I am running toward the future
Running away
Running at high speeds
What if I stay and  
I (3X) stay
I am moving to fast missing the moments
I stay

If we were meant to be here
If I am James Dean, then you are Audrey Hepburn
A fairytale that only comes in a dream
If I am prince charming
If we were meant to be
Then I would James Dean
And you be Audrey Hepburn
Like a Disney Movie
I'd be prince charming
and you be my damsel in distress up on top a castle
You be my love forever
That can't be broken by Jafar

Can't be dismissed
Gotta stand by my principles
Nothing will stop me
Gotta stand by my principle
Can avoid 'em
Get work done
No matter what the road goes
It may divert away from the path
But gotta stand by 'em
it's not a myth
Nothing will stand against me
To get work done
Work done
It will do me good
Gotta stand by my principles
Inspired by Robert Palmer's song Simply Irresistible

I am standing here in this glass elevator thinking
Of going up to your arms
I'd wish I could press the button now
But I got a life ahead of me to live
So I'd walk out into the sunshine
Knowing one day that glass elevator will be mine
When I am done here
When I ready to press,
When I am ready to go up in your arms
That I'd be safe in your arms tonight
But for now I gotta live my life to the fullest
I'd give you all for me for you to carry me to safety
Yeah... But for now I will live my life
Oh yeah... glass elevator

wanna close my eyes, wish upon the stars that all the misery in this world would disappear. The homelessness and hopelessness would end. I close my eyes wishing that I can make a difference to end the misery, a change. I wanna help, really do. I stand up for what I believe. I wanna believe that I am superman in a red cape saving the day with a happily ever after. Saving a damsel in distress. I wanna be your superman with a red cape.

But on earth there are two worlds. Disney fairytales and real life. My dreams are fairytales I believe in, but real life is what we are actually living in.
So I am told, son, you can't live in make believe all day long. It is impossible to close your eyes and save the day with your power. It is impossible to save everyone. You can, however use your power to save the few you can, to make the lives of the few better. Don't be discouraged. You can, you can make a difference with a few. The few you helped.

Let
Its frozen on the ground
In the dead of night
You are standing here on the ground, hopeless and homeless
You still persevere till the end
Till you can no longer stand
You never give up and let God decide your
Fate so let it go, let it go
He knows what is best, what you don't think is possible, to greater heights
Let it go he will guide you through
It's a new dawn, and a new day
So never give up and let it go
let God decide your
Fate so let it go, let it go
He knows what is best, what you don't think is possible

He is the best, the hometown hero
He is the guy girls would die to date
He's the guy all guys wanna be
He's the trophy and all
But even the best fall down sometimes
Even the gold and glitter melts into the air
Even the best has a side of him that no- one
Wants to be beautiful disaster.
