"One Day You Will" - Lady Antebellum

https://youtu.be/IEyes40uG6w

 

You feel like you're falling backwards

Like you're slipping through the cracks

Like no one would even notice

If you left this town and never came back

You walk outside and all you see is rain

You look inside and all you feel is pain

And you can't see it now

 

[Chorus]

But down the road the sun is shining

In every cloud there's a silver lining

Just keep holding on (just keep holding on)

And every heartache makes you stronger

But it won't be much longer

You'll find love, you'll find peace

And the you you're meant to be

I know right now that's not the way you feel

But one day you will

 

You wake up every morning and ask yourself

What am I doing here anyway

With the weight of all those disappointments

Whispering in your ear

You're just barely hanging by a thread

You wanna scream but you're down to your last breath

And you don't know it yet

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

Find the strength to rise above

You will

Find just what you're made of, you're made of

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

One day you will

Oh one day you will

"Stranger" - Lola Marsh

 

During my younger years

Just like a fuse

They've got me burning like a rocket

 

But I was so serene

For I knew

I had a bit of sunshine in my pocket

 

Conceal my broken wings

They were bruised and battered

Reveal my shiny scars

A reminder of my courage

 

Stranger to my past

Moving, jumping fast

I am the wind

They are the mountains

 

My only consolation is

I'll always have some sunshine in my pocket

 

Conceal my broken wings

They were bruised and battered

Reveal my shiny scars

A reminder of my courage

 

Stranger to my past

Moving, jumping fast

I am the wind

(x3)

 

Hush now

Patience is a friend

Take a breath towards your end

"Flying High Falling Low"

Walking On Cars

 

Oh, they left the circus

And they bought expensive suits

And every evening

We'd watch them on the news

 

It's that time of year again

And you know I'd love to buy you something

But you know that I've got nothing

You know that I've got nothing

 

[PRE-CHORUS:]

Please

I've had enough

Please

I've had enough

In circles I'm turning

From this world I'm burning

Tell me what happens after this

 

[CHORUS:]

Some days I'm flying high

I'm falling low

Some days I'm made of gold

I'm made of stone

(x2)

 

I promised you better

But this is all I have

You say it's okay

And you take me as I am

 

It's that time of year again

And you know I'd love to buy you something

But you know that I've got nothing

You know that I've got nothing

 

[PRE-CHORUS]

 

[CHORUS]

 

It's that time of year again

And you know I'd love to buy you something

But you know that I've got nothing

You know that I've got nothing

(x2)

 

Please

I've had enough

Please

I've had enough

In circles I'm turning

From this world I'm burning

Tell me what happens after this

 

Some days I'm flying high

I'm falling low

Some days I'm made of gold

I'm made of stone

(x2)

 

It's that time of year again

And you know I'd love to buy you something

But you know that I've got nothing

You know that I've got nothing

(x2)

"Anymore Of This"

Mindy Smith and Matthew Perryman Jones

 

Where did I begin

Turning through the pages

But I don't know what I've read

 

Thread is wearing thin

Everything's familiar

But I don't know who I am

 

Do you know where you're going

Don't even know where I've been

 

Watching moments pass

I wanna run away from it

But I still won't take that step

 

Locked inside the glass

An empty box of memories

And a heart full of regret

 

Do you know where you're going

Don't even know where I am

 

I don't wanna miss

I don't wanna miss anymore of this

Letting go I wanna feel all of it

I'm hanging on every word you say

 

I gotta keep going

Can't stay where I am

 

I don't wanna miss

I don't wanna miss anymore of this

Letting go I wanna feel all of it

I'm hanging on every word you say

(x2)

 

After the fall

We can recover

What's left in the dark

Can still be discovered

I won't give up

I won't give up, oh no

(x2)

"Iridescent" - Linkin Park

 

You were standing in the wake of devastation

You were waiting on the edge of the unknown

With the cataclysm raining down

Insides crying, "Save me now"

You were there impossibly alone

 

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

You build up hope but failure's all you've known

Remember all the sadness and frustration

And let it go

Let it go

 

