02:00 A Little More Time
05:00

LYRICS
there must of course be a way
a little more time to stay
another lost hour gone away forever
savor the time we have
moments we can’t get back
thirty-six hundred seconds lost forever
tell me it’s too soon to say goodbye
so unfair to spring ahead and lose this precious time
2am again
it’s 2am again
wish we could turn back time and stay this way whenever
how is this possible
seems so illogical
maybe a miracle or the greatest magic trick ever
favorite holidays may never last
best day of the year is when we turn the clocks back
carry me away to the place called forget-me-not
gather up my life, take it all to the parking lot
carry me away to the place called forget-me-not
settle all my scores, then what’s left give it to the poor

05:00
|

|
LYRICS
looking up above to see the sky, doorways open
let the sun provide a warm embrace to shine within
when the daylight finally goes away again
stars will shine through night to lead the way
higher than the clouds beyond the mountain range
memories for another day
we can live to be 116 like 木村 次郎右衛門 did
if I had to do it all again I would call you
tell you everything I never said when we were friends
lately I can’t see what’s right in front of me
make the same mistakes from way back when
picture every moment and it’s clear to see
love will give us everything
there are a lot of things that I wanna do before I leave this place, but I know if I don’t that’s ok
‘cause I am grateful for every breath and every day that I see
maybe I will get lucky and live to be 80, or maybe win the lottery of life and live 90 years old
but what about 100? what about 100 years old? if I could live to see the year 2068
and what would my life be like in the future? what would my life be like for me then? what would my life be like for me then?

02:15 Buried Treasure
05:00
|
|||
|
LYRICS
listen if you can when silence stays to be your friend
just as we begin we never seem to see the end
never be afraid to take a look inside the box you keep has buried treasure that can set you free
do not be afraid life can be sweet there is a way to find your peace
flowers in the garden remind me of you
it’s ok to cry you don’t need an alibi
it’s best to speak your mind cause if you don’t the pain may grow with time

LYRICS
it’s gonna be a better day tomorrow
maybe we’ll take the afternoon and swim along around the shore
pick honeyberries and our favorite kind of mangoes
live the simple life as it was before
the people of this land deserve a hero
someone who’s not afraid to give them all the voice they never had before
a leader needs a little reassurance
broken promises open revolving doors
on a beautiful night
with the stars up in the sky
yeah everything is gonna be alright
slowly we’ll make our way back to the place we call home
the people like to speak of revolution
and all the workers plan to strike at least until they get their way
resilience is my biggest consolation
back in the sugar fields everyday cutting cane
me in my sugar fields everyday cutting cane
so home we will go
out of darkness there will be a guiding light
power to the people
maybe someday we will finally get it right
good vs evil
I don’t know if there will ever come a day
when we’ll get together
I think it’s better off that we should leave this way
wish for peace in our time and a country god’s willing to save
From Annapolis to Havana he tried to build a bridge but neither side was willing. In ‘34 intrigue, not integrity was the coin. He chose his cane fields rather than grasp the fleeting. One hundred years later who knows what might have been...

LYRICS
now the darkness comes our way
nowhere left to run and hide cause it’s too late
see the monsters in the sky
there’s no time to lose it’s time to take a stand for what is right
everyone turn out the lights
they won’t see us if we all stay out of sight
one by land and two by sea
there’s no need ‘cause with our radar we can see the enemy
we won’t fall
we won’t fail
see the thunder coming down
raining fire on our sacred tinseltown
though the battle’s just begun
we will fight the enemy with every bullet from every gun

02:30 Freedom
05:00
|

|
LYRICS
just a spider moving, floating all around
an unforeseeable wind could knock it to the ground
it is weightless, suspended, changing left to right
like a tiny balloon directionless in flight
all the colors
forming patterns
hold and surround us
blinding floodlights
walls and wires
waiting to find us
flames and fire
lift us higher
stay to protect us
just until we’re safe and sound
we are flying, weightless, high up in the air
while the rest of the world is sleeping without a care
we are tired, exhausted, ready for the end
and whatever is next we’re never coming back again
we’re lookin’ for freedom
no more hiding in the shadows
fear will not define us
we’re gonna find our future now
we are tired
but not beaten
we refuse to
be defeated
we’re lookin’ for
freedom

