"If Nobody Believed in You"

Joe Nichols

 

I watched him take the two strike call

He hadn't tried to swing at all

I guess he had all he could take

He walked away for goodness sake

His father's voice was loud and mean

"You won't amount to anything"

 

That little boy quit trying

He just walked away

There were teardrops on his face

Tell me how would you feel

You'd probably give up too

If nobody believed in you

 

That old man said, "One more try

I know I'm not too old to drive

I promise son, I'll do my best

This time I'm gonna pass the test"

"Give me the keys, Dad, and get in"

His father never drove again

 

That old man quit trying

He just turned away

There were teardrops on his face

Tell me how would you feel

You'd probably give up too

If nobody believed in you

 

We take his name out of schools

The lawyers say it breaks the rules

Pledge of allegiance can't be read

And under God should not be said

I wonder how much he will take

I just pray it's not too late

 

What if God quit trying

He just turned away

There were teardrops on his face

Tell me how would you feel

You'd probably give up too

If nobody believed in you

 

Tell me how would you feel

You'd probably give up too

If nobody believed in you

"Best I Can" - Art Of Dying

 

Tonight I feel like the world won't miss me

So much to say but there's no one listening

If we're alone are we all together in that

 

I threw a penny in a well for wishing

And prayed for all the things I think I'm missing

A little time is all I really need

 

I am doing the best I can with everything I am

Don't you know nobody's perfect

Do you understand how hard I'm trying

To do the best I can

The best I can

 

A second chance to give you something

It takes a lifetime to come from nothing

I refuse to believe in running away

 

I am doing the best I can with everything I am

Don't you know nobody's perfect

Do you understand how hard I'm trying for you

I am doing the best I can with everything I am

Don't you know I think you're worth it

Do you understand how hard I'm trying

To do the best I can

The best I can

 

I got a picture of what matters

And I keep it close to my heart

It's a little faded but so am I

 

Cause I am doing the best I can with everything I am

Don't you know nobody's perfect

Do you understand how hard I'm trying for you

I am doing the best I can with everything I am

Don't you know I think you're worth it

Do you understand how hard I'm trying

To do the best I can

The best I can

The best I can

The best I can

 

And I'm doing, oh, I'm doing the best I can

I am, I'm doing the best, oh, the best I can

Oh, the best I can, oh the best I can

Oh, I keep doing, I keep trying

"Will You Be There"

Michael Jackson

 

Hold me

Like the river Jordan

And I will then say to thee

You are my friend

 

Carry me

Like you are my brother

Love me like a mother

Will you be there

 

Weary

Tell me, will you hold me

When wrong, will you scold me

When lost, will you find me

 

But they told me

A man should be faithful

And walk when not able

And fight till the end

But I'm only human

 

Everyone's taking control of me

Seems that the world's got a role for me

I'm so confused will you show to me

You'll be there for me and care enough to bear me

 

(hold me) - Show me

(lay your head lowly) - Told me

(softly then boldly) - Yeah

(carry me there) - I'm only human

 

(lead me) - Hold me

(love me and feed me) - Yeah, yeah

(kiss me and free me) - Yeah

(I will feel blessed) - I'm only human

 

(carry) - Carry

(carry me boldly) - Carry, yeah

(lift me up slowly) - Yeah

(carry me there) - I'm only human

 

(save me) - Lead me

(heal me and bathe me) - Lift me up, lift me up

(softly you say to me, I will be there) - I will be there

(lift me) - Told me, yeah

(lift me up slowly, carry me boldly) - Yeah

(show me you care) - Show me you care

 

(hold me) - Ooh

(lay your head lowly) - I get lonely sometimes

(softly then boldly) - I get lonely, yeah, yeah

(carry me there) - Will you be there

 

(lead me) - Ooh

(love me and feed me) - Lift me up, lift me up

(kiss me and free me) - Lift me up sometimes, oh, sometimes

(I will feel blessed) - Yeah

 

In my darkest hour, in my deepest despair

Will you still care, will you be there

In my trials and my tribulations

Through our doubts and frustrations

In my violence, in my turbulence

Through my fear and my confessions

In my anguish and my pain

Through my joy and my sorrow

In the promise of another tomorrow

I'll never let you part

For you're always in my heart

"It's My Life" - Paula Cole

https://youtu.be/9zDQ5xi3drw

 

That quiet voice inside of my soul

It's rising up again

Oh, I know it's the time, life is short

Gotta grab the wheel of my life

 

