What makes you think you can Who made you feel invincible Can't you just be quiet and small Safely in the dark I helped you get this far Why can't you see it's good enough Just sit still, don't act so tough This is who you are Let me paint a picture Of the future that you crave What if you fail? What if you fall down? What if you take a chance and everybody laughs What if it hurts? What if it falls apart? What if you try your best and find nobody cares? I want what's best for you I'm just protecting your good name Don't you see, we are the same This is who we are Let me paint a picture Of the future that you crave What if you fail? (I'll try again) What if you fall down? (I'll rise up) What if you take a chance and everybody laughs (I'll trust my heart) What if it hurts? (I'll overcome) What if it falls apart? (I'll keep it together) What if you try your best and find nobody cares? (I'll care for me)

Driving home in a rain storm Music's loud and the wind strong And I still got so far to go Back to where I came from Can't believe it's been so long But I'm finally coming home Leave the past behind me Praying you will remind me How our love was enough Road ahead is empty Like the void within me Symbols of a lesson learned That success is lonely And the heart is only Losing life on every turn I can't wait till you hold me Like you did when you told me How our love was enough There you are in the doorway Showing me in your own way How our love is enough

As the dark is creeping in And the noise of day subsides All I hear is silence Giving way to the voice inside And the script is still unchanged It's the same old chatter So I call you once again You're the voice that matters Teach me how to love myself The way you love me Unlike myself (like no one else) You believe in me You see what's good And what can be If only I could have your point of view Oh,the things that I could do Teach… Tell me once again What you see in me Show me who I am The man I want to be

Last dance 04:25
As close we are I feel the distance We're oceans apart Locked in our embrace As we dance to the last song Keeping the pace Your head on my shoulder Tears on my face We sway through the motions As time disappears And just our emotions Define what we hear Though we know it's our last dance We try to hold on Make this song last forever Melt two into one We surrender our hearts In a moment so frail Our farewell in the dark Onwards we sail
6.
Babe, looking in your eyes Makes me realize What you mean to me And it's plain to see how you Teach me how to fly You're the reason why I got where I am Girl, you lift me up so high In your own sweet way I can hear you say Follow your dream, and I I will follow you Lately I have been Wandering within So caught up in myself I forgot to say that I'm So impressed by you I see what you can do Let me be your wind I will carry you up high Anywhere you go I want you to know
7.
Quiet down, anxious heart In time this moment will make sense And you will understand that Live is change, constant flow And we were made to overcome This will only make you grow Just be still, worried mind There is a future you can't see One day everything will be alright Once you know You can be calm and trust yourself To find a way to make this work The road ahead seems lost But if you look inside You'll find that all along You've been walking Step by step, ever on To a place so beautiful So warm and peaceful After all this time In the dark You will open up your eyes And see the shining light you are
8.
To take a walk in your mind To one day see what goes on To understand where you're from That's what I want, love To take a peek in your heart To see who's hiding in there To claim a space for myself, That's what I want, love But all I can do Is dance to the sound of your words And bask in the warmth of your touch The truth is revealed in your smile This is unconditional love To know the future we'll have To see us old and in love To find we made it that far That's what I want, love To freeze this moment in time To hold you for evermore To love like never before That's what I want, love But all I can do Is dance to the sound of your words And bask in the warmth of your touch The truth is revealed in your smile This is unconditional love

I am... 03:41
I'm every color of the rainbow I'm light and darkness all at once I am strength and I am weakness I am confidence and doubt I'm courage and fear

Do you really wonna know? My version of the truth? Will it help you to make sense Of the storm we made it through? Can't we let go of the past? And make the best of now? Must we replay every scene To make peace with it somehow? Like the wind won't tell you where it's going Won't show you where it's been Life's about the moment And what we find within I'm not trying to deny There were plenty of mistakes So we are human after all And our heart is all it takes To believe in love again Embrace the way we feel We don't know tomorrow What's here today is rea
