” Pray”

Sam Smith

 

 

I'm young and I'm foolish, I've made bad decisions

I block out the news, turn my back on religion

Don't have no degree, I'm somewhat naive

I've made it this far on my own

But lately, that shit ain't been gettin' me higher

I lift up my head and the world is on fire

There's dread in my heart and fear in my bones

And I just don't know what to say

 

 

Maybe I'll pray, pray

Maybe I'll pray

I have never believed in you, no

But I'm gonna pray

 

 

You won't find me in church  reading the bible 

I am still here and I'm still your disciple

I'm down on my knees, I'm beggin' you, please

I'm broken, alone, and afraid

I'm not a saint, I'm more of a sinner

I don't wanna lose, but I fear for the winners

When I try to explain, the words run away

That's why I am stood here today

 

 

And I'm gonna pray, pray  maybe I'll pray

Pray for a glimmer of hope

Maybe I'll pray pray maybe I'll pray

I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna

 

 

Won't you call me?

Can we have a one-to-one, please?

Let's talk about freedom

Everyone prays in the end

Everyone prays in the end

Won't you call me?

Can we have a one-to-one, please?

Let's talk about freedom

Everyone prays in the end

Everyone prays in the end

 

 

Oh, and I'm gonna pray, I'm gonna pray, I'm gonna pray

Pray for a glimmer of hope

Maybe I'll pray, pray, maybe I'll pray

I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna pray

” The Sea”

Haevn

 

 

“ The Sea”

 

 

Sun rays touch the coastline

On the cutter shows the dust

Long nights are gone with the river

The water has been waiting long enough

 

We float on the river of time

Hold steady hold steady

The sea comes, calls the summer

Forced out the cold

Don’t follow the change of the tides

Hold steady hold steady

Storm for hours and rainy days

 

And all of our lives we’re told

The stream will take us home

 

Sun rays touch the coastline

Warm our feet, show the glare

We walk through the sand in the warm light

The water will take the weight from us

 

And all our lives we’re told

The stream will take us home

 

We sell our lives to the sea

The sky lights up from the beach

 

❤️

“ Patricia”

Florence + The Machine

 

 

( acoustic)

 

 

"Patricia"

 

Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star

And I have to tell you something, I'm still afraid of the dark

But you take my hand in your hand

From you the flowers grow

And do you understand with every seed you sow you make this cold world...

Beautiful

 

You told me all doors are open to the believer

I believe her, I believe her, I believe her

You told me all doors are open to the believer

I believe her, I believe her, I believe her

 

Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh

Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh

 

You're a 'real man', and you do what you can

You only take as much as you can grab with two hands

With your big heart, you praise God above

But how's that working out for you, honey?

Do you feel loved?

 

She told me all doors are open to the believer

I believe her, I believe her, I believe her

She told me all doors are open to the believer

I believe her, I believe her, I believe her

 

Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh

Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh

 

Drink too much coffee and think of you often

In a city where reality has long been forgotten

Are you afraid? 'Cause I'm terrified

But you remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love

 

It's such a wonderful thing to love

It's such a wonderful thing to love

It's such a wonderful thing to love

It's such a wonderful thing

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Water From Wine" - Heather Nova

 

I've lost my headlights

Dark lets me see too much

And I'm just groping

For anything to touch

 

Am I a seabird

I have the strangest cry

Am I just drifting

Am I too far inside

 

Everything's changing

Everything's changing my mind

I'm going backwards

Backwards to water from wine

 

I can hear thunder

But I am made of stone

I'm reaching out

I'm reaching out but I'm still alone

 

I look for my body

But it just disappears

Nodody knows me

Everything feels like years

 

Everything's changing

Everything's changing my mind

I'm going backwards

Backwards to water from wine

 

I look for joy

It's in the cracks sometimes

I can hear music

But it's been locked inside

 

Everything's changing

Everything's changing my mind

I'm going backwards

Backwards to water from wine

(x2)

 

