Free In My Mind
By Sonya Muhammad
V1 I understand why you’re here with me today
I understand that you say you care
And every time you hold my hand
You say the words you know I want to hear
V2 I understand that I am very very young
But I understand what I feel
Loving you so much, all I wanted to do was please you
But now I realize that doesn’t seal any deals
Chorus: So baby, baby, baby, baby
Please hear what I have to say
If you want us to be together
We will have to find another way
Cause this is my temple
And it’s all I have to give
I’m guarding it with a very special love
So that all of me can live
Free in my mind
Free in my mind
V3 So many times I wondered why
I saw you shared with others what we do
You said no, but my eyes don’t lie
So now I know what I saw was true
V4 Thank you for stopping by
May I walk with you to the door?
Cause now I understand
What you really came here for
V5 I have nothing to prove to you
Don’t want to play any of your games
No tears
No heartbreaks
And no one is to blame
Free in my mind
Free in my mind
Repeat Chorus
Repeat V5
Vamp Out
FADE AWAY
By Sonya Muhammad
V1 Many days have gone by
I’m still waiting
And anticipating
You said
You’d be by
But you said seven thirty
The days and nights have all become
One endless trip through eternity
Seems to me
That this romance is fading away
V2 I should laugh and not cry
Cause I did know it
And everything did show me
That you and I
We were not for each other
Why do we sometimes bother
To hold onto dreams that repeat
Scenes
That lead us down a trail that fades away
Bridge: So I look me in the eye
Concentrate and realize
That there’s more to life than this
Oh please Lord don’t let me miss it
Grant me strength to take a stand
Space to be just who I am
I need love that’s here to stay
Love that doesn’t fade away
V3 Now I fight back the tears
But I’m ok now
And it’s another day now
And I just won’t fear
The one for me I will meet and
Everything will be as it should
Cause we would have the faith and trust
Meant for us
And there’s no longer trails that fade away
Vamp Out.
