Verse People, some say don’t notice, What life is all about, Prefer to block it out. Too set, with all their focus, on mainstream media, don’t care 'bout Syria. Rap They focus on themselves chasin' imaginary wealth, Shun their family, their friends and their good health. I'm not a sleepy profit, but I want to stop it. No need to ostracise just open up their eyes. Chorus When will they learn. that there’s more to life? Too stressed to discern, that their world’s in strife. It’s all about their image, money, watching the TV, Keeping masses ignorant, powerless, un-free. Verse (Rap) You go to university and work right up until you're 70, big debt! Don't get up so set. Good for the e-con-conomy not society, Be content 'cause we're the ninety ninety ninety nine percent. Verse People, some say don’t notice, what life is all about, prefer to block it out Too set, with all their focus, on mainstream media, don’t care about Syria. Chorus When will they learn. that there’s more to life? Too stressed to discern, that their world’s in strife. It’s all about their image, money, watching the TV, Keeping masses ignorant, powerless, un-free. Bridge When we go, materials remain. Leave your legacy, it won’t be left in vein. People endlessly get held back by their chain. Use your brain, don't refrain, ascertain, you're not insane!? Chorus When will they learn. that there’s more to life? Too stressed to discern, that their world’s in strife. It’s all about their image, money, watching the TV, Keeping masses ignorant, powerless, un-free.

Verse Unlock your mind and you will see, knowledge insight. Realise your strengths to understand, the path to go down is tailored for you. Understand limitations, don’t forget to push boundaries. Dream a dream don’t be nervous, walk the walk and you must take it. We can't ignore what's going wrong, suffering in our world. We can't undo what's come before, make the changes to right a past wrong. The fight will start with a saviour, rest assured and many will follow. Come together to change it, fight the fight, we'll achieve it. Bridge Look around, speak your mind, face your fears, don't cry!

Smile 05:36
Verse Everyday I’m wondering, what I did to deserve your smile. Not a day drifts by me now, where I don’t think it's all worthwhile. You’ve got me head over heels, can’t remember my name, Wasn't a day well I felt the same, Couldn't let you go when we met last night, I wasn't ever gonna let you out of my sight People come and go, but that’s life I'm sure you know Verse Every time I see your face, it reminds me of a better place. Never shy, you treat me nice, and it doesn’t matter what the price. You make me spin in a dream, never wanting to wake,  If it wasn’t for you I would always be late. You said you didn’t want to leave my side, Tears began to well I nearly fainted from pride. People rarely see a lost opportunity. PreChorus When you’re gone, I come undone,   I just don’t know what to do Forever young. Chorus I could never leave your side, You'll always be my guide, We'll never be untied. We’re together me and you, Nothing we can't do, Our hearts know it's true. Verse Yesterday you held me close, and asked if I'd stay in your life. From now on, we're makin' sure, there'll be no more pain no more strife. We'll make plans, travel the world, A secret paradise, you and your girl. Everything will fall into place, All I have to do is look at your face! People complicate, when they just need to liberate. PreChorus When you’re gone, I come undone,   I just don’t know what to do Forever young. Chorus I could never leave your side, You'll always be my guide, We'll never be untied. We’re together me and you, Nothing we can't do, Our hearts know it's true.

Verse When I call, you don’t get back to me, Another day, sno surprises there. I don’t care, what you do no more Who you see, it's all up to you. Now I'm gone, I don't care how you feel. Can't believe, you didn’t care at all. Go and waste, somebone else’s time. It's no game, I don't want to play! Chorus I can’t forget, I can't forget. I can’t forgive, I can't forgive. I will not rest, I will not rest. I will be strong, Strong! Verse Memories of how we used to be, Show me that, there was something there. I don't know, was it in my head? It's so hard to ever trust again! Now I'm free, nothing to hold me back. Time to dream, and never look behind. I just want a little happiness. Moving on, far away from you! Chorus I can’t forget, I can't forget. I can’t forgive, I can't forgive. I will not rest, I will not rest. I will be strong, Strong!

Everyday 04:49
Verse (guy) Everyday I wish her arms, wrapped around me. Everyday she passes by, her eyes don't see me. Where am I gonna get the charm, for when we first meet. When am I gonna be the guy, to sweep her off her feet. Chorus Everyday I got her on my mind, Only she can save me from this daily grind. She comes and goes her grace I cannot miss, Ooh it would be bliss to get a little kiss. Verse (gal) When he smiles back at me, my heart starts racing. When he asks me for my name, my hands start shaking. Every word will hold the key, to us embracing. With every twist in this cruel game, my head's always spinning. Chorus (both) Everyday I got her on my mind, Only you can same me from this daily grind. You got it all, there's nothing that you've missed, Ooh it would be bliss to get a little kiss. Everyday I got you on my mind, An angel sent, a gift I've been assigned. Not having you would make me fall apart, All I want to do is offer up my heart! Chorus Everyday I got her on my mind, Only you can same me from this daily grind. You got it all, there's nothing that you've missed, Ooh it would be bliss to get a little kiss. Everyday I got you on my mind, An angel sent, a gift I've been assigned. Not having you would make me fall apart, All I want to do is offer up my heart! Everyday I got her on my mind, Only you can same me from this daily grind. You got it all, there's nothing that you've missed, Ooh it would be bliss to get a little kiss. Everyday I got you on my mind, An angel sent, a gift I've been assigned. Not having you would make me fall apart, All I want to do is offer up my heart!

