Song Lyrics About Hope & Love
You're Not Alone
When your thoughts are buildin’ up And you're scared of what’s to come You’re not alone When you can’t escape the night And you're not sure what is right You’re not alone When it’s time to start somethin’ And it just can’t wait no more You’re not alone You wanna start a revolution Make it better than before You’re not alone Join our hearts together We need this more than ever Sing in unison, "we’re one." Don't cry Hang tight We're gonna set things right (you're not alone) Hold out Shout loud We're gonna drown it out (you're not alone) No fear We're near We're gonna make it clear (you're not alone) It's time Sunrise You'll be alright.
Better Off Being Me
On quiet nights, to pass the time We’d write a song A simple rhyme Our words would light up the sky Together, our souls would take flight The rising sun, a new day’s begun Am I enough? What will I become? Afraid sometimes to journey on my own But dreaming big, of places yet unknown Your life may feel harder than everything People may demand that you concede But look deep inside, swim against the tide In these words you'll have everything you need "I'm better off being me" Better off being me Who am I? Is now the time? Where will I go? Will everything be alright? I’ve got a mind that ever burns more bright And a smile that sets the world alight Today may feel longer than anything Tomorrow seems impossible to reach Though I'm filled with doubt Alone in the crowd I'll be ok as long as I believe That I'm better off being me Better off being me The songs I've sung The ones I've loved Where I've gone And everything that I've done I will define each moment in time Dreaming things that only I conceive I'll stand by your side, our hearts intertwined 'Cause sometimes we all need a we I’m better off being me Better off being me Better off being me Better off being me.
Mother's Day
Dear mother, can we talk a while? Reminisce about all that we've done I know life can be hard sometimes But you raised a good son I know it's been such a long, long time But there's so much that I want to say So I wrote you this song for Mother's Day Hey mama, come sit down with me We always hoped this day would come You raised me to share my heart and soul And I want you to meet someone She's the jewel of my loving eye And we've got a little one the way I hope this will brighten your Mother's Day It's a love unlike any other The bond between a mother and son Together, you and I, we discovered A whole world that made me what I've become No matter what may come to us tomorrow In my heart you will ever stay So I sing you these words I send you my love I wrote you this song for Mother's Day You raised me to know what's right You gave me the strength to stand and fight Whether near or far, for all you are I wrote you this song I hope you will sing along.
Can My Life Mean Something More?
Another night, alone again The TV news my only friend Tells me everyone's an enemy Endless loneliness my destiny Another day ahead of me An endless range of possibilities Will I learn to take each chance? To rise up and make demands? Is there someone I don't know? Is there somewhere else to go? Can my life mean something more? Are new horizons just beyond the storm? If I hold my line and sing my score Can I end the hardship and injustice that I can't ignore? Tell me why. Give me a sign. Can my life mean something more? Can darkened hallways lead to open doors? I'll take my time. Unlearn. Explore. I can't keep living like I have been anymore.
By Your Side
In progress...
Chorus
Take my hand, hold it tight
I'll always be by your side
It's you and me, do or die
I'll always be by your side
Songs About Politics
The world is in trouble. Capitalism has got to go. Genocide is no good.
From the River to the Sea
It seems like a million miles away. We think about it every day. And yet do nothing, only hope and pray. How could this have come to be? We must speak up or it will never cease. The answer lies in you and me. Rekindle our humanity. Admit what we can see. One day soon you must decide. Will you be complicit in this genocide? Or fight to keep these words alive? From the river to the sea From the river to the sea From the river to the sea Palestine will be free!
Revolution Day
Tonight the time is right to go a different direction. We’ve got to break off from the past. But take time, look over your shoulder, derive some strength. This system simply couldn’t last. Conflict’s not our nature, diversity’s our strength. To change the way we see each other is the first step we must take. Framing needs within one’s interests, scrounging for some change. Only strengthens the enemy, and adds one to the chain. When you look in the mirror and see yourself in terms of what you have, you fail to bring the lasting change that history serves up as it wastes away. It’s Revolution Day. No, it’s not too late: ownership by masses is our fate. Society that’s classless still awaits. Today the day has come to change our course. There’s no change without struggle now, it’s overthrown by force. We’ve got strength in numbers, and our voices will be heard. So escalate! Eliminate the heart of those we serve. And we’ll look in the mirror and see our ourselves: arise, the working class. And you know we’ll bring the lasting change that history serves up as it wastes away. It’s Revolution Day. No, it’s not too late: ownership by masses is our fate. Society that’s classless still awaits. It’s Revolution Day. Not to say that violence is the end, but the message we must send: oppression won’t die peacefully. Yeah, we know this struggle never ends, but for me and all my friends today’s the day! It’s Revolution Day.
Someday
Another day, another bad mistake Too fast, too much on my plate Going nowhere, and wasting time again Never feeling that this could ever end But in my mind there's another time, another day, another place And I know that I can make it there someday Someday - I'll live my life for me Someday - I'll get back on my feet Someday - I really wanna believe Someday - I'll be who I wanna be Look around, you know there's something wrong Honestly, you've known it all along Feels like the end is coming fast Act now, today may be your last If you can dream it, you can achieve it, someday Someday - Justice will be in reach Someday - That fucker will be impeached Someday - Palestine will be free Someday - We'll live in peace Let's start today!
Peace, Land, Bread
We were young Anger growing in our hearts for so long Our sacred vow to give our all in days to come coursing through our blood It now was close enough to touch We’d never known how much we’d sacrifice to sing this song We drink to peace, land, bread All power to the Soviet Entrust ourselves to change the world we’re living in To the workers’ revolution! Let’s begin We were one Embrace your comrades and unite in love Shed the prison of past bonds, my son Reach out to the crowd, and shout out loud We fight for peace, land, bread Ploughshares to the peasants for the land we’ve won Arise the proletariat, for peace, land and bread With solace in the knowledge that the rich will choke our rivers with their dead in the end Proclaiming: the Motherland is calling Orating: shed your chains and the whole world will be free!
Sad Songs
Some love songs are sad.
Release Me
When I stand in the place where we began I can close my eyes and hold your hand All the pain in the world is left behind But when light returns the feeling dies and I stand alone Inside my mind that's so attuned to to grey Travelling forward only finds the same I never seem to leave that place I live between the thought of you and me embraced When I stand in the place where we began See myself through eyes that understand All the fear in the world is left to die But when thought returns I'm left deprived Alone and wondering why my mind is so attuned to grey Travelling forward only finds the same I never seem to leave that place I live between the thought of you and me embraced You're the only one who finds simple words and long goodbyes so relieving Please release me You're the only one who breaks simple joys for sympathies so completely Please god release me Your the only one who craves time's relentless forward pace Still believing Please release me. Because I'm the one who drowns When you stand the world falls down all around me Please god release me from this cell.
Early Night
Sunny day or pissing rain To me it's all the same 'Cause in my house it's grey And I cannot escape No summertime retreat, save for pissing on the seat and an early of sleep God, I wanna go back I need to buy some smokes 25 cigarettes The toxins in my chest supress my hunger and ease the pain of Sunday afternoons Convince myself that you're gonna be home soon Just not tonight Another day of endless rain I'll never by the same My whole world is grey and there is no escape. No summertime treat I'll just suffer endlessly An early night of sleep God, I wanna go back But back to what? I can't recall. Sometime earlier this Fall when everything seemed right. It's gonna be an early night I'm totally beat You'll find me sleeping on the street An early night for me.
