"Beautiful" Lyrics:
Hey! Just so you know
No matter what you think, you are so beautiful
Hey! Just let me say
That you're beautiful in every single way
And if you think otherwise
Then you're putting on some ludicrous disguise
'Cause everyone should know
No matter what they think that they are beautiful
No matter what you say
You're beautiful in every way
No matter what you do
You're beautiful 'cause you're still you

Hey! Just let me say
That you're beautiful in every single way
'Cause everyone should know
No matter what they think that they are beautiful

Oh you're beautiful, oh you're special to me
Oh you matter girl, that's the reality
Oh you're beautiful, oh you matter to me
I just want you to know; I just wish you could see that

No matter what you say
You're beautiful in every way
No matter what you do
You're beautiful 'cause you're still you

You're beautiful in every way, and you don't know
Everyone can see that you're beautiful
You always find a way that you can shine
You are God's grand design
No matter what you say you're beautiful
No matter what you say you're beautiful

You may not know what others see
But I can tell you, guarenteed
God made you to be divine
You are God's grand design
No matter what you say, you're beautiful
No matter what you say, you're beautiful
Back to you IJ, yo

Hey! Just so you know
No matter what you think you are so beautiful
And if you think otherwise
Then you're putting on some ludicrous disguise
'Cause you're beautiful!
You are beautiful
'Cause you're beautiful
You're beautiful
'Cause you're beautiful
You're beautiful
'Cause you're beautiful
You are beautiful

Hey, just so you know
No matter what you think, I think you're beautiful
'Cause every girl should know
No matter what they think that they are beautiful

"Color City" Lyrics:
Living the life
Chalk full of color, oh yeah
My heart is my knife
A world to discover, yeah

Walk through the desert
Shine like the sun
Search for the city
They call number one

And when you find it
Then you can see
Like you've never seen before
The bluest of skies
The brightest of lights
Can you even ask for more?

Oh, oh, oh, color city
Where you wanna be
Color city
It's just you and me, whoa
So much to discover
My heart is my knife
City of color
Living the life

Swim through the ocean
Look up at the sky
Try drinking my potion
And you'll never die, no

I wanna find it
So I can see
Like I've never seen before
We're never apart
You color my heart
So I'm gonna open the door and see

Oh, oh, oh
City of color, city of color, oh
City of color, city of color
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Walk through the desert
Push through the strife
Just living in color
Living the life

"Heroes" Lyrics:
We could be heroes
Just for a day
We could be heroes
Saving the day

This world is lost of truth
Living in a photo booth
It needs people who'll stand up tall
It needs heroes to stop the fall

But he's already saved us all
So we just needa sound the call
We need people to spread the world
To be loud enough to be heard

Heroes, just for a day
We could be heroes
Saving the day

You know we gotta be
You know we gotta be
You know we gotta be heroes

We could be heroes
Just for a day
We could be heroes
Saving the day
We could be heroes
Just for one day
We could be heroes
Needed today
We could be

Be teaching people
Be saving people
Be bringing people out of their ignorance
Be saving the world
Be stopping the fall
Spreading truth, living right, changing the world!

"Peter P@n" Lyrics:
Up in the air is where I belong tonight
Next to the stars I'm fighting so everything's right
Go to a place where fear and doubt doesn't exist
Time's no concern, not wearing a watch on my wrist
I'm singing this

Why is gravity always keeping me down?
I've got cavities making my smile a frown
Why is everything holding me back from myself?
Now it's time to get help

No more feet on the ground
No more keeping me down
Lift me up, pixie dust
No more age, no more rust

I don't know why the lost boys don't seem like they're lost
I'm over here just wishing I could pay the cost
I see a world that's held in one place all the time
I'll never land but still I'm just struggling to rhyme
Climbing the climb

Only trying to carry my shoes off the floor
Keep on knocking on one big invisible door
Katy Perry says "you're gonna hear me roar"
But I'm asking for more

No more feet on the ground
No more keeping me down
Lift me up, pixie dust
No more age, no more rust
Lift me up, pixie dust
No more age, no more rust

But I don't wanna die
No, I wanna be alive
And I'll find a place to hide
But I'll never say die; never say die

And we are never growing older again
I said we are never growing older again
We are never, never, never growing older again
I said we are never growing older again

"Call Me Up!!" Lyrics:
Every day I check my phone
You're always on my mind
Open up my contact list
You're the only one to find

You said that you prefer
To text rather than talk
But when I hear your pretty voice
It sends me into shock

I wanna talk to you
I miss you bad
I wanna call you more girl
But if you're down
Just call me up!!

Every day I think of you
You're always on my mind
The only thing I wanna do is
Have you on the line

We don't talk anymore
It breaks me into tears
Bet I'll be dialing your number
For years and years and years

I wanna talk to you
I miss you bad, so bad
You never answer my call anymore
If you feel down
Just call me up!!

Call me up
Call me up on my telephone
Call me up
You know what you wanna do
Call me up
That's what I'm telling you
On my telephone
Call me up, call me up

Talking all day
Talking all night
I miss you girl
You're always talking to him
All the time
Just call me up!!

"A Torn Up Heart" Lyrics:
I'm so scared of losing you
I'm so scared of losing you
Stop shooting your darts
'Cause you're tearing up my heart

If I die tonight
It's gonna be my veins that fly right into your life
If I die tonight
It's gonna be my veins that fly right into your life

Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa

Sing I'm so scared of losing you
I'm so scared of losing you
Stop shooting your darts
'Cause you're tearing up my heart

If I die tonight
It's gonna be my veins that fly right into your life
If I die tonight
It's gonna be my veins that fly right into your life

Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa

Hurts so bad
Why does it hurt?
It shouldn't hurt
Will you come back?

Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
If I die tonight
Oh, whoa
Oh. whoa

If I die tonight
Will you wait for me to come back to life?

"Clouds Can Disappear" Lyrics:
I am hating everything
So turn my summer into spring
I can see the trouble up ahead
I am living the hard life
Somebody take away my strife
I am living without peace

Tryina make it through the years
I've seen the healing come through tears
But looking back I know I know one thing

Clouds can disappear but if you want them to
You gotta make it to the moon
You know you'll get there
Clouds can disappear if you blow them away
You gotta do it every day
No way, no way man

Every day it's like a war
It's hard to take it anymore
But there's a way to get the victory
You've come to the end of the rope
It's cloudy; you can't see the hope
But man you know you know it's there
It's there

So keep on you can never quit
And don't give up you can't just sit around
And let the clouds pass by; they won't

You got to blow them away
You make the difference today
And the means are worth the ends
You can't keep all your bad friends
'Cause they're the ones that affect you the most

But clouds can disappear if you want them to
You gotta make it to the moon
You know you'll get there, oh
Clouds can disappear if you blow them away
You gotta do it every day
No way, no way man

Everybody sing
You got to blow them away

Clouds can disappear but if you want them to
You gotta make it to the moon
You know you'll get there
Clouds can disappear if you blow them away
You gotta do it every day
No way, no way man

"February Fourteenth" Lyrics:
It was February fourteenth
Standing underneath the oak tree
Though it was blurry, I could still see
Above your name was carved "R.I.P."

It was February fourteenth
And I'd been gone for 2016
Now I'm remembering our history
And why this happened is a mystery

But I don't wanna be alone in this world
I don't wanna be alone in this world
I don't wanna be alone in this world
On Valentine's Day

It was January sixteenth
I had some fun in summer '16
But now I'm buying roses to bring
Down to the cemetery on 6th Street

'Cause I don't wanna be alone in this world
I don't wanna be alone in this world
I don't wanna be alone in this world
But you left me alone

"Lightburst" Lyrics:
I thought it was gray
But it's black and white
All this time I've been hiding
From the light

I know it's time
To walk away
There's forces that tell
Me to stay

But as I'm breaking through
Although it hurts
To watch you leave
The light will burst

I watch you go
Why does it ache?
When it was you
That made me break?

