Chorus: It's like I'm seeing the impossible Things I'm knowing are possible While the world is seeing gray skies All I'm seeing is the sunrise People think I'm crazy Think I'm hangin' on a maybe That the world is gon' change But the world is gon' change Verse 1: My hope is living It's breathing It's got hands and feet It's that something saying That everyone is bound to see Liberty compelled by love And unforced unity compelled by love While the world sleeps Revolutionaries dream Mothers and fathers having sweet, sweet dreams And every child, every boy and every girl Being snatched up by the rains and the whirlwinds Let's not forget that every boy and every girl Holds a vision That just might change world They just might change the world Verse 2: How does it feel to know That there's more to life that what you believe How does it feel to know That there's more to life than what you've seen How does it feel to know That the world is waiting for you That there's hope for the world There's hope for you That there's love for the world There's love for you You'll see Bridge: Somebody's been lyin' This love is not dying There's hope for you You'll see

Intro: I never knew the streets We never did meet My name's not Dre Nah, I never made beats Manana Santana Yeah, I play these strings So you can hear His heartbeat Listen to my heart beat Verse 1: Now, you lookin' at me with eyes wide open Yeah, I spit a few bars But that ain't nothin' I know a story 'bout a girl like you Her smile paintin' pictures All I see is the blues Moonlight makin' waves in her face I cried as the diamonds dripped cold from her face Yeah, cold day in September Daddy said he'd be back but she don't remember The last time she saw him Could that be why she's looking for a mister Or a sister Innocence wrote her Just to tell her that he missed her And her heart's still broken Yeah, her heart's still broken And she'll do whatever it takes Looking for a love that can fill that place Oh, oh, oh Whatever it takes Come love and fill this place Pre-Chorus: Every time you cry Every sleepless night I can hear your heart beat (repeat) Chorus: I just wanna know that you're around When I'm feelin' topsy turvy And my world is spinnin' upside down I just wanna know that you're around Just to know you're there Verse 2: Again, I never knew the streets We never did meet I had the perfect life That's what they told me They never did see that I felt so alone Tryin' to figure out how to make a house a home This alcoholic, drug-addict, Hitler in my home At times too afraid just to leave my light on Hey Marvin, "What's goin' on?" The American Dream It isn't what is seems "The prettiest people do the ugliest thing" Hey Kanye Family in shreds Working 9 to 5 just to get the latest threads And your heart's still broken Yeah, your heart's still broken And you'll do whatever it takes Lookin' for a love that can fill that place Oh, oh, oh Whatever it takes Come love and fill that place Bridge: How sick am I Of how we've implied That everyone knows How your life goes Behind closed doors Beneath the scars Well, I'm under the stars screamin' God can you hear me? God can you hear me now? God can you hear me? God can you hear me? God can you hear me now? Can you hear my heart beat?

Verse 1: I look around Valley, dry bones Can these live? Is there hope for these dead things to live again? Can these live? Is there hope for dead things to live again? You thought I'd be down Sittin' under pressure Out for the count Life lives within me I'll never lay down The world can't shake me Pre-Chorus: I've never known you to leave me I've never know you to forsake me, never I've never known you to leave me I've never known you to forsake me Verse 2: Water He walked Can I walk? I live because He lives You said some things can't be done But somebody told me That nothing's impossible Impossible is done I looked fear in the face and said You can't stay here Look fear in the face and say You can't stay here I looked fear in the face and said You can't stay here You can't stay here Chorus: I'm more than a conqueror I can feel the battle but I know the end (repeat) Bridge: I know something deep within That changes things You'll never win (repeat) --David Wade's Rap Verse--

Verse 1: I've been sitting here For a long, long, long, long time Froze by the faces of men Paralyzed by time I've come to realize That if I put my gaze in Your eyes I'll find freedom I'll see Your gaze is my prize Verse 2: I've been sitting here For a long, long, long, long time Looking for the light show of my life All wrapped up in vanities of this time I've made up my mind That I can't go another day without You Sick and tired of being sick and tired So I'll come to You Chorus: Over the stars Beyond the moon At heaven's balcony You look You are searching Here I am Look at me, God Look at me Verse 3: Man failed me time and time again Breaking every promise I've come to know That truth don't mean nothing to them I know, I know That You are faithful to the end I don't know when eternity's over But I will follow You till then Bridge: I ain't find nothin Till I found You You search the whole wide world Could You find me too

