Thirteen Musicians and Lyrics. YOUR NAME 1…. Solitude By Evanescence How many times have I done this to myself How long will it take before I see When will this hole in my heart be mended Who now is left alone but me Ooh, Solitude, Forever me and forever you Ooh, Solitude, Only you, only true 2. Little Earthquakes By Tori Amos We danced in graveyards with vampires till dawn We laughed in the faces of kings never afraid to burn And I hate And I hate And I hate And I hate disintegration Watching us wither Black winged roses that safely changed their color Oh these little earthquakes Here we go again Oh these little earthquakes Doesnt take much to rip us into pieces I cant reach you I cant reach you Give me life, give me pain Give me myself again Oh these little earthquakes Here we go again Oh these little earthquakes Doesnt take much to rip us into pieces Doesnt take much to rip us into pieces 3. Love Alive by Heart The sky was dark this morning When I raised my head I stood at the window - Darkness was my bane Suddenly a sunbeam arch Thrilled me to my weary heart It was the prettiest thing Id ever seen I knew I had to keep my love Keep my love alive Keep my love - keep my love li 4. Faith, Courage, and Wisdom by India Arie Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in the sun Behind my eyes there lives a me that Ive been hiding for much too long cause Ive been, too afraid to let it show cause Im scared of the judgment that may follow Always putting off my living for tomorrow Its time to step out on faith, Ive gotta show my faith Its been illusive for so long, but freedom is mine today Ive gotta step out on faith, its time to show my faith Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found Chorus Strength, courage, and wisdom And its been inside of me all along, Strength, courage, and wisdom Inside of me 5. I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack I hope you never lose your sense of wonder, You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger, May you never take one single breath for granted, God forbid love ever leave you empty handed, I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that youll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance....i hope you dance. 6. In The End by Linkin Park It starts with [one] One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind i designed this rhyme to explain in due time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It's so unreal Didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on, didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everythin inside And even though I tried It all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when i [tried so hard] Tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesn't even matter One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind i designed this rhyme to explain in due time To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so [far] Things arent the way they were before You wouldnt even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me in the end I kept everything inside And even though I tried It all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I [tried so hard] Tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesnt even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesnt even matter I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this Theres only one thing you should know I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this Theres only one thing you should know I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesnt even matter I had to fall to lost it all But in the end it doesnt even matter 7. Imagine by John Lennon Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today... Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one 8. I Am An Illusion by Rob Thomas Take this confusion Runnin' round my head Take back my unkind words Lay that weight on me instead I'm the place where everything turns sour Where you gonna run to now Wrong step We got off track We need someone to help us get back now Worn thin Awful state I was in I believe I was losing me now I'm found I am found But I'm not real anymore I am an illusion I am the damage I am the relief Sometimes I'm people I never hoped that I would be If I take in whatever they turn out What's that gonna make me now Don't you understand I'm not real anymore I am an illusion Wrong step We got off track We need someone to help us get back now Worn thin Awful state I was in I believe they were fooling me Now I'm down I am down But I'm not real anymore I am an illusion 9. Dream On by Aerosmith Everytime that I look in the mirror All these lines on my face gettin clearer The past is gone It went by like dust to dawn Isnt that the way Everybodys got their dues in life to pay I know what nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know its everybodys sin You got to lose to know how to win Half my life is in books written pages Live and learn from fools and from sages You know its true All the things come back to you Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears Sing with me, if its just for today Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away (x2) Dream on, dream on Dream yourself a dream come true Dream on, dream on Dream until your dream come true Dream on, dream on, dream on... Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears Sing with me, if its just for today Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away 10. It's All Coming Back To Me Now by Celine Dion There were nights when the wind was so cold That my body froze in bed If I just listened to it Right outside the window There were days when the sun was so cruel That all the tears turned to dust And I just knew my eyes were Drying up forever I finished crying in the instant that you left And I cant remember where or when or how And I banished every memory you and I had ever made But when you touch me like this And you hold me like that I just have to admit That its all coming back to me When I touch you like this And I hold you like that Its so hard to believe but Its all coming back to me (its all coming back, its all coming back to me now) There were moments of gold And there were flashes of light There were things Id never do again But then theyd always seemed right There were nights of endless pleasure It was more than any laws allow Baby baby If I kiss you like this And if you whisper like that It was lost long ago But its all coming back to me If you want me like this And if you need me like that It was dead long ago But its all coming back to me Its so hard to resist And its all coming back to me I can barely recall But its all coming back to me now But its all coming back There were those empty threats and hollow lies And whenever you tried to hurt me I just hurt you even worse And so much deeper There were hours that just went on for days When alone at last wed count up all the chances That were lost to us forever But you were history with the slamming of the door And I made myself so strong again somehow And I never wasted any of my time on you since then But if I touch you like this And if you kiss me like that It was so long ago But its all coming back to me If you touch me like this And if I kiss you like that It was gone with the wind But its all coming back to me (its all coming back, its all coming back to me now) There were moments of gold And there were flashes of light There were things wed never do again But then theyd always seemed right There were nights of endless pleasure It was more than all your laws allow Baby, baby, baby When you touch me like this And when you hold me like that It was gone with the wind But its all coming back to me When you see me like this And when I see you like that Then we see what we want to see All coming back to me The flesh and the fantasies All coming back to me I can barely recall But its all coming back to me now If you forgive me all this If I forgive you all that We forgive and forget And its all coming back to me When you see me like this And when I see you like that We see just what we want to see Al coming back to me The flesh and the fantasies All coming back to me I can barely recall but its all coming back to me now 11. Landslide by Stevie Nicks I took my love and I took it down I climbed a mountain and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills Well the landslide brought me down Oh, mirror in the sky What is love Can the child within my heart rise above Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides Can I handle the seasons of my life Well, Ive been afraid of changing cause I built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older Im getting older too Well... Well, Ive been afraid of changing cause I built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older Im getting older, too Well Im getting older too So, take this love and take it down Year and if you climb a mountain and ya turn around And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills Well the landslide brought me down And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills Well maybe Well maybe Well maybe the landslide will bring you down 12. Precious Time by Pat Benetar I dont want to argue about who is the victim Cause maybe we both got burned I dont want to talk about who is the traitor Cause both of our loyalties turned I dont want to fight about who is the liar Cause theres too many ways to lie I dont want to hear about who is the winner Cause we both know its a tie Cut it out, drop it, count me out - baby stop it Life is too short, so why waste precious time Life is too short, so why waste precious time You were on a liquid diet, you were sure you had to try it And you lost all your pounds The doctors on vacation, so you took the medication And wound up in lost and found So we took a trip to paris Cause you swore that it would scare us out of our swift decline All that I remember `bout those days in that september Is the merci and the wine Cut it out, drop it, count me out - baby stop it Life is too short, so why waste precious time Life is too short, so why waste Precious time, precious time, precious time Oh, precious time Life is too short, so why waste precious time You talk on the telephone, long distance to new york or rome Some would say you got it made Your home is like a fortress, no one comes in but the florist The gardner, and the maid You call me on the telephone, you say you feel so alone Too tired to get dressed and get out First youre happy, then youre sad Somehow you always hang up mad Excuse me if I shout Cut it out, drop it, count me out - baby stop it Life is too short, so why waste precious time Life is too short, so why waste precious time Life is too short, so why waste precious time Precious time, precious time, oh precious time Life is too short, so why waste precious time 13.
