Take a moment to count your blessings

And you will find what you already know

It's the same thing we all seem to miss

It's the one thing we find hard to express

Remember you got all the love that you need inside

Let it just flow and take the ride

There will be new possibilities

Open up your heart and you will see

You got all the love that you need inside

Let it just flow and take the ride

You will see that you will just up and fly

You got all the love that you need inside

For a minute I thought I got it

But the next day I couldn't find my strength

Cuz I was caught up in a world that I can't understand

Where we judge each other as if we can

Even begin to try to understand what battles we fight in our heads

And nothing's as easy as 1, 2, 3

But if you follow through you will come to see

That life is giving you the opportunity to be what you wanna be

Remember you got all the love that you need inside

Let it just flow and take the ride

There will be new possibilities

Open up your heart and you will see

You got all the love that you need inside

Let it just flow and take the ride

You will see that you will just up and fly

You got all the love that you need inside

I had a love before who told me things I did believe

but I was never sure

It was in his eyes that I denied the truth

Instead I chose to believe the lies

I was under a spell

But I liked the way it made me feel so I could never tell

That I was so unwise to give him all my love

When I knew it wouldn’t last

I have seen a momentary love

But you and I will always stay

There have been too many for too long

And the promises that don’t remain

Become a love before

I gave my heart before to a man who couldn’t see

That to him I’d have given the world

And although I tried he turned away my best

And still I stayed along for the ride

Why couldn’t I tell that all he had to give

Was a lesson that I learned too well?

And I was so unwise to give him all my love

And to think that it would last

I have seen a momentary love

But you and I will always stay

There have been too many for too long

And the promises that don’t remain

Become a love before

It’s a story told too many times of a love

That keeps you coming back, coming back

Though you know it’s just not right, still you feel

Compelled to go running back, running back

When you came into my life, I finally felt like

I got it right, got it right

Although it took some time, every love before

Led me to you

I know I can be so difficult

And you seem to be so fed up with me

I can tell this won’t end well

I don’t know where you’ll go, but...

Think about it for a minute more

Before you walk out the door

Take a second just to think it through

Is this the end of me and you?

This time I know I’ll get it right

So give me a chance to show you how it can be

You still say there’s no way

I can change, but I think you should

Think about it for a minute more

Before you walk out the door

Take a second just to think it through

Is this the end of me and you?

You still say there’s no way

I can change, but I think you should

Think about it for a minute more

Before you walk out the door

Take a second just to think it through

Is this the end of me and you?

I know we all just want to be accepted

Whether you’re black or you’re white

You’re Buddhist or you’re Muslim

Somewhere the love got lost in translation

And the ego’s the one that wants to rule the nation

(I want to be free)

I believe that we will see, everybody together, yes, you and me

One thing that we can agree is that we all just wanna be free

(Free to be me)

I believe that we will see, everybody together, yes, you and me

One thing that we can agree is that we all just wanna be free

There was a time when I would just accept it

Stereotypes and all of the assumptions

Now I have a mind and I’m not afraid to use it

Although there are some who would rather I abuse it

(I want to be free)

I believe that we will see, everybody together, yes, you and me

One thing that we can agree is that we all just wanna be free

(Free to be me)

I believe that we will see, everybody together, yes, you and me

One thing that we can agree is that we all just wanna be free

There is a chance, I know that we can make it

Through the good and the bad, we’re strong enough to take it

For we are the ones who will never forsake it

The life that we live and the beauty that creates us

Far away

Is a place they say

Where we can be free to be who want to be

Well I won’t wait

For the day the to come

When you and I can live as one

It’s not as far as it may seem

The dream

I can see

As far as it may be

It is coming near

The dream will soon be real

I believe there’s a time when we

Will look into each other’s eyes

Without a trace of animosity

Well I won’t wait for that day to come

So I vow now to love each one

For we must live without fear until

We dream

I can see

As far as it may be

It is coming near

The dream will soon be real

I know it’s getting kind of crazy

And this love might have you thinking

That you’re done and leaving ‘cause

It wasn’t what you thought it’d be

And I thought that I could make it

Without the one thing that brings me up

When I’m down, down and out

And now I’m stuck here on the ground

Don’t give up on me

I’ll never let you down

Don’t give up on me

I’ll always be around

You say it’s too hard to trust in

And yet you keep up the lovin’

To get me to stay

And still you say it’s just not right

But don’t ever get to thinkin’

That you could give me a reason

To ever leave your side

Because it’s right here I wanna be

Don’t give up on me

I’ll never let you down

Don’t give up on me

I’ll always be around

I’ve been waiting for the moment

For you finally to notice

That I am here and waiting for the chance

To give you love

And I can give you a reason

To trust and finally believe in my love

So baby, baby, don’t give up on me

Don’t give up on me

I’ll never let you down

Don’t give up on me

I’ll always be around

I know your heart was never mine

And to her you would go back every time

But I can hear you whispering to me

"Won’t you stay the night?"