Indecision, should-have, could-haves

Will only rip my joy away

These inner crossroads may define me

And it's the only way

 

Cause it's my life

And I am free

To live my life

The way I feel

 

For all of the people who hear my song

Why not take a chance

By keeping the child alive in our heart

There's truth and meaning there

 

Trust in spirit, truths, direction

I'll never lead my light astray

Listen to my intuition

Gather all of my faith

 

Cause it's my life

And I am free

To live my life

The way I feel

(x2)

 

Deep inside I know I can

Deep inside I am beautiful

Tell myself, "I won't give up"

Hear my intuition

Gather all of my faith

 

Cause it's my life

And I am free

To live my life

The way I feel

(x3)

 

(Deep inside I know I can

Deep inside I am beautiful

Tell myself, "I won't give up"

Tell myself, "Have courage now"

Willingness and openness

Step by step and day by day

Over time a thousand fields

Will have passed beneath my feet)

 

Oh, it's my life

Come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on

Gather up my strength and courage now

Come on, come on, come on

"Wings" - Hurts

https://youtu.be/rr7PhfJDNvI

 

 

When you find me free falling

Out of the sky

And I'm spiraling out of control

 

When I drop like a cannonball

From Cloud Nine

Just promise you won't let me go

 

Say you'll catch me when I fall

Wrap your wings around my body

When I'm lost in the storm

And I'm calling

 

Wrap your wings around my body

Wrap your wings around my body

Wrap your wings, wrap your wings

Wrap your wings around my body

 

When we stood on the skyline

There was no turning back

And you said not to stare at the ground

 

There's a hole in my parachute

As big as your heart

And the gravity's pulling me down

 

Will you catch me when I fall

Wrap your wings around my body

When I'm lost in the storm

And I'm calling

 

Wrap your wings around my body

Wrap your wings around my body

Wrap your wings, wrap your wings

Wrap your wings around my body

 

We're flying above the valley below

We're flying above the valley below

We're flying above the valley below

We're flying above the valley below

 

Wrap your wings around my body

Wrap your wings around my body

Wrap your wings, wrap your wings

Wrap your wings around my body

 

Come on and wrap your wings

Around my broken body

Come on and wrap your wings

Around my broken body

Matchbox Twenty - Real World (Official Video)

 

 

I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker

I wonder what it's like to know that I make the rain

I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone

And you can come see them when I'm...done, when I'm

Done

I wonder what it's like to be a super hero

I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown

From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow

Sun

Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned

 

[chorus]

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here

If I were someone else, would this all fall apart

Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,

I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

 

I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho

I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said

I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man get

me some

Boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone

 

[chorus]

 

Please don't change, please don't break

The only thing that seems to work at all is you

Please don't change, at all from me

To you, and you to me

Bon Jovi - Wild Is The Wind

 

 

I tried to make you happy

You know I tried so hard to be

What you hoped that I would be

I gave you what wanted

God couldn't give you what you need

You wanted more from me

Than I could ever be

You wanted heart and soul

But you didn't know, baby

 

Wild, wild is the wind

That takes me away from you

Cold is the night without your love

To see me through

Wild, wild is the wind

That blows through my heart

 

Wild is the wind,

Wild is the wind

You got to understand, baby

Wild is the wind

 

You need someone to hold you

Somebody to be there night and day

Someone to kiss your fears away

I just went on pretending

Too weak, too proud, too tough to say

I couldn't be the one

To make your dreams come true

That's why I had to run

Though I needed you, baby

 

Wild, wild is the wind

That takes me away from you

Cold is the night without your love

To see me through, baby

Wild, wild is the wind

That blows through my heart tonight

That tears us apart

 

Wild is the wind,

Wild is the wind

You got to understand, baby

Wild is the wind

 

[solo]

 

Maybe a better man

Would live and die for you

Baby, a better man would

Never say goodbye to you

 

Wild, wild is the wind

That takes me away from you

Cold is the night without your love

To see me through, baby

Wild, wild is the wind

That blows through my heart tonight

That tears us apart

 

Wild is the wind,

Wild is the wind

You got to understand, baby

Wild is the wind

Low - Try to sleep

 

 

You try to sleep

Cause there's never enough

You try to sleep

But then you never wake up

Inside the dream

You take a step

You come to see

To see your debt

 

Try to sleep

Don't look at the camera

Try to sleep

 

You stretch your wings

You take a breath

You hide your feet

Embrace your head

A tragedy

No, there's never enough

You try to sleep

But then you never wake up

 

Try to sleep

Don't look at the camera

Try to sleep

” Who Knows Where The Time Goes?”

