They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul
A voyager and a settler, they both have a distinct goal
If I explore the heavens or if I search inside
It really doesn't matter, as long as I can tell myself I've always tried
(chorus)
Like a roller in the ocean life is motion, move on
Like a wind that's always blowing life is flowing, move on
Like a sunrise in the morning life is dawning, move on
How I treasure every minute, being part of being in it, with the urge to move on.
I've travelled every country, I've travelled in my mind.
It seems we're on a journey, a trip through space and time
As I realise the answer to all the questions why
What really makes the difference between all dead and living things is the will to stay alive
(chorus)
Like a roller in the ocean life is motion, move on
Like a wind that's always blowing life is flowing, move on
Like a sunrise in the morning life is dawning, move on
How I treasure every minute, being part of being in it, with the urge to move on.
The morning breeze that ripples the surface of the sea
The crying of the seagull that hover over me
I sea it and I hear it but how can I explain
The wonder of the moment - to be alive and feel the sun that follows every rain.
(chorus)
Like a roller in the ocean life is motion, move on
Like a wind that's always blowing life is flowing, move on
Like a sunrise in the morning life is dawning, move on
How I treasure every minute, being part of being in it, with the urge to move on.
(THIS IS A SONG THAT ALWAYS BRINGS A LUMP INTO MY THROAT. IF MY SELF-ESTEEM IS LOW, I DRAW COMFORT FROM THE FIRST VERSE. IF I'M FEELING DEPRESSED DRAW COMFORT FROM THE SECOND VERSE AND THE THIRD VERSE JUST REMINDS ME OF THE JOYS OF LIVING. THE CHORUS REMINDS ME THAT EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST NEEDN'T MATTER. WE SHOULD LOOK TO THE FUTURE. I WISH I LISTENED TO IT MORE OFTEN. (If you want to know who the artist is, ask me - it's on Youtube if you want to hear it.)
You stand apart
Alone you are
Working on your masterpiece
They laugh, they stare
No one could tear
Invite you to hang out with them
Look around, no where to go
They get ya down cause you just like to know
Chorus:
Where you belong
Just looking for the place that you fit in
Too cool, too weird, it's always something
Try hard, but you can't seem to get there
Where you belong
So what, so what if you're different
It's what you is, not what you isn't
Someday, it will be somewhere
You dress in black, head full of facts
A real encyclopedia
I've blown away
With what, you say
I love the way you look at things
Don't take it all so hard
Seems to me, you're not so very far
Chorus
Just got to happy with yourself
Always trying to be somebody else
Everybody just trying to find a place
Chorus 2x
Where you belong
Someday, it will be something
Hey dad,look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan
And do you think I'm wasting my time
Doing things I wanna do
But it hurts when you disaprove all alone
And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I never gonna be good enough for you
Can't pretending that I'm alright
And you can't change me
Cause we lost it all
Nothing last forever
I'm sorry, I can't be perfect
Now it just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry, I can't be perfect
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
And you know you use to be my hero
All the days you spend with me
Now seems so far away
And its feels like you don't care anymore
And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I never gonna be good enough for you
Can't pretending that I'm alright
And you can't change me
Cause we lost it all
Nothing last forever
I'm sorry, I can't be perfect
Now it just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry, I can't be perfect
Nothing gonna change the things that you said
Nothing gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe
It's hard just to talk to you
But you don't understand
Cause we lost it all
Nothing last forever
I'm sorry, I can't be perfect
Now it just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry, I can't be perfect

This world
This world is cold
But you don't
You don't have to go
You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely, and no one seems to care
Your mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bear
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Your days
You say they're way too long
And your nights
You can't sleep at all
Hold on
And you're not sure what you're waiting for, but you don't want to know more
And you're not sure what you're looking for, but you don't want to know more
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on
What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead...What are you waiting for?
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Hold on
Time goes by, I just try
To hold my head up high
People try to deny
Classify, or just hide
The feelings, what's inside
Broken hearts, and hard times
Don't let life break you down this time
I'm sitting here, crying here
You're alone, and dying there
Waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
No answers for what was asked, you're all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy
Don't give up just hold on
Is the pain just too strong
To hold on
Sometimes we're wrong when we think we're right
Tonight will be the night
You'll break free from this fight
Dont let life break you down this time
I'm sitting here, crying here
You're alone, and dying there
Waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
No answers for what was asked, you're all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy
I die inside from all I feel
Does it have to be this way?
Memories of yesterday
When it all just slips away
I give up everything I had to keep you one more day
I know that it's not right
Why do we feel this way?
