1.Boy Moves To A New Town With Optimistic Outlook
Just woke up, it's a brand-new day
So many things that I wanna say
It's been a while since I've felt this way
Everything's ok, nothing feels broken
First day in a brand-new town
What will it be like, will it all go down？
Everyday I'm gonna write this down
Right here in my diary
And all this time, while the world passes us by
What will we leave behind, but the pages of our lives？
And if we take our time, I bet we can all find
The things in life worth living for
One thing I know is that when life's moving slow
I'm not out here on my own, I've got You (to get me through
this)
I'm on a long journey through mountains of apathy
And I'm not afraid to walk through
Everywhere I look it's all so different
Another city but it makes no difference
Still going through the same old issues
Everything's ok, nothing feels broken
With the days of the old behind me
Another summer and I feel like climbing
Write another page while the sun's still shining
Right here in my diary
And all this time, while the world passes us by
What will we leave behind, but the pages of our lives？
And if we take our time, I bet we can all find
The things in life worth living for
One thing I know is that when life's moving slow
I'm not our here on my own, I've got You (to get me through
this)
I'm on a long journey through mountains of apathy
And I'm not afraid to walk through
Fading, hating, waiting for some place where I can fit in
Show me, grow me, hold me, till my balance starts to set in
Fading, hating, waiting for some place where i can fit in
Show me, grow me, hold me, till my balance starts to set in
All this time, while the world passes us by
What will we leave behind, but the pages of our lives？
And if we take our time, I bet we can all find
The things in life worth living for
(2,3,4)
One thing I know is that when life's moving slow
I'm not out here on my own, I've got You (to get me through
this)
I'm on a long journey through mountains of apathy
And I'm not afraid to walk through
2.The Unavoidable Battle Of Feeling On The Outside
It's hard to fit in,
When you're on the outside,
Feels like someone's getting to my head,
Was it somethin' I did, or just somethin' I said？
I'm not an idiot, but I feel like one a lot,
Cause every time I try I end up here,
Right where I started, just feelin' unguarded
I don't care if it comes out perfect,
As long as I can spit it out
Then He said
Take your time, take what you need to,
Peace of mind, should never leave you,
You'll be fine, just let them see you,
On The Inside
Hurt takes time, don't be afraid of,
What you got, show them what ya made of,
You will find, it's gonna be alright
So let's go!
It's hard to get up,
When you don't feel like movin',
It's hard to lift your head up,
Sometimes, cause it feels like it's lastin',
But it's gonna pass
I'm not an alien,
But I feel like one a lot,
Cause every time I try, I end up here,
Just floatin' in space,
With that look on my face
I don't care if it comes out perfect,
As long as I can spit it out
Then He said
Take your time, take what you need to,
Peace of mind, should never leave you,
You'll be fine, just let them see you,
On The Inside
Hurt takes time, don't be afraid of,
What you got, show them what ya made of,
You will find, it's gonna be alright
So let's go!
I don't care if it comes out perfect,
As long as I can spit it out
Then He said
Take your time, take what you need to,
Peace of mind, should never leave you,
You'll be fine, just let them see you,
On The Inside
Hurt takes time, don't be afraid of,
What you got, show them what ya made of,
You will find, it's gonna be alright
So let's go!
So let's go!
3.Boy Meets Girl (And Visa Versa)
There she was,
Time stopped when she walked by,
She's an angel of fashion,
With her wings flown high,
She's the queen, of everybody's social scene,
You know what I mean？
She moves like royalty, in the flesh,
Her hair blows perfectly, never messed,
Think I have asthma, cause she took my breathe,
Away
Let me tell ya..
She moves, just like a rocket,
Shooting through the sky, just to make you watch it,
And fireworks go off, whenever she comes my way
She must have been sent, from another planet,
To break my concentration,
And change, my understanding,
Cause until now, I thought,
That all girls were the same.
