The first thought through my sleepy head when I fell outta my bed is I Hope the sky is grey I'm gonna write a sad song today. So I make up my mind, slip on my shoes, I'm gonna pick up a paper and read the news Cause I'm sure to find enough blues to write my sad song But when I open the door and the sun spills through Takes away my breath and I think of you and the only blues to hit my eyes are those beautiful blues in the clear blue sky So much for my sad song So much for my sorry attitude Let's make this a love song instead Cause I'm so in love with you Come on let's go out and play Save the sad song for another day No time for tears I'm wearing a smile So much for my sad song So much for my sad song So I pick up the news like I said I would Drop my jaw right where I stood Cause the headline reads 'all the news is good because love is on the way"" And love floods the world right before my eyes Everybody is dancing and slapping hi fives And such beautiful music fills the sky and we all sing along And now I snap out of my daydream And I can't believe how real it seems But I keep on dancing anyway It's turning out to be a beautiful day Sometimes I measure my day by how many things go my way And when things go wrong I usually get mad But this time I'm glad my song didn't turn out sad |

What A Heart Is Beating For (Lyrics)
By Chris Rice Leave it alone, don't analyze 'Cause love can be your lullaby But love can be your hurricane too And love can take your breath away But love can leave you lonely and blue Oh, what's a heart to do? Oh, what's a heart to do? Why be afraid No reason to hide Take the chance Put it all on the line Draw in a deep breath and throw open the door 'Cause that's what a heart is beating for Yeah, that's what a heart is beating for Beating for, beating for Brace yourselves, take a good look around We've all been thinking upside-down That love's about what life can bring our way Oh but love isn't love unless someone pays And so with love, the only way to gain Is give it all away Is give it all away! Why be afraid No reason to hide Take the chance Put it all on the line Draw in a deep breath and throw open the door 'Cause that's what a heart is beating for Yeah, that's what a heart is beating for Beating for, beating for |

Pardon my dust, excuse the mess
we're making somethin' new out of all of this I'm saying my prayers, and I'm trying to change so give me some time, 'cause I'm still finding my way Why are you lookin' at me this way? pointing your finger, shakin' your head how 'bout some love along the way, instead Pardon my dust, excuse this mess I've left a trail of debris, so you've gotta be very careful where you step I've made some mistakes, so what? Done quite a few things wrong Could you roll up your tidy sleeves and help a brother along? (Chorus) Pardon my dust, excuse the mess Please don't be another judge I need to try to impress Stop calling me names, stop casting your stones let the good Lord sort this all out when we are all at home Pardon my dust, excuse my mess help me believe there's gonna be something beautiful on the other side of this have patience with me, I'm still sweeping floors so pardon my dust, I'll pardon yours |

Hear a newborn baby cry
Hear the farmers pray for rain One more soldier gives his life A homeless man begs for change But change won't come easily What does this have to do with me? And my heart pounds with a thunder And I stop and wonder What should we do with life's surprises? (Everyday the sun rises on us!) Like a swing set in a graveyard, Like a bloom in the desert sands (Look at my tremblin' hands!) 'Cause it hits me like lightning That love must keep fighting And somehow, every time Love is gonna break through! Love is gonna break through! Love is gonna break through! Love is gonna break through! World inside a clear blue sky Teeming with humanity Tears and laughter intertwine Our comedies and tragedies And History is a runaway But not so far that Love can't find and save And my heart pounds with a thunder And I stop and wonder What should we do with life's surprises? (Everyday the sun rises on us!) Like a swing set in a graveyard, Like a bloom in the desert sands (Look at my tremblin' hands!) 'Cause it hits me like lightning That love must keep fighting And somehow, every time Love is gonna break through! Love is gonna break through! Love is gonna break through! Love is gonna break through! It takes my breath, it's come to this We all bleed red, you can't resist The changing wind, the roaring tide C'mon, get on the winning side Love is gonna break through! Love is gonna break through! Love is gonna break through! Love is gonna break through! |

So-called reality
right htere on my TV if tha's how life's supposed to be, well somebody's lyin' the camera's on and we can tell to keep you fame you have to yell 'cause tensions build, and products sell, and we're all buyin' I hope we're smarter than this Chorus Everybody take a breath why are all your faces red we're missin' all the words you said you don't have to yell draw your lines and choose your side 'cause many things are worth the fight but louder doesn't make you right you don't have to yell, oh you don't have to yell I tuned in to hear the news I don't want your point of view if that's the best that you can do, then Something's missing and experts on whatever side you plug your ears, you scream you lines you claim to have an open mind, but nobody's listenin' don't you think we're smarter than this? Chorus 2x Bridge If everyone will take the step back away and count to ten clear your mind and start again we won't have to yell |

