Song Lyrics
HOW TO BE YOUR FRIEND
You say I don’t understand, I tell you I do,
I know what you’re going through
So you shut me out, and I take it in
Can’t figure out what to do
I tell you it’s wrong, you say you know,
but you’re still choosing this path to follow
You take to the road, and leave me to think
Could I have stopped you from going?
Stand up tall, don’t you raise your white flag in the air
Don’t say it’s too late to show how much I care
Forgive me, maybe your road would have some different bends
Had I known how to be your friend
I tell you to change, you say you can’t
I couldn’t hear what you really meant
Your silent screams go over my head
Disguised as indifference
Stand up tall, don’t you raise your white flag in the air
Don’t say it’s too late to show how much I care
Forgive me, maybe your road would have some different bends
Had I known how to be your friend
You don’t need me to say this is not the right way, what you need is my hand
I saw that look in your eyes that night and now I understand
You don’t want to hear what you shouldn’t be doing, only now i see it
Love is all, love is all you needed
Love is all, love is all you needed
Stand up tall, don’t you raise your white flag in the air
Share your burden with me I’m telling you now how much I care
Forgive me, maybe your pain could have been a little less
Had I known how to be your friend
Please let me be your friend
HEARTBEAT
Sometimes your faith
Seems to escape through
The cracks that you never knew you made
Sometimes the pain
Tries to consume you
But time keeps on turning and things change
Just like a heartbeat
That’s rising and falling
Sinking and soaring-
It keeps you alive
There will always be ups and downs
There’s no time to waste for staying on the ground
A struggle makes you stronger in the end
Believe that it’s true
You know you’ll survive
When you hear
Your heartbeat, your heartbeat
Sometimes you smile,
The world smiles back at you
and understands your spirited mind
Sometimes you fly,
The view is so beautiful
But even birds land once in a while
Just like a heartbeat
That’s rising and falling
Sinking and soaring-
It keeps you alive
There will always be ups and downs
There’s no time to waste for staying on the ground
A struggle makes you stronger in the end
Believe that it’s true
You know you’ll survive
When you hear
Your heartbeat, your heartbeat
And life goes on when you don’t think it can
And when you fall, you’ll learn how to stand
Cuz the road will never be smooth
The ins and the outs are what life’s all about
And learning how to smile through it all
Just like a heartbeat
That’s rising and falling
Sinking and soaring-
It keeps you alive
There will always be ups and downs
There’s no time to waste for playing around
Believe that you’re stronger than you think
You’ll see that it’s true
You know you’ll survive
When you hear
You know you’ll be fine
Cuz you feel
Your heartbeat, your heartbeat
Little Girl
I used to dream of angel wings and princesses
Fantasize what life could be
I’m still that girl wishing on a star
Where I hope my fairytales will be
Life has a way of turning days into years
Here I am holding onto that little girl
Entering a confusing world
Trying to make my way
Here I am holding on to that little girl
Safe in her innocent world
And so unafraid
I used to cry when someone yelled at me
I used to hold hands with my best friends
Brave enough to show I care
Life has a way of turning dreams into nightmares
Here I am holding onto that little girl
Entering a confusing world
Trying to make my way
Here I am holding on to that little girl
Safe in her innocent world
And so unafraid
I still need to be held tight
Told that I’m gonna be alright
I’m still that little girl inside
Under my big girl disguise
Here I am holding on to that little girl
Entering a brutal world
I’m trying to find my place
Here I am holding onto that little girl
I know it’ll be okay
So I’m not afraid
Here I am holding onto that little girl
Inside Out
I heard from a smart guy the outside is just a lie
When joy is not flying in your heart you can’t start to soar
You gotta live life to the beat of your soul,
It feels right when it’s not just a show anymore
I, I wana try
I, I wana fly
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
It’s only real when it comes from the inside, inside, inside out
When you find that spark in you that shines like a glowing light in the darkest night
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
I heard from a smart man it’s not about running around, you’re just running away from the pain you’ve found
You gotta live creating the joy you’ll have,
Music’s playing inside though you hear no sound
I, I’m gonna try
I, I’ll find a way to fly
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
It’s only real when it comes from the inside, inside, inside out
When you find that spark in you that shines, like a glowing light in the darkest night
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
Though it’s not easy to find that feeling of elation
I’m gonna search from deep inside and follow my intuition
I know though the instant is fast, it won’t last very long
Day by day, ill take it slowly from the inside out
Until I’m strong
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
It’s only real when it comes from the inside, inside, inside out
So bright like a shooting star across the black sky, shining rays of light
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
Inside, inside out
A Different Key
I’m trying to talk, but it seems nobody’s here
Everyone’s around but they won’t stop to care
I just wana be heard but no one’s listening
The more I try, my voice is fading
Everyone’s singing but they’re singing their own song
Why can’t we all join along?