3 of You 04:35
Verse  I wake up in the morning and what do I find? You’re not laying next to me but I don’t mind. Something may have spooked you, what was it this time? Sometimes you’re too clingy, sometimes unrefined. You are like a treasure chest, but I have no key. Even with no map in hand, I crossed a high sea. No one ever told me, just what this could mean. You change with every outfit, with some unseen. Chorus What version is out today? How am I to know? Is it a game you play, that I can’t control? What are the rules? Why am I a fool? Why can’t I figure it out? Who can tell, when there’s the three of you? Verse You can always talk to me, I’ll make no judgement. Never will I spread the word, of your darker side. Together we can get through this, strongly hand in hand. To see the light of day again, together shinning strong. Chorus What version is out today? How am I to know? Is it a game you play, that I can’t control? What are the rules? Why am I a fool? Why can’t I figure it out? Who can tell, when there’s the three of you? Bridge Can I handle this?

Just Do It! 05:43
Verse You've started something new, it don't come easily, Just don't throw the towel prematurely. You think you want to quit, cause things are getting rough, Working through a problem sometimes ain't enough. Got to change, adopt a new frame of mind, Jump the chance so you don’t get left behind. You’ve got to own your time, become your manager, No ones lost their shit over an amateur. Just realise, that there's no compromise, And don't forget it really pays to advertise. Keep your eye on where you want to be, Your confidence will be the major key. Chorus Don’t let anything ever hold you back! Always be positive, cut yourself some slack. Don't run with the pack, don't run with the pack. Just do it! Just do it! Just do it! Do it! Solos Chorus Don’t let anything ever hold you back! Always be positive, cut yourself some slack. Don't run with the pack, don't run with the pack. Just do it! Just do it! Just do it! Do it! Verse You’ve got to where you want, but there's no time to rest, Even though it's better it still ain't the best, I thing back to the start, it makes me want to laugh, They put me down, but now they want my autograph. It's good to know, that nothing stays the same. If it does, you've only got yourself to blame. Just do it, just do it, just do it.

Realisation 04:37
Verse You came you saw, what they did to me. They will not rest, or let me be. They ruled me guilty, in the 3rd degree. Why can’t I be free. So many people walk the fine line of chance, Balance on the edge of a bad romance. Sometimes the innocent charged with a crime Will wake up in prison, serving their time. Verse I have no power, in this court of law, Nobody cares for me that's for sure, All tangled in a web of lies, Integrity is no alibi. So many people walk a fine line of chance, Right time, right place, wrong circumstance. Taking a risk, no one would dare, Leeds to a room full of empty stares. Chorus When will they realise, that they have got it wrong? How can I survive, how can I be strong? I can’t get over this, the injustice, it has gone amiss, but I resist. It is you I miss, I cannot kiss, I can only reminise of bliss. It is all the same, I feel the drain of a world insane and full of games. I can't stand the same, I must remain, if I only overcame the pain. Verse A new outlook, really changed my life, I had to get into strife, All the lost years of monotony, I've had my prophecy. I am no number, just falsley accused. Lost in the system, dazed and confused. Five percent deemed innocent no way to be saved! Is there a way to escape unscathed? Chorus When will they realise, that they have got it wrong? How can I survive, how can I be strong? I can’t get over this, the injustice, it has gone amiss, but I resist. It is you I miss, I cannot kiss, I can only reminise of bliss. It is all the same, I feel the drain of a world insane and full of games. I can't stand the same, I must remain, if I only overcame the pain. Bridge Can't change the past, Good things don't last, All happens too fast. Chorus When will they realise, that they have got it wrong? How can I survive, how can I be strong? I can’t get over this, the injustice, it has gone amiss, but I resist. It is you I miss, I cannot kiss, I can only reminise of bliss. It is all the same, I feel the drain of a world insane and full of games. I can't stand the same, I must remain, if I only overcame the pain.

Travel Bug 03:49
Verse Imagine a world all rain and no sunshine, Where there's no song or joy and everyone's resigned. You have to see it now in all it's majesty, Before it gets destroyed, by greed we can't avoid. Imagine a world where we lived a simple life, A world where harmony and love can conquer strife. We'd all play a part to help society, No cause to get annoyed; just simply overjoyed. Chorus Don't know when I'm home again, Won't be for long, and I'll be gone. Not sure when these journeys end, but I promise you I'll come home. Verse So many cultures have developed over time, Amazing people with an inner peace sublime. Always there to offer you a helping hand, For nothing in return; a lesson we should learn. Chorus Don't know when I'm home again, Won't be for long, and I'll be gone. Not sure when this thirst will end, but I promise you I'll come home. Bridge I’ve not come far, but I’ll venture wide, to seek out gems I wish to find. That’s what it’s all about, come on and check it out, through times high and low, you’re sure to grow. Verse Exotic flavours are not ever far away, Breathe the air and let yourself be led astray. Open up your eyes and open up your mind, Because you never know what wonders you may find. Ooooh.
