"Born to Win" - Five for Fighting

 

So here we are

The future's now

The time - your time - has come

The stage is set

The lines are drawn

Today you shine, my son

 

Earth is shaking

Don't be scared

 

You were born to walk

So that you could run

You were born to fall

So that you could stand up strong

Sometimes you gotta bleed

So you can feel your skin

You were born to win

 

You're not alone

We've been here before

On giant shoulders

Tall you stand

All is that you need

All is that you have

When you fit right in my hand

 

The world is waiting

All is there

 

You were born to walk

So that you could run

You were born to break

So that you could come back strong

The only way to start

Is for you to begin

You were born to win

 

You were born to win

You were born to win

You were born to win

 

Here we lay

Here we stand

You, my love, will never end

Take your heart in your hand

Come will the day you'll understand

Here we lay

Here we stand

You, my love, will never end

 

You were born to fly

You were made with wings

You were born to cry

So that you could learn to breathe

Always be the man

And the child within

You were born to win

 

You were born to win

You were born to win

You were born to win

(x3)

"For Forever" - Ben Platt

 

 

End of May or early June

This picture-perfect afternoon we share

Drive the winding country road

Grab a scoop at À La Mode

 

And then we're there

An open field that's framed with trees

We pick a spot and shoot the breeze

Like buddies do

 

Quoting songs by our favorite bands

Telling jokes no one understands

Except us two

And we talk and take in the view

 

All we see is sky for forever

We let the world pass by for forever

Feels like we could go on for forever this way

Two friends on a perfect day

 

We walk a while and talk about

The things we'll do when we get out of school

Like bike the Appalachian trail

Or write a book or learn to sail

Wouldn't that be cool

 

There's nothing that we can't discuss

Like girls we wish would notice us but never do

He looks around and says to me

"There's nowhere else I'd rather be"

And I say, "Me too"

 

And we talk and take in the view

We just talk and take in the view

 

All we see is sky for forever

We let the world pass by for forever

Feels like we could go on for forever this way

This way

 

All we see is light for forever

Cause the sun shines bright for forever

Like we'll be alright for forever this way

Two friends on a perfect day

 

And there he goes

Racing toward the tallest tree

From far across the yellow field I hear him calling

"Follow me"

 

There we go

Wondering how the world might look from up so high

One foot after the other

One branch then to another

I climb higher and higher

I climb till the entire sun shines on my face

 

And I suddenly feel the branch give way

I'm on the ground

My arm goes numb

I look around

And I see him come to get me

He's come to get me

And everything's okay

 

All we see is sky for forever

We let the world pass by for forever

Buddy, you and I for forever this way

This way

 

All we see is light

Cause the sun burns bright

We could be alright for forever this way

 

Two friends

True friends

On a perfect day

"Unworthy"

Vancouver Sleep Clinic

 

You are so worthy of everything

I have to give

But I burn with feeble offerings

 

Nothing to sustain

Fan against the flame

Oh what I've made

 

So take all of me

Please take all of me

 

It's like I'm running away from me

It's like I've taken the puzzle in me

And left it scrambled for all to see

 

It's like I'm fighting behind these walls

And hiding through metaphors

This is real, these are flaws

 

So take all of me

Please take all of me

 

So take all of me

Please take all of me

Mocking Bird - Tom Waits

 

Mockingbird high in a tree

Looks like you got the best of me

Mockingbird singing his song

Well, the mockingbird is mocking me

Now that you're gone

 

Mockingbird high and aloof

Well, he's blowing notes on top of my roof

Well, the mockingbird singing his song

Well, the mockingbird is mocking me

Now that you're gone

 

Well, mockingbird high in a tree

Looking up at you looking down at me

And the mockingbird high and aloof

Blowing notes on top of my roof

 

Mockingbird high in a tree

Looking up at you you're looking down at me

Well, the mockingbird singing his song

Well, the mockingbird is mocking me

Now that you're gone

 

Throwed some pebbles

Tried to scare him away

Just looked down at me

And this is what he say

 

And mockingbird high in a tree

Looks like you got the best of me

Mockingbird singing his song

Well, the mockingbird is mocking me

Now that you're gone

"I'm Not Ashamed to Sing the Blues"

Diane Schuur

 

Some people say

That the songs I sing are blue

And maybe what they say

What they say just might be true

 

But let me tell you

This is the way I really feel

And everything I do

It's not fake, its really real

 

And I'm not ashamed to sing the blues

Oh, I'm not ashamed to sing the blues

 

Some people say

That the blues are really dumb

They just don't know

They don't know where I'm coming from

 

And I just wanna tell you

It's the way I feel inside

Cause love and happiness

Will put tears in your eyes

 

And I'm not ashamed to sing the blues

No, I'm not ashamed to sing the blues

 

