You take me places I've never seen with my own eyes With no hesitation You came and you taught me how to fly Some people find love But lose it by walking cautiously But you see me I've got no patience Now that you have piqued my curiosity And I just can't wait I just can't wait I'm 'bout to break It's been so long Can't hold my breathe Got nothing left I'm about to explode Straight out the oven babe I can't even wait for it to cool down I'm intoxicated I can't help it Just a fool when you're around And as long As our feelings grow Why should we waste our time And take it slow No one knows what the future holds But we'll both be fine This time If we just let go You made it real Something that once - was just a dream Now that I know What I can have I'm not settlin' for just anything I looked into your eyes and see you looking back in mine And that's moment I realized it was almost time And I just can't No I just can't wait

Gone 03:54
I'm gone I'm leavin’ here today Gonna get so far away That all the bad days that I've known will never find me So long to the life I used to live Though I kept it positive, Been there and done that and there's so much more to see I know that it's time for me to grow I gotta get out this fish bowl And go and test my fins by swimmin’ in the sea So now I'm I'm gone Said I gotta leave Said I'm gone Let go Like a kite without a string Pack light, left everything 'Cause when I get there I'll have all that I could need and I won't give up my window seat I wanna see my destiny While maintainin' altitude and steady speed Explore like a place I've never been Feels good to breathe again And in my book of life a new chapter begins Now that I'm Chorus Why think small When the world is just so big And I got so much to give Nothing to lose left my excuses are way behind me It's my boat So I chose to raise the sail 'Cause I knew it couldn't fail And where I'm goin' you gon’ need a map to find me I'm sure Some folks gon’ disagree But I know what's best for me And if you wanna You can feel free to talk about me when I'm gone Chorus I'm leavin' on the next plane, I know that I won't be back again So much I got to see But your welcome to follow me I'm leavin' on the next plane, I know that I won't be back again So much I got to see But if you chose to follow me Then we're gone

Composure 05:25
It begins, we met as friends workin' on the job Can't pretend even back then I watched you from afar You learn me, I'll study you highlight my favorite parts The stars aligned yours and mine perfect from the start Though I barely know ya I lose all composure when I'm with you through prolonged exposure love me and escape in somethin' new My eyes were closed and you took my hand and led me through the dark said happiness may all depend on where you place your heart You welcomed me with open arms when my ship hit your shore in this world we're livin' in there's just one thing left that's pure Let's take a journey come on let's get away (love will be our guide) no reservations just pack up and go (love me, get there) just love me when we get there You helped me express the things that my words could never say The day you opened and you let me in I knew heaven wasn't far away

And I know that this is where it's at and that's a fact Cause All the signs point straight to you And in a world of many faces so many different places I'm just glad that I found true love Now, First thing, it's not luck or coincidence not by chance or an accident The Most High placed us both here for a reason And I'd go across the seas the continents travel through time if that would get rid of the space between us In times of old wise men would follow the stars your light it shines so bright it led me to where you are got your coordinates dialed in so many places that I've been not one to call my own but now I've finally found my home Well this life is filled with mysteries but sometimes we're given clues without the gps or the internet I found my way to you 'long the way I hit some roadblocks babe detours I faced a few but it the end it was all worth it cause it brought me back to you

Showya 04:30
I can see your star from miles away Especially late at night when you're out to play And I can tell your ready by the way you move I'm getting all excited just watching you And I just wanna show you things you've never seen In all your wildest dreams So baby just enjoy yourself Sit back, relax we're on our way Our way to ecstasy At times you've felt as distant as the Milky Way But luckily for me that's not the case today I'm on a secret mission to your heart To give you what you been missin' from the start Even in an overcrowded room When our eyes meet it's just me and you Girl your invitation’s got me high A former constellation now your mine Show me the shortest route To get me from here to you

My Door 04:47
I used to sit by the window Watchin' the days go by Seemed to me Life could be simple If I never stepped outside The walls I used For strength and protection Somehow seemed to trap me in So on the day You offered to rescue me I knew I had to let you in When you- You knocked on my door It was such a good feelin' that I Couldn't ask For anything more And for the first time I put my heart in someone's hands Not worried what the future might lead me to 'Cause when you came You told me I should be prepared 'Cause the walls might crumble down But we can take the pieces and build somethin' new The sun shined my way When I met you So warm and so bright This is - For all of the clouds you had to get through To be in my life It's like you freed me When you came in And you always had the key
7.
Sail Thru 04:26
Baby, All of the world's a toy for you And I'm your play thing As you see fit do what you do You can have me Right out the box, girl I'm brand new No exceptions Once you realize there are no rules All along the way, Problems seem to fade from view I knew on the day I met you, we'd sail right thru Lady, Everyday you prove to me There are wonders Hands can't take hold of, eyes can't see Just imagine All of the possibilities When your sadness, opens it's arms and sets you free Maybe, Maybe the sun won't rise tomorrow And you can call me crazy But wherever you go I'd still follow More sights to see Than pictures you find in magazines And you’re my personal guide to everything

Let's start a Love Revolution change the system to change the future We cry freedom free to love, we're free free to sleep around and do the things we please but where's our reason can't we see by now consequence has shown us love ain't really free now, I know there's been some changes different stages love has gone and made it through but I can't help but feel it's dangerous the path we go down now will show us no returns think back two generations man the family structure was so different then Now fast forward to the present where the single parent home is prominent cause we got babies having babies seems temptation and pleasure have become best friends but without love we got nothing cause it's the foundation on which the whole world depends

