State
Of Mind
Used to sit and worry
about the future
Worrying about the future
don’t change the past
Used to think that tomorrow
would be better
But now I know that I’m
doing the best I can
I’m just a man trying
to find the reasons why I stand
Took some time to realize
that I am what I am
And I wanna be rich,
I wanna be happy
And live inside a love
that shines bright enough to last a lifetime
I wanna be rich more
than a fantasy
Ride the winds and climb,
cause it’s all a state of mind
Wake up in the morning
and I turn the pages
Don’t understand what’s
going down
Everybody’s acting so
outrageous
It’s gonna take a lot
of love to turn things around
I’m just a man trying
to find the reasons why I stand
Took some time to realize
that I am what I am
And I wanna be rich,
I wanna be happy
And live inside a love
that shines bright enough to last a lifetime
I wanna be rich, more
than a fantasy
Ride the winds and climb
cause it’s all a state of mind
Hear people talk about
going to heaven
Grab a little bit of
heaven right here on earth
Troubled times lead to
healing times
I was sad now I’m feeling
fine
It’s the taking and the
giving that makes this life worth living,
Makes this life worth
living
I wanna be rich, I wanna
be happy
And live inside a love
that shines bright enough to last a lifetime
I wanna be rich, more
than a fantasy
Ride the winds and fly,
Spread your wings and
fly
Cause its all a state
of mind
Ride the winds and climb,
Spread your wings and
fly
Cause its all a state
of mind
Keep On Hoping (With
Jason Mraz)
Do you know what it’s
like to wonder?
Do you know what it’s
like to be alone in love
With the one you adore?
Do you know what it’s
like to hold her?
Do you know what it’s
like to feel the way I do?
Well if she only knew
I’m gonna keep on hoping
She catches my smile
And I’m gonna keep on
hoping
That she likes my style
And I’m gonna keep on
hoping
That one day she’ll be
mine
Did you ever wish you
could get away?
And do you know what
it’s like to want her?
And to breathe her name
In every song you sing?
She is in everything
I’m gonna keep on hoping
That she catches my smile
And I’m gonna keep on
hoping
That she likes my style
And I’m gonna keep on
hoping
That one day she’ll be
mine
Did you ever wish you
could get away,
Even for a day,
Where they don’t know
your name?
Did I ever think I could
find someone
Who would be the one
to love?
Do you know what it’s
like to wonder?
Yes I know what it’s
like to feel the way you do
And this one’s for you
I’m gonna keep on hoping
That she catches your
smile
And I’m gonna keep on
hoping
That she likes your style
And I’m gonna keep on
hoping
One day you’ll find love
That’s why I’m gonna
keep on kissing
Her in my dreams
And I’m gonna keep on
Waiting for those yellows
to change to greens
And I’m gonna keep on
Hoping one day she’ll
be mine
I’m gonna keep on hoping
Waited All My Life
Whenever I am near to
you,
I don’t know quite what
to do.
My body starts shaking.
Baby I’m not faking.
If you would turn your
eyes to me,
It would be so clear
to see,
That I’m not mistaken.
And I’m hoping that you’ll
see
What we’ll say upon that
special day
With our hearts is more
than words can say
You’ll be in these arms
of mine eternally
And I have waited all
my life for you
But I didn’t know it.
I have waited all my
life for you,
But I didn’t know it.
It’s not the way you
look at me,
Or your personality.
It’s deeper than these
things
And it’s been going on
so long.
You give your love so
naturally
You go to my heart you
see
You’re all I’m dreaming
Baby we were meant to
be.
What we’ll say upon this
special day
With our hearts is more
than words can say
Now you’re in these arms
of mine eternally
And I have waited all
my life for you
But I didn’t know it.
I have waited all my
life for you,
But I didn’t know it.
I’ll get along without
the moon
I’ll get along without
the stars
I’ll get along without
the rainbows in the sky
I’ll get along without
the joy
That will surely fill
my heart
When I can look in to
your eyes
Without love I can’t
survive
And I have waited all
my life for you
But I didn’t know it.
I have waited all my
life for you,
But I didn’t know it.
Expressions
Of Love (With Stevie Wonder)
How would it be,
If you and me, through
our love,
Could improve the world?
How would it be if we
would see with our hearts?
It would be sweet expression
of love.
How does it feel
When you reveal to someone
that they’ve found a friend?
How does it feel when
someone whispers your name?
Feels like a sweet expression
of love
Expressions of love
Can’t deny even when
we’re saying goodbye
And just when it feels
as if love’s at an end
It comes back again like
the sun in spring
That’s the way of everything.
