Hope.

Verse
Today hope was born, tomorrow will it be gone
No, she’s here to stay
You’d think life was free don’t blink think positively
And don’t start to sway
Yesterday has all but gone, today keep moving on
Please hold out your hand
Soon I hope the pain will clear, then she’d have no fear
Then I’d understand.


Chorus
We all need hope from time to time
Can I borrow a little from you?
You can borrow mine
We all look up to the gods to direct us
And to protect us
And to correct us.

Verse
Today hope was born, tomorrow will it be gone?
No, she’s here to stay
This hope joins another Billion and three, angels yes truly
Now there’s no need to play
Aftermath I am fine, till the end of time
We will move on.

Bridge
Take the bull by the horns and form your own opinion
On what’s right or wrong, on what’s right or wrong.

Chorus
We all need hope from time to time
Can I borrow a little from you?
You can borrow mine
We all look up to the gods to direct us
And to protect us
And to correct us.
We all need hope
Yeah, all need hope.

Hope

Reality.

Verse
Just want to be taken to heaven
Cos I already live my life in hell.
Where’s my destiny being driven?
I don’t think you can tell.
To turn my back on everything
Would be a selfish thing to do.

But each man as his own song to sing
Some people, well they never knew.
Constantly one thing after another
Forever opening and closing a door.
Are you my friend, enemy or lover?
I’m sorry I’m becoming a bore.

Bridge.
Like an angel flying through the clouds
Or the devil sorting out the crowds.
Laughing and crying, living, and dying
Walking and talking, honesty and lying.

Chorus
As one starts to laugh another starts to cry
As one starts to live another will start to die.
But how can you talk to ones that sleep?
Wondering how long it all will keep.
Taken away all my angels of light
My soul is broken I can no longer fight.

Verse
At times I feel I’m in an empty space
Not knowing which way I’m gonna turn.
You can’t even look at my face
Happy and sad with constant stomach churn
I think you’d like to live in your dreams.
Cos you can’t handle any of reality

The truth I need just give it to me
An answer I search for every single day.
But what question am I looking for?
My uncertainties make me want to stray
I’m on my knees ready to just crawl.
Bring on another crazy day



Bridge.
Like an angel flying through the clouds

Chorus.

As one starts to live another will start to die.
But how can you talk to ones that sleep?
Wondering how long it all will keep.

As one starts to laugh another starts to cry
As one starts to live another will start to die.

Begin Again

Verse
To have your heart broken
Is one of the worst pains
It feel’s like your choking
Can’t break from your chains.

The feeling of being alone
And what you done wrong
The feeling of being thrown
You have to become strong.

Bridge
Take the bad and make it good
Take the good, get rid of the bad
Look forward and not back
Don’t look back but forward.

Verse
It’s your gain, there loss
The world is waiting for you
No need to be longer lost
And no need to be blue

Embrace the whole world
Wear that good looking smile
Go and fly like a beautiful bird
Make the past pain worthwhile.

Bridge
Take the bad and make it good
Take the good, get rid of the bad
Look forward and not back
Don’t look back but forward.


Chorus
Shoulders out and head held high
Let it all go and say goodbye
Just like sun replaces the rain
It’s time for you to believe
Time for you to begin again.
It is your turn to go and shine
Make every minute your time
Smile and blow away your pain
Go and live happy and free
Time for you to begin again

Begin Again

Day After Day.

Verse.
I'm drowning in the rain.
But don't know why?
Cos I'm inside my pain.
And it's quite dry.
My mind is blown to bits
Cos of poverty and war
Politicians get on me tits
We've heard it all before.

Verse
They take and not give
They do it all the time
The people starve, they live
But to them, it's no crime.
They never look back
At who is under their shoes
They don't wanna know about facts
Couldn't give a damn who lose.

Bridge.
It's time to stop being true.
Cos, they have a hold on you.
No such thing as being free
Cos, they have a hold on me.

Chorus.
Day after day, we hear and see the same thing.
Day after day, their excuses wear a little thin.
Day after day, the moon replaces the sun.
Day after day, our living as only begun.

Verse
I'm swimming in the rain,
And I figured out why
Cos I'm a little insane.
It's always got me bye.
Why are we told what to do?
Especially by these fakes
They lie, don't speak the truth
And cover up their mistakes.
They don't think we'll figure it out.
Don't think that we're meant to
Who knows what it's all about?
And do we really want too?
They always seem to smile
While we all wear a frown
How can you talk about style?
When we're on our way down.

Bridge.
It's time to stop being true.
Cos, they have a hold on you.
No such thing as being free
Cos, they have a hold on me.

Chorus.
Day after day, we all take for granted.
Day after day, everyone has wanted.
Day after day, we need to open our eyes.
Day after day, we all willingly try.

Day After Day

Gentle Kisses.

Verse.
Thought it was my destiny to always cry
Would my bad luck in love never end?
You seamed to drop from out the sky
Now my smile is no longer pretend.