And in a burst of light that blinded every angel

As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars

You felt the gravity of tempered grace

Falling into empty space

No one there to catch you in their arms

 

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

You build up hope but failure's all you've known

Remember all the sadness and frustration

And let it go

Let it go

 

Let it go

Let it go

Let it go

Let it go

 

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

You build up hope but failure's all you've known

Remember all the sadness and frustration

And let it go

Let it go

"Give Me Strength"

Snow Patrol

https://youtu.be/8wreydkthkI

 

 

 

I choked back tears today

Because I can’t begin to say

How much you've shaped this boy

These last ten years or more

 

My friend, we've seen it all

Triumphs to drunken falls

And our bones are broken still

But our hearts are joined until

 

Time slips its tired hand

Into our tired hands

We've years till that day

And so much more to say

 

You give the strength to me

A strength I never had

I was a mess you see

I'd lost the plot so bad

You dragged me up and out

Out of the darkest place

There's not a single doubt

When I can see your face

 

My friend, we've seen it all

When it made no sense at all

You dared to light my path

And found the beauty in the aftermath

 

Let me hold you up

Like you held me up

It's too long to never say it

You must know I've always thought it

 

You give the strength to me

A strength I never had

I was a mess you see

I'd lost the plot so bad

You dragged me up and out

Out of the darkest place

There's not a single doubt

When I can see your face

"Shallow" - Carys Selvey

 

I walk around every day

With my head above the darkness

The storm below

I just can't face it

So I don't

 

You say I don't care at all

But if you only knew

At night all the sleep I lose

Over what I can't change

 

You don't understand

That this world's too cold

And my skin's not thick it's too thin

In an ocean that's as big as this

It's hard to stay afloat, not sink

I think I might just sink

 

So I need to think shallow thoughts

So that I don't fall too deep

In water I can't tame

Cause that's the only way I know

How to stay breathing

And keep myself from feeling

Every single blow that comes my way

I just stay in the shallow

 

The world can be a scary place

And it can tear you up if you let it

So I had to learn to forget it the hard way

 

You don't understand

That this world's too cold

And my skin's not thick it's too thin

In an ocean that's as big as this

It's hard to stay afloat, not sink

I think I might just sink

 

So I need to think shallow thoughts

So that I don't fall too deep

In water I can't tame

Cause that's the only way I know

How to stay breathing

And keep myself from feeling

Every single blow that comes my way

I just stay in the shallow

(Repeat)

"Home" - Passenger

 

They say home is where the heart is

But my heart is wild and free

So am I homeless or just heartless

Did I start this, did it start me

 

They say fear is for the brave

For cowards never stare it in the eye

So am I fearless to be fearful

Does it take courage to learn how to cry

 

So many winding roads

So many miles to go

 

They say love is for the loving

And without love maybe nothing is real

So am I loveless or do I just love less

Oh, since love left I've nothing left to feel

 

So many winding roads

So many miles to go

 

When I start feeling sick of it all

It helps to remember I'm a brick in the wall

That runs down from the hillside to the sea

And when I start feeling that it's gone too far

I lie on my back and stare up at the stars

And wonder if they're staring back at me

(Repeat)

"Dreaming In The Wind" - Mike Oldfield

 

You may see a white bird in a clear blue sky

I'm dreaming in the wind flying high

There's a whispering sound in the air all around

I'm dreaming in the wind as the sun goes down

 

You may see a bright star in a clear night sky

I'm dreaming in the wind as the earth rolls by

There's a silver light as the bird takes flight

I'm dreaming in the wind as the day turns to night

 

You may hear the wind sigh on a mountain high

I'm dreaming in the wind, I belong to the sky

On a distant shore there's no one no more

I'm dreaming in the wind, I'm at heaven's door

 

There's a new sunrise in the crimson skies

I'm dreaming in the wind as the white bird cries

See the silver light as the bird takes flight

I'm dreaming in the wind as the day turns to night

 

Dreaming in the wind

Dreaming

Dreaming in the wind

I'm dreaming in the wind

Dreaming

Dreaming in the wind

"Keep Your Head Up" - Chaka Khan

 

