"Thorns" - Tremble

 

Pain is like a rose

Gotta watch yourself on those thorns

Once you carry through

You can see it bloom like never before

 

Everybody says

You’ll find the answers in the sunrise

If it's all wrong

I know you’ll be alright

 

[CHORUS:]

If you don't know darkness then you can't see light

When the shadows fall I won't leave your side

You were cut wide open but you will survive

Everybody bleeds

Everybody cries

 

The garden of your heart

Is a wild and mysterious place

No one made a map

So you're always getting lost in the maze

 

Sun is fading fast

And suddenly you’ve missed your way out

Covered in the thorns

That pierce your heart with doubt

 

[CHORUS:]

 

Ooh, these thorns

We’re torn

Ooh, these thorns we’re torn

Torn

 

If you don't know darkness then you can't see light

When the shadows fall I won't leave your side

If you don't know darkness then you can't see light

Everybody bleeds

Everybody cries

 

Everybody bleeds

Everybody cries

"The Ladder" - The Waterboys

 

Once in my lifetime

I intend to see

The ladder ascending

In front of me

In front of me

In front of me

In front of me

(x2)

 

I've been searching without

I've been searching within

Up, down, all around, roundabout

Here and there, out and in

 

Because once in my lifetime

I intend to see

The ladder ascending

In front of me

In front of me

In front of me

 

I have come a long way

Over oceans and hills

I'm weary and unwhole

And I need my cup refilled

 

Once in my lifetime

I intend to see

The ladder ascending

In front of me

In front of me

In front of me

"Broken Ones" - Jacquie Lee

https://youtu.be/OBDHnPg1qh4

 

Cross your heart and say you've never given up

That you carried on when every door was shut

That you live, you live with no regret

 

We wear a smile to hide that we’ve been hurt before

Keep our disasters in a suitcase by the door

Cause you know, you know we’re only human

 

[CHORUS:]

So lay your hands on the left behind

We all know how it feels to be forgotten for a while

In a crowded place trying not to feel alone

Just remember that we’ve all been broken once

Let’s love the broken ones

Yea, love the broken ones

 

Raise your glass to all the words we never say

We do our best, but still we look the other way

Cause sometimes it’s easier to run

Cause after all, we’re only human

 

[CHORUS]

 

Sometimes we’re left behind

Feel like the only one

But we were born to try

Yeah, we’re only human

 

So lay your hands on the left behind

Yeah, we all know how it feels to be forgotten for a while

In a crowded place trying not to feel alone

Just remember that we’ve all been broken once

So let’s love the broken ones

Oh, love the broken ones

Let's love the broken ones

Oh, love the broken ones

Yeah, let’s love the broken ones

"Look After You" - Aron Wright

https://youtu.be/SyBmXmfi4Ew

 

http://www.thehindu.com/migration_catalog/article16642919.ece/alternates/FREE_660/PANDATH

 

When you think you're all alone

I'll wrap you up and I'll take you home

No matter what you're going through

I will look after you

 

When you get knocked down and you've had enough

Oh I'll be there to dust you off

When you don't know what you're gonna do

I will look after you

 

And if you ever should lose hope

Follow my light from afar

When you don't know where you're going to

I will look after you

I will look after you

 

Someday it will come to be

I'll need you to look after me

The Waterboys - The Stolen Child (High Quality)

 

 

Come away, human child

To the water

Come away, human child

To the water and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand

 

Where dips the rocky highland

Of Sleuth Wood in the lake

There lies a leafy island

Where flapping herons wake

The drowsy water rats;

There we've hid our faery vats

Full of berries

And of reddest stolen cherries

 

Come away, human child

To the water

Come away, human child

To the water and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand

 

Where the wave of moonlight glosses

The dim gray sands with light

Far off by furthest Rosses

We foot it all the night

Weaving olden dances

Mingling hands and mingling glances

Till the moon has taken flight;

To and fro we leap

And chase the frothy bubbles

While the world is full of troubles

And is anxious in its sleep

 

Come away, human child

To the water

Come away, human child

To the water and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand

 

Where the wandering water gushes

From the hills above Glen-Car

In pools among the rushes

The scarce could bathe a star

We seek for slumbering trout

And whispering in their ears

We give them unquiet dreams;

Leaning softly out

From ferns that drop their tears

Over the young streams

 

Away with us he's going

The solemn-eyed:

He'll hear no more the lowing

Of the calves on the warm hillside;

Or the kettle on the hob

Sing peace into his breast

Or see the brown mice bob

Around and around the oatmeal-chest

 

For he comes, the human child

To the water

He comes, the human child

To the water and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand

From a world more full of weeping than he can understand

Human child

Human child

With a faery, hand in hand

From a world more full of weeping than he can understand...

