we used to do?
Who we used to be?

I wish it was different
All these feelings inside me
And I still believe

<i>[Clyde Carson:]</i>
I mean, what is you sayin? (Damn)

And it could be different
You know I miss the butterflies
The look in your eyes I couldn't change
And it could be different
And now it feels like it's over babe
And it could be different
If you could realize you need to set aside just a little time
And it could be different
I know we can make it better baby

I know I can't keep livin off memories
What if where this is turning, this isn't meant to be?
We used to get lifted
And now we crave it so insatiably
And lately I've been missing all the little things

<i>[Clyde Carson:]</i>
Well maybe I got comfortable with the way you would treat me
Hot meals cooked up, the way you would feed me
I'm selfish how could I let my fear defeat me?
Scared of something different now I see you complete me
Now hey, I don't like to argue a bit
Promise I'll change, if I ain't gotta hear ya lip
(but if you would listen)
I'm sorry I'm sayin- but you don't expect
You don't listen you no different
Save ya breath.

And it could be different
(I know you sayin I should change, throughout time I ain't the same in my ways)
And it could be different
(I see your feelings start to fade, it's all my fault huh, ya feelings ain't the same)
And it could be different
(Ma why is you mad? Acting like everything I do is bad)
And I could be different
(You got some issues too, but face it there ain't nothing we can't get through)

You're high I'm low and jealous distance seems to grab ahold
I miss you so and makin love still feels like comi' home
We fuss we fight I reunite but then you make it right
You'll see why I can't stand the sight of you not in my life

And it could be different
You know I miss the butterflies
The look in your eyes I couldn't change
And it could be different
And now it feels like its over baby
And it could be different
If you could realize you need to set aside just a little time
And it could be different
I know we can make it better baby

<i>[Clyde Carson:]</i>
Let's take it back to the picnics at Tilden, flicks with the children
Talks by the lake dem walks through your building
The feelin of fresh love, can't dismiss this
I know that you miss it, my permanent Misses
Permanent kisses, from flirtin and wishin
Before all the back and forth huffin and hissin
Hear me and listen I remember our mission
So I'm willin to change if you say that I'm different

And it could be different
(I know you sayin I should change, throughout time I ain't the same in my ways)
And it could be different
(I see your feelings start to fade, it's all my fault, huh? feelings ain't the same)
And it could be different
(Ma why is you mad huh? Acting like everything I do is bad)
And I could be different
(You got some issues too, but listen there ain't nothing we can't get through)

(That it could be different) You know I miss the butterflies
The look in your eyes, the way they shine
(It could be different) And now it feels like it's over, babe
(It could be different) If you could realize you need to set aside just a little time to
(It could be different) I know we can make it better, babe

You know I'm crushed out on you, you alone
If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone
Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me
But only time will show how far it can go

His voice, it comforts me, sweet and raspy tone of love
It trails me into dreams, I wanna wake up to it, full blast
His name alone gives me a rush, what a feeling
I can feel it in my bones, a spirit I'm craving in my soul
You could feel it all but you don't even know

That I'm crushed out on you, you alone
If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone
Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me
But only time will show how far this can go

I'm longing for the space and time to chill with you
Thinking of the ways that I could keep my cool
But this brown eyed girl and brown eyed boy
Time stood still and passed us by
'Cause baby I, I've been waiting for a little time

Oh, and you were so beautiful and <i>[Incomprehensible]</i>
You're my kind of guy, if I had a type of guy, I'd say it's you
So don't let them bring you down
'Cause right about now I like having you around
And if it's real that's where hearts resides

And I'm crushed out on you, you alone
If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone
Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me
But only time will show how far this can go

If you think of me half as much as I do you
Confide in me, let's play for keeps
And I can tell you all the things I longed to say
The future wants, we'll find a way and we can let it go

'Cause I'm crushed out on you, you alone
If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone
Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me
But only time will show how far this can go

I'm crushed out on you, you alone
If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone
Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me
But only time will show how far this can go

For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away

Every night before I sleep, I try to find you in my window
But you're so very far away and though everyone can see you
But I look at you different sometimes, I wish, you'd shine for me

Oh I, I can feel you, I can't touch you, it's not the same without you
My world won't spin without you, when I see you you know what I'll do
Just that I'd like to have you, I'd always have to share you

