I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
but she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it’s got nothing to do with me
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Ooh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Boys, you can break
You find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart
On behalf of every man
looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.

I worry
I weigh three times my body
I worry
I throw my fear around
But this morning
There's a calm I can't explain
The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain
By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light pretending
That it somehow lingered on
Well all ive got
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will pay no mind
Well it won't and it won't because it can't
It just can't
It's not supposed to
Was there a second of time I looked around?
Did I sail through or drop my anchor down?
Was anything enough to kiss the ground
And say I'm here now?
And she is here now
So much wasted in the afternoon
So much sacred in the month of June
How bout you?
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
That it won't and it won't and it won't
And I will pay no mind
Worried bout no rainy weather
And I will waste no time
Remaining in our life together
I weigh three times my body
I worry
I throw my fear around
But this morning
There's a calm I can't explain
The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain
By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light pretending
That it somehow lingered on
Well all ive got
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will pay no mind
Well it won't and it won't because it can't
It just can't
It's not supposed to
Was there a second of time I looked around?
Did I sail through or drop my anchor down?
Was anything enough to kiss the ground

And she is here now
So much wasted in the afternoon
So much sacred in the month of June
How bout you?
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
That it won't and it won't and it won't
And I will pay no mind
Worried bout no rainy weather
And I will waste no time
Remaining in our life together
Take all of your wasted honor.
Every little past frustration.
Take all of your so called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations.
Say what you need to say
Walkin' like a one man army,
Fightin' with the shadows in your head.
Livin' up the same old moment
Knowin' you'd be better off instead
If you could only...Say what you need to say
Have no fear for givin' in.
Have no fear for giving over.
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.
Even if your hands are shaking,
And your faith is broken.
Even as the eyes are closin',
Do it with a heart wide open.
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to, Say what you need to
Say what you need to say.
Every little past frustration.
Take all of your so called problems,

Say what you need to, Say what you need to
Say what you need to say.
Slow dancing in a burning room
It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love we've been working on
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms
We're going down
And you can see it too
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it's nothing to me
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw
I'll make the most of all the sadness
You'll be a bitch because you can
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand
We're going down
And you can see it too
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Go cry about it, why don't you?
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dying breath of

Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Is there anyone who
Ever remembers changing there mind from
The paint on a sign?
Is there anyone who really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time
Everyone believes
In how they think it ought to be
Everyone believes
And they're not going easily
Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching under water
You never can hit who you're trying for
Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried
It's the chemical weapon
For the war that's raging on inside
Everyone believes
From emptiness to everything
Everyone believes
And no ones going quietly
We're never gonna win the world
We're never gonna stop the war
We're never gonna beat this
If belief is what we're fighting for
What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand
Belief can
Belief can
What puts the folded flag inside his mother's hand
Belief can
Belief can
Ever remembers changing there mind from
The paint on a sign?

Speak, speak your mind
Your always telling me I need to open mine
And wait, wait your turn
Then shut me out cause you've got nothing left to learn
Oh, you say there's nothing wrong with being proud
So tell me what you love and say it loud
Now here's the dose that you've been dishing out
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
Oh, I'm wrong
I'm wrong again
But not because of where I stand but where I've been
And it burns
Oh, you know it burns like hell
To know there's nothing I can do but wish you well
You say there's nothing wrong with being proud
So tell me what you love and say it loud
I've been good enough to stay and hear you out
But you're wrong
You're never wrong
Oh, you say there's nothing wrong with being proud
Ya, so tell me what you love and say it loud
I've been giving you the benefit of the doubt
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
Your always telling me I need to open mine
And wait, wait your turn
Then shut me out cause you've got nothing left to learn
Oh, you say there's nothing wrong with being proud
So tell me what you love and say it loud
Now here's the dose that you've been dishing out
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
Oh, I'm wrong
I'm wrong again
But not because of where I stand but where I've been
And it burns
Oh, you know it burns like hell
To know there's nothing I can do but wish you well
You say there's nothing wrong with being proud
So tell me what you love and say it loud
I've been good enough to stay and hear you out
But you're wrong
You're never wrong
Oh, you say there's nothing wrong with being proud
Ya, so tell me what you love and say it loud
I've been giving you the benefit of the doubt
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
That's why we're waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now we keep on waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power

Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now we keep on waiting
waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Suppose I said
I am on my best behavior
there are times
I lose my worried mind
Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
Suppose I said
Colors change for no good reason
words will go
From poetry to prose
Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
And I, in time, will come around, come around
I always do for you
Suppose I said
You're my saving grace?
My grace
My self
My myself and I
When I'm someone else
When I'm someone else
When I'm someone else
When I'm not myself
Myself
Myself
I am on my best behavior
there are times
I lose my worried mind
Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?

Shadows (ny)
What's on your mind
I can see questions in your eyes
Are we running out of time
in this world of condusion
Have we lost what was real
What are we keeping alive
What we once had is lost with time
Together we must find a way
We're just shadows of the past
That we can't leave behind
We got to let go
of what we use to know
Nothing really matters
We can't look into eachothers eyes
We try to run but you can not hide
Have you lost control do you feel a pride
Behind those walls of silence
We're looking for answers
Where did it all go
What we once had is lost with time
Together we must find a way
We're just shadows of the past
That we can't leave behind
We got to let go
of what we use to know
What we once had is lost with time
Together we must find a way
We're just shadows of the past
That we can't leave behind
We got to let go
of what we use to know
We're just shadows of the past
That we can't leave behind
We're just shadows
I can see questions in your eyes
Are we running out of time
in this world of condusion
Have we lost what was real
What are we keeping alive
What we once had is lost with time
Together we must find a way
We're just shadows of the past
That we can't leave behind
We got to let go
of what we use to know
Nothing really matters
We can't look into eachothers eyes
We try to run but you can not hide
Have you lost control do you feel a pride
Behind those walls of silence
We're looking for answers
Where did it all go
What we once had is lost with time
Together we must find a way
We're just shadows of the past
That we can't leave behind
We got to let go
of what we use to know
What we once had is lost with time
Together we must find a way
We're just shadows of the past
That we can't leave behind
We got to let go
of what we use to know
We're just shadows of the past
That we can't leave behind
We're just shadows

If I don't say this now I will surely break
As I'm leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate
Oh, oh,
Be my baby
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
There now, steady love, so few come and don't go
Will you won't you, be the one I'll always know
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down
Oh, oh
Be my baby
Oh, oh
Be my Baby
I'll look after you
And I'll look after you
If ever there was a doubt
My love she leans into me
This most assuredly counts
She says most assuredly
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
After You
Oh, oh
Be my baby
It's always have and never hold
You've begun to feel like home
What's mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own
Oh, oh
Be my baby
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
You are so beautiful to me
As I'm leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate
Oh, oh,
Be my baby
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
There now, steady love, so few come and don't go
Will you won't you, be the one I'll always know
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down
Oh, oh
Be my baby
Oh, oh
Be my Baby
I'll look after you
And I'll look after you
If ever there was a doubt
My love she leans into me
This most assuredly counts
She says most assuredly
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
After You
Oh, oh
Be my baby
It's always have and never hold
You've begun to feel like home
What's mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own
Oh, oh
Be my baby
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
You are so beautiful to me