Than he can understand...

He can understand...

"God Bless the Child"

 

Aretha Franklin (RIP)

 

Eva Cassidy

 

Billie Holiday

https://youtu.be/Z_1LfT1MvzI

 

Them that's got shall get

Them that's not shall lose

So the Bible says

And it still is news

 

Mama may have

Papa may have

But God bless the child

That's got his own

That's got his own

 

Well, the strong gets more

While the weak ones fade

Empty pockets don't

Ever make the grade

 

Mama may have

Papa may have

But God bless the child

That's got his own

That's got his own

 

Money

When you've got money

You've got lots of friends

Crowding round your door

 

When you're gone

And your spending ends

They don't come around

Anymore

 

Rich relations give

A crust of bread and such

You can help yourself

But don't take too much

 

Mama may have

Papa may have

But God bless the child

That's got his own

That's got his own

"Broken" - The Guess Who

 

Take the spell away

And turn me back into a man

And give me credit

You know I'm doing all I can

 

[CHORUS:]

Grab onto something

That you think you can hold

Grab onto something

Cause you're growing old

Yes, I've been broken too

Yes, I've been broken too

Just like you

 

So bring your soul to me

And leave it here for just a while

Show the end to me

And see if I can fake a smile

 

[CHORUS]

 

I don't have to fear

Nobody else is here

Don't have to see

I know what I wanna be

Don't have to make an explanation to you

 

It's true

The deeper the drilling goes

Shows how much

The best of the better knows

That's why the bird with the broken wing never flew

 

And I've been broken too

Just like you

 

Grab onto something

That you think you can hold

Grab onto something

Cause you're growing old

Yes, I've been broken too

Yes, I've been broken too

Just like you

 

So bring your soul to me

"Birds" - East Love

 

I've been skimming the paper

I've been scrolling around

I've been trying to get up

But something's holding me down

 

I've been shutting my eyes

But getting no rest, no

I've been trying to leave

But can't get out of this nest

 

I left the stove on yesterday

And I put on a coat in the middle of May

And I wonder how many birds would it take

To carry me away

Away, away, away away

 

I've been taking days off

So I can do work

I've been trying to smile

But all I get is a smirk

 

And I'm starting to see

The day made way for the night

I'm not scared of the ocean

But I'm stuck in the tide

 

Headed out to Santa Fe

But I broke down on Avenue A

And I wonder how many birds would it take

To carry me away

Away, away, away away

 

I used to feel well

I used to be okay

Now I'm a man inside another metal cage

But I can hear them call

They're never far away

Can you hear them

 

I used to sleep at night

But now I lie awake

Dreaming up the perfect plan

For my escape

 

But I can hear them call

To carry me away

To carry me away

Away, away, away away

 

To carry me away

To carry me away

Away, away, away away

 

Headed out to Santa Fe

But I broke down on Avenue A

And I wonder how many birds would it take

To carry me away

Away, away, away away

 

To carry me away

Away, away, away away

"Ain't Going Down This Time"

Tony Joe White

 

I've been laying low

Living in the shadows

Spending time alone

Conversations with the wall

 

Hanging on

I'm just trying to matter

And I remain

Trying to make some sense of it all

 

I've been here before

I'm familiar with the pain

But I ain't running no more

There's one thing changed

 

Ain't going down this time

This time I ain't going down

 

Like an undertow

I feel the promise of the nighttime

But I've been down that road

And my search came to an end

 

I hit the motherload

Enough blues for a lifetime

Now I'm digging deep inside

Trying to find my way back again

 

You know you've entered

The danger zone

When you look in the eyes

And there's no one home

 

Ain't going down this time

This time I ain't going down

 

Deep in the night

I miss a woman's touch

The fire burns strong

And I'm drawn to the flame

 

But I pay the price

When I get caught up

In the heartbeat

And passion flows unrestrained

 

No one left to blame

I'm faced with the truth

And it's all too plain

When there's nothing left to lose

 

Ain't going down this time

This time I ain't

"Power of Two" - Indigo Girls

 

 

Now the parking lot is empty

Everyone's gone someplace

I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed

A cooler and a two day suitcase

 

