"Believe"

"Believe"

Children sleeping, snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling like bells in the distance
We were dreamers not so long ago
But one by one we all had to grow up
When it seems the magic's slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas day

Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe

Trains move quickly to their journey's end
Destinations are where we begin again
Ships go sailing far across the sea
Trusting starlight to get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas day

Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe [x4]

Just believe

"Bells Of New York City"

"Bells Of New York City"

There's a pale winter moon in the sky
Coming through my window
And the park is laid out like a bed below
It's a cold dark night and my heart melts like the snow
And the bells of New York City tell me not to go

Ooooh...
Ooooh...

It's always this time of year that my thoughts undo me
With the ghosts of many lifetimes all about
But from these mad heights I can always hear the sound
Of the bells of New York City singing all around

Ooooh...
Ooooh...

Stay with me
Stay with me
Refuge from these broken dreams
Wait right here
Awake with me
On silent snow-filled streets

Sing to me one song for joy and one for redemption
And whatever's in between that I call mine
With the street lamp light to illuminate the grey
And the bells of New York City calling me to stay
The bells of New York City calling me to stay.

Ooooh...
Ooooh...
Ooooh...
Ooooh...

"Below The Line"

"Below The Line"

Big world
Please do not swallow us up
Please do not blind our eyes
With ocean blue

Young girl
She’s got time left to grow up
See the light of hope in her eyes
She gives to you

And now I know
Just what we’re fighting for
How long to go
Until we ask for more

[Chorus:]
And we all might find ourselves
Living below the line
Still living below
The line

One word
Strong as the beating of drums
Loud as the voice inside
It’s more than enough

Fire
Under a burning red sun
Wake up the harmless sky
Show some love

And now I know
Just what we’re fighting for
How long to go
Until we ask for more

[Chorus:]
And we all might find ourselves
Living below the line
Still living below
The line

Oh oh
And when I stopped to feel, the night began to fall
Oh oh
And in the silence here, the heart of it all
Oh oh
Sometimes it’s hard to find a way to rise above
Oh oh
But now we find our self and know

Just what we’re fighting for
How long to go
Until we ask for more

[Chorus:]
Now we all might find ourselves
Living below the line
We’re all living below
The line
We’re living below the line
We’re all living below
The line

"Brave"

"Brave"

Wake up, wake up, the sun cannot wait for long
Reach out, reach out before it fades away
You will find the warmth when you surrender
Smile into the fear and let it play

You wanna run away, run away
And you say that it can't be so
You wanna look away, look away
But you stay 'cause it's all so close
When you stand up and hold out your hand
In the face what I don't understand
My reason to be brave

Hold on, hold on so strong, time just carries on
All that you thought was wrong is pure again
You can't hide forever from the thunder
Look into the storm and feel the rain

You wanna run away, run away
And you say that it can't be so
You wanna look away, look away
But you stay 'cause it's all so close
When you stand up and hold out your hand
In the face what I don't understand
My reason to be brave

Go on, go on

You wanna run away run away
And you say that it can't be so
You wanna look away look away
But you stay 'cause it's all so close
When you stand up and hold out your hand
In the face what I don't understand
My reason to be brave

"Bring Him Home"
(from "Les Miserables" musical)

"Bring Him Home"
(from "Les Miserables" musical)

Valjean
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die
Let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

"Broken Vow"

"Broken Vow"

Tell me his name
I want to know
The way he looks
And where you go
I need to see his face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end

Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
While I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own

[Chorus:]
I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time

[Chorus]

I close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There's more to love than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes

I'd give away my soul
To hold you once again
And never let this promise end

[Modified Chorus:]
I let you go
I let you fly
Now that I know I’m asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

"Canto Alla Vita"
(feat. the Corrs)

"Canto Alla Vita"
(feat. the Corrs)

Dedicato a chi colpevole o innocente
perso in questo mare
si è arreso alla corrente
chi non è mai stato vincente?

Dedicato a chi aspetta una speranza

davanti ad un dolore
nel freddo di una stanza

Dedicato a chi cerca la sua libertà

Canto alla vita
alla sua bellezza
ad ogni sua ferita
ogni sua caressa

STRU.

