Looking for the Light 04:17
lyrics

Take away the light And what's there left to see Take away what's right And you're no longer free So many questions Pervading your mind You keep looking for answers But none there to find Just looking for some kind of sign Things will be alright Looking for the light (Looking for the light) Looking for the light (Looking for the light) Take away your voice And what's there left to say Take away your choice And you have no other way So many problems All over the world Is there some kind of future That's left to unfurl Just looking for some kind of sign Things will be alright Looking for the light (Looking for the light) Looking for the light (Looking for the light) Looking for the light To show us a another way To lead us to better days And finally turn away…the dark Looking for the light To shine upon all our lives To make us all more wise And help us to ignite…the spark Looking for the light To help us find our way Looking for the light To a bright and better day Looking for the light To help us find our way Looking for the light To a bright and better day Take away the light And what's there left to see

I keep on falling And I keep on stalling I just don't know what to do I keep on waiting And procrastinating I can't seem to make a move You wake up And feel that nothing can change It's your life It cannot be rearranged But you know that's just a lie Take a step And now you're on your way This is the start Of something new today And all that it takes is for you to try Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh No more hesitating Just anticipating It's time to crawl out from the dark The world keeps turning And your passion's burning It's finally time to make your mark You get up to start Your climb to the top Once you're there You know you're not gonna stop You've earned your wings Now it's time to fly All your dreams Are coming true for you now You survived All of your struggles somehow And all that it took was for you to try One day you will understand The key's in the palm of your hand There will be no asking why Just know you've got to try You wake up And feel that nothing can change It's your life It cannot be rearranged But you know that's just a lie Take a step And now you're on your way This is the start Of something new today And all that it takes is for you to try You get up to start Your climb to the top Once you're there You know you're not gonna stop You've earned your wings Now it's time to fly All your dreams Are coming true for you now You survived All of your struggles somehow And all that it took was for you to try

The Greatest Love 07:34
lyrics

The world I knew had come undone With clouds so dark, they hid the Sun The rain had washed away my life Pain cut so deep, just like a knife Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh I'd gone too far, I'd reached the end The void became a constant friend I sat alone in my despair Til I reached out and found you there You did not have to listen, but you let me speak You gave me the strength to go on when I was so very weak After all of these years of this mutual neglect I found that the person inside you is someone I truly respect In my mind and in my heart I place you in a special part In my heart and in my mind The greatest love of any kind In my mind and in my soul I need you to make me whole In my heart and in my eyes The greatest love will never die Will never die Whoa-oh-oh-oh Will never die I never thought I'd feel this way You wash the pain and fear away Now here we are, just you and I There is no point in asking why I don't understand how this love came to be But I know that this kind of love is something so rare and unique My love will not falter as long as I live I love you with all of my heart and I'll give you all I can give In my mind and in my heart I place you in a special part In my heart and in my mind The greatest love of any kind In my mind and in my soul I need you to make me whole In my heart and in my eyes The greatest love will never die Will never die Whoa-oh-oh-oh Will never die As we are looking ahead At what will be I know that it's so hard for you Well, it's hard for me In my mind I need you In my heart The greatest love In my mind and in my heart I place you in a special part In my heart and in my mind The greatest love of any kind In my mind and in my soul I need you to make me whole In my heart and in my eyes The greatest love will never die Whoa-oh-oh-oh In my mind/Will never die Whoa-oh-oh-oh I need you/Will never die Whoa-oh-oh-oh In my heart/Will never die Whoa-oh-oh-oh The greatest love Whoa-oh-oh-oh In my mind Whoa-oh-oh-oh I need you Whoa-oh-oh-oh In my heart Whoa-oh-oh-oh The greatest love