Every night owns me

Nothing is holy

Every night owns me

Nothing is holy

"I Don't Know" - J Lind

 

Skin like leather

Stretched and weathered

Can't say whether sun or smoke

Hair to shoulders

But this man is older

But still younger than I know

 

And I will fall asleep while he lies down

Beneath a streetlight on the edge of town

And though I try to rest

My conscience screams

I hear his mother whisper in my dreams

 

[CHORUS:]

"Just because you need a savior

Doesn't mean you're just a sinner

Just because there is a loser

Doesn't mean there is a winner

And sometimes the right answer

Is 'I don't know'"

 

Skin is snow white as chemicals fight

To keep the white light at an arm's length

Hair is all gone

But still it's too strong

And she's too young to go this way

 

And I will fall asleep while she falls through

Between the lab coats in a sterile room

And though I try to rest

My conscience screams

I hear her father whisper in my dreams

 

[CHORUS]

 

And I am screaming at the dice

"Why'd you roll that way?"

I am pleading with the night

Though it might be in vain

So I will sing the only thing that I can say

 

Just because you know the weather

Doesn't mean you know the season

Just because you know a heartbreak

Doesn't mean you know the reason

And sometimes the right answer

 

Just because we need a savior

Doesn't mean we're less than sinners

Just because we may be losers

Doesn't mean we can't be winners

And sometimes the right answer

Sometimes the right answer

 

Sometimes the right answer

Is "We don't know"

"Nightingale" - Norah Jones

https://youtu.be/HnZssGe2Jew

 

Nightingale

Sing us a song

Of a love that once belonged

 

Nightingale

Tell me your tale

Was your journey far too long

 

Does it seem like I'm looking for an answer

To a question I can't ask

I don't know which way the feather falls

Or if I should blow it to the left

 

Nightingale

Sing us a song

Of a love that once belonged

 

Nightingale

Tell me your tale

Was your journey far too long

 

All the voices that are spinning around me

Trying to tell me what to say

So can I fly right behind you

And you can take me away

(x2)

 

You can take me away

"An Anthem For The Broken"

Matthew Ryan

 

An anthem for the ones who hurt

Who broke their fists on dreams and dirt

Who climbed the hills and found the sea

Who saw the tops of home and tree

 

Who never left their hearts in scars

Who caught the fire in the stars

Who held their kids when they were scared

Who found the way from here to there

 

An anthem for the real reward

The sometimes broken and bent before

Where hope is lost and winter birds

Float from the wires when shots are heard

 

An anthem for my mother's arms

The bravest walk, the big alarm

The boxers, cops, and soldiers too

The ones who need no gratitude

 

We won't quit

 

An anthem for the brotherhood

The light in the dark and the lean for good

The knowing not which way to go

But here but for the grace of the unknown I know

 

A dollar's not a peace nor end

I'd do it all and all again

An anthem for the broken hearts

That made it worlds from where they'd start

 

We won't quit

We won't quit

We won't quit

We won't quit

 

[[...]]

"Ghosttown" - Madonna

 

 

Maybe it was all too much

Too much for a man to take

Everything's bound to break

Sooner or later

Sooner or later

 

You're all that I can trust

Facing the darkest days

Everyone ran away

We're gonna stay here

We're gonna stay here

 

Oh, oh

I know you're scared tonight

Oh, oh

I'll never leave your side

 

[CHORUS:]

When it all falls

When it all falls down

I'll be your fire when the lights go out

When there's no one

No one else around

We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

 

When the world gets cold I'll be your cover

Let's just hold onto each other

When it all falls

When it all falls down

We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

When it all falls

When it all falls down

We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

 

Tell me how we got this far

Every man for himself

Everything's gone to hell

We gotta stay strong

We're gonna hold on

 

This world has turned to dust

All we've got left is love

Might as well start with us

Singing a new song

Something to build on

 

Oh, oh

I know you're scared tonight

Oh, oh

I'll never leave your side

 

[CHORUS]

 

