High
Composer(s): Thomas Thörnholm - Lars Andersson - Dan Attlerud
First performance by: Knut Anders Sørum - 2004
I have tried every way
To get to the heart of your soul
'Cause everything that you deny
Could be there if you let me know
I wanna heal every wound in you
To finally make you believe
High, over the rain
There's still a sun that could ease all your pain
I always try holding your heart
Bringing you high
Try to make you see the light
When sorrow grows deep in your mind
And seize the day, not asking why
There is so much for you to find
I wanna bring you the wings to fly
To never be broken again
Oh... high (high), over the rain (over the rain)
There's still a sun that could ease all your pain (ease all your pain)
I always try (try), holding your heart (holding your heart)
Bringing you high (bringing you so high)
I just wanna open your closing mind
Your life can't be worth all your sacrifice
There is a light over you
Please let it through (let it through)
High (high), over the rain (over the rain)
There's still a sun that could ease all your pain (ease all your pain)
I always try (try), holding your heart (holding your heart)
Bringing you high (bringing you high)
Oh... (bringing you high)
High (high), over the rain (over the rain)
There's still a sun that could ease all your pain (ease all your pain)
I always try (try), holding your heart (holding your heart)
Bringing you high (bringing you high)
Bringing you high
Here But I'm Gone Composer(s): Marqueze Etheridge; Andrea Martin; Ivan Matias; Curtis Mayfield; Organized Noize Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield
How did I get so far gone Where do I belong And where in the world did I ever go wrong If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone Porched up in a rocking-chair With my feet all bare Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap Live an adolescent mind never do take the time Waiting for my high, quiet as it's kept How did I get so far gone Where do I belong And where in the world did I ever go wrong If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone Mama told me I was best Argue and punch in my chest Son now be strong, let me take you home I'd see in her eyes so sincere Screaming, what got me here Standing in the world and with my mind all blown How did I get so far gone Where do I belong And where in the world did I ever go wrong If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone Where do I belong And where in the world did I ever go wrong If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone I do nothing but waste all my time Leaving the world behind Smoking my crack just to keep me high Around the boys I play my part rough Keep myself tough enough Never to cry Don't really want to die How did I get so far gone Where do I belong And where in the world did I ever go wrong If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone Where do I belong And where in the world did I ever go wrong If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone

Here Again Composer(s): Geddy Lee; Alex Lifeson Performer(s): Rush; Joe Harvard Band
I said I played this song so many times before That the melody keeps repeating Growing new ideas, flowing chords and notes Like a mountain river bleeding
Well, I say as I look back at all the thoughts I've had They reflect just what I'm learning Yes, you know that the hardest part, yes, I say it is to stay on top On top of a world forever churning
Well, you say you can laugh, but I can see that your eyes are glass Well, do you see, can't you see, what I'm feeling? Yes, I've seen your face before Why, I've seen it everywhere Showing up to me without a scent revealing
Well, I said will it ever change? Will it stay the same? I'd surely like to know before it's over Well, I said I played some I said it won't be long Won't be long before I stop and play it over
You know I've, I've seen your face before Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again? Oh, oh, I've, I've been in one place too long Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?
Diese Stille, die ich hab, immer wenn du bei mir bist Diese pure Fantasie, diese Kraft, die du nur gibst Diese kleinen Glücksmomente, die du mir so zahlreich gibst Immer fehlen dann die Worte, weil es ohne dich nichts gibt
Wenn du traurig bist, dann wein ich mit dir mit Wenn du schläfst, dann träum ich mit dir mit
Du bist das Lieben, das ich lieb Du hast das Lachen, das ich brauch Du bist der Stern am Sternenzelt Und was ich sonst noch alles brauch Das bist du auch
Du bist ein Wahnsinns-Optimist, für diese Grenzen unbekannt Für dich ist jeder Wunsch ein Ziel und meine Träume werden wahr
Wenn du traurig bist, dann wein ich mit dir mit Wenn du schläfst, dann träum ich mit dir mit
Du bist das Lieben, das ich lieb Du hast das Lachen, das ich brauch Du bist der Stern am Sternenzelt Und alles andere Schöne auch Du bist die Kraft, die mich umgibt Du bist die Wärme, bist das Licht Und was ich sonst noch alles brauch Das bist du auch
Die Luft, die mir den Atem gibt Das Wunder, das man Leben nennt Das Wasser, das sich nicht verdunst Alles in einem, das bist du
