Be Yourself
In the deepest, in the darkest
where the thoughts of pain are starkest...
With the knowledge, with the terror
and the thought that life's an error...
Find a reason, find excuses
for the right to all life's truces
And in the darkest place of lies
close your ears, open your eyes

In The Darkest Place
In the darkest place
I know
That is where youll find me
Even though you didnt have to remind me
I shut out the lights
Your eyes adjust
Theyll never be the same
You know I love you so
Lets start again
Since you put me down
It seems
Ive been very gloomy
You may laugh, but pretty girls look right through me
They dont sense the faintest glimmering
That is the torch I bear
Theres light enough for me to find my way
But I only have to tell myself that by now
You could be with someone else
Is there light beneath your door and
Laughter from within?
Do your friends come around
Saying, try to find another lover?
He wont love you like I do
In the darkest place
Im lost
I have abandoned every hope
Maybe youll understand I must
Shut out the light
Your eyes adjust
Theyll never be the same
You know I love you so
Lets start again
Do your friends come around
Saying, try to find another lover?
He wont love you like I do
In the darkest place
That is where youll find me
In the darkest place
That is where youll find me

You And You Alone
when this old world gets me down and life's a chain i drag around, when i can't
find a ray of hope to help me sooth my worried soul, only you and you alone.
can turn the darkest night into dawn, the only reason for hanging on, is you
and you alone.
Holding you close to me, gives me all the strength i need, then i wake up it's
just a deam, all that's left are memories, of only you and you alone, to turn
the darkest night into dawn, the only reason for hanging on, is you and you
alone, My only reason for hanging on, is your and your alone

Giving Up Hurts The Most
Angels mourn crying, praying for your soul
As my eyes open from their state of sleep i feel my blood
Turn into a frozen river
Nightmares so close death was in the air
My heart locked shut, and i gave you the key
Promise never to leave
As lies hold me emptiness fills my broken heart
Screaming your name hoping for a response, silence summer
Drowned by winter
To look in your face and realized the time we spent the chances i
Had have drifted away from my fingertips
Your life, your thoughts, your dreams, your love
Never tried my hardest and now i cray as the hurt enters
I love you and i still love you
Even though i never showed it
A piece of me is gone forever
Clutching memories held so close
Repeating words of love spoken to late
My eyes look all around but all they can focus on is you
For in you i find me
Days past by and thy death still lingers
This coldness will never satisfy me
I want to be surrounded by angels in a place
Where the sun is so warm it burns my insides
Surrounded by angels
Where love takes my darkest depressions
And throws it into the deepest of sea
A place i can call home, i'm crying to you Jesus
Mend me, break me, make me
You're all i've got now
My eyes look all around but all they can focus on is you
For in you i find me
arewell my friend your time has come
And never will i be able to tell you I love you again..

Stronger Than The Night
(graham russell, michael sherwood, david young)
Tonite you are the world to me, part of the mystery
And we dont need a reason to love
Say youll never go, thats all I need to know
And when you close your eyes, Ill still be here
And if the world falls
You will be the only reason to love
Ill find my way
One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night
If you hold me now, all that I feel is yours
Cos youre the only reason to love
What you are to me, is all that you need to be
And when you touch the stars, I will be there
And when the world falls away
I will be your only reason to love
Ill find my way
One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night
One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night

Darkest Days
I used to walk around
thinking of what not was to be
no light would never shine
this blood in my hands was only mine
as I watched my soul bleed
you could give me nothing I need
I thought the weight of this world
kept me chained to this wall
careless whispers that wouldn't mend
in these darkest days, I lost it all
nothng was left inside my mind
there was nothing left to feel
Memories were left far behind
blowing in this lonely wind
it all turned into dust
to everything I use to trust
these darkest days, nothing was real
mercy was standing here next to me
only to watch me crawl
I was searching for something I couldn't find
losing myself down this endless highway
felt the pain that would never ease
I never thought it would go away
as I fell to my knees
looking for the answers that I never found
Sown shut my eyes
to this place so full of lies
it was the only way to forget
tomorrow was just a reflection of today
everything here now is gone
Promises made, only meant to broken
in a world rotting in disgust
your words so full of shit
now means nothing as you disdain
your lips move, but nothing is spoken
these darkest days, life is just a loaded gun
when all is said and done

