Quiet Reflection [Renewed]
[la la la
la la la
la la la
oh oh
hmm] I have seen the halls empty
without people
and I was happy
but it felt cold
I've seen my soul swimming
but it was drowning
and I was laughing
cause I wasn't about to be saved can you see me?
sometimes I can't even see myself
wo-o-oh
no, no, no
maybe being seen's
not all that it's cracked up to be
there's a big crack in my mirror and I hope
that things maybe will get better
nothing's better
and I try
but I can't but I believe
that each of us has our own plan
look closely, you'll see that we do I went on a walk
down to the park
where I beheld
some children
just tossing stones and watching the waves
so I stood aside
and threw in a stone
but the water didn't ripple at all I believe
that it lives inside of you
I believe
that it lives inside of me too
and it's true
that each of us has our own plan
look closely, you'll see that we do
in the water
you can see yourself reflected back
wo-o-oh
oh, oh, oh
but can you see through
the surface to what lies beneath?
maybe I need a new mirror
and I watch
cause I'm waiting for my moment
single moment
see it come
see it pass
I believe
that it lives inside of you
I believe
that it lives inside of me too
but it hides
'cause each of us has our own time
and I am still wait-ing for mine
I believe
that it lives inside of you
I believe
that it lives inside of me too
and it's true
that each of us has our own plan
look closely you'll see that we do
now it's just me and my mirror

Milestone [the Passenger Song]
let me be your passenger
spend each mile by your side
our roof down, wind all through our hair
just enjoying the lifelong ride
let me be your passenger
without you this road's too long
I want to share the miles with you
and ride on the road of life is a long and weary highway
a one way street
but with so many lanes
I just want to be near you
and to have you near me
'cause without you each day feels the same
all the same oh
others want to get ahead in life
so go ahead
speed on by
they're missing out on all the sights that I
hold so dear
you'll find me here
in the right lane now I just want this song to be your milestone
to let you see
just how far we have come
and show you that we still have so much further to go
but it's better when you take it slow
take it slow oh
let me be your passenger
can't wait to enjoy the ride others want to get ahead in life
so go ahead
speed on by
they're missing out on all the sights that I
hold so dear
you'll find me here
n the right lane ooo
shift into low gears
just want to be here
ooo, ooo, ooo
turn on the headlights
don't go missing these sights
ooo, ooo |

Old People Driving
old people
they drive so slowly
old people drive so slo-o-owly I like to go out driving
most every day
but then these stupid grammas
get in the way
I try to go around them
but that don't work
'cause every lane has some old
jerk old people
they drive so slowly
old people drive so slo-o-owly if I could keep one gramma
clear off the road
then I'd have done my part and
lightened the load
there'd be a bit more freeway
where I could try
to drive so fast I almost
fly la la la la... |

The Gate
per me si va ne la cittą dolente,
per me si va ne l'etterno dolore,
per me si va tra la perduta gente. giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore:
fecemi la divina podestate,
la somma sapienza e 'l primo amore. Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create
se non etterne, e io etterno duro. Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate welcome to the kingdom of pain
hear the dead scream and see the fire rain
feel the dagger pressed against your neck
this is hell - what did you expect? I am the way into the doleful city
I am the way into eternal grief
I am the way to a forsaken race
abandon hope
I am the way into the doleful city
[I am the way: come and enter!]
I am the way into eternal grief
[I am the way: enter in!]
I am the way to a forsaken race
[I am the way: heed my words!]
abandon hope welcome to the devil's abode
the dead end on your soul's pathetic road
as in life you sowed the seeds of sin
now it's time to reap the whirlwind I am the way into the doleful city
I am the way into eternal grief
I am the way to a forsaken race
abandon hope
I am the way into the doleful city
[I am the way: come and enter!]
I am the way into eternal grief
[I am the way: enter in!]
I am the way to a forsaken race
[I am the way: heed my words!]
abandon hope I've seen countless souls pass through me
but all were going in
if you think you'll be escaping hell
poor fool, you cannot win
your fate has been decided
the single vote is cast
and you will spend eternity
in hell if your soul lasts I am the way into the doleful city
I am the way into eternal grief
I am the way to a forsaken race
abandon hope
I am the way into the doleful city
[I am the way: come and enter!]
I am the way into eternal grief
[I am the way: enter in!]
I am the way to a forsaken race
[I am the way: heed my words!]
abandon hope
I am the way into the doleful city
[I am the way: come and enter!]
I am the way into eternal grief
[I am the way: enter in!]
I am the way to a forsaken race
[I am the way: heed my words!]
abandon hope
I am the way into the doleful city
[I am the way: come and enter!]
I am the way into eternal grief
[I am the way: enter in!]
I am the way to a forsaken race
[I am the way: heed my words!]
abandon hope

We
what can I
do for you
to make you feel like I feel when I'm with you?
like I'm somebody and like
my life means something too
how can I
make you see
just how incredible you have been for me
I've never been so happy
as knowing now that you and me
are we and it feels so good
mmm
and it feels so good
mmm, mmm
to be with you
how can words
ever say
just what it means to me to hear your words each day
before you I wasn't okay
but I'm better now in every way
how could I
ever be
just half as much to you as you have been for me
I've never been so happy
as knowing now that you and me
are we and it feels so good
mmm
and it feels so good
mmm, mmm
to be with you
alright
again and I hope that this song
makes you smile
oh, that smile is all I need
'cause the joy in your eyes
is my world's highest prize
realize that it's you I
idolize and it feels so good
mmm
and it feels so good
mmm, mmm
and it feels so good
mmm
and it feels so good
mmm, mmm
to be with you