Now she's comin' over, what do I do now？
Says she loves her Jesus, and she loves herself,
Wish I wasn't wearin' this shirt somehow
It's too late now
She moves like royalty, in the flesh,
Her hair blows perfectly, never messed,
Think I have asthma, cause she took my breathe,
Away
Let me tell ya..
She moves, just like a rocket,
Shooting through the sky, just to make you watch it,
And fireworks go off, whenever she comes my way
She must have been sent, from another planet,
To break my concentration,
And change, my understanding,
Cause until now, I thought,
That all girls were the same
Let me tell ya..
She moves, just like a rocket,
Shooting through the sky, just to make you watch it,
And fireworks go off, whenever she comes my way
She must have been sent, from another planet,
To break my concentration,
And change, my understanding,

That all girls were the same
4.Sometimes You Can Forget Who You Are
Every day I get a little closer to,
The things that I wanna, say with my life,
In no particular order
I'd like to make some sort of mark,
So that the world knows I was here
And I've been thinkin' about,
How I could scream it out loud,
Or paint a picture somehow,
A thousand miles long
And I've been tryin' till now,
These walls are freakin' me out,
Just need to let it all out,
And reach out,
Because sometimes, you can forget who you are
I'm tired of trying to make it,
I've spent so many nights,
Tryin' to get it all right, oh-oh-oh
I'm sick and tired of waiting,
For someone to see, and start believing in me,
But I know I'm not out here on my own.
Every year I get a little farther from,
Old misconceptions, that take the place,
Of mistakes and lessons,
There's things I've learned from,
Things I've been burned from,
It's part of who I am
And I've been thinkin' about,
How I could scream it out loud,
Or paint a picture somehow,
A thousand miles long
And I've been tryin' till now,
These walls are freakin' me out,
Just need to let it all out,
And reach out,
Because sometimes, you can forget who you are
I'm tired of trying to make it,
I've spent so many nights,
Tryin' to get it all right, oh-oh-oh
I'm sick and tired of waiting,
For someone to see, and start believing in me,
But I know I'm not out here on my own
There's been a lot of people,
Think I'm goin' no where,
Times that by ten, for every time I felt like turnin' around,
But everytime you said push on
And keep your head up,
Kept me on track from letting myself get fed up
I'm tired of trying to make it,
I've spent so many nights,
Tryin' to get it all right, oh-oh-oh
I'm sick and tired of waiting,
For someone to see, and start believing in me,
Oh-oh-oh
I'm tired of trying to make it,
I've spent so many nights,
Tryin' to get it all right, oh-oh-oh
I'm sick and tired of waiting,
For someone to see, and start believing in me,
Oh-oh-oh
But I know I'm not out here on my own.
5.Man Whatcha Doin'
I heard this guy say once：
If I had the money than I'd,
Buy all the happiness that money could buy,
I'd have 10 stretch limos like a movie star,
And a room in my house just for my guitar
And if I had money than I'd,
Only wear Sean John,
Eat my cereal with Grey Poupon,
In a swimming pool about one mile long,
With speakers underwater,
Playing this song
Man, whatcha doin？
Don't ya know that, money can't
Buy you love？ It can't make you happy,
Happy like, havin' someone to laugh with
Man whatcha doin？
Don't cha know that, money can't make it right,
You need to love yourself my man,
Before you love somebody else
Man, sit down, and listen to me for a second,
I'm not tryin' to be the sound of a broken record,
But every day you live your life, thinkin' this is
All there is, your cheatin' yourself outta
Somethin' special.no doubt...
