JOURNEY

Half the world is sleeping,
half the world's awake
half can hear their hearts beat
half just hear them break

I am but a traveler, in most every way
Ask me what you want...to know

What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way

When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been.

I have been to sorrow
I have been to bliss
Where I'll be tomorrow,
I can only guess

Through the darkest desert
Through the deepest snow,
Forward always forward, I go..

What a journey it has been
and the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way

When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been...

Forward, always forward...
Onward, always up...
Catching every drop of hope
In my empty cup

What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way

When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been...

What a journey it has been...

“the Way to my heart “

You’re the one
You set my free
When you’re close to me
All that I do
Is think about a way
To make you stay
With me
Baby I’m falling apart
‘Cause you know the way to my heart

Oh baby
I knew it
The moment you looked in my eyes
My life was in your hands
You changed me
Complete
Now you say you want to let go
Of the love we had
I just don’t want to loose you again
Baby I want you to know (know that)

You’re the one
You set my free

When you’re close to me
All that I do
Is think about a way
To make you stay
With me
Baby I’m falling apart
‘Cause you know the way to my heart

Oh baby
If only
You could see the way that I feel
About you
‘Cause I need you
Beside me
Is there anything I can say
Before you walk away?
I just don’t want to loose you again
Baby I want you to know (know that)

You’re the one
You set my free
When you’re close to me
All that I do
Is think about a way
To make you stay
With me

Baby I’m falling apart
‘Cause you know the way to my heart

What am I gonna do
No I just cannot live
I can’t breathe without (without you)
I want you back in my life
And I wanna set things right
You know the way to my heart
Baby

You’re the one
You set my free
When you’re close to me
All that I do
Is think about a way
To make you stay
With me
You know the way to my heart

You’re the one
You set my free
When you’re close to me
All that I do
Is think about a way
To make you stay
With me
Baby I’m falling apart
You know the way to my heart

“Teenage drama queen (that girl)”

There was a girl I knew
Who always wanted to
Be the one to stand out from the crowd
Always believed that she
Was gonna live for dreams
That what went down was gonna come around

For all the doubters, non-believers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days you’ll open up your eyes
And you’ll realize

That girl was a one-time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe
But she’ll have changed her destiny
Now she’s a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she’ll find herself
’cause she believes in nothing else
Then you’ll look back when you won’t believe
That girl was me

Armed with an attitude that she knows how to use
She’s gonna get there any way she can
Now she knows what she wants
No one is gonna stop her
Nothing’s ever gonna hold her back

For all the doubters, non-believers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days you’ll know that you were wrong
Who would’ve known?

That girl was a one-time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe
But she’ll have changed her destiny
Now she’s a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she’ll find herself
’cause she believes in nothing else
Then you’ll look back when you won’t believe
That girl was me

Life is a work of art
You gotta paint it colorful
Can make it anything you want
Don’t ever stick to any rules
You don’t need a high IQ
To succeed in what you do
You just gotta have no doubt
Just believe in yourself

Doubters, non-believers
Once were her dreamers
One of these days you’ll open up your eyes
And you’ll realize

That girl was a one-time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe
But she’ll have changed her destiny
Now she’s a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she’ll find herself
’cause she believes in nothing else
Then you’ll look back when you won’t believe
That girl was me

That girl was a one-time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe
But she’ll have changed her destiny
Now she’s a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she’ll find herself
’cause she believes in nothing else
Then you’ll look back when you won’t believe
That girl was me

100 YEARS

I’m 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I’m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I’m 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we’re on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I’m 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I’m a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I’m 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I’m heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there’s still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I’m all right with you
15, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We’re moving on…
I’m 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I’m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there’s still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day’s a new day…
15 there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

“A voice within”

Young girl, don’t cry
I’ll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it’s all right
Your tears will dry, you’ll soon be free to fly

When you’re safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing’s harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there’s no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Young girl, don’t hide
You’ll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
And soon you’re gonna see your brighter day

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It’s so hard to stand your ground when you’re so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you’re lost outside look inside to your soul

When there’s no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Yeah…
Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you’re learning
You’ll find all you’ll ever need to know

You’ll make it
You’ll make it
Just don’t go forsaking yourself
No one can stop you
You know that I’m talking to you

When there’s no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Young girl don’t cry
I’ll be right here when your world starts to fall

“Reflection”

Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you’ll never know me
Every day
It’s as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What’s inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don’t know?
Must I pretend that I’m
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There’s a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why

Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I’m forced to hide?
I won’t pretend that I’m
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

“The warrior is a child”

Lately I’ve been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I’m amazing
Strong beyond my years
But they don’t see inside of me
I’m hiding all the tears
And they don’t know that I go running home when I fall down
They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
‘Cause deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
Unafraid because His armor is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I’m amazing
Never face retreat
But they don’t see the enemies
That lay me at His feet
And they don’t know that I go running home when I fall down
They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
‘Cause deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
And they don’t know that I go running home when I fall down
They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and look up for a smile
‘Cause deep inside this armor
Deep inside this armor
Deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
