Am I Wrong?

Nico & Vinz

Am I wrong

For thinking out the box from where I stay?

Am I wrong

For saying that I choose another way?

I ain't trying to do what everybody else doin'

Just 'cause everybody doin' what they all do

If one thing I know, I'll fall but I'll grow

I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home

So am I wrong?

For thinking that we could be something for real?

Now am I wrong?

For trying to reach the things that I can't see?

But that's just how I feel,

Trying to reach the things that I can't see

Am I tripping

For having a vision?

My prediction

I'm a be on the top of the world

Walk your walk and don't look back,

Always do what you decide

Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel

Fight for yours and don't let go,

Don't let them compare you, no

Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how we feel

Am I wrong?

For thinking that we could be something for real?

Now am I wrong?

For trying to reach the things that I can't see?

That's just how I feel,

But that's just how I feel

That's just how I feel

Trying to reach the things that I can't see

Brave

Sarah Bareilles

You can be amazing

You can turn a phrase into a weapon

You can be the outcast

Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love

Or you can start speaking up

Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do

When they settle 'neath your skin

Kept on the inside and no sunlight

Sometimes the shadow wins

But I wonder what would happen if you

Say what you wanna say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say



Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down by the enemy

Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing

Bow down to the mighty

Don't run, stop holding your tongue

Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live

Maybe one of these days you can let the light in

Show me how big your brave is




And since your history of silence

Won't do you any good

Did you think it would?

Let your words be anything but empty

Why don't you tell them the truth?




I want to see you be brave

4

Break Free

Ariana Grande

If you want it, take it

I should've said it before

Tried to hide it, fake it

I can't pretend anymore

I only want to die alive

Never by the hands of a broken heart

Don't wanna hear you lie tonight

Now that I've become who I really am

This is the part when I say I don't want ya'

I'm stronger than I've been before

This is the part when I break free

Cuz I can't resist it no more

Can’t Hold Us

Macklemore

Can we go back, this is the moment

Tonight is the night, we'll fight till its over

So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us

Raise those hands, this is our party

We came here to live life like nobody was watching

Can we go back, this is the moment

Tonight is the night, we'll fight till its over

So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us

Raise those hands, this is our party

We came here to live life like nobody was watching

5

Feelin’ Alright

Joe Cocker

Seems I've got to have a change of scene

Every night I have the strangest dreams

Imprisoned by the way it could have been

Left here on my own or so it seems

I've got to leave before I start to scream

But someone locked the door and took the key

You feelin' alright?

I'm not feelin' too good myself

Yes sir, you feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' that good myself

You sure took me for one big ride

And even now I sit and I wonder why

That when I think of you I start myself to cry

I just can't waste my time, I must keep dry

Gotta stop believing in all your lies

'Cause there's too much to do before I die



Oh no, you feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' too good

You feelin' alright

Don't you get too lost in all I say

By the time, you know, I really felt that way,

But that was then and now, you know it's today

I can't get off so I guess I'm here to stay

'Til someone comes along and take my place

With a different name and a different face



You feelin' alright

For Good

Stephen Schwartz

I've heard it said

That people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are led

To those who help us most to grow

If we let them

And we help them in return

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you

It well may be

That we will never meet again

In this lifetime

So let me say before we part

So much of me

Is made of what I learned from you

You'll be with me

Like a handprint on my heart

And now whatever way our stories end

I know you have re-written mine

By being my friend:

Because I knew you,

I have been changed for good

7

Hall of Fame

The Script

Yeah, you can be the greatest

You can be the best

You can be the King Kong banging on your chest

You can beat the world

You can beat the war

You can throw your hands up

You can beat the clock

You can move a mountain

You can break rocks

You can be a master

Don't wait for luck

Dedicate yourself and you gon' find yourself

Standing in the hall of fame

And the world's gonna know your name

'Cause you burn with the brightest flame

And the world's gonna know your name

And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

Do it for your people

Do it for your pride

How are you ever gonna know if you never even try?

