1. At Night I Pray


So alone
And this room feel so cold
No one to care and no one to hold
Yet the Lord knows
That I'm needing somebody like you, just like you

Can you see
The passion burning in my eyes
Do you sense
The rush you give my heart
And if you knew
The secret way I feel for you
Would you come running to me or would you turn away

At night I pray (pray)
With hope and faith (faith)
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray together we will be (at night I pray)
And there will come a time (pray)
You will be mine, all mine
And I'll be yours, always
But until that day comes at night I'll pray

Should I feel
These emotions inside me
Should I reveal what's locked up in my soul
I'm so afraid
But it's something that you've got to know got to know

How I want to touch you everytime you're near
I long to feel
Your body next to mine
And if you knew
The secret love I have for you
Would you come running to me or would you turn away

At night I pray (pray)
With hope and faith (faith)
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray together we will be (at night I pray)
And there will come a time (pray)
You will be mine, all mine
And I'll be yours, always
But until that day comes at night I'll pray

If all my prayers were answered Our heart would be enraptured
We would find our heaven
Inside each other's arms

This lonely room would finally see the sun shine through
But until that day every night I'll pray
I'll get down on my knees, I'll get down on me knees and pray...
Pray

With hope and faith (faith)
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray together we will be (at night I pray)
And there will come a time, (pray)
You will be mine, all mine (and I'll be yours)
And I'll be yours always, but until that day comes at night I pray
Until that day comes at night I pray (Oh yeah)
And until that day comes at night I pray


2.Supernatural


Supernatural love, Supernatural

Love like a river,
Flowing deeper than time
Rushing over my senses,
Like sweet cherry wine

Stole my emotion,
Like a thief in the night
Love made me an offer,
I couldn't deny

You raise me up until I can't see the ground
Wanna tell the whole world about this love that I found

Supernatural love
You're giving me
Supernatural high
Oh keep on giving me
Heaven sent from above
Heaven sent from above
Supernatural love
Oh, supernatural

I'd like the thank you
For changing my world
You made a woman
From a lost little girl

My soul was searching
Searching to find
Something to cherish
A love so divine

I'm hypnotized by feelings I've never felt
It's like your magic put me under a spell
Supernatural love
You're giving me
Supernatural high
Oh keep on giving me
Heaven sent from above
Heaven sent from above
Supernatural love

3.I Won't Play The Fool


The stage is set so let the curtain rise
As for the ending my dear that's for me to decide
You may think you know the role that I play
You'll be so surprised when it's not that way

I won't play the fool anymore
This time I'll walk out the door
And leave you standing here all alone
This time I'll find on my own
Someone who loves me

Cause I, I won't play the fool anymore oh no no

No more dramatic scenes, only a short goodbye
To all the lonely nights to all the good times
I found it in my heart to love

Now I must find the strength to go
Too late for happy endings,
Now it's time you know
It's time you know - it's time you know

I won't play the fool anymore
This time I'll walk out the door
And leave you standing here all alone
This time I'll find on my own
Someone who loves me

So let me dry your eyes, it's gonna be all right
But understand me when I say
It's time that we make a change

You don't have to lie no more - try no more

Cause baby one thing's for sure...

I won't play the fool anymore
This time I'll walk out the door
And leave you standing here all alone
This time I'll find on my own
Someone who loves me

I won't play the fool anymore
I can't let you keep breaking my heart baby


4.Talk To Me


Talk to me
Talk to me
Talk to me tonight about love

Hey now just what are we feeling
Is this more than attraction that we both are dealing with?
And is it in the cards that we stay together?
I recognize the odds against it lasting forever

There's a message that you're sending
I can see it in your eyes
But I don't know what you're thinking
I can't read your heart or mind

Come with me we'll make tonight a fantasy
If you say the word, I'll take you on a journey

Talk to me, tell me what's on your mind
Talk to me, what are you feeling inside
Talk to me, what are you thinking of
Talk to me, tonight about love

Come and talk to me, my baby
Come and talk to me

Ooh, hold me right up against you
Cause when you groove up close to me
I'm feeling your rhythm
Just whisper in my ear what's going on inside you
I just wanna hear if you're feeling like I do

Open up your heart there's nothing I want more
Show me the light and tell me what you came here for

Don't keep it to yourself, just improvise (just improvise)
Lose yourself, let out what you're feeling inside

Talk to me, tell me what's on your mind
Talk to me, what are you feeling inside
Talk to me, what are you thinking of
Talk to me, tonight about love

There's a message that you're sending
I can see it in your eyes
But I don't know what you're thinking
I can't read your heart or mind
If you wanna make tonight a fantasy
Just say the word I'll take you on a journey

Talk to me, tell me what's on your mind
Talk to me, what are you feeling inside
Talk to me, what are you thinking of
Talk to me, tonight about love

Talk to me, tell me that you want this
Talk to me, baby just move your lips
Talk to me, what are you thinking of
Talk to me, tonight about love

Come and talk to me, my baby
Come and talk to me


5. The River


Moving on baby
I went to the river, thinkin bout jumpin in
Thinkin about your ways baby
Trying to forget how to swim

As I stood there, watching the train go by
Oh what a message - that's when I realized

