I stand alone
in the darkness
The winter of my life
came- so fast
Memories go back
to childhood
To days I still recall
oh how happy I was--
Then there was
no sorrow
There was no pain
walking through
The- green-- fields
sunshine in my eyes
I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever-

I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever
Would you wait
for me forever
Will you wait
for me forever-

Such a feelings
coming over me
there is
wonder in most
everything I see
not a cloud in the sky
got the sun in my eyes
and I
won't be surprised
if it's a dream
everything
I want the world to be
is now coming
true especially
for me
and the reason
is clear
it's because
you are here
you're the nearest
thing to
heaven that I've seem
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that I've found ever
since you've
been around
your loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

Something in the wind
has learned my name
and it's telling me
that things are not
the same in the leaves
on the trees
and the touch of
the breeze
there's a pleasing
sence of happiness
for me
There is only
one wish on my mind
when this day is
through I hope
that I will find
that tomorrow
will be just the
same for you and me
all I need will be
mine if you are here
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that l've found ever
since you're been
around your loves
put me at the
top of the world
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that I've found ever
since you've been
around your loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

How many special
people change?
How many lives are
living strange?
Where were you while
we were getting high?
Slowly walking down
the hall
Faster than
a cannonball
Where were you while
we were getting high?
Someday you will
find me
Caught beneath
the landslide
In a champagne
supernova in the sky
Someday you will
find me
Caught beneath
the landslide
In a champagne
supernova
A champagne supernova
in the sky
Wake up the dawn
and ask her why
A dreamer dreams
she never dies
Wipe that tear away
now from your eye
Slowly walking down
the hall
Faster than
a cannonball
Where were you while
we were getting high?
Someday you will
find me
Caught beneath
the landslide
In a champagne
supernova in the sky
Someday you will
find me
Caught beneath
the landslide
In a champagne
supernova
A champagne
supernova
'Cause people believe
that they're
Gonna get away
for the summer
But you and I
we live and die
The world's still
spinning round
We don't know why
why why why why

How many special

We were

I see the
crystal raindrops fall
And the
beauty of it all
Is when the sun
comes shining through
To make those
rainbows in my mind
When I think
of you some time
And I want to spend
some time with you
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I
We look for love
no time for tears
Wasted waters's
all that is
And it don't make no
flowers grow
Good things might
come to those
Who wait not to those
who wait to late
We got to go
for all we know
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I

I hear the crystal
raindrops fall
On the window
down the hall
And it becomes
the morning dew
Darling, when the
morning comes
And I see
the morning sun
I want to be
the one with you
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
(we can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us
we can make it)
(Just the two of us
just the two of us)
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us
we can make it)
(Just the two of us
just the two of us)
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the
two of us)

We speak of the devil
he's no friend of mine
To turn from him is
what we've got in mind
Just a liar
and a thief
The word
tell us so
We like to let him
know where he can go
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
When things
are going wrong
You know who to blame
he will always
Live up
to his name
He's never been
the answer
There's a better way
we are here
To rock you
and to say
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil-

To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell with the devil
devil devil-

Fly me to the moon
and let me play
Among the stars
let me see what
Spring is like
on Jupiter and Mars
In other words
hold my hand
In other words
darling kiss me
Fill my heart
with song
And let me sing
forever more
You are all
I long for
All I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-

Fly me to the moon
and let me play
Among the stars
let me see what
Spring is like
on Jupiter and Mars
In other words
hold my hand
In other words
darling kiss me
Fill my heart
with song
And let me sing
forever more
You are all
I long for
All I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-

Only you
only you
Fill my heart
with song
And let me sing
forever more
You are all
I long for
All I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you
In other words
I love you-

I don't know you
but I want you
All the more
for that
Words fall through me
always fool me
And I
can't react
And games that
never amount to
More than they're
meant will play
Themselves
out
Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still
got time
Raise your
hopeful
Voice you
have a choice
You've
make it now
Falling slowly
eyes that know me
And I can't
go back
And moods
that take me
And erase me
and I'm painted black
You have
suffered enough
And warred
with yourself
It's time
that you won
Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still
got time
Raise your hopeful
voice you
Had a choice
you've made it now
Falling slowly
sing your melody
I'll sing along
oh oh

