Lyrics:

Through the eyes of a child who is looking up to you

It’s easy to see all the good and nothing old

See they hang on your words that you mean and I heard that

They listen and become what they’re told

Through the eyes of our children

We’ll fix what is broken

To see the world like new, as we begun

And you’ll never discover

Like how they uncover

The way the world can look when we are young

Through the times that we live in it feels good to give in to

Scroll another time; feel connected and alone

It’s not healthy to lie there, you’ll live and you’ll die there

And all you’ll have to show is on your phone

In the arms of an Angel

You’ll go to a strange hell

To see the life that could have been for you

And you’ll never recover

From what you discover

That it’s Hell no matter what it is you do

Lyrics:

I hope you’re happiest today

With the life you’ve made

I hope your happiness will stay

And you won't be afraid

Of the days ahead and how they will define you

Or the others who may come into your life

We all need a helping hand

And an ear to lend

We all want someone to understand

And be there to spend

All the days and all the nights with you forever

Maybe someone who you call your best friend

So you’ve found your love in this cold dark place

And it’s everything you could have dreamed of

And you wait for them to hurt you

All the while you’ll never let them go

And they won’t let you

I hope there’s colour in the grey

When you’re feeling blue

I hope you know they’re gonna stay

They’re in love with you

And no matter what this world will throw towards you

There is love in each and every moment then

Cus I found my love in this cold and dark place

And it’s everything I could have dreamed of

I’ve been waiting at the corner of your life

Prepared to step right in, from when I met you

And with all the days ahead

It’s hard to see where I’m going

There’s only you and I, and I know this

Nothing matters in the end

So let’s spend this time well knowing

Life is only us and what we miss

And life gives us plenty to grieve

The things we lose, the people that leave

Why do people go?

Why do people stay?

It’s not for me to know

We all will find our way, like

I found my love in this cold and dark place

And it’s everything I could have dreamed of

I’ve been waiting at the corner of your life

Prepared to step right in, from when I met you

I'm glad I met you

Lyrics:

Drop by on a holiday, or a Sunday afternoon

We’ll all get together then, even if it won’t be soon

Oh I know it will all be fine,

Drinks will flow and the sun will shine

And we’ll smile again

One day goes into another, when you rediscover, what it means to be alive

Make time to enjoy your living, while you’re trying to survive

Joy will come and joy will go

And in her arms you’ll always know

Things will be okay

And her eyes still glimmer like a thousand stars

And they close just a little in between the bars

For she gets a little bit of shut eye when she can

So we dance in the club till the sunlight shows

And I follow her no matter which way she goes

And I’m proud I can be called her man

She plays in another league, and it’s far above my own

On loan to another team, playing far away from home

She has come from way up high

To visit me I don’t know why

But she says it’s real

(she’s already met my mother,

And my older brother, and my sister now as well,

I know for a fact I love her,

I’ve been put under her spell

I could stare right at a wall

As long as she’s there it doesn’t matter at all what it is I do

And her eyes still glimmer like a thousand stars

And they close just a little in between the bars

For she gets a little bit of shut eye when she can

So we dance in the club till the sunlight shows

And I follow her no matter which way she goes

And I’m proud I can be called her man

Like snow is to a snowman,

Like branches are to leaves

Like rain is to a rainbow in the sky

That’s all you need to know man

It isn’t make believe

You wish and chat for this and that,

But love will get you by

And her eyes still glimmer like a thousand stars

And they close just a little in between the bars

For she gets a little bit of shut eye when she can

So we dance in the club till the sunlight shows

And I follow her no matter which way she goes

And I’ve found what I’ve been told

A feeling can’t be sold,

So I’m proud I can be called her man

Lyrics:

Some people live a life of shame and greed

Some people give all the can spare

Others sit on the fence to

Discreetly save their pence to live

So the life they live they can bare

Dumb people laugh and love the same as you

Not knowing anything is bliss

Let worries pass you by now

Dry off these tear s you cry now

Life will treat you better than this

They slip on the floor, though the sign says caution,

You know how it goes

If I tell you once you bet I'll tell you twice

A man reaps what he sows

It's easy to lose faith in us

The foolish kind of men

Cus if I told you once you bet I told you twice

And I'm gonna keep on telling you over and over again

Once I was happy just to sit and wait

Then I was giddy just to breathe

Now I have little hope for

My fellow man who cope or thrive

It’s the cruelty of being alive

Sometimes I study all the birds at play

See how another species live

How they are flying sweetly

Without a care completely free

To be whatever they should be

So they peck on the seeds or the crumbs of bread loaf

You know how it is

If they peck it once, you know they peck it twice

A bird lives just for this

It’s easy to love the bird

Because the bird is wild and free

And in the light of day when there are bills to pay

The bird looks good to me

So they peck on the seeds or the crumbs of bread loaf

You know how it is

If they peck it once, you know they peck it twice

A bird lives just for this

It’s easy to love the bird

Because the bird is wild and free

And in the light of day when there are bills to pay

The bird looks good to me (x4)

Lyrics:

It’s a beautiful day to be alive

And I’m falling, I’m falling for you

Some days are not very nice

You give into a momentary struggle or vice

Life knocks you down but you rise again

It’s only a matter of when

So far things have worked out alright

There is less in the way of the day or the night

It’s not gone quite according to plan

There’s no way that it can

You are the shoes beneath my feet

You’re a piece of the puzzle to make my life complete

You are the umbrella in the rain

You’re the rarely gotten remedy to all of my pain

It’s a beautiful day to be alive

And I’m falling, I’m falling for you

It’s a beautiful day to just survive

And I’m falling, I’m falling it’s true

Look back to when we met

We had the time of our lives

That we could never forget

It’s a beautiful day to be alive

And I’m falling, I’m falling for you

I work a little too hard

And I find that I struggle to lower my guard

Why break the habit of a life well led

And try living instead

Because every time that I try

The failure of other people come into my mind

It’s hard to start when the end’s already in sight

But it’s different tonight

You are the pick to my guitar

You’re the tyre inflator that lives within my car

You are glasses to my eyes

You’re the belt around my waist

But only when it applies

It’s a beautiful day to be alive

And I’m falling, I’m falling for you

It’s a beautiful day to just survive

And I’m falling, I’m falling it’s true

Look back to when we met

We had the time of our lives

That we could never forget

It’s a beautiful day to be alive

And I’m falling, I’m falling

For you and you forever,

Cus everything you do just makes me happy

All the way through this crazy little ride

Just you, yes you, and me forever,

Yes it’s true, you make me happy

I’m only trinna say what I feel deep down inside

Deep down inside

It’s a beautiful day x4

Look back to when we met

We had the time of our lives

That we could never forget

It’s a beautiful day to be alive

And I’m falling, I’m falling for you

Lyrics:

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father,

The sins of the father, the sins of the father?

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father,

The sins that the father has done?

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father,

The sins of the father, who won’t even bother?

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father?

The father has sinned so the son,

Must bare his cross and some

I run in circles in a shroud of doubt

My Father left, my father left me

We’ve all been searching and there’s no way out

Someone protect, someone protect me

You and all these people can be here at home (safe and sound)

Have each other then and leave me here alone

Now

We come from nothing and will soon return

We’re not here for long, so it’s best we learn

Find in our hearts how to forgive

Can’t we all move on and just let me live

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father,

The sins of the father, the sins of the father?

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father,

The sins that the father has done?

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father,

The sins of the father, who won’t even bother?

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father?

The father has sinned so the son,

Must bare his cross and some

One rotten apple does not spoil the rest

Don’t keep the water, keep the baby

I’m only trying to believe what’s best,

Heaven can help, Heaven can help me

Pray to any God who has an open ear (and a heart)

Live on the adrenaline without the fear

Now

We come from nothing and will soon return

We’re not here for long, so it’s best we learn

Find in our hearts how to forgive

Can’t we all move on and just let me live

Life’s an incredible teacher

It’s all a learning curve

Professor I want to meet yah

You’ve got one hell of a nerve

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father,

The sins of the father, the sins of the father?