Away From The Sun
Its down to this
Ive got to make this life make sense
Can anyone do what Ive done
I missed life
I missed the colours of the world
Can anyone go where I am
cause now again Ive found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
Im so far down, away from the sun again
Away from the sun again
Im over this
Im tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feelings gone
Theres nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world Ive known
cause now again Ive found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
Im so far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
Im so far down, away from the sun again
Its down to this
Ive got to make this life make sense
And now I cant do what Ive done
And now again Ive found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
cause now again Ive found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
Im so far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
Im so far down, away from the sun again

Anyone
Fate took a freeway to my room
Said to much while he stayed
And left too soon.
Bright on an evening sea,
He washed in with the tide
Deep in each others dreams
Where all but dreams had died.
Wretched in your thoughts
Gentle hate within the love you bought.
Words fade like flowers shadowed
There beneath your wall
Wind cries from every angle
Dead leaves left to wait for fall.
And in my darkest hour
When I can find no light
My goals are out of sight
And nothing warms the night.
I close my eyes
And with such sweet surprise
I can be anywhere
I can be anyone.
And in my darkest hour
When I can find no light
My goals are out of sight
And nothing warms the night.
I close my eyes
And with such sweet surprise
I can be anywhere
I can be anything
I can be anyone
I can be anyone.

In My Darkest Hour
In my hour of need
Ha [no] youre not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldnt lend a hand.
Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me.
Did you ever think I get lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
Youre the only one that Im thinking of.
Youll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too.
Things will be better when Im dead and gone
Dont try to understand, knowing you Im probably wrong.
But oh how I lived my life for you
Still youd turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise you head, raise your face your eyes
Tell me who you think you are, who?
I walk, I walk alone
Into the promised land.
Theres a better place for me
But its far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first,
Please God send me on my way.
Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt be fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you, alone so alone, Im lost
Consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain.
Wont you hold me again
You just laughed, ha ha, bitch
My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away.
In my darkest hour.

In the year of fourteen ninety-two
When columbus sailed the ocean blue
Had he landed on indias shore
You might never have come to knock on my door.
Who needs a rhyme or a reason
Some dreams were made to find
So I know that I must follow
Ask me just how much I love you
You are starlight, Im galileo
Even on the darkest night oh
I will find the shining light of our love.
Through the rain clouds thundering nights
Mr. franklin stood there holding his kite
He was crazy always pressing his luck
But he got what he wanted when lightning struck, yeah.
Who needs a rhyme or a reason
Some dreams were made to find
So I know that I must follow

Ask me just how much I love you
You are starlight, Im galileo
Even on the darkest night oh
I will find the shining light of our love.
I believe in you and the special love we could share
And maybe one day darling youll turn around
And all I really know is I will be there.
Who needs a rhyme or a reason
This dream was made to find

Ask me just how much I love you
You are starlight, Im galileo

Still Night
In the still night,
In the deepest, darkest night,
Where there is no night....
Monsters lurk.
In the still night, where
Not even a streetlight cast shadows,
Where there is no moonlight...
Monsters lurk.
In the still night,
in the darkest night,
Under the sheltering trees...
Monsters lurk...
For where there is no light,
In the deepest, darkest night
Where there's not even candlelight,
Monsters lurk!
In the deepest, darkest night,
Where there is no light...
Under my bed, or in my head - -
Monsters lurk!

The Glory Of Life
(Chris Farren/Beth Nielsen Chapman/Annie Roboff)
Safe in the eye of the storm
Mercy and faith keep me warm
Oh the dreams I've seen tattered and torn
Just when I think I can't take anymore
You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Cause its a long road through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight
Of the glory of life
High is this mountain I climb
Deep is this river of time
The devils got trouble in mind
Sometimes I stumble
But you're there to remind me
Standing right there beside me
You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Cause its a long road through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight
Of the glory of life
This world has left me tangled up inside
No where left to hide
And the wind and rain
Is baring down on me
(Baring down, wearing down on me)
You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight
You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Cause its a long road through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight
Of the glory of life

