"Anyway"

"Anyway"


You can spend your whole life buildin'
Somethin' from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

[chorus:]
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
love 'em anyway

[chorus]

You can pour your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they’ll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah, sing it anyway
I sing, I dream, I love
Anyway
yeah

"Away In A Manger"

"Away In A Manger"



Away in a manger,
no crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky
looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus,
asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing,
the poor Baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus,
no crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus,
look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
till morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay,
Close by me forever,
and love me, I pray!
Bless all the dear children
in Thy tender care
And take us to heaven,
to Live with Thee there.

"Baby What You Want Me To Do"

"Baby What You Want Me To Do"



You got me runnin', you got me hidin'
You got me run round hidin' runnin' anyway you want.
Let it roll.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got me doin' what you want
Baby what you want, let it go.

I'm going up, I'm going down.
I'm going up, down, down, up anyway you want
Let it roll.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got me doin' what you want
Baby what you want, let it go.

"Be That Way"

"Be That Way"



Every time I turn around
I run right into your pride
Sometimes I'm not so sure if I wanna
Know that guy, know that guy
'Cause you've got a rock hard head
Stubborn as a mule
Oh, yeah, and by the way, I still love you

Go on and be that way
Slam that door
Make a scene
Yell some more
Come on let's have it out
Have your say
'Cause with a love this strong
Baby it's okay
For you to be that way

Sometimes what you don't say
Can make the deepest cut
And I get my feelings hurt
And I just go nuts, well a little nuts
So try to ignore that girl
She's just blowin' off steam
Oh and I don't know about her
But I hope you say to me

Go on and be that way
Slam that door
Make a scene
Yell some more
Come on let's have it out
Have your say
'Cause with a love this strong
Baby it's okay
For you to be that way

Baby let's get emotional
What do you say we let it all go
Let it go

Go on and be that way
Slam that door
Make a scene
Yell some more
Come on let's have it out
Have your say
'Cause with a love this strong
Baby it's okay
For you to be that way

Be that way, oh yeah

"Beautiful Again"

"Beautiful Again"


She was only ten when her daddy got fired
He drank away the family home and left them all alone
And then her mommy was just too tired
So she got sent away

She moved in with her aunt in Arizona
Everything was fine until she told on Uncle Bill
When he said he only wanted to hold her
She had to run away

[Chorus]
But when it rains, the past gets washed away, and then
She smiles 'cause she knows in the end
The world gets beautiful, beautiful again

Her boyfriend said I'm way too young to get married
But she made up her mind that somehow she was gonna
Find a way to keep that baby she carried
And he just walked away

[Repeat Chorus]

And when she's lying all alone
Thinkin' about her life she wonders
If she is wrong to believe in a better world
Then she sees her little girl
And she knows she is right 'cause

[Repeat Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"Being Myself"

"Being Myself"


Sometimes I'm an ordinary girl, wrapped in my ordinary world
I just wanna listen to the rain, and stay in bed all day
Other times I'm extraverted, speak my mind and I don't worry who,
might disagree or what anyone might say

I don't listen to the critics
Believin' all their cynics
I don't need that kind of advice
Cause I'm doing alright

[Chorus]
Just being myself
that's all that I can be
Happy being me
don't really wanna be nobody else
I know who I am
and the one thing I do, well..
Is just being myself, yeah yeah

I can be the drama queen, where my emotions on my sleeve
Sometimes, I know, I'm a little hard to handle
Other days I rather stay at home and have the leave me alone
I just need some space, just a little space

I don't listen to the critics
Believin' all their cynics
No I don't have the time
Cause I'm doin' alright

[Repeat Chorus]

Don't really wanna be nobody else
I know who I am and the one thing I do well

"Beyond The Blue"

"Beyond The Blue"



The sky's been gray every day since I lost you
But I know the sun is shinin' somewhere...beyond the blue
My eyes were red when you said that we were through
But now I can see better days for me...just beyond the blue

Beyond the blue...on the other side of lonely
And it's only a matter of time...until I'm
Lookin' back and feelin' like I'm over you
And these tears are gone and I'm beyond the blue

Beyond the blue...on the other side of lonely
And it's only a matter of time...until I'm
On my feet and I meet somebody new
And I fall in love again beyond the blue
When these tears are gone and I'm beyond the blue

 

[fox69]

"Blessed"

"Blessed"


I get kissed by the sun
Each morning
Put my feet on a hardwood floor
I get to hear my children laughing
Down the hall through the
Bedroom door
Sometimes I sit on my
Front porch swing
Just soaking up the day
I think to myself, I think to myself
This world is a beautiful place

[Chorus]
I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones
That love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed

Across a crowded room
I know you know what I'm thinking
By the way I look at you
And when we're lying in the quiet
And no words have to be said
I think to myself, I think to myself
This love is a beautiful gift

[Chorus]

When I'm singing my kids to sleep
When I feel you holding me
I know

[Chorus]

"Born To Give My Love To You"

"Born To Give My Love To You"



I don't know what brought us here
Something in the stars said you and me
I don't know where this feeling comes from
Surely it was meant to be
For I have known you even in my dreams
My eyes are open, my heart can see

As sure as stars light the midnight sky
As sure as children wonder why
As sure as newborn babies cry
I was born to give my love to you
Born to give my love to you

Heaven must be holding on
To all the love I'm feeling now
Here we are this is the moment
And I believe it's our turn somehow
Hearts together, hands across the night
One forever, finally in sight

As sure as stars light the midnight sky
As sure as children wonder why
As sure as newborn babies cry
I was born to give my love to you
Born to give my love to you

I was born to give my love to you
(I was born to give my love to you)
I was born to give my love to you
I was born to give my love to you

"Bring It On Home To Me"
(with Gavin DeGraw)
(originally by Sam Cooke)



If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

I know I laughed when you left
But now I know I only hurt myself
Oh-oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

I'll give you jewellery and money, too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'll do for you
Oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

You know I'll always be your slave
Til I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

I tried to treat you right
But you stayed out, stayed out every night
Oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Yeah