And I'm not ashamed to sing the blues

No, I'm not ashamed to sing the blues

 

Some people say

That my songs are just too sad

I don't think so

When I think about the fun I've had

 

Living and loving

Faming and achieving

The laughing and crying

Even and the grieving

 

And I'm not ashamed to sing the blues

Gonna say it again

I'm not ashamed to sing the blues

No, no, no, no

No, not me

"Arrows"

Crosby, Stills & Nash

Arrows turned inward are good for the soul

I have a thing about arrows

And diamonds and coal

Pressure turning carbon to jewels

 

Slowly they aim at my iron mark

Flaming healing arrows

They beat at my heart

Angels turning metal to tools

 

I don't care what you think has got you down

You can turn it around

I don't care what you think

Turn it around, turn it around

Turn it around

 

The times that I knew I could never get through

That's when I grew up the most

And alone sounds so sad

But alone I found the best friend I had

 

I don't care what you think has got you down

You can turn it around

I don't care what you think

Turn it around, turn it around

Turn it around

 

Arrows turned inward are good for the soul

Piercing through every callus

They always get through

My target is a heart no-one fools

 

Turn it around

Turn it around

Turn it around

"I Think of You" - Renaissance

 

 

I love you like a stream

Flows restless to the sea

See you like the mist touches clouds

Touches me

See you in the stars

Wherever you may be

I think of you

Think of you

 

Whenever you're near

And have some time to spend

I love you every way

Love you like a friend

And then when you leave

I whisper in my mind

I think of you

Think of you

 

When I see a bird

Fly over to the sea

And the sun in the sky

Is shining warm and free

And when I feel the wind

Blow cool over me

I think of you

Think of you

"When it Rains" - Kid Rock

 

Like a deer in headlights

I stood frozen in my tracks

In the weight of the news

It nearly broke my back

 

It was late September

That I remember, oh, so well

Put a rose in the bible

And placed it upon my shelf

 

And now when it rains, it pours

I wish I didn't know now

The things I never knew before

And now when it rains, it pours

I wish I didn't know now

The things I never knew before

 

Back then when we were seventeen

Time was on our side

Holes in our jeans

A pocket full of dreams

The future was Friday night

 

And we would hang out

Down by the river bed

Singing our favorite songs

Laughing and drinking

Smoking and smiling

Now those days are gone

 

When it rains, it pours

I wish I didn't know now

The things I never knew before

And now when it rains, it pours

I wish I didn't know now

The things I now know for sure

 

Like a deer in headlights

I stood frozen in my tracks

And the weight of you not here

Nearly broke my back

 

And my tears they fell like a monsoon

Underneath the cold fall moon

And somehow God put his hands

On your shoulders

Way too, way too soon

 

When it rains, it pours

I wish I didn't know now

The things I never knew before

And now when it rains, it pours

I wish I didn't know now

No, I didn't know now

What I knew before

 

When it rains, oh, it pours

I wish I didn't know now

No, didn't know now

What I knew before

"Too Far Away"

Gregory Alan Isakov

 

Hey, how have you been

Since you let in

The clouds through your window

As it rained

 

The last time we spoke

You were glued to the telescope

And I heard you say it was too far away

Was it too far away

 

Me, I’ve been fine

I work most of the time

Digging for secrets

Deep in the ground

 

A few days ago

They called for that big storm

And I thought that I would never get warm

Did you ever get warm

 

All inside the rain

We carry what we’re able

Among the sewer rats and angels

And all of us in between

 

Before I go

I’ll leave you with this poem

About the galvanized moon

And her rings in the rain

"White Bird" - KT Tunstall

 

White bird with a black tail

Eyes dark and face so pale

You know what your future holds

Over your side of the road

 

White bird with a black tail

You look like an open sail

Made me look up from my shoes

To show me what you stand to lose

 

White bird, white bird

With your face so pale

White bird, white bird

Where did you get that tail

White bird, white bird

With a black tail

 

White feathers dipped in tar

It's hard to tell how old you are

Wondering how much you know

About all of us below

 

Half of you is heavenly

Showing off your purity

The rest of you is from the street

Like a line where they both meet

 

White bird, white bird

With your face so pale

White bird, white bird

Where did you get that tail

White bird, white bird

With your face so pale

White bird, white bird

With a black tail

"Wish Upon a Star"

Steve Miller Band

 

Close your eyes

Rest your head

Let your spirits rise

Sleepyhead

 

Rest your mind

It's been well fed

You can be

What you want to

 

And it doesn't matter who you are

It doesn't matter where you are

If you wish upon a star

If you wish upon a star

[x2]

 

Close your eyes

Say goodnight

Hug your lover

Real tight

 

Let your dreams

Into your heart

Let your dreams

Take flight

 