What is the sound of conquering?
What is the taste of victory?

But as I'm breaking though
Although it hurts
To watch you leave
The light will burst
Said as you're breaking through
Although it hurts
To watch you leave
The light will burst

If this means free, why do I feel
Stuck in between one big uphill?
Uncertainty; the path is rough
The anger bites, but we are tough

As it fades away, it hurts to stay
All I can say is goodbye
Goodbye

But as I'm breaking through
Although it hurts
Keep holding on
The light will burst
Said as you're breaking through
Although it hurts
Keep holding on
The light will burst

Oh, don't you leave
The light will burst

"Color Wheel" Lyrics:
I don't even know this song
I don't even know why I'm singing
Like everything I know is wrong
And everything I own is sinking

It's black and gray
Not black and white
Help me to stay
And win the fight
Hold me down right
Keep me down tight
Lead me from dark
Into the light

I don't even know what's wrong
But my entire world is spinning
I wanna know what's right and wrong
I wanna keep away from sinning

Feels black and blue
Not black and white
I'm so confused
Blind in the night
Help me get through
Lead me with light
Hold me down right
Keep me down tight

Can't play no ball 'cause my basketball is half flat
Can't have no fun; always wanna be on Snapchat
Trying to run but my bellyache is too fat
Look for the sun; baby all I see is dark black

I'm so confused
Just spinning through
Everything's blurred together too
I'm falling down
I'm gonna lose
Please keep me up
I will get through

I don't even know what's wrong
I just know my heart is beating

"Not Alone" Lyrics:
'Cause in this journey
You're not alone
You're gonna make it back home
'Cause in this journey
You're not alone
You're gonna make it back home

If you ever feel like you don't wanna be
In a life where the end can't be seen
Just remember you have help because
He will always be there to provide for what you need
Life it seems like it'll always be a test
When you can't see North, South, East, or West
Always remember that you gotta try your best
But you can know that he will take care of the rest

Raging and blowing all around us is a storm
In a cold and a dark dreary form
But there's a way that you can always feel so warm
So you can't always be acting with the norm
When you're caught inside a prison of despair
And nobody in the world even cares
Just remember there is hope; He is there
Everything is gonna turn out good and fair

You're not alone
You're gonna make it back home
'Cause in this journey you're not alone
You're gonna make it back home

In the battle; in the war, you're gonna win
But you gotta keep yourself away from sin
It always matters what place you are in
Don't be hanging out inside the trash bin
Life is hard; I know it seems like a war
Forgetting everything we used to know before
When the battle gets hot and you get sore
You can always give a little bit more
You can always give a little bit more
A little bit more; a little bit more

'Cause in this journey you're not alone
You're gonna make it back home
'Cause in this journey you're not alone
You're gonna make it back home

Dream, dream, dream
You gotta dream, believe, live

"Bright Blue" Lyrics:
I need a little help from you
I need a little help from you

Bright blue
Bright blue

I do not know what to do
I do not know what to do
Bright blue
Bright blue

The sky is not blue
The sky is not blue
The sky is not blue
The sky is blue
Bright blue
Bright blue
Bright blue


"Royaume" Lyrics:
I come back round and there’s not a sound
I’ve got my two feet on the ground
All the pain that I’ve caused
All the breaking of laws
My world, it seems so upside-down

Oh, why did I ever accept this crown?
For the love of me, just to fulfill my dreams
To fulfill my dreams of all the selfish things
Didn’t think it’d be this bad to be a king

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I come back round and I’m on the ground
Trying so hard to hear the sound
Everything that I’ve caused
Everything that I’ve lost
My world is just so upside-down
Somebody tell me
Why did I ever accept this crown?
For the love of me, just to fulfill my dreams
To fulfill my dreams of all the selfish things
Didn’t think it’d be this bad to be a king

Oh, oh, oh, oh

My kingdom is falling down real quick
I’m trying, just trying to make it stick
All these sickly plagues and golden rings
I’m made of bad and selfish things

Let’s take it down
All the decisions and trials this job would bring
The only thing I feel like I can do now is sing
My faith is in heaven, the peace it’ll ring
For the lonely, the helpless, the heartbroken king

I’ve eaten a feast, and now it feels like a crumb
Now here I cease in my kingdom of love

"Today & Tomorrow" Lyrics:
I'm here trying to survive it
I'm here tryina make it through
Still here trying to survive it
My life after you

But it'll get better tomorrow
It's not your last day on the Earth
I know you're enveloped in sorrow
But you're gonna see your worth
It'll get better tomorrow
And you will remember today
And you're gonna see that your sorrow
It helped you to find your way

But you can do it today
No, you don't have to wait
And tomorrow will be there
Such a wide open gate

I'm here trying to survive it
I'm here pushing through the storm
Still here trying to survive it
My life is taking form

But it'll get better tomorrow
It's not your last day on the Earth
I know you're enveloped in sorrow
But you're gonna see your worth
It'll get better tomorrow
And you will remember today
And you're gonna see that your sorrow
It helped you to find your way

But you can do it today
No, you don't have to wait
And tomorrow will be there
It's gonna be okay

It'll get better tomorrow
It'll get better tomorrow
It'll get better tomorrow
You know, you know it's true now
It'll get better tomorrow
It'll get better tomorrow
It'll get better tomorrow
You know

But you can do it today
No, you don't have to wait
And tomorrow will be there
It's gonna be okay


"Mountain Cottages" Lyrics:
Old mountain countryside where I used to roam
Old mountain cottages that I call my home

You taught me how to love
You taught me how to sing
With your beautiful blue vistas
And your bubbling mountain spring

Do you hear it calling you
In the middle of the night?
A little voice inside of you
Teaching wrong from right

Old mountain countryside won't leave me alone
Old mountain cottages that I call my home

You taught me how to love
You taught me how to sing
With your beautiful blue vistas
And your bubbling mountain spring

"Colors of Life" Lyrics:
Green and red; orange and blue
Pink and purple and magenta too
Life is full of color
Beauty to discover

If you wanna live in technicolor
You've gotta learn to love your whole life
If you wanna dream a world of color
Sometimes you gotta realize your life is bright

Sometimes it's dark; sometimes it's gray
And sometimes life will not go your way but
Bright yellow will appear
And someday it all will be clear

Life is to discover
Canvas full of color

Colors of life; light up your love
You might need some help from above
Colors of life; hearts full of love
Nothing to get tired of

Life is full of color
Beauty to discover
Love will be your cover
Life is full of color

"Eventides" Lyrics:

"Different" Lyrics:
They say I'm different from everyone I know
I know I'm different and I'm gonna try to show
That it's not bad to be different
Yeah, I'll stand up and say
That it's not bad to be different
If it's in a noble way

Different
It's okay to be different
Okay to be different
It's okay to be different

You say I'm different
I already know that's true
And I am glad to be different
From most of you
I've always wanted to be just like the normal people
They have always been called the cool kids
But I was born to be this way

Different
I took the road that nobody else went
I'm gonna change the world someday
I can't change anything if I live that way

Different
I am different

"Golf Course" Lyrics:
I walk the road at night
Only to stay alright
I wanna be the guy
Who always has the time

I wanna be all day
I'll never go away
I wanna be the guy
Who's with you all the time

And if you wanna be there
I'll be with you
And if you wanna be there
I'll be too
When you're in love
Nothing can ever stop you
From being together

I walk the road at night
Only to stay alive
I wanna be the guy
Who transcends all your time

And if you wanna be there
I'll be with you
And if you wanna be there
I'll be too
When you're in love
Nothing can ever stop you
From being together

And if you wanna be there
I'll be with you
And if you wanna be there
I'll be too
I'm gonna say
Always and forever

I walk the road at night
Only to stay alright
I wanna be the guy
Who always has the time

"Penny Candy" Lyrics:
I don't know whether we'll be okay
All of our money's gone down the drain
I don't know whether we'll be alright
Whether we'll make it through the night

I don't know whether we'll be okay
Under this pressure; under this weight
I've just got one question to ask the government
And that is this:
Whatever happened to penny candy?
Whatever happened to it?