If I had the money than I'd,
Buy all the happiness that money could buy,
I'd have 10 stretch limos like a movie star,
And a room in my house just for my guitar
And if I had money than I'd,
Only wear Sean John,
Eat my cereal with Louie Vuitton,
In a swimming pool about one mile long,
With speakers underwater,
Playing this song
Man, whatcha doin？
Don't ya know that, money can't
Buy you love？ It can't make you happy,
Happy like, havin' someone to laugh with
Man whatcha doin？
Don't cha know that, money can't make it right,
You need to love yourself my man,
Before you love somebody else
6.The Voyager Of Beliefs
I have 2 brothers and a sister, and a mother,
And a father who taught us that we should
All love one another,
We go to church on Sunday,
In a little green hyundai,
Have some grape juice and crackers,
Then we start again on Monday
And it's all fine, and it's all well,
I really want to find what I believe for myself,
Cause when you're gone,
And I'm still here,
I won't have you to tell me that I should be there
I'm tired of making excuses(oh oh oh),
Need to decide for myself
What if I stumble？ What if I fall？
When I'm on my way to You,
What if I need You？ Who do I call？
How do I know I'll get through？
Because I don't wanna ride the fence anymore.
I wanna stand up, and shout it,
And let it be known
I have 2 fathers, and a sister and a brother,
And a mother who taught us that we should
All do unto others,
My homeroom teacher, always talks about her preacher
And she says she talks to God,
But I don't know if I believe her
And it's all fine, and it's all well,
I really want to find what I believe for myself,
Cause when you're gone,
And I'm still here,
I won't have you to tell me that I should be there
I'm tired of making excuses(oh oh oh),
Need to decide for myself
What if I stumble？ What if I fall？
When I'm on my way to You,
What if I need You？ Who do I call？
How do I know I'll get through？
Because I don't wanna ride the fence anymore.
I wanna stand up, and shout it,
And let it be known
And you can tell me,
That I can't make a difference cause I'm just one,
But one is all it takes to start it
And you can tell me,
That I can't change the world,
Because I'm too young,
But I won't stand here and be your target
And you can push me,
And try to knock me down, but I won't listen,
Cause I've got nothing left to lose and,
You can hate me, for everything I'm not,
But it won't change this,
Cause now that I'm here, I'm not moving
I'm tired of making excuses(oh oh oh),
Need to decide for myself
What if I stumble？ What if I fall？
When I'm on my way to You,
What if I need You？ Who do I call？
How do I know I'll get through？
Because I don't wanna ride the fence anymore.
I wanna stand up, and shout it,
And let it be known
What if I stumble？ What if I fall？
When I'm on my way to You,
What if I need You？ Who do I call？
How do I know I'll get through？
Because I don't wanna ride the fence anymore.
I wanna stand up, and shout it,
And let it be known
7.Her Father's Song
I saw the rain fall down today,
Watch lightning crash through skies of grey,
Why can't life just be polite, and wait
I saw the lights outside your house,
Red lights cut like nothin' else,
The scene of a silent cry for help
How are we supposed to do this？
If everyone we love, still lets us down,
If you're there, can you hear me now？
No matter how hard I try,
Can't get you out of my mind,
Wish I could be there to help you say goodbye
Don't hold it inside, cause what's left can be right,
What's left can be right
I saw the sky go black today,
I felt your tears, and ached your pain,
It's hard to tell how much this changed,
How you see everything
And all I can do is pray,
That you don't take the blame,
Cause it's not your fault, that it happened this way,
Happened this way
How are we supposed to do this？
If everyone we love, still lets us down,
If you're there, can you hear me now？
No matter how hard I try,
Can't get you out of my mind,
Wish I could be there to help you say goodbye
Don't hold it inside, cause what's left can be right,
What's left can be right
8.Take Me As I Am
This time I finally see the reason why
I can't do this alone
It took some time and concentration
To believe it, this I know
I need to build my faith sometimes
But I am so comfortable in line
I'm up, there's no more time
To try to mess with this design
Tonight's complete
Everyone's asleep
And I wanna say these words to You
I'll be Your hand