For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away

Sun won't set until you come, I wish, I could be the one
You pull in like a tide for the sea, you disappear I wonder, why?
And I can't wait till goes to night, it's not the same when you're not here

Oh I, I can feel you, I can't touch you, it's not the same without you
My world won't spin without you when I see you, you know what I'll do
Just that I'd like to have you, I'd always have to share you

For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away

For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
Baby, just fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away

For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away

And now the sun is setting
The stars are almost shining
All day I sit and wait for the moon

They'll make you think it's the only way
'Cause there's always a price to pay
But it's your road and your choice to make
Start new today

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
I know we'll find a way
I know we'll make a way
I know we'll find a way
Let's start new today

On November 2nd, election day
I will be thinking that things could change
I voted for the lesser of evil
How many relate?

And it didn't scream, didn't move away
Instead I stayed in and the hurt it bring
Someone, 2005 to the 1958
Well, I know

<i>[Chorus]</i>

I wonder how far things could escalate
Before the streets light up in rage
Civilry slipping away
What more will it take?

'Til it's your cousin that dies of AIDS
'Til your pregnant daughter can't find a place
'Til most of the youth end up locked away
A chance we can't take

<i>[Chorus x2]</i>

There was boy 'bout two years old
That's much too young too see what would unfold
His dad so bold, so full of lies
Caught up in things that would take his life

He'd leave behind all words unsaid
His loved ones learned to deal with it
When his boy got older with less than enough guidance
Needed more assurance, a little strength and courage

But if he knew what he knows now
He may be with us still
If he knew what he knows now, oh

There was girl 'bout three years old
To laugh and play should have been her goals
Her family moved from place to place
Free spirits and money they couldn't waste

She'd be alone more times than few
Too many men trusted and out of view
One took her in and used his mind
Scarred her inside and changed her life

So when she had daughters of her own
Her memories could no longer escape her
They affected all the choices that she would make

But if she knew what she knows now
She wouldn't take the blame
If she knew what she knows now

I was the girl who felt so strong
'Bout anything in this world when I saw wrong
I smiled a lot, sometimes cry alone
When it got too much I had a place to turn

I wish that I could heal your pain
Capture the truth, secrets filled with shame, oh

'Cuz if you want I'll tell the world
All the things you couldn't say
And hope that you can find your way

'Cuz I know what I know now
I was preparing for today
If we knew what we know now
We could have made a better day

If we knew what we know now
We'd know there was a different way
If we knew what we know now

But we all learn by example
We can become our worst fear
Certain lessons we should hold on
Some don't serve us anymore

Our parents raised us how they knew how
They didn't know a better way
I just try as hard you could
Don't wanna make the same mistake

Hope that you can find your way
Hope that you can find your way

I know sometimes I push you
Say all that I do
See if you'll still stay
I like to have my way

If I took you for granted
Just know, I never meant it
I'll try to be thoughtful
And make sure my heart's pure

Good love's hard to hold
That's why I'm squeezing tight

Sometimes I don't feel you, you don't feel me
We're distant, we need space
But I'm coming back for you
'Cause you're my true blue

You're a Capricorn, I'm Cancer
And sometimes we can't relate
But we meet at the center
That's where love is tender

You're my first phone call, my best friend
You could never be replaced
If I'm not there beside you
I'm just a hop, skip, a jump away

I question everything
It's 10 years and I still can't get it straight
Just know that I love you
Always thinking of you

Good love's hard to hold
That's why I'm squeezing tight
Good love's hard to hold
That's why I'm squeezing tight

I love that you're so truthful
So willing to work it through, you love so brave
My passion is your flame
I don't want you to change

You kiss me softly under covers
And you never make me beg
You even say thank you
And sorry when you're rude

I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way
I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way

Never, never, never, never
Never, never, never, never
Never been so sure before, no
Never, never, never, never
Never, never, never, never
Never been so pure

I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way
I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way
I love you today in the purest way

How can I go on, dawn is breaking
But it's yours for taking
I'm losing the battle of the heart
Every time it turns to spring
I think of you again and how I long to fly, fly free

