I don’t understand

Just an ordinary day

You had nothing new to say

I asked you how you’ve been

A conversation you weren’t keen

I simply tried to talk

You got up and went out for a walk

Chorus

I don’t understand

What I’m meant to have done

All the arguing

Now we’re back to square one

You said that you trust me

You said you believe

Why have you gone?

Why did you leave?

The house now feels so cold

I’m all alone and feeling old

There’s an emptiness inside

That I’m struggling to hide

There’s a cold side to the bed

Tell me was it something I’d said

Bridge

What have I got to do to make you come back?

We need to get out lives back on the same track

I thought you were going to be the one

This is a game I haven’t won

Trying to come to terms with this

But it’s you I really miss

You won’t give me a second glance

I just want one more chance

Feel Alive

You make me feel alive

You make me feel like I’m 25

You put the spark in the flame

You are so cute when you say my name

I walk down the street

To a slightly different beat

Knowing you are in my arms

Couldn’t resist me and my foolish charms

Chorus

I can’t really explain

But trust me I won’t complain

 Because you make me feel

Yes, you make me feel

Yes, you make me feel so alive

And when it’s dark at night

You still shine so very bright

You give me that certain stare

Telling me that you will always care

People can see my smile

It’s not hard it’s as wide as the Nile

Everyone sees your glow

And falls in love with you, don’t you know

Whenever

It started out as friendship that nobody could deny

I thought I could hide these feelings but why should I try

Obvious from the start we had an instant connection

We had two different lives with their own distraction

Chorus

Whenever I hear your voice

Whenever I see your smile

My hear skips a beat no longer in denial

Whenever I feel your touch

Whenever I hold your hand

The feeling inside that no one will understand

As time goes by our feelings become clear

Our paths that were wide are now becoming near

The journey ahead we know will be hard to travel

But being with each our paths will begin to unravel

Bridge

I know we will come out victorious on the other side

Not religious but both have faith in our spiritual guide

I’ve waited an eternity for you to come along

I honestly never thought that love could be this strong

At night I close my eyes and all I see is you

I don’t know what the meaning of life is but mine is simple you

I can’t tell you

I remember the first day that we met

That beautiful smile I’ll never forget

You walked through the open door

Ripping my heart open to the core

I stared, didn’t know what to say

But I knew it was my lucky day

Chorus

I can’t tell you how I feel

I can tell you that it’s real

And it’s hurting me inside

Do I let the stars be my guide?

I can’t tell you how I feel

You have broken my heart’s seal

Do I hide these feelings forever?

But you never say never

I think of things that I need to say

A hundred times a different way

Over thinking thoughts in my head

All the things you could have said

Do I give up and finally say goodbye?

And continue to live a lonely lie

Bridge

I close my eyes and I see you sitting and smiling back at me

You can unlock my heart but you don’t know you have the key

I want to tell you what’s on my mind

But the courage I can not find

It ends up being turned into a joke

Hiding these feelings behind the smoke

The timing never seems just right

I just want to be able to kiss you goodnight

Searching for you

The minute I think I’ve found you an alarm vibrates inside

Telling me to move on and let this lovely lady step a side

Why is it so difficult? Why do I always compare?

No one realises every night I unconsciously play truth or dare

Fighting my emotions as I know the answer hidden in my soul

Always trying to be in control knowing I’ll never succeed my goal

Commitment escapes me as I continue to search high and low

My heart defenceless as it’s subjected to another fatal blow

I know I’ve met you as when we meet it feels perfectly right

But how to have the courage and strength to kiss you a goodnight

Timing is everything, as the clock ticks loudly once more

The searching maybe over and I can close the commitment door

Cross the line

Cross the line

When I see you my pulse races a warm feeling inside

I can’t help but stare uncontrollably my heart has never lied

I so want to be fearless and take the uncertain leap

But shadows on my mind tell me the mountain is too steep

Chorus

To kiss your lips

To hold your hand

To hope that you are mine

To rid the fear

To take the leap

To cross the vanishing line

Why couldn’t life be simpler? When is the timing right?

I want to be by your side in the everlasting night

Curling up on the sofa, our bodies entangled tight

You look so perfect to me in the perfect candle light

I don’t know how you feel, is this my imagination?

Give me a sign I pray to you, I need some more information

The path we have is clear, together is our destination

For you to move on without me would be total devastation

Bridge

I know that we are different

I know our hearts beat just the same

I know that time will reveal

I know I’ll never forget your name

She’s gone

I will always be there

Whenever you’re in need

I watched you grow so beautifully

From that tiny helpless seed

I’ve given you my friendship

But I wanted so much more

If you ever want to return

I’ll leave that open door

Chorus

She’s gone

Moved away

Won’t come back, not today

It hurts inside

My heart is bleeding

But I’ll never give up

I’ll always keep believing

I’ve wiped away my tears

It’s hard to see you go

I try to keep my chin up

But my heart is at an all time low

Just to hold your hand once more

To feel you next to me

I stare into your eyes

But it’s only friendship that you see

Bridge

Is it too late?