Cause there's a place we like to drive

Way out in the country

Five miles out of the city limit we're singing

And your hand's upon my knee

 

[CHORUS:]

So we're okay, we're fine

Baby, I'm here to stop your crying

Chase all the ghosts from your head

I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed

Smarter than the tricks played on your heart

We'll look at them together then we'll take them apart

Adding up the total of a love that's true

Multiply life by the power of two

 

You know the things that I am afraid of

I'm not afraid to tell

And if we ever leave a legacy

It's that we loved each other well

 

Cause I've seen the shadows of so many people

Trying on the treasures of youth

But a road that fancy and fast

Ends in a fatal crash

And I'm glad we got off to tell you the truth

 

[CHORUS]

 

All the shiny little trinkets of temptation

Something new instead of something old

All you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface

And it's fools gold

Fools gold

Fools gold

 

Now we're talking about a difficult thing

And your eyes are getting wet

I took us for better and I took us for worse

And don't you ever forget it

 

Now the steel bars between me and a promise

Suddenly bend with ease

The closer I'm bound in love to you

The closer I am to free

 

So we're okay, we're fine

Baby, I'm here to stop your crying

Chase all the ghosts from your head

I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed

Smarter than the tricks played on your heart

We'll look at them together then we'll take them apart

Adding up the total of a love that's true

Multiply life by the power of two

"Long Nights" - Eddie Vedder

 

Have no fear

For when I'm alone

I'll be better off

Than I was before

 

I've got this life

I'll be around to grow

Who I was before

I cannot recall

 

Long nights allow me

To feel I'm falling

I am falling

The lights go out

Let me feel I'm falling

I am falling

Safely to the ground

 

I'll take this soul

That's inside me now

Like a brand new friend

I'll forever know

 

I've got this life

And the will to show

I will always be

Better than before

 

Long nights allow me

To feel I'm falling

I am falling

The lights go out

Let me feel I'm falling

I am falling

Safely to the ground

"Bluebird" - Lola Marsh

 

Darn this throat, I've fallen deep

Before I had the chance to swing it

Well, I guess my road

Has turned to dusty border

 

Tortuous streams had swept me down and back

I'm sinking in my finest dress

Tell me, man, am I lost

For I'd rather speak the voice of someone else

 

Can I be free as a bluebird

In the open sky I'll fly high

To be free from my fears

Is the only wish I have

Free as a bluebird

In the open sky I'll fly high

To be free is the only wish that I have

 

Darn this throat, I've fallen deep

Before I had the chance to swing it

Well, I guess my road

Has turned to dusty border

 

Can I be free as a bluebird

In the open sky I'll fly high

To be free from my fears

Is the only wish I have

Free as a bluebird

In the open sky I'll fly high

To be free is the only wish that I have

 

Can I be free as a bluebird

In the open sky I'll fly high

To be free from my fears

Is the only wish I have

"Between a Laugh and a Tear"

John Mellencamp and Rickie Lee Jones

 

When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in

And your adolescent dreams are gone

Through the days you feel a little used up

You don't know where your energy's gone wrong

 

It's just your soul feeling a little downhearted

Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live

You count your friends all on one finger

I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live

 

Between a laugh and a tear

Smile in the mirror as you walk by

Between a laugh and a tear

And that's as good as it can get for us

And there ain't no reason to stop trying

 

When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you

You see through everything and nothing seems worthwhile

And 'hypocrite' used to be such a big word to you

And it don't seem to mean anything to you now

 

Just try to live each and every precious moment

Don't be discouraged by the future, forget your past

That's old advice but it'll be good to you

I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past

 

Between a laugh and a tear

Smile in the mirror as you walk by

Between a laugh and a tear

And that's as good as it can get for us

And there ain't no reason to stop trying

(x2)

 

When paradise can no longer amuse you, yeah

"Born To Be A Winner" - Bonnie Tyler

 

You never give up

When the others they do

You never fail

You never feel blue

Everyone loves you

Baby, I tell you the truth

Life is the hardest game

But, Babe, not for you

 

You'll make it, you'll take it

You'll never look back

Walk through a fire

You'll never lose track

Everybody loves you

Oh, it's your time

Everybody needs you

Baby, be mine

 

You're born to be a winner

You're born to be a winner

Born to be a winner, my love

Oh, there's no mountain high enough

Don't hesitate

You're born to be a winner

Born to be a winner

You'll never give up

Or you'll break my heart

Baby, Baby, we can make a new start

 

