Cut The Cake

Verse 1
You display dedication
To many things that you do
Your commitment has always been sincere
It shows me that you really care

Verse 2
If there's a problem to solve
You get down to it
Even if the odds are against you
Challenges may seem insurmountable
You're always ready to tackle on something new

Bridge 1
I have never known anyone
Who is as optimistic as you are
You know what you want
And you go out and get it
Even when some people try to discourage you

Bridge 2
You're a good person
Don't be modest about it
Your heart is always in the right place
If everyone were more like you
There wouldn't be any lazy people

Bridge 3
You can have your cake and eat it too
You are honest in every thing that you do
You show gratitude, you show compassion
The love inside of you has made you strong

Bridge 4
Cut the cake, it's time to celebrate
Don't ever be ashamed of who you are

Chorus
Cut the cake, it's time to celebrate
You have achieved success
Your accomplishments are remarkable
As well as your work ethic
You never give up, you work real hard
You're an inspiration to many
Don't ever be ashamed of who you are

Flying On My Own

Verse 1
From the very moment I was born
You have loved me
Everything you did was for me
And I want to thank you
You were always there for me
Even when I got into trouble
I knew that I could count on you
And I still do even to this day

Verse 2
I feel as free
When I fly around many things I dreamed about
I experience many things life has to offer
I am touched by the beauty of it
Sometimes I cry when I think about the memories of you and I
It comforts me deep inside

Bridge
I have gained knowledge from you
I have acquired wisdom
The joy inside of my heart
Spreads through me entirely
Without your guidance, without your endless love
I would not know how to spread my wings
I would not be flying on my own

Chorus 1
I am flying on my own
You nurtured me, you encouraged me
To spread my wings and fly through the sky
I know who I am inside
I know my strengths and weaknesses
I will fly way up high
With you always in mind

Chorus 2
I am flying on my own
You nurtured me, you encouraged me
To spread my wings and fly through the sky
I know who I am inside
I know my strengths and weaknesses
I will fly way up high
With you always in mind
I will be just fine whenever I am
I know this because you told me so

The Colour Within Me

Verse 1
I have tried to get myself out of the hole
That I've been in for such a long time
When I take a step up
I take two steps down
At this point, I have given up

Verse 2
What's the point of dreaming
If it won't become real
What's the point of wishing
If it won't come true
What's the point of asking for help
If no one will lend a hand

Bridge 1
Black represents a deep void
I have always felt in my life
Blue expresses my sadness
Grey shows the confusion I feel

Bridge 2
When life gives you lemons
You can't always turn them into lemonade
So why insist on changing what you can't change
It's a waste of time
I am apathetic towards many things people deem important

Chorus
The colour within me is black
The colour within me is blue
The colour within me is grey
Nothing matters to me anymore
Life is so depressing

Who'll Stop The Rain?

Verse 1
Who's my friend? Who's my foe?
Show yourselves to me and let me know
Who tells the truth? Who tells lies?
Show yourselves to me, not your disguises
Who is a liberal? Who is a conservative?
Show yourselves to me and your motives
Who is greedy? Who is generous?
Show yourselves to me and let me know

Verse 2
What does life have in store for me?
If I could know, I would be more prepared
Will I ever find true love?
If I do, will it be sent from up above?
Where will I spend most of my time?
What would happen if I bet my last dime?
When will I be free of the danger that surrounds me?

Bridge
Who can I turn to?
Who should I run from?
Who can I talk to?
Who should I stay away from?

Chorus
Who'll stop the rain from falling on me?
Who'll take away my pain?
Who'll teach me not to become vain?
Who'll prevent me from acting insane at any time?

Takin' It To The Streets

Verse 1
Rich man, poor man
Good cop, bad cop and a criminal
In an interrogation room
Sweet old lady, mean teenage girl
Who thinks the world revolves around her
Let me tell you that it does not
It never has and it never will
That is the way things are
Don't get angry at me
I've got a message for all of you
So listen very closely
Life is what you want it to be

Verse 2
Illegal alien, undocumented worker
Or whatever they call you
Stop hiding in the shadows
Tell the nation that you are here
And you refuse to leave
Demand equal rights
If the authorities don't handle the drug problem
In your neighbourhood
Start a community coalition
That will drive the dealers out of there
Once and for all
Power exist in every one of us

Bridge 1
Stand up for what you believe in
Protect anything that is endangered
If you think politicians and the police
Will always be there for you
Then you are foolishly mistaken

