Rock n Roll Edge
04:27
|
|||
Some people think that you lost
Your rock n roll edge
Just because you're creative
They think it's all dead
Music isn't just one thing
It's oh so much more
But if it all sounds the same then
Everyone's bored
Rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge
I have sang soul
And rhythm and blues
And a bit of jazz
Some hip hop too
Contemporary you know
It's all good
It always comes back to rock
It's in my blood true
Rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge
Just because I sing ballads
Sing blues jazz funk
Just because I sing reggae gospel country pop punk
Doesn't mean I lost my
Doesn't mean I lost my
Doesn't mean I lost my
Rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge
My music has different sounds
And I throw them all around
Though they're different styles
I think it makes it worthwhile
But I'll never desert
My rock n roll edge
No I'll never desert
My rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge
Just because I sing ballads
Sing blues jazz funk
Just because I sing reggae
Gospel country pop punk
Doesn't mean I lost my
Doesn't mean I lost my
Doesn't mean I lost my
Rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge
Rock n roll edge

Darkness of Death
04:58
|
|||
In the morning a child is born
From morning to noon, life carries on
From noon to dusk, your dying breath
From dusk till nightfall
The darkness of death
A child is born, an old man dies
We never seem to wonder why
We're here, or the meaning of it all, or how we meet our curtain call
The only thing I'm sure of
Is I know nothing
Be it faith or destiny, why do you think a child is born so helpless, and lives his life so sweet, father time takes its toll and, an old man dies so weak
When its over
Please don't shed a single tear for me
Don't be sorry
I lived my life and now I'm free
My loved ones, maybe together someday you and I, together
Cause sooner or later we all have to die
Hark I hear the angels calling after me
Body's getting warm, defying gravity
And my body's getting lighter
There's a tightness in my back
The light is getting brighter
And suddenly
It all turns black
A child is born so helpless, and lives his life so sweet
Father time takes its toll and
An old man dies so weak

Free
04:41
|
|||
Free from all the hurt
Free from all the pain
Aw guess what has happened
Another life has been lost
Damn disease crept in her brain
Now she's paid the cost
At least she's free from all the hurt
Free from all the pain
I do miss my mother
She was everything to me
At least now the suffering's gone
And now she's free
Free from all the hurt
Free from all the pain
She never met my daughter
Didn't have a chance to
And my heart aches
Oh my heart aches
Cause mom I miss you
Free from all the hurt
Free from all the pain
In closing I'll tell you
The whole thing don't seem right
She lived for the Lord
And he just turned off her lights
Now she's free from all the hurt
Free from all the pain

Shackles
03:46
|
|||
We're all in shackles
We're all in shackles
Shackles
We're all in shackles
We're all nailed to the cross
Hands nailed
Feet chained
A crown of thorns
Diggin in your brain
We're all in shackles
We're all in shackles
We're all in shackles
Shackles
Hands are tied, nothing you can do
A cross chained to your feet
You can't even move
A thorn of crowns
You can't use your own mind
It continues to happen
Time after time
Shackles
We're all in shackles
So many shackles
We're all in shackles
Freedom they say we have
But I say we're all slaves
Black, white, red , brown
Been that ways for days
We're all in shackles
We're all in shackles
We're all in shackles
We're all in shackles
Freedom they say we have
But I say we're all slaves
Black, white, red , brown
Been that ways for days
We're all in shackles
We're all in shackles
We're all in shackles
Shackles

I Know
04:50
|
|||
I know you don't want me
I know you don't need me
I know you want nothing
Ahh, to do with me
Uuh
You come on to me so strong
Then I can't seem to touch you
So why you leading me on
Can't tell me the truth, why can't you
I know you don't want me
I know you don't need me
I know you want nothing
Ahh, to do with me
Your eyes light up when I'm around
Making me feel like I have a chance
Then you push me to the ground
So much for romance
I know you don't want me
I know you don't need me
I know you want nothing
Ahh, to do with me
You never ever can be reached
When I call you on the phone
Maybe just plain hard to get
I should just leave you alone
I know you don't want me
I know you don't need me
I know you want nothing
Ahh, to do with me
Ahhhhh, ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhh, ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhh, ahhhhhhh

Jumped so much in life

Never stops no matter what your age
Jump until you jump into your grave

Authority can really bring you down
Jump here jump there or we'll take you down
Most religions use the book of fear
Brainwash symphony right in your ear.

