Raw As The Day

We were both the same, but different sides of single self-belief. To you it's just a game, you're getting through the day so you can sink into the night. And you tell me that I never gave you everything you need, All the days and all the nights I stood beside you, you cannot see. What's the point in having dreams if they are something you just hide behind You'll find your way within and not with me But I trusted you and you took away all the good inside You just gave up on me so I can't go back until all the hurt is gone. As raw as the day, this open wound that you and I don't understand You'd say, give me one more chance But if you carry on like this you will regret one day That you ever took advantage of the ones who kept believing All the days and all the nights I cried over you, you did not see There's no point in having dreams if they're something you just hide behind Your fight's with you, it's within and not with me I trusted you and you took away all the good inside You just gave up on me so I can't go back until all the hurt is gone. See look what you've done you've turned me 'round again. See look what you've done you've turned me 'round again. (Oh see what you’ve done!) Temptations all around you, this fear is all around me I can't I won't just let myself forget That I trusted you and you took away all the good inside…

Mary was an orphan girl Abandoned at the airport turn Left without a reason why next to a book of haunting lullabies Mary was a grown up kid, tries forgiving what her parents did She looks into the deep blue sky and sings a sweet and haunting lullaby Out the book a letter falls, it drops onto the ground She reads the words they say "Dear Mary, we're sorry..." Mary is a child in a lullaby, the words she sings are all they hear now And underneath the laughter she wants to cry Mary is a girl that we've all once known, keeping all the past a mystery She's searching for the answers to tell her why she cries Why do you cry? Mary is a girl with pride, with loving children by her side She passes on the reasons why she sings those sweet and haunting lullabies Inside the book are stories of the past I never knew, they read the words aloud, "Dear Mary, we're sorry..." Mary is the child in a lullaby, the words she sings are all they hear now And underneath the laughter she wants to cry Mary is a girl that we've all once known, keeping all the past a mystery She's searching for the answers to tell her why she cries. Mary has a life her own, memories that they'll never know She finds the book and says goodbye to all those sweet and haunting lullabies All those sweet and haunting lullabies, Dear Mary, we're sorry...

I'm standing on the line, looking down at you And I don’t know why you say the things you do And every day we scream and then we laugh and then we cry and then we scream again I just want you to be happy 'cause it’s going to be OK Just trust in me my baby don’t you cry We’re not alone in this great big world together 'Cause we’ve got friendship on our side, we’ve got it all No we’re not unknowns in this crazy world forever 'Cause we’ve got friendship on our side, we’ve got it all We've got it all... Don’t give up, no matter what they say Every day you think you’ve tried well just try and try again And when they say your dreams are just not real and how the hell could they come true Keep your head up high and remember 'cause you sure are on your way Take a look outside 'cause baby it's a brighter day We’re not alone in this great big world together If we’ve got friendship on our side, we’ve got it all And we’re not unknown in this crazy world forever 'Cause we’ve got friendship on our side, we’ve got it all So don’t cry , don't cry no more Don’t cry, don't cry no more Don’t cry, don't cry no more Just trust in me my baby don’t cry 'Cause we've got it all Don't you know that we've got it all And we’re not alone in this crazy world forever We’ve got friendship on our side, and we’ve got it all Yeah we've got it all In this crazy world, this crazy world together We've got it all...

My baby, I’m sorry for all I say and do Won’t you come back? Am I crazy, oh but I can’t see the road ahead without you So won’t you come back? ‘Cause all the walls they've tumbled to the ground And even though I sleep alone I feel you all around As I sit alone and watch the world go by Can you hear me, can you hear the tears I cry? I dream at night and you are all I see And I’ll be waiting, forever hoping you’ll be coming back to me On the day you left, I acted like a fool If only I could turn back time I’d tell you all the secrets of my heart And I’d never let the time we spent ever die in vain As I sit alone and watch the world go by Can you hear me, can you hear the tears I cry? I dream at night and you are all I see And I’ll be waiting, forever hoping you’ll be coming back to me Can you hear me, can you hear me calling out? All the walls they've tumbled to the ground And every day I hope and pray for you and I forever… Now I sit alone and watch the world go by Can you hear me, can you hear the tears that I cry for you? I dream at night and you are all I see Baby baby, I’ll be waiting, forever hoping That you’ll be coming back to me You'll be coming back to me

Ocean Sky 04:38
Sailing over the ocean, I see your light ahead Beneath the sky so blue Are we caught in a dream of tangled memories? The water pulls me closer to you You are here and I’m okay You are here and I’m okay And you say… We are children tonight And we’re gonna fly away ‘til oceans meet the sky Under lonely moonlight We’re gonna fly away until oceans meet the sky Bless the child of emotions, a sea of harmony To wash the tears we cry Taking fortune for granted, it's all we do With never the end in sight But you are here and I’m okay We’ll let loving guide our way And you say… We are children tonight And we’re gonna fly away ‘til oceans meet the sky Under lonely moonlight We’re gonna fly away until oceans meet the sky Why do you have to be so kind? Why do you have to blow my mind? I just can’t help falling in love with you We are children tonight And we’re gonna fly away ‘til oceans meet the sky Under lonely moonlight We’re gonna fly away until oceans meet the sky, baby you and I Until oceans meet the sky...

Time's here to take you by the hand and tell you You don't fear, don't you care anymore? I know, changing you is biggest of them I know all that you are (All that you are) Take in everything they say 'cause baby You're in over your head And when it gets too far undone, I am here I am here All those laughing in your face and tell me Do you know you're back where you are? I say living out the dream is all you can do It's all that you are And when it gets too far undone, undone I am here, I am here Time's here...
