"Talking to Myself" - Mountains of The Moon

 

Waved goodbye to the evening glow

In the fall’s first fall of snow

There are brighter times ahead you know

Just gotta get through the off-black winter

In this god-forgotten hole

 

The streets outside hold a silent war

Everybody knows, but not what for

We are prisoners to our thoughts

Shackled up within invisible walls

 

I forgot the ringtone on my phone

And most the days I just stay home

This city eats me to the bone

I guess it’s me who make it so

 

Why am I talking to myself

I’m not making any sense

Where is everybody else

Was that all

Is this it

"Waiting For A Miracle" - Bruce Cockburn

 

Look at them working in the hot sun

The pilloried saints and the fallen ones

Working and waiting for the night to come

And waiting for a, and waiting for a

And waiting for a miracle

 

Somewhere out there is a place that's cool

Where peace and balance are the rule

Working toward a future like some kind of mystic jewel

And waiting for a, and waiting for a

And waiting for a miracle

 

You rub your palm on the grimy pane

In the hope that you can see

You stand up proud you pretend you're strong

In the hope that you can be

 

Like the ones who've cried

Like the ones who've died

Trying to set the angel in us free

While they're waiting for a, while they're waiting for a

While they're waiting for a miracle

 

Struggle for a dollar, scuffle for a dime

Step out from the past and try to hold the line

So how come history takes such a long, long time

When you're waiting for a, when you're waiting for a

When you're waiting for a miracle

 

You rub your palm on the grimy pane

In the hope that you can see

You stand up proud you pretend you're strong

In the hope that you can be

 

Like the ones who've cried

Like the ones who've died

Trying to set the angel in us free

While they're waiting for a, while they're waiting for a

While they're waiting for a miracle

 

While they're waiting for a, while they're waiting for a

While they're waiting for a miracle

While they're waiting for a, while they're waiting for a

While they're waiting for a miracle

"Home" - Stephanie Mills

 

When I think of home I think of a resting place

A place where there's peace, quiet, and serenity

And that's where some of my friends have gone

Friends who have traveled with me

Through my wonderful experience in Oz

A journey I'll never forget

 

When I think of home

I think of a place where's there's love overflowing

I wish I was home, I wish I was back there

With the things I've been knowing

 

Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning

Suddenly the raindrops that fall

They have a meaning

Sprinkling the scene makes it all clean

 

Maybe there's a chance for me to go back

Now that I have some direction

It sure would be nice to be back at home

Where there's love and affection

 

And just maybe I can convince time to slow up

Giving me enough time, ooh, in my life to grow up

Time be my friend

And let me start again

 

Suddenly my world's gone and change its fate

And I still know where I'm going

I have had my mind spun around in space

And watched it growing

And oh, if you're listening, Gd, please don't make it hard

To know if we should believe the things that we see

Tell us should we try and stay

Or should we run away

Or will it be better just to let things, let them be

 

Oh, living here in this brand new world

Might be a fantasy

But it's taught me to love, oh yeah

So it's real, its so real, its real to me

 

And I've learned that we must look

Inside our hearts to find

A world full of love

Like yours, like mine

Like home

Like, like home

 

My friends smiling down on me

Giving me their energy, oh

I think of a peaceful world

And joy all around me, yeah

And love that we share

Can never, never, ever be taken away from me

Yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Oh, I just sit down and think

And gets on down in my bones, yeah

I can hear my friends telling me

Stephanie, please sing my song

I want to sing, I want to shout

I want to tell you what its all about

"Cannonball" - Lea Michele

 

Breakdown

Breakdown

Breakdown

 

I was scared to death

I was losing my mind

Breakdown

I couldn’t close my eyes

I was pacing all night

 

But now I think I found the light

At the end of the tunnel

I couldn’t find the truth

I was going under

 

But I won’t hide inside

I gotta get out, gotta get out

Gotta get out, gotta get out

Lonely inside and light the fuse

Light it now, light it now, light it now

 

[CHORUS:]

And now I will start living

Today, today, today

I close the door

I've got this new beginning

And I will fly, I’ll fly like a cannonball

Like a cannonball, like a cannonball

I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly

Like a cannonball

 

Freedom

I let go of fear

And the peace came quickly

Freedom

I was in the dark

And then it hit me

 

I chose suffering and pain

I lived for the rain

I know I gotta get out into the world again

 

But I won’t hide inside

I gotta get out, gotta get out

Gotta get out, gotta get out

Lonely inside and light the fuse

Light it now, light it now, light it now

 

[CHORUS]

 

Breakdown

I was scared to death

I was losing my mind

Breakdown

I gotta get out into the world again

 

And now I will start living

Today, today, today

I close the door

I've got this new beginning

And I will fly, I’ll fly like a cannonball

Like a cannonball, like a cannonball

I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly

Like a cannonball

 