They can make your life a living hell
Your days of jumping have yet begun
Enjoy your childhood
Daughter and son

I believe I believe I believe
Everything has a purpose in life
I believe I believe I believe
Everything's gonna be alright
No matter what situation
Should find its way through
I believe I believe I believe
All this is true
And if my world starts falling apart
I believe deep in my heart
It'll be alright
I believe I believe I believe
Life is what you make it
I believe I believe I believe
See a chance and take it
I believe
There's just one life
So make the best of this one
I believe in enjoying life
So let's go have some fun
And if my world starts falling apart
I believe deep in my heart
It'll be alright
And if my world starts falling apart
I believe deep in my heart
It'll be alright
And if my world starts falling apart
I believe deep in my heart
It'll be alright

Bird

Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird
Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird
After what we been through
I can't get away far enough from you
You put me through hell
You really rung my bell
Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird
Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird
Everything we been through haunts me day and night
You were so wrong, oh so wrong, but I wasn't right
Because our love fell apart, fell apart
But we still love in our hearts, in our hearts
Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird
Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird
What's it gonna take to get you off my mind
What's it gonna take to leave it all behind
I don't know if I can go another day without crying
Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird
Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird
So many games played in our relationship
Too many games played
Now it's the end of it
Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird
Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird
Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird
Wish I could fly away
Far away like a bird

Sell your soul for love
Anything for love

Your love is dangerous
Your love is dangerous
You let him have his way
Do anything he'd say
You won't get away
You take it every day

Your love is dangerous
You live for love
You breathe for love
You'll die for love
You'll kill for love
Your love is dangerous
Your love is dangerous
Your love is dangerous
Your love is dangerous

Is It Real?

I look around
I look around
What do I see
What do I see
In the mirror
In the mirror
Is it really me
Is it really me
Or just another
Or just another
Universe
Universe
Behind the mirror
Behind the mirror
What is real
What is real
What is fake
What is fake
Are we asleep
Are we asleep
Or awake
Or awake
Is all the world
Is all the world
Just fake
Just fake
And beyond
And beyond
What awaits
What awaits
Is there a god
Is there a god
In the sky
In the sky
Did aliens
Did aliens
Give us life
Give us life
What do you know
What do you know
Anything
Anything
I'm asking you
I'm asking you
What is real
What is real
What is fake
What is fake
Are we asleep
Are we asleep
Or awake
Or awake
Is all the world
Is all the world
Just fake
Just fake
And beyond
And beyond
What awaits
What awaits
Are we here
Are we there
If we're here
Than where is there
Is it blue
Is it red
Or are the colors
Really there
Are we here
Are we there
If we're here
Than where is there
Is it blue
Is it red
Or are the colors
Really there
What is real
What is real
What is fake
What is fake
Are we asleep
Are we asleep
Or awake

Live and Let Live
03:33
|
|||
Time goes by oh so fast
Just as we start to live
Our bodies turn to ash
It's time to realize
There is no room for us to fight
Why don't we live, and let live
Why don't we live, and let live
We all have our faults
But who are we to judge
Someone for what they've done
We have no room for this
It doesn't matter what they did
Why won't we live, and let live
Why won't we live, and let live
Time goes by in a flash
So we should live it up
The best way we know how
And if we disagree
Remember these words from me
Why won't we live, and let live
Why won't we live, and let live
Why don't we live
Why don't we live
