Lay your hands

Sometimes life can be a burden
Tryna stay one step ahead
I feel the world upon my shoulder each time
I'm standing out on the edge
And my hopes have all deserted me
Like they washed away in the sand
And it's hurting my pride
Tryna survive
But i know i stand a chance

When you lay your hands
Oh yeah
'Coz it's the only thing I have that still makes sense

(Oh baby, when I'm calling out)
Give me love and affection,
Keep telling me, show me the way.
(Oh, if you see me falling down)
Lift me up from the shadows
Will you take me away to a better place?
(And when I'm in my darkest hour)
You're by my side, to turn the tide,
Until the suffering fades.
When life is getting me down,
getting me down, i'm close to defeat,
Come and lay ur hands on me.

Feel this road is getting longer now
And i'm too far away from home
Still I gotta keep on moving on
But I can't do it on my own
Baby keep my head above water
Help me swim for my life
'Coz the game is getting harder
The strain is gettin stronger
And I can only face the fight

When you lay your hands
Oh yeah
'Coz it's the only thing I have that still makes sense

(Oh baby, when I'm calling out)
Give me love and affection,
Keep telling me, show me the way.
(Oh, if you see me falling down)
Lift me up from the shadows
Will you take me away to a better place?
(And when I'm in my darkest hour)
You're by my side, to turn the tide,
Until the suffering fades.
When life is getting me down,
getting me down, i'm close to defeat,
Come and lay ur hands on me..

'Til I'm healed again,
Rediscovered my strengths,
Those bitter blues are gone...
Oh, gone...

(Oh baby, when I'm calling out)
Give me love and affection,
Keep telling me, show me the way.
(Oh, if you see me falling down)
Lift me up from the shadows
Will you take me away to a better place?
(And when I'm in my darkest hour)
You're by my side, to turn the tide,
Until the suffering fades.
When life is getting me down,
getting me down, i'm close to defeat,
Come and lay ur hands on me.

Come and lay your hands on me.

No Worries

I just know your life's gonna change
Gonna get a little better
Even on the darkest day
I just know your life's gonna change
Gonna get a little further
Right until the feelings change

So, is this how it goes?
Think you've come this far with nothing to show
That ain't so, no
You don't see where you are
And if you don't look back you know you'll never know

Cause you think that you've been living, just treading water
And waiting in the wings for the show to begin
But I always see you searching
As you try that bit harder
Getting closer, oh yeah, to the life you're imagining

[chorus]
(I just know your life's gonna change)
Maybe not today, maybe not today
Some day soon you'll be all right
(I just know your life's gonna change)
Don't turn the other way, turn the other way
Feels like luck is on your side
(Just wanna live)
No worries, no worries
(Don't wanna die)
No worries, no worries
(Fight through the lows)
Say it for me, say it for me,
(And take all the highs)
We all need somebody
(Yeah we can sink)
No worries, no worries
(Or can you swim)
No worries, no worries
(Or walk on out)
Say it for me, say it for me,
(Or jump right in)
We all need somebody

So, baby keep drifting on
Your endeavours ain't just selfless wasted time
Seek and find, yeah yeah
You're not that far from what you've hoped and wished for all along

Cause you think that you've been living, just treading water
And waiting in the wings for the show to begin
But I always see you searching
As you try that bit harder
Getting closer, oh yeah, to the life you're imagining

[chorus]

I just know your life's gonna change
Say it for me, say it for me
We all need somebody

After all this time

After all, the broken storms
that were thrown, for no good reason
inside, she's loving him still
after all this time
And though her heart, begs the stars
No sign of healing, It's All right
She's loving him still, after all this time.

ohh yeahh

Trying to push the past away
still waiting for the lights to change
try, try for the sake of it
learning to barely feel the pain
And though it's really hurting
she aint breaking, breaking, breaking
coz she's loving him still, after all this time

now he knows his weakness shows
selfish soul, never changing
that's fine, because she's loving him still
after all this time

and to the outside eye
you see you found a different guy
and it all seems perfect,
and that's how she wants it
coz she's loving him still, after all this time.

