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
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
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
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
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?
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I want to see you be brave

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
You feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
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?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
You feelin' alright
I'm not feelin' too good myself

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

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
Gotta live like we're dying
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'
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
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

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

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,
Does it almost feel like
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,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

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
You held me down, but I got up
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
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
You held me down, but I got up
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!

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

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
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast
Yes, indeed
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast
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
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

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

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
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
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...
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
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...
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

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