Mi Chico Latino
Donde esta el hombre
con fuego en la sangre
Ive got a secret.I cannot keep it
Its just a wisper of a distant memory
Just a dream or so it seams
Take me back to the place id rather be
You left a fire in my eyes
That lightens up the darkest skies
I'm giving up im letting go
I'll find my way so
[Chorus]
Take me back to my sweet lavida
Find my love my dolce vita
Show me where i need to go
Donde esta mi chico latino
La la la la
Ay-y-y-ay
La la la
Stolen moments time has broken
My eyes ares open to this life-long mistery
And so i'll go with what i know
Take my chances and run with destiny
Now there's fire in my eyes
I'll break away and say goodbye
I'm free to be im letting go
I'll find my way so
[Repeat chorus]

Into the darkness of His hand
In the deepest valley and the darkest night
There is a hand that holds my hand
And like a child I know not my way
All I know is with whom I stand
There seems to be no way ahead
And the road before me is crumbling
My hand is in my Fathers hand
It is all that keeps me from stumbling
You dare not look to you left or right
For it falls away to the dark abyss
And the path it seems to have come to an end
Yet my hand is held tightly in His
Just when I need my senses the most
And I must not be taken by surprise
I feel my hand in my Fathers hand
And He says ' my son, close your eyes.'
And my head screams out ' you'll fall and die, '
Yet my heart feels my hand in His hand
And the Lord says ' trust in me,
Shut you eyes and together we'll stand'
And so fear and doubt gave way to trust
I closed my eyes and held His hand tight
He led me through the deepest valley
He led me through the darkest night

Unmask Me
Although for the world,
for all the people that I meet
I carry a mask that protects me
to Your eye there is nothing that is covering
and every thought, every deed
lies open to Your scrutiny
and I beg for Your mercy,
for Your selfless love
that You brake down any wall
that divides us, that You’re light
may find even the darkest places,
where I have been hiding.

I've been fallin' apart at the seams
But it's not as it seems
Broken pieces around at my feet

And I'm still runnin' after it
Yeah

The Moral Breakdown
Crushing silent envy holds you
On the other side
Worlds away I listen for your voice
Hear nothing but old words echoing through my mind
I long for new words, new touches to hold us
It's been so long since our bodies entwined
In darkest secret shame
Behind closed doors the lies could protect us
Encase the truth until it was invisible
And we became invisible
Then I lost the touch and all was lost
I lost the touch of incorruptible love
Of purest desire, crystal pain
And you were lost again
Please find me here and hold me
In darkest secret games
And golden touch shall hold me close
And save me once again.

Someday You Will
By michael mcdonald and bernie chiaravalle
Behind us now lies a long bending road
And at this point we wonder what we need to be
All this way like a single heart
Just so you know nothings really changed for me
For so long I watched you shine your light
I know hope is hard to find right now (but)
Someday you will
Someday you will
In every life the darkest days seem so long
Till the fear fades like the waning tide
The mornin comes when the din in your head subsides
Just enough for the quiet voice inside
To point the way to the place where your strength lies
Though it might take a while to find
Someday you will...
On that day youll spread your wings and fly
Although now you may not know why
Someday you will...

Little Lies
If I could turn the page
In time then Id rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldnt find a way
So Ill settle for one day to believe in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you cant disguise
(you cant disguise, no you cant disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
Although Im not making plans
I hope that you understand theres a reason why
Close your, close your, close your eyes
No more broken hearts
Were better off apart lets give it a try
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

Oh, no, no you cant disguise

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
If I could turn the page

Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldnt find a way
So Ill settle for one day to believe in you

Darkest Hour
I have trained everyone in my life,
to hear the stories of being a wife.....
Happiness is fleeting mist,
wiggles in,
then drifts.
I've come to realize,
just this.....
each moment,
each memory,
each lie,
each touch,
each deception,
each battle,
each scar,
each game,
each.......
It's just life!
So many moments,
heavy my soul,
I don't know how to get up,
where do I go? ? ?
I'm afraid I have lost myself forever,
the burdens,
the pain,
the wanting,
the mistrust....
Stupid people seeing me...
only for lust.
Seeing you again,
scarred me deep inside,
knowing that you only want to be back for pride....
remembering me...
a bride....
my hurting child,
nowhere to hide....
comfort,
I cannot find...
I'm in my darkest hour...
my friends are tired,
my family cannot answer me,
no where in my life am I free......
I ache,
screaming.....only inside,
because of my pride...
this hurt...
I will hide...
no one...
no one can see my darkest hour: (