Here’s to hope and…
Expressions of love can’t
deny
Even when we’re saying
goodbye
And just when it feels
as if love’s at an end
It comes back again like
the sun in spring
That’s the way of everything
Here’s to hope and time… |
if
You'Re Gonna Leave
Maybe I’m crazy, I can
hear you but you seem for far away
Maybe I’m lazy, or maybe
we got lost
Somewhere in between
the moments
Can’t remember when the
changes came and made this thing so sad
If you’re gonna leave,
that’s okay
If you’re gonna stay,
let me say
I wanna get it back the
love we had
Before it gets too late
If you’re gonna leave,
that’s okay
If you’re gonna stay,
let me say
I wanna get it back,
the love we had
Before it gets too late,
don’t let it get too late
Time is illusion
Yesterday can be so far
away
Here’s to confusion
Or maybe we will find
Somewhere out beyond
the stars or in our hearts
There is a method to
this madness that pertains.
If you’re gonna leave
that’s okay
If you’re gonna stay
then let me say
I wanna get it back the
love we had
Before it gets too late
If you’re gonna leave
that’s okay
If you’re gonna stay
then let me say
I wanna get it back the
love we had
Before it gets too late
It’s getting to the point
that I’m
I wanna do it right this
time
I wanna hold you in my
arms
I never wanna say goodbye
Again
If you’re gonna leave,
that’s okay
If you’re gonna stay,
then let me say
I wanna get it back,
the love we had
Before it gets too late
If you’re gonna leave
then that’s okay
If you’re gonna stay
then let me say
I wanna get it back,
the love we had
Before it gets too late,
don’t let it get too late.
If you’re gonna leave,
that’s okay
If you’re gonna stay,
then let me say
I wanna get it back,
the love we had
Before it gets too late
If you’re gonna leave,
if you’re gonna stay
Before it gets too late
If you’re gonna leave,
baby won’t you stay
I wanna get it back,
the love we had
Before it gets too late
If you’re gonna leave,
that’s okay
If you’re gonna stay,
then let me say
I wanna get it back,
the love we had
Before it gets too late,
Don’t let it get too
late
Mystery Girl
You’ve got the power
pick me up
When I’m feeling down
Just the memory of you
can turn my world around
Because a mystery girl
is better than a pearl from far across the sea
And though you strayed
far from home
Well the memory of you
lives in me
If you should hear a
sea shell voice from long ago
Tell her I’m still the
same even though it isn’t so
Because a mystery girl
is better than a pearl from far across the sea
And though you strayed
far from home
Well the memory lives
in me
You’re my mystery girl
Wondering if you were
into me, the way I was in to you
The memory of you lives
in me
In the things I see and
the mystery is you
You’re my mystery girl
A mystery girl is better
than a pearl from far across the sea
And though you strayed
far from home
Well the memory of you
lives in me.
Everybody
Picture yourself in world
where there's no one else.
Nobody anywhere.
A moment ago there were
voices and faces to look upon,
Can't see them anywhere.
Nothing more to say and
no one left to say it to anyway.
Please listen to what
i say.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody is free to
make a difference.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody is free to
make a difference in this world.
Picture a world where
the people all feel there worth.
Children are everywhere.
There is a reason for
everyone's time on earth.
Wondering why you should
care.
Nothing more to say.
And only love can see
us through anyway.
Please listen to what
i say.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody is free to
make a difference.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody is free to
make a difference.
You don't have to be
a big celebrity.
To feel the power, the
power in your soul
You don't have to be
a big star on mtv
To realize that in your
eyes there's a view
That only you can see.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody is free to
make a difference.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody is free to
make a difference in this world.
Sittin' In The Middle
(Dedicate To Donny Hathaway)
You have given so much
to me
A chance to find my destiny
Feeling is believing
And I’m feeling fine
Fine despite the things
I know
There is no place I’d
rather go
Or be here is my destiny
And now’s the time for
Sittin’ in the middle
of the ones I love
Nothing else matters
Sittin’ in the middle
of the ones I love
Surrounded by the light
Sittin’ in the middle
of the ones I love
Nothing can shatter
Sittin’ in the middle
of the ones I love
Surrounded by these city
streets so full of noise
Where people walk around
with style and poise
And every now and then
is all the time
All the time is all the
same
To me my mind is just
a picture frame you see
And we are only passing
through
Sittin’ in the middle
of the ones I love
Nothing else matters
Sittin’ in the middle
of the ones I love
Surrounded by the light
Sittin’ in the middle
of the ones I love
Nothing can shatter
This notion in my mind
that all we do
Will fade away in time
but I’ll remember you
Well I’ll remember you
Everything is everything
Where is the love you
said you’d bring to me
And someday we will all
be free
Everywhere everyplace
I believe in the power of the human race to make a waking
dream reality.
Sittin’ in the middle
of the ones we love
Nothing else matters
Sittin’ in the middle
of the ones we love
Surrounded by their light
Sittin’ in the middle
of the ones we love
Nothing can shatter
Sittin’ in the middle
of and
I remember Donny Hathaway
And I remember how he
used to sing
Everything is everything
and I remember the ghetto
And I remember where
is the love you said you’d bring
When someday someday
you said we would all be free |