I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly

Like a cannonball

"Motherland" - Heather Nova

 

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

 

If I could keep you

Underneath my wing

The sky above you

Safe from everything

Under, under my wing

 

To watch you breathing

Is all that I can do

To see you smile

My only wish come true

I'm living, living for you

 

[CHORUS:]

The waves roll in

I help you swim

You take my hand

And through the years

And through the fears

I'll be your rock

The motherland

 

The bond is written

The animal in me

I'd lay my life down

I'd give it happily

I'd give it, I'd give it for you

 

[CHORUS]

 

If I could keep you

Underneath my wing

The sky above you

Safe from everything

Under, under my wing

 

The waves roll in

I help you swim

You take my hand

And through the years

And through the fears

I'll be your rock

The motherland

The motherland

"Take Another Turn" - Sarah Jarosz

 

What does it mean to be lost

You can’t find your way on the map

You took the wrong turn

Forgot where you came from

And now there ain’t no going back

 

What does it mean to be lonely

You're sitting alone in a room

And all you can hear

Is the ringing in your ears

There ain’t no one to talk to but you

 

Should you take another turn

Can you find another way

Should you talk to yourself a little more

Push right through that closed door

 

What does it mean to be sorry

For something that can’t be undone

So sorry that you didn’t try and try

But sorry just ain’t quite enough

 

Oh what does it mean to be hungry

Hungry and hunting and wild

And only the best will allow you to rest

You’ll be hungry again by morning time

 

Should you take another turn

Can you find another way

Should you talk to yourself a little more

Push right through that closed door

 

Oh what does it mean to be lost

You can’t find your way on the map

You took the wrong turn

Forgot where you came from

And now there ain’t no going back

"God Bless This Mess"

Jillian Jacqueline

 

Here's to the brokens

The misfits and wannabes

The part of you that's just like me

The wallflowers and the holier than thous

 

To the diamonds

That are never gonna leave the rough

The rolling stones that are always stuck

The all nighte's and the lost I've never found

 

[CHORUS]

God bless this mess

If this is as good as it's gonna get

I'm gonna hold you

Like I know it's gonna be okay again

I got a hurricane in my heart

Keeps on rattling the good apart

And honestly, I'm just an honest wreck

But I'm trying my best

God bless this mess

Oh, God bless this mess

 

Here's to the waiting

All the waiting that we have to do

The dreams we make that never come true

And all the hurting that comes without warning

 

Here's to the view

From the tile of the bathroom floor

Ain't we all been there before

And the hell bent sun

That's gonna come up the next morning

 

[CHORUS]

 

Most the time I forget to pray

But when I close my eyes, I just say

God bless this mess

If this is as good as it's gonna get

 

God bless this mess

If this is as good as it's gonna get

I'm gonna hold you

Like I know it's gonna be okay again

I got a hurricane in my heart

Keeps on rattling the good apart

And honestly, I'm just an honest wreck

But I'm trying my best

God bless this mess

Oh, God bless this mess

"Sunbird"

William Henries and Michael Holborn

 

Some years ago I lived a hard life

But sunlight burst a ray through those clouds

We'd finally seen the back of those grey days

Please let the summer back to stay

 

And hold the sunbird in your hands

Don't let him sing too sweet

For too soon the summer sun

Will be in a winter sleep

(x2)

 

You found yourself on the road

Inside your winter coat

But leave your troubles behind now

 

You wrap yourself in a ball

Then hide away from it all

But let the sunbird in your heart

 

And hold the sunbird in your hands

Don't let him sing too sweet

For too soon the summer sun

Will be in a winter sleep

(x3)

"Fearless" - Pink Floyd

 

You say the hill's too steep to climb

Chiding

You say you'd like to see me try

Climbing

 

You pick the place and I'll choose the time

And I'll climb the hill in my own way

Just wait a while for the right day

 

And as I rise above

The treeline and the clouds

I look down, hear the sound

Of the things you said today

 

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd

Smiling

Merciless the magistrate turns around

Frowning

 

And who's the fool who wears the crown

Go down in your own way

And every day is the right day

 

And as you rise above

The fear-lines in his brow

You look down, hear the sound

Of the faces in the crowd

 

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

"Changing Tides" - The Fray

 

 

When the rain came

It washed us out to sea

I'm holding what I love

And she's holding on to me

 

It's no surprise

It brought me to my knees

You're never really ready

You're ready as can be

 

The sun was coming up

We were sifting through the sand

Looking for the pieces

Of our broken plans

 

It's gonna take a while

We're gonna get it back

We gotta carry on, Darling

We were built to last

 

Changing tides

Baby, that's the hardest part of life

Hold me tight

And we will move as one in the changing tides

 

There's no doubt

The beauty that we see

Following the path

So much older than we

 