Bridge 2
Special interests and lobbyists are powerful
Because we allow them to be
It's time that we stop complaning
We have to act now for the best interest of all
Everything you do or don't do affects everyone
Because we are all connected
If you don't believe me
Well you have the right not to
I'm just telling you how I see things

Chorus 1
I'm takin' it to the streets
Everyone will hear what I have to say
This is our world
So we must reclaim democracy

Chorus 2
I'm takin' it to the streets
Everyone will hear what I have to say
This is our world
So we must reclaim democracy
The sooner, the better
Let it spread like a wildfire
The world is what you want it to be

Smooth

Verse 1
You have a smell that is intoxicating
It is the kind that drives me over the edge
When I get wrapped up in the scent
It feels like I fall into ta pool of pleasure
I swim around for hours on end
Losing track of time is what you make me do
When I go to sleep, I dream about you
You rock my world
Baby, you really do

Verse 2
Time stops every time you look at me
I get lost in your alluring eyes
And when you look away
The hold you have on me slips away
You make me feel like walking on thin ice
I feel so lucky that I don't need a dice
The beat of my heart is blaring out
I am unable to tone it down

Bridge
Yo are hotter than July
I need you to quench my thirst
Fill me up with the coolness of you
Dry me off with your hands

Chorus
You're smooth just like silk
I want to touch you all over
You are so beautiful
I just can't look away
You're smooth just like silk
I want to touch you all over
You are so beautiful

Step By Step

Verse 1
Things change but some things never do
I'm wide awake
You thought that I would play the fool
I've got a ride out of this miserable town
Everything I didn't take
Was meant to be left behind

Verse 2
I didn't like it when I was pushed around
The space between you and I needs to get wider
It's such a thrill to know
That I'm leaving this town
Everything I didn't like
Was meant to be left behind

Bridge
The journey that I'm on is an endless one
I will get to know myself
And appreciate everything that I am

Chorus
Step by step I am changing
Step by step I'm looking onwards to the future
Step by step I'm becoming wiser
Step by step I'm forgetting about my past
Step by step I will be far away from you

Be Here Soon

Verse 1
I hope that you'll be here soon
I cannot live another day without you
These times are confusing
These times are frustrating
My mind aches for you

Verse 2
There is nothing but pouring rain falling down on me
I think I'm going insane
These times are troublesome
These times are lonesome
My heart aches for you

Bridge
I never thought that I would ever be alone
I always assumed you would be with me
Maybe this is a lesson for me to learn
Not to take you for granted
If that is the case, I promise I never will

Chorus 1
Be here soon, right by my side
Be here soon, fill me with pride

Chorus 2
Be here soon, right by my side
Be here soon, fill me with pride
Be here soon, keep me alive

The Song Lives On

Verse 1
The Barenaked Ladies will be here on one week
According to Jann Arden you are insensitive
Christina Aguilera knows that she is beautiful
Like Madonna, I believe music makes people come together
Bryan Adams is till stuck in the summer of '69

Verse 2
Corey Hart never surrenders
Like Alanis Morissette, I think some things are ironic
Sheryl Crow is my favourite mistake
Maybe Janet Jackson wants to runaway
Missy Elliot doesn't like gossip folks
Snow used to be an informer
Now he has reinvented himself

Bridge
Sky sang a love song
Sarah McLachlan has been touched by an angel
Tom Cochrane says life is a highway
Celine Dion has felt the power of love
Their songs live on
Forever and for always

Chorus
The song lives on in our hearts and memory
The lyrics have never been forgotten
We remember where we were when we heard the tune
And what we were doing
And if we were with someone
When we hear the song it brings us back in time
Flashes of the past appear in our mind
We start to sing along, even dance along
The beat goes on, the song lives on

Brand New Man

Verse 1
I'm a brand new man
I have left my old life behind
I no longer smoke
I don't drink alcohol
I even go to church

Verse 2
The rain has washed over me
It cleansed my soul, it renewed my faith
I acquired knowledge about so many things
I truly have been blessed

Bridge
I envision all my tomorrows
With better clarity than before
I see myself living the life
I've always dreamed of
Words cannot describe how I feel inside

Chorus 1
I'm a brand new man
I'm taking a stand for what's important in my life
I'm going to live it to the fullest

Chorus 2
I'm a brand new man
I have left my old life behind
I no longer swear
I don't do any drugs
I pray every day
