"Before The Dawn" - Evanescence

 

Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you

I want nothing more than to see you there

And maybe tonight we'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn

 

If only night could hold you

Where I can see you, my love

Then let me never ever wake again

And maybe tonight we'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn

 

Somehow I know

That we can't wake again from this dream

It's not real but it's ours

Maybe tonight we'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn

 

Maybe tonight we'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn

"Run Between the Raindrops" - Pat Benatar

 

It's always one thing or another

Seems like we never get ahead

Reaching out for the brass ring

And landing in the dirt instead

 

We can't get past yesterday

We're only counting down from ten

It seems like every move we make

Brings us back where we began

 

[CHORUS:]

You've gotta run between the raindrops

If you wanna see the sun

Run, run, run between the raindrops

Run between the raindrops

If you wanna see the sun

Run, run, run

Run, Baby, run

 

Somewhere there's a sun that's shining

Somewhere we'll find a life that's good

Some way I'm gonna make it happen

Just like you always knew I could

 

We're treading water on a river of tears

And I don't know what to do

I can take a beating

But I ain't gonna let it happen to you, you

 

[CHORUS]

 

We're treading water on a river of tears

And I don't know what to do

 

You've gotta run between the raindrops

If you wanna see the sun

Run, run, run between the raindrops

Run between the raindrops

If you wanna see the sun

Run, run, run

Run, Baby, run

 

Run between the raindrops

If you wanna see the sun

You gotta run, run, run

Run, Baby, run

 

You gotta run, run, run

Run, Baby, run

"Friend" - Ziggy Marley

 

 

I wanna thank you

For the things you've done

I wanna thank you

For your generosity

And I'll never be alone

 

That's because, that's because

You are my friend

That's because, that's because

You are my friend

 

Been through thick and thin together

Through the ups and downs

Yet we still remain

And I can talk to you forever 

 

That's because, that's because

You are my friend

That's because, that's because

You are my friend

 

Before I met you I was real low

Now everyone knows

Now that I know you

Hey, I'm real high

 

I wanna thank you

For the day and nights

I wanna thank you

For the breath of life

Without you I'd be lost

 

That's because, that's because

You are my friend

That's because, that's because

You are my friend

 

Just as long, just as long

As you're my friend

Just as long, just as long

As you're my friend

 

That's because you are my friend

You are my friend

"Dark Blue" - Jack's Mannequin

 

I have, I have

You breathing down my neck

Breathing down my neck

I don't, don't know

What you could possibly expect

Under this condition

 

So I'll wait, I'll wait

For the ambulance to come

Ambulance to come

Pick us up off the floor

What did you possibly expect

Under this condition

So slow down

 

[CHORUS:]

This night's a perfect shade of

Dark blue, dark blue

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room

Well, I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning, burning down

Dark blue, dark blue

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room

Well, I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning

Till there's nothing but

Dark blue, just dark blue

 

This flood, this flood is slowly rising up

Swallowing the ground

Beneath my feet

Tell me how anybody thinks

Under this condition

 

So I'll swim I'll swim

As the water rises up

Sun is sinking down

And now all I can see

Are the planets in a row

Suggesting it's best that I slow down

 

[CHORUS]

 

We were boxing

We were boxing the stars

We were boxing

You were swinging for mars

 

And then the water reached the west coast

And took the power lines, the power lines

And it was me and you

And the whole town under water

There was nothing we could do

And the world was dark blue

 

Dark blue, dark blue

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room

Well, I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning, burning down

Dark blue

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room

Well, I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning

Now there's nothing but dark blue

If you've ever been alone, you'll know

Dark Blue

 

If you've ever been alone

You'll know

You'll know

"Everything Changes" - Julian Lennon

 

Tired of this world

All the good that we do

Never seems to get through

It's a shame

 

We've pleaded for change

But the wars carry on

Whether you're weak or strong

Don't you know

 

[CHORUS:]

I can change, you can change

Everything wrong with our lives

We can change all of our lives

Everything changes every day

We've got to find a better way

And on our hearts we've got to pray

For something better than today

Everything changes

 

Tired of the lies

All the people in pain

We all suffer the same without love

We can't carry on with the hunger, disease

And the threat of you dropping the bomb

 

[CHORUS]

 

Everything learned from history

Can't you see

Life is meant to be you and me

Watching the sun go down

Turn your life around

 

Everything changes everyday

We've got to find a better way

And on our hearts we've got to pray

For something better than today

 