I'm standing at the edge of something beautiful
But it hurts to try I'm scared it won't arrive
Love everlasting but the dawn is breaking
But it's yours for taking

I'm losing the battle of the heart, oh umm hum oh
I'm losing the battle of the heart, umm oh
I don't want to surrender
But that's when I can commend this thing

There always comes this sweet hello
And I feel way too far
On the edge of something beautiful
I never realized

Just how to separate the two
Fantasy from truth and running into you
Then all of the reasons keep flashing before me
But I can't do and I thought I was through
The feeling was done, the battle was over, it's not over

I'm losing the battle of the heart, oh
Is it crazy I thought I could win, oh
I'm losing the battle of the heart, oh oh

When you see me standing in here
'Cause I didn't walk alone
There are pieces of you landing in here
Somehow to make me whole

'Cause you
You're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadows
Leaving me to shine, shine, shine

You're the one who carried me through
Held me in the sky
Leaving me to shine, shine

Any time you pushed me
When it felt like too much
I know it made me grow
And looking from the distance
At a person who, who I wouldn't know

But you
You're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadows
Leaving me to shine, shine, shine

You're the one who carried me through
Held me in the sky
Leaving me to shine

From the stretches of the world
And more perspective than I wished for
You told me that there is more
Than what a pleasant change

You never question worth
You made a path wherever I go
Giving far more than I asked for
Oh you

You're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadows
Leaving me to shine

You're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadows
Leaving me to shine

You're the one who carried me through
Held me in the sky
Leaving me to shine, shine, shine

Closer to my dreams
its coming over me

I'm getting higher
closer to my dreams
feel it in my sleep.

Sometimes it feels like
I'll never go pass here
Sometimes it feel like
Im stock forever, ever

But I'm going higher
Closer to my dreams
Going higher and higher
I can almost reach

Sometimes you just have to let it go
leaving all my fears to burn and die
Push the all away so I can move on
Closer to my dreams
Feel it all over my being
In my being .....
Close your eyes and seek what you believe

I'm moving higher
Im going higher and higher
Closer to my dreams
Higher and higher

I'm moving upward and onward
and beyond all that I could see
Stretching out my arms so I can reach
I'm so close
It's like I can just reach
I can feel my dreams
Closer to my dreams
I'm moving closer to my dreams

Sometimes it feel like
you'll never grown change
But you never choose to walk away -
&nbsp;

Closer to my dreams

&nbsp;

You...
Me...
Maybe...

Well, I was wondering
If you'd fly away with me
We'd go to a promised land
Some place, sometime to breath

You know I got faith in you
Put a little trust in me
We've got what each other needs
So, baby, just believe...

[Pep Love]
I do
You and I, I
You and me, we
Could come together and set this world free, please
Believe in this dream we gon' weave
'Cause we believe in this thievin'
This heavin', this eve of destruction behind us
Let this love intertwine us and find us
Out of this bind plus
Peace, your highness
Ease your mind
It's time to just chill, and just build, and just unwind

[Chorus x 2]
Ease you mind, come chill with me
No more work, just for a week
It's goin' good
Now, we can see
We were meant to be

When I first looked at you
I knew there was something real
You're different from other men
Wanna give
To you what you've given me
There's no need to question these
Intentions that I have

It's the little, subtle things
Excuses to make you smile
Come over just for a while
Don' wanna hold back anymore

[Chorus]

[Pep Love]
Infinity and beyond
The potential for this stretch is long
We on a higher echelon
And extra strong
When we're together, there's no pressure, just a song, and
You inspire me
I empower you
We on some real shit
'Cause this is how we do
To let love live
We creatin' a great theme
And makin' a great team is Goapele sing

[Goapele]
Some people go
On looking for
Is a life time
Just to find what we have now, so
Let the wind blow
Let the sun shine
Let the birds fly
Turn it up, let's ride
Come on, let's catch a show
Escape a moment
In these tryin' times you got me on a natural high

[Chorus x 3]

Ooh

You caught me
Lookin' at you
Forgive me
But if it's treasures
You're seeking
I'm the one who
Could reach them
It's not the kind of thing
You wanna rush or hesitate
It could go
Far
If you step to me
Just come at me
With honesty and you might be mine
Oh

Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby

Oh
So soft and
Effortlessly
I'm fallin'
So suddenly
You touch me
If it should be
I just might let in
Just think we could be anywhere
If I could choose
It'd be right here
And I don't let go easily
But something's taken over me

Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby

You're saying that our chemistry
Is poetry in motion
And whispering
So preciously
I second that emotion

Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby

Good

<verse 1>
seeking a summertime love
just thinking i'm alone
you know with a vibe and flow
what we didn't know
the night and day would show
or if it wasn't meant to grow
how we'd feel within
what we _________(?)
and why'd you keep a distance
we are emotions ____(?)
i was afraid of what i was feelin'
afraid that you would take my heart and go steal it
my pride my soul
now i know
now i know
<chorus>
'cause we were too much the same
i didn't know
who to blame
'cause i didn't want to change
we were too much the same
i didn't know
who to blame
'cause you weren't gonna change
<verse 2>
even though your ways
came down like rain
things in myself i couldn't change
but if we coulda chilled
then waited a while
but then may now (?)
and shooting stars won't send us running
from each other
from ourselves
and when you got me open
you faked in me
why'd you tell me that you love me
and then stray away
what you did that day
i promised i would never go waiting
for someone who would never cnahge
<chorus>
<verse 3>
but you can't get something for nothing
so what was mine
sifted through
like it lost time
and unclaimed sand in a desert wind
with half my heart it took you in
so i can let you go
<chorus>

Nobody knows what I go through
Indecisions made me passive
They say I want my cake and I want to eat it too
Less satisfied if I don't, consequences when I do
These lessons, they lead me on my way
but when company is tempting me, I'm turned around
but I might want to go that way,
don't want to go that way

Well, it's a catch 22
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
Yes, it's a catch 22
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do

How many times does it take to learn just one thing,
'cause I keep ending up here
And I'm not a scientist so I just keep on praying that I won't
keep getting the same results each day
I said that I can't be with you
But when you turn away I pull back your hands to stay
(your hands to stay)
So many days turn to years
that brought us here
and we (shied) through time without too many tears
But we still made decisions creating divisions
So many contradictions,
why didn't we listen?

Well, it's a catch 22(catch 22)
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
Yes, it's a catch 22
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
( I'm damned if I don't, I'm damned if I do)

'Cause when I see you looking at her
I can't stand it, my eyes can't conceive
You gave her the smile you gave to me
I love you selfishly
I can feel so strongly
Oh, how you (throw) me
but still you know me
Oh, you know me

Yes, it's a catch 22,
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
(damned if I do)
Yes, it's a catch 22, (catch 22)
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
(I'm damned if I don't, I'm damned if I do)

To hell with all the promises we made,
the boundaries, the pain
I don't care who's wrong or right
Let's just ignore that tonight, I don't want to fight
Where you lead me I'll follow
I won't stress on tomorrow
'cause I miss you like the moon misses the sky,
the waves miss the sand,
the leaves miss the breeze flowin' by
So come to me easy,
'cause I know you can please me

But it's a catch 22....(repeat chorus til end)

These are the Daze my friend
We're so far from the end
But we can't wait forever and a day
Forever and a Day

One for your City
Two if you're prissy
Three for the raw real homie
Rollin' wit' me
Four's like the voice in my head
Getting dizzy
Five get it so live
The cops come & get me
Six for the politrix
Seven call the Reverend
Eight DNA certain way
You a felon
Nine feeling fine
Even when the sun shady
Ten that's a dime
Goapele do it crazy

If you miss me when I'm gone
Just know riding on a sky plain
You never know
I could be wrong
Sometimes I'm weak
When I feel strong

Push on
Be strong
Don't wait
Lean on
Sometimes
Pray on
Hold on
Because
These are the Daze
You gotta go for broke
I'm taking all my chances
And if you're scared of transit...
Run for cover
Light is fading
It's getting dark
The sun is fading

Oh they told me

Live today
Like your gonna live forever
Tomorrow paves the way
For the rest of your life
Even if we lose some along the way
It's not worth the hate
No time to hate