Eva Cassidy

 

 

 

"Who Knows Where The Time Goes?"

 

Across the evening sky,all the birds are leaving

Oh but then you know, it was time for them to go

By the winter fire, I will still be dreaming

I do not count the time

for who knows where the time goes?

Who knows where the time goes?

Sad,deserted shore

your fickle friends are leaving

oh, but then you know it was time for them to go

But I will still be here

I have no thought of leaving

I do not count the time

for who knows where the time goes?

I know I'm not alone

while my love is near me

I know that its so until its time to go

All the storms in Winter and the birds in Spring again

I do not count the time

For who knows where the time goes?

who knows where the time goes?

who knows where the time goes?

” I Can Only Be Me”

Eva Cassidy

 

 

 

"I Can Only Be Me"

 

Butterflies begin

From having been another

As a child is born, from being in a mother's womb

But how many times have you wished you were some other

than someone who you really are

Yeah who's to say that if all were uncovered

You will like what you see

You can only be you

Cause I can only be me

 

Flowers cannot bloom

Until it is their season

As we would not be there

Unless it was our destiny

But how many times have you wished to be in spaces

Time places than what you were

Yeah who's to say that unfamiliar places

You could anymore be loving you that you see

You can only be you

Cause I can only be me

” Imagine”

Eva Cassidy

 

 

 

"Imagine"

 

 

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today... Aha-ah...

 

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion, too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace... You...

 

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

 

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world... You...

 

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one

” Over The Rainbow”

Eva Cassidy

 

 

 

"Over The Rainbow"

 

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high

There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

 

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far

Behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me

 

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow.

Why then, oh, why can't I?

 

If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow.

Why, oh, why can't I?

”You Take My Breath Away”

Eva Cassidy

 

 

"You Take My Breath Away"

 

Sometimes it amazes me

How strong the power of love can be

Sometimes you just take my breath away

 

You watch my love grow like a child

Sometimes gentle and sometimes wild

Sometimes you just take my breath away

 

And it's too good to slip by

Too good to lose

Too good to be there

Just to use

I'm gonna stand on a mountain top

And tell the news

That you take my breath away

 

Sometimes it amazes me

How strong the power of love can be

Sometimes you just take my breath away

 

Your beauty is there in all I see

And when I feel your eyes on me

Oh don't you know you just take my breath away

 

And it's too good to slip by

Too good to lose

Too good to be there

Just to use

I'm gonna stand on a mountain top

And tell the news

That you take my breath away

 

And it's too good to slip by

Too good to lose

Too good to be there

Just to use

I'm gonna stand on a mountain top

And tell the news

That you take my breath away

The Pretenders - Hymn To Her

 

 

Let me inside you

Into your room

I've heard it's lined

With the things you don't show

Lay me beside you

Down on the floor

I've been your lover

From the womb to the tomb

I dress as your daughter

When the moon becomes round

You be my mother

When everything's gone

 

And she will always carry on

Something is lost

But something is found

They will keep on speaking her name

Somethings change

Some stay the same

 

Keep beckoning to me

From behind that closed door

The maid and the mother

And the crone that's grown old

 

I hear your voice

Coming out of that hole

I listen to you

And I want some more

I listen to you

And I want some more

 

And she will always carry on

Something is lost

But something is found

They will keep on speaking her name

Some things change

Some stay the same

I'm the man in the box

Buried in my pit

Won't you come and save me?

Save me

 

[Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell]

Feed my eyes

(Can you sew them shut?)

Jesus Christ

(Deny your maker)

He who tries

(Will be wasted)

Feed my eyes

(Now you've sewn them) shut

I'm the dog who gets beat

Shove my nose in spit

Won't you come and save me?

U2 - Running to stand still

 

 

And so she woke up

Woke up from where she was lyin' still.

Said I gotta do something

About where we're goin'.

 

Step on a fast train

Step out of the driving rain, maybe

Run from the darkness in the night.

Singing ah, ah la la la de day

Ah la la la de day.

 

Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth.

I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.

You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking

Scream without raising your voice.

You know I took the poison, from the poison stream

Then I floated out of here, singing

Ah la la la de day

Ah la la la de day.

 

She walks through the streets

With her eyes painted red

Under black belly of cloud in the rain.