And it doesn't matter who you are

It doesn't matter where you are

If you wish upon a star

If you wish upon a star

"Run"

 

Snow Patrol                                        Leona Lewis

https://youtu.be/AOBs8dU4Pb8           

 

 

I'll sing it one last time for you

Then we really have to go

You've been the only thing that's right

In all I've done

 

And I can barely look at you

But every single time I do

I know we'll make it anywhere

Away from here

 

Light up, light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you cannot hear my voice

I'll be right beside you, dear

 

Louder, louder

And we'll run for our lives

I can hardly speak I understand

Why you can't raise your voice to say

 

To think I might not see those eyes

Makes it so hard not to cry

And as we say our long goodbyes

I nearly do

 

Light up, light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you cannot hear my voice

I'll be right beside you, dear

 

Have heart, my dear

We're bound to be afraid

Even if it's just for a few days

Making up for all this mess

 

Light up, light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you cannot hear my voice

I'll be right beside you, dear

The Merry Marvel Marching Society Song

 

 

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070508151103/marveldatabase/images/b/bb/MMMS-Thing.JPG

 

Stand a little straighter

Walk a little prouder

Be an innovator

Clap a little louder

Grow forever greater

We can show you how to

 

Where will you be then...?

 

You belong, you belong, you belong, you belong

To the Merry Marvel Marching Society

March along, march along, march along to the song

Of the Merry Marvel Marching Society

 

If you growl, if you groan, with a dour sour outlook

If you howl, if you moan, you can lose your sour grout

By keeping trim and in step with the vim and the pep

Of the Merry Marvel Marching Society

 

Be an early riser

Strive to be ambitious

Speak a little wiser

Try to be judicious

Be a good advisor

Never ever vicious

 

Where will you be then...?

 

Face front!

Lift your head!

You're on the winning team!

'NUFF SAID!

 

You belong, you belong, you belong, you belong

To the Merry Marvel Marching Society

March along, march along, march along to the song

Of the Merry Marvel Marching Society

 

If you growl, if you groan, and your star is nearly zero

Do not howl, do not moan, you can be a superhero

Marching right along to the fighting song

Of the Merry Marvel Marching Society!

"The Hurt Inside" - Gary Moore

 

You wrestle with your conscience

To free your better self

But did you think for one moment

You could be someone else

 

Between a rock and a hard place

Is where you seem to be

You've been caught in a trap

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

 

All those nights so lonely

All the tears that you cry

You can't hide

From the hurt inside

 

You're in a situation

Pray this time it will pass

But it feels like you're walking

Over miles and miles of broken glass

 

Painted into a corner

Where the sun never shines

Somebody's turned on the spotlight

You forgot to learn your lines

 

In the place you once called your heart

There's a wound that's open wide

You can't hide

From the hurt inside

 

When you're thinking about the hard times

Everyone's been through

But it won't make no difference

Seeing things the way you do

 

In this blue condition

You must search for the light

Don't believe them when they tell you

You can't hold back the night

 

Between a rock and a hard place

Is where you'll always be

Caught in a trap between the devil

And the deep blue sea

 

So many words unspoken

So many times you never tried

You can't hide

From the hurt inside

 

No, you can't hide

From the hurt inside

There's one thing you can't hide

That's the hurt inside

 

:'(

"Everything Has Changed"

Lucinda Williams

 

I can't feel my love anymore

I can't feel my love anymore

The mystery and the splendor

Don't thrill me like before

And I can't feel my love anymore

 

I don't want to talk to anyone

I don't want to talk to anyone

All the words that used to work

Have melted in the sun

And I don't want to talk to anyone

 

Faces look familiar but they don't have names

Towns I used to live in have been rearranged

Highways I once traveled down don't look the same

Everything has changed

Everything has changed

 

I can't find my joy anywhere

I can't find my joy anywhere

All the magic vanished

Into the misty air

And I can't find my joy anywhere

 

Now I don't know where my faith has gone

And now I don't know where my faith has gone

From the wonder I had a sense of

To the brightest star that shone

And now I don't know where my faith has gone

 

Faces look familiar but they don't have names

Towns I used to live in have been rearranged

Highways I once traveled down don't look the same

Everything has changed

Everything has changed

"Needs" - Collective Soul

 

Studio

 

  Live with Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra 

 

All around me I see what weakness has made

Too much tomorrow, I think I'll take all today

Am I a poison, am I a thorn in the side

Am I a picture perfect subject tonight

 

And I don't need nobody

And I don't need the weight of words

To find a way to crash on through

And I don't need nobody

And I just need to learn

The depth or doubt of faith to fall into

 

Here I slumber to awaken my daze

I find convenience in the savior I save

Am I a prison, am I a source of dire news

Am I a picture perfect reason for you

 

