This crazy world, never staying still
It’s so easy
To be lot in the tide
To lose yourself
And where your path lies

People tugging and pushing
Telling you what to be
Drowning you in false pretences
Until you want to scream
Just to show you’re alive

But hey! Just remember
To hold onto yourself
‘Cos when you know who you are
You can turn this word around

So hey! When you stare up at the sky
Clinging onto your hopes and dreams
And you’re wondering why
Just remember, remember who you are.

When it all gets too confusing
And you’re wondering, what now?
Just follow your heart
Hold onto your hopes
And remember, remember who you are

Your destiny calls you
But remember one thing
The choices are your own
No - one else can take the wheel
So remember, remember who you are.

But hey! Just remember
To hold onto yourself
‘Cos when you know who you are
You can turn this word around

So hey! When you stare up at the sky
Clinging onto your hopes and dreams
And you’re wondering why
Just remember, remember who you are.

Written in Stone

My life is mine
It’s the one thing that I know
The only constant
In my world

In my mind
I'm in charge
I have a choice
I have a voice

But then I wake to find…

It’s written in stone
An’ I should have known
That my life
Wouldn’t stay my own
Written in stone.

I have no choice
I have no voice
I’m written in stone

My life is just a play
An act, a stage, a fake.
A fairytale with no relief
No prince to sweep me off my feet.

I sometimes think
That maybe I can change it
Maybe I can
Make my own choice

But then I wake to find…

Its written in stone
And I should have known
That my life
Wouldn’t stay my own
Written in stone

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go the mirror and look at yourelf
And see what the man has to say.

For it isn't your father or mother or wife
Whose judgement upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.

You may be like Jack Warner and Chiseller Plum
And thin your a wonderful guy
But the man in the glass says your only a bum
If you cant look him straight in the eye.

He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest
For he's with you clear till the end
And you've passed the most difficult test
When the man in the glass is your friend

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your only reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.

I can remember
When I was just a child
How everything seemed safe and warm
I thought it would always be the same

But now I'm so much older
And the world feels that much colder
Looking back, I wonder now
Where did things go wrong?

This is my waking nightmare
Playing out before my tear filled eyes
I scream inside, for this to stop
But I cant seem to make a sound
This is my waking nightmare
I can't take it anymore

The moment I hear your voices rise
I'm running, running out the door
But I wonder sometimes
If you even see I'm gone

I wish that I could run forever
Back to where we used to be
Back to that golden dream
Of a happy family

This is my waking nightmare
Playing out before my tear filled eyes
I scream inside, for this to stop
But I can't seem to make a sound
This is my waking nightmare
I can't take it anymore

There's a cross on the side of the road
Where a mother lost a son
How could she know that the morning he left
Would be The last time she'd trade with him for a little more time?
So she could say she loved him one last time
And hold him tight
But with life we never know
When we're coming up to the end of the road
So what do we do then
With tragedy around the bend?

We live we love
We forgive and never give up
Cause the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

We live we love
We forgive and never give up
Cause the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

There's a man who waits for the tests
To see if the cancer has spread yet
And now he asks, "So why did I wait to live till it was time to die?"
If I could have the time back how I'd live
Life is such a gift
So how does the story end?
Well this is your story and it all depends
So don't let it become true
Get out and do what we were meant to do

We live we love
We forgive and never give up
Cause the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

We live we love
We forgive and never give up
Cause the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

Waking up to another dark morning
People are mourning
The weather in life outside is storming
But what would it take for the clouds to break
For us to realize each day is a gift somehow, someway?
So get our heads up out of the darkness
And spark this new mindset and start to live life cause it ain't gone yet
And tragedy is a reminder to take off the blinders
And wake up and live the life we're supposed to take up
Moving forward with all the hands up cause life is worth living

We live we love
We forgive and never give up
Cause the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

We live we love
We forgive and never give up
Cause the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

(Fade with:)
We live we love
We forgive and never give up
Cause the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

We live we love
We forgive and never give up
Cause the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

No one sits with him, he doesn’t fit in,
But we feel like we do when we make fun of him,
'Cause you want to belong, do you go along?
'Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong
It’s not like you hate him or want him to die,
But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide,
Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side,
Any kindness from you might have saved his life...

TAG: Heroes are made when you make a choice...
CHORUS:
You could be a hero,
Heroes do what’s right,
You could be a hero,
You might save a life,
You could be a hero, you could join the fight,
For what’s right, for what’s right, for what’s right...

No one talks to her, she feels so alone,
She’s in too much pain to survive on her own,
The hurt she can’t handle overflows to a knife,
She writes on her arm, wants to give up her life,
Each day she goes on is a day that she’s brave,
Fighting the lie that giving up is the way,
Each moment of courage her own life she saves,
When she throws the pills out a hero is made...

