Not Going Down
(Shaunna Bolton/Kevin Savigar)
I woke up today with a headache
More bills to pay than a corporation
Hey, when will it end
My mirror says I could use a break
An easy day, some appreciation
Hey how 'bout a friend
When days like these start to fall in on me
I gotta face my reflection and say...hey
Chorus:
Been burned by the fire
Been stuck under water
Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around
Been tossed like a free throw
Knocked out when the wind blows
Pull the curtain on the hurtin'
'Cause I'm not going down
(I'm not going down no no)
Inside of me is the only
Highway that leads to a true freedom
Holding out it's hand
I close my eyes and it's all right
The sun will shine on a new horizon
Just around the bend
Days like these bring out the strength in me
So I can face my reflection and say...
Repeat chorus
I still get dizzy and frantic, lonely and paniced
But next time I won't let it beat me, no
I can see clearly, I know who I am
And that's how I know I've begun living
Repeat chorus (out)

The Answer
I lie awake deep in the night,
Ooh thinking bout you always.
But time can paralyse,
Ive been lonely too long.
(CHORUS)
Im changing my life, looking for a reason to love.
Girl, take a look and maybe youll find,
That the answer to your heart is in mine.
Oh girl, you are the one, thats holding the fire.
Oh these feeling burning inside,
When I see the same in your eyes.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Woa, looking for the words to say, Im lost in your world.
Now I wanna live for my dream baby.
Oh we cant turn away from the feeling inside,
When I see the same in your eyes.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
The answer to your heart is in mine

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes
Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

True To Yourself
verse 1:
somewhere in the distance
i can see a mirror of myself
who i hope to be someday
finding my reflection always there
but made so hard to see
when it's so clear
clear to me, that
pre-chorus:
when the water rises
reach for higher ground
lose your fear of flying
leave your doubts up in the clouds
chorus:
sometimes you gotta work
a little harder
sometimes you gotta be
a bit smarter
hold on just a little bit longer
just be true to yourself
at time you'll be the only one standing
don't matter if you say you don't fit in
don't try to be anyone else
just be true to yourself
verse 2:
somewhere in the future
for sure the past will come
to show its face
when it reflects what will you say
be sure there's an answer
we have learned from our mistakes
gotta do your best to change today
repeat pre-chorus and chours
bridge:
we all fall, we all cry
everybody, hurts sometimes
we all lose, we all win
we all try again
hey, hey yeah

Dance Hall Days
(jack hues)
Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high hand stand
Take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel
Chorus:
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When i, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said
Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there there there
Take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears
Repeat chorus
So take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you

Happy Ending
i may be a princess to you
but youre not a prince to me
no use rescuing me from a tower
im not there to be reascued too
my king youll never be
i dont believe in never say never
cant you see what im saying
[pre-chorus]
now is not the time
there is no time for you
oh
[chorus]
theres no time for your happy ending
youre happy ending is long gone and forgotten
its worth nothin'
mines worth somethin'
that love you sent isnt sending
like i said theres no time for your happy ending
some days ill try to break free
of this misery
some days ill try to find
a thought swarming in my mind
to say to you
i dont know what to do
[repeat pre-chorus and chorus]
there must be something going on
this dumb thing is making me run
what is that called again
oh yes a rumor
it must end sooner
ive counted rumors up to ten
[repeat pre-chorus and chorus]
you cant be happy when there is no happiness
you cant be angry when there is no angryness
you cant be sad when there is no sadness
you cant be mad when there is no madness
in the air
please dont look and stare
at me
please
[repeat pre-chorus and chorus]
no time i said for your happy ending

Fire And Rain
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this mornin' and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
[chorus]
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you like down upon me Jesus
You gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin'and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way
[chorus]
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walkin' my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and fine machines in pieces on the ground
[chorus]
Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things comin' my way this time around
Thought I'd see, thought I'd see you...

Everytime
In a little while Verse One
I'll be on my way
Got no words to express
What I need to say
Every time I think about the first time Chorus
We said hello
You know when you know
You never let go
It's just not my style Verse Two
Something I can't do
After all this time
I'm scared of losing you
(Repeat chorus)
Is there anything Verse Three
You could let me know
Surely you could find me
A reason not to go
(Repeat chorus)
After everything Verse Four
We've been going through
I'm so up and down
So dizzy and blue

Let me one more time Verse Five
Look into your eyes
I remember when
There were no goodbyes

What A Life
(graham russell)
Love comes to everyone
Some are weak, some strong
I'm not strong today
They've took her back
Brought the curtain down
What can i do now
I'm afraid
I'm afraid to think about it
(chorus)
What a life
It gets better as it goes along
What a life
It gets better as it goes along
I've been in love
Been left standing
Till i say is that what i want
Oh no there's got to be another smile on my face
I don't care about the money i make
Or what it can do
I'm alive and that's what's important to me
I don't need someone to tell me you'll get along
Who to please, who to watch over me
(chorus)
(repeat)
There's an old man
Been calling me for a long time
Never able to get his face off my mind
He always said to me take it easy, take it easy
And all the things you want will come easy
Take it easy
What a life
What a life

He always said to me take it easy, take it easy
And all the things you want will come easy
Take it easy
What a life
What a life

You touch my hand, and the burdens start to fall
You ease my troubled mind, I love you more each time

cause I cant miss the bad luck thats fallin from the sky

Slay the plague for it's contagious

Trapped Within My Reflection
Standing here stairing into this mirror
My reflection stairing back at me
A tear dropp falls down its cheek
Wiping my face but nothing there
The mirror begins to cloud
My reflection starts to shiver
Placing my hand on this now cold surface
My reflection slowly places his hand against mine
My reflection breathes onto the mirror
As writting appears 'HELP ME'
My mind telling me its not real
But my eyes never fail
My heart beats faster
My soul trapped within this mirror
All along, here in front of me
Stairing me in the face
My reflection banging for freedom
Seems so real as the mirror shakes
Suddenly overcome with this strange feeling
I throw my fist to the mirror
Cracks begin to form
As my reflection stands still and smiles
Shattering into a million pieces
A sensation feeling travels through my body
Looking down i see my reflection
Tainted red as blood falls
A shard of mirror stuck in my hand
A message appears
'You Freed Me - You Freed Your Soul'
Heaven Only Knows
(heaven only knows...)
Oh, I know its strange
But I think that its about to change
So Ill take the chance
To get back into the straight again
Chorus:
Heaven only knows (Im really on the level)
Heaven only knows (Im trying to find a way)
Heaven only knows (Im walking down the straight & lonely road today)
(again...)
(heaven only knows...)
Now the sun will shine
And Im gonna work it out this time
And before the light
All I gotta take is one more night.
Repeat chorus
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows.
(heaven only knows)
As the hours go by
I can only wonder why
You can change your mind
But you never change the price.
Repeat chorus
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows.