You are my heart and help me live
Especially when I am with you
When I’m down you make me believe
With this love through and through.

Bridge.
I like the way you look at me, I’m your dream and fantasy
I love the touch of your hand, by each-others side we stand
You really are everything, with you I can turn water into wine
You tell the world I’m yours, I tell the world your mine.

Chorus.
You wake me with your gentle kisses and your tender touch
I love your warm caresses I love you so much
You make me want to breathe all of the time
Everything is such a dream; you make me feel fine
cos from the very first moment, I knew it was meant to be.

Verse.
I feel I can make the world with you
As we embark on our love history
Togetherness as never felt more true
Wrapped in happiness no more misery.

Bridge.
I like the way you look at me, I’m your dream and fantasy

Everything is such a dream; you make me feel fine

I need your warm caresses; I need them so much
Our love makes us breathe every second of time
This is just such a dream we have the perfect life.
Cos from the very first moment, I knew it was meant to be.

Gentle Kisses

Wherever the Wind Blows.

Verse.
Stood higher than high, looking out a head
Wanting to jump down but bottled it instead
You see my life is slowly, yeah slowly closing in
Stare out not knowing where I am going or where I’ve been.

Everything is going wrong; I feel week no longer strong
Far away are my dreams, no one can hear my screams
But you will get me through, it hurts my love for you
Really my life is good, I can jump I know I could.

Bridge.
But wherever the wind blows, I will follow you.

Chorus.
If you decide to jump to work out your regrets
The rain hits hard as you wait for the sun to set
I search for my answer, but I have it in you
As I stand and think I feel the wind blow.

Bridge
But whatever life will throw, I just want you.

Verse.
I’m Still stood high looking out a head
Not wanting to give up but happy instead
I want my life to have a new direction
With no need to be sectioned.

Everything is going right, no longer need to fight
Around me are all my dreams, not as bad as it seems
You are the one who got me through, my love still hurts for you
You make me tick like time, you are my heart and spine.

Bridge.
And wherever the wind blows, I will follow you.

Chorus.
Rather fight you than never make love to you again
My devilish thoughts drive me to the brink of insane
All my past pain and lost hope make me feel true
My fallen angels help me find my way on through.

Bridge.
Whatever life will throw, Whichever the way we go,
but wherever the wind blows I will be with you.

Wherever The Wind Blows.

Six Shots of Sambuca.
Verse
Six shots of sambuca please,one shot of apple sourz
On our celebratory night, we’ve been drinking for hours.
Another couple of beers downed, we all join in the dance
Fun and lots of laughter, as we pull down a mates pants.

Chorus
C’mon everybody on your night on the town
C’ mon everybody lets party on down
C’mon everybody on your night on the town
C’ mon everybody lets party on down
Yeah everybody party on down.

Verse
Another round of shots, I’m getting burry vision
But get some more in, as I’m on a drinking mission.
Trying to have a minute, and go for something to eat
Then it’s back on the dance floor, my poor throbbing feet.

Chorus
C’mon everybody on your night on the town
C’ mon everybody lets party on down
C’mon everybody on your night on the town
C’ mon everybody lets party on down
Yeah everybody party on down.

Verse
Everywhere you look, there are parties of stags and hens
And there is always the one, who tries to jump the fence.
Now lots of people, are kissing one another
One of the lads horrified, in the corner was his grandmother.


Chorus
C’mon everybody on your night on the town
C’ mon everybody lets party on down
C’mon everybody on your night on the town
C’ mon everybody lets party on down
Yeah everybody party on down.

Verse
Here it comes again, as I am sick in the pub corner
Then I’m kissing a young girl, I think I’m falling for her.
I feel smashed, and resemble the living dead
Taxi I think, I’m well over due for my bed.
Chorus
C’mon everybody on your night on the town
C’ mon everybody lets party on down
C’mon everybody on your night on the town
C’ mon everybody lets party on down
Yeah everybody party on down.

Sun Will Shine Again

Verse
Crazy and scary times
That have become us.
Prisoned for no crimes
Crippling pain of loss.

Loved ones we can't see
Now we are homebound.
In times of uncertainty
We are locked down.

Losing our loved ones
Keep your distance.
Listening to sad songs
Protect our existence.

But spirit remains intact
We Fight this war
But It Is A Fact
We can win this war.

Bridge
Together as one. Together were strong
Standing as one. Standing so strong.

Chorus
Believe me that the sun will shine again
Basked in sunshine glory no more rain
Our Enemies can be driven away
Let’s all reach out and take that day
When loving hope replaces our pain
The sun will shine on us all again.


Verse
Our life’s have changed
In so many ways
World Re-arranged
We all will pay.

Me, you, and all
Unite in the fight
We shall not fall
It’ll be alright.

Together as one. Together were strong
Standing as one. Standing so strong.


Chorus

Basked in sunshine glory no more rain

When loving hope replaces our pain
The sun will shine on us all again.