Together in harmony, listening
to every note
If we blend our voices together in unison
We can make beautiful music
Don’t sing too loud or you might miss out
On some other great melody
Even if it’s on a different key
Everyone’s busy, they don’t want to hear
How my day was, and why I went where
Living their own lives, oblivious
Not realizing how much they’re missing
Everyone’s singing but they’re singing their own song
Why can’t we all join along?
Together in harmony, listening
to every note
If we blend our voices together in unison
We can make beautiful music
Don’t sing too loud or you might miss out
On some other great melody
Even if it’s on a different key
Everyone has a key that they live on
Some are high, some are low, and some are in between
Live and love, laugh and cry, just feel something real
Tune into what others are saying to you
There’ll be so much more awaiting you
There’s a lot you can learn it’s not hard to find if you open your mind
Everyone’s singing but they’re singing their own song
Why can’t we all join along?
Together in harmony, listening
To every note
If we blend our voices together in unison
We can make beautiful music
Don’t sing too loud or you might miss out
On some other great melody
Even if it’s on a different key
A different key
COMPLICATED
Oh-oh complicated, Oh-oh complicated
Oh-oh-oh complicated
Going down the road it’s perfectly clear in my mind
Strong enough to face whatever comes to be
Riding along the waves of clarity,
Turned into uncertainty I’m drowning
I’m drowning
Things that seemed so simple then, now hard to figure out
Things I was so sure about, I’m starting to doubt
It’s so complicated, was clear but faded
Into a hazy lie
The colors that were beautiful
Now blurred before my eyes
Why is it so hard?
Why is it so hard-just to live my life?
Glided through the days like a bird in flight,
I lifted up my wings until I soared
Then landed in a mess of such confusion
Couldn’t carry myself anymore
Couldn’t carry myself anymore
All I tried to build up is crashing down in flames
Left in a heap of rubble that can't seem to be explained
It’s so complicated, was clear but faded
Into a hazy lie
The colors that were beautiful
Now blurred before my eyes
Why is it so hard?
Why is it so hard-just to live my life?
Oh-oh complicated, oh-oh complicated
Oh-oh-oh complicated x2
It’s so complicated, was clear but faded
Into a hazy lie
The colors that were beautiful
Now blurred before my eyes
Why is it so hard?
Why is it so hard-just to live my life?
It’s so complicated, was clear but faded
And now I just can't see
I’d never believe, in my wildest dreams,
That I’d feel so incomplete
Why is it so hard?
Why is it so hard?
Change
It’s easy to let it slide
And push those thoughts aside
Ignore the reason ur alive
Cuz ur busy wasting time
It’s simple to let it go
And hope that one day you'll know
How to take control
And really start to grow
Even though it’s hard to
make a change and start to
find out what ypu're living for
one day you’rheart will open
to all that you’ve been told and
finally you’ll start to soar
after the pouring rain the sun starts to shine
when you feel there’s nothing left, you're never empty inside
when the sky gets dark it's when you see the stars
please believe it’s never too late to change and be all you are
it’s harder to decide
how to live your life
become all you wana be
and love it all the while
it’s difficult to really see
and look inside truthfully
assess yourself honestly
and change direction entirely
Even though it's hard to
make a change and start to
find out what you’re living for
one day your heart will open
to all that you’ve been told and
finally you’ll start to soar
after the pouring rain the sun starts to shine
when you feel there’s nothing left, you're never empty inside
when the sky gets dark it's when you see the stars
please believe it’s never too late to change and be all you are
If this was your last day on earth
would you care as little as you do?
