Just Being Me
Listen to my heart
And the song it sings
Telling me to be strong
For a minute
Master of my fate
Captain of my soul
I know where I belong
For a minute
Let yourself grow
But don’t ever change
Nor apologise
For a minute
I’m just being me, me
I’m just being me, me
I’m just being me
I’m not pre fect
And I’ll never be
But I’ll flight for all to see
That this time I’m just being me
Celebrate yourself
And what you’ve become
Follow your inner light
For a minute
Cultivate your mind
Speak words of wisdom
And you will shine
For a minute
So if this is my freedom
Then I don’t want for nothing else
I just need time, oh I just need time
In this cold world
That’s trying to make me someone else
Oh I just need time, time to just be myself

Promises
We’re no longer asleep
And we will mend our broken dreams
Cos we found our way
To move on to a better place
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
You sold us hopes and dreams
The likes that we’ve never seen
Said a change is gonna come
Not just for me but everyone
And we pray and pray on bended knees
Believing you will set us free
But I’m glad that I know
To run far away from you
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
To me, to them, my friends, you see, you see
To me, to them, my friends, you see, you see yeah
Nearly every men, woman or child can stand adversity
But if you want to test man's character
Give him power, give him power, give him power
We gave you power to lead
Not to abuse us out of greed
We put our trust in you
You fed us lies and not the truth
Please don't pretending that you care
Give us back our stolen years
But I’m glad that I know
To run far away from you
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
To me, to them, my friends, you see, you see yeah
To me, to them, my friends, you see yeah, you see yeah
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
To me, to them, my friends, you see, you see yeah
To me, to them, my friends, you see, you see yeah

This Ain't Living

This Ain't Living
We are still only slaves
In a world with open gates
Close your eyes then you’ll see
What it means to be free
This ain’t living
This ain’t living no, no, no
We belong to a state
That whispers not love but hate
You can choose to fall in line
Or try real hard to see the signs
This ain’t living
This ain’t living no, no, no
It’s about time
That we need
A revolution of the mind
It’s about time
That we need
A revolution of the mind
This ain’t living
This ain’t living no, no, no
Whilst we stand on freedom’s shore
Praying for one of them brand new storms
I can feel it so can you
But the question is what are we gonna do
This ain’t living
This ain’t living no, no, no
It’s about time
That we need
A revolution of the mind
It’s about time
That we need
A revolution of the mind
This ain’t living
This ain’t living no, no, no

For You
Oh yes I was lost
Didn’t know who I was
Then you came into my life
Gave me reason to fight
Helped me find my freedom
When all else was gone
Now that I have found my voice
I'll use it to change my world
My dream their for you, their for you
All of my dreams their for you, their for you
Willing to accept your purpose
Yeah I'm willing to accept
I feel alive again
No longer carry this pain
Food for my soul

My dream their for you, their for you
All of my dreams their for you, their for you
Time stands still
When I’m loving with you

Land Of Paradise

Land Of Paradise
The is no such place so I’ve been told
Because, if there was we would have found it by now
It is just a dream son, just a dream that lives in our minds
Constructed by the world that plays out before us
A dream that will never come to light, like a dying star in a galaxy far, far away from here
Distant galaxy that can only be imagined, because that’s all we can do
We are far away, away from home
And my memories ain’t what they use to be
But I still believes in the power of love
So I’ll show the world that the is nothing wrong
To be seen a child of this universe
Some day we'll find
Some day we'll find
Our land of paradise
Well I choose to hope for more
Like a hungry child begging for life, begging for a better tomorrow
Because, tomorrow doesn't belong to me, you or them, it belongs to the future, it belongs to our children
Tomorrow is a place that has to be better than today
Where all mans differences can be celebrated
Celebrated like a brand new day that promises a chance to make a change
I speak for my generation
And celebrate what we will become
Let’s build upon our freedom song
And show the world that the is nothing wrong
To be seen a child of this universe
Some day we'll find
Some day we'll find
Some day we'll find
Some day we'll find
Our land of paradise

