A LITTLE BIT OF HOPE
Key:Bb Major
June 2007
I believe, in a heart of darkness,
There’s a little bit of light
That keeps on shining to keep its hope alive
And when you fall down, hard on the ground
It won’t let you lie there
It’ll give you strength to stand up and wash the pain away, behind your
Tears, it will smile
It’ll take you all around to where your
Heart, wants to go
And it’ll bring you safely home
You’re walking through a world so silenced
By people causing pain and violence
A child runs up to beg for a living
You look in his eyes, and you see him dying
You’re living in uncertainty
Trying to reach out for something that’s
Lying inside all along
A little bit of hope
Cold surroundings and lonely searching
They’re making you slow down
But you’ve got something guiding you to help you make it through, all the
Tears, from the eyes of those
Who don’t deserve to cry, in their
Heart, they’ve been longing to find
The strength inside them
You’re walking through broken families
And darkened streets with children buried
The nights are now never ending and the
Future is never coming
They’re living in agony
Trying to reach out for something that’s
Lying inside all along
A little bit of
Hope inside, to keep on burning bright
Hope inside, to give the child a life
Hope inside, to make it through the night
Hope inside, to end it all alright

ALIVE
Key:A MinorJune 2006
Stare at the blue sky
Watch all the birds fly
Wondering when I’d be alive again
Walking in streets so dim
Sleeping without dreams
Waiting for someone to give me hope
Hold me close
You were always in my eyes
Never leave me from your side
And now I have found the one who makes me feel
I’m alive
You are like the sun
You make me warm within
You shared your life and gave me strength inside
All this while
There’s a feeling I keep inside that one day you would be mine
*********
BLEED
Key:A Minor
Crying out all the pain inside
Sitting by myself I’m all alone
I know I’m not the perfect one
But please don’t leave me aside
Please don’t leave me to die
Sweet love I’m longing to hold you
My bleeding soul cries for your love
You know exactly how I feel
But I’m lying in the dark, away from the one thing that I need
All my heart I pour out to you
Cut myself again, I’m bleeding for you
Yet I’m still so far away
From you I cannot deny
I’m still living a lie
I’d die thinking of you
Something I don’t want to do
How’s it feel to know you’re everything I need
From waking up till the time I sleep
I know there’s no you and me
So I’ll lie in the dark, pained, alive and I’ll bleed
*********
BROKEN SOUL
Key:Eb MinorJuly 2006
She’s lost, so alone
No one knows
It’s hard
For her to hold on
And in, her soul she cries
She wonders why
She can’t
Break away and die
And as she bleeds
As she lays her head to sleep
And the world around her spins
She’s still alone, but she’s free
She’s hurt, in her heart
In her mind
Inside
It shows through her eyes
And though, the sun is out
And warmth surrounds
She’s cold
She’s lost all her hope
And as she weeps
As her tears roll down her cheeks
And they burn her wounds so deep
She’s in pain, but she believes
She’s hurt herself living in her dreams
Through the silence, no one hears her piercing…scream
*********
COME INTO MY WORLD
Key:C Major (D Dorian Mode)June 2007
Come take a step
A little closer
Come to this place
Where you have never gone
Share my heart
Share my sorrows
Let me take you into my world
Hold my hand
Let me be the one to
Fill your heart and soul
To where you’ve never gone
Let me believe
That you trust in me
Let me take you into my world
Baby this is the time for us
Maybe this is the place we start
I've opened my heart where you'll be a part
Would you come into my world
You don't have to make me fly
You don't need to ask me why
When you're afraid of drifting apart
You can take my hand and come into my world
*********
DEPARTURE
Key:E MajorSeptember 2008
Weakened, you lie by my side
I’m watching you
I’m watching you
Your breathing subsides
Look at me one last time
I know you don’t
I know you don’t
Deserve to die
Go to sleep my dear
And breathe no more
We part our lives from here on
This is my farewell
I turn away
Letting go of what I used to have
With tears I let die
This is where I go
