Sacrifice

Sometimes you need to make a sacrifice
to get what you desire most in life.
Your biggest mountain to climb
will appear one day in your lifetime-
Will you be ready to conquer it?
Or will you give up the challenge and call it a quits?
In this life the people who embrace this challenge adamantly
are the ones who will strive and go on to achieve
any goal the individual wants and desires
and even if they don't at least they aspired to achieve.
And am I wrong?
But this is what I admire-
the person who submerses their self in the fire
who isn't afraid to be called weak
cause it's our weaknesses that drive us to seek a positive change.
Sometimes you need to make a sacrifice
to get what you desire most in life.
When it's the end of the road and you're about to die-
will you want to turn back time and change what's behind?
If you do then there's a problem with the life you're living
you need to find out whats wrong-outside or within.
You'll be faced with new challenges everyday
and these obstacles and challenges will block your way
and sometimes you may need to make a sacrifice
to achieve your goals and stay on track with your life.
Sometimes you need to make a sacrifice
to get what you desire most in life.

Melody

And I say-
What a beautiful day!
To write this song
yeah it pours out my heart
makes me feel so damn strong
And I say-
What a beautiful day!
To sing this song
If it moves you sing along
When the music fills my body it makes me feel so strong
Makes me feel so strong like I finally belong in this world
And so sensually, the melody wraps her fingers tight around me
And so promiscuously, she dances with me, and lifts me right off of my feet
Now I'm under her spell
and I can't tell-
if this is real life or just make believe.
And under her spell
I feel so impelled
to let the music flow right out of me.
And I say-
What a beautiful day!
To write this song
yeah it pours out my heart
makes me feel so damn strong
And I say-
What a beautiful day!
To sing this song
If it moves you sing along
When the music fills my mind I lose track of time
I lose track of time and I leave behind this world.
And so swiftly, the melody lifts me up to that higher place
And so swiftly, she takes me, she takes me without a trace
Now I'm under her spell
and I can't tell-
if this is real life or just make believe.
And under her spell
I feel so impelled
to let the music flow right out of me.
And I say-
What a beautiful day!
To write this song
yeah it pours out my heart
makes me feel so damn strong
And I say-
What a beautiful day!
To sing this song
If it moves you sing along

Love Song

How I long to see your beautiful face again,
This time I'll make it last forever, this time it will never end.
I've been so damn lonely in this town without you
If I could have it my way I would never let you go.
I always miss you when you're gone-
So I wrote you this love song
(And it goes like...)
Baby when I'm with you-
My heart races faster, you know it is true.
Baby when I'm with you
I don't know what to do, cause I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you.
Outside under the moonlight I take your hand
I never felt so right in my life like I felt then.
We lay under the stars and dream of what our life could be.
We walk hand in hand together towards the sea.
I always miss you when you're gone-
So I wrote you this love song
(And it goes like...)
Baby when I'm with you-
My heart races faster, you know it is true.
Baby when I'm with you
I don't know what to do, cause I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you.

Overcome

When the world weighs down on you and tries to take you for its fool-
spread the love; it's the only thing to do.
Cause in this life you'll find what you put in will come back in time
So that love will make it back to you.
Look out your window-
what do you see?
Millions of people consumed by greed?
But is it really suprising?
Cause everyone acts in the interest of me
and these actions make us believe we're free
but it blinds us from true reality.
It blinds us from what we really need-
a sense of unity, we not me
If we make this change we will be
so much better off you'll see
When the world weighs down on you and tries to take you for its fool-
spread the love; it's the only thing to do.
Cause in this life you'll find what you put in will come back in time
So that love will make it back to you.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
you come face to face with your problem,
there's no backing down this time.
I really didn't want it to happen this way
but there's not much you can do
when it's standing in your way
and it's there to stay until you overcome one day.
We need to recognize that it's a positive thing
and look at all the benefits that it can bring-
(Look beyond the surface of what you see-
realize we're all just human beings)
So stop looking for answers from above
You will find the answers by spreading around love.
It blinds us from what we really need-
a sense of unity, we not me
If we make this change we will be
so much better off you'll see
When the world weighs down on you and tries to take you for its fool-
spread the love; it's the only thing to do.
Cause in this life you'll find what you put in will come back in time
So that love will make it back to you.
It'll make it back to you, when your time is due.

Illusions
03:05

(Why is it so tough?)
To realize what you really need
(When enough is enough)
Will you give up on your one dream?
Well it's so hard to commit your intentions to just one thing in your life
but life is harder when you have no light to follow.
So you walk blindly into the night-
the further you get the more lost you are.
Or so it seems to be to me-
How can I escape this reality?
All your intentions and efforts and work that you've done-
add it all up and you get none in return
but why you can't discern
For you to be free you need to truly see-
finding meaning is illusionary.
For you to be free you need to truly see.
Wake up and realize there is no meaning.
As your path continues you come to a stop
and off his white horse the cloaked figure drops.
Your impending doom spawns a thought upon you-
This quest in life in which you've been trying to achieve
will never lead to anything.
Embrace the absurdity and you will see-
For you to be free you need to truly see-
finding meaning is illusionary.
For you to be free you need to truly see.
Wake up and realize there is no meaning.
But the search for your gold is worth more than all the treasures in this world.
For you to be free you need to truly see-
finding meaning is illusionary.
For you to be free you need to truly see.
Wake up and realize there is no meaning.
