I've been away too long awhile I lost my rhythm, I forgot my style Too complicated for this simple man But now I understand Like a circle peg in a square hole I tried to push it but it wouldn't go It didn't kill me so my strength increased And now i finally see I found a love that was gone deep inside of me I found a man who was lost and i set him free I thought that the pain was never gonna end But now i can be myself again I had the best the world could offer for sho' But peace of mind is much more precious than gold I was in place where truth was hard to find But it's all revealed in time Stick out my chest and hold my head up high Forgot how it felt to feel so good inside A fool would gain the world just to lose himself Now i'm gonna be true to no one else I gotta light in my eyes for the world to see Thank God the music's back inside of me It was a long hard road to be a better man But now i can be myself again I feel the roll of thunder in my bones I hold my head up high everywhere that i go And the gift of life i truly understand 'Cause i can be myself again No there ain't no wound that love can't heal for sho' And if you lose yourself the Lord will guide you home This i know Well i found a joy and serenity Won't let nobody tell me something's wrong with me Gotta big love inside and I'm 'mo set it free And be myself again I found a love that was gone deep inside of me I found a man who was lost and i set him free I thought that the pain was never gonna end But now i can be myself again I feel the roll of thunder in my bones I hold my head up high everywhere that i go And the gift of life i truly understand And i can be myself again I said i can be myself again I know i can be myself again I can be myself again
Baby what you searching for I'm pretty sure that you just don't know 'cause You're looking with your body, not your head You're brilliant and beautiful But they don't see when they take you home 'cause You're just another notch that's in their bed Ohhh, oh pretty baby Ohhh, oh pretty baby (Why you wanna go and do that baby)
I can feel your emptiness, I can see it behind those eyes Just waiting for the one who understands (Someone who understands) Though I'm not like the rest I'm invisible because you're blind Jaded and blinded to a chance (To take a chance with me) Ohhh, oh pretty baby Ohhh, oh pretty baby (oh, you're so beautiful, why you want to go and do that baby)
Don't lie to yourself Don't let them inseide while your heart keeps crying Sfow love for yourself Discover your light where you you'll find me (In the light) Ohhh, oh pretty baby
Standing here in disarray A calm serenity The winds of change can devastate And it took this much for me With nowhere to run and no reason left to hide Gonna hold on All the walls around are broken down Now I can hear the rising sun Surrounded by everything I want But nothing that I need I was blinded by the absurdity Losing all identity Sometimes what you fear the most is what you need To find that road Right around that curve a lesson learned Now that I have the eyes to see A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again With poison toys I'd isolate But the wind was strong and true But now I see where the treause is 'Cause they only blocked my view I'm spiraling down but so oblivious Got to find my way home There's a heart that bleeds trapped in me But how do I break this shell of stone A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again Sometimes I cried, the tears wouldn't fall And sometimes I tried to break those walls And feel your love But I came alive When I finally found my way
A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again A hurricane, a hurricane Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain A hurricane, a hurricane
We could write the story of how we fell apart But your truth and mine ain't the same So I'll write the words into my heart Fot the chapter that bears your name How could people go from a feeling that words can't describe To a place of not even caring if I'm even alive
The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing Where does the love go After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely Where does the love go Where does the love go
They say that love is a timeless energy, it never dies it just changes form But it when it changed from the shape of you and me it took the shape of a raging storm I'm not asking for second chances I just want you to see Until you take a look at yourself girl You could never be free
The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing Where does the love go After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely Where does the love go? The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing Where does the love go After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely Where does love go?
