Sarah McLachlan - Trust

 

 

 

Somewhere deep inside me

I hold a picture of a time long gone

A time of ease and simple pleasures

And days in shadows not so long

 

Now with my mind I'm struggling

Holding on to what I believe

Listen to the fragments of my thoughts

That leave me broken and decieved

 

'Cause I don't know the way

He said "I can take you there

I can show you places where

Our time has had no ware"

And as we walked the plains

The skies, they open wide

Revealing all the shame

For what's been lost inside us all

 

It's a day in the life

In my mind I've seen it all

Sometime soon for all to see

The walls are slowly breaking down

In my mind I've seen it all

And someday we'll be free

 

 

We're searching for a message

Or so I thought, but so it seems

The ignorance in the myths of others

Is easier to redeem

 

I've never questioned the answers given

To find the faith that's been lost within

'Cause where I lay my trust in others

Where it lies the ground is thin...

 

'Cause I don't know the way

He said "I can take you there

I can show you places where

Our time has had no ware"

And as we walked the plains

The skies, they open wide

Revealing all the shame

For what's been lost inside us all

 

It's a day in the life

In my mind I've seen it all

Sometime soon for all to see

The walls are slowly breaking down

In my mind I've seen it all

And someday we'll be free

 

 

It's a day in the life

In my mind I've seen it all

Sometime soon for all to see

The walls are slowly breaking down

In my mind I've seen it all

And someday we'll be free

 

I know you say you love me

If what you say is true

So show me something that's not decieving

'Cause I wouldn't lie to you

 

It's a day in the life

In my mind I've seen it all

Sometime soon for all to see

The walls are slowly breaking down

In my mind I've seen it all

And someday we'll be free

 

It's a day in the life

In my mind I've seen it all

Sometime soon for all to see

The walls are slowly breaking down

In my mind I've seen it all

And someday we'll be free

Sarah McLachlan - Steaming

 

 

You're always waiting on the tide

It's time you decide

I've walked down long roads that seem to have no end at all

You never wanted time to end

To let my life offend

It's time to realize what hides deep inside your holy eyes

Hold on tight, hold on fast

This ain't the kind that always lasts

If you want me to go just ask me to go, I'll go

All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you

Run away my love, over the hills and right on through you

Over the hills and right on through you

Lying awake in these restless dreams

Life's never what it seems

I've always tried to read your eyes

To get inside that scornful mind

Hold on tight, hold on fast

This ain't the kind that always lasts

If you want me to go just ask me to go, I'll go

All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you

Run away my love, over the hills and right on through you

Over the hills and right on through you

I was with you on that pallet steaming

Spinning 'round in circles dreaming

I was with you on that pallet steaming

Running 'round in circles screaming...

All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you...

Run away my love, over the hills and right on through

All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you...

Run away my love, over the hills and right on through

"Free Me" -  Roger Daltrey

 

Free me

Can't you hear that's what I say

Free me

Anyhow or any way

 

I hear a voice

Call in the night

Push on the brain

Fades with the light

And I see a face

With so many eyes

I hear the words

Knowing they're lies

 

Can't you hear me say

Can't you hear me say

Can't you hear me say

 

Free me, free me

Inside I'm bleeding can't you see

Free me

From all this pain and misery

 

I am a flame

But he held the fire

Call me a fool

Don't call me a liar

Take me to hell

And let me stay

Get that surprise

Then I'll have to pay

 

Can't you hear me say

Can't you hear me say

Can't you hear me say

 

Free me

 

I lie awake

Burning inside

Nowhere to run

And nowhere to hide

Old lady time

She's no friend to me

I feel her change

And she holds the key

 

Can't you hear me say

Can't you hear me say

Can't you hear me say

 

Free me, free me

Can't you hear that's what I say

Free me

Anyhow or any way

"Heaven Help Me" - RAIGN

 

Open my eyes

Your burning light

Open my eyes

Your burning light

 