Trying to push the past away
still waiting for the lights to change
try, try for the sake of it
learning to barely feel the pain
And though it's really hurting
she aint breaking, breaking, breaking
coz she's loving him still, after all this time

after all this time....
after all, after all, after all this time

bones have to grow, and age it shows
though we try and hide it
inside, she's loving him still
after all this time
And behind his tired eyes,
she sees the boy with his arms wide

who made her feel like an angel
ohh thats why she's loving him still
for the rest of her life, she's loving him still
for the last of many
she's loving him still
after all this time

Time of your life

You say, you've got all you'd ever want
Then how come you're
Demanding everything
A little more from everyone
You're always
Turning all my rights to wrongs
With the bitter words you're whispering
I see we've come undone, well

There's something wrong about it
Your life's too over crowded
I'm tired of giving it all
And taking the fall, I Guess

[Refrain:]
I'm wasting your time, baby
If something within you
Can't be satisfied
Then Get up, Get out, Give In, oh if
I'm cramping your style, lately
If something is greener on the other side
Then go on, and have
The time of your life

Shameful, always treated me the same
Twisting every little circumstance
In to your gain
Resentful, gone too far to give a damn
All those things that did belong to me
Keep 'em like you planned, well

There's no two ways about it
My life's too short for shouting
I'm tired of giving it all
And taking the fall, I guess

[Refrain]

Ain't no reason in me holding you down
So move on baby, and someone else
proud, because...

[Refrain]

The time of your life
The time of your life
The time of your life
The time of your life

There's no two ways about it
My life's too short for shouting
I'm tired of giving it all
And taking the fall, I guess

Unjustified

Good love, left me feeling kinda bad
Riled up, after all the fun we had
Put off, by your dirty meddlin'
Ain't that long since
I was your hootchie cootchie man

But you're getting off
Spreading dirty lies, Ya'broke promise
Don't come as no surprise
No, no, that aint gonna bother me
I ain't making a scene

[Chorus]
So have it your way
But you'll pay the price
You had ya chances, Still got no answers
No leaving with your head held high
I ain't gonna run, I aint gonna fight
So don't go making business
When you ain't got no witness
I guess you gotta let love lie
Unjustified

So sad, turning on me like you did
Cold cash, got you like a sedative
Lifestyle, live the life of luxury
While somehow
I'm sleeping with the enemy

You'll get none of that money making lies
You can't bare to do better thinking twice
If you're taking me on
You're doing it all wrong yeah
And where d'ya get that attitude from?

[Chorus]
So have it your way
But you'll pay the price
You had ya chances, Still got no answers
No leaving with your head held high
I ain't gonna run, I ain't gonna fight
So don't go making business
When you ain't got no witness
I guess you gotta let love lie
Unjustified

I thought i was seeing something else
Something sweeter, nothing like the rest
But you were trouble
Dressed as tenderness
Cos this deception that you played on me
Has left you where you didn't wanna be
But don't come knockin' here for sympathy

[Chorus]
So have it your way
But you'll pay the price
You had ya chances, Still got no answers
No leaving with your head held high
I ain't gonna run, I aint gonna fight
So don't go making business
When you ain't got no witness
I guess you gotta let love lie
Unjustified

Your were the words that I won't forget
mine are the ones that I won't regret
Made me feel good and I told you that
But you twist the knife
When I turned my back
You took a chance and you lost control
Got little heart and you got no soul
Guess all of these things
Gotta let them lie, Unjustified

Free

What a way to wake up
Just to find you there and
Touch you in the morning
You turn your head and look up
There's no need to catch me
Baby, I'm not falling
Could have guessed after all that
Id be standing tall
You make me feel

[chorus]
Free
When you're near me
Yeah I'm free
All the time
I just need you to hear me
It's only you that makes me free
I'm not used to being loved, not me

Open up the window
Just as the sun comes over the horizon
What a perfect moment
Trying to catch my breath
I find it so surprising
Who'd have guessed after all that
I'd be standing tall
You make me feel

[chorus]

Seem to exist with these
Chains around me
I thought that I was free
I never knew that's not
An easy thing to be
It's just the way that
Your love surrounds me
Who'd have guessed after all that
I'd be standing tall
You make me feel
Free, when you're near me

Who'd have guessed after all that
I'd be standing tall
You make me feel

[chorus]

Not me

Ashamed

Is there something wrong tonight
Or am i being paranoid
I guess I might have had
A little too much to drink
I wonder who she's talking to
Cos I'm about to act the fool
I smell something cooking and
I don't know what to think

[Bridge:]
What's going on?
I don't know whose right or wrong
Yeah, Tell me babe
It looks like you've been crying
What did he say before he walked away
Maybe I was outta line thinking you
were flirting with another guy...

