Midnight in Manhattan

You must immediately
Find out who your are
Or bless yourself and don't be fooled
You don't have to go so far
They say there's little time
And there is so much to do
But your work is never ending,
And your happiness depends on you
It may be midnight in Manhattan,
But here it's time to rise
There's always someplace better
Now don't let it fool your eyes
They say there's little time
And there is so much to do
But your work is neverending,
And your happiness depends on you
It may be midnight in Manhattan,
But here it's time to rise
There's always someplace better
Now don't let it fool your eyes
Your life is like a melody,
When it's sweetly played in tune
You must immediately
Find out who your are
Or bless yourself and don't be fooled
You don't have to go so far
It may be midnight in Manhattan,
But here it's time to rise
There's always someplace better
Now don't let it fool your eyes

Bird's Eye View

Sweet tomorrow, day after today,
Your sweet, sweet promise, leads me away
It's a minor detail, from a bird's eye view
That keeps me going, tell what can I do
To find a cure for, my own disease
Because it's breaking the hearts of the sweetest girls around
It never pleased me, so I'll stop believing
In forcing mountains, to move them at my will
I wonder how, how my story is told
When the day is done and I’m getting old
It's a minor detail, from a bird's eye view
But it keeps me going, tell me what can I do
To find a cure for, my own disease
Because it's breaking the hearts of the sweetest girls around
It never pleased me, so I'll stop believing
In forcing mountains, to move them at my will
I'm getting older, it's always happening
Never did I spend a day, and I was younger than before
How could it be that, I’m still believing
After being torn apart, so many times?

Sun and the Breeze

I was told a crazy story
Of a man who roamed the seas
He was looking for an island
Open fields and lush green trees
Please tell me baby
There is something greater
That I’ll find peace in the sun and the breeze
Please tell me baby
Rumour says that he's been sailing
For a year or maybe more
Ain't nobody seen him lately
Though they found his boat ashore
In the sun and the breeze (3x)
Rumour says that he's been sailing
For a year or maybe more
Ain't nobody seen him lately
Though they found his boat ashore

Masterpiece

I try to keep my smile as smooth
My mind as cool
As ever before
Why am I playing tricks
when I'll just get caught
I will get caught
Forget me, my truth, my masterpiece, my song, my words, and my beliefs
You said to me, my age is just
It's just a number
It made me feel old
I am done trying to prove myself
If I know what's right
Than it's right enough
Forget me, my truth, my masterpiece, my song, my words, and my beliefs

Never Know It's Real
03:13

There was a time
With all the colors in tune
Look through your eyes and I wonder
If I strayed from the truth
I'll take the blame
It's just something that grows
I know that you can't explain,
The things I don't really show
I never know it's real,
until I lie beside you
You never seem to care,
My selfish mind consumes me
There was a time
With all the colors in tune
Look through your eyes and I wonder
If I strayed from the truth
I never know it's real,
until I lie beside you
You never seem to care,
My selfish mind consumes me