I don't know whether we'll be okay
Most of our country has gone astray
I don't know whether we'll be alright
Whether we're gonna win the fight

It is so wrong; our economy
Will we be okay? Will we be free?
I am so mad at the government
Just tell me this:
Whatever happened to penny candy?
Whatever happened to it?

I don't know if we're gonna be okay
All our money's going down the drain
We gotta get off our feet and
Start making money and
Stop being lazy and
Stop being funny and
Stop being crazy and
Start making money
Our future is hazy

Whatever happened to penny candy?
Whatever happened to it?

"Taking Flight" Lyrics:
I wanna fly to outer space
I wanna make it to a better place
I know I'll only get there through your grace
I'm gonna win the race

I'm on a journey to Jerusalem
With all the sons and daughters of Abraham
Forget the mountains that are in our way
'Cause we move mountains every day

We're gonna fly
Fly so high and never fall
Try us we'll conquer though we're small
All of the world will hear us call
God conquers all

We're gonna work throughout the day and night
'Cause we already know who wins the fight
On the day that St. Peter rings the bell
All will be well

You can try to do it by yourself but
You know you'll find yourself in need of help
Nobody makes it on their own
You'll never be alone

'Cause we're gonna fly
Fly up and never be low
Breaking the walls of Jericho
Living the triumph we all know
'Cause God makes us glow

We're gonna fly
Fly so high and never fall
Try us we'll conquer though we're small
All of the world will hear us call
God conquers all

I wanna fly to outer space
I wanna make the world a better place
I know I'll only get there through your grace
I'm gonna win the race

"Vision" Lyrics:
(Instrumental)















"The Greats" Lyrics:
Here I am
Still I'm here
Look at them
Then in the mirror

Why can't I
Be up there?
Stop comparing myself
But how I care

I just wanna be amazing
I wanna be great
Don't know how I'm gonna phrase it
I don't want the hate
No hate
All I want is to be great

Like the greats
Long ago
I will learn
I will know

How to be
Better now
How to see
The hope somehow

If I could go back and never sing it again
Then I would go back and never wing it again

No more being mediocre
I wanna be great
Acting like a brainless jokester
Just stop
Held down under weight
No hate
Maybe I just wanna be great

I can walk through Sleepy Hallow
Climb a hundred-mile cliff
Come give me a pill to swallow
'Cause my middle name is "if"
I'm "if"

I'm on the highest trapeze
The center of the world's stage
I see what the eagle sees
And my name's on every page
All day long

I just wanna be good
And I wanna be great
I wanna be who I should
I wanna follow my fate

Call me a thief; a liar
I'm good
You can tie me up with rope
I'm great
You can throw me in a fire
I should
But you'll never take my hope
Not hate

'Cause no more being mediocre
I wanna be great
Acting like a brainless joker
I don't wanna hate
No hate
All I want is to be great

"Mixed Feelings" Lyrics:
Mixing up my feelings

Listen
I just wanna be here
And I wanna be there
I just wanna be good
I just wanna be fair

Laugh at me
I don't really care
Sometimes I feel bad
But I don't feel scared

I feel happy
Whatever that means
I'll laugh at me
'Cause it's funny

I've got mixed feelings
Up to the ceiling
On this occasion
I feel vibration

I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be there
I don't wanna feel mad
But I really feel scared

No motivation
For education
Even though I wanna learn
I'm feeling really burned

I don't feel happy
I'm feeling nappy
I wanna cry
You said goodbye

I've got mixed feelings
Up to the ceiling
On this occasion
There's no vibration

Help me; help me
Help me; help me

Every day we experience different feelings
Some are happy; some sad; some destructive; some healing
Some days go real well. On others, we fail.
But all feelings come with a reason

On days full of sorrow we remember the joy
On happy days, never forget to deploy
Proof of all that you are; try to raise up the bar
So we all become better together

Feelings are blessings
And sometimes we're sad
Sometimes we feel bad
Just remember you've had
Feelings of goodness

"The Truth" Lyrics:
I want you to know
If I had everything in the world
If I had every boy and girl
Then I would take it way too far
I'd probably take it oh, to Mars
And I would not know what to do
I wouldn't know what to do with you

I want you to make me better
I want you to write me a letter
I want you to tell me the truth
All I want is you

I want you to know
If I had everything on Earth
If I had everything from birth
Then I would not know what to do
I wouldn't know what to do with you
And I would take it way too far
I'd probably take it oh, to Mars

I want you to make me better
I want you to make me leather
I want you to tell me the truth
I wanna be with you
I want you to make me better
I wanna know the truth

I don't know what to do with you
I don't know what to do with you
I don't know what to do with you
What can I do with you?

I want you to make me better
I want you to make me letters
I want you to tell me the truth
I wanna be with you

All I want is you
All I want is you

"God Loves You So" Lyrics:
People dying
Children crying
New is lying
Agents spying

You can't forget
You won't forget
I'll always let
You make a bet

God loves you so
God loves you so

No one can force
People to change
A higher source
Sometimes sends rain

And you'll ask:
Why must it be cold?
The answer:
God loves you so
He loves you so

"In the Studio" Lyrics:
I don't know if we're gonna
Eat the food storage
But we're in the studio
We're in the studio

I don't know if we're gonna
Make it home in time
But we're in the studio
We're in the studio

Making music to our ears
Making music; crying tears
Making music; dying hair
Making music everywhere
Drums

I don't know if we're gonna
Make any good songs
But we're in the studio
We're in the studio

I don't know how many
Things have gone wrong
But we're in the studio
We're in the studio

Making music to our ears
Making music; crying tears
Making music; dying hair
Making music everywhere
Break it down

I don't know if we're gonna
Eat the food storage
But we're in the studio
We're in the studio

I don't know if we're gonna
Make it home in time
But we're in the studio
We're in the studio

"Starry Night" Lyrics:
Looking at the stars
And the vast void around the Earth below
I am so amazed to realize
It's a small world after all

I can see the human race
Can only see what's in their face
So much more is out there
We're on Earth, but there is outer space

Over the green sea
Or on a tree
There's places you can be to see
And realize there's more to
The universe than "M" and "E"

You can make it
Don't fake it

"The Rocket Scientist (Interlude)" Lyrics:
It's not rocket science they say
But I don't know if I'm okay
The confusingest part of it is
I'm not sure if you're mine or his

I wish I could go back and change
What's made things so awkward and strange
This is rocket science to me
All that I know that I want is to see

The light of the moon
The sparks of the stars
I'd go find the answer if it was on Mars

If only I knew how to get there
If only I knew that you cared

"Home (Such A Long Way)" Lyrics:
It's such a long way
It's such a long way home
Such a long way
Such a long way home

It's been a long day
It's been a long day, oh
It's been a long day
Such a long day, oh

We've come a long way
We've come a long way, oh
We've come a long way
With such a long way to go

Singing one day we're gonna get out
One day we're gonna make it
One day, oh one day
One day; one day

But it's such a long way
Such a long way home
Such a long way
It's such a long way home

Pulling his handcart
Across the wide prairie
He looked ahead then back again
Such a long way

He's got no family
And he's got miles to go
He's such a long way
Such a long way from home

But one day he's gonna make it
One day he's gonna get there
One day, oh one day
One day, one day

And in our own day
Our nation's light is low
Seems like a long way
Such a long way home

We'll take initiative
We'll make a change right now
And though the government is stuck in a hole
We'll make it out somehow

And today we will do something
Today we'll create some change
Today, oh today
Today makes one day

But it's such a long way
It's such a long way home
Such a long way
Such a long way home

It's been a long a day
It's been a long day, oh...