Black prophet
Still grandma collar poppin
Do anything for a twenty dollar profit
They push into yo kitchen til yo momma holla stop it
If it ain't first class
Then I'mma try the cockpit
Had some ups & downs
Been dumped around
It's nothing
'Cuz we ain't sufferin' now
For life we lusted
In God we trust
But now don't discuss it
We going for bust

Hold tight
It's not
Too late
Take it
Right now
It's in
Your hands
Because
These are the days we gotta go for broke
I'm taking all my chances
And if you're scared of transit...
Run for cover
Light is fading
Its getting dark
The sun is fading

In my fear,
I fear
We're seas apart in old worlds.
We began,
In vibrant colors,
But one of the things you said
And I dread it.
That everything turns grey,
This is where I stray

I, I want so badly,
To say that these things don't exist anymore.
When that indigo
Creeps upon me I can't deny
That I'm blue,
And not like you

When I look into your eyes at times
It's within them I find
A love I never knew,
Still I'm bound to you.
Something inside so strong,
Won't settle in me somehow, I'm not free.

I want so badly, to say that these things don't exist anymore.
When that indigo creeps upon me I can't deny
That I'm blue.

It's past mistakes not hearts that break,
In moral laws respect they take and
Now
It still effects me to.
If my one enemy is me,
Then tell me how to stay true and not be blamed by you.

I, I want so badly to say that these things
Anymore.
When that indigo
I can't deny that I'm blue.
I, I want so badly to say that these things don't exist anymore.
When that indigo creeps upon me I can't deny
That I'm blue,
And not like you.

Got me a date with a supermodel
I know, I knowI think it's funky
Dinner at the hotel, champagne bottle
Steak and potatoes are better in a bucket
Tell me what is there for pretendin'
Not to know, and who needs proof
I don't need so much to remember
No, no. That's how it is when you tell The truth (ow!)
How many times can somebody lie Till patience runs off course
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye, 'Cause you can't get this stuff no more
That's the thing about self improvement
Don't get me wrong, I plan on gettin' some soon
Outside the wire, somethin's movin'
One point down, now I can see the moon
I'm slicing the time, like a pizza pie
Ya serve up the truth, don't want it anymore
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye
'Cause you can't get this stuff no more

(Whoo!) How many times can somebody lie
Till patience runs off course
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye
Cause you can't get this stuff no more
So many times
You can't get this stuff no more
You better keep that in mind
When we say our goodbyes
Cause you can't get this stuff no more

Ahh-hot Not this stuff, baby

I'm searchin for my salvation
Oh yeah
I'm tired of dragging
On and on
On and on
Day by day
Days with days ?
I can feel the pain
The world is resting on my brain
I can feel the hurt of a broken child
She's going insane
I pray that she'll make it home
Home 3X
Times have changed
But we can rearrange the ills?
Society has swept on my feet
Some words I can't even speak
Still pressin
Movin forward
Blindly
Without a trace
Lookin for a reason to go on
On 3X
I pray to an unknown God
Please reveal yourself to me
Cuz hope is sifting from my hands
Like lost time
I can't make believe
I won't make believe
I can't make believe
When I look into your eyes
Do you know me
I'm searchin for my soul
Searchin on
On
Praying on
On
Looking on
On
I am searching
I am praying
I am looking
Searching on
On
Praying on
On
Looking on
On
On
On
For my salvation.

I'm sitting in my room
Thinking back on you,
Memories pass;
My head was leaned against your face
partly on your shoulder, curving your neck.
I tried to clear my thoughts of stress
And let go of the day,
How it began,
whispered your name-
<chorus>
Soft white lights between us falling
forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
beautiful and floating down on us
sparkles flying towards us dancing all around us
vanish in air
But you left before you knew
A future holding you.
All you saw of me-
My heart should speak for me,
Then you'd understand
that push away-
It craves compassion and
strong arms to hold her.
You and me
Revolving
angel wings
fluttering
Orange gold
Sunsets bold
Star filled nights
Sweet as Fantasia
And still
A glow surrounding you
The dandelions blew
Our wishes to the wind
Come and bring him back again
<chorus>
Soft white lights between us falling
forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
beautiful and floating down on us
sparkles flying towards us dancing all around us
vanish in air
And I wonder how you felt
-I was melting inside
Opened my eyes
-Felt so bright I was blind
The car we hadn't left
I closed the door
behind
-And I wished you would take me away.
You left before I waved.
By then it was too late.
I wished on the moon
I'd always remember-
You and me
Revolving
angel wings
fluttering
Orange gold
Sunsets bold
Star filled nights
Sweet as Fantasia
<chorus>
Soft white lights between us falling
forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
beautiful and floating down on us
sparkles flying towards us dancing all around us
vanish in air