Lullaby
[it was just a little dream
in the morning you'll be fine
it was just a little dream
in the morning you'll be fine] I can hear you crying out from your bed
from all the fears inside your head
I can see you drifting off from yourself
and there's not a living soul to help
bring you back to where it's safe and warm and today it felt just like a dream
making fiction of our youth as we
play our thoughts out at heaven's gate
ten years early, twenty minutes late
brings you back to where it's dark and cold [it was just a little dream
in the morning you'll be fine
it was just a little dream
in the morning you'll be fine
it was just a little dream
in the morning you'll be fine
it was just a little dream
in the morning you'll be fine...] and as I lay myself down to sleep
I pray my soul, my life, my dreams to keep
and as I lay myself down to sleep
I pray my soul, my life, my dreams to keep
and as I lay myself down to sleep
I pray my soul, my life, my dreams to keep
and as I lay myself down to sleep
I pray my soul, my life, my dreams to keep |

Upside-Down
when I turn upside-down
my whole mood gets turned around
cause when the ground is up above
there's no need to stay grounded
and when I stand on my head
I couldn't care less what they said
cause when the clouds are down below
I'll be walking on air
na na na...
well I know I know I know
I've been spending too much
spending way too much time up in my own head
so it's time it's time it's time to just
give myself a little time to just
flip over and readjust
and lie careless on my bed
cause when I turn upside-down
my whole mood gets turned around
cause when the ground is up above
there's no need to stay grounded
and when I stand on my head
I couldn't care less what they said
cause when the clouds are down below
I'll be walking on air
na na na...
so when the world is on your shoulders
put your shoulders on the world
when there's something on your mind
put yourself above it
cause no matter what the matter it won't matter
when your matter is over your mind
I guarantee
na na na... |

Breathe
Hey breathe it'll be fine
At least you're still alive
Well you're down
Like a lot of people that I know
You're feeling left behind
And you're giving up hope
Let me give you hope
If life's too big and you're feeling small
Then it's time you learned the good things about yourself
Did I ever tell you you were beautiful?
mmm mmm
Did two hundred thousand people too?
Well sorry we didn't say so but we were all thinking it
And I guess we assumed you knew
Hey breathe how does it feel?
It's so comfortably real
Hey girl show me your eyes
Their tears reflect the light
Now don't you feel alive
Just to know you're still alive
Let's run
Let go of the feelings that you know
Leave darker worlds behind
And discover hope
All around yourself
When belief makes truth your problems are little
And it's time you learned the good things about yourself
Did I ever tell you you were beautiful?
ohh ohh
Did two hundred million people too?
Well I'm sorry we didn't say it but we were all thinking it
And I guess we just thought you knew
I know you're beautiful
I see you're beautiful
It's true you're beautiful
No doubt at all
My eyes tell me you're beautiful
My heart tells me you're beautiful
Your hair tells me you're beautiful
Your mirror sings along
Your mother tells me you're beautiful
Your friends tell me you're beautiful
Now say that you're beautiful
I want to hear it from you |

Zoo
Let's go to the zoo
And see if the little monkeys want to be our friends
Just me and you
And maybe a dozen golden lion tamarins
Cause monkeys are fun to play with
Everybody likes a monkey
And you know it's hard to feel down when you're
Swingin' tree to tree
Like a chimpanzee
I'll be feeling good with you at the zoo

Smoke of Love
I've got no chance tonight
Loose ends got tied into knots, alright
And soon I'll see my sweet lady come
And stars will sing blue while I alight
One hopping discotheque
Oh shift shift shifting my mind's a wreck
But I have yet to crash in a flash
I'm here where I've been where I remain
Is my start too fast or is my heart too slow?
I wish that anybody but me knew, but no
I'm doubly endeared
Till the smoke of love clears
I guess that life's not fair
'Cause I did nothing but care for you
While honesty is good and I should
Be true you'd die if you ever knew
And my other pretty's only half aware
What it means to have and what it means to share
Polite eager fear
Till the smoke of love clears
I know
You pick one up you've got to let one go
It's not pick up sticks
The game is kerplunk
But I think
It's time for me to be
Allowed to be jealous and selfish for once in my life
Like a jerk
And not care if I'm causing you heartache or pain
And not feel like somebody's depending on me
Who to me's more important than I am to me
And do something that's wrong cause it feels good to me
Like a jerk
Have you ever just wanted
Then woke up to your tears |

Every Day Is Beautiful
What an ugly day
I think I'll be staying inside
It's too hot [it's too cold]
Overcast [too much wind]
I'll stay in-side This humidity
This calamity, it drains me
Lacking energy [just how it is]
Don't think I'll go out [I want to]
Stay inside
I don't care
If I get soaked
By my sweat, or rain
Every day is beautiful
Never once
Have I had one
Reason to complain
Every day is beautiful
And if the sky is dark
It must be a beautiful night
Cause there's a light inside me
With or without the sunlight
[Let your light shine down on me] I don't see
You disagree
Makes no sense to me
Every day is beautiful
Every day is beautiful
Every day
Every day
Every day
Every day