Do u know wat you're worth?
Wud you try just a little
to find out why you’re here?
Your potential for greatness
Is really what you fear
After troubled times the air starts to clear
what goes around comes around, you know there’s nothing to fear
when the sky gets dark the stars are all you see
please believe it’s never too late to change there’s so much you were meant to be
Edge Of Prayer
The spirit inside of me Is hanging on by a thread
So I'm asking you please G-d tell me when this will end
Bruised and breaking, my heart is aching to be free
Begging you with all the strength I have left to help me
I'm standing here on the edge of prayer Trying not to look down as I'm waiting Won't you come a little closer now
Promise me things will turn around
Once I prayed all there's left to do Is wait Patiently for you to save me from falling down
I'll keep my ground on the edge of prayer
I'm all alone here In my world of endless tears to hide
Luckily I've got Someone who's always on my side
Through it all, every single painful fall Knowing you're with me keeps me standing tall
I'm standing here on the edge of prayer Trying not to look down as I'm waiting Won't you come a little closer now
Promise me things will turn around
Once I prayed, all there's left to do Is wait Patiently for you to save me from falling down
I'll keep my ground on the edge of prayer
There's only one place to turn And I know Inside it's true
Bring us home I can't bear to be so far away from You
Standing up here with so much to fear
The world lays down below
I need you with me faithfully, I can't do this on my own
I'm standing here on the edge of prayer Looking at the heavens as I'm waiting
I can feel you coming closer now
Telling me things will turn around
Once I prayed all there's left to do is change The way I view the worldc stop the pain from
Holding me down I'll keep my ground
On the edge of prayer
I'll keep my ground, I'll keep my ground
On the edge of prayer

GREATNESS
As I’m lying down my head tonight
After a long day, I’m worn out and tired
I’ve let You down again, crossed those lines that were red
Without a care in my mind
Led by my heart, I didn’t think twice
I wouldn’t blame You
If today was my last
But I know You’re not like that
You give me another chance today
Though I failed
Your faith in me makes me believe
Every day comes and I still haven’t changed
But You never give up on me
I wake up with determination
I’ve got a new day to fulfill your vision
So I try real hard, lift up my wings to fly
Like I’ve never done
Only to fall with all my broken aspirations
And I wouldn’t blame You
If today was my last
But I know You’re not like that
You give me another chance today
Though I failed
Your faith in me makes me believe
Every day comes and I still haven’t changed
So I’ll give all I have
Chase it down til it’s in my hands
I’ll find the greatness in me
I’ll fight through the tests
Every day, take a step
Til I find my destiny
Every day’s another chance for greatness
As long as you let me
You give me another chance today
Though I failed
Your faith in me makes me believe
Every day comes and I still haven’t changed
But You never give up on me
You give me another chance cuz I haven’t failed
I’m slowly working towards eternity
If G-d thinks I can, I’d be blind not to see
Yes there’s room for greatness in me
Oh there’s still room for greatness in me
SHINE
I wake up to the rain outside my window
Every drop a reflection of my inner pain
I gather my strength to get up again somehow
Hide the tears that are lingering on my face
My act can fool for a while
Though inside I’m crying
I know all the reasons to smile
Still my spirit is dying
I keep telling myself
The sun does shine, underneath
Ever so brightly, but I just don’t see
past the cloudy line
The sun does shine, underneath
Forever faithfully, it will always be
There for me to see
I’m walking along the lines of monotony
Never straying, I’m praying to just get somewhere
I’m hearing my footsteps as if it’s not me
In my mind, my real life is so far away from here
My act can fool for a while
Though inside I’m crying
I know all the reasons to smile
Still my spirit is dying
I keep reminding myself
The sun does shine, underneath