I know we're alright

Cause we'll never be alone

In this mad mad

In this mad mad world

Even with no light

We're gonna shine like gold

In this mad mad

In this mad mad world

 

When it all falls

When it all falls down

I'll be your fire when the lights go out

When there's no one

No one else around

We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

(x2)

 

When the world gets cold I'll be your cover

Let's just hold onto each other

When it all falls

When it all falls down

We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

When it all falls

When it all falls down

We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

"Prayers For Rain" - The Cure

 

You shatter me, your grip on me

A hold on me so dull it kills

You stifle me with infectious sense

Of hopelessness and prayers for rain

 

I suffocate, I breathe in dirt

And nowhere shines but desolate

And drab the hours all spent

On killing time again

On waiting for the rain

 

You fracture me, your hands on me

A touch so plain, so stale it kills

You strangle me, entangle me

In hopelessness and prayers for rain

 

I deteriorate, I live in dirt

And nowhere glows but drearily and tired

The hours are spent on killing time again

Or waiting for the rain

 

You fracture me, your hands on me

A touch so plain, so stale it kills

You strangle me, entangle me

In hopelessness and prayers for rain

 

Prayers for rain

Prayers for rain

Prayers for rain

"Rain Bird" - Love And Rockets

 

Rain bird dives through the hole in a broken guitar

Rain bird sings a song so sad and blue

Like a stranded insect stuck in a bowl of glue

He tries to fly but he will die

If he ever leaves the zoo 

 

Rain bird

Rain bird

 

Rain bird swoops through the chimney pots and rain

Rain bird flies to the edge of a gilded cage

Hiding in the spotlights of a famous stage

He tries to become invisible

While stealing the front page

 

Rain bird

Rain bird

Rain bird

Rain bird

 

When you were a boy you used to wish for this

But like the cat who turns his nose up at the dish

Now that you have it you want to give it away

 

When you had to work so hard

Slogging for a pittance in a boot and shoe yard

That's when you wanted what you now give away

 

Rain bird

You're all the rage, bird

Rain bird

You're all the rage, bird

"No Rain" - Blind Melon

 

All I can say

Is that my life is pretty plain

I like watching the puddles gather rain

 

And all I can do

Is just pour some tea for two

And speak my point of view

But it's not sane

It's not sane

 

I just want someone to say to me

"I'll always be there when you awake"

You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today

So stay with me and I'll have it made

 

And I don't understand why I sleep all day

And I start to complain that there's no rain

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

And it rips my life away but it's a great escape

 

Escape

Escape

Escape

 

All I can say

Is that my life is pretty plain

You don't like my point of view

You think that I'm insane

 

It's not sane

It's not sane

 

I just want someone to say to me

"I'll always be there when you awake"

You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today

So stay with me and I'll have it made

 

I'll have it made, I'll have it made

You know I'm really gonna

Really gonna have it made

I'll have it made

"Rain" - Foreigner

 

Brother

Always reaching far too high

But I can see the tragic side

And it ain't easy

 

And Brother

You won't let anybody help

Why do you sacrifice yourself

You can't go on this way

 

Tell me why, oh why

Why don't you open up your heart

Let the light from inside

Show us who you are

 

[CHORUS:]

And when it looks like rain

And when the dark clouds fill your sky

There ain't no good reason why

You've got to feel the pain

Even when it looks like rain

Just hold your head up high

I know the sun's gonna shine

Even when it looks like rain

 

Hey Sister

Another story must be told

Just count the blessings you still hold

What's done is done

 

Yeah, Sister

You can find the one you need

Don't have to live the life you lead

Don't be the lonely one

 

Tell me why, oh why

Why don't you open up your heart

Let the light from inside

Show us who you are

 

[CHORUS]

 

Don't get down and don't get washed away

Just remind yourself every day

That into each life

A little rain must fall

So let it rain, rain, rain

 

Even when it looks like rain

Just hold your head up high

I know the sun's gonna shine

Even when it looks like rain

"Rainbow"

Sia

 