I sing to life and to it's tragic beauty
To pain and to strife, but all that dances through me
The rise and the fall; i've lived through it all

Dedicato a chi la sente inaridita
come fosse sabbia asciutta fra le dita
e la sente già finita

Canto alla vita
negli occhi tuoi riflessa
fragile e infinita
terra a noi promessa

Canto alla vita
canto a voce piena
a questo nostro viaggio
che ancora ci incatena

Ci chiama

Non dubitare mai
Non dubitare mai
Non lasciarla mai da sola
da sola
... ancora ...

Canto alla vita
alla sua bellezza

Canto alla vita
canto a voce piena
a questo nostro viaggio
che ancora ci incatena

Ci chiama...

"Caruso"

"Caruso"

Qui dove il mare luccica e tira forte il vento
Su una vecchia terrazza davanti al golfo di Surriento
Un uomo abbraccia una ragazza dopo che aveva pianto
Poi si schiarisce la voce e ricomincia il canto
Te voglio bene assaie ma tanto bene sai
É una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai

Vide le luci in mezzo al mare pensó alle notti lá in America
Ma erano solo le lampare e la bianca scia di un'elica
Sentí il dolore nella musica si alzó dal pianoforte
Ma quando vide la luna uscire da un nuvola
Gli sembró piú dolce anche la morte
Guardó negli occhi la ragazza quegli occhi verdi come il mare
Poi all'improvviso uscí una lacrima e lui credette di affogare
Te voglio bene assaie ma tanto tanto bene sai
É una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai

Potenza della lircica dove ogni dramma é un falso
Che con un pó di trucco e con la mimica puoi diventare un altro
Ma due occhi che ti guardano cosí vicini e veri
Ti fan scordare le parole confondono i pensieri
Cosí diventa tutto piccolo anche le nottie lá in America
Ti volti e vedi la tua vita come lá scia di un'elica
Ma si é la vita che finisce ma lui non ci pensó poi tanto
Anzi si sentiva giá felice e ricominció il suo canto
Te voglio bene assaie ma tanto tanto bene sai
É una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai
Te voglio bene assaie ma tanto tanto bene sai
É una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai

"Changing Colours"

"Changing Colours"

You look at me with uncertainty
You look at me with urgency
You look at me with fear in your eyes
Like you're about to fall away

Don't be afraid to change your colours now
I've known you all summer and you rose above it all
I see you hesitate to fall now
But it's a pretty good view from down here too

When the wind takes you it takes me too
And when you change colours, I'll change mine too
Try not to think and I will try too
And when you let go, I will let go too

I knew you when you were green and small
Like a feather on a wing, so long
You know I will miss you when you are gone
But don't be afraid if you just can't hang on

Cause when the wind takes you it takes me too
When you change colours, I'll change mine too
Try not to think and I will try too
When you let go, I will let go too

When the wind takes you it takes me too
And when you change colours, I'll change mine too
Try not to think and I will try too
And when you let go, I will let go too

The cold air is pushing hard on you
I know what you're saying, I can feel it too
You'll go through changes and I'll go through them too
Don't be afraid now, no don't be afraid, don't be afraid

Cause when the wind takes you it takes me too
When you change colours, I'll change mine too
Try not to think and I will try too
When you let go, I will let go too

(from "Into the Woods" & "Sweeny Todd" musicals)

"Children Will Listen / Not While I'm Around"
(from "Into the Woods" & "Sweeny Todd" musicals)

Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Careful the things you do
Children will see and learn
Children may not obey
But children will listen
Children will look to you
For which way to turn
To learn what to be
Careful before you say "Listen to me"
Children will listen
Careful the wish you make
Wishes are children
Careful the path they take
Wishes come true, not free
Careful the spell you cast
Not just on children
Sometimes a spell may last
Past what you can see
And turn against you
Careful the tale you tell
That is the spell
Children will listen
Listen

Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you
No sir, not while I'm around
Demons are prowling everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling I don't care
I've got ways
No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there
Demons'll charm you with a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around
Not to worry, not to worry
I may not be smart but I ain't dumb
I can do it, put me to it
Show me something I can overcome
Not to worry, Mum
Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to
I would never hide a thing from you
Like some
No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle I'll be there
Demons'll charm you with a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothin' can harm you
Not while I'm around