I don't need nobody

And I don't need the weight of words

To find the way to crash on through

I don't need nobody

I just need to learn

The depth or doubt of faith to fall into

 

In this time of substitute

It's my needs I've answered to all the while

And when this hope that I invest

It turns to signals of distress all the while

 

I don't need nobody

I just need to learn

The depth or doubt of faith to fall into

 

You're all I need

When the water runs deep

Yea, you're all I need

Now I cry my soul to sleep

You're all I need

You're all I need

"Red Bird" - Sophie B. Hawkins

 

Little red bird

I know you're feeling blue

Cause the black bird

Broke your wings

 

And you think

You'll never soar again

But you're higher

Than you've ever been before

You just don't see it anymore

 

Someday you'll find out

Who you really are

You'll know why you had to fly

So far away from your beloved park

And all the nights

You flew alone into the dark

It taught you how to see with your heart

 

You're in bed, bird

Though you're ageless in your mind

You have sailed so many seas

Now the passage

Is obscured from view

So close your eyes and concentrate

On breaking through

 

You will find out

Who you really are

You'll know why you had to fly

So far away

And all the nights

You flew alone into the dark

They taught you how to see

 

And when you finally land

You'll be surprised to learn

All you've lost has been returned

"I Wanna Be There"

Blessid Union Of Souls

 

 

Won't you let me catch your fall

Won't you let me lend a hand

Those lonely eyes have seen it all

But love's too blind to understand

 

Cause you don't know what you have

Till your everything is gone

You need someone to show you

How to live again

 

I wanna be there when you're feeling high

I wanna be there when you wanna die

I'm gonna light your fire

I'm gonna fuel your flame

I wanna be there when you go insane

 

I wanna be there when you're feeling down

And I'll be there when your head is spinning round

I'm gonna be your lover

Gonna be your friend

I wanna be there till the end

 

You wouldn't know that I was there

Cause I have been there all the time

And if I had my way

I'd hold you in my arms

And leave this madness all behind

 

Cause you got so much to give

But you throw it all away

And all you got to show

For who you are is pain

 

And I've got so much to give

If you'd only let me in

I'm gonna take the time

To show you I'm a friend

And you'll believe in love again

 

I wanna be there in the pouring rain

I wanna be there when you call my name

I'm gonna light your fire

I'm gonna fuel your flame

I wanna be there when you go insane

 

I wanna be there when I'm out of town

And when your whole damn world is crashing down

I'm gonna be your lover

Gonna be your friend

I wanna be there till the end, yeah

 

Cause you don't know what you have

Till your everything is gone

You need someone to show you

How to live again

 

And I got so much to give

If you'd only let me in

I'm gonna take the time

To show you I'm a friend

And you'll believe again

 

I wanna be there when your baby cries

I wanna be there when they tell you lies

I'm gonna light your fire

I'm gonna fuel your flame

I wanna be there when you go insane

 

I wanna be there when your nights are long

And when you're feeling like you don't belong

I'm gonna be your lover

Gonna be your friend

Gonna be there till the end

 

I'm gonna be there in the morning

I'm gonna be there in the night

I'm gonna be your lover

Gonna be your friend

I'm gonna be there till the end, yeah

"Broken Stones" - Paul Weller

 

Like pebbles on a beach

Kicked around

Displaced by feet

Like broken stones

All trying to get home

 

Like a loser's reach

Too slow and short

To hit the peaks

So lost and alone

Trying to get home

 

As another piece shatters

Another little bit gets lost

And what else really matters

At such a cost

 

Like a loser's reach

Too slow and short

To hit the peaks

So lost and alone

Trying to get home

 

Trying to get home

Like broken stones

All trying to get home

"Promises Broken" - Soul Asylum

 

The streets are filled with broken glass

You get buried by the past

Give me just a little taste

Lay this mask to waste

Take me home

 

My mind is racing, take me home

My body's aching, so alone

I'll make you wanna stay with me

Befriended by the enemy

One more time

 

And every little thing about this tells me

Nothing out there is ever gonna help me

All these words that I hear spoken

Just promises broken

 

Looking outside from my window sill

Throw another coin in your wishing well

You'll never find what you're looking for

Fifteen miles

Your dim light shines from so far away

Your sad smile

Is all I see when I say...

 

Every little thing about this tells me

Nothing out there is ever gonna help me

And all these words that I hear spoken

Just promises broken

 

From the hotel satellite

Don't look like you're living right

Here's a deal you can't refuse

You ain't got as much to lose

 

Can you tell your troubles to

Someone who won't laugh at you

And it's alright

And as I watch you walk away

Hope a part of you will stay

And it's alright

 

And every little thing about this tells me

Nothing out there is ever gonna help me

All these words that I hear spoken

Just promises broken
