1.You Can Count On Me
They try and keep you down
But they don't know, they don't know your dreams
The pride that leps you get throught the day
Something a nickel or a dime can't take away
(understand love for what it is, and keep it universal)
Yes i know
That you hate what you are
But don't you know
The promised land's not that far
Yes i know
Your pride has gone away
But there's always another day
So i say
Hey brother
I'm never gonna let you down
I'll help you turn it all around
You cn count on me
Hey brother
I'm here because i understand
I'll always treat you like a man
You can count on me
You can count on me
Don't let'em keep you down
Ya gotta try, as hard as it may seem
A victim of a world that's lost its mind
Still the same, you're just like me
(they say love is eternal, but i bet it's longer than that)
Yes i know
That you hate what you are
Don't you know
The promised land's not far
Yes i know
Your life has gone astray
There's always another day
So i say
2.Picture Perfect You
The epitome of beauty
An idea that soaks my soul
Your aura does consume me
And throws my mello out of control
I've waited all this life
To capture me a glimpse of the living end
You never say a word
So i replay my memory
Time and time again
I don't want to live another day
And make believe that everything's okay
Where's the good that left and went away
The perfect you, the perfect you, perfect you
A thought so very lovely
But a painful sight tosee
Ya always let me down
But i can't seem to let it be
I long to see your smile
Since it's been gone this rhythm has no rhyme
You never say a word
Can i keep my soul, if i lose my mind
3.Through Your Eyes
Father now my day is through
So i take the time to talk to you
Cause there's so many questions on my mind
I need ot know that when i die
I'llbe with you among the sky
Where i can see all beauty through your eyes
All my life i've been around
A thoughtless world trying to bring me down
But you held my hand and promised me a better day
I try and give what you gave to me
A soul that lives through eternity
But they ignore my cries and they turn away
Father, will the pain subside?
Or is it all a waste of time
I think i know the answer
From the years of tears you've cried
Though i tried so hard to cure
For a disillusioned world i'm scared
Cause i see the disappointmentin your eyes.
Lord, is there a remedy
To cure this world of misery
And give our children something to look forward to?
And if i could i'd gladly give
I'd give my life so they could live
Away from all the sorrow like i wanted to
So i fold my hands and pray
For those who've throuw our world away
It's so hard to see a future
When we destroy it everyday
Lord, i try so hard to cure
For a disillusioned world i'm so scared
Cause i can see the disappointment in your eyes
Father, now i say goodbye
And i promise you that i will try
To make the world a better place to live again
And if i die would you please promise me
You'll save a place in eternity
Sitting by your side, amen.
4.Lost In You
Take me to your soul
Lose me in your smile
Baby i don't care just as long as i get there
No need for cliches
Or silly masquerades
I'm drifting endlessly, drifting closer to you
For so long i live in darkness
I'm looking for the light
You surround my heart with you love
Your aura shining bright
You keep the sun alive eternally
And you keep me from the night
Don't you know i'll do
What you want me to
Open up your soul and let me get close to you
I just wanna say
You take my breath away
I'll do what you want me to, i'll get lost in you
You're the only road
To my happiness
Hold me tightly in your arms caress me in your dreams
My love will find a way
To your emptiness
Singing tenderly to your emotions
So close but yet so far my imagination's
Running away with me
And it takes me to a place where
You're the only one i see
But when i awake all i have
Is pain and misery
5.Livin' To Die
6.There's No Reason
Sometimes i cry for my people
What can you do to make them understand
Why can't they see things just like you do
And help their fellow man
Living in a world (a world)
Full of sin and seperation
Living in a world (a world)
Full of hate and bigotry
I look around
The i pray for my salvation
I close my eyes
And look beyond the skies
There's no reason we can't live together
There's no reason we can't make it better
If i could die for my people
And erase the pain they've left behind
To save us all, i'd gladly give it all
And die a thousand times...
Living in a world (a world)
Full of greed and false ambition
We're gonna lose our world
'cause we're livin' so carefree
Then pray for your salvation
Close your eyes
And look beyond the skies
There's no reason we can't live together
There's no reason we can't make it better
7.Serenade The Sun
8.Show Me
9.Life Goes On
When the game seems like it's got you down and out
All you have to do is pick yourself up off the ground
'cause life goes on
And when he calls you and your time has come to pass
It really makes no sense for you to even carry on
Tell me why you're making excuses for your life
You gotta live it... you gotta do it
It ain't so hard to be the best that you can be
Life's full of hard times, but you can make it through it
So hold on tight to your peace of mind
Let negativity flow out like the tide
Be prepared for a bumpy ride
Close the chapters in your past
Or you won't know how the story ends
Why ya wanna try and keep me down?
Always tryin' to trip on me
Misery loves company
I've made many mistakes in my life
Take the good times with the bad
That's the way to unlock your dreams
Your every wish can be your destiny
And you can take them further than the eye can see
It doesn't matter what they mean to me
Close the chapters in your past
Or you'll never know how the story ends
Hold you head up high
Take control of your life
Never let it pass you by
You're bound to fail if you don't try
It's time that you get on your way
And find yourself a brighter day
And if you ask me what i think
This is what i'll say
10.Figure 8
I look at you, i feel invincible
See all i need form you, is the passion in your eyes baby
I look at the fountain and i watch it overflow
You blow out the candles babe
And right before my eyes i see you change, you changed
And it comes in like the tide
A question mark lies on my face, i almost want to cry
You erase my emotions, with a kiss and clever sigh
I'm looking through you and you know how i feel
You say love's uncertain and it blows in like the wind
I say love's eternal and it comes from way within
You say love is passion, and confuse me once again
You got me goin' in circles babe
You left that figure 8 in my eyes
In my eyes
I wonder if i can set my emotions free for you
All i wanna do, is stare into your eyes baby
The times you said you loved me i can count em'
On my hands
I become confrontational
And all you have to do for me is cry (is cry)
I'm right there to hold your hand
To me you're just that personal, but you don't understand
Spoke to your compassion, i said i wonder where you are
I love you and you love me, i thought you'd understand
11.My Friend
12.Free From Humanity
I know some just can't understand
It's not about the downfall of man
Let's drift safely on a journey to forget the past
Where happy people cry with me
And those full of life will die with me
Our final destination is peace at last
And i wonder how it would be
If my heart were free from humanity
Lord, i always dreamed it would be
Bliss eternally
If my heart were free from humanity
Constant wishing for some space
So i can dream of a place
Where there's a happy ever after for me and you
And i still hope that day will come, where we'll be the
Brilliant ones
And realize true beauty comes internally
Where happy people cry with me
And those full of life will die with me
Our final destination is peace at last.