The Road 04:04
It’s time to leave Packed up all my favorite things Storms can come my way, bring clouds I'm not afraid 'Cause I believe, this will be my destiny Storms that send down rain also bring winds of change Finally, feel like I can spread my wings Destination’s clear though my flight's been delayed 'Cause time and time again I've found That once your feet come off the ground You can't help but find the strength To break loose from the chains That held you from your dreams The road has been testin' me But it won't get the best of me I was lost for a little while But that’s over now, it's up to me I'm turning my life around, So it won't ever get me down Took a while just to figure out It was always up to me Used to be I questioned every move I made Things that mean the most are quick to test your faith While I could see the picture clearly in my head I always worried that I might run out of paint And then suddenly, like a day brand new All my colors began to fall in place Filling all my voids, I'm overjoyed Made a difference in my life And led me to the place I wanna be And it took me some time, but now I realize We're defined in life by roles we choose to play While I can breathe I'm gonna do everything I can To make the most of mine while I’m still on the stage 'Cause no one really knows what the future holds You're not promised another day You owe it to yourself, If for no one else To make the changes in your life That get you to the place you need to be

Nowhere 04:20
I wouldn't leave If you begged me to go how could I leave you when you need me most? fairweather people in and out of your life have tried there best to extinguish your light but when I was a seed you you helped me to grow so I offer my shoulders to carry your load I heard you reap all that you sow When your crops come in you'll harvest gold and just like the trees do our roots run deep so time cannot steal all of our memories so you go head and sleep now it'll be alright cause when you awake I'll be right by your side In my mind I can see just how it's gonna go they're gonna throw a parade for you when they welcome you home and life without you at first will be cold but I'll have your memories to warm up my soul and I'll hold you down like a torch holds a flame and make sure the world will remember your name

Saturday 03:58
We live everyday like Saturday We let all our - Cares Away Now’s our chance to -Get away 'Cause everyday is like Saturday Woke up didn't punch the clock Got my good foot out the shop And tonight's the night we go steppin' If want some you can come get it Dressed up like we 'bout to play Guest list we ain't got to pay So go head on and pop yo’ collar 'Cause we ain't goin' to work tomorrow We’re pimped out so we take it back To 8 tracks and a Cadillac Where your shades and your glass stay tinted If you stare you'll see yourself in it So let's toast to the good life 'Cause we know what it look like And mothership’s still comin' When it lands I'm gon' get on it One of these Saturday's If you live by the check to check Or make enough just to pay your rent You deserve a brief intermission To enjoy this life you've been givin' Let go try and have some fun Hands up like your touchin' the sun And it ain't gonna end today 'Cause we live everyday as if it's Saturday One of these days is not the same One of them'll knock you right out the frame Into something that your not used to doin’ But do you, man it’s up to you I mean, is this life here really what it seem We light up the floor like MJ do Billie Jean Game recognize game -Tell ‘em take a picture But do it fast ‘fo Saturday’s get ya

Girl, I know you’re tired Of guys approachin' with the same old lines What you deserve, is so much more You need a person of a different kind 'Cause you've waited nearly all your life In hope that someone would play your favorite song So when you hear it, I hope you realize, That it's the one that I've played all along There are all kinds of things Big and small And you and I were made to have it all And there are all kinds of people in this world, But it begins with just one boy and girl It's just beginning, but I'm convinced, Our lives will change with just a simple kiss That when repeated, over space and time, Will bring us closer to our happiness. We can chase our cares away Waste no time lets go today Girl I know in time We'll add our pieces to this great design And when it's finished We'll sit back and laugh About the parts that seemed so hard to find Couldn't pick a better place This is where I wanna stay We've got the rest of our lives To explore this Even if just one night let's enjoy this

If these walls could talk Oh what they'd say They'd tell the story of my life I lost my dad as a little boy --momma, she had to 2 pairs of shoes to fill saved up her money, got her spirit right bought us a house up on a hill new friends new school, new way of life everythang we once knew had changed (but they say) whateva don't break ya was sent to you to make ya stronger in the end and we were never the same And after school, on the porchtop we used to dance and talk bout how we's gon make it big I moved into the basement bought myself equipment then built the studio my dreams aint changed since I was a kid I can remember my first love, first kiss, first time I ever ...... (don't you say it) mistakes heartaches, Man growin up was so amazin' and in the mist of it all we climb and we fall but I know that I wouldn't change a thing from my baby teeth into puberty I was so shy that I could hardly speak used to cut my hair in the bathroom sink summers in JA with my family mind went to places you could never know nights I was writin, but was all alone doubt filled my mind but it's no surprise I dreamed alot with open eyes but something that made it all worth the while were the songs inside when they came to life and if you look you'll find that every house has stories but this one is mine We've seen ups and we've seen downs seen our lives turned all around but one thing there's no shortage of is memories and love

Seasons 03:06
Our yesterday's, so far away So many words that are hard to say But all this time, should've told you somethin' 'Cause now it feels like it's all or nothing So long we’ve been upon this roller coaster Where we travel far never gettin' closer In line for the merry go round But the fair has let us down Season's they might come and go For reasons that we may never know And people grow and move apart On their way back to the start So here we are, no more reservations I need you to know, I want you for my lady To share my world, I know it ain’t perfect But it's easier with someone who's worth it If we just take us for a spin again I can guarantee that we'll see the end I'm lost when you’re not around And this is what I've found