Moving alone
Hurting inside with blood in my eyes
This is my goodbye
Hopelessly losing my mind
I cannot look
I cannot face
You in the eye
With fire I’d keep you alive
But it’s something that
I cannot do
As much as I try, so
Your time has come, I’m letting you go
We part our lives from here on
*********
DREAM REALITY
Key:B Minor
The dusk is slowly losing light
People turn in for the night
But I’m just waking up, my senses alive
I seem to notice you arrive
Infatuations will arise
Something tells me we’ve got nothing to hide
Caught by you
Felt so good
Should have never ended
So entranced by your presence
Unaware of my reactions
Found myself somehow locked lying in your arms
My surroundings started fading
The people around me disappearing
I was lost as a victim to your touch
You wanted what
I wanted too
But we didn’t need to hurry
Come take me through
All over you
In your world I didn’t see it coming
When you dream reality
You can’t believe what you see
Emotions control the thoughts of you and me
One night is all we need
To feed our lust and greed
To believe that sometimes dreams are meant to be
Let’s find somewhere to be alone
Baby let me bring you home
To where it’s alright to let our feelings show
Stop the clock from carrying on
We won’t be here for very long
Enjoy the moment now before it’s all gone
Caught by you
Felt so good
Should have never ended
Touched by you
All night through
Didn’t see it coming
Desires which we think we can’t achieve
But in this world, if you believe
*********
ETERNAL FEAR
Key:G Minor
I see you in the air
Though I know that you’re not there
I hear you whispering words I want to hear
Rain has made me cold
It’s frozen my soul
I’m in a world where there is no one to take me home
I believe I could carry on
Keep me going strong
I was wrong
There were times that I tried
But it’s those times that I cried
Now I’m trying to hide inside myself where
No one can hear what I
Say in my tears
Everyday I’ll be spending my years
In my eternal fear
Many nights I lie
Under moonless skies
Stranded on a road no one passes by
Forsaken I may be
Forgotten I believe
Wondering why Death must have overlooked me
Screaming out words no one can hear
I’m still lying here
In my fears
Fear of breaking free
Which only I can see
That it’s killing me slowly
Unless I believe
*********
FANTASY
Key:G MajorNovember 2006
You know you always catch my eye, every time you walk by
You know you’ve only got to smile, to make me fly high
When I’m with you I know what you will do
And you’ll carry me through to
Fall into a world of dreams
Where I’m in your arms, it’s where you take me
Way up high into the sky
Where you and me have
Left all our tears behind
Away from where the world’s unkind
We’ll live what we believe
Our heart’s all we need
I believe in a thing called love and it goes a certain way
In my mind there are things I want, my feelings gone astray
In your arms I’ve become more like a child
In your tears I’ve grown
Take my hand we’ll go back where we began
Take my heart, darling let’s
We’ll go where no one knows
Somewhere we won’t be found
Wherever we go you’re in my arms
Safe and sound
In my dreams
We’re where we should be
You and me
We believe
In my world
We have it all
Come with me
And baby let’s fall
*********
HOLDING ON
Many credits to Weiming :)March 2007
Here I’m standing
At the crossroads paving my way
To my destination and
Yet I’m paining
Leaving you behind
Holding all my memories
Every time I take a step ahead I slowly have to let you go
But deep inside you know I’m holding on
When the days go by and through the nights
When you feel that life is not right
Although I’m not there with you
In my heart I’m holding on
When the stars don’t seem to shine so bright
When you find your world without light
Even though you’re there alone
You’ll always know I’m holding on
Separation
It’s more than being apart
A feeling inside that
You need someone
To help you through the rain
To make you stronger
I believe the heart is all you need to have to make it through
As long as you know I’m holding on
And the past is now a memory
And the future’s still a mystery
No matter what the present holds
I’ll always be holding on
One day we will meet again
At the crossroads where it began