TAG/CHORUS

No one talks to him about how he lives,
He thinks that the choices he makes are just his,
Doesn’t know he’s a leader with the way he behaves,
And others will follow the choices he’s made,
He lives on the edge, he’s old enough to decide,
His brother who wants to be him is just nine,
He can do what he wants because it’s his right,
The choices he makes change a nine-year-old's life...

TAG/CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Little Mikey D was the one in class
Who every day got brutally harassed,
This went on for years until he decided
That never again would he shed another tear,
So he walked through the door,
Grabbed the .44 out of his father’s dresser drawer,
And said, "I can’t take life no more!"
And like that, life can be lost,
But this ain’t even about that,
All of us just sat back and watched it happen,
Thinkin', "It’s not my responsibility
To solve a problem that isn’t even about me,"
This is our problem,
This is just one of them daily scenarios
In which we choose to close our eyes,
Instead of doing the right thing,
If we make a choice
To be the voice
For those who won’t speak up for themselves,
How many lives would be saved, changed, rearranged?
Now it’s our time to pick a side,
So don’t keep walking by, not wanting to intervene,
'Cause you just wanna exist and never be seen,
So let’s wake up,
Change the world,
Our time is now...

You could be a hero - (Our time is now) heroes do what’s right
You could be a hero - (Our time is now) you might save a life
You could be a hero - (Our time is now) you could join the fight
For what’s right, for what’s ri-ight...

Words are strange things.
Making me question everything
To some, a collection of sounds
Or markings on a page.
Powerless, meaningless
No depth or soul to call their own

But this writer knows more

These words that grasp my heart
Take control of my mind
People say writers are shallow
I know better
It’s hard sometimes to tell
Where stories end and life begins

Yeah, this writer knows more

Words can wound
Words can harm
Words can even kill
Words can bring emotion
Words can heal
Words can dry tears
Words can give hope

This writer knows more

People think I’m strange
When I slip into my own world
But if I stare at this blank page
So many things fill my head
Places and people, songs and tales
An escape from this cold hard life

But this writer knows more

I sink deeper into the whirlwind
Fragments of stories flash past
Tales begging to be noticed
Some that are forgotten
Some that must be finished
Some that haven’t even begun

Yeah, this writer knows more

Words can wound
Words can harm
Words can even kill
Words can bring emotion
Words can heal
Words can dry tears
Words can bring hope

This writer knows more

To weave the words, is a burden and a joy
One some must assume
Because without words, we would have no way to show
Our love, our fears, our hopes
Words are stronger than we know
To write a tale, you assume responsibility
For who knows what you may begin?

A wise man said to me one day
That in a place few people know
There lies a book that holds it all
And is written as we go

This book is bound in seconds
And the words are wrote in hope
The pages made from gentle tears
And the title word is TIME

Everything that comes to pass
Is the spinning of this tale
The tearful sorrows of the past
And the hope of a new future

Each of us has a part to play
And each must come and go
Strolling players, ‘cross the stage of years
It’s your choice who you are

A fighter, perhaps, a righter of wrongs.
You could be a healer, gentle and calm
Or you might be a leader, steady and strong
Mayhap a Mother, safe haven for all

One day, when I’m old and grey
And my part in this tale is done
I’ll find the book named TIME
And see all that has gone

For this is the tale called LIFE
And it belongs to us all.

Get up, Get up, Get up

I get up and smile strongly
And continue with my life
I’m not afraid to hear ‘I told you so’
I’m not afraid to fall

Get up, Get up, Get on your feet
You’re not finished yet
So you fell, and think you failed
But you fail when you forget to try

I’m not afraid to fall
The thing that scares me most
Is to stay down and never stand again
If I get up, I might fall again
But I can’t stay here forever
I will spread these wings of mine

So with one brave smile
I can bring myself to my feet
You fall, you don’t fail
You don’t fail till you give in

If I get up I might fall back again
But I get up anyway
No-one can make that choice for me
So let’s get up, come on

The more you fall, the stronger you become
Determination keeps you going
So bring yourself to your feet
And get up, get up no matter what

I’m not afraid to fall
The thing that scares me most
Is to stay down and never stand again
If I get up, I might fall again
But I can’t stay here forever
I will spread these wings of mine

Get up, Get up, Get up

The year is 2087. The world as we know it no longer exists. In 2034, there was great a catastrophe that changed the face of the planet. An explosion spread chemicals across the earth, even changing the genetic makeup of some humans.
What was once beautiful is now a barren wasteland, ruled over by a tyrannical government, spearheaded by the mysterious Chairman.
The new world is a dangerous place, your birth family makes all the difference. Step out of line, and you’ll be executed. No trial, no appeal. In the outer circles of the cities, gangs skulk in the shadows, just trying to survive.