"Jeffersonian Writer" Lyrics:
This one’s for all the artists out there
The writers, sculptors, musicians and painters
Don’t ever let anyone tell you no
Because art is ours and we’re the entertainers

Do you remember when you went to writing class
And they made you write a paper eight pages long?
Well that’s really too bad for you
‘Cause they never taught you how to write a song

Pick up the pen
And create til the end
The power is yours
So go for more and more
You gotta love the art
It comes straight from the heart
Creation’s where it’s at
Don’t ask “what’s up wit that?”
Gotta write like Thomas Jefferson
Fight like Sylvester Stallone
Bite like the soccer players
Sightread like my grandpa Jim

Write like Thomas Jefferson
Fight like Sylvester Stallone
Bite like a hungry dog
Sightread like the Beethoven

Gotta speak like who we wanna speak like
Eat what we wanna eat
Speak like who we wanna speak like
Beat who we wanna beat

Write like Thomas Jefferson
Fight like Sylvester Stallone
Bite like the soccer players
Sightread like my grandpa Jim

Fellas, this is it
It’s the time where we gotta get our brains on paper
‘Cause as our society’s falling down
We gotta pick it up, yeah we’re the shapers
Yeah

Like Thomas Paine
Just write like Mark Twain
And fight the long fight
With ink and with your might

And write for poetry
Write for an oratory
Share your pen with the whole world
Whether you’re a boy or girl

Gotta write like Thomas Jefferson
Fight like Sylvester Stallone
Bite like the soccer players
Sightread like my grandpa Jim

Gotta fight like who we wanna fight like
Write like who we wanna write like
Bite who we wanna bite
Fight who we wanna fight

Speak like who we wanna speak like
Eat what we wanna eat
Speak like who we wanna speak like
Beat who we wanna beat

Write like Thomas Jefferson
Fight like Sylvester Stallone
Bite like the soccer players
Sightread like my grandpa Jim

Once you get going
You can’t stop
Get your pen flowing
Let the ink drop

Go write some fiction
And use your diction
Complete your mission
Make that decision

Gotta write like William Shakespeare
Fight like Muhammad Ali
Bite like my baby sister
Sightread like the Beethoven

Fight like who we wanna fight like
Write like who we wanna write like
Bite who we wanna bite
Fight who we wanna fight

Gotta speak like who we wanna speak like
Eat what we wanna eat
Speak like who we wanna speak like
Beat who we wanna beat

Write like Thomas Jefferson
Fight like Sylvester Stallone
Bite like the soccer players
Sightread like my grandpa Jim

"What It Means to Be Free" (with Kessa Servoss) Lyrics:
I can choose where I go
What I do and who I know
That’s a privilege others don’t have
Some aren't free like you and me
They can’t be who they’re meant to be
Under someone else’s command
You feel like a grain of sand

In this game that goes on and on; a fight for life and liberty
Our forefathers fought hard and long to make this country what it’s come to be
I think we are indebted to their legacy and I don’t think we quite understand
What it really means to be free

Freedom has its cost; liberty its price
Many lives were lost when we rolled the dice
Will we forget now the freedom we enjoy?
If we let that happen, surely we will be destroyed

In this game that goes on and on; a fight for life and liberty
Our forefathers fought hard and long to make this country what it’s come to be
I know we are indebted to their legacy and I don’t think we quite comprehend
What it really means to be free

Everybody must realize that freedom must be earned
Or we all will find ourselves in sorrow
We must preserve our freedoms or America will learn
That what we do today defines tomorrow

In this game that goes on and on; a fight for life and liberty
We must keep fighting hard and long, to make our country what it soon will be
Oh how we are indebted to their legacy, we must find out how to understand
What it really means to be free

We must find out how to understand
What it really means to be free
Oh, what it means to be free
What it means to be free

"With You" Lyrics:
I feel alright with you bae
I feel okay with you bae
If that’s alright with you bae

‘Cause when I’m with you
I don’t have to hold on to
The things that I don’t want to
Because I’m with you

When I’m with you
I don’t have to hold on to
The things that I don’t want to
Because I’m with you

I feel okay with you bae
I wanna stay with you bae
Girl I can see with you bae
I want to be with you bae

‘Cause when I’m with you
I don’t have to hold on to
The things that I don’t want to
Because I’m with you

When I’m with you
I don’t have to hold on to
The things that I don’t want to
Because I’m with you

When I’m with you
I don’t have to hold on to
Things that I don’t want to
Because I’m with you

When I’m with you
I don’t have to hold on to
Things that I don’t want to
Because I’m with you

"Like Lightning" Lyrics:
I’ve gotta go
To the place I need to go
I’ve gotta go
Home

I’ve gotta show
Gotta show everyone
I’m gonna show
What I know

I’ve gotta go
I’ve got to go
Fast

The price I gotta pay
Not gonna pay
Here

I won’t stay

Lost?

I will win
Yes, I will win

Like lightning, yeah
Like lighting. And… go!

Yeah, yeah
We’re gonna go all the way tonight
Just like lightning

"Unbelievably Blessed" Lyrics:
I’ve had a bit of delay
I’ve had a bit of dismay
And all I hear is say-say
But I know that I’m okay
‘Cause this won’t be a bad day
I’m sick of all this ballet
I’ve had a bit of dismay
But I know that I’m okay

I’ve been unbelievably blessed
I’ve been unbelievably blessed
I’ve been unbelievably blessed
I know I’ve been unbelievably blessed
You’ve been unbelievably blessed
You’ve been unbelievably blessed
You’ve been unbelievably blessed
I know I’ve been unbelievably blessed

I’ve got a house to live in
I’ve got a bed to sleep in
The light of hope is not dim
I will fight and I will win
Look at this sunny day
All my woes went away
I’ll never be afraid to say
Everything is okay

‘Cause I’ve been unbelievably blessed
I’ve been unbelievably blessed
I’ve been unbelievably blessed
I know I’ve been unbelievably blessed
You’ve been unbelievably blessed

Just remember my good rhyme
When you have some dismay
Just know that you’re okay
The bell of triumph will ring
Winter will turn to spring
And we will worship our King
So never be afraid to sing

I’ve been unbelievably blessed
I’ve been unbelievably blessed

You’ve been unbelievably blessed
Yeah, you’ve been unbelievably blessed
I know I’ve been unbelievably blessed

"My Love." Lyrics:
I’ve gotta let you know
That you’re the one I love
Oh you’re so beautiful
You’re all that I’ve thought of

You are my love without an end
You took me far then home again
I need you now as it was then
All that I have I’ll lose to mend
The broken pieces on the ground
Right now I’m lost, with you I’m found
My head is spinning all around
Your voice is my world’s only sound

You are my love
You are my love
You are my love
You are my love

I’d travel through the seven seas
I’d decode every lock and key
My one and only wish would be
To have you right here next to me
I love you more than I want food
Far more than music, you’re my tune
I wish I knew what I could do
To show you I belong with you

You are my love
You’re my love

"Life in London" Lyrics:
Driving down the left side of the street
Buckingham Palace drapery sheet

Parliament keep on drinking your tea
Coldplay and The Beatles, they’re gonna sing

And you speak with an accent
And I want you to know
That when you live life in London
That there’s no place to go
No dream to grow

England; Scotland; Ireland; Wales
Walking over hills and over dales

Mr. Winston Churchill he used to speak
Making people’s lives so they didn’t look bleak

And you speak with an accent
And I want you to know
That when you live life in London
You can’t be who you wanna be
No American dream

So don’t speak with an accent
And don’t watch Dr. Who
‘Cause when your life is in London
There’s no way to be you
What can you do?

