It's a beautiful life

"You can do what you want
just seize the day
What you're doing tomorrow's
gonna come your way
Don't you ever consider giving up
you will find, oh
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life"

"And the day that you spin
from your little cocoon
Well, you can't be prepared
for the beauty you'll find there
You'll find beauty
in the toughest of places
And I will be thinking of you
out there"

"There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain and the ones that observe
Baby I'm a put on a show kinda girl
Don't like the back seat, I'm always first"

"I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me"

"What would you say if I said something strange
That made a difference in how you feel
What would you do if I did something out of the blue
That made the world a better place
Oh, I think I will"

"It took me all my life
to finally figure out
that I'm not in the mood
to be anything like you
And maybe it's alright
and maybe now
I'll conduct my choir
I'll figure it out"

"I've got a smile on my face
I've got four walls around me
Got the sun in the sky
All the waters surround me
Yeah, I win now but sometimes I lose
I've been battered
but I never bruise
It's not so bad
And I say way-hey-hey
It's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day
you've still got to say it's all right
In this beautiful life
there's always some sorrow
But it's a double edged knife
because there's always tomorrow
It's up to you now
if you sink or swim
Just keep the faith
that your ship will come in
It's not so bad"

"I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change"

"Just one of those things
When everything goes incredible
And all is beautiful
And all of those things that used to get you down
Now have no effect at all
'Cause life is beautiful"

"Voted most likely to end up on the back of a milk box drink
Looks like I'm lettin' 'em down
Cause se-ven seventy-five isn't worth an hour of my hard work and time
When you can't afford half the shit they advertise
Oh I'm worth more than an x,
More then a toe-tag generation full of regret
Oh I won't settle no, oh I can't settle
I wanna break the mold, wanna break the stereotype
Fist in the air, I'm not going down without a fight
It's my life and I'm not sitting on the sidelines watching
It pass me by
I'm leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run in hard
I want you to remember me
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints"

"Here's to the next time
I wrap myself around a tree
I know that you'll be there with bells on
To pull me off
Thanx for throwing me the line
when I lost sight of it
You're the only reason I can exhale
And now suddenly when I find
that the outcome's just not right
for what I just did
You're the only one I can breathe through"

"I had it tough when I was just a little kid
It didn't matter what I thought
It didn't matter what I did
I felt the doubt for what I liked right from the start
It did a number on my head
But it could never touch my heart
Cause I had just enough imagination
Just enough to keep the faith
Somehow I would think of what to do
When I get lost in the momentary weakness of emotion
All the angels came around to help me through
Life pull fast changes
Wind blows past pages
All I see is that I don't need this
High strung tight-rope walk
Ticking time bomb clock
Scratch my name and cut these chains
I'm free
Kicking out that prison I am free
Singing those words of wisdom
Let it be
Nobody gonna put the blues inside of me
And in the stress to be the best
I've done it all
I slammed the doors, I jammed the locks
I laid the bricks, I built the walls
No one could tell me back then
Why joy eluded me
It kept bumping into that misery
Locked up deep down inside of me
Took that rage and I
Turned that page and I
Packed my tools, went back to school
And I passed my graduation
And I hold my PhD
In crash test moves I've paid those dues"

"Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamt of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew"

"We haven't met
And that's okay
'Cause you will be asking for me one day
Don't want to wait
In line
The moment is mine believe me
Don't close your eyes
'Cause it's a chance worth takin'
And I think that I can shake you
I know where I stand
I know who I am
I would never run away when life gets bad, it's
Everything I see
Every part of me
Gonna get what I deserve
I got nerve"

"Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself"

"Goin' to the land of opportunity
Manifest destiny
Do you want to change your mind?
You can always change your mind"

"When I'm up
I can't get down
Can't get down
can't get level
When I'm up
I can't get down
get my feet back on the ground"

"Wake up without a care
Your head's not heavy
Your conscience clear
Sins are all forgiven here
Yours and mine
Fear has gone without a trace
It's the perfect time
it's the perfect place
Nothing hurtin', nothin' sore
So no one suffers anymore
The doctor's found a simple cure
just in time
All these things if I were king
would all appear around me
The world will sing
when I am king
The world will sing
when I am king
Daylight waits to shine
until the moment you awaken
So you never miss the dawn
No question now
you know which road you're taking
Lights all green
the radio plays just the perfect song
All these things if I were king
would all appear around me
The world will sing
when I am king
The world will sing
when I am king"

"Well, I fought with a stranger
and I met myself
I opened my mouth
and I heard myself
It can get pretty low
when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it
easier on myself
But I could never follow
No I could never follow
Well, I never seem to do it
like anybody else
Maybe someday
someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me
I can still be found
Taking the long way around"

"First, when there's nothing but a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind
All alone I have cried silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel, made of stone
Well I hear the music, close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart
What a feeling, bein's believin'
I can have it all, now I'm dancin' for my life
Take your passion, and make it happen
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life"

"Hush, just stop
There’s nothing you can do or say, baby
I’ve had enough
I’m not your property as from today, baby
You might think that I won't make it on my own
But now I’m…
Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more
I’m stronger
That I ever thought that I could be, baby
I used to go with the flow
Didn’t really care ‘bout me
You might think that I can’t take it, but you’re wrong
‘Cause now I’m…
Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more
I’m stronger"

"Like a cat in heat stuck in a moving car
a scary conversation shut my eyes can't find the brake
Would it be said that you're a climber
naturally I'm worried if I do it alone
Who really cares cause it's your life
you never know it could be great
Take a chance cause you might grow
what you waiting for
Tick toc, tick toc
Take a chance you stupid ho
Like an echo peddle
you're repeating yourself
You know it off by heart
why are you standing in one place
Life is short, you're capable
What you waiting for"

"I'm Gonna Make A Change
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right
As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
Cause They Got Nowhere To Go
That's Why I Want You To Know
I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself
And Then Make A Change
I've Been A Victim Of
A Selfish Kind Of Love
It's Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No Home
Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me
Pretending That They're Not Alone?
A Willow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody's Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
They Follow The Pattern Of The Wind, Ya' See
Cause They Got No Place To Be
That's Why I'm Starting With Me
I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change"