In the city of New Hull a fifteen year old girl is leading a double life.
In one, she is Katin Retaie, Governors daughter, rarely seen and seldom heard, resident of the Innermost Circle.
In the other she is Wraith, a mutant wolf girl, responsible for the deaths of many government operatives.
Few people know about the mutants.
Fewer know about the magic.
Even less know about the prophecy.

I seek my sleep and peace of mind in vain
The tears i have shed are dried and gone
Insignificant in the face
Of this lonely dawn

The burning orb rises gently through the sky
The stars and moon vanish in sadness
Unable to cry at the sight
Of hopes and dreams destroyed

I gaze at my reflection in the shimmering water
And cast my hopes to the sky
Praying they will be heard
And praying I may find a way

Always alone, maybe thats how it's meant to be
Never quite belonging here with you my friends
Walking alone in a crowded square
And keeping my tears hidden inside

I lift my face to the suns gentle rays
As they remind me to always keep moving
Silent voices, softly telling me I'm loved
Bringing hope back again

I stand alone on the mountain top, watching
The sun rise in this lonely dawn
A small smile appears on my lips
As i know I will always be loved
Even when I am alone

My feelings have only got stronger
As I hope for a new beginning
And a chance to reach my dream
These feelings will nevere change
Running towards a new future

Hold me tight
And be my warmth
My safe place for when all goes wrong
I love you
That will never change
No matter what alse may go wrong
You will always be my first love

Who can say where our roads go
Or whever we will meet again
But you will always be
A smiling face in my heart
A gentle memory of love

Hold me tight
I think every night of you
And surely one day
I'll know you have acheieved your dream
I miss you
But I'll remember you fondly
as the years go by

If this world will never change
If we have only hope
I will still love you

Hold me tight
My heart it lingers with you
The feeling of love
Is one everyone will find
I love you
I always will
My gentle heart will always watch over you

Hold me tight

I love you

I will always remember
The way you loved me
The stories we told
And the way we laughed togather

Now as we strive
To reach our dreams
Searching to spread our wings
I will never forget our love
As we search for our new future

Lets go on
Day by day
Holding our hopes and dreams
Lets go on
Trying harder and harder
To reach our dreams
And find our place in life

I remember looking at the stars
And wondering where I fitted in
But know I know just to be myself
And to never give in

So I will keep on climbing
However hard the going gets
I will never give up
Its the hope of a new future

Lets go on
Day by day
Holding our hopes and dreams
Lets go on
Trying harder and harder
To reach our dreams
And find our place in life

I will always remember
Your gentle words
Setting me on this path
And giving me the strength I need
To beleive

Let's go together
Hand in hand along the road of life
If you fall I will be there to cath you
And we will reach together
For the sparkling dream
Of a new future

You will always be here
Right here in my heart
As we search for all we can be

(slow)

In this world,
everything can change
In a moment
nothing will ever be the same
(quick)
Can you feel it
Can you feel the wind of change?
Spinning you in dizzying circles
Whispering in your ear

Can you take it?
Can you be strong?
When the whole world has changed,
when nothing will ever be the same?

I will step out
With a smile upon my face
Tears may fall, but I will never break
So take my hand and dance with me
Forget your fears and fly free!

Run with me along this open road
dancing as hard as we can
smiling and crying and loving one another
when the whole world becomes an open page
so follow me
on this road of change!

(slowly)
Many nights I've gazed up
At the shining stars above
I remember wondering, where
I fittted in
But now the world has changed, and
I've become strong, with you my friends,
Thankyou.

(quick)
Can you take it?
Can you be strong?
When the whole world has changed,
when nothing will ever be the same?
I will step out
With a smile upon my face
Tears may fall, but I will never break
So take my hand and dance with me
Forget your fears and fly free!

Run with me along this open road
dancing as hard as we can
smiling and crying and loving one another
when the whole world becomes an open page
so follow me
on this road of change!

The stars will cry
Silver raining tears
On these blackened ruins
of our home

We lost things
that can never be replaced
But we gained
so much more

'The will of fire'
Burns within us still
And shall never
be quenched

While we remember the important things
loving and crying
laughing and sighing
hand in hand all the way

mmm -mmm

don't hide your clenched fist
let the stars tears wash
your smoke stained skin
and lift your head and smile

In weakness and sorrow
we have found new strength
And now for tommorow
Move to tommorow
