Oh there's so many choices / So many ways I could go / And these people who push me / They say that they know / 'Cause they've been here before / And it's always the same / They're just trying to stop my mistakes / But I've already learnt the hard way That my heart is encased in a box made of lead / And it can't seem to find its way out / And I can't shake this feeling / This voice in my head / That my heart wants to be free / Oh to be wandering free Oh there's so many questions / That run through my mind / But the people I ask / They just don't have the time / They've got places to go / And have people to see / They don't really have time for me / Oh why can't anyone see That my heart is encased in a box made of lead / And it can't seem to find its way out / And I can't shake this feeling / This voice in my head / That my heart wants to be free / Oh to be wandering free But these questions need answers / So if you have the time / I'd just like to ask you something / That's been on my mind / You say Jesus came and he came just to die / For me and my little life / I can't stop wondering why Oh my heart was encased in a box made of lead / And it just couldn't find it's way out / But now I've got this feeling / This voice in my head / That you can set my heart free / Because Jesus died for me

Falling 03:25
I'm taking the chance to take a chance / And we'll see how it goes / My thoughts are rushing around in my head / But I'm taking it slow / It's like I'm looking out a window / Watching every little thing / Going faster and faster / Until it can't stop / And I'm climbing up this molehill / 'Til I reach the top / The very top And it feels like I'm falling / And it feels like the only natural thing to do / Into your arms / 'Cause this is right where I belong / With you I'm holding my breath and I'm closing my eyes / As I step off the ledge / And now I'm free falling / Without a safety net / I'm letting inhibitions go / And letting everybody know / Just how good this feels / And I'm living the dream I know / 'Cause I'm letting go And it feels like I'm falling / And it feels like the only natural thing to do / Into your arms / 'Cause this is right where I belong / With you It's like I'm losing my mind / But I'm losing the will / To stay in the fight / It's like I'm losing my head / But I couldn't care less / No I couldn't care less And it feels like / I'm falling / And it feels / It feels / Just like I'm falling And it feels like I'm falling / And it feels like the only natural thing to do / Into your arms / Where I'm safe from harm / Into your arms / 'Cause this is right where I belong / With you / With you

Change 03:51
Change makes us fall to our knees / Makes us leap off the ledge / Makes us trust in what we cannot see / And change makes us dream bigger dreams / Than we would have dreamed before / And change makes us hope / For something bigger / For something more And if change didn't happen / Lord we wouldn't understand / Just how much you protect us So I'm giving up / And I'm giving in / And giving you my all / 'Cause nothing else / And no one else / Will catch me every time I fall / And you are my safety net / When the changes are / Just too hard to bear So Lord take me now / Take me anywhere / I will follow where you lead / Oh take me round the corner / Or take me far away / Change me from what I used to be And if change didn't happen / Lord we wouldn't understand / Just how much you protect us So I'm giving up / And I'm giving in / And giving you my all / 'Cause nothing else / And no one else / Will catch me every time I fall / And you are my safety net / When the changes are / Just too hard to bear Oh I'm giving up / And I'm giving in / And giving you my all / 'Cause nothing else / And no one else / Will catch me every time I fall / And you are my safety net / When the changes are / Just too hard to bear / Woah yeah you are my safety net / When the changes are / Just too hard to bear / You are there / You are there

There's pictures in the magazines / And adverts on our TV screens / Telling us that what we want we get / Even though we know it's not enough / To have the world and not have love / Sometimes we forget / And how do we know / That this is home / How do we know / That this is home Now society is chasing dreams / Of everything they think they need / Like money, power and success / And. When they're running out of time / They'll look at this way down the line / And think it's all a mess / And what have we done / To show our love / What have we done / To show our love What's the point / In gaining the world / If you're just going to lose your soul / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you end up less than whole / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you're just going to lose your soul / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you end up less than whole People from the right and from the left / Are trying to tell me what is best / And how to get the most out of life / And they're making up these foolish dreams / Like something from a movie scene / And telling themselves / It's alright / Why can't they see / This isn't real / Why can't hey see / It isn't real What's the point / In gaining the world / If you're just going to lose your soul / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you end up less than whole / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you're just going to lose your soul / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you end up less than whole What's the point / In gaining the world / If you're just going to lose your soul / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you end up less than whole / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you're just going to lose your soul / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you end up less than whole What's the point / In gaining the world / If you're just going to lose your soul / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you end up less than whole / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you're just going to lose your soul / What's the point / In gaining the world / If you end up less than whole

She came up from the gutter / And she still has the scars to show / All she wants is a better life / For her son / Better than she has known / So she tells him he is her angel / And she loves him with all of her heart / And she tells him the future's bright / Yeah you're going far And she does the best she can / Though she knows it's not enough / And she does it all for him / Yeah she does it all for love / Does it all for love / And she gives him what she can / Though she knows it won't go far / Yeah she gives him what she has / And says follow your heart / You could be a star She walks with him to school / Just to make sure that he goes / 'Cause she wants him to be clever / And know things she doesn't know / So she pays for music lessons / 'Cause she wants him to be bright / Even though they can't afford it / She says it'll be fine / Yeah it'll be alright And she does the best she can / Though she knows it's not enough / And she does it all for him / Yeah she does it all for love / Does it all for love / And she gives him what she can / Though she knows it won't go far / Yeah she gives him what she has / And says follow your heart / You could be a star / You'd could be a star / You could be a star Oh he became a star / With his name in lights / But he gave it all up / Without a fight / 'Cause he felt so alone / And he felt so lost / Oh he won his fame / But at such a cost / And as she listens to his final song / She wonders where it all went wrong / 'Cause he had everything / This world had to give / And still felt no reason to live / Oh still his life felt meaningless / Oh still his life felt meaningless And she did the best she could / But it wasn't enough / And she did it all for him / Yeah she did it all for love / Did it all for love / And she gave him what she could / Though she knew it wouldn't go too far / Gave him what she had / And said follow your heart / You could be a star / You could be a star / You could be a star

