I saw you out the other night Girl you were looking so fine I knew that something wasn’t right He was just holdin on way to tight The sorrow beneath your eyes Pushing out I could tell you wanted to cry Lies, cheatin, bleeding, I’m hurt inside Bruised by betrayal Don’t do me like that Don’t do me like that Don’t do me like that, no The sun set before I cried Your beauty I lost, it swelled my eye’s My hearts been tossed, thrown aside My loves departed, gone for a ride It’s just so hard to imagine you Hangin with another guy Those poppers wont take away my blues I still feel so used Don’t do me like that Don’t do me like that Don’t do me like that, no Cuz of You I’m gaspin for air Burnt and blue, boarded beware Don’t you know loves not for sale Just roll the dice, dealers derailed Think you can just come back now Can’t do me like that no way, no how I couldn’t keep waitin around Time moves on your feelins drown Don’t do me like that Don’t do me like that Don’t do me like that, no

Yes you are my world Every day I awake You’re by my side holdin' on To this love from above Like an angel coming down from above It takes two to get this right Hear I stand so take my hand Come with me bold and free Today’s the day we’ll fly away Like an angel coming down from above Complete me Like an angel coming down from above Smokin hot I’ve been caught By your beauty and your thought Your caramel cream’s my nightfall dreams Come and play, you know the way Like an angel coming down from above You’re like an angel comin’ down from above

Where’d these thoughts come from here in my head? When did believin’ no longer belong? Inundated mind games overcome me so strong Overcome me so strong Where are we goin’ where have we been? Where did we come from whose bread this greed? Windy horizon seen through the steam There’s only pleasure and pain There’s no really knowing right from wrong Cuz one’s sanity is another persons going insane Doubt clouded cries fade away Where’d all these come from in my head? Thoughts I sometimes surely dread Though I know I've got to let it go It's just so hard not to know just... Where we are To many thoughts flowin' round in our heads Facing us backwards with no chance for change Drop kicked stationary nowhere’s burnin' the brain There’s only pleasure and pain There’s no really knowing right from wrong Cuz One’s sanity is another persons going insane Doubt clouded cries fade away Doubt clouded cries flooded and stained Where’d all these come from in my head? Thoughts I sometimes surely dread Though I know I've got to let it go It's just so hard not to know just where... Doubt clouded cries fade away Oh won’t you fade away Where’d all these come from in my head? Thoughts I sometimes surely dread Though I know I've got to let it go It's just so hard not to know just... Where we are

Fly Away 04:00
I want to fly away I don’t like it here Been on a long, long trip, my heart beat it skipped But I will not die today cuz I will not stay I want to fly away I want to fly away I want to fly away Fly away I will not cry that day But I will be sad to leave, leave, leave Bet on a lass I did now my hearts gone and ripped I know it’s right anyway I cannot stay I want to fly away I want to fly away I want to fly away Fly away I can’t lie, betray So please don’t ask why I wave good-bye It’s time to take back my grip my roots are stripped It feels so good to say I’m on my way home I want to fly away I want to fly away I want to fly away Fly away
6.
Step by step we’re on our way Step by step we’re on our way toward a new day Do not fret all the small things Do not let go of all your hopes and dreams We will overcome We can all be one We will overcome Together Step by step me and all my friends are takin’ a stand Step by step we know that we can We’re rising above, believing in new sights We’re rising for love, standing together to make this right We will overcome We can all be one We will overcome Together Sometimes we all face trouble Sometimes there’s no avoiding struggle In dark nights we have the light of the moon To guiding us into the dawn of a new day We will overcome We can all be one We will overcome Together