However long that may be
I will still be holding on
*********
I WILL OPEN YOUR EYES
Key:Not Finalised
How can you see my heart
You don’t look deep enough
You don’t wanna reach out
But I know
When you’re calling my name
When you want me to be there
But you know that I can open your eyes
Cos it’s me you really need
I have opened your eyes
I have opened your world
Take a look around and see if you can find my heart
But be sure that when you close them
I’ll open your eyes again
How can you pass the days
If you don’t see my love
If you don’t have the heart
But I know
When you’re saying your prayers
When you’re wishing I would be there
But you know that I can open your eyes
Cos it’s me you really need
Oh I’ll open your eyes again
And I will make it clear that I love you dearly
But do you see my heart when you don’t see anything outside
Open your eyes
Open your world
Look around and find my heart
But be sure
That I’ll open your eyes again…
I have opened your eyes
I have opened your world
Take a look around and see if you can find my heart
But be sure
That I’ll open your eyes again…
I have opened your eyes
I have opened your world
Look around and find my heart
But be sure
That when you close them
You will know
That I will open your eyes again
*********
IF I DIED TONIGHT
Key:A Major
Times always change
They never stay the same
What you expect may not come true
Moments like this may pass by you
Some of these are sad
Some of these are true
But you know you cannot change the past
All you can do is hope they last
Would you still look into my eyes
With the love I used to know
Would you still care for me
And wonder where I’d go
Would you still hold my hand tight
And never let me go
Would you love me like you always did before
If I died tonight
Would you be alright
It would be hard to live alone
Without the love you used to know
But would you be sad
Would you be true
Would you really miss me much
Living your life without my touch
If I died tonight
I may not be by your side tonight
But would you…would you…
*********
IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES
Key:G MajorJuly 2006
Today has been a bad day
A day I’ll never forget
But there’s a special place inside my heart
That made to keep the faith
But if by any kind of chance
If tomorrow never comes
We will rest together within today
And pray it’s just the same
If tomorrow never comes
If the new sun doesn’t rise
I will keep you safe inside my heart
Together we will strive
If today was a good day
A day I’ll never forget
I am sure we can overcome
Any kind of pain
But as the sun begins to set
And the night begins to fall
I will keep you safe inside my heart
And pray it’s just the same
If tomorrow never comes
If the new sun doesn’t rise
I will keep you safe inside my heart
Together we will strive
If tomorrow never comes
If the world ends today
I will keep you safe inside my heart
Together we will strive
So don’t begin to cry
If anything were to happen
I’ll be there by your side
I’ll make it through to heaven with you
I will keep you safe inside my heart
Together we will strive
*********
IT'S WHERE YOU WON'T LET GO
Key:C Minor
Wishing for a moment, one that lives on
Looking for an angel to carry me along
Hoping for the memory of looking in your eyes
Like a dream I try
To keep with me inside (Where I sleep...)
Sleeping soundly in arms that hold me near (You hold me...)
Where I’m sure it’s where
You’ll never let me go
Everytime I’m feeling lonely
I know you’re always there
Reaching out to try to catch me
Whenever I fall
Holding on
To where I belong
In my heart and soul, it’s one thing that I know
It’s where you won’t let go
Holding on to the touch I love so dear
Keeping far away from all the things I fear
Whispering sweet words that only I can hear
With your tears you try
To reach me deep inside (You softly kiss...)
Kiss me softly, set my soul alight (Let it burn... bright)
Leave it burning bright
For the rest of my life
It’s where you won’t let go, where you’ll hold me tight
Keep me close all night and through the morning’s light
It’s where you shelter me, protect me from the rain
And you make it so that I don’t feel the pain
Of letting go
In my heart and soul, it’s one thing that I know
It’s where you won’t let go...