Everything changes

Everything changes

"Little Bird" - The Weepies

https://youtu.be/seeSH1wliB8

 

Sometimes it's hard to say even one thing true

When all eyes have turned aside

They used to talk to you

And people on the street seem to disapprove

So you keep moving away

And forget what you wanted to say

 

[CHORUS:]

Little bird, little bird

Brush your grey wings on my head

Say what you said, say it again

They tell me I'm crazy

But you told me I'm golden

 

Sometimes it's hard to tell the truth from a lie

Nobody knows what's in the hold of your mind

We are all buildings and people inside

Never know who'll walk through the door

Is it someone that you've met before

 

[CHORUS]

 

I know what I know

A wind in the trees

And a road that goes winding under

From here I see rain I hear thunder

Somewhere there's sun

And you don't need a reason

 

Sometimes it's hard to find a way to keep on

Quiet weekends, holidays, you come undone

Open your window and look upon

All the kinds of alive you can be

Be still, be light, believe me

 

Little bird, little bird

Brush your grey wings on my head

Say what you said, say it again

They tell me I'm crazy

But you told me I'm golden

"Maybe" - Birdy

 

Maybe, I know it's just maybe

And we're only dreaming

For how this will go, oh, oh, oh

 

But maybe one day this daydream

Would turn into real things

For all that we know, oh, oh, oh

We could be doing anything that we love

Just be carried by the way the wind blows, oh, oh

You could be doing anything you dream of

If you believe in the things that make you strong

 

Someday we'll meet on the high street

We'll laugh about when we

Worried about what we might be

 

Then maybe we'll talk about old days

We'll smile in our old ways

You'll always be part of me

 

We could be doing anything that we love

Just be carried by the way the wind blows, oh, oh

You could be doing anything you dream of

If you believe in the things that make you strong

 

You could be doing anything you dream of

If you believe in the things that make you strong

 

Maybe, I know it's just maybe

And we're only dreaming

For how this will go, oh, oh, oh

 

Just maybe, maybe, maybe

"Where Can You Run" - Jennifer Rush

 

 

Just when you think

You know where you stand

Just when you feel secure

Someone walks in

And changes all your plans

 

Right when you had

Your feet on the ground

Finally self-assured

Somehow it all just slipped

Right through your hands

 

Where can you run

When the walls of your dreams

Come tumbling down

Where can you run

When the world you believed in

Has broken its vow

When you don't know where to turn

You can believe

I'll be there for you

The way you were for me

 

Just when you had

The game figured out

Mastered all the moves

Someone walks in

And changes all the rules

 

Where are the people

You thought were your friends

After they heard the news

Hard to believe

They would turn their backs on you

 

Where can you run

When the walls of your dreams

Come tumbling down

And where can you run

When the ones you believed in

Are nowhere around

When you meet some of your darkness

You will see

I'll be there for you

The way you were for me

 

When you don't know where to turn

You can believe

I'll be there

When hope has disappeared

In your darkest hour of need

 

I'll be there for you

The way you were for me

For me, yeah

Slowdive - Sugar for the Pill

 

 

There's a buzzard of gulls

They're drumming in the wind

Only lovers alive

Running in the dark

 

And I rolled away

Said we never wanted much

Just a rollercoast'

Our love has never known the way

Sugar for the pill

You know it's just the way things are

Cannot buy the sun

 

 

This jealousy will break the whole

 

Cut across the sky

And move a little closer now

Lying in a bed of greed

You know I had the strangest dream

 

And I rolled away

Said we never wanted much

Just a rollercoast'

Our love has never known the way

Sugar for the pill

You know it's just the way things are

Cannot buy the sun

This jealousy will break the whole

 

And I rolled away

Said we never wanted much

Just a rollercoast'

Our love has never known the way

Sugar for the pill

You know it's just the way things are

Cannot buy the sun

This jealousy will break the whole

"Smiling Faces Sometimes" -The Undisputed Truth

 

Smiling faces sometimes

Pretend to be your friend

Smiling faces show no traces

Of the evil that lurks within

 

[CHORUS:]

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

They don't tell the truth

Smiling faces, smiling faces

Tell lies and I got proof

 

Let me tell you

The truth is in the eyes

Cause the eyes don't lie, amen

Remember a smile is just a frown

Turned upside down, my friend

So hear me when I'm saying

 

[CHORUS]

 