When your heart is free

It's easy to make a decision

When your head is clear

You know you have good judgment

 

But when your life is turning topsy-turvy

And you have no reasons

For what's disturbing

Remember these words

My father said to me

 

(CHORUS:)

He said, keep your head up

Don't say you love him

Walk away from all that is hurting

Find your power you know you're strong

Make that step and it will help you along

 

When your mind's at peace

Sleep comes so very peacefully

When you start to dream

There a wonderful end so very sweet

 

But when your life is turning topsy-turvy

And you have no reasons

For what's disturbing

Remember these words

A preacher said to me

 

[CHORUS]

(2x)

 

Why give up this time

You can win

Why give up

This battle is within

 

Why stay

And wonder what he's gonna do

Why choose him

When it's time to choose you

 

Keep your head up

Don't say you love him

Walk away from all that is hurting

Find your power you know you're strong

Make that step and it will help you along

(2x)

 

Keep your head up

Keep your head up

Keep your head up

 

Keep your head up to the sky

"To The Moon And Back" - Luke Bryan

 

 

Through the dirt and the gravel

Through the years and the miles

Every road that you traveled

Through the tears and the smiles

 

Through the clear and the muddy

Through the thick and thin

The quiet nights

The howling wind

 

Through the good and the ugly

The blue and the black

To the ends of the Earth

To the moon and back

 

Through all of the words

The mean and the kind

Through the strings that unravel

And the ties that bind

 

From the crazy and the different

To the more of the same

From the coast is clear

To a hurricane

 

Yeah, I'll be right beside you

On a roll or off the tracks

To the ends of the Earth

To the moon and back

To the moon and back

 

Through the bitter and the sweet

The cold and the fire

The lonely cotton sheets

And the burning desire

 

Until our song is over

Til the stars all fade to black

I'm gonna love you

To the ends of the Earth

To the moon and back

 

Yeah, I'm gonna love you

All the way to the moon and back

To the moon and back

"Wake Your Soul"

The Hope Arsenal

 

Eclipse blind the eye

When wet pierce the dry

And fill the space between the lines

Hold fast your faith and your mind

 

Afraid to run away

Unnerved here to stay

The faintest glance will steal away

And never see the final day

 

Alone to face the cold

I'll break before it's told

And see the sun aging old

Against the grain bright and bold

 

You slip and fail to breathe

The fires fall underneath

And wake your soul from final sleep

It all is lost in memory

 

Eclipse blind the eye

When wet pierce the dry

And fill the space between the lines

Hold fast your faith and your mind

"Snowbird"

 

        Anne Murray                                Catherine MacLellan

https://youtu.be/pq9bHd58-LA             

 

Beneath the snowy mantle cold and clean

The unborn grass lies waiting

For its coat to turn to green

 

The snowbird sings the song he always sings

And speaks to me of flowers

That will bloom again in spring

 

[CHORUS:]

Spread your tiny wings and fly away

And take the snow back with you

Where it came from on that day

The one I love forever is untrue

And if I could you know that I would

Fly away with you

 

When I was young my heart was young then too

And anything that it would tell me

That's the thing that I would do

 

But now I feel such emptiness within

For the thing that I want most in life

Is the thing that I can't win

 

[CHORUS]

 

The breeze along the river seems to say

That you'll only break my heart again

Should I decide to stay

 

So little snowbird

Take me with you when you go

To that land of gentle breezes

Where the peaceful waters flow

 

Spread your tiny wings and fly away

And take the snow back with you

Where it came from on that day

The one I love forever is untrue

And if I could you know that I would

Fly away with you

 

Yeah, if I could

You know that I would

Fly away with you

"Light A Candle" - JJ Grey & Mofro

 

Living in light and love

 

If you say a prayer say one for me

Oh, keep me in your thoughts

Cause I'll say, say one for you

Hold it for the truth

I won't let go at all cost

 

I can't play the blame game any longer

Made me feel stronger just to say that I'm weak

Dark thoughts pile in one upon another

Dark as any other place, place that I've been

 

So light a candle for me

Be the guide that I need when I'm all alone

So light a candle for me

Be the joy I see

I'm on my way back home

 