Oh baby, is it gonna last very long
Look at the river and how it keeps movin on
Oh baby, what we had is almost gone
Look at the river and how it keeps movin on

Movin on
Would you just look at the river
Movin on

My emotions move with the current and the wind
No direction, and no definite end
That's when I realized how the ripples in the water seemed to shine
Reminds me of you and I baby, at one point in time

And just like a river - like a river flowin - into a waterfall (Stef and Renee)
After falling are we movin on -inside I feel - I can feel it flow

Oh baby, is it gonna last very long
Look at the river look at it how it keeps movin on and movin on
Oh baby, what we had is almost gone
Look at the river and how it keeps movin on

Under the train bridge - it keeps movin on
Goes round to the whirlpool - it keeps movin on
No still waters baby, are gonna hold me down
And all I wanna know is - are you comin with me

I have got to keep moving on
Moving on yeah
Moving on I said
Moving on

Oh baby, is it gonna last very long
Look at the river look at it how it keeps movin on and movin on
Oh baby, what we had is almost gone
Look at the river and how it keeps movin on

Moving, moving
moving, moving
moving, moving
Would you just look at the river

Moving on
Moving on I said

Moving, moving
moving
moving, moving
baby
moving, moving
Would you just look, look at the river

Moving on
Moving on I said


6.You Don't Own Me


There we were
On a Sunday afternoon
Just holding hands
Lover making future plans together
We thought forever, forever, yeah...

Now here we are
The hand that used to hold me gently
Doesn't know when to let me go
It holds too tight now
And we just fight now
Where is the love

You don't own me
Can't control me
I'm not gonna change for nobody

You don't own me
You can't chain me down
If I'm the one you love
Then set me free
Set me free

Side by side
We should walk together
See love eye to eye
Remember all the reasons why you love me

Strength within me
Can't tie it down

You're not my mother
Not my father
You're supposed to be my lover
Not my sister
Not my brother
Gotta be more than just another

Another guy forgettin the combination to my heart
Just another page inside of a book without a mark

Love won't be my ball and chain
Driving me insane
Cause you're holdin me down
Holdin me down
Stop holdin me down down down

You don't own me
Can't control me
I'm not gonna change for nobody
No,no

You don't own me
I'm not chained babe.
If I'm the one you love
Then set me free
Set me free

You only call me when I want you to [x8]

You don't own me
You can't control me
I'm not gonna change for nobody
no no

You don't own me
I'm not chained babe.
If I'm the one you love
Then set me free

You're not my mother
Not my father
You're supposed to be my lover
Not my sister
Not my brother
Gotta be more than just another

Another guy forgettin the combination to my heart
Just another page inside of a book without a mark

You don't own me
You can't control me
If you love me,
set me free.

You don't own me
Then set me free
Set me free

10.Love Will Wait


Lying here alone with you
So able to be free
How easy it would be
To give you all of me

I'm closer to you now
Closer than I have ever been before
As my body starts to give it all
My heart stops to be sure that

Love Will Wait
More than just a minute
I'm telling you that
Love Will Wait

It holds what lies within it
And time will only help us grow
And when we let these feelings go
Waiting there will be love

I feel the ticking of your heart
It's beating so close to mine
Still I don't want to go too far
Until I know that it's right

Someday when we explore
When we explore the world that's yet unknown
The beauty of it will be worth
The patience that we've shown

Love Will Wait (Love Will Wait)
More than just a minute (More than just a minute)
I'm telling you that (It holds what lies within)
Time can only help us grow and when we let these feelings go
Waiting there will be love

We've both been there before
At times too blind to see
That love will wait (Love will wait)

And when I open up my eyes
I see your face still smiles
That's when I know that ...

Love Will Wait (Love Will Wait)
I'm telling you that (Love Will Wait)
Time can only help us grow and when we let these feelings go
Waiting there will be love (Love Will Wait)

(More than just a minute) (More than just a minute)
I'm telling you that (Love Will Wait) (It holds what lies within)
Time can only help us grow and when we let these feelings go
Waiting there will be love


11.Life


(A duration of an earthly existance)
(A specific phase of earthly existance)
(A sentence of imprisonment with the remaining quotient of a convicts existance)
(Life is a sequence of musical and mental experiences that make up the existance of an individual)

A sister wants a brother
Always trying to please another
Young girls wish that they were old
A petal wants to be its own rose

See life has such funny ways
But don't regret you came
See life is always changing
Yet life remains the same
So much to gain...

To win...to lose...to try
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life
To heal...to feel...to be real
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life

(Life, your life)

Empty pages will find words someday (someday)
A perfect person will disobey
You may never find true love
Why must one be taken advantage of...

See life has such funny ways
But don't regret you came
See life is always changing
Yet still remains the same
So much to gain

To win...to lose...to try
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life
To laugh...to cry...to never
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life
To learn...to hope...to dream...to cope
To heal...reveal...to feel...to be real
It's all a part of life

Oh no, not without a fight
I won't give up...I won't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up
Sequence of physical and spiritual experience
Don't give up
Vital and functional - distinctly individual
Don't give up
Pattern of principal existing in reality
Don't give up
Of or relating to the animal mentality
Don't