"Mindset" Lyrics:
This one’s for all the lonely people
You’re really feeling like you have no friends
You don’t know what to do and this is the end
People point fingers; they laugh and they mock
Everybody’s got someone; somebody to love
Somebody who loves them to whom they can talk

And the opportunities in front of you
You feel like you can’t take
But the opportunities in front of you
Are a piece of cake

And you’ve gotta push through
There’s something there for you
There’s something big and something great
That you were sent to do

Mindset
I’ll make a bet
You’ll feel better if you change your mind
Mindset
I’m willing to bet
There’s a better mindset you can find
Mindset
I’m willing to bet
You’ll feel better if you change your mind
You got your mindset
I’ll make a bet
There’s a better mindset you can find

Yeah, changing your mindset’s not an easy thing to do
And it’s something that I always have to do when I’m with you
I just wish we could wake up one day with our troubles flown away
Because girls are so confusing and I don’t know what I’m doing
I don’t know
I want to be controlled by me but it always ends up as a dream
I wish my brain didn’t have to be turned around and flipped upside down
Or chemically changed when I take off my crown
But that’s how it is when I’m next to you
But you don’t understand what I’m saying and neither does anybody else
And all I can do is keep praying ‘cause maybe God’s the only loyal one left now
You say you love me but I don’t have any idea what that means
But I’ll keep waiting for you ‘cause you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen
And I keep hoping that one day things won’t have to be this way
I hope you don’t go away and I hope you’ll always be here to stay
I’ve got a million other things that I wanna say
But until my mindset changes I’ll be rapping my day away

Just fight like Sylvester Stallone
Sylvester Stallone
Fight Apollo Creed like Sylvester Stallone
Rocky had the eye of the tiger
Fight like Sylvester Stallone
Fight Mr. T like Sylvester Stallone
Rocky had the eye of the tiger
And he was a vicious fighter

Mindset
I’m willing to bet
You’ll feel better if you change your mind
You got your mindset
I’ll make a bet
There’s a better mindset you can find
Mindset
I’ll make a bet
You’ll feel better if you change your mind
You got your mindset
I’m willing to bet
There’s a better mindset you can find

You can be alive your head can be clearer
The person who can change your life they live in the mirror
Circumstances don’t matter; it’s all in your head
You can chart your course; the path that you’ll tread

And if you feel like you can’t make it
There are people all around
If you feel like you can’t make it
Listen to this sound

Mindset
I’m willing to bet
You’ll feel better if you change your mind
You got your mindset
I’ll make a bet
There’s a better mindset you can find
Mindset
I’m willing to bet
You’ll feel better if you change your mind
You got your mindset
I’ll make a bet
There’s a better mindset you can find

"Lonely Hotel" Lyrics:
I gotta know
I gotta know who you are
I gotta know your name
‘Cause you’re beautiful

I gotta see
I gotta see you every day
I gotta see why you keep
Running away

This is heartbreak hotel
Somebody just broke my heart
Right here at heartbreak hotel
Right here at heartbreak hotel
At heartbreak hotel
Somebody just broke my heart
Right here at heartbreak hotel
Right here at heartbreak hotel

I gotta write
I gotta write a song for you
I’ve gotta write a song
To tell you the truth
I’ve gotta be
I’ve gotta be there for you
I’ve gotta be the man
Who loves you too

This is heartbreak hotel
Somebody just broke my heart
Right here at heartbreak hotel
Right here at heartbreak hotel
At heartbreak hotel
Somebody just broke my heart
Right here at heartbreak hotel
Right here at heartbreak hotel

Singing
I will always
I will always love you
I will always
I will always love you

"Technilife" Lyrics:
If your hair is ever tangled
I’ll just brush it back so they know
That our life is like a blue skied summer day

I’m not afraid to say I love you
And every day I’m thinking of you
And we’ll find our happiness next to the pain

We’ll find that life is like a mango
It comes back and forth in angles
Because life is just a makeshift holiday

Because life is like a mango
It comes back and forth in angles
Life is a makeshift Christmas holiday

If you want to live life in color
Then you’ve got to help your brother
And one day you’ll find yourself along the way

We’re gonna grow like a crescendo
And in this game, we’ll make a window
We’ll jump out and parachute down all the way

Because life is like a mango
It comes back and forth in angles
Because life is just a makeshift holiday

Life is like a mango
It comes back and forth in angles
Life is a makeshift Christmas holiday

Life is full of color
We’ve just gotta help one another
And we’ll find our happiness for all the days

Because life is like a mango
It comes back and forth in angles
Life is a makeshift Christmas holiday

"Strong" Lyrics:
I can’t go on
I feel like I’ll never be strong
I have some pain
But inside I know there’s something to gain

I feel distressed
There’s no way that I can clean this mess
I feel alone
But inside I know I am made of stone

I’m strong!
I’m strong.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.


I’m strong!
I’m strong.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah

If you feel weak
And life seems uncolorful, just bleak
And you feel sad
And pressured by everyone who is glad

You might feel alone
But there is someone there with you, just know
When the man in the mirror cries
There is something you’ve gotta realize

You’re strong!
You’re strong.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

You’re strong!
You’re strong.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

And when there’s struggle
You know somebody’s there
Every step of the way.

You’re strong!
You are not alone
You’re strong.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

You’re strong!
You are not alone
You’re strong.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

And when there’s struggles
You know someone’s there
Pushing you through your hard times
You know it

And you’re strong!
You are not alone
You’re strong!
You are strong
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
You’re strong.

"How Can You Have Leadership?" (with Grace Edwards) Lyrics:
Open up your eyes and see
A better leader you can be
Bad things in life; you can solve ‘em
But first you must define the problem

Self-deception will show
The problem is: you don’t know
So first, you must humble yourself
And go think about someone else

Have a little bit of leadership
Have a little bit of love; hold on
How can you have leadership
If you don’t have love?

You’re seeing other people for
What they could be doing more
As objects; things that get in your way
You have to know that’s not okay

See another person like
A brother equal in God’s sight
Because they’re just the same as you
They have really hard times too

Have a little bit of leadership
It’s something you’ve never thought of
How can you have leadership
If you don’t have love?

I’m caught in my own world with myself
But if I wanna be happy, I gotta help someone else
People won’t follow me if I don’t love them
I won’t be impactful if I just shove them

I’m caught in a trap, I’m caught in a box
There’s one way to get out before it locks
I have to realize that the problem is me
Then I can fix and better I’ll be

Have a little bit of leadership
Have a little bit of love, hold on
How can you have leadership
If you don’t have love?

Have a little bit of leadership
Sing it
Have a little bit of love, hold on
Come on
How can you have leadership
Yeah, yeah
If you don’t have love?

Open up your eyes and see
Having love will set you free
Open up your eyes and see
Leadership will set you free

Sing it
Have a little bit of leadership
It’s something you’ve never thought of
How can you have leadership
If you don’t have love?

"Cupcakes" Lyrics: 
I’m walking down the street
Looking for something sweet to eat
I turn the corner; walk down the line
Look straight ahead and what do I find?

Cupcakes!
Juicy frosting; sprinkles on top
In the cupcake shop
Cupcakes!
Gotta eat ‘em, never gonna stop

Open up the door to the shop
I’m as jolly as a clown
I walk to the lady with the mop
She says “We’re closing down!”