Why do I feel this way
I'm sitting here, crying here
You're alone, and dying there
Waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
No answers for what was asked, you're all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy
Shes upset
Bad day
Heads for the dresser drawer to
Drive her pain away
Nothing good can come of this.
She opens it theres nothing there
Is only left over tears
Mom and dad had no right she screams
As the anger runs down both of her cheeks.
Then she closed her eyes
And found relief in a knife
The blood flows as she cries
All alone the way she feels
Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched sorrow relief
Bite the lip just forget the bleeding
Then she closed her eyes
And found relief in a knife
The blood flows as she cries [x2]
Curled up shes on the floor
Relief left her she had hoped for something more
From it (hoped for something more)
From it
He leans down to comfort her
She is weeping and He
Wraps His arms around
And around and around and...
The deeper you cut
The deeper I hurt
The deeper you cut
It only gets worse
Now shes slowly opening...
New eyes...
Then she opened her eyes
And found relief through His life
And put down her knives
Then she opened her life
And found relief through His eyes
And put down
She put down her life
I love this song...makes me cry everytime. its got a good music video too. The "He" and "Him" referred to are God. So at the end of the song the girl has finally found the unconditional love God offers. A song that gives me hope that theres light at the end of the tunnel

I can't believe your thinking
save everyone, inside you
take everything
fake everything
save everything--about me
all of you, (all right)
just, just because, I want to know
do you still (come last night with clear eyes peeled/pale)
you never got there (even though you say you will)
sorry now that you've fallen from my eyes
that's the truth
why tell me about (everything)
why tell me about (anything)
you're just waiting for her to come apart
you're just waiting for her
take everything
fake everything
save everything
tear open a hole so i can see the devisation, i cant remeber,
holding on, to let in whilst giving to me, to hide behind the mask this time and try to beleive,open your eye to what you see u can embrace it,leaving well alone i dont rmeber.
cut ur pride to what you see, you cant deinie it, you know you take it on board but dont remeber.
And i cant remeber, to no this, will conquer me, and i cant just walk alone, and try to escape into me..
"no I wont give up, and I wont breakdown 'cause sooner then is seems life turns around and I will be strong even if it all goes wrong when i am standing in the dark I still believe...that someones watching over me.
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her when she smiles
How many days in the year she woke up with hope
But she only found tears
Actin' so insincere
Making the promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in soles of her shoes
How many days disapear
You look in the mirror so how do you choose
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls out quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her when she smiles
How many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this shit day after day
How do we wind up this way
Watchin' the mouths for the words I would say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes of the soles I would chose
How do we get there today
If we're walkin' to far from the price of the shoes
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls out quite the same way
You never run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her when she smiles
And your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls out quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
This is the story of a girl
Who's pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looked so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her when she smiles
To my surprise, and my delight
I saw sunrise, I saw sunlight
I am nothing in the dark
And the clouds burst to show daylight
Ooh and the sun will shine
Yeah on this heart of mine
Ooh and I realise
Who cannot live without
Ooh come apart without
It
On a hill top, on a sky-rise
Like a first born child
At full tilt, and in full flight
Defeat darkness, breaking daylight
Ooh and the sun will shine
Yeah on this heart of mine
Ooh and I realise
Who cannot live without
Ooh come apart without
Daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight...
It means a lot to me because I listened to that song w/ my friends the night after we graduated high school. We stayed up all night to watch the sunrise while sitting on some cliffs by our houses. One of the people is to this day my best friend and he really became my best friend on that night and during that summer. Everytime I here it it makes me smile.
Unforgiven...this song is really about what i used to think of myself
Hands...has a line in it that speaks to how i think now...the line says, we are never broken.
Her name is Cherry, We've just met, but already she knows me better than you,
She understands me, after 18 years, and you still dont see me like you ought to do,
Maybe we could talk 'bout things, if you were made of wood and strings,
While i love her every sound, i don't know how to turn you down,
And your so thick and my patience thin, so i got me a new best friend,
With a pick-up that puts you to shame, and Cherry is her name,
And when i'm lonely, Cherry's there, and she plays along while i sing out my blues,
I could be cryin, and you dont care, you wont call me back, your stubborn as a mule,
Maybe we could talk 'bout things, if you was made of wood and strings,
You might think i've gone too far, i'm talking 'bout my new guitar.
chorus:
Today I fell,and felt better, just knowing this matters,
I jus feel sharper, and stronger,
found a box of sharp objects; what a beautiful thing