 

I know you

You’re a special one

Some see crazy where I see love 

You fall so low but shoot so high

Big dreamers shoot for open sky

 

So much life in those open eyes

So much depth, you look for the light

But when your wounds open, you will cry

You’ll cry out now and you’ll question why

 

[CHORUS:]

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as they fall on down

I can see your soul grow

Through the pain as they hit the ground

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as the sun comes out

As the sun comes out

 

I am here and I see your pain

Through the storms

Through the clouds, the rain

I’m telling you you cannot escape

You can do it, just feel, Baby

 

[CHORUS]

 

Here comes the sun

Smiling down

Here comes the sun

Smiling down

Here comes the sun

Smiling down

Smiling down

 

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as they fall on down

I can see your soul grow

Through the pain as they hit the ground

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as the sun comes out

As the sun comes out

(x2)

This Mortal Coil ~ "Song to the Siren"

[[...]]

"Break" - Jason Walker

 

Another day is ending soon

Throwing hands up to the sky

Will happiness ever resume

Or will the world just pass on by

 

So tired of waiting

For this all to disappear

Sanity can only wait

For so long

 

[CHORUS:]

Life is throwing all it has

All at once again

Just trying hard to hide the pain away

Hoping for the very best

To show up in the end

Before the thread I'm hanging from

Decides to break

 

The stars are black again tonight

Just another restless case

Of hope clearly out of sight

Of never leaving this dark place

 

I've done the best that I can do

There's not much left to hold on to

While the ground beneath my feet

Is caving in

 

[CHORUS]

 

I Wish I could leave it all

It would be easier than waiting here to fall

Just letting go might be the chance I have to take

Before the thread decides to break

 

Life is throwing all it has

All at once again

Just trying hard to hide the pain away

Hoping for the very best

To show up in the end

Before the thread I'm hanging from

Decides to break

 

Oh, it's gonna break

Break

It's gonna break

 

 

:'( :'(

"Run So Far"

 

Eric Clapton

 

George Harrison

 

You fly out as your smile wears thin

And I sigh knowing the mess you're in

And you know that you can't get away

And you know that you can't hide it from yourself

 

Lonely days

Heavy heart

No escape

Can only run so far

 

I know something I ought to say

Stuck here trying to find a way

And you know that you can't get away

And you know that you can't hide it from yourself

 

Lonely nights

Blue guitar

No way out

Can only run so far

 

Lonesome tears

At the bar

One way street

Can only run so far

 

I pray that you might make it through

Those teardrops can now seem a part of you

And you know that you can't get away

And you know that you can't hide it from yourself

 

Falling down

Under par

Can't get out

Can only run so far

 

Lonely days

Heavy heart

No escape

Can only run so far

 

Lonesome tears

At the bar

One way street

Can only run so far

"Pretty Bird" - Crooked Still

Fly away little pretty bird

Fly, fly away

Fly away little pretty bird

And pretty you'll always stay

 

I see in your eyes a promise

Your own tender love you'll bring

But fly away little pretty bird

Cold runneth the spring

 

Love's own tender flames warm this meeting

And love's tender song you sing

But fly away little pretty bird

And pretty you'll always sing

 

I cannot make you no promise

Love is such a delicate thing

Fly away little pretty bird

For he'd only clip your wings

 

Fly away little pretty bird

Fly, fly away

Fly away little pretty bird

And pretty you'll always stay

 

Fly far beyond the dark mountains

To where you'll be free evermore

Fly away little pretty bird

Where the cold winter winds don't blow

"I Still Believe" - The Call

 

I've been in a cave for forty days

Only a spark to light my way

I wanna give out, I wanna give in

This is our crime, this is our sin

 

But I still believe, I still believe

Through the pain and through the grief

Through the lies, through the storms

Through the cries and through the wars

 

Oh, I still believe

 

I'm flat on my back out at sea

Hoping these waves don't cover me

I'm turned and tossed upon the waves

When the darkness comes I feel the grave

 

