One thing I know
There are angels among us
Those who would save us
From the beast of ourselves

Those beings with haloes
And wings on the wind
The ones who would save those
Who can't be alone

The angels that I know
Earning their wings
Speeding to heaven
Riding the wind

Needless bloodshed;
Hands stained red;
All around you bullet shells,
And back home
Your best friend
Is the cause of funeral bells.

Why war?
What could be worth fighting for?
Do you know who's keeping score?
We're surely not.
We keep fighting
And dying;
We never give up trying,
But on and on explosions light up the sky.

A drafted man goes off to war;
Goodbye to kid and wife.
They see him soon
In a bandage cocoon,
Deprived of limb and life.

Why war?
What could be worth fighting for?
Do you know who's keeping score?
We're surely not.
We keep fighting
And dying;
We never give up trying,
But on and on explosions light up the sky.

Put your flags at half-mast-
Another life was lost today;
We fight for peace
What did we really gain?

Boys, put away your guns;
Men please tell your sons:
Don't ever break your mother's heart,
Because a war is never won.

We were walking on the beach,
Side by side, hand in hand;
The waves crashing around our feet
The setting sun was glistening in his hair
Like he was an angel, or maybe it was just me

I told him I wanted this to never end,
That simple, sweet moment of peace;
He told me not to worry,
We'd be like this forever;
Just me and him, him and me

We were waiting in line for our table
At the fanciest place in town;
The light twinkling up above from the chandelier
Reflected in his brightened eyes,
Like they held the stars, or maybe it was just me

When the waiter asked how many,
He answered quick and simply
A table for two please, just us;
Just me and her, her and me

As we laid in bed
I was wrapped in his arms,
And he was better than any blanket,
So soft and warm, or maybe it was just me

I thought I heard a noise,
Some scary intruder come to ****,
But he told me not to worry,
There was no one there but us,
Just me and him, him and me

One day he got a call,
He owed someone money,
He sounded calm at the time, but I knew better;
He seemed a bit scared, or maybe it was just me

I took a test the next week,
I found out I was pregnant,
We had something to love, to show our devotion;
He promised me to stay and raise our family,
We'd do it together
Just me and him, him and me

The next day he got another call
And his voice sounded shaky
As he hung up the phone,
I told him he seemed scared,
And he said it was just me

They came in a black car
They came with guns
They shot my sweetheart in the head and left
And I sat crying on the doorstep,
My hands on my belly
As it hit me:
Now it was just me

Your eyes are the storm clouds
That block your sunny smile,
I haven't heard you laugh in quite a while,
Please tell me the reason that you feel so alone;
Let me hold you in my arms

Why are you so down,
The world is your oyster,
Make life a pearl while you're young;
Love lies in loving yourself,
Loving life, loving laughter,
No matter what kind of love you're after

Forget all your sorrows of yesterday,
Dry all your tears, throw away all the pain,
Tomorrow has a new dawn, life lies in waking,
And new life is there for the taking

You used to be my inspiration;
You're your own worst enemy;
You held me back from my temptations,
But now you're gone,
Something's wrong,
You're not you

Forget all your sorrows of yesterday,
Dry all your tears, throw away all the pain,
Tomorrow has a new dawn, life lies in waking,
And new life is there for the taking

And always remember
The ones who shine for you;
The ones who would die for you

The clouds block the day, please send them away with your smile

Won't you come and touch me,
Be the one to reach me;
Don't let me stay here lonely,
Help me to live on

Your arms they are my solace,
Your voice the reason I can say
That I'm regaining balance;
I'm fighting for a better day

Don't you try and tell me
That you do not know me,
You'll always be my only;
Help me to live on

A thousand voices of shattered dreams
As endless nights fill with frightened screams
Not from my lips, for from yours they'd have to part

I'd show a side to you I've never dreamed show before
But let me stay, just one more chance to be the one in your arms

Live on, live on,
There's a place for everyone
Beyond, beyond
What you can imagine;
Who knows how long
Until we can achieve it,
But stay strong
And together we can make it

I wish upon a million shining stars
That I was yours again,
But you are where you are
And that won’t ever change.
Will it ever feel quite right,
This pain of separate place?
Or will my heart always be in pain
When I see your face?

I know that I cannot expect
To be the center of your life,
But would it be so selfish
To wish for just one night?
To simply lie beside you,
And have you hold me one last time
Before I say goodbye.

Would it be so wrong
If it made everything seem right
To wish for a place
Directly by your side?
I would give the world
To look into your eyes
And see reflected all the love
That I feel I’ve been denied.

Maybe I’m the wrong one,
Maybe it’s a lie,
Maybe I don’t understand
The way things change with time.
Maybe I’m just fooling
My heart, my brain, my mind,
Or maybe I’m just trying
To find a place to hide.

I know that I am young,
I have my entire life;
I’m looking in the wrong place
For my Mr. Right;
But everyone has left me,
I’ve nowhere else to go;
I can only think to go to you
And now, you’re not at home.

No wishes from a genie
Can bring the kind of cure
That makes this kind of heartache
Not hurt me anymore.
The most I can expect
To find within this time
Is a way to forget
That you were ever mine.

It was cold and dark that night
I still remember, I was there
Someone could have stopped her
Had anybody cared

I still remember, I was there
The dullness in her eyes
Had anybody cared
They would see beyond the lies

The dullness in her eyes
She stared blankly, far away
They would see beyond the lies
To the things she wouldn't, couldn't say

She stared blankly, far away
As if her answers were on the wall
To the things she wouldn't, couldn't say
But there was nothing there at all

No answers were written on the wall
Someone could have stopped her
But there was no one there at all
It was cold and dark that night