Chorus: I could find a thousand ways to show you To show you I love you To show you I do Verse 1: I'd paint a picture in the sky To catch your eyes Attach a tune to every wave And let the ocean sing Sing my song to you I thought I hit rock bottom WIth no where to go But the more I see your face I realize I'll never know the end of this road I'm still fallin' in love Verse 2: I can make it crystal clear for you I'd take the pouring rain for you And make the great exchange You take the rainbow I'll take pain It's okay The more I fall in love with You It seems my words are few I just can't find the words to say I just want you to know I love you Bridge: And if I wrote another love song Would you sing along I could sing in other languages So you could hear the song love sings Love's song to you Wo ai ni (Chinese/Mandarin), Ta'ha behki (Arabic) Te amo (Spanish), S 'agapo' (Greek) I could find a thousand ways To show you Outro: There's one place I'd rather be One face I'd rather see I'm in love, I'm in love There's a thousand ways to show my Love But only way to prove I'm Yours And You're mine For You I'd die

Believer 05:47
Verse 1: Little girl Innocence and purity in my eyes No shame, no fear, no need for the lies I say I wanna fly, so I close my eyes Skyrise, nightline, bird's eyes You can be whatever you want Mama told me as I sat in the skies Young in the world's eyes Just young enough to believe I can fly Then I fell He was babysittin' me again Sit on my lap and I'll show you something Innocence was all I knew Still tryna learn how to tie my shoe Suddenly, I knew something was wrong As he grabbed my hips and asked for a kiss He said I won't be long Just watch TV and move like this There it went, Moving me, changing me, rearranging me Strippin' me of my dignity Murdering all my purity Leaving me feelin' dirty Before I even knew what was stolen from me Here it goes Now I'm wondering Should I be telling somebody Or just keep it to myself And hope that it was all a dream Pre-Chorus: My grandma said There's a God up there He's surely alive She promised me He cares My grandma said There's a God up there Who loves me He loves me Chorus: Make me a believer Though I've never seen Your face I wanna be a believer I wanna know Love again Verse 2: Ready for the world, money in my gaze A momentary glance at life that I made A glance in the eyes of the child that I made Gripped by shame, I walked away Waitress by day, mistress by night Gotta pay the bills, gotta keep the lights on And I can still hear mama Like I'm sittin' in the sky But it seems to be true I've forgotten how to fly I took a step If I could just remember how to fly I'd close my eyes and fly away Complicated situations Leaving me frustrated So I'm standing on the roof Yeah the 35th floor Waitin' on the next wind to blow I'll let it all go Maybe I'll fly away If not, then I'll die today There it went Moving me, changing me, and draining me strippin' me of all my dreams and my dignity Leaving me feelin' defeated and worthless Aimlessly watching the same old scene The same old scene

Verse 1: Dark blue haze and purple skies It's clear to me that another day fades away Crickets sing a melody that tell me Everything that I don't wanna hear I'm not ashamed to tell you That I'm so in love That I'd just sit here and wait for you Hook: 'Cause I know Dawn comes just before the day These moonlit skies are only telling me to stay (repeat) Chorus: You're coming home Verse 2: Light breaks and the earth cries Something 'bout the sunlight Flushing fear away Birds sing a new song Saying that you'll come home This sunrise says you saw the northern star in the sky last night I know you've seen the love in my eyes Bridge: 'Cause my love is stronger Than a hurricane And it keeps raining And my love lasts longer Than time Yet the clock's still going On and on (repeat) Outro: So I'll wait for you As long as the sun waits for the moon And I'll search for you Like only lovers do

Vows 05:49
Verse 1: Long before the birds started singing And the flowers started blooming He knew her name He'd seen her face Chorus: No one, no one can love me the way you do No one, no one can love you the way I do Verse 2: Your love is an all consuming fire You've set me ablaze Your love is like a hurricane You've got me dancing in the rain Verse 3: He knew her name He saw her face And loved her the same Would you take my name I'll lay down my life for You Bridge: He said I'm willing I will I do She said I'm willing I will I do