It’s where you won’t let go
*********
JEWEL IN THE SKY
Key:C MinorJune 2006
Shine, feel the warmth in your eyes
When you are around me you light me up inside
Keep me near to your heart where I sleep
Dreaming of the heavens above
For you I will fly
Like the wind I will carry you high
Into the night
When the world sleeps we’ll be the moonlight
Like the sun you keep me warm
Like a star you are my jewel in the sky
Strange as the feeling may be
You and I were meant to be
We were one since the time you were mine
We’ll stay this way till we die
Keep me near to your heart where I sleep
Dreaming of the heavens above
*********
LIKE ONE (NP National Day Song 2006)
Many credits to Steve :)August 2006
As I stand alone
I see people come and go
But I know deep inside
There’s one thing that we know
Like the leaves in the breeze, red and green
Each one a pretty piece
And the splendor that is seen in one whole tree
That’s what we believe
Shining as one
We are like stars in the sky
Breathing as one
As the days pass us by
Holding on we stand, working together hand in hand
As our hearts bind, we know that we will find
We’re standing as one
Cos we’re all the same inside
Living as one
We can say that we survived
With our voice we cry with pride, to the colours red and white
In heart and soul, we’ve become like one
In the past there were times
We thought we would divide
But we kept pushing on
We’ve left it all behind
Like the bees working hard for something sweet
Each one a little bit
In their minds they are driven by a common dream
That’s what we believe
*********
MISSING YOU
Key:A MinorMay 2007
You know I want you
Someone whom, every night,
When I’m sleeping,
Will be there to hold me tight
In the darkness
Your shadow sets me alight
And your smile says we’ll be alright
(Walking in the rain it pains trying not to think of you again)
Just to see you
I’d walk a thousand miles every day
Just to hold you
I’d burn myself in the flames
Of my desire
To look in your eyes once again
Of a face that will never look away
(Walking in the rain it pains trying not to think of you again)
I’m missing you
(Every time I try to turn away you keep drawing me back to stay)
Baby I’m crazy
Reaching out for emptiness
Holding on to fantasies
I’m missing someone not there
You know I need you
Without you I’m standing alone
I love you
For reasons that you’d never know
I will wait for you
No matter where you go
Just so I can carry you home
(Walking in the rain it pains trying not to think of you again)
I’m missing you
(Every time I try to turn away you keep drawing me back to stay)
Walking in the rain it pains
Trying not to think of you again
Every time I try to turn away
You keep drawing me back to stay
I’m missing you
Oh…….
I’m missing you
*********
NO LIE
Key:D MinorMarch 2006
The time has come
We’re going separate ways
It’s getting hard enough remembering this day
And although I’ll see you again it’s not the same
As waiting for that time trying not to feel the pain
I watch you go
Memories flash through my mind
Those priceless images that you left behind
The feelings so strong inside and the times that we smiled
Now bring tears to my eyes
I miss you dear and I cannot lie
Oh darling
I know you have to go
As much as I hate to I’m standing here alone
Far away
You’ll make it back someday
It’s no lie till that time
I’m wishing you’ll be right by my side
I stay alone
I’m trying to move on
But you keep haunting me you won’t let me go
Everything around me seems to remind me of your smile
And the warmth of your heart has left me lying in the cold
It’s not easy saying goodbye to you
Even if I’m smiling I’ll be crying deep inside
It’s a hard journey for me and for you
But when it’s over I’ll be back again lying in your arms
Baby it’s no lie
*********
ON MY OWN
Key:E MinorMarch 2006
Hey baby
Take me away
You hold on me
And never let me go
Hey baby
I’m dreaming of you
You hold on me
And never walk away
Cos when you’re gone, I’m standing all alone
Walking down the darkened road, leaving on my own
It was those days I was in a lullaby
I’ve nothing left in my life so I cry
So I cry
Hey baby
I’m standing here alone
Cold and lonely
Since the day you let me go
Hey baby
You hurt me inside
Don’t wanna see me
Just wanna walk away
Hey baby I’m dreaming of you
*********
RETURN
Key:E MinorFebruary 2006
It’s not easy to go and leave your heart behind
It’s not easy to say that I’ll be fine
Cos I know it’s hard to say goodbye to someone that’s mine
And leave her lying in a world controlled by time
And I will always keep you near
You help me drown away my fears
Even though I’ll be away I’m with you everyday
And even through the sun and the rain I’ll think of you again
And if my heart cries out I’ll call your name and wait for the day
I can see your face again when I
Return
I cry to myself in the night until the morning comes
And then I’m reminded of you and where you’ve gone
But if I don’t believe and don’t forget I cannot move on
And keep on telling myself I’ll be home soon
And I will never let you go
You are the life within my soul
*********
RUN AWAY
Key:Not Finalised
Maybe when
The world stops spinning you’ll look up and see it’s me
Remembering, hey, it’s a family and you and me are both in it and
Maybe when