You'll take every chance

You're so young and so strong

You'll give what they want

You'll never go wrong

Heaven must have sent you

Baby, you make me feel good

I'd spend the rest of my life with you

If only I could

 

You light up my life

Wrap my troubles in dreams

Take my desires

You know what that means

Everybody loves you

There's no other way

Everybody needs you

I beg you to stay

 

You're born to be a winner

You're born to be a winner

Born to be a winner, my love

Oh, there's no mountain high enough

Don't hesitate

You're born to be a winner

Born to be a winner

You'll never give up

Or you'll break my heart

Baby, Baby, we can make a new start

"Ashes" - Celine Dion

 

 

What's left to say

These prayers aren't working anymore

Every word shot down in flames

 

What's left to do

With these broken pieces on the floor

I'm losing my voice calling on you

 

Cause I've been shaking

I've been bending backwards till I'm broke

Watching all these dreams go up in smoke

 

Let beauty come out of ashes

Let beauty come out of ashes

And when I pray to God

All I ask is

Can beauty come out of ashes

 

Can you use these tears

To put out the fires in my soul

Cause I need you here

 

Cause I've been shaking

I've been bending backwards till I'm broke

Watching all these dreams go up in smoke

 

Let beauty come out of ashes

Let beauty come out of ashes

And when I pray to God

All I ask is

Can beauty come out of ashes

 

Can beauty come out of ashes

"Distress" - Crooked Still

 

So fades the lovely blooming flower

Frail smiling solace of an hour

So soon our transient comforts fly

And pleasure only blooms to die

 

Is there no kind, no healing hour

To soothe the anguish of the heart

Spirit of grace be ever nigh

Thy comforts honor me to die

 

Let gentle patience smile on pain

Till dying hope revives again

Hope wipes the tear from sorrows eye

And faith points up towards the sky

 

So fades the lovely blooming flower

Frail smiling solace of an hour

So soon our transient comforts fly

And pleasure only blooms to die

"Busload of Faith" - Bob Seger

 

You can't depend on your family

You can't depend on your friends

You can't depend on a beginning

You can't depend on an end

 

You can't depend on intelligence

You can't depend on the sky

You can only depend on one thing, honey

You need a busload of faith to get by

 

[CHORUS:]

Busload of faith to get by

Busload of faith to get by

Busload of faith to get by

You need a busload of faith to get by

 

You can't depend on the goodly hearted

The goodly hearted made lampshades and soap

You can't depend on your drinking

You can't depend on your dope

 

You can't depend on the president

Unless there's real estate that you want to buy

You can't depend on a lot of things

You need a busload of faith to get by

 

[CHORUS]

 

You can't depend on a miracle

You can't depend on the air

You can't depend on the wise men

You can't find them, they're not there

 

You can't depend on cruelty

When cruelty ain't borderline

You can't depend on the water, honey

You need a busload of faith to get by

 

Busload of faith to get by

Busload of faith to get by

Busload of faith to get by

You need a busload of faith to get by

(X2)

 

Get by

"Moving Mountains" - Skylar Grey

 

I just wanna show the world what I'm worth

Don't wanna be stuck like everybody else

I want more, more

I want more, more

 

You said, "I just wanna find my happiness"

That's why I work so hard, harder than the rest

I want more, more

I want more, more

 

For once, once in your life

For once push your ambitions aside

And instead of moving mountains

Let the mountains move you

For once, once in your life

For once just stop to open your eyes

And instead of moving mountains

Let the mountains move you

 

I just want them all to love me best

Cause maybe that would change how I feel about myself

I want more, more

I want more, more

 

For once, once in your life

For once push your ambitions aside

And instead of moving mountains

Let the mountains move you

For once, once in your life

For once just stop to open your eyes

And instead of moving mountains

Let the mountains move you

"Don't Look Down"

Lindsey Buckingham

https://youtu.be/gAeHvfJnhco

 

Diamonds in the sunset

Now your time has come

Pretty yellow bird

Fly away into the sun

 

Don't look down

Down

Do not look down

Down

 

Spread your broken wings

And learn how to fly

Take the diamonds from the sun

Wipe the tear from your eye

 

Don't look down

Down

Do not look down

Down

 

When the candles burn down

The world's turned to stone

That's when you've got to fly

Fly away home

 

Don't look down

Down

Do not look down

Down