Lovers built it with their hands

Walked it with their feet

Above the raging waters

And the darkness underneath

 

Changing tides

Baby, that's the hardest part of life

Hold me tight

And we will move as one in the changing tides

And we will move as one in the changing tides

 

When the rain came

It washed us out to sea

I'm holding what I love

And she's holding on to me

 

It's gonna take a while

It's gonna come back

We gotta carry on, Darling

We were built to last

 

Changing tides

Baby, that's the hardest part of life

Hold me tight

And we will move as one in the changing tides

Changing tides

And we will move as one in the changing tides

And we will move as one in the changing tides

"Not Really Alright" - Jason Reeves

https://youtu.be/zruk34Yftrw

 

You would barely recognize me

If I really let you in

There's an emptiness inside me

That swallows everything

In the space beneath my skin

 

I'm a storm without a rainbow

I'm a picture with no frame

I can tell myself to let go

And push it all away

But my prison is my pain

 

No, I'm not really alright

I know I told you that I am

But it was just a lie

No, I'm not really alright

The heaviness I'm holding

Is getting hard to justify

 

No, I'm not really alright

No, I'm not really alright

So why do I say I am

Why do I say I am

 

I'm afraid to talk to strangers

They can see through my disguise

Even family, friends, and neighbors

That I have known for years

Have begun to recognize

 

No, I'm not really alright

I know I told you that I am

But it was just a lie

No, I'm not really alright

The heaviness I'm holding

Is getting hard to justify

 

No, I'm not really alright

No, I'm not really alright

So why do I say I am

Why do I say I am

 

Why do I say I am

Why do I say I am

"I Wish I Was the Moon" - Neko Case

https://youtu.be/zDJr-gijrPc

 

Chimney falls and lovers blaze

I thought that I was young

Now I have freezing hands and bloodless veins

As numb as I've become

I'm so tired

I wish I was the moon tonight

 

Last night I dreamed

I'd forgotten my name

Cause I sold my soul

But I woke just the same

I'm so lonely

I wish I was the moon tonight

 

Gd bless me I'm a free man

With no place free to go

Paralyzed and collar tight

No pills for what I fear

This is crazy

I wish I was the moon tonight

 

Chimney falls and lovers blaze

I thought that I was young

Now I have freezing hands and bloodless veins

As numb as I've become

I'm so tired

I wish I was the moon tonight

 

How will you know

If you've found me at last

Cause I'll be the one, be the one

Be the one with my heart in my lap

I'm so tired, I'm so tired

And I wish I was the moon tonight

 

I'm so tired, I'm so tired

And I wish I was the moon

I'm so tired, I'm so tired

And I wish I was the moon tonight

"Runaway Train" - Bob Seger

 

Sometimes I stumble, sometimes I fall

The angels of my nature won't accept the last call

I stop thinking, I just react

Before I know it everything turns black

 

I'm on a highway doing 90 utterly juiced

Out of control and impossibly loose

I'm comprehending without a clue

I don't know where I'm going

I don't know what I'm gonna do

 

[CHORUS:]

I'm like a runaway train

Screaming through the back tent

Roaring through the rain

Like a runaway train

 

Maybe it's a full moon, baby, high-end tide

The fear of dying young, it makes me take that ride

I start up slowly building up steam

Before I know it all is illusion, it's like I'm in a dream

 

No man, no reason, nothing makes sense

No future, no past, only present tense

I'm out there floating completely alone

In a universe of chaos indifferent as a stone

 

Like a runaway train

Racing through the void

Roaring through the rain

Like a runaway train

 

I can't explain the unexplainable

Where's the electron gonna be next

Do we really die for love and glory

Or only for wealth and sex

 

Is there a reason why I'm on this road

Is it random or ordained

Is everyone in the world dead today

Am I the only that's saved

 

We approach the speed of light

We approach infinite mass

We can't cross over

All the future becomes the past

 

It's nice to know those limits

Nice to know those walls

But when you're on a bender

You don't care about that at all

 

There's only moving forward, picking up speed

Moving feels like freedom, sometimes that's all you need

There's the wind in your hair, the cold on your brow

Nothing else matters, you're alive right now

 

Like a runaway train

Raging through the dark night

Roaring against the grain

Like a runaway train

 

Oh, runaway train

Oh, like a train

Runaway train

Runaway train

Runaway train

Runaway train

"Growing Wings" - Lara Fabian

 

Have you ever faced an ocean

Though you hadn't any notion

How to swim

But you jumped in anyway

 

Have you ever kissed a lover

Knowing that his heart was broken

And damaged

But you held him anyway

 

[CHORUS:]

Leap of faith

Growing wings

On the way down

Before you hit the ground

(x2)

 

Have you wandered in the desert

While the sands were ever changing

But the winds

Guide you anyway

 

Have you spoken in a language

That you've never heard before

But your memory

Understands it anyway

 