It's late
in the evening
she's wondering
what clothes to wear
She puts on
her makeup
and brushes her
long blonde hair
And then she asks me
"Do I look all right?"
And I say
"Yes you look
wonderful tonight."
We go to a party
and everyone
turns to see
this beautiful lady
is walking
around with me
And then she asks me
"Do you feel
all right?"
And I say "Yes I feel
wonderful tonight"
I feel wonderful
because I see the love
light in your eyes
Then the wonder
of it all
is that you just
don't realize
how much I love you.

it's time to go
home now
and I've got an
aching head
So I give her
the car keys
and she helps me to bed
And then I tell her
as I turn out the light
I say
"My darling you are
wonderful tonight"
Oh my darling you are
wonderful tonight-

I am sailing
I am sailing
home again
'cross the sea
I am sailing
stormy waters
To be near you
to be free
I am flying
I am flying
like a bird
'cross the sky
I am flying
passing high clouds
To be with you
to be free
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Through the dark night
far away
I am dying
forever trying
To be with you
Who can say
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Through the dark night
far away
I am dying
Forever trying
To be with you
who can say-

We are sailing
We are sailing
Home again
'cross the sea
We are sailing
Stormy waters
To be near you
to be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
To be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
To be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
to be free
Oh Lord-

Look
if you had
One shot
one opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted
One moment
would you capture it
Or just let it slip yo
his palms are sweaty
Knees weak arms
are heavy
There's vomit
on his sweater
Alredy mom's spaghetti
he's nervous
But on the surface
he looks calm
And ready
to drop bombs
But he keeps on
forgettin
What he wrote down
the whole crowd
Goes so loud yo
he open his mouth
But the words
won't come out
He's chokin how
everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out
time's up over bloah
Snap back to reality
oh there goes gravity
Oh there goes rabbit
he choked
He's so mad
but he won't
Give up that is he
no he won't have it
He knows his whole
back city's ropes
I don't matter
he's dope
He knows that
but he's broke
He's so stacked
that he knows
When he goes back
to his mobile home
That's when it's back
to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
he better go capture
This moment and
hope it don't pass him
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own
it you better
Never let it go ho
you only get one shot
Do not miss
your chance to blow
This opportunity
comes once
In a lifetime
you better
The soul's escaping
through this hole
That it's gaping
this world is mine
For the taking
make me king
As we move toward
a new world order
A normal life is borin
but superstardom's
Close to post mortar
it only grows harder
Only grows hotter
he blows us all over
These hoes is
all on him
Coast to coast shows
he's know
As the globetrotter
lonely roads
God only knows
he's know father
From home
he's no father
He goes home
and barely knows
His own daughter
but hold your nose
Cuz here
goes the cold water
His hoes don't want
him no mo
He's cold product
they moved on
To the next schmoe
who flows
He nose dove and
sold nada
So the soap opera is
told and unfolds
I suppose
it's old potna
But the beat goes on
da da dum de dom
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity comes
Once in a lifetime
you better
No more games
I'm a change
What you call rage
tear this mothafuckin
Roof off like
2 doas cased
I was playing
in the beginning
The mood all changed
I been chewed up
And spit out
and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin
and stepwritin
The next cypher
best believe
Somebody's payin
the pied piper
All the pain inside
amplified by the fact
That I can't get by
with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide
the right type of
Life for my family
cuz man
These goddam
food stamps
Don't buy diapers
and it's no movie
There's
no Mekhi phifer
This is my life
and these times
Are so hard
and it's getting
Even harder
trying to feed
And water my seed
plus see dishonor
Caught up between
bein a father
And a prima donna
baby mama drama's
Screamin on and
too much for me
To wanna stay
in one spot
Another jam or not
has gotten me
To the point
I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate
a plot fore
I end up in jail
or shot success is
My only mothafuckin
option failure's not
Mam I love you
but this trail has
Got to go
I cannot grow old
In salem's lot so
here I go is my shot
Feet fail me not
cuz maybe
The only opportunity
that I got
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Come once
in a lifetime
You better