So long I stayed under your spell One look from you resistance fell Despite the memories Fading from my mind The truth is plain to see You were never really mine Right from the start You stole my heart You kept me waiting, waiting on you Losing my mind Wasting my time As I kept waiting, waiting on you You led me on You played your con While I was waiting, waiting on you Now you're not here This much is clear I shouldn't have waited, waited on you I still think back to long ago Why did I stay I just don't know Whenever you would call I'd always run to you I'd catch you when you'd fall But you'd let me fall on through You took my heart Tore it apart You kept me waiting, waiting on you You played it cool I played the fool As I kept waiting, waiting on you You had your way I had no say And I was waiting, waiting on you Now you are gone And we've moved on Wish I never waited, waited on you And after so many years Now and then I still look back There were times we seemed to be so in sync How did we end up so off track The memories fade But the memory's all that's left Right from the start You stole my heart You kept me waiting, waiting on you Losing my mind Wasting my time As I kept waiting, waiting on you You led me on You played your con While I was waiting, waiting on you Now you're not here This much is clear Wish I never waited, waited on you You took my heart Tore it apart Wish I never waited, waited on you I lost my mind Wasted my time Wish I never waited, waited on you You played it cool I played the fool Wish I never waited, waited on you Now you are gone And we've moved on Wish I never waited, waited on you

I see the walls are closing in And I reach out for your hand I pull you closer as I try to think Of some kind of plan We start to run, but then I look at you And think otherwise This battle's not about retreating But our will to survive What must I do to make things right What can we do to win this fight It's down to you and me The world keeps swinging And it's landing blows that cut to the heart With every shot we take it feels As if we're pulling apart I take your hand and beg That you will be right there by my side There is no other way to win No other way to survive What must I do to make things right What can we do to win this fight Right here and now It's time to take a stand I'll fight for you Hand in hand, we battle together It's down to you and me The walls keep closing in It seems the world has got us ensnared But we stand our ground as we defend This life we have shared With our resolve, we get ready To launch a counterattack To claim our life, our love, our liberty Our dignity back What must I do to make things right What can we do to win this fight Right here and now It's time to take a stand I'll fight for you Hand in hand, we battle together Right here and now We lay it on the line I'll fight for you Stand or fall, we're in it together Forever and ever It's you and me against the world It's you and me against the world It's you and me against the world It's you and me against the world We're gonna stand our ground It's you and me against the world It's time to fight, it's time to lay it all on the line It's you and me against the world We're gonna take them on, we're gonna take them down It's you and me against the world Now that we're united, we'll never be divided again It's you and me against the world Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now It's you and me against the world It's time to fight, it's time to lay it all on the line It's you and me against the world We're gonna take them on, we're gonna take them down It's you and me against the world Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now It's you and me against the world It's down to you and me

Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Find yourself on memory lane See faces from your past Remember them like yesterday How did time fly by so fast You see them in your memories You see them in your dreams But nothing's as it was back then Nothing's ever as it seems Years go by In your mind Years go by In the blink of an eye Arrive at your reunion And you start to reconnect Lost friends and loves and memories Regale in retrospect Celebrate the times you shared As the moment takes you back But know the past is not today You can't escape the fact Years go by In your mind Years go by In the blink of an eye Years go by In your mind Years go by It's a matter of time Years go by Years go by Years go by Years go by It's a matter of time It moves along on a line The past is left behind In the blink of an eye Years go by It's a matter of time Years go by In the blink of an eye Years go by It's a matter of time Years go by In the blink of an eye Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh

Domination Why must you always interfere Why did I let you get so near Right from the start I lost control You stole my heart, you took my soul Domination Why must you still haunt me Domination When my heart yearns to be free Domination Do you like hurting the ones that you love Domination It's been total misery Domination That you're just a memory Domination I had you once now I've had enough I've had enough I thought you were my little flower Did not think you held so much power The world you built fell at my feet In games of love I'm always beat Domination Why must you still haunt me Domination When my heart yearns to be free Domination Do you like hurting the ones that you love Domination It's been total misery Domination That you're just a memory Domination I had you once now I've had enough Domination's all that you gave me All this time I thought you were lazy So in my mind I know you crazy Domination's all that you gave me Ooh ooh I will not forget you Ooh ooh You stay in my heart Ooh ooh But I will not let you Ooh ooh Tear my world apart...again Domination Why must you still haunt me Domination When my heart yearns to be free Domination Do you like hurting the ones that you love Domination It's been total misery Domination That you're just a memory Domination I had you once now I've had enough I've had enough Domination, domination I've had enough Domination, domination I've had enough Domination, domination I've had enough Domination, domination Domination

