Where I Am Lyrics
I’ve been runnin around this world for a long time
For a long, long, long, long time
I’ve been searching for something that’s never been on time
Well, it’s never been on my time
They tell me to slow down
You’re gonna fall right down
Maybe you should go another way
But I won’t give up
Come on now fill my cup
Cause, yeah, I know I’m on my way
Sometimes you gotta sit and wait for the tide to come in
Oh, this is where I am and it’s okay
Cause I’m doing the best that I can, anyway
The winds maybe rough
But I’m hanging tough
You know what I mean, eh?!
You may knock me down, throw me around
But I’m movin still, yeah, I’m on my way
The muddy waters, they try, they try to drown me
And take me to the sea
But I’m learnin to sail on the waves around me
They won’t get the best of me
Sometimes I lose the light
I get lost in the night, but the dark begins a brand new day
And like the sunrise, I open up my eyes,
Cause yeah, I know I’m on my way
Sometimes you gotta sit and wait for the tide to come in
Oh, this is where I am and it’s okay
Cause I’m doing the best that I can, anyway
The winds maybe rough
But I’m hanging tough
You know what I mean, eh?!
You may knock me down, throw me around
But I’m movin still, yeah, I’m on my way
Days will come when you sink in the sand
Lost and alone unsure of the plan
But you gotta hang on, keep movin on
You can’t run away
Oh, cause you’re on your way
Oh, this is where I am and it’s okay
Cause I’m doing the best that I can, anyway
The winds maybe rough
But I’m hanging tough
You know what I mean, eh?!
You may knock me down, throw me around
But I’m movin still, yeah, I’m on my way

WHEN WE COME TOGETHER
I don't wanna fight with you,
Let's walk hand in hand
I wanna live a life that's true.
Please just understand
We've made mistakes
We've been foolish and wrong
Please, come on and sing with me
Join me in this song
When we come together
We can make something beautiful
When we come together we can inspire
When we come together, we can change the world
Let's come together you and I
When we see we're all the same
Life isn't just a game
We know we can't do it alone
Perfect I'm not, but I'm givin it all that I got
Put your fears aside
You've got nothing to hide.
When we come together
We can make something beautiful
When we come together we can inspire
When we come together, we can change the world
Let's come together you and I
Oh I hear the music
Oh I see the light
Ohhhhh, doesn't this feel right
This music that we're makin,
Our fears are finally breakin
Ohh, Such a sweet sight
When we come together
We can make something beautiful
When we come together, we can inspire
When we come together, we can change the world
Let's come together, you and I
Let's come together you and I
Let's come together you and I

Oscar

OSCAR
Morning comes
The act begins
It's time, to set the stage
A Colgate smile
A brush of rouge,
A hint of colour always hides the blues
I deserve an Oscar for my performance everyday
I deserve an Oscar for this smile on my face
I may be crying inside but this smile what it hides
This life is a charade
I don't want an Oscar, Time to end this masquerade.
A heart barely beating
Lungs tired of breathing
A body storing tears
The mind keeps racing
These thoughts I'm facing
Feeding all my fears.
I deserve an Oscar for my performance everyday
I deserve an Oscar for this smile on my face
I may be crying inside but this smile what it hides
This life is a charade
I don't want an Oscar, Time to end this masquerade.
Oh, I'm over, I'm over, I'm over this masquerade
Oh, I'm over, I'm over, of being afraid
I don't want an Oscar for my performance everyday
I don't want an Oscar
I've got to find a better way.
I may be crying inside but this smile what it hides
This life is a charade (Life isn't a charade)
I don't want an Oscar, ready to end this masquerade.
Evening comes
The calm begins,
I set aside my brush of rouge
I played my part,
I did impress but it's a role, I'm ready to lose.