Little Girl 05:16
Verse 1: I saw a masterpiece When I looked into your eyes Dreams of tameless color And vision like the stars See the world's just big enough To conquer in a day I saw hope ignite in your eyes When I looked in your face Chorus: Little girl with real big dreams A big heart and bright eyes A soul that sings A new song for every day Little girl, little girl Get up and dream again Verse 2: Time has walked away With all the dreams I saw on that day Man's faithful failures have carried you away Your heart sings a new song That the world is waiting to hear So get up and dream again Even the stars are waiting for you Waiting for you Bridge: See, all creation waits for you to stand up When you stand The oceans put their hands up Don't be blinded by the ways of man Or dismayed when they come to you And yeah, they fail again See, it's a masterpiece conspiracy To take your dreams And trap you in complacency Where lies are exposed Truth has been told So You were made to move with the Father You can call Him, Papa Dream big, He's dreaming right with ya There's a new song in every day So, what's your heart saying?
10.
Verse 1: You're likely to see butterflies You're likely to see messy lines You're likely to see imaginary things Coming to life in the eyes of a child Chorus: Don't let the sun go down on your dreams Don't let the things you see Change what you believe 'Cause there's a little child Sitting in there So, don't let your age create a love affair Verse 2: You're likely to hear a new song for the day You're likely to hear a new sound You're likely to hear the most ridiculous things Because from the mouth of a child Only comes what they believe Outro: So, little girl Don't lose the color in your eyes Little boy Don't forget the mysteries of life Won't you know that I am proud of you When you are sleeping Won't you know that I am proud of you When you're awake
11.
Verse 1: She was five foot three Had a story like a symphony And her eyes were like puddles of a mystery But those brown eyes Were all that I could see through her disguise of a smile In the Land of the Free And the Home of the Brave Bought by the American Dream Oh what a shame To be stripped of your name Its funny how quickly things can change Pre-Chorus: With minor lift And a major fall It seems you rise Then you're stripped of it all With a minor lift And a major fall You think you've seen it all No, you haven't seen it all (repeat) Chorus: Justice shouts from the middle of the crowd I have a name for you Freedom ran in the middle of the night To prepare a place for you Verse 2: And that scarlet letter She wore on her chest And that scarlet lipstick He smeared on her face That alabaster jar you saw From the windows of your car She was standing on the corner You drove right by She was standing right in front of you You closed your eyes Home is the chain That took away her name Oh, where will she go Nobody knows now
12.
Show Me 06:01
Verse 1: I know a story Told by the heartaches of yesterday I know a city Built by the hands on shame I know a people Who will be known By how they will And how they have overcome Chorus: Have you seen worse things Than being alone Have you seen worse things Than losing your way home Is it true what they told me That a blind man believes What you tell him If he has never seen If he has never seen Verse 2: So, show me the way it ought to be Could you show me family Could you show me peace I've yet to find one Who doesn't bleed like you and me Could you show me the way Oh, Father please Show me the way Oh, Father please Bridge/Outro: What's having a friend If you ain't got no peace What's having a home Without a family (Repeat) Show me a friend Show me peace Show me a home Show me a family (Repeat) I need a friend I need peace I need a home I need a family (Repeat) Show me a friend Show me peace Show me a home Show me a family I need a friend I need peace I need a home I need a family
13.
Verse 1: Here I am Standing in the rain again Trusting you to calm the winds Here I am Waiting in the wilderness You said I was made for this Pre-Chorus: You looked at me with those waves in your eyes Asking me Do you know the way you move me (Repeat) Chorus: You held me hand You pulled me away My safe place So why should I be afraid You held my hand You pulled me away My safe place Do you know the way you move me Verse 2: Every sunrise and silhouette Of butterflies floating in the sunset Still only gazing at me Do you know the way you move me (Repeat) Bridge: Your delight in me Is fear's demise Your eyes at me Brings tears to my eyes (Repeat)

Sunrise 04:18
Verse 1: All of my life I've seen the light of the day Pass away with the pages That I might've let slip away All of my life I've a seen a light that Finds a way to move the darkness aside Chorus: Oh, oh, oh One bright and early morning I'm gonna find my way I've seen tomorrow's promise Fail one too many times And I've yet to find my way I've yet to find my way Verse 2: All of my dark days fade away At the light of your eyes When everyone else walks away You stay the same You never change And I can't, I won't Let this moment slip away Bridge: I'm looking for a sunrise Looking in your eyes I know that you're right beside me