Du bist das Lieben, das ich lieb Du hast das Lachen, das ich brauch Du bist der Stern am Sternenzelt Und alles andere Schöne auch Du bist die Kraft, die mich umgibt Du bist die Wärme, bist das Licht Und was ich sonst noch alles brauch Das bist du auch
Here & Now Composer(s): Steve Vai Performer(s): Steve Vai
Here we stand, as time keeps turning
near and far, the fires are burning Victory, the endless passion, for a cause, we will take an action
I'm not a savior, I'm not a king, there's only the voice in your head But I feel your anger, I speak your peace, freedom time is here
So are you ready for the here and now
Sacrifice, the soul keeps baring, bring new life to a world worth sparing
I'm not a prophet, I'm not a prince, the ego dies with the flesh You are the garden, I am the seed, harvest time is here
But tell me are you ready for the here and now
Courage, sacrifice, victory, freedom
One for all, time is fleeting, hear the call, our world is bleeding
There are no saviors, there are no kings, the power lies in your hands So, you be the fire, the light without heat, precious time is here
So tell me are you ready for the here and now, so tell me are you ready Are you ready for the here and now, so tell me are you ready Are you ready for the here and now, so tell me are you ready

Para Llenarme De Ti First performance by: Ramón - 2004
Se quedó llorando llorando su pena y bien sabe que es por ti hoy su condena
Yo la quise tanto era la sangre en mis venas sin saber que eran de otro sus lunas llenas
Y entre tu amor y su dolor hay un lamento me quemo a fuego lento me quemo a fuego lento pero mi pecho dijo adiós y ahora de nuevo brilla el sol porque tú le has dado fuego a mi corazón
Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti mi refugio será tu cuerpo y mi tierra tu vientre de trigo en flor
Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti y mi caricia será tu aliento y mi bandera la luz de tu dulce amor
Yo te voy a amar hasta el final Yo te voy a dar todito mi amor Y yo te voy a dar toda mi piel y mi vida Todo por este amor por tu amor
Y yo te voy a amar te voy a amar sin medida Y yo te voy a dar Yo me juego hasta la vida por este amor, por este amor
Hoy es tan lejana como huella en la arena su recuerdo sabe a sal y a hierbabuena
Tú me das la calma en las noches de entrega y nadie mas podrá borrar tu piel de seda
Y entre tu amor y su dolor hay un lamento me quemo a fuego lento me quemo a fuego lento pero mi pecho dijo adiós y ahora de nuevo brilla el sol porque tú le has dado fuego a mi corazón
Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti mi refugio será tu cuerpo y mi tierra tu vientre de trigo en flor
Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti y mi caricia será tu aliento y mi bandera la luz de tu dulce amor
Yo te voy a amar te voy a amar sin medida Yo te voy a dar para toda la vida Yo te voy a dar todo lo que soy, todo por este amor Yo te voy a amar te voy a dar Yo te voy a amar todo por este amor Yo te voy a amar yo te voy a amar Yo te voy a dar porque tú le has dado fuego a mi corazón
Her Town Too Composer(s): James Taylor; John David Souther; Waddy Wachtel Performer(s): James Taylor
She's been afraid to go out She's afraid of the knock on her door There's always a shade of a doubt She can never be sure Who comes to call Maybe the friend of a friend of a friend Anyone at all Anything but nothing again
It used to be her town It used to be her town too It used to be her town It used to be her town too
Seems like even her old girlfriends Might be talking her down She's got her name on the grapevine Running up and down the telephone line Talking 'bout Someone said, someone said Something 'bout something else Someone might have said about her She always figured that they were her friends But maybe they can live without her
It used to be her town It used to be her town too It used to be her town It used to be her town too
Well people got used to seeing them both together But now he's gone and life goes on Nothing lasts forever, oh no She gets the house and the garden He gets the boys in the band Some of them his friends Some of them her friends Some of them understand Lord knows that this is just a small town city Yes and everyone can see you fall It's got nothing to do with pity I just wanted to give you a call
It used to be your town It used to be my town too You never know till at all falls down Somebody loves you Somebody loves you
Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year Composer(s): Frank Loesser First performance/First recording by: Deanna Durbin/Percy Faith - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists
January and Februay were never so empty and grey Tragic'lly I feel like crying Without you, my darling, I'm dying But let's rather put it this way
Spring will be a little late this year A little late arriving in my lonely world over here For you have left me and where is our April of old You have left me and Winter continues cold
As if to say....... Spring will be a little slow to start A little slow reviving music it made in my heart Yes, time heals all things, so I needn't cling to this fear It's merely that Spring will be a little late this year