Living in light and love

 

I'll dream of you and all the things you do

Oh, when I'm gone I'll dream of you

And the truth, oh, the truth

 

Is anybody out there as full of it as me

Does anybody out there feel my guilt

Cause we can start over and over again

Lit by our own light

We're all just candles in the night

 

So light a candle for me

Be the guide that I need when I'm all alone

So light a candle for me

Be the joy I see

I'm on my way back home

(x2)

"The Other Man's Grass (Is Always Greener)"

Petula Clark

 

Life is never what it seems

We're always searching in our dreams

To find that little castle in the air

When worry starts to cloud the mind

It's hard to leave it all behind

And just pretend you haven't got a care

 

There's someone else in your imagination

You wish that you were standing in their shoes

You'd change your life without much hesitation

But would you if you really had to choose

 

So don't look around

Get your feet on the ground

It's much better by far

To be just who you are

 

The other man's grass is always greener

The sun shines brighter on the other side

The other man's grass is always greener

Some are lucky, some are not

But just be thankful for what you've got

 

Many times, it seems to me

There's someone else I'd rather be

Living in a world of make-believe

To stay in bed till nearly three

With nothing there to worry me

Would seem to be the life I might achieve

 

But deep inside I know I'm really lucky

With happiness I've never known before

And just as long as you are there beside me

I know that I could ask for nothing more

 

And living can start

With the love in your heart

So with you all the time

All the treasures I've longed for are mine

 

The other man's grass is always greener

The sun shines brighter on the other side

The other man's grass is always greener

Some are lucky, some are not

But I'm so thankful for what I've got

(x2)

"Tired"

Alan Walker ft. Gavin James

 

 

I see those tears in your eyes

I feel so helpless inside

Oh love, there's no need to hide

Just let me love you when your heart is tired

 

Cold hands, red eyes

Packed two bags at midnight

They've been there for weeks

You don't know what goodbye means

 

Just roll up a cigarette

Just forget about this mess

I'm waiting on the sidelines

From the sidelines

 

[CHORUS:]

I see those tears in your eyes

And I feel so helpless inside

Oh love, there's no need to hide

Just let me love you when your heart is tired

If your ghost pulls you apart

And it feels like you've lost who you are

My love, there's no need to hide

Just let me love you when your heart is tired

Just let me love you

Just let me love you

Just let me love you

Just let me love you

Just let me love you when your heart is tired

 

When you whisper, "I'm alright"

But I see through your white lies

But these walls don’t talk

And if they could, they’d say

 

Can't hide the secrets

You can't forget about this mess

I'm waiting on the sidelines

From the sidelines

 

I see those tears in your eyes

And I feel so helpless inside

Oh love, there's no need to hide

Just let me love you when your heart is tired

If your ghost pulls you apart

And it feels like you've lost who you are

My love, there's no need to hide

Just let me love you when your heart is tired

Just let me love you

Just let me love you

Just let me love you

Just let me love you

Just let me love you when your heart is tired

 

I see those tears in your eyes

And I feel so helpless inside

My love, there's no need to hide

Just let me love you when your heart is tired

"Take a Giant Step"

 

        The Monkees                                Taj Mahal

         

 

Though you played at love and lost

And sorrow's turned your heart to frost

I will mend your heart again

Remember the feeling as a child

When you woke up and morning smiled

It's time it's time it's time you felt like that again

 

There is just no percentage in remembering the past

It's time you learned to live again and love at last

Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind

And take a giant step outside your mind

 

You stare at me with disbelief

You say for you there's no relief

But girl I swear it won't do you no harm

Don't sit there in your lonely room

Just looking back inside at gloom

Mama that's not where you belong

Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green

And everyday everyday hold on woman just got to be seen

Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind

And take a giant step outside your mind

 

Though you played at love and lost

And sorrow's turned your heart to frost

I will mend your heart again

Remember the feeling as a child

When you woke up and morning smiled

It's time it's time it's time you felt like that again

 

There is just no percentage in remembering the past

It's time you learned to live again and love at last

Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind

And take a giant step outside your mind