Cupcakes!
Juicy frosting; sprinkles on top
In the cupcake shop
Cupcakes!
Used to sell cupcakes; now they gotta stop

Go out to the street; close the door behind me
Cross the road and the cars don’t mind me
How can I live without a cupcake?
No way this is real! It must be fake
I can’t go out to the street
I can’t go out ‘cause I’ll be beat
How can I live without a cupcake?
No way this is real! It must be fake

Take it back

In the morning I wake
It was all a dream! Where’s my cupcakes?
Grab my board and skate downtown
The shop is open! What’s lost is found!

Cupcakes!
Smooth frosting; sprinkles on top
In the cupcake shop
Cupcakes!
Once you start eating, you can’t stop

"Get Out of the World" Lyrics:
Pressure coming from everyone I know
There’s really no place to go
Feel like my head’s about to explode
Keep on driving down the road

Get out of the world
Get out of the world
Get out of the world
Get out of the world
I’m sick of this place
I’m done with this girl

Get out of the world
Get out of the world
Out of the world
Get out of the world
I’ll find my place
Without this girl

Expectations I’ve got to live up to
Can’t get the problems out of my head
What can I do to escape this torture?
I can’t just forget all the rest

My earphones don’t heal me completely
I can try and go run down the street
But there’s no way to escape
Because I can’t even sleep

Out of the world
Get out of the world
Out of the world
Get out of the world
I’m through with this place
I’m done with this girl

Get out of this world
Get out of this world
Get out of this world
Get out of this world
No place that I look here is there a pearl

And I know the reality is tough
I know in real life I’ve had enough
But this escape is paradise
And I really do not want to pay the price

And as I’m hiking this hike
I’m seeing sights and I’m seeing light

Get out of the world
Get out of the world
Out of the world
Get out of the world
I’m sick of this place
I’m done with this girl

Get out of the world
Get out of the world
Out of the world
Get out of the world
Out of the world
Get out of the world
Everybody’s living in the swirl

Get out of the world
Get out of the world
Out of the world
Get out of the world
I’m sick of this place
I’m done with this girl

"Jam" Lyrics:
If you have a question
An answer will come
If you’ve got a question
Ask someone

If you have a secret
Don’t tell just anyone
‘Cause then that secret
May become a shun

Don’t sit around

"Holy Ghost" Lyrics: 
Yeah, I know you’re gonna have a hard time running the show
And I know you’re gonna have a hard time knowing which way to go
But there’s just one thing that I think you should know
It’s that I’m gonna be right here next to you always

Next to you
To you
You
As long as you do what you know to be true
I’m gonna be right here next to you

I know you’re gonna have a hard time seeing your glow
And I know that you’re gonna have a hard time finding your flow
But there’s just one way I think you can grow
It’s by letting me be next to you always

Oh, I’m gonna be right here next to you
Oh, I’m gonna be right here next to you
Know I’m gonna be right here next to you
Always

In the dark in the light
In the day in the night
In your darkest times
Through you’re hardest climbs

In the dark in the light
In the day in the night
In your darkest times
Through you’re hardest crimes

You’re gonna have a hard time, oh
You’re gonna have a hard time finding out how to know
I know you’re gonna have a hard time finding you
And you’re gonna have a hard time starting anew

Sometimes it may seem there’s no hope in this world
But there’s a light; just know there’s a light in the swirl
‘Cause as long as you do what you know to be true
I’m gonna be right here next to you
Next to you

Oh
Always
Always
Always
As long as you do what you know to be true
I’m gonna be right here next to you

I’ll never leave you throughout your life
I’ll never leave you throughout your strife
I know that you’re going to make mistakes
But even rock hard diamonds break

As long as you do what you know to be true
I’m gonna be right here next to you

"Hold On to the Mast" Lyrics:
The storm is coming
The storm is near
The storm is coming
You fear

But you’ve gotta stay safe
And there’s one thing you can do to stay safe
You’ve gotta forget the past
And hold on to the mast

The storm is coming
There’s no place to go
The ship is out of sight
The shore is in the light

There’s just one thing you can see in the stormy ocean
And that’s the mast

But inside you feel so peaceful
But inside you feel alive
Inside you have faith that you’ll be saved

But you gotta hold on to the mast
Hold onto the mast
Hold on to the mast
Hold on to the mast

Hold onto the mast
And never let go
The mast; the piece in the middle of the ship
The mast; the long white piece in the middle of your boat
You gotta hold to the mast
Hold to the mast
Hold to the mast
Hold on to the mast, man

"Castles" Lyrics:
You used to have a castle
But you never found out where home is
Life is such a hassle
And you feel like life is just a pop quiz
And it is

I’ve lived in many castles
And I never found out where home is
Used to never be a hassle
Nothin was ever broken or had to be fixed
Castle

Oh castles
All I wanted was home
Oh hassles
Won’t you go away and let me reform?

I just want a castle that keeps me warm
A castle that shelters me from the storm

I remember in the old days
When all that I had was kept safe
I remember in those days
Oh, before the tidal wave came

Oh how I wish I was grateful back then
All I can say now is “remember when?”

Life inside my castle
I miss you so bad

Life inside my castle
Life inside my castle
Life inside my castle

One day I had it all
The next day there was a fall
One day I had it all
Now my castle is so small

All I ever wanted was home

"National Basketball Anthem" Lyrics:
Basketball takes practice
Basketball takes skill

If you wanna play basketball, you gotta be grea
Push people around and make them irrate
If you wanna get into the NBA
And you’re sitting on your couch, then don’t stay

Pick up a basketball
Shoot the basketball
Pass the basketball
Bounce the basketball

If you wanna play in the big leagues
You gotta learn the moves and get the keys
To success which are work and more hard work
You gotta get some sweat in your shirt

Be like Dirk
Be like LeBron
Be like Hakeem Olajuwon

And Michael Jordan
And Jerry Sloan
And Scottie Pippen
And Karl Malone

What?
You don’t know how to play?
Well I’m gonna tell you
So listen, K?

This is how you play basketball
Dribble through your legs before you fall
Pick up the basketball
Dunk it in the hoop, then you can call

“I know how to play basketball”
And you’ll be so good, you’ll never fall
You just gotta work hard and try your best
Maybe one day you’ll be better than the rest

Basketball takes practice
Basketball takes skill
Basketball gives glory
Basketball gives thrill
Basketball takes practice
Basketball takes skill
Basketball gives glory
Basketball gives thrill

You might wanna play for the New York Knicks
Or Chicago Bulls or Los Angeles Lakers
You might wanna play for the Brooklyn Nets
Or Miami Heat or Philly Sixers

Maybe you just wanna play street ball
But either way, it’s basketball

You wanna beat all
You wanna play ball
You wanna make calls
Don’t play with dolls

You don’t want to fall
Down the hall
Or in the mall
Or while reading Paul

Who used to be Saul
But now he’s tall
So he can touch the wall
And play basketball

But one day he didn’t know how
So I had to tell him; I had to shout
“This is how you play basketball:
Dribble through your legs before you fall”

It takes persistence
To go the distance
You don’t have to be tall
To play basketball

You just have to work hard
And learn the sport
Take over the court
Even if you’re short

Always try and never fall
“I know how to play basketball”
Say “I know how to play basketball”
Yeah “I know how to play basketball”

"Under Expectations" Lyrics:
I’ve been living under expectations
I’ve been living in the population
I’ve been living without a foundation
This is giving me lots of frustration

We’ve gotta stop living under expectations
We’ve gotta stop living in the population








"Overseas" Lyrics:
If you ever feel like you’ve got
Nowhere left to go
If you ever feel like you’ve got
Nothin’ left to show