In through a doorway

She brings me white golden pearls

Stolen from the sea.

 

She is ragin'

She is ragin'

And the storm blows up in her eyes.

She will suffer the needle chill

She's running to stand still.

LLOYD COLE - Unhappy Song (with Lloyd talking at the end and doing his Tom Waits bit)

 

 

They were married in june

She was gone before the leaves were even turning

She said "well, I knew he was a fool, but I

Somehow thought my welfare concerned him"

Must the one always have to change

Whilst the other must always remain

Must the cards all be dealt facing down?

Turn away, turn away, turn your blue skies to grey

 

Now, when it comes to september

I've got my own unhappy song

October, nowember, december,

And still she is gone;

Unhappy song

 

He was torn between the romance and the mundane

He was torn every morning

He was surprised or was he horrified to find

The mundane the more rewarding

She was upon him before he even knew it

 

And anyone who had a hat would surely know:

It only rains when you leave it at home,

And all the umbrellas are broke,

Oh, save yourself a fiver, you're already soaking

 

Come on, september

And sing me that old unhappy song

October, nowember, december,

And still she is gone;

Unhappy song

 

Well, there was ice beneath the snow

And everywhere else was closed,

But the locks had been changed

Sure, the neighbours were the same, they said

"you never should treat someone so bad"

"District of Broken Hope" - Ravenscode

 

I wake up every day

Hoping it's not the same

The same as yesterday

Has anything changed

 

We follow all the rules

We put up with stupid fools

When the day comes to an end

And tomorrow we'll do it again

 

[CHORUS:]

When every day I wonder

Just why I chose to stay

When life is just so pointless

It gets worse here every day

And every night I leave

This place I've never known

This place I've come to call

The district of broken hope

 

It feels so safe in here

Away from all this fear

Where I can lay my head

And reflect on what I've said

 

I stare up at the dark

I'm hoping to embark

To a place where we chose to pray

So we won't have to stay

 

[CHORUS]

 

I sit here in my home

I'm in here all alone

Away from society

With broken memories

 

It's hard to understand

When you don't have a helping hand

Only broken shards of glass

When my world collapse

 

When every day I wonder

Just why I chose to stay

When life is just so pointless

It gets worse here every day

And every night I leave

This place I've never known

This place I've come to call

The district of broken hope

"Raven In The Storm"

 

Mary Black

 

John Gorka

 

I'm the latest apparition

Cutting slices in the night

I come through without permission

Moving in and out of human sight

 

I'm the tapping on your shoulder

I am the raving in the storm

I'll take shelter in you rafters

I'm the shiver when you're warm

 

I'm the gold in California

I am the well in Mexico

Like the vultures in the valley

I will wait for you to go

 

I'm the gypsy in your pocket

I am the horseman in your dreams

I'm the reason dogs are barking

I am the hand that stops the scream

 

I am the baby's cry that isn't

I am the distant relative

I'm the scratching in the ceiling

I am advice you shouldn't give

 

I'm the ghost of a traveling salesman

My foot will be there in your door

Though I can walk through walls and windows

I will knock just like before

 

I am the darkness in your daughter

I am the spot beneath the skin

I am the scarlet on the pavement

I am the broken heart within

 

I won't take a train to nowhere

I will not touch just anyone

Ask a stranger why I'm waiting

In the chamber of a gun

"Survive" - Jeff Carl

 

I’ve been all broken, sad of myself

Outwardly Heaven but inwardly Hell

Asking for open but answering shells

I am weak, I am weak

 

Yesterday’s long gone, tomorrow’s too late

Today is my swan song if I do not take

Control of my demons, they all have my face

I am weak, I am weak

 

But I wanna change my mind

I think that it is time

How can I survive

If I’m not alive

 

I smoked with the notion that I could escape

Got lost on the ocean of all that I drank

Life in slow motion so I didn’t have to think

I am weak, I am weak

 

Been looking for loving but all I’ve done is pour

All of myself into holes in the floor

I got in the boat but I didn’t have the oars

I am weak, I am weak

 

But I wanna change my mind

I think that it is time

How can I survive

If I’m not alive

 

Oh these years have had costs that I can’t afford to pay

Gotta swallow the loss and try better today

Friends who I’ve wronged with my silencing ways

Love that has gone cause I turned it to waste

Parents who’ve longed for their son to find peace

Skies with no sun and no color, just gray

 

I wanna change my mind

I think that it is time

I wanna survive

I am alive