[CHORUS]

 

I'm growing wings now

I'm growing wings now

 

Leap of faith

Growing wings

On the way down

Before you hit the ground

(x4)

"Who Loves You"

Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons

 

 

[CHORUS:]

Who loves you, pretty baby

Who's gonna help you through the night

Who loves you, pretty mama

Who's always there to make it right

Who loves you

 

Who loves you, pretty baby

Who's gonna love you, mama

Who loves you, pretty baby

 

When tears are in your eyes

And you can't find the way

It's hard to make believe

You're happy when you're gray

 

Baby when you're feeling like

You'll never see the morning light

Come to me, Baby, you'll see

 

[CHORUS]

 

And when you think

The whole wide world has passed you by

You keep on trying

But you really don't know why

 

Baby, when you need a smile

To help those shadows drift away

Come to me, Baby, you'll see

 

[CHORUS]

 

Come to me, Baby, you'll see

 

Who loves you pretty baby

Who's gonna help you through the night

Who loves you pretty mama

Who's always there to make it

 

Who loves you

Who's gonna love you, love you

"Birds Of Prey" - Christina Aguilera

 

Suddenly lost inside a fantasy

Everything not quite what it seems to be

Slipping and falling through the looking glass

Catching a glimpse at all that lies behind the masks

 

You disappear with the dawn

You only see what you want

 

When you’re out with the birds of prey

When you’re out with the birds of prey

 

They watch and they feed

They take what they need

They bite as you bleed

The birds of prey

 

Taking the blue pill only made you cry

And all that the red pill did was make you forget why

There is no right, there's no wrong

You only see what you want

 

When you’re out with the birds of prey

 

They watch and they feed

They take what they need

They bite as you bleed

The birds of prey

(x4)

 

You disappear with the dawn

You only see what you want

There is no right, there’s no wrong

You only see what you want

 

When you’re out with the birds of prey

When you’re out with the birds of prey

When you’re out with the birds of prey

When you’re out with the birds of prey

When you’re out with the birds of prey

"The Sun Is Going Down"

The Steve Miller Band

Sitting in a bar in San Francisco

Got no place to go

Sun is going down, man

Sun is going down

 

Sitting in the bar out at the airport

Trying to flag a plane

Plane she won't fly

Plane she won't fly

 

I've been traveling such a long, long time

Out here on this road

I've been living such a lonely life

Trying to get back home

Living a lonely life

Trying to get back home

 

I've been living such a lonely life

Out here on this road

I've been living such a lonely life

Trying to find a home

Trying to find a home

The sun is going down

"Why Can't I Change" - Passenger

 

Why can't I change after all these years

Why can't I change my ways

I find it so strange after all these years

I'm still more or less the same

 

Wherever I go, whatever I do, whatever I know

It just comes and goes so soon

Whatever life brings, whatever song it sings

I'm still whistling the same old tune

 

Why can't I change after all these years

Why can't I change my ways

I find it so strange after all these years

I'm still more or less the same

 

Whoever I'm with, whatever I take, whatever I give

I'm still running in the same old race

Whatever choice I make, whatever road I take

But I still wind up in the same old place

 

So why, why can't I change

After all these years

Why can't I change my ways

Oh, I find it so strange that after all these years

I'm still more or less the same

 

I'm more or less the same

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

I'm more or less the same

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

"Dare You To Move" - Switchfoot

 

Welcome to the planet

Welcome to existence

Everyone's here

Everyone's here

 

Everybody's watching you now

Everybody waits for you now

What happens next

What happens next

 

[CHORUS:]

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

Like today never happened

Today never happened

Today never happened

 

Welcome to the fallout

Welcome to resistance

The tension is here

The tension is here

 

Between who you are

And who you could be

Between how it is

And how it should be

 

[CHORUS]

 

Maybe redemption has stories to tell

Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell

Where can you run to escape from yourself

Where you gonna go

Where you gonna go

Salvation is here

 

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

Like today never happened

Today never happened

Today never happened

Today never happened before

"The Twelfth of Never"

 

Olivia Newton-John                         Donny Osmond                                    Johnny Mathis

https://youtu.be/8obpnWJ9hLU          https://youtu.be/YZCepTGsGcw         

 

 

You ask how much I need you

Must I explain

I need you, oh my darling

Like roses need rain

 

You ask how long I'll love you

I'll tell you true

Until the twelfth of never

I'll still be loving you

 

Hold me close

Never let me go

Hold me close

Melt my heart like April snow

 

I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom

I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume

I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme

Until the twelfth of never

And that's a long, long time

 

Hold me close

Never let me go

Hold me close

Melt my heart like April snow

 

I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom

I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume

I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme

Until the twelfth of never

And that's a long, long time

 

Until the twelfth of never

And that's a long, long time