And you feel like you’ve got nowhere left to be
And you feel like you’ve got nothin’ left to see
And you feel like it’s all over; overseas
You’ll find your place; you’ll find your place with me

If you ever feel like you’ve got
Nothin’ left to do
If you ever feel like there is
Nothin’ left for you

And you feel like you’ve got nothin’ left to be
And you feel like you’ve got nowhere left to see
And you feel like it’s all over; overseas
You’ll find your place; know you’ll find your place with me

You’ll find your place; know you’ll find your place with me
With me
With me
With me

You have everything to live for
You’ve got everything to be
You can go and travel all the places
You’ve wanted to see

Everything is different
Everybody cares
Every single person in the world will know
You’re there

Everybody listens
Everything is great
Everything isn’t lost
It’s all a piece of cake
With me

If you ever feel like there is
Nothin’ left for you
You’ll find your place
You’ll find your place with me

"Vanguard" Lyrics:
We’re not just some random kids from off the street
We have some potential and the world to beat
We can endure trials through snow or rain or sleet
Great things to accomplish, great people to be

Oh how we love learning; each autodidacts
Come ask us a question, ‘cause we know the facts
God is our foundation, with Him nothing lacks
Individuality is something we track
We live citizenship and self-government
For a certain purpose to this world we’re sent
We have the best mentors; teachers that are meant
To help us along our way; make sure we’re not bent

‘Cause we’re Vanguard. We shoot for master class.
Vanguard. We have happiness.

We know liberty and the constitution
We’ll fight communism, but without a gun
Use words and ideas united as one
Once everything’s over, we can say we won

Cause we’re Vanguard. Leaders that have might.
Vanguard. Truth is in our sight.
Vanguard. The forefront of light.
Vanguard. Spearhead of the fight.

Freedom! That is what we’ve got.
Freedom! We’ll never give it up.

Vanguard wins the battle, Vanguard beats the dark
Vanguard are the leaders, Vanguard makes a mark
Vanguard is triumphant, Vanguard gets the win
Vanguard will forever feud wickedness and sin

God is on our side; that means we’ll never fail
We will draw our boundary; keep distance from the rail
We’ll never give up, not in the rain or hail
Even if it seems like we’re as slow as a snail
Sometimes we are called to have burdens we bear
Love we have for others we will surely share
We have found that even when life isn’t fair
We can still work hard and we can always care

Even through all hardship, God is not gone
He is always with us, helping us along
We can win the battle; right will beat wrong
All we have to do is turn the light on

Personal life missions matter a lot
Throughout all of Vanguard, that is what we’ve sought
Everybody learns to live with what they’ve got
If we live our missions, more we will be taught

We’re all Vanguard heroes who stand for principles
Strong in service so we can work miracles
We the Vanguard Youth accept the challenge to
Move forward in our pursuit of right and truth

Yeah, we’re Vanguard. We love leadership.
Vanguard. We know history tips.
Vanguard. Literature and art.
Vanguard. A Eureka heart.

One day we’ll stand up before the judgement seat
We’ll fall to our knees and kneel at Jesus’ feet
He will know that the flag of freedom we unfurled
And then we can tell Him, “Yes, I changed the world”

"Revolutionary" Lyrics:
Revolutionaries are people that want to see a change
Revolutionaries are people that are so very strange
Revolutionary is a term that means “go rearrange”
Revolutionary just means that you’re hanging in the range

Go ahead and start to be a revolutionary and then
You will find yourself so busy that you can hardly count to ten
Tools that revolutionaries use are more often ink and pen
Revolutionaries observe patterns that happen and again
Revolutionaries are so many but not all are just men
Yo

Revolutionaries do not have to fight so violently no
Revolutionaries should use thoughts and words to do their deeds
Oh

Revolutionaries have a love and hate relationship
In controversial matters to a certain side they grip
Revolutionaries use their talents to help a sure cause
They battle and disagree with unconstitutional laws

In war, revolutionaries are the ones who fight and perish
In peace, revolutionaries are the ones who love and cherish
One thing revolutionaries never do is overlook
Things that matter and the things that are written in the good book
Those revolutionaries cannot ever, ever be shook
By demons

Revolutionaries are revolutionaries rich or poor
Revolutionaries love their country so they fight hard in war

Revolutionaries only fight because they want to be free
Revolutionaries only fight because they want their liberty


"Go Back" Lyrics:
If I could go back and never sing it again, then I would go back and always wing it again.

If I could go back, then I would sing it again.
If I could go back, then I would wing it again.
If I could go back, then I would go to GC with some money with Isaiah (Ben J. Ayre) standing next to me.
Walk in, we would buy some hot dogs.
Worth it, all along.
Sometimes we’d get sick, but you think we care?
All along, ‘cause it was so worth it there.
C’mon, sing it!
If I could go back, then I would sing it again.
If I could go back, then I would wing it again.
Remember those times when we rode the go kart up the street?
And we crashed it into that guy’s random fence.
And we were so scared ‘cause we got the go kart stuck.
Yeah!

"Stormy Seas" Lyrics:
On the stormy seas
We weren’t meant to be
Crashed into the rocks
Body full of shocks
On the stormy sea
Oh
On the stormy sea
Oh
We weren’t meant
Oh
We weren’t meant to be
Got lost on the map
Yeah
Slipped into the trap
Yeah
Underneath the waves
Deep into the caves

On the stormy sea
We weren’t meant to be
On the stormy seas
We weren’t meant to be

"Bakbone" Lyrics:
Remember when we
Hung out all the time
Just you and me
No worries
Then you went away
And we’ll never say
The past again
Or how we’d been
How come I never
See you forever
How come I never
See you forever

You always told me
To be who I should be
You used to say to me
“Be good”
Love let me go
We’re still friends though
So I’ll just be me
And a beauty I’ll see
How come I never
See you forever
How come I never
See you forever

From the moment we met
Through every moment we spent
You know I love you
You know I chose you
Even when you were gone
I’ve been here all along
Just waiting and waiting
And never debating

Your eyes shine
They’re bright yellow stars
In a deep dark sky
A sky filled with scars
You make me fly
With birds to the blue
With the ultimate goal of one day
Catchin’ you
How come I never
See you forever
How come I never
See you forever
One day we’ll be together
Not just me and whoever
How come I never
See you forever

If I had you, you’d be my bakbone
When I had you, you were my bakbone
You are my bakbone

How come I never
See you forever
How come I never
See you forever
Oh

"Sunk" Lyrics:
Brother I don’t know where I’m going
Brother I don’t know how to get home
Brother this language I’m speaking
Brother there’s no place to go

Brother I don’t know what I’m doing
Brother just let me go home
My unsinkable ship has been tossed
The only thing I feel now is lost

Brother I don’t know where I’m going
Brother please take me home
Brother I don’t know what to do
I’m in love
I’m in love

"Independence Hall 2.0" Lyrics:
I’ve been living here my whole life long
I’ve been waiting here for someone strong
Someone who’ll come and fix this nation’s wrongs
But all along I’ve realized I belong

You can’t just sit around and expect change
You don’t just wake up one day with glory and fame
Everyone’s just looking for someone to blame
When what we should be doing is winning the game
I say

America is falling
The depths of destruction are calling
But unlike all the fallen nations past
America will last

America is stalling
This nation has become appalling
But unlike superpowers of the past
America is going to last

All we have to do is remember
And live the principles of our founders
For what they did at Independence Hall
Don’t ever let our constitution fall
That is my prayer, yeah that’s my prayer to all

"Grand Fortune" Lyrics:
I’ve got everything in this world
That money cannot buy
And all the money you could ever want
I’m not shy

I’ve got luck and life doesn’t suck
‘Cause fortune abounds
I’ve got that grand fortune that’s coveted by
Everyone around