There's something in the air tonight

I feel it in my bones it's over

Written in the stars the darkness comes to light

I walk along to feel alive

It's colder when we go into the fire

Come a little closer hold me through the night

 

Pull me out of the water

Give me all the air I need

 

[CHORUS:]

Heaven help me

Heaven save me from myself

I've been losing my religion

I'm headed for collision without you

(X2)

 

You gotta do it for yourself

No one else can fall to save you

Black and blue they'll cover you

The waves crash down

Running from the gates of hell

All you gotta do is read the signs

Love is like a choir of angels' holy sound

 

Pull me out of the water

Give me all the air I need

 

[CHORUS]

 

Open my eyes

Your burning light

Open my eyes

Your burning light

 

Heaven help me

Heaven save me from myself

I've been losing my religion

I'm headed for collision without you

(X2)

 

Open my eyes

Your burning light

Open my eyes

Your burning light

 

Can you save me now

"Voices In The Sky" - The Moody Blues

 

Bluebird flying high

Tell me what you sing

If you could talk to me

What news would you bring

Of voices in the sky

 

Nightingale hovering high

Harmonize the wind

Darkness, your symphony

I can hear you sing

Of voices in the sky

 

Just what is happening to me

I lie awake with the sound of the sea

Calling to me

 

Old man passing by

Tell me what you sing

Though your voice be faint

I am listening

Voices in the sky

 

Children with a skipping rope

Tell me what you sing

Playtime is nearly gone

The bell's about to ring

Voices in the sky

 

Just what is happening to me

I lie awake with the sound of the sea

Calling to me

 

Bluebird flying high

Tell me what you sing

If you could talk to me

What news would you bring

Of voices in the sky

 

Voices in the sky

Voices in the sky

Voices in the sky

"PrizeFighter"

Trisha Yearwood feat. Kelly Clarkson

https://youtu.be/LBqvLRdeTew

 

Here you are face to face with your greatest test of faith

It ain't looking good but you wouldn’t run even if you could

Cause you know what's on the line, it’s win or lose, do or die

Every swing is coming fast and the punches knock you back

 

[CHORUS:]

When you hit the ground, you find your wings

You go one more round when that bell rings

They say you’re done, but here you come

You’re a hammer hitting, spitting fire

PrizeFighter

When you’re sweating from the fear, you look it in the eye

Turn the sound of defeat into your battle cry

The stakes are down, you’re outta luck

Look at you, smiling with a shiner, standing higher

PrizeFighter

 

When you see ‘em shake their heads, that’s when you start seeing red

From your head down to your toes, you find your glory, strength and hope

Come on, come on, comeback kid show ‘em how you never quit

You’re gonna rise from the pain, you're like a hurricane

 

[CHORUS]

 

When you’re sweating from the fear, you look it in the eye

Turn the sound of defeat into your battle cry

The stakes are down, you’re outta luck

Look at you, smiling with a shiner, standing higher

PrizeFighter

 

Look at you standing tall

And you still ain’t had enough

Look at you standing tall

And you still ain’t had enough

"A World With You" - Jason Mraz

 

 

Let's hit the road and throw out the map

Wherever we go, we won't look back

Cause we're going places and we're going there fast

 

Let's move to Paris and get ourselves a loft

Let's live in squalor, and spend all cost

Let's throw caution to the wind and start over again

 

[CHORUS:]

Think how many doors will open

Just as many stars will shine

Who knows where we're going

And who knows what we'll find

I want to see the world

The way I see a world with you

 

Let's hike in the mountains and challenge our will

Let's leap over canyons and get lost in the hills

I want to see the world the way I see a world with you

 

[CHORUS]

 

All of our prayers will be answered 

The sum of all our failures, they cannot hurt us now

Let's hoist up ourselves

And shove off to China and climb up a wall

We'll keep on climbing, looking over it all

Laughing it up, yeah having a ball

 