But I still believe, I still believe

Through the cold and through the heat

Through the rain and through the tears

Through the crowds and through the cheers

 

Oh, I still believe

 

I'll march this road, I'll climb this hill

Upon my knees if I have to

I'll take my place up on this stage

I'll wait till the end of time for you

Like everybody else

 

I'm out on my own walking the streets

I look at the faces that I meet

I feel like I, like I want to go home

What do I feel, what do I know

 

But I still believe, I still believe

Through the shame and through the grief

Through the heartache, through the tears

Through the waiting, through the years

 

For people like us in places like this

We need all the hope that we can get

 

Oh, I still believe

"Hope For The Hopeless"

A Fine Frenzy

 

 

A stitch in your knitted brow

And you don't know how

You're gonna get it out

 

Crushed under heavy chest

Trying to catch your breath

But it always beats you by a step

Alright now

 

Making the best of it

Playing the hands you get

Well, you're not alone in this

 

 

There's hope for the hopeless

There's hope for the hopeless

There's hope

 

Cold in the summer breeze

Yeah, you're shivering

On your bended knee

 

Still, when your heart is sore

And the heavens pour

Like a willow bending with the storm

You'll make it

 

Running against the wind

Playing the cards you get

Something is bound to give

 

There's hope for the hopeless

There's hope for the hopeless

There's hope

 

There's hope

There's hope

 

There's hope

” She Said”

Collective Soul

 

 

"She Said"

 

She said that time is unfair

To a woman her age

Now that wisdom has come

Everything else fades

She said she realizes

She's seen her better days

She said she can't look back

To her days of youth

What she thought were lies

She later found was truth

She said her daddy had dreams

But he drank them away

And her mother's to blame

For the way she is today

 

Life's river shall rise

She Said

And only the strong shall survive

She Said

But I'm feeling quite weak

She Said

Will you comfort and forgive me

She Said

 

She said she's still searching

For salvation's light

She said she wishes all day

And she prays all night

She said she won't speak of love

Because love she's never known

She said it's moments like these

She hates to be alone

 

Forgive me

She Said

Forgive me

She Said

” White Flag”

Daughtry

 

 

"White Flag"

 

I lost my words lingering in the dark

Hard times, don't you know we've seen them all

Ain't one to preach

Ain't one to speak on what I don't know

I lay that burden down

With one hand, we're reaching for the sky

And one hand, holding on for life

I won't raise my, I won't raise my white flag

In this life

 

The moment I surrender, bury me in the ground

I'd die before you see me take a bow

You know we all got, you know we all got

You know we all got a lot to lose

I won't surrender, praise the lord my soul to take

Thank god I live to die another day

You know we all got, you know we all got

You know we all got a lot to lose

I won't raise my white flag

'Till I'm through

 

I found my way following a trail of hurt

'Cause my name ain't no stranger to the dirt

It's been dragged around, it's been kicked around

They left it lyin' there for dead, whoa

But I defy before I lose the right

And take the time to watch the river rise

I won't raise my, I won't raise my white flag

In this life

 

The moment I surrender, bury me in the ground

I'd die before you see me take a bow

You know we all got, you know we all got

You know we all got a lot to lose

I won't surrender, praise the lord my soul to take

Thank god I live to die another day

You know we all got, you know we all got

You know we all got a lot to lose

I won't raise my white flag

'Till I'm through

 

I won't raise my, I won't raise my

I won't raise my white flag until I'm through

Until I'm through

Yeah

 

The moment I surrender, bury me in the ground

I'd die before you see me take a bow

You know we all got, you know we all got

You know we all got a lot to lose

I won't surrender, praise the lord my soul to take

Thank god I live to die another day

You know we all got, you know we all got

You know we all got a lot to lose

I won't raise my white flag, no

I won't raise my white flag 'til I'm through

 

I won't raise my, I won't raise my

I won't raise my white flag until I'm through

 

I won't raise my, I won't raise my

I won't raise my white flag until I'm through