I hear the things you say And I just shake my head Why can't you see that You are being so misled Regurgitating lies from Right-wing talking heads Who eschew the facts And spread conspiracies instead You blame your problems on everybody else You never, ever point the finger at yourself I have...no time for you I have...no time for you I have...no time for you I have...no time for you With your red hats on You wear your hate with pride With your leader's blessing You've no need to hide Attack your foes online And then you run and cry When you're called out on your shit And access is denied You say you just want to make everything great As you peddle all your lies and all your hate I have...no time for you I have...no time for you I have...no time for you I have...no time for you I have no time for you...no time for you I have no time for you...no time for you I have no time for you...no time for you I have no time for you...no time for you No time for you

You lie awake in torment You lie awake in dread How did you ever get here You know you should be dead You long for deeper meaning You long for something real But nothing brings you comfort And nothing helps you heal But there's one thing you can muster Just to get you through the day All it takes Is for you to find A little bit of Peace of mind All it takes Is for you to find A little bit of Peace of mind Peace of mind You dwell on all your failures You dwell on all your fears You drown in distant memories You drown in all your tears But then you catch a joyous moment And it gets you through the day All it takes Is for you to find A little bit of Peace of mind All it takes Is for you to find A little bit of Peace of mind Peace of mind Peace of mind Peace of mind You find one thing you can count on Just to get you through the day All it takes Is for you to find A little bit of Peace of mind All it takes Is for you to find A little bit of Peace of mind Peace of mind

It's time For us to hit the streets No more Hiding in retreat We have to raise our voice We have to stand and fight We have to be the change if we want it We have to make our move We have to do what's right We have to act or forever be haunted We can't put it off again We cannot wait forever We just can't hold off anymore Baby, it's now or never Baby, it's now or never It's time To show up and be heard We won't Stand down or be deterred We have to save the day We have to make things right We have to show them there's no going back now We won't go quietly We're gonna make some noise We're gonna get them to listen somehow We can't put it off again We cannot wait forever We just can't hold off anymore Baby, it's now or never It's time for us to make a stand We have to work together Our freedom and our lives at stake Baby, it's now or never Baby, it's now or never We can't put it off again We cannot wait forever We just can't hold off anymore Baby, it is now or never It's time for us to make a stand We have to work together Our freedom and our lives at stake Baby, it's now or never Baby, it's now or never Baby, it's now or never Baby, it's now or never

The world we knew is over Our lives forever changed A war brought to our homeland By a madman so deranged Our peace and freedom violated For one's vanity and lies Thinking they'd get a hero's welcome But they got a big surprise They say some men just want to watch the world burn They say some men just want to tear it all apart The past tries to teach us but what have we learned The same mistakes lead to a million broken hearts Though I may fall Though I may die I say to you GFY GFY GFY oh why GFY Bombs falling all around us, death rains down from the air Our homes and lives in tatters, there's sadness everywhere But we'll keep fighting for our freedom, this evil will be denied Our sovereignty will be defended, no matter the tears we've cried Our hope endures, our spirit is undying The more you take from us, the stronger we become We'll drive you out, our flag will keep on flying We will not stop until the day the war is won Though I may fall, though I may die I say to you…GFY GFY GFY oh why GFY It's all so surreal, it's all so unfair We did nothing to deserve this fate But we carry on through all the despair And hope it ends before it's too late I say to you, GFY I say to you, GFY I say to you, GFY I say to you, GFY Our hope endures, our spirit is undying The more you take from us, the stronger we become We'll drive you out, our flag will keep on flying We will not stop until the day the war is won They say some men just want to watch the world burn They say some men just want to tear it all apart The past tries to teach us but what have we learned The same mistakes lead to a million broken hearts Though I may fall Though I may die I say to you…GFY