You set your mind
to man-

Over sideways

On a magic carpet

A whole
new world
A new fantastic
point of view
No one to tell us no
or where to go
Or say
we're only dreaming
A whole
new world
A dazzling place
I never knew
But
when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
that now
I'm in a whole
new world with you
(Now I'm in a whole
new world with you)
Unbelievable sights
indescribable feeling
Soaring tumbling
freewheeling
Through an endless
diamond sky
A whole
new world
A hundred thousand
things to see
I'm like
a shooting star
I've come
so far
I can't go back

A whole
new world
With new horizons
to pursue
I'll chase
them anywhere
There's time to spare

This whole new world
with you
A whole new world
(a whole new world)
That's
where we'll be
(That's
where we'll be)
A thrilling chase
(a wondrous place)
For
you and me

I wanna follow
where she goes
I think about her
and she knows it
I wanna let her
take control
'Cause every time that
she gets close yeah
She pulls me
in enough
To keep me guessing
mmm
And maybe
I should stop
And start confessing
confessing yeah
Oh I've been shaking
I love it
When you go
crazy
You take all
my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
You take me
places
That tear up
my reputation
Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
She says that
she's never afraid
Just picture
everybody naked
She really
doesn't like to wait
Not really
into hesitation
Pulls me
in enough
To keep me guessing
whoa
And maybe
I should stop
And start confessing
confessing yeah
Oh I've been shaking
I love it
When you go
crazy
You take all
my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
You take me
places
That tear up
my reputation
Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back

'Cause
if we lost our minds
And we took it
way too far
I know
we'd be alright
Know
we would be alright
If you were
by my side
And we stumbled
in the dark
I know
we'd be alright
I know
we would be alright
'Cause
if we lost our minds
And we took it
way too far
I know
we'd be alright
I know
we would be alright
If you were
by my side
And we stumbled
in the dark
I know we'd be alright
we would be alright
Oh I've been shaking

my inhibitions

holdin' me back
You take me
places

Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
I feel
so free
When you're with me
baby
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back

I'm not a stranger
to the dark
Hide away
they say
'Cause we don't want
your broken parts
I've learned
to be ashamed
Of all my scars
run away they say
No one'll love you
as you are
But I won't let them
break me down to dust
I know that
there's a place for us
For
we are glorious
When
the sharpest words
Wanna
cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
I am brave
I am bruised
I am who I'm meant
to be this is me
Look out
'cause here I come
And I'm marchin' on
to the beat I drum
I'm not scared
to be seen
I make no apologies
this is me
Oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
Another round of
bullets hits my skin
Well fire away
'cause today
I won't
let the shame sink in
We are burstin'
through the barricades
And reachin'
for the sun
(We are
warriors)
Yeah that's
what we've become
I won't let them
break me down to dust
I know that
there's a place for us
For
we are glorious
When
the sharpest words
Wanna
cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
I am brave
I am bruised
I am who I'm meant
to be this is me
Look out
'cause here I come
And I'm marchin' on
to the beat I drum
I'm not scared
to be seen
I make no apologies
this is me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
this is me
And I know that
I deserve your love
There's nothing
I'm not worthy of
When
the sharpest words
Wanna
cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
This is brave
this is bruised
This is who I'm meant
to be this is me
Look out
'cause here I come
And I'm marchin' on
to the beat I drum
I'm not scared
to be seen
I make no apologies
this is me
Whenever the words
wanna cut me down
I'll send the flood
to drown 'em out
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
Oh
this is me