Fortune is the name of this place
So don’t come in unless you’ve got a face
Fortune abounds all around
What you find lost can always be found found


I worked hard and I won the race
I got a shiny trophy in a case
Everybody, hear this sound:
I’ll never find myself on the ground

Now I’ll never have to use a brace
Now my life is chalk full of spare space
I will always wear my crown
‘Cause I’m the one who rules this town

I know my foundation and my base
I know one thing: I’ve become an ace
Fortune abounds all around
What you find lost can always be found found

I won’t let it go
No, I’ll never lose control
No I’ll never let it, never let it, never let it go
No, I’ll never let it go
No I will not lose control
Oh and I won’t let it, I won’t let it, I won’t let it go

I’ve got everything in this world
From the ground to the sky
And all the money you could ever want
I won’t die

I’m thunderstruck; I’ve got a million bucks
‘Cause fortune abounds
I’ve got that grand fortune and with it I’ll knock
Everyone down

Fortune is the name of this place
So don’t come in unless you’re with a face
Fortune abounds all around
What you find lost can always be found found

Fortune I will never chase
‘Cause I have everything in my place
I can just forget all these clowns
I’ve got fortune; I’ll never back down

Fortune you can never erase
I’ve got style; I’ve got grace
Everybody erase your frowns
‘Cause I’m the one who made the touchdown


Fortune is the name of this place
Everyone else is just a disgrace
Fortune abounds all around
What you find lost can always be found found

Oh and I won’t let it go
No, I’ll never lose control
No I’ll never let it, never let it, never let it go
No, I’ll never let it go
No I will not lose control
Oh and I won’t let it, I won’t let it, I won’t let it go

"Shipwrecked!" Lyrics:
When you’re going shipwrecked
When the going’s hard
You’re close to shipwrecked
You play your last card

The technology
Around you’s high
The world’s so advanced and
You’re feeling shy

The remains have sunken
Into the depths
The sea is not calm
And nothing helps


You think back to when
You had it all
You think to back then
Now you feel so small

You had all the glory
You were loved by all
You had such a story
Before your fall

Forced into a shipwreck
And you can’t get out
You can only give your
Last call in a shout

Oh!
I’m shipwrecked!

Say oh!
I’m shipwrecked!

There’s only one person
Who can get me out
There’s only one person
Who can show me the route
He’s always there
Though He may seem gone
He always cares
So just fly on

Shipwrecked! I’m shipwrecked! Shipwrecked! I’m shipwrecked!

Stuck on this island
With my blazer on
I try to find you
But the truth is you’re gone
I’d give anything
To go back
But no one can do that
Not even a Pack

When you’re close to shipwrecked
And the going’s hard
You feel so tired ‘cause
You’re far as Mars
Get out of your shipwreck
Get up on your feet
Move on from your shipwreck
And find a new fleet

"Dreams" Lyrics:
I will wake up tomorrow
Without you here next to me
I will wake up tomorrow
Wishing that you loved me

Every night it’s just torture
Dreaming of you and him
But every once in awhile
Life doesn’t seem so dim

‘Cause you may walk away
But in my dreams you’ll stay
You’ll stay

Every day I’m just dreaming
Dreaming without a doubt
‘Cause somewhere inside my head
It’s gonna one day work out

‘Cause you may leave this place
But in my dreams you’ll stay
And how I’m gonna be sad
If my dreams go bad

Sometimes I’d rather be awake than asleep
‘Cause it’s you and me that I want to keep
Sometimes I’d rather be asleep than awake
‘Cause I want real, I don’t want fake

I don’t wanna be left alone
In real life I don’t wanna be on my own
But in my dreams there’s you and me
So I’m good with that if that’s how it’s gotta be

Nightmares are tough, but I will endure
If that means that you’re gonna open the door
One day I’ll be out of your life
But that doesn’t mean you’ll be out of mine
I’ll always dream of you
Never a night will come when I don’t do

One day you’ll walk away
But in my dreams you’ll stay
You’ll stay

"I Got the Keys" Lyrics:
Oh I got the keys, I got ‘em
Got the keys along with the gem
Oh I have the keys, I have them
Making sure I don’t break the stem

If I ever went and lost the keys
I have, that would be the hardest thing for me
I’ll never let go of the keys I have
Keep being glad and don’t stop being rad

I know what makes me glad; I know what makes me happy
Why let it go bad and start being snappy?
I love to hear Champion bang his drum
I love to hear Martin sing and hum

I like to see Hayward beat up on LeBron
Watchin’ Miami win makes me yawn
I learn about the shapers; the ones who penned
Declarations and constitutions
They aren’t just words on papers; they mean somethin’
Hearin’ Obama doesn’t make me grin
Unless the grin’s ‘cause it’s hilarious
Not when Joe Biden is vicarious

When you know the keys to being
Happy there’s no disagreeing
That you need to hold on to them
And that’s being like the wise men

You can go on and scroll down Facebook and Twitter
And Google+ (Wait, what’s that? A brand of glitter?)
Whatever it is, it’s a waste of time
So are Facebook and Twitter; they just lead to crime

If it doesn’t bring happiness, go on and cool it
Find out what makes you happy, then go out and do it
Figure out your passion. Is it music? Is it ball?
Once you find out, you’ll stop runnin’ into walls

Some people like geography
Some people like photography
Some even like pornography
If that’s you, get off technology

Whatever makes you happy, as long as it’s good,
Go after that; don’t be misunderstood
Some people search the world to find their dreams
Do what you gotta do ‘til your passion gleams

Do not sell your happiness for
Something that will soon be spent
Or something that you will find bent
Or something that is worth a cent, oh

Washington; he liked to work hard
Ray Allen is a shooting guard
Beethoven; he liked to compose
Calvin Klein, he liked to make clothes
Vincent Van Gogh liked to paint lots
Baden Powell; he liked to tie knots
Vivaldi liked to play the strings
Franklin liked to do lots of things

Whatever brings you happiness
Whether it’s golf or manliness
Don’t stop ‘til you’re satisfied by
What you have done and what you’ve tried

Take a job in London; take a job in L.A.
Go to New Jersey; go to Hudson Bay
If leavin’ makes you sad, then you can just stay
But when your chance comes, you gotta say “okay”

You have limitless opportunity
From the ends of the earth to your community
This nation is the land of the free
Do what you want to do; be what you want to be

Don’t let anyone stop you or get in your way
Roadblocks’ll come; don’t let ‘em lead you astray
If you’ve got that conviction and determination
You can impact a whole civilization

One day you’ll hear the whole world screamin’ your name
If that’s what you want then go after fame
But you can never forget to get on your knees
To thank the one who gave you the keys

Oh I got the keys, I got ‘em
One day I was at the bottom
Then I found my happiness now
Losing these keys I won’t allow

"Now I'm Home" Lyrics:
Home
Where I wanted to be
Home
Now I can see
Home
What a long journey
Home
Where I can be me

I’ve
Been gone for so long
I’ve grown so much
Right beat wrong
Home
Such a great journey
I’ll never be the same
But that’s how it’s gotta be

Yeah
I’ve been waiting for home
Now I’m finally here
After the fall of Rome
Home
This is my one love
This is my desire
To be up above


Yeah
Such a heavenly place
This is my home
So let’s make haste
Home
I can never undo
Or change the past
But I’m here with you

Now I’m home this is where I belong
Now I’m home where I can write a song
Home my life will be long
‘Cause after all of the journeys and scurries and worries

Now I’m Home
Where I belong
Now I’m home where I can write a song
Home my life will be long
‘Cause after all of the journeys and scurries and worries

Now I’m Home
This is where I belong
Home where I can write a song
Home my life will be long
Now I’m Home
Now I’m Home
Now I’m Home