So go ahead and ask her
For happy ever after 'Cause nobody knows what's coming So why not take a chance on loving Come on, pour the glass and tempt me Either half-full or half-empty 'Cause if it all comes down to flavor The glass is tipping in my favor Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky I live life without pretending I'm a sucker for happy endings Thanks for the lemonade Thanks for the lemonade! Now take your time to answer me For the beauty of romancing Is to calm your trembling hand with mine While begging love to fill your eyes I can hardly breathe while waiting To find out what your heart is saying And as we're swirling in this flavor The world is tilting in our favor Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky I live life without pretending I'm a sucker for happy endings Thanks for the lemonade Thanks for the lemonade! I've got it made Rest in the shade And hold my love While God above Stirs wiith a spoon We share the moon Smile at the bees More sugar please He really loves us after all We're gonna need another straw! We're gonna need another straw! Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky I live life without pretending I'm a sucker for happy endings Thanks for the lemonade Thanks for the lemonade! |

Here come those eyes
There goes my ability to breathe Those legs are walkin' her to me Oh, tell me I ain't dreamin Here comes that smile I can't even move, can't even blink 'Cause I don't wanna miss a thing And I ain't even foolin' when I say the boys are droolin' And the girls are starin' her down My knees go weak and my heart starts to pound It happens every time She saunters into the room It all blurs and all starts to zoom And then my head starts spinnin' She gets a few feet away And suddenly we're both in slow motion Like we're alone in the deep blue ocean I know it's just a feelin' But it might as well be real because I Think I might be fixin' to drown My knees go weak and my heart starts to pound She takes my hand I don't know what to say She understands anyway... And here come those eyes Can she see what I'm thinkin' on If this is what they call love I can't believe I'm in it Thankin' heaven every minute I'm the luckiest boy in this town My knees go weak and my heart stops I can't catch my breath I think I'd better sit down My knees go weak and my heart starts to pound |

Love, how did I find you?
Was I even breathing before I knew your name? Who could ever have planned this? Arranged a whole planet to all turn out this way. Hey, only Heaven knows The dreams behind these things I'm aksing Even our angels look surprised To bump their wings in passing I love you How can I say, I love you Let the words escape Though you snuck up behind me I thought I was hiding But oh how I fell for you My heart beats double inside me As I learn to love it Say my prayers for two Hey, only Heaven saw The tears I cried On the day I met you If the whole world goes wrong I'll don a cape And fly to your rescue Because I love you How can I say, I love you Let the words escape Let the words escape Let the words escape |

City sidewalk, bright Saturday morning
Beggar with a halo shuffles up to me He asks me for a coin, and mumbles "Thank you, and God bless you" Good deeds and halos, not sure what I believe He asks me, "Is there something I can give back to you? How 'bout this halo for an hour or two?" And now I'm Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo Hopin' no one notices my broken wings Peekin' through these gates and thinkin', Lord have mercy I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me 'Postle Peter, taps me on my shoulder Says, "Son, are you lost?" I say, "Can you show me around?" "Well, I'd be glad too Tell me, what brings you to heaven today?" "I've always wondered what the fuss is all about" I feel like a kid flashin' a fake I.D. Tryin' to slip past the Authority And now I'm Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo Hoping no one notices my broken wings Peekin? through these gates and thinkin', Lord have mercy I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me! Hey Mr. Pedro, I have a little confession I don't belong here, and this halo isn't mine Peter laughs and says "Well, boy, haven't you noticed? We've all been broken, but now we're doin' just fine ?Cause nobody's good enough And up here we're all the same We all get to heaven under someone else's name!" Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo Hopin' no one notices our broken wings Peekin? through these gates and thinkin?, Lord have mercy I?m never gonna make it if it?s up to me |

Start with an infant world and an open sky
On a perfect day, breath from the mouth of God Sends a quiver through His design of clay And it is good, and it is good Tell me the story again Tell me the story again Wake to a girl beside Here's a hand to hold and never go away Now taste the forbidden fruit Make a poor excuse Feel the wall of shame And run and hide, and run and hide Tell me the story again Tell me the story again Child in a manger bed See the virgin smile, she understood Now grow up and break your bread Pour your cup of wine On a cross of wood A cross of wood, a cross of wood Tell me the story again Tell me the story again Tell me the story again Tell me the story again Time twenty centuries There's a boy on his knees At the river's edge Now plunge with his guilty stains In the cleansing waves And wash his sins away Oh, happy day Oh, happy day Oh, happy day Oh, happy day Tell me that story again Tell me that story again Tell me the story, tell me the story Tell me the story, tell me the story again Start with an infant world And an open sky on a perfect day |