Ever so brightly, but I just don’t see
Past the cloudy line
The sun does shine, underneath
Forever faithfully, it will always be
There for me to see
It’s shining on me
Melting away my fear
I have to believe
I may not see it but it’s always there
The sun does shine, underneath
Ever so brightly, but I just don’t see
Past the cloudy line
The sun does shine, underneath
Forever faithfully, it will always be
There for me to see
A HUNDRED MILLION REASONS
This world
Can push you around
And bring you down so easily
Closed doors
And broken dreams
Giving up is the only way- it seems
But don’t lose hope
Don’t close your eyes to all the good
That’s in front of you
I have a hundred million reasons why
I should be crying but I’m pushing on
I have a hundred million reasons why
I feel it’s too late to change things
But I know that I’ve got to stay strong
I have to believe He’s never wrong
What’s here is meant to be and if I look
A little harder ill see
There’s beauty in everything
Ohohoh waohoh
This world
Can be so tough
But in some ways, it’s so simple
It’s one life
And it’s your choice
How u wanna live it
So don’t lose hope
Don’t close your eyes to all the good
That’s in front of you
I have a hundred million reasons why
I should be crying but I’m pushing on
I have a hundred million reasons why
I feel it’s too late to change things
But I know that I’ve got to stay strong
I have to believe He’s never wrong
What’s here is meant to be
And if I look a little harder I’ll see
There’s beauty in everything
Ohohoh waohoh
Happiness isn’t a destination to reach-
but a way of traveling
Today is never too late to be
all that you’ve dreamed
and start enjoying & living for
All there is to be grateful for
more than the hundred million reasons
Why I just can’t see it
I have a hundred million reasons why
I should be crying but I’m pushing on
I have a hundred million reasons but
It’s never too late to change things
I have a hundred million reasons why
I should be crying but I’m pushing on
I have a hundred million reasons but
It’s never too late to change things
cuz I know there’s one reason so strong
I know that G-d is never wrong
What’s here is meant for me
And if I look a little harder ill see
There’s beauty in everything
Ohohoh waohoh
I have a hundred million reasons why
I should be crying but I’m pushing on
I STILL HAVE YOU
I take the bullet like a pro by now
Keep my head up, my eyes off the ground
Give it to me, all the reasons to let go
But I’ve come too far to give up the fight so,
How do I go on when there’s nowhere to go?
How can I stay strong when I see no road?
How do I believe when it all ever leads me to is here…
Barely breathing this deceiving air
I still have You
And that’s everything I’ll ever need
I know the Truth, my faith is what will carry me
Through the hard times, the terrifying dark
The kind of pain that rips me apart
When there’s nothing left to say and nothing I can do
I still have You (Oh I still have you)
I still have You (Oh I still have you)
Bring it on, I can brave what’s said and done
Wash my face and face what has become
I can fly and find You in everything
And I never dreamed it would ever be enough for me
How do I go on when there’s nowhere to go?
How can I stay strong when I see no road?
How do I believe when it all ever leads me to is here…
Choked up, hands numb, from wiping away my tears
I still have You
And that’s everything I’ll ever need
I know the Truth, my faith is what will carry me
Through the hard times, the terrifying dark
The kind of pain that rips me apart
When there’s nothing left to say and nothing I can do
I still have You (Oh I still have you)
I still have You (Oh I still have you)
Take me now, let me live out the plans You made
I never knew where I was going anyway
Pick me up from the floor, from abandonment and tortured love
You know my heart broke a million times, and I always try to find the meaning
But now my soul has lost it’s hope, tell me- what is this feeling?
I still have You
I still have you
Through the hard times, the terrifying dark
The kind of pain that rips me apart
When there’s nothing left to say and nothing I can do
The world can fall away, You’re my only Truth
I still have You (Oh I still have you)
I still have You
