Sunrise

VERSE:
All of my life, I've
Seen light of the day pass away
With the pages that
I might have let slip away
But all of my life, I've
Seen this 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
'Cause 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:
All of my dark days
Pass away
In the light of your eyes
When everyone else walks away
You've stayed the same
When people have changed
I can't, I won't
Let this moment slip away
BRIDGE:
I'm looking for a sunrise
I'm looking for your eyes
I know that You're right beside me

A Thousand Ways
04:38
|

CHORUS:
I could find a thousand ways to show you
To show you I love you
To show you I do
VERSE:
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:
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
VERSE:
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
05:37
|

VERSE:
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
Skyline, nightrise, 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
I knew something was wrong
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 knew what was stolen from me
Here it goes
Now I'm wondering
Should I be telling somebody
Or keep it to myself
And hope that it was all a dream
Hope that it was all a dream
PRE-CHORUS:
My grandma said
There's a God up there
Who's surely alive
She promised me He cares
My grandma said
There's a God up there
Who loves me
She said 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:
Ready for the world, money in my gaze
A momentary glance at life that I made
A gaze 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
It seems to be true
I've forgotten how to fly
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
35th floor
Waitin on the next wind to blow
I'll let it all go
Maybe I'll fly away
If not, I'll die today
There it went
Moving me, changing me, 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

Just Wanna Know

INTRO:
I never knew the streets
We neva did meet
My name's not Dre
Nah, I neva made beats
Manana Santana
Yeah, I play these strings
So, you can hear His heart sing
Listen to His heart beat
VERSE:
Now, you looking at me with eyes wide open
Yeah, I spit a few bars
But that ain't nothin'
I heard a story 'bout a girl like you
Her smile paintin' pictures
But all I see is the blues
Moonlight makin' waves in her face
I cried as the diamonds dripped cold from her face
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
PRE-CHORUS:
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
Whatever it takes
(Come love)
And fill that place
Every time you cried
Every sleepless night
I could hear your heart beat
CHORUS:
I just wanna know that you're around
When I'm feeling topsy turvy
When my world's spinnin' upside down
I just wanna know that you're around
Just to know you're there
Just to know you're there for me
Just to know you're there for me
VERSE:
Again I neva knew the streets
We neva did meet
I had the perfect life
That's what told me
They neva did see that I felt so alone
Tryna figure out what makes a house a home
This alcoholic, drug addict, Hitler in my home
At times to afraid just to leave my light on
Hey Marvin, what's going on?
The American dream, it isn't what it seems
The prettiest people
Do the ugliest thing
Hey Kanye
Family in shreds
Working nine to five just to get the latest threads
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 ya hear me?
God can ya hear me now?
God can ya hear me?
God can ya hear me?
God can ya hear me now?
Can ya hear my heartbeat?

Heaven's Balcony
06:33
|

VERSE:
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:
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:
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 found nothin'
Till I've found You
You search the whole wide world
Could You find me too