Heartbeats fast
colors and promises
How to be brave
how can I love
When I'm afraid
to fall
But watching you
stand alone
All
of my doubt
Suddenly goes away
somehow
One step
closer
I have died every day
waiting for you
Darling
don't be afraid
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not
Let anything
take away
What's standing
in front of me
Every
breath
Every hour has
come to this
One step
closer
I have died every day
waiting for you
Darling
don't be afraid
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more
And all along
I believed
I would
find you
Time has brought
your heart to me
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more

One step
closer
One step
closer
I have died every day
waiting for you
Darling
don't be afraid
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more
And all along
I believed
I would
find you
Time has brought
your heart to me
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more

From the get-go I knew
this was hard to hold
Like a crash
the whole thing
Spun
out of control
Oh on a wire
we were dancin'
Two kids
no consequences
Pull the trigger
without thinkin'
There's only one way
down this road
It was
like a time-bomb
Set
into motion
We knew that we were
destined to explode
And if I had
to pull
You
out of the wreckage
You know I'm never
gonna let you go
We're
like a time-bomb
Gonna lose it
let's defuse it
Baby we're
like a time-bomb
But I need it
wouldn't have it
Any other
way
Well there's no way
out of this
So let's
stay in
Every storms
that comes
Also comes
to an end
Oh resistance is
useless
Just two kids stupid
and fearless
Like a bullet
shootin' a lovesick
There's only one way
down this road
It was
like a time-bomb
Set
into motion
We knew that we were
destined to explode
And if I had
to pull
You
out of the wreckage
You know I'm never
gonna let you go
We're
like a time-bomb
Gonna lose it
let's defuse it
Baby we're
like a time-bomb
But I need it
wouldn't have it
Any other
way

Got my heart
in your hands
Like a time-bomb
tickin'
It goes off
we start again
When it breaks
we fix it
Got your heart
in my hands
Like a time-bomb
tickin'
We should know better
but we won't let go
It was
like a time-bomb
Set
into motion
We knew that we were
destined to explode
And if I had
to pull
You
out of the wreckage
You know
I'm never
Gonna let you
let me go
We're
like a time-bomb
Gonna lose it
let's defuse it
Baby we're
like a time-bomb
But I need it
wouldn't have it
Any other
way

I don't wanna
be another him
That sxxx is over
finally you found
Yourself a friend
and you run him over
Ever since
the start
I saw the end
around the corner
'Cause I know
you so well
So predictable
you're an animal
I can't
let you go
You're so good
at being bad you know
So predictable
you're an animal
I can't
let you go
You're so good
at being bad(uh)

You know I'm not gonna
leave your side
And I can't deny it
tried to play it cool
But I can't hide
my true desire
'Cause I can see
the dirty in your eyes
My favourite
liar
And I know you so well
well well well
So predictable
you're an animal
I can't
let you go
You're so good
at being bad you know

Waiting

You are on your worst

Wise men say
only fools rush in
But I can't help
falling in
love with you
shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
if I can't help falling
in love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand
take my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand take
my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
For I can't help
falling in
love with you.

Desperado
why don't you come to
Your senses
you've been out
Ridin fences
for so long now
Oh you're a hard one
but I know that
You've got
your reasons
These things
that are pleasin'
You can hurt you
somehow
Don't you draw
the Queen of diamonds
Boy she'll beat you
if she's able
You know
the Queen of hearts
Is always
your best bet
Now it seems to me
some fine things
Have been laid
upon your table
But you only
want the ones
You can't get
desperado
Oh you ain't
gettin no younger
Your pain and
your hunger
They're drivin
you home
And freedom
oh freedom
Well that's just
some people talkin'
Your prison is
walking through
This world all alone
don't you
Feet get cold
in the wintertime
The sky won't snow
and the sun
Won't shine
it's hard to tell
The night time
from the day
And you're losin all
your highs and lows
Ain't it funny
how the feelin
Goes away
desperado
Why don't you
come to your senses
Come down
from your fences
Open the gates
it may be rainin
But there's a rainbow
above you
You'd better
let somebody love you
(Let somebody
love you)
You'd better
let somebody love you
Before
it's too late-