I Belong To You
I belong to you
You belong to me
Through the good times and bad
We'll always be
Runaway with me into the sun
You’ll be my queen and I your king
Grow old together in each others arms
Let’s laugh my friend until the end
I belong to you
You belong to me
Through the good times and bad
We'll always be
Lord only knows what we’ll become
But I’m ready to take the chance
I’ve found in you the perfect one
That holds the key to unlock my heart
I belong to you
You belong to me
Through the good times and bad
We'll always be
Let’s build this home with love and joy
A place to be happy and free
What we’ve found is gold can’t be destroyed
Seasons will come but we’ll never change
Lovers in a world of broken hearts
I'll follow you until the end of time
Part of my dreams are made of you
You love me true in all you do

Forget Me Not
Memories erased from your beautiful mind
We never knew life could be so unkind
My lovers soul is lost to her past
All the wonderful times we always thought would last
Hey there my love it's me yet again
Let's take a walk down memory lane
We'll sit in a fields of forget me not’s
I'll remind you of the world you forgot
I’ll wait patiently in a corner of your mind
Praying for one more minute of your time
Hey there my love it's me yet again
Let's take a walk down memory lane
We'll sit in a fields of forget me not’s
I'll remind you of the world you forgot
Time is the enemy but times were once good
Come with me and lets re-visit our love
Hey there my love it's me yet again
Let's take a walk down memory lane
We'll sit in a fields of forget me not’s
I'll remind you of the world you forgot
Hey there my love it's me, it's me, oh it's me

Missing You
I’m now just an echo
Of the man I use to be
Slowly fading away
Like a distant memory
I’m left with only kisses
I can no longer touch
And the deepest of feelings
How I loved you so much
If it’s love that is missing
I don’t want to be missing you no no
If it’s love that is missing
How come I’m still missing you
Oh I’ve tried to forget you
Now am loving someone-else
It’s hard to replace you
When I'm under your spell
I’ve never felt this lonely
Like a bird without a song
So help me stop these tears form falling
Falling
You have stolen my heart
And now I need it back
To rebuild the rest of me
And what love I had
Just an ocean of nothing
Stands between us
And the saddest regret
Why I loved you so much
If it’s love that is missing
I don’t want to be missing you no no
If it’s love that is missing
How come I’m still missing you
How come I’m still missing you
How come I’m still missing you
If it’s love that is missing
I don’t want to be missing you no no
If it’s love that is missing baby
How come I’m still missing you
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Yeah alright
How come I’m still missing you
Right on baby yeah
How come I’m still missing you
How come I’m still missing you

Empty Road
Oh lord I need you
Oh lord I need you by my side
Just give me hope
On this empty road
Just give me hope
On this empty road
Darkness will come
Darkness will come
On this empty road
Just give me hope
On this empty road
Just give me hope
On this empty road
I stand before you
A desperate man
As I start this journey
On this empty road
Just give me hope
On this empty road
Just give me hope
On this empty road
I’ve come this far
And I won’t turn back
As I start this journey
On this empty road
Just give me hope
On this empty road
Just give me hope
On this empty road
Cos my demons wait for me
At my down fall
The stars are closer than they seem
So I hold on to my dreams
I hold on to my dreams
These stars are closer than they seem
So I let go of my fear
And only hold on to my dreams
Help me find reason
For this love I have
As I start this journey
On this empty road
Just give me hope
On this empty road
Just give me hope
On this empty road
I feel a fake
Amongst my kings
As I start this journey
On this empty road
Just give me hope
On this empty road
Just give me hope
On this empty road
Cos my demons wait for me
At my down fall
The stars are closer than they seem
So I hold on to my dreams
I hold on to my dreams
These stars are closer than they seem
So I let go of my fear
And only hold on to my dreams