She could have been the one

I wish I could tell her how I feel

But now she’s gone

I would pick her up

When she was feeling down

I’d make her laugh

Pretending I was a clown

She would call me her other half

I felt I was her boyfriend

I was on to of the world

Now the world is about to end

Next

Wasting time just waiting for that one ray of sunshine

Another lifeless graduate to join the never ending line

They all look the same and tell me the same old story

They don’t want the hard work but they want all the glory

The days are getting longer as another hopeful passes by

Rejection they can’t take they just run away and cry

Built up by their families all wanting them to succeed

But we all know what they want – the fame and the greed

Chorus (1)

Another talent

Another hopeful

Another kid just wanting fame

You haven’t got it

You’ll never have it

I don’t even know your name

These corridors full of people who will never make the grade

There only hope is a summer in another Disney parade

Get your heads out of the books if you want to go far

Life experiences of ups and downs will make you a star

Bridge

Shouting next is becoming boring and tiring

I need someone to get my cylinders firing

Now I see her, someone different, she has that certain spark

A glimmer of light shinning through the endless corridor of dark

Her perfect hair, her perfect face a perfect combination

Can she act? Can she dance? She’ll be the latest sensation

Chorus (2)

She’s a talent

She’s our hopeful

Another kid just wanting fame

She almost got it

She’ll soon have it

I need to know her name

Everyday the same

We all get up early to do our daily chores

Ironing and washing and sometimes cleaning doors

Tidying up for the visitors we never do see

This isn’t living; this isn’t a future for me

Breakfast at 7 then a packed lunch in our hand

The routine I hate, why can’t they understand

I meet the same people and we say the same things

Are we just puppets performing boredom on strings?

Chorus

Everyday the same

Nothing happens here

Going through the motion

My life I have to steer

I have to escape

This world that surrounds me

I have dreams I wan to live

Why can’t they see?

My mum always saying ‘you’ll not amount to much’

Like a rabbit wanting to escape I’m trapped inside this hutch

A brother whose dreams were dashed early on

I still have hopes and dreams that haven’t yet gone

Bridge

This can’t be our lives, this can’t be our existence

I’ll fight the regime; I’ll show you my resistance

They all do a day job that they don’t really like

We can’t afford a car so dad’s out early on his bike

Tick tock of the clock a time bomb ready to explode

People walking down the same tireless road

Let you go

It’s the toughest decision I’ve had to make

But this is the opportunity you have to take

I can’t be the one who stops you and your dream

I don’t want to be the dam stopping your stream

Inside it’s hurting and I’m screaming my love for you

But on the outside I’m blank, wanting nothing from you

The tears I shed are memories of us leaving me

Your bright future ahead is all I want you to see

I have to let you go

I have to tell you lies

My heart is breaking

There’s grey in the skies

I have to let you go

Step to one side

I have to forget

You’re on another ride

I have to escape and find a way to move one

I keep looking around, pretending you haven’t gone

The pain of you leaving is crushing my heart

Why isn’t life simple?  Can we go back to the start?

Bridge

Will I ever see you again? Will our lives past once more?

I’ll always be here waiting ready to open love’s door

I can make it

They said I couldn’t do it, they closed every open door

Sometimes I was lonely, getting knocked down to the floor

They told me I was no good, didn’t believe I could play the part

Told me to go home, go back to the very start

I didn’t want to give up, kept holding my head up high

Wiped away my tears, didn’t want them to see me cry

I’ll continue to stand tall, take small steps each and every day

I’ll get that principal roll, live my dream soon on Broadway

(Chorus)

I can make it, I believe in who I am

I can make it, this is my perfect plan

There’ll be a bright star shining, the brightest star in the darkest night

I can make it

I can make it

I can make it

As another door closes, another one opens wide

I’m running round excited, my heart fills with pride

I’ve got to tell someone, got to tell my fantastic news

I’m becoming someone special, I read the audience reviews

Open your eyes

The world around us is crumbling

Giving us no hope of survival

But how can we stop this devastation

Is it true what was said in the bible?

Have we really lost our voice?

Are we too scared to say what is wrong?

People too scared to live

Why have we left it this long?

Chorus

Open your eyes

Try not to blink

See what’s going on

It will stop and make you think

Society is lost

Community now gone

Family torn apart

You’re not the only one

Bridge

It’s not too late to change the world that we live in

But who will step up and where do we begin

Why have we created a world full of greed?

Know one caring about tomorrow

Everyone wants everything in an instant

Bringing debt and more sorrow