You think you’re lost you come and ask me what I’ve got
To help your find your way again and make it look like you forgot
Maybe when
I try to help us make it through each day
You make a fool of me and you and say, baby, it’s just that way and
Maybe when
I finally realize that you’re not made for me
I’ll leave you and you alone and baby, that’s the way it’ll be
I’ll run away
It’s not like I am needed here
I’ll run away
Cos baby you don’t want me near
So let me go
Let me live my life again
I’d rather go
Away from all this hate and pain
So I’ll run away
Run away
As far as I can making sure I don’t lose track
Even if you call my name, trust me, girl, I won’t look back cos
Every time
Something goes wrong you make it seem like I’m the one
The more you push the blame on me the more it makes me wanna run
Far away
I never wanna see your face again
You’ll never know the stress and pressure I had felt since then but
Now I know
That girl you really are not made for me
You can stay but I will go and baby that’s the way it’ll be
Even if you stop me, girl
I’ll try to break free
Even if your heart breaks, girl
You won’t have me
Cos I’ll run away
(Far away that’s where I’ll be)
I’ll run away
(You won’t know where I will be
Cos now it’s time to say goodbye and baby, that’s the way it’ll be)
Run away
(You are just not made for me)
I’ll run away
(Baby that’s the way it’ll be)
So let me go
(You are just not made for me)
I’d rather go
(Baby that’s the way it’ll be)
So I’ll run away

SUICIDE BLISS
Key:F MinorJune 2007
Breathe into a deep sleep
I let myself go
Hurt in my body and soul
Come take me away from this life
I'm no good when I'm alive
Forever I want to lie
With you
Lie with you
Whatever fate may come to me
As long as I'm with you
You're taking me away into a world
A world so far away
You're leading me away from the chance
I might go astray
People tell me
"Till death, do us part"
I believe that's where we begin
Bleeding my heart out
Ignoring the pain i give myself
As my reason to die
With you
Die with you
Seconds more to hold on
From then on I'll be free
Baby I'd do anything just to be right next to you
In your arms which hold me tight to warm the cold nights through
To look in your eyes, it's all that i desire
That's the only reason i'd live and die to be
With you
Be with you
Death knows no boundaries
Cos here I am with you
*********
SWEET SURRENDER
Key:G# MinorJanuary 2007
Living in my sweet surrender
Where I’m in a world I can’t remember
Looking back at how I’ve journeyed
Through the sands of time
Breaking from the sweet demise
Of a previous life filled with lies
Venture forth towards the end of life
But feeling even more alive
Letting go of a soul I’ve known
That haunts me inside
I’m giving up myself unto you
In sweet surrender I am you
Sacrifices made
In the hope things will turn out right
Gone through pain many times before
But never seen the light
Emotions constantly at war
Over problems which cannot be resolved
But the fate of my future depends
On the winner at the end
Burning all my dark regrets
Away from all I shall forget
When I’m giving in to be
In sweet surrender you are me
*********
TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL
Key:A MajorJune 2007
I feel the sun on my face
I feel the warmth in my soul
I feel like I’m being born again
I see the darkness fading
I see the winter snow melting
I can fly like the birds again
Your smile is like the summer
Your eyes are like no other
Your wings make me wonder
If I’m still dreaming
Just being next to you
I feel like I’m someone new
Heaven sent, you give me the chance to breathe again
With your touch you bring the light
Where you warm me up inside
When you’re around you complete my life
Where my future shines bright
I never thought I’d be
Touched by an angel
Like you
When it’s dark, you make it
Seem as though the sun had never set
It’s still morning in our lives
When I’m down, you make it
Seem as though whatever was wrong
Is now something that’s long gone
Your touch is made of silver
Your songs put me in slumber
Your presence makes me wonder
If I’m still dreaming
Just being next to you
I feel like I’m someone new
Heaven sent, you gave me the chance to breathe again
It’s like prayers which have been answered by heaven itself
There’s nothing greater than being touched by an angel like you
*********
WHEN I FOUND YOU
Key:Not Finalised
I’ve been searching around
I’ve been thinking it through
I’ve been asking myself
What I should really do
But when I wake up each morning
Or when I look to the moon
I realize it’s true
Cos you brought me sunshine
And you brought me day
You made me feel in love with you
In every single way
And when I feel lonely
Or feel like a fool
I realize it’s true
When I found you
I can hold on forever
And never let go
Even when the sun has set I know I’ll be with you
Cos the love that we’re sharing
The love that’s so true
Only came to me
When I found you
For as long as I’m able
I will keep you near
I’d even die to keep you safe from the things you fear
That’s why I’m here
When you reach out and say
That you need me near
You know that I’ll be there
You don’t have to fear
Cos you are the reason
My love is so true
It’s all part of me
When I found you
I realize it’s true