My Voice

MY VOICE
I've been singin my song and it's been all wrong
Never lettin one in, I've been so far gone
Open I was not, faith I forgot
No hope on the course
Fear was my guide, My path was to hide
But inside me I've found the source
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm finally finding my voice, now sing with me
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
I'm taking control, there's strength in my soul
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It makes us feel free
Come on now and raise your voice
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Change is never easy, you deal with the cards
Days I can never please me, can't let down my guard
But I'm growin inside, the anger subsides
Bitterness fades away
I let myself loose, I speak out my truth
You know you've got nothin to prove
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm finally finding my voice, now sing with me
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm taking control, there's strength in my soul
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It makes us feel free
Come on now and raise your voice
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Try to run away, it'll catch you, it'll catch you someday
It'll knock, knock, knock at your door
Let it in and you will sore
Step on into the fire, you'll only go higher
Oooohhh
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm finally finding my voice, now sing with me
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm taking control, there's strength in my soul
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It makes us feel free
Come on now and raise your voice
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh

My Turn to Shine

MY TURN TO SHINE
I've paid my dues, done my time
I'm all about cashin in
Flown the miles and earned these wings
Found my voice, gonna sing
I've been bruised and battered
Torn and tattered
I got up when they all said stay down
But the fire burned and I waited my turn
To set my flame alight in this world
Now the stars have finally found me
I got spotlights all around me
Everybody look at me
Cuz it's my turn to shine
Call it fate, call it destiny
All I know is it belongs to me
Cuz it's my turn, it's my turn to shine
I've mixed with faces and played the scene
Still they don't know my name
Been to places that I shouldn't have been
Just to stay a part of the game
I've been bruised and battered
Torn and tattered
I got up when they all said stay down
But the fire burned and I waited my turn
To set my flame alight in this world
Now the stars have finally found me
I got spotlights all around me
Everybody look at me
Cuz it's my turn to shine
Call it fate, call it destiny
All I know is it belongs to me
Cuz it's my turn, it's my turn to shine
I've shaken the shackles, taken the tackles
Fallen but now I'm up again
I'm here to do battle, I've learned to survive
I'm still alive, wo oh, ooh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh
Now the stars have finally found me
I got spotlights all around me
Everybody look at me
Cuz it's my turn to shine
Call it fate, call it destiny
All I know is it belongs to me
Cuz it's my turn, it's my turn to shine

Maybe Someday

MAYBE SOMEDAY
Been a long time
Since I'd last seen your face
Your smile, your laugh, the way you made it okay
Now you're here but, now you're not alone
So now I'm left to think, maybe someday
Maybe someday, I will find someone like you
Maybe someday, Love won't make me blue
Maybe someday, Maybe Someday
Maybe someday I'll find someone like you.
When we first met,
Did we ever hit it off
I thought you could be the one
for the rest of my life
We were just friends,
But I always wanted more
So I guess I'm left to think maybe someday
Maybe someday, I will find someone like you
Maybe someday, love won't make me blue
Maybe someday, Maybe Someday, maybe
Maybe someday I'll find someone like you.
She walks down the aisle dressed in white
Like a picture in a magazine
Now, you're headed for your wedding night
A tear in my eye, as I watch the limousine
In my mind, it'll remain and old fantasy
But I'll never give up love's somewhere for me.
Now, when we meet
You're hand in hand on the street
You smile, you laugh, you look better than okay
It gives me joy to see a love like yours
So now, I leave and hope maybe some day
Maybe someday, I will find someone like you
Maybe someday, love won't make me blue
Maybe someday, Maybe Someday,
Maybe Someday I'll find someone like you
Maybe someday I'll find someone like you
Maybe someday, I'll find someone like you.