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father,

The sins that the father has done?

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father,

The sins of the father, who won’t even bother?

Should a son be punished for the sins of the father?

The father has sinned so the son,

Must bare his cross and some

Lyrics:

You’re just too good for me

And I’m too good for you

If we are meant to be

And meant to see it through

There may be tougher days ahead

Won’t you’ll think back on what I’ve said

That you’re too good for me

But independently, I’m too good for you

Lately, I’ve been on my own

On the nights when we are forced to be apart

Staying closely to my phone

Just the same as how you stay close to my heart

My world becomes silence

Whenever you’re not near me

So if I feel like this today

Don’t let me live another way

Cus you’re too good for me

And I’m too good for you

If we are meant to be

And meant to see it through

There may be tougher days ahead

Won’t you’ll think back on what I’ve said

That you’re too good for me

But independently, I’m too good for you

Maybe I’ve been on my own

Just waiting for your light to be let in

The sunshine that you bring has shown

A different life to what it might have been

My life stands completely

To revolve around you

So if you feel the same as me

Let’s feel it for eternity

Cus you’re too good for me

And I’m too good for you

If we are meant to be

And meant to see it through

There may be tougher days ahead

Won’t you’ll think back on what I said

That you’re too good for me

But independently, I’m too good for you

Forget what’s been a done

And love me for ever after

We’re like the moon and sun

Up there in the sky

Looking at the world from above

Now for ever after

It’s in my grasp, and I won’t let go

Cus loving you is all the love I know

Oh I know

That you’re too good for me

And I’m too good for you

If we are meant to be

And meant to see it through

There may be tougher days ahead

Won’t you’ll think back on what I’ve said

That you’re too good for me

But independently, I’m too good for you

Lyrics:

Give me a reason to make you mine

A push is all that I need,

Just a push a lots of time

But make it simple and polite

You don't want to scare me off

I am prone to give up the fight

And even then

My mind will start racing all over again

What can I do?

When I’m scared to be loved by you

If I could hold you

If I could take us for a ride

If I could need you

If I could lovingly provide

If I could warn you

If I could numb what's deep inside

If I could hold you, I might

Tell me you love me, make no mistake

I'm needier than I look, and my heart is yours to break

I wanna love you all my life

And wake up without a care

Knowing the world would be alright

And even then

My mind will start racing all over again

If I could hold you

If I could take us for a ride

If I could need you

If I could lovingly provide

If I could warn you

If I could numb what's deep inside

If I could hold you, I might

Weighing up all the options

I see it’s worth it to try

I don’t want you to pass me by

If I could hold you

If I could take us for a ride

If I could need you

If I could lovingly provide

If I could warn you

If I could numb what's deep inside

If I could hold you, I might

Lyrics:

It may be funny, it may be sad

It may be nearly half as good as what you had

It may be sunny, it may be dark and grey

But tomorrow is another day

Come what may!

It might be awful, it might be fun

It might be miserable, lamentable and dumb

It might be boring, it might be quite okay

But tomorrow is another day

And to that I say!

You take all the bad with the good

You take all the lies with the truth

You laugh and you cry, and the world passes by

And I’m sitting ‘neath a sky that's blue

You take all the help you can get

You help others too in return

You love and you live, and you live and you learn

All the while I'm lost with you

It should be lovely, it should be nice

It should be beautiful, well measured and precise

It should be simple, it should be here to stay

But tomorrow is another day

And to that I say

You take all the bad with the good

You take all the lies with the truth

You laugh and you cry, and the world passes by

And I’m sitting ‘neath a sky that's blue

You take all the help you can get

You help others too in return

You love and you live, and you live and you learn

All the while I'm lost with you

There are lots of choices

A million other voices

That tell you how to spend your time

The recipe for joy is

Do as you like

Almost anything you do will be fine

You take all the help you can get

You help others too in return

You love and you live, and you live and you learn

All the while I'm lost with you