Beware of the handshake

That hides the snake

I'm telling you beware

Beware of the pat on the back

It just might hold you back

 

Jealousy

Misery

Envy

That you can't see behind smiling faces

 

[CHORUS]

 

Your enemy won't do you no harm

Cause you'll know where he's coming from

Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya

Take my advice I'm only trying to school ya

 

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

They don't tell the truth

Smiling faces, smiling faces

Tell lies and I got proof

"Games People Play" - Joe South

https://youtu.be/5znh58WITU8

 

Oh the games people play now

Every night and every day now

Never meaning what they say now

Never saying what they mean

 

While they wile away the hours

In their ivory towers

Till they're covered up with flowers

In the back of a black limousine

 

[CHORUS:]

La-da da da da da da da

La-da da da da da dee

Talking about you and me

And the games people play now

 

Oh we make one another cry

Break a heart then we say goodbye

Cross our hearts and say we hope to die

Except the other one's to blame

 

But neither one will give in

So we gazed at our eight by ten

Thinking about the things that might have been

It's a dirty rotten shame

 

[CHORUS]

 

People walking up to you

Singing glory hallelujah

And they're trying to sock it to you

In the name of the Lord

 

They're gonna teach you how to meditate

Read your horoscope, cheat your faith

And further more to hell with hate

Come on, get on board

 

[CHORUS]

 

Look around tell me what you see

What's happening to you and me

God grant me the serenity

To just remember who I am

 

Cause you've given up your sanity

For your pride and your vanity

Turn your back on humanity

And you don't give a

 

La-da da da da da da da

La-da da da da da dee

I keep on talking about you and me

And the games people play now

 

La-da da da da da da da

La-da da da da da dee

I keep on talking about you and me

And the games people play now

"What Do You Hear In These Sounds"

Dar Williams

 

I don't go to therapy to find out if I'm a freak

I go and I find the one and only answer every week

And it's just me and all the memories to follow

Down any course that fits within a fifty minute hour

 

And we fathom all the mysteries, explicit and inherent

When I hit a rut, she says to try the other parent

And she's so kind, I think she wants to tell me something

But she knows that its much better if I get it for myself

And she says

 

Ooh, What do you hear in these sounds

Ooh, What do you hear in these sounds

 

I say I hear a doubt, with the voice of true believing

And the promises to stay, and the footsteps that are leaving

And she says "Oh," I say, "What?" she says, "Exactly,"

I say, "What, you think I'm angry

Does that mean you think I'm angry?"

 

She says "Look, you come here every week

With jigsaw pieces of your past

Its all on little soundbites and voices out of photographs

And that's all yours, that's the guide, that's the map

So tell me, where does the arrow point to

Who invented roses"

 

And ooh oh, what do you hear in these sounds

And ooh oh, what do you hear in these sounds

 

And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think

That it only makes you selfish and in love with your shrink

But oh how I loved everybody else

When I finally got to talk so much about myself

 

And I wake up and I ask myself what state I'm in

And I say well I'm lucky, cause I am like East Berlin

I had this wall and what I knew of the free world

Was that I could see their fireworks

And I could hear their radio

 

And I thought that if we met, I would only start confessing

And they'd know that I was scared

They would know that I was guessing

But the wall came down and there they stood before me

With their stumbling and their mumbling

And their calling out just like me

 

And ooh, oh the stories that nobody hears

And ooh, oh I collect these sounds in my ears

And that's what I hear in these sounds

And that's what I hear in these

That's what I hear in these sounds

"Angel" - Chaka Khan

 

Troubled little angel

Inconsistent

Flying blind most of the time

Drama queen

 

Preening and untangling

The feathers in her wings

Captured by her dreams

Desperately she sings

 

Needy little baby

Open up your heart

Don't you be afraid to feel

Needy little baby

Hiding deep inside

Don't you know your love can heal

 

Troubled little angel

Inconsistent

Flying blind most of the time

Don't know who to be

 

Always rearranging

The wreckage of her life

Ever holding tight

To the hope that she'll be free

 

Needy little baby

Open up you're eyes

Don't you be afraid to feel

Needy little baby

Hiding deep inside

Don't you know your love can heal

 

Talking to you, angel, angel

Deep inside of me

Talking to you, angel, angel

One day you'll be free

 

Angel, angel

Deep inside of me

Talking to you, angel, angel

One day you'll be free

 