Be students

Be teachers

Be politicians

Be preachers

Be believers

Be leaders

Be astronauts

Be champions

Be truth seekers

Hold My Hand

Michael Jackson feat Akon

This life don't last forever

So tell me what we're waiting for

We're better off being together

Than being miserable alone

'Cause I've been there before

And you've been there before

But together we can be all right

'Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold

We hold each other 'til we see the sun light

Things will go better if you just hold my hand

Nothing can come between us if you just

Hold my hand

The nights are getting darker

And there's no peace inside

I can tell that you're tired of being lonely

Take my hand, don't let go

Hold my hand

I Knew You Were Trouble

Taylor Swift

When he's next to me

I realize the blame is on me

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now, flew me to places I'd never been

Till you put me down

Oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now, flew me to places I'd never been

Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

No apologies, he'll never see you cry

Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why

You're drowning

A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be

And now I see

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

9

I Won’t Give Up

Jason Mraz

When I look into your eyes

It's like watching the night sky

I see that you've come so far

To be right where you are

How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space

to do some navigating

I'll be here patiently waiting

To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn

Some even fall to the earth

We've got a lot to learn

I won’t give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily

I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make

Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts

We got a lot at stake

We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in

I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not

And who I am

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm still looking up

Still looking up

10

Keep Your Eyes Open

NeedToBreathe

If you could soldier on

Headstrong into the storm

I'll be here waiting on the other side

Don't look back

The road is long

The first days of the war are gone

Take back your former throne and turn the tide

Cause if you never leave home, never let go

You'll never make it to the great unknown

Keep your eyes open

So tell me you're strong, tell me you see

I need to hear it, can you promise me

Keep your eyes open

Just past the circumstance

The first light, a second chance

Tear down the prison walls

Don't start the curtain call

Cause if you never leave home, never let go

You'll never make it to the great unknown till you

Keep your eyes open

So show me your fire, show me your heart

You know I'll never let you fall apart if you

Keep your eyes open

Open up your eyes

The weight is unbroken

Open up

Keep your eyes open

Don't let the night become the day

Don't take the darkness to the grave

I know pain is just a place

The will has been broken

Don't let the fear become the hate

Don't take the sadness to the grave

I know the fight is on the way

When the sides have been chosen

Open up your eyes

Keep your eyes open

11

Down Under

By: Men at Work

“I come from a land down under

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?

You better run, you better take cover.”

Live Like We’re Dying

Kris Allen

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up

We're hiding behind skin that's too tough

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come

And we could make a feast from these crumbs

Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'

If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say


And if your plane fell out of the skies

Who would you call with your last goodbye?

Should be so careful who we left out of our lives

And when we long for absolution, there will be no one on the line

Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'

If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'


We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying, oh, like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

12

Make Me Better

Fabolous

I'm a movement by myself

But I'm a force when we're together

I'm good all by myself

But you, you make me better

You plus me, it equals better math

First thing's first, I do what I do

But everything I am, he's my improve

I'm already bossin', I'm already fly

But if I'm a star, he is the sky

Dynamic duo, Batman and Robin

Whoever don't like it, it's that man's problem

I'm a movement by myself

But I'm a force when we're together

I'm good all by myself

But you, you make me better

Next To Me

Emeli Sande

When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished

And I can't seem to find no help

I know there's no need for me to panic

'Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me

When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing

And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe

When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling

I will find him, I'll find him next to me

I will find him, I'll find him next to me

When the end has come and buildings falling down fast

When we spoilt the land and dried up all the sea

When everyone has lost their heads around us

You will find him, you'll find him next to me

13

On Top of the World

Imagine Dragons

If you love somebody

Better tell them while they're here because

They just may run away from you

You'll never know quite went well

Then again it just depends on

How long of time is left for you

I've had the highest mountains

I've had the deepest rivers

You can have it all but life keeps moving

I take it in but don't look down

'Cause I'm on top of the world, eh

I'm on top of the world, eh

Been waiting on this for a while now

Paying my dues to the dirt

I've been waiting to smile, eh

Been holding it in for a while, eh

Take you with me if I can

Been dreaming of this since a child

I'm on top of the world.

I've tried to cut these corners

Try to take the easy way out

I kept on falling short of something

I coulda gave up then but

Then again I couldn't have cause

I've traveled all this way for something

And I know it's hard when you're falling down

And it's a long way up when you hit the ground

Get up now,

Get up,

Get up now.

'Cause I'm on top of the world, eh

I'm on top of the world, eh

14

Pompeii

Bastille

I was left to my own devices

Many days fell away with nothing to show

The walls kept tumbling down

In the city that we love

Great clouds roll over the hills

Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,

Does it almost feel like

Nothing changed at all?

And if you close your eyes,


You've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

We were caught up and lost in all of our vices

In your pose as the dust settles around us

Oh where do we begin?

The rubble or our sins?

And the walls kept tumbling down

In the city that we love

Rain clouds roll over the hills

Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,


Nothing changed at all?

And if you close your eyes,


You've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

15

Roar

Katy Perry

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

So I sat quietly, agreed politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me past the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, your hear that sound

Like thunder, gonna shake the ground


Get ready 'cause I had enough

I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

Dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!