02:35 Hole in My Head
05:00
|

|
LYRICS
you know the way that we met was rather peculiar
the way you slid in my DM just to see if you could get me to say hello
though there was something about you that felt so familiar
I never thought I would fall head over heals and be broke stuck in your love
there’s a hole in my head
I wanna fill it with memories of you and me
it’s been a couple of years that have passed since it ended
I know the way that we left it made it seem like certain things were better left alone
there were a couple of things that I said I regret it
but if I see you again I’m gonna try to get back into your phone
want what we want despite good intentions
see what it is we wanna believe
maybe it’s just a healthy obsession
it’s so late
and I really wanna see ya
yeah I’m thinkin’ about you every day and every night
I’m so tired
don’t know what to do without you
it’s like a little piece of me is gone inside
can’t you see
just what you’re doing to me
I try to sleep but I can’t stop thinkin’ of a life with you
and though I try
I feel so empty inside
baby you and me could make some beautiful dreams come true
without you
I don’t know what to do
my feelings feel misled I’ve got a hole in my head
I wanna fill it with all the things we could do

LYRICS
we begin this sacred day
like no other
hear the band begin to play
the war is over
the mission of this allied force was fulfilled at 0241 local time May 7th 1945
le soleil sur mon visage
le jour est meilleur
plus de pleurs ni de carnage
parti est l'oppresseur
Як ми могли
передбачити страждання?
Поспішаючи, ми покинули село
Ми чекаємо погоди з моря
Взяти нас там, де ми належимо
χρόνια πολλά περιμένω
τα δεινά δεν σταματάνε ποτέ
κακό σκυλί ψόφο δεν έχει
παρά τις ταλαιπωρημένες φωνές

LYRICS
flying away from everything
you’re trying to get there as fast as you can
oceans of sand and solitude
melting away all the plans that you have
confidence seems to carry you
ambition and courage to light up the way
but sometimes a cloud may follow you to
take away the trophy that you
worked so hard to claim
gotta get back from where you came
there’s something out there that will take you to a place beyond the
every day make it rain seize the day take what you can
it’s up to you to do whatever thing you wanna do and never let
anyone anywhere tell you you can’t
and someday if you find you’re standing in the very place you
never thought anyone anywhere believed you could be
believe in all of the possibilities that life can
bring you if you only try to live in the light of broken dreams
melting away your metaphors
choosing the day that your spirit will soar
lucky to have your fortitude
luckier yet that you didn’t lose more
maybe it’s part of destiny
maybe it’s all just a part of the plan
but the dangers of blindly speeding through
space and time inevitably
lead you to a different fate
gotta get up and start again
un demi-litre de café
un quart de litre de vin blanc
aussi un peu de raisin et une orange

|
LYRICS
but I don’t know if I’ll make it back home no
everything is quiet in the night
engines outside humming through the sky
the longest day forever is over fast
the man with the loaded gun ain’t comin’ back
but I don’t know if I’ll make it back home
we’re flying back in an empty plane
and nothing else will ever be the same
now the new day will soon begin
leave the past to start all over again
don't know if I’ll make it back home
back to you
the changes that were made will change the things I say to you
don’t know if there’s a way back to make my way back to you

LYRICS
I never thought that things would get so bad they’d end in this way
I tried to figure out a way to get us back in the game
do you remember all we wanted was to change the world?
I can’t believe that we’ve become a ghost of what we were
baby I know that you’re not very happy
you know I’d do anything for you
never wanna see you taken for granted
no one else can do the things you do
everyone’s tryin’ to come between us
they wanna destroy all the love we found
we can have everything that we wanted
but first we gotta burn it to the ground
I’ve been away from you so long because I just couldn’t stay
it made me crazy watchin’ people wanna treat you that way
and though I’ve missed you I insist you’ve always been on my mind
let’s start this fire right away and not waste any more time
high up above me and you
show ‘em the love, love that’s true