[Chorus:]
I realise that we all can make mistakes
And I'll do whatever it takes babe
(you know I'd do anything for you)
I don't know if I could stand the pain
If you'd taken your love away babe
If you asked me now I guess I feel
Ashamed

Ashamed, Ashamed, Ashamed

I didn't mean to cause a fight
Cross my heart and hope to die
I guess I'm terrified of the thought
Of losing you
You say he's just a friend
But I don't think it's true
Once upon a time it would never have
crossed my mind

[Bridge / Chorus]

Ashamed, Ashamed, Ashamed [repeat]

[Chorus (repeat)]

Only love

The sun is shining through
Oh this perfect morning
And I know that I am blessed
But I'm guilty nonetheless
So many people lost
So many people hurting
And I wish I had a way
To make everything okay

I don't know why
How we got here
But i reach inside
And the answer clear

[chorus:]
Only love can heal the pain
It can right the wrong
Can take the blame
Only love can realize
Nothin' more we need
Cause it's all inside
So we fight, fight, fight
And we won't let go and we reach up high
Til everybody knows
Only love can understand
Only love can bring us together again

And it seems since time began
That people just been fightin'
And it ain't just black or white
And it ain't just wrong or right
And I get so overwhelmed
So disconnected
Til you reach out to me
You know just what I need

As long as I
Can hold you near
It's gonna be alright
Won't have no fear

[chorus]

All I want

Ask me where the worst place
Could possibly be,
Well I'm already there girl
Guess how long it took
To set all my demons free
Well I'm already there girl

I got my wake up call
When you shut that door
And it all becameclear to me

[chorus:]
All I want is you
I'm no longer confused
My life is not the same and I'm to blame
I need you babe
Say this love won't die
Give me one more try
Don't really have to say
You gotta leave you wanne break
I need you Baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

I swear I'll change my ways
If you promise to stay
Wanna know my biggest fear girl

So take a look at me
See how I've changed
There's no-one to take your place

[chorus]

I need you babe

Girl I know I did you wrong
Yeah baby
I gladly take you back if I could oh..
I don't wanna fuss and fight
Just gotta make things right
We've still got the time

All I want is you
I'm no longer confused
My life is not the same and I'm to blame
I need you babe
Say this love won't die
Give me one more try
Don't really have to say
You gotta leave you wanna break

[chorus]

All I want is you [x4]

Star

All of the boys and the girls at the party
And I'm the only one alone
So I crossed the dance floor
Heading for the back door
Ready to make my way home
But wait a minute what's this I see
J-lo glow and legs to spare
Something you got put it on me
Guess I ain't going anywhere

[Chorus:]
I don't know what it is
But it's shining like a star
So come on over
And show me who you are
A little closer I can't touch it from afar
Just you and me girl
Dirty dancing in the dark
And oh..

Well we could talk a little
Laugh a while and maybe
Talk a little more
But let's sidestep the usual bullshit
Make our way onto the floor
Baby there's something bright about you
Youe eyes, your smile, youe style of dress
You make me feel like I'm a sinner
And now I'm ready to confess

[Chorus]

And oh if you let me touch your body
Girl I'll let you put it on me
I can make you feel so good, so good..

And oh if you let me touch your body
Girl I'll let you put it on me
And I really wish you would, you would

So everybody, everybody
Nice and slow now
With the flow now

[repeat x3]

So everybody, everybody
Nice and slow now

[Chorus]

Uh oh

Sanctuary

Can't keep a flower underground
Can't keep the sun from shining down
And I can't make you stay
You feel your world is undefined
You feel that what you need is time
Open up your wings and find your way

And I won't try to hold you back
And I hope you already know that

[Chorus]
I'll be your sanctuary
Be the last one left here standing
If you're feelin all alone
When the world feels so temporary
And you think there's such a long
Long way to go
You're all ready home
You're home

You might be somewhere flyin free
The same sky is watching over me
Close your eyes and look around
What ever ocean that you cross
Thought you many drift you're never lost
And I will be your solid ground

Cause I know that inside my heart
Gonna get back to where we started

[Chorus]

You're already here in my arms
The way that you are tonight
Just give me till mornin' comes
It's gonna be all right - [repeat]

I'll...(Sanctuary)
I'll...I
[Repeat]

[Chorus (Repeat to fade)]