You came to me in a dream
all the qualities I asked for
in a man
just understand me
love me as you know me
I'll let yo know me well
I don't anticipate putting up a gate
or shelter around my heart.
I intend to find the good in side
promise the real you
so pure
so I can give you
<chorus>
Butterflykisses
and pleasure you can feel
I'll daze you, even bathe you
If you remain to keep it real
If you love me, love my mother;
Know you my father
hang with my brother.
Don't discriminate
or isolate me,
please let me be myself
I want to wear what I want to wear
and say what's on my mind.
Please be kind
so I can give you
<chorus>
Butterflykisses
and pleasure you can feel
I'll daze you, even bathe you
If you remain to keep it real
Now that you're here
My visions clear.
i'm drenched in love.
Fly like a dove,
and walking through my life with you
is a blessin oh so sweet-
<chorus>
Butterflykisses
and pleasure you can feel
I'll daze you, even bathe you
If you remain to keep it real

He was fourteen years old
All his life he never left
The west side (oh)
I walked past him everyday
Heading downtown
Always on the go
He was the kind of guy you never gave your real name to
So young but still trying to game you
But what he was going through
I never knew

It's such a same
How people change
And I never really knew his name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes

All his life
He heard "You won't amount to nothing"
Low expectations
In need of money
Few too many choices
And no patience
So what do you know
For a good cash flow
You can always sell
It's easy to fit the role
But when your living the fast life
He considered all times a go

It's such a same
How people change
And I never really knew his name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes

Is that how he came around
For his child he'll know now
'Cause he left him with bruises
His words just abusive
The love he didn't show
And what his boy was going through
He had never imagined
But when love turns to hate
It's the worse out of passion
His son was bold
And by then it was too late
From his friend they get console
Then his hands, his shoes
The life or death they couldn't hold
Oh, two seconds cold
He was fourteen years old
Locked up until he's old

It's such a same
How moments change
And I never really knew his name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes

Got me a date with a supermodel
I know, I knowI think it's funky
Dinner at the hotel, champagne bottle
Steak and potatoes are better in a bucket

(Whoo!) How many times can somebody lie
Till patience runs off course
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye
Cause you can't get this stuff no more
So many times
You can't get this stuff no more
You better keep that in mind
When we say our goodbyes
Cause you can't get this stuff no more

Ahh-hot Not this stuff, baby

As summer was ending, you were walking in
It seemed my life was falling
But in this season we were friends
Six days into spring is where our story begins
You didn't rush a thing
But you knew you would win

I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line

One of the first times I didn't feel alone
Is when I was in your arms, you always made me feel at home
We watched the sunrise 'cause the night had slipped away
And from then until now, we've been through some different phases
But you love the winter, love the challenge
Always managed to think that we would make it

I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line

So let me get used to things 'cause Gradual's my name
I don't dive into the cold, I get in slow but every day
I'm making peace with loving you, peace with being me
Any, any pieces of us, I claim them all today

I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line

Standing first in line
Standing, standing

As summer was ending, you were walking in

Closer to my dreams its coming over me I'm getting higher closer to my dreams feel it in my sleep. Sometimes it feels like I'll never go pass here Sometimes it feel like Im stock forever, ever But I'm going higher Closer to my dreams Going higher and higher I can almost reach Sometimes you just have to let it go leaving all my fears to burn and die Push the all away so I can move on Closer to my dreams Feel it all over my being In my being ..... Close your eyes and seek what you believe I'm moving higher Im going higher and higher Closer to my dreams Higher and higher I'm moving upward and onward and beyond all that I could see Stretching out my arms so I can reach I'm so close It's like I can just reach I can feel my dreams Closer to my dreams I'm moving closer to my dreams Sometimes it feel like you'll never grown change But you never choose to walk away -&nbsp;