Take me as I am
I just wanna be with You
Take me as I am
'Cause I'm going
I was too scared to start
Now I'm too scared to let go
Take me as I am
'Cause I'm growing
But it's so hard to tell
When I'm not used to this, so
Take me as I am
'Cause I'm going
I was too scared to start
Now I'm too scared to let go
Take me as I am
'Cause I'm growing
But it's so hard to tell
When I'm not used to this, so
I lift my voice to sing now
Let the sound of my heart ring out
These hands aren't holding me down
Never again will I be without
I need to build my faith sometimes
But I am so comfortable in line
I'm up, there's no more time
To try to mess with this design
Tonight's complete
Everyone's asleep
And I wanna say these words to You
I'll be Your hand
Take me as I am
I just wanna be with You
Take me as I am
'Cause I'm going
I was too scared to start
Now I'm too scared to let go
Take me as I am
'Cause I'm growing
But it's so hard to tell
When I'm not used to this, so
Take me as I am
'Cause I'm going
I was too scared to start
Now I'm too scared to let go
Take me as I am
'Cause I'm growing
But it's so hard to tell
When I'm not used to this, so
9.Dear God
Dear God I wrote this letter,
To put my thoughts on paper,
Sometimes life seems like a criminal,
Without a well planned caper
I know You're the answer,
But I forget the question,
How do I know You love me,
When no one else, seems to care
I've tried everything I thought,
Might help me understand things,
And it didn't tell me anything,
Or even play my heart strings
So I'm writing You this letter,
To wait for Your reply,
I am so tired, of not believing,
I'll give You a try
I don't know, but I got this feeling,
That today's gonna be my turning point,
Everyday I get a little bit closer,
It feels so good to finally be over
I don't know, but I think I'm learning,
This type of thing,
Never been my calling card,
Sometimes you just gotta look closer,
Instead of searchin' so hard
So when I start to get down,
And the world fills up around me,
And my head starts
Spinnin' like a top,
From the way my heart beat's pounding
I can look up for a second,
And know that I'm alright,
I spent so long, not believing,
It's my turn to fly
I don't know, but I got this feeling,
That today's gonna be my turning point,
Everyday I get a little bit closer,
It feels so good to finally be over
And I don't know, but I think I'm learning,
This type of thing,
never Been my calling card,
Sometimes you just gotta look closer,
Instead of searchin' so hard
I don't know, but I got this feeling,
That today's gonna be my turning point,
Everyday I get a little bit closer,
It feels so good to finally be over
I don't know, but I think I'm learning,
This type of thing,
Never been my calling card,
Sometimes you just gotta look closer,
Instead of searchin' so hard
10.The Shindig (Off To College)
So far so good it looks like,
the time is almost near,
Everything looks ship shape now and,
Everyone will soon be here
Tommy brought his champion ring and,
Sara brought her new stilettos,
Brian brought his Beastie Boys and,
His brand new tuxedo rental
And so Hey, let's dance the night away,
And bang, bang, the boogie like Kid Rock said,
I don't know who you are,
You dance just like a star,
In a video show, I wonder who you are？
Do you hear me tho？
Tonight might not be the best time,
That we've ever had,
But it may be the best time ever,
To realize what we have
So let's, pull out those Pink Floyd records,
And how about some old Def Leppard？
Turn it to ten, then we'll do it all again,
Oh-oh, because it's now or never
And so Hey, let's dance the night away,
And bang, bang, the boogie like Kid Rock said,
I don't know who you are,
You dance just like a star,
In a video show, I wonder who you are？
Do you hear me tho？
Hey, let's dance the night away,
And bang, bang, the boogie like Kid Rock said,
I don't know who you are,
You dance just like a star,
In a video show, I wonder who you are？
Do you hear me tho？
Gotta keep it coastin',
Dip like in the ocean,
Move, like Kylie Minogue,
When she did the locomotion
Hey, let's dance the night away,
And bang, bang, the boogie like Kid Rock said,
I don't know who you are,
You dance just like a star,
In a video show, I wonder who you are？
Do you hear me tho？
Hey, let's dance the night away,
And bang, bang, the boogie like Kid Rock said,
I don't know who you are,
You dance just like a star,
In a video show, I wonder who you are？
Do you hear me tho？