Now I'm floating like a butterfly

Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes

I went from zero, to my own hero


Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, your hear that sound

Like thunder, gonna shake the ground


Get ready 'cause I've had enough

I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

Dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!

16

The Man

Aloe Blacc

You can tell everybody

Yeah you can tell everybody

Go ahead and tell everybody

I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man

Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am


I believe every lie that I ever told

Paid for every heart that I ever stole

I paid my cause and I didn't fold

Well it ain't that hard when you got soul

This is my world

Somewhere I heard that life is a test

I been though the worst but still I give my best

God made my mold different from the rest

Then he broke that mold so I know I'm blessed

This is my world

Stand up now and face the sun

Won't hide my tail or turn and run

It's time to do what must be done

Be a king when kingdom comes





I got all the answers to your questions

I'll be the teacher you could be the lesson

I'll be the quick relief to all your stressing

No surrender and I won't retreat





17

The Mighty

Sting

Walking this high road are warriors from an olden time

Curse on this land and the days far behind us

Dragons we've slain, rescued many maiden's fair

And no man ever dared break our stride

Or the brotherhood that binds us.

Brothers are we, marching on the roads of time

From this broken land and the days that defined us

All men are free, justice is a sword we hold

Trusting in the knights noble vow

In the brotherhood that binds us.

When the broken are strong

When the beaten are proud

When the twisted can stand

When the silenced can laugh

When the hunted have turned

When the tortured are sane

When the blinded still stare

When the poisoned remain

When the voiceless can sing

And the shackled can run

And this downtrodden man holds his face to the sun

We'll be walking high above the world.

Our legend will say

Freak the Mighty, Freak the Mighty, Freak the Mighty

Sound Of Da Police

KRS One

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast



Yes, indeed





Yes, indeed

Wake Me Up

Avicii feat. Aloe Blacc

Feeling my way through the darkness

Guided by a beating heart

I can't tell where the journey will end

But I know where it starts

They tell me I'm too young to understand

They say I'm caught up in a dream

Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes

Well that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself

And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world

But I only have two hands

I hope I get the chance to travel the world

And I don't have any plans

I wish that I could stay forever this young

Not afraid to close my eyes

Life's a game made for everyone

And love is a prize

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself

And I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost




19

Waves

Mr. Probz

My face above the water

My feet can't touch the ground

And it feels like I can see the sands on the horizon

You are not around

I'm slowly drifting away

Wave after wave

And it feels like I'm drowning

Pulling against the stream

I wish I could make it easy

Easy to love me

But still I reach, to find a way

I'm stuck here in between

I'm looking for the right words to say

I'm slowly drifting, drifting away

Wave after wave

I'm slowly drifting

And it feels like I'm drowning

Pulling against the stream

We Found Love

Rihanna

It's like you're screaming, and no one can hear

You almost feel ashamed

That someone could be that important

That without them, you feel like nothing

No one will ever understand how much it hurts

You feel hopeless; like nothing can save you

And when it's over, and it's gone

You almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back

So that you could have the good

We're standing side by side

As your shadow crosses mine

What it takes to come alive

It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny

We found love in a hopeless place

20

What Doesn’t Kill You

Kelly Clarkson

You think you got the best of me

Think you've had the last laugh

Bet you think that everything good is gone

Think you left me broken down

Think that I'd come running back

You don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone


Just me, myself and I

You heard that I was starting over with someone new

They told you I was moving on over you

You didn't think that I'd come back

I'd come back swinging

You try to break me

But you see...


Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

Thanks to you I got a new thing started

Thanks to you I'm not the brokenhearted

Thanks to you I'm finally thinking 'about me

You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning

In the end...

Wide Awake

Katy Perry

I was in the dark

I was falling hard

How did I read the stars so wrong?

Now it's clear to me

That everything you see

Ain't always what it seems

I was dreaming for so long

I'm wide awake

I wish I knew then

What I know now

Wouldn't dive in

Wouldn't bow down

Gravity hurts

You made it so sweet

'Till I woke up on

On the concrete

Falling from cloud nine

Crashing from the high

I'm letting go tonight

I'm wide awake

Not losing any sleep

I picked up every piece

And landed on my feet

I'm wide awake

Need nothing to complete myself

I am born again

Out of the lion's den

I don't have to pretend

And it's too late

The story's over now, the end

I'm wide awake

Thunder rumbling

Castles crumbling

I'm wide awake

I am trying to hold on

I'm wide awake

I'm not blind anymore...

I'm wide awake