When it dissipates does it turn to hate If you see me on the street, would you talk to me For the sake of love, ain't worth it babe? How could people go from a feeling that words can't describe To a place of not even caring if I'm even alive
The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing Where does the love go After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely Where does the love go The love that we shared, does it fade into nothing Where does the love go After all the dreams that we had does it vanish completely Where does love go The love that we shared Where does the love go Where does the love go
I don't want to live this way no more I don't want to fight this endless lonely war I don't want to stand alone, without the only love I've known And never find that ray of light we had before I never meant to break your precious heart And what I did can't be undone and it's tearing me apart Far too late for promises, but if you gave us one more chance You would see a better man worth fighting for Love sweet love I feel your power Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now Take these hearts so lost and broken Bring us home again If this prayer for love is never heard Oh, and if you have to walk away for these are only words Baby I will understand but I will always be that man Waiting here for you with love and open arms Love sweet love I feel your power Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now Take these hearts so lost and broken Bring us home again Remember all the times we had, the dreams that we once shared I swear I'll bring them back to you again again
Love sweet love I feel your power Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now Take these hearts so lost and broken Bring us home again
I got the biggest part of heaven in my life And I can feel it every time I see your eyes You're my world, you're my light India
If I could you know I'd open every door But your own journey makes it mean so much more I believe in all your dreams India
Down, you'll never let me down When you follow your own way Speak the words only you would say Keep reaching for your star If won't be far When love's behind you
You're the miracle of life that love has made This bond between the two of us will never break Your flower blooms, I sing for you India
You hold the universe inside your little hands So don't you listen if they just don't understand you When you try, you always fly India Yes baby -
Keep reaching for your star If won't be far I'm right behind you I got the biggest part of heaven in my life And I can feel it every time I see your eyes You're my world, you're my light India
I believe in all your dreams India When you try, you always fly India, yes you do baby -
The first time I fell in love was long ago. I didn't know how to give my love at all. The next time I settled for what felt so close. But without romance, you're never gonna fall. After everything I've learned; Now it's finally my turn. This is the last time I'll fall... in love. The first time we walked under that starry sky, there was a moment when everything was clear. I didn't need to ask or even wonder why, because each question is answered when your near. and I'm wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds, this is the last time i'll fall in love. Now don't hold back, just let me know. Could i be moving much too fast or way too slow. 'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day. To find that once in a lifetime, this is it, I'll never be the same. You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words. And now that I've said them, they could never be enough. As far as I can see, there's only you and only me. This is the last time I'll fall in love. Last time i'll fall in love. The last time i'll fall... in love.
I heard some news from a friend of mine Strugglin' with the woes of life Just broken down as the rain kept steady pourin'
We questioned and we philsophized But the only truth that we surmised Is rain will fall so the rose will keep on growing
Sometimes it's hard to understand How fate can deal with such a heavy hand
But in the end You're gonna find that strength that lies within And in the end All you need is the comfort of a friend
And in the end You won't break 'cause you're learning how to bend And the hand of God will guide you always In the end
Now I know a woman so abused By the hands and words her husband used Till the day would come when she could take no more
With two little girls she was left to feed She taught them strength and self-esteem Now she's an inspiration to everyone she meets
I know that life has a funny way of bringing out the best by bringing on the pain
But in the end A little love's gonna bring you back again And in the end Every answer's written on the wind And in the end Looking back you can finally understand He was always there beside you You'll see
'Cause I know the fight when you struggle every morning Just to face that world one more day And you're holding on to life while a northern wind is blowing Just believe your help is on the way
Oh in the end You're gonna find that strength that lies within And in the end You're gonna get there no matter where you've been 'Cause in the end, well The one truth is love will always win And the hand of God will guide you Just believe and let Him in
'Cause in the end, well A little love's gonna bring you back again And in the end, well Eevry answer's written on the wind And in the end Just look back and I swear you'll understand He was always there beside you
Baby we need just a little more time Time that can heal what's been on your mind You can find what we've lost before it all slips away We need time to mend from the mistakes I've made God only knows what a heart can survive So many tears from all the pain in our lives And where else could we go after all we've been through I still believe my life is right here with you
So just hold on And it won't take long I hope that you can love me When the pain is gone I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart
I know it's taking a while but every lesson, I've learned And if your heart speaks tonight I'll hear every word If you want to be free I'll never stand in your way But with all that I am, I'm asking you to stay
Hold on And it won't take long I hope that you can love me When the pain is gone I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart
There's a light that can burn It exists in the heart You can feel it when you know love is true If you could try to be strong And keep the light burning long It took a lifetime but I found it in you
Hold on And it won't take long I hope that you can love me When the pain is gone I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart
Heaven knows what you've been through So much pain Even though you can't see I'm not far away We always say if one of us Somehow went away We'd light a candle and say a prayer Know that love still remains Close your eyes, go to sleep Know my love is all around you Dream in peace, when you wake You will know I'm still with you Live your life from this day on And love again I know you'd do the same for me That's the way that loves is supposed to be Close your eyes, go to sleep Know my love is all around you Dream in peace, when you wake You will know I'm still with you When you feel those lonely teardrops Rolling down your face Just know my love watches over you Always, always Close your eyes, go to sleep Know my love is all around you Dream in peace, when you wake You will know I'm still with you Close your eyes, go to sleep Know my love is all around you Dream in peace, when you wake You will know I'm still with you I'm still with you