I get impatient, I get upset / When things don't seem to go my way and are not what I expect / I get complacent when everything's okay / And it takes a while to remember why that smile is on my face / It’s because you love me just as I am / It’s because I know I'm part of your plan Take me just as I am / Please take me and make me of use to you / Take me just as I am / All my faults and all my flaws / Take them Lord and make them yours, yours / And make me more like you I get knocked over by wanting to be right / And I'm surrounded by a world that says I'm not worth the fight / But I am confident 'cause I have a hope / And there's a God who loves me whether I am sinking or afloat / Yes I know he loves me for who I am / And I know he's got me in the palm of his hand / So Lord ake me just as I am / Please take me and make me of use to you / Take me just as I am / All my faults and all my flaws / Take them Lord and make them yours, yours / And make me more like you You are everything to me / And you, yes you, are the reason I breathe / And you take time to take care of me / So you are the reason I sing / Oh yeah you, you are everything to me / And you, yes you, are the reason I breathe / And you take time to take care of me / So you are the reason I sing / ‘Cause you've given me everything / Oh yeah you are the reason I sing / ‘Cause Jesus, you are my King So take me just as I am / Please take me and make me of use to you / Take me just as I am / All my faults and all my flaws / Take them Lord and make them yours Take me just as I am / Please take me and make me of use to you / Take me just as I am / All my faults and all my flaws / Take them Lord and make them yours, yours / And make me more like you

You look across a crowded room / And see two eyes looking back at you / So you look away hurriedly / 'Cause you're scared of what seems to you to be / The most beautiful eyes you've ever seen / And you're afraid of what that means / So you avoid the chance / To take your life in your hands / And look back Now the music's playing loud / And you can't help glancing through the crowd / And your eyes meet hers again / Which makes your heart stop beating / 'Cause those beautiful eyes are clear and blue / And you wonder if she knows what she does to you / Oh what would it take / For you to find a way / To say to her Can I have this dance / Can I take this chance and take your hands / Can I have this dance / With you / 'Cause I saw you from across the room / So if you don't have other plans / Can I have this dance / This dance Now the ceremony has been and gone / And you're man and wife for your whole life long / You're thinking how you've come so far / And you're the luckiest man to be who you are / 'Cause those beautiful eyes will meet yours each day / And you don't ever want to look away / So hold out your hand to her / And say Can I have this dance / Can I take this chance and take your hands / Can I have this dance / With you / 'Cause if seems the only thing to do / Given the circumstances / Can I have this dance / This dance Now time has passed and you're getting old / You keep forgetting what you should know / But one thing you'll never forget / Is the way you felt when you first met / And those beautiful eyes are still bright blue / And she still means the world to you / So take every moment you have / And say darling Can I have this dance / Can I take this chance and take your hands / Can I have this dance / With you / 'Cause time is slipping away from us / And this could be our last / So thank you for the plans / And thanks for the romance / But time is slipping away from us / And this could be our last / So most of all / Thank you for the dance

On an island / All alone / Singing to yourself / 'Cause you're far from home / Ain't got no worries / Got no cares / Don't have to think about life's affairs / And you're singing 'cause no one else is around / No humdrum to drown you out / Dancing 'cause you got the space to move / And you're singing / You're singing Memories floating round your head / Of when life was hard / When you were struggling / And you're dancing / 'Cause you don't have that anymore / So take the good with the bad / And be grateful for what you have / And you'll find that you can / Sing when other people are around / And then sing it loud like

Busy 04:03
It's a busy world full of busy people, just running from day to day / And it's a proud world full of proud little people who never mean what they say / And it takes all kinds of people to make a world / So why are we all the same? / We’re just tiny people in a big wide world full of pain And it's a tired place full of tired people who never seem to rest / And it's a world of ideals that isn't ideal at best / And if you walked around the world sometime you'd see what's on the other side / And still you'd see a mess / ‘Cause it's a broken world that's broken from east to west Oh it's a fallen world and we're all falling / It’s a crazy world and we're all losing our minds, one at a time It's a lonely world full of lonely people who try to hide away / And it's a sad world full of sad people who smile anyway / And if you looked into their hearts you'd find that what is really on their minds / Is what makes them afraid / ‘Cause it's a big, wide, broken world, full of pain / Oh it's a big, wide, broken world full of pain / And it'll be a big, wide, broken world until we change

He's a travelling musician / He’s been travelling for years and years / And he's seen many places, many times / He’ll play for anyone who'll listen / And he'll play just to make someone smile / So if you have the time Listen to his story, listen to his song / He’ll remind you of before everything went wrong / And the world learnt how to cry / He won't give you all the answers / But his question is clear / Do you have the time to listen while you're here? He's a traveller by nature / And he travels from town to town / Just to make sure his music goes around / He’ll sing no matter where he is / And he'll sing even if there's only one / Who wants to sing along Some things never change / I know he'll always be just what he's been / Now I can't see his face / But I still hear his melody Listen to his story, listen to his song / He’ll remind you of before everything went wrong / And the world learnt how to cry / He won't give you all the answers / But his question is clear / Do you have the time to listen while you're here? / Can you find the time to listen while you're here?