One day you'll open your wings up high

One day you'll fly

One day you'll fly

"I Walk With You" - Saga  

 

http://wfiles.brothersoft.com/p/panda-eat-bamboo_98271-1280x800.jpg

 

It's days like these

That resurrect all the memories

I wonder what I'd say if you were here today

 

When I think of you

Mixed emotions cloud my view

Would you be proud or have I let you down

 

I don't look back in anger

I look back in awe

Cause every time I stumbled

You never let me fall

 

I don't believe in miracles

I don't believe wishes come true

But I do believe I still believe in you

 

I don't believe in fairy tales

Or the man in the moon

But I do believe each day I walk with you

 

My thoughts of you

Will keep me awake tonight

But if sleep I'll dream in black and white

 

I don't look back in anger

I look back in awe

Cause every time I stumbled

You never let me fall

 

I don't believe in miracles

I don't believe wishes come true

But I do believe each day I walk with you

"Black Flame" - Renaissance

https://youtu.be/IKsirIXd0Z4

 

I am words, I am speaking

I never heard my conclusion

Lost the way in my confusion, in illusion

Lost inside the picture frame

 

I'm not to blame, I didn't see the black flame

I'm not ashamed, it's poetry, the black flame

I'm rearranged, it's changing me, the black flame

Burns my blackened brain

 

I am strong, I am leaving

I never knew I'd feel the need so

Where to go, I'll turn the flow, I could not know

Screams inside the burning pain

 

Its spinning head, it's underhand, the black flame

It lies instead, I turned and I ran, the black flame

On me, it fed, I understand, the black flame

Burns my blackened brain

 

Run from me, don't you see

That we are one and I'm a part of you

Get away, any way

I'm still a secret in the heart of you

And I'm the burning in your soul

 

Now I'm weak, I am losing

I never thought I'd stop trying

I'm a lie, I'm just a sigh, just a crying

Just a symbol of the game

 

Suspended pain, I can not face the black flame

Intended fear, I can not trace the black flame

Extended reaching into space, the black flame

Burns my blackened brain

"Give Me Something" - Seafret

 

What you say tells me nothing

What’s the truth, give me something

Take me down a road I believe in

Lost the way, lost all reason

Oooh, oooh

 

Give me something

Search the past for redemption

Broken glass, no reflection

Take me to a place I believe in

Lost my way, lost all reason

Oooh, oooh

 

Through the ruins, trying to save it

For I fall out, show me somehow I can make it

All that we gave, was it wasted

Falling down broke, holding on hope

That you make it

 

Give me something

Give me something

Give me something

To hold on to

I’ve got nothing

Since I lost you

"Birds Fly" - Ben Barnes

https://youtu.be/4aD-wh1Z0PQ

 

Birds fly

That's what they say

Lift up their wings

And they drift away

 

The sky's so clear

As I count the days

Trying hard to find

A reason not to stay

 

[CHORUS:]

Want to lay my head

Where the cold wind blows

Where the thunderstorms

Soak through my clothes

 

It rides on rails

Past my window pane

Shakes the glass

Runs through my drain

 

Birds fly

That's what they say

Leave it all behind

And they go their way

 

I pack my bags

And know I just can't stay

Your bed is warm, love

But the world seems big today

 

[CHORUS:]

 

Like wild geese fly

When the seasons change

Cold wind blows

I'm on my way

 

Want to lay my head

Where the cold wind blows

Where the thunderstorms

Soak through my clothes

 

Like wild geese fly

When the seasons change

And the cold wind blows

I'm on my way

And the cold wind blows

I'm on my way

"Forest For The Trees"

Huey Lewis And The News

 

When you're a young man and down and out

You really need someone to help you out

It looks like life or death is your only choice

It's really hard to see the forest for the trees

The forest for the trees

 

And when you get angry

And everything's black or white

You know that it ain't that simple

No one's always right

You know that your life is worth living

You gotta start taking if no one else is giving

 

And if you're not afraid to open your eyes

You may be pleasantly surprised

Things are never as bad as they seem

You just gotta learn to see the forest for the trees

The forest for the trees

You gotta learn to see

 

So if you need somebody, tell them please

If you want someone, get up off your knees

You know that your life is worth living

You gotta start taking if no one else is giving

 

And if you're not afraid to open your eyes

You may be pleasantly surprised

Things are never as bad as they seem

You just gotta learn to see the forest for the trees

The forest for the trees

You gotta learn to see

 

The forest for the trees

You just gotta learn to see

The forest for the trees