Think how many doors will open

Just as many stars are going to shine

Who knows where we're going

And who knows what we'll find

I want to see the world

The way I see a world with you

 

I want to see the world

The way I see a world with you

The Cars - Drive

 

 

who's gonna tell you when

it's too late

who's gonna tell you things

aren't so great

you can't go on

thinking nothing's wrong

who's gonna drive you home tonight

 

who's gonna pick you up

when you fall

who's gonna hang it up

when you call

who's gonna pay attention

to your dreams

who's gonna plug their ears

when you scream

 

you can't go on

thinking nothing's wrong

who's gonna drive you home tonight

 

who's gonna hold you down

when you shake

who's gonna come around

when you break

Liked this one even as a kid. 

[[Lo...]]

 

Liked this one even as a kid. 

 

I think I heard it first as a kid during a Live Aid performance. That was such a wonderful benefit concert.

[[Yo...]]

Yeah, a defining moment for the '80s. U2 performed "Bad", which is a favorite.

Bad — U2

 

If you twist and turn away

If you tear yourself in two again

If I could, yes I would

If I could, I would

Let it go

 

Surrender

Dislocate

 

If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind

Leave this heart of clay

See you walk, walk away

Into the night

And through the rain

Into the half-light

And through the flame

 

If I could through myself

Set your spirit free, I'd lead your heart away

See you break, break away

Into the light

And to the day

 

To let it go

And so to fade away

To let it go

And so, fade away

Wide awake

I'm wide awake

Wide awake

I'm not sleeping

 

If you should ask then maybe they'd

Tell you what I would say

True colors fly in blue and black

Bruised silken sky and burning flag

Colors crash, collide in bloodshot eyes

 

If I could, you know I would, if I could, I would

Let it go

 

This desperation

Dislocation

Separation, condemnation

Revelation in temptation

Isolation, desolation

 

Let it go

And so fade away

To let it go

And so fade away

To let it go

Oh now, and so to fade away

 

I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake

Wide awake

I'm not sleeping

 

 

 

[[Lo...]]

Oh, yes, thanks for the memories  . I remember that the whole "The Unforgetable Fire" album is what I played over and over for a long period of time. I actually like it better than the Joshua Tree. It's more atmospheric, I suppose.

"Set Me Free" - Chris Rea

 

Wake up see the morning light

This is you, this is today

You try so hard to get it right

Can't help thinking somewhere you lost your way

When was the last time you saw a smile

There's a scream on every silent face you see

They're singing, "Set me free, set me free"

 

I got a friend who burns like a fire

Says there's only one thing you'll ever know

It's out there somewhere way past the sunset line

Way out on the open road

And me I'm always looking down

Down that road out of town

Each morning and night you can see me

I'm singing, "Set me free, set me free"

 

Goodnight, Auberge, I leave you now

You must sleep while I work the day

Till I return to dream of you

Through the night

And that free freeway

"Laugh To Keep From Crying" - Madonna

 

I can't lock my door

Oh, I don't have no privacy

The only thing that's mine

Is what's inside of me

 

And when I've had enough

A little voice inside

It says you've got to be tough

You've got to take it in stride

 

Sometimes I am foolish

I let it get the best of me

At least I know that my mistakes

Are my responsibility

 

And I just have to laugh to keep from crying

I just have to laugh to keep from crying

 

I don't have a dime

Oh, to buy those pretty things

But I hear all the evidence

You know it all sounds the same

 

But I'm still waiting

I've got my hands open wide

You know my dream isn't fading

I keep it hidden inside

 

I just have to laugh to keep from crying

I just have to laugh to keep from crying

I just have to laugh to keep from crying

I keep on trying

 

My friends don't understand

Oh, they think I've lost my mind

And I'm choking back the tears

I've got to swallow my pride

 

I just have to laugh to keep from crying

I just have to laugh to keep from crying

 

I just have to laugh

Laugh

Laugh

 

:'(
