Love Inside
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

A Love Before
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

Bad Grammar (Me & 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?

Free To Be Me
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

Dream
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

Don't Give Up On Me
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

One Last Time
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

Even If He Lied
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
-
Walk Away
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

It's Not You, It's Me
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

Opportunity 2.0
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

By My Side
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