And yours is a love is that I can’t deny

So one last time

I need to feel your heart beating close to mine

I can’t fight the need to have you next to me

One last time

It would be so easy for you to stay

And give me all the love she turns away

But in the distance I see the moon lighting up the night

And you will be gone by the early light

So one last time

I need to feel your heart beating close to mine

I can’t fight the need to have you next to me

One last time

Stay with me until you have to go

There is not a soul in the world who knows

Who you really are when you’re with me

Your soul is the lock and I have the key

So one last time

I need to feel your heart beating close to mine

I can’t fight the need to have you next to me

One last time

So now you tell me

This is not exactly what you’d thought it'd be

You don’t think that we should have to try

I guess I should be happy that we had ever met at all

Because I always loved you for your mind

How will I know if my feelings were for sure?

How could I tell? I wouldn’t have the words

How would he feel if I knew the truth?

That I, I wouldn’t care even if he lied

Tell me, why’s it so hard to walk away from you?

I see there can’t be any other way, oh no

I try real hard to connect to you

But each time I miss my shot and it falls through

I don’t know if I can handle feeling this way

But each that time that you hold me I feel so much pain

Should I go? Should I stay?

Is it right? Who’s to say?

But if you say the word

Then I will walk away

Should I go? Should I stay?

Is it right? Who’s to say?

But if you say the word

Then I will walk away

I know it’s hard for you to open up to me

But you should try and just let your emotions free

I know you got problems you need to address

‘Cause you can’t love me if you don’t love yourself

You know I am willing to see this thing through

But at this point the rest is all up to you

Should I go? Should I stay?

Is it right? Who’s to say?

But if you say the word

Then I will walk away

Should I go? Should I stay?

Is it right? Who’s to say?

But if you say the word

Then I will walk away

Time goes by, still I try

Our love stays slipping away

So should I let it go, should I let it go?

I don’t know

Is it really love that can make me do these things?

Lately I’ve been acting like a child

If it seems that I haven’t been myself at all

It’s because my world’s turned upside down

It’s not like me to act that way

I don’t know how I changed

But I can see

That it’s not you, it’s me

No need to explain

Why you just don’t feel this way

If it were me, I’d have done the same

I wish I were strong

Because then I’d carry on

Instead I’ll wait ‘til the heartache is gone

It’s not like me to act that way

I don’t know how I changed

But I can see

That it’s not you, it’s me

This is how it ends

Barely even friends

One love gone while one clings to the end

Of something I never even had all along

It’s not like me to act that way

I don’t know how I changed

But I can see

That it’s not you, it’s me

It’s not like me to act that way

I don’t know how I changed

But I can see

That it’s not you, it’s me

Oh, it's not like me to act that way

If I was you, I'd do the same

Oh, one love gone while one clings to the end

Of something I never had

Oh, something I never had

I feel things about to turn around

For me, cuz I’ve been workin’ for a long time

I know the time’s about to change

For we, we’re gonna see a better day

Just when you think you’ve had enough

And you feel you’re gonna give up

That’s when life’ll turn around and you’ll see

In the problem is the opportunity

Just when you think you’ve had enough

And you feel you’re gonna give up

That’s when life’ll turn around and you’ll see

The opportunity

I feel like it could be the day

For me to think about it in a brand new way

Just when you think you’ve had enough

And you feel you’re gonna give up

That’s when life’ll turn around and you’ll see

In the problem is the opportunity

Just when you think you’ve had enough

And you feel you’re gonna give up

That’s when life’ll turn around and you’ll see

The opportunity

You know that you could do the same

If you, if you cast your fears away

Just when you think you’ve had enough

And you feel you’re gonna give up

That’s when life’ll turn around and you’ll see

In the problem is the opportunity

Just when you think you’ve had enough

And you feel you’re gonna give up

That’s when life’ll turn around and you’ll see

The opportunity

You give me strength, you give me courage

When I can’t seem to find either on my own

You give me hope, when I am doubtful

And all the faith that was lost can now be found

You are the light that always brightens up my day

When everything is wrong up you make it all okay

You make me feel like I can reach and touch the sky

I’m high with you by my side

You are my sight, you are my wisdom

You help me see the things I know weren’t there

You pick me up, when I am down low

And take me to a place I’ve never been before

You are the light that always brightens up my day

When everything is wrong up you make it all okay

You make me feel like I can reach and touch the sky

I’m high with you by my side

Take me higher, take me higher

Everyday you’re my desire

Oh you really keep the fire burning baby, yea, it’s burning for ya

Oh you know I can’t resist it

All the love you keep on giving

Cuz it’s real and I can do anything with you by my side

You are the light that always brightens up my day

When everything is wrong up you make it all okay

You make me feel like I can reach and touch the sky

I’m high with you by my side