In My Arms

IN MY ARMS
Where are you now, these arms are getting old
Hugging things they don't want to hold
Knowing that they have a place
Waiting for that perfect face
Hurry so I can hold you in my arms
I can't wait to hold you in my arms
We'll feel the missing piece in our embrace
Loneliness it brings a pain,
It cuts right through your core
Hurry, so I can hold you in my arms.
I don't need you, but I want you
I don't care to, fight or taunt you
I only want to, love you for all time
Come, come be in my arms
Come, come be in my arms
Waiting for the day the sun will shine
From up above please stars give me a sign
Darkness keeps me company
It's trying to control me
Hurry so I can hold you in my arms
I don't need you, but I want you
I don't care to, fight or taunt you
I only want to, love you for all time
Come, come be in my arms
Come, come be in my arms

I Got Your Back Love

I GOT YOUR BACK LOVE
Knew you since I was three
Didn't know how important you'd be
Growin like little kids do
One, two buckle my shoe
I was having a tough day
So I called and I heard you say
I got your back, love
I got your back, love
I got your back
You were so far away
I said I was thru with prayin
Down in my bottomless pit,
You said, "Stop it now, don't you quit"
I'm getting on a plane, to make you feel yourself again
Cuz I got your back, love
I got your back, love
I got your back
I got your back, love
I got your back, love
Oh I'll wake you when you don't feel alive
I got your back, love, I got your back, love
Even when you've given up on tryin
I got your back, love
I got your back, love
Oh, I got your back
My feelings took control of me
And ate the best parts of me
I hungered for misery
Stripped myself of all my joy
You'd seen me go there before
You said, "This ain't the end of your story"
Cuz I got your back, love
I got your back, love
I got your back
I got your back, love
I got your back, love
Oh I'll wake you when you don't feel alive
I got your back love, I got your back love
Even when you've given up on tryin
I got your back, love
I got your back, love
Oh, I got your back
Thank you, oh I thank you
For bein by my side
For givin me the strength
when I didn't think I could get by
So if you're ever feelin down, you know I'll be around
Cuz I got your back, love
I got your back, love
I got your back
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I got your back, I got your back
I got your back, I got your back
I got your back, I got your back
I got your back, I got your back
Ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh
I-I-I-I-I got your back

Haircut & a Shave
02:23

HAIRCUT AND A SHAVE
If you've got some karma to be paid
Like a hit, it can get you
At a haircut and a shave
You better watch out, karma knows your name
You can't hide behind a haircut and a shave.
Born a Catholic boy in Italy,
He came to America, to New York City
He was rough, yeah, that boy was mean
he was sentenced to death at just 19
If you've got some karma to be paid
Like a hit, it can get you
At a haircut and a shave
You better watch out, karma knows your name
You can't hide behind a haircut and a shave.
Disappeared, the witnesses did
Hence a mistrial, Anastasia lived
Off this time and times too many
But then one day he ‘d pay a plenty
If you've got some karma to be paid
Like a hit, it can get you,
At a haircut and a shave
You better watch out, karma knows your name
You can't hide behind a haircut and a shave.
With his bodyguard outside
Albert relaxed back in his chair
The barbershop quintet some say
Brought him to his final lair
The first rounds were shot
Albert leapt towards what he thought
Were the hired assassins
someone had bought
But all was against him,
even the mirror's was on karma's side,
cuz when karma's in control,
there's no where you can hide.
So if you're bad and if you're mean
If you've hurt someone and justice went unseen
There's a cosmic law, oh it's in control
Karma's got a plan, you better save your soul.

Be Gentle on Me

BE GENTLE ON ME
So many times, I've opened the door
Just to have it closed again
So many times, I've cried on the floor
To find comfort in the pain again
Give me a time, I'm no longer alone
Teach me there's nothing to hide
Be Gentle on me
It's not easy you see
To let you take my heart to where it wants to be
I bruise easily
There was a time, I thought I knew truth
But I was surrounded by lies
There was a time, I laughed in my youth
But now I'm no longer suprised
Give me a time to believe once again
Teach me that love will survive
Be Gentle on me
It's not easy you see
To let you take my heart to where it wants to be
I bruise easily
These walls were meant to be broken down
I won't make you climb
If you can love me honestly
We'll live in the sublime
Be Gentle on me
It's not easy you see
To let you take my heart to where it wants to be
I bruise easily
