A Million Dreams
I close my eyes and I can see
A world that’s waiting up for me
That I call my own.
Through the dark, through the door,
Through where no one’s been before,
But it feels like home.
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy.
They can say, they can say I’ve lost my mind.
I don’t care, I don’t care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design.
‘Cause every night I lie in bed.
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake.
I think of what the world could be,
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all its gonna take
Oh, a million dreams for the world we’re gonna make
There’s a house we can build
Every room inside is filled with things from far away.
Special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile on a rainy day
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy.
They can say, they can say we’ve lost our minds.
I don’t care, I don’t care, if they call us crazy
Run away to a world that we design.
Every night I lie in bed.
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake.
I think of what the world could be,
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all its gonna take
Oh, a million dreams for the world we’re gonna make
However big, however small, let me be part of it all.
Share your dreams with me.
You may be right, you may be wrong, but say that you’ll bring me along,
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see.
‘Cause every night I lie in bed.
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake.
I think of what the world could be,
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all its gonna take
A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make
For the world we’re gonna make.
Lightning!
Electric fingers reaching, reaching, reaching.
Skipping, darting, fleeting, fleeting, fleeting.
Tapping on the clouds, rapping on their shroud of gray.
Lightning, lightning, lightning, lightning, lightning, LIGHTNING!
Now the night is waking, waking, waking.
See it sparkling, blinking, blinking, sizzling.
OH what a storm of energy, crackling now, surrounding me!
I am not afraid. I am not afraid. I am not afraid. Lightning. LIGHTNING!
Rolling, rolling then a flash from cloud to cloud
Sneaking, sneaking to the ground without a sound.
Then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, BOOM! (GASP!)
I am not afraid, I am not afraid. I am not afraid. Lightning, LIGHTNING!
Electric fingers reaching, reaching, reaching.
Skipping, darting, fleeting, fleeting, fleeting.
Tapping on the clouds, rapping on their shroud of gray.
Lightning, lightning, lightning, lightning, lightning, LIGHTNING!
Now the night is waking, waking, waking.
See it sparkling, blinking, blinking, sizzling.
OH what a storm of energy, crackling now, surrounding me!
I am not afraid. I am not afraid. I am not afraid. Lightning. Lightning
Oh, reaching
(Lightning)
(Lightning)
Oh, fleeting
(Lightning)
(Lightning)
Lightning, Lightning
Lightning
Sparkling, blinking, sizzling. Now the night is waking.
LIGHTNING! BOOM! (GASP)
Surfin’ U.S.A.
If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A.
Then everybody’d be surfin’
Like California
You’d see them wearin’ their baggies, huarache sandals too
A bushy blonde hairdo, surfin’ U.S. A.
You’ll catch’em surfin’ at Del Mar
Ventura County Line,
Santa Cruz and Tressels,
Australia’s Narabine
All over Manhattan and down Doheny way.
Everybody’s gone surfin’ surfin’ U.S. A.
We’ll all be plannin’ out a route
We’re gonna take real soon.
We’re waxin’ down our surfboards,
We can’t wait for June,
We’ll all be gone for the summer, we’re on safari to stay
Tell the teacher we’re surfin’ surfin’ U.S.A.
You’ll catch’em surfin’ at Del Mar
Ventura County Line,
Santa Cruz and Tressels,
Australia’s Narabine
All over Manhattan and down Doheny way.
Everybody’s gone surfin’ surfin’ U.S. A.
Everybody’s gone surfin’,
Surfin’ U.S.A.,
Everybody’s gone surfin’,
Surfin’ U.S.A
U.S.A!
The Bird with One Wing
There once was a bird with just one wing
He was a fragile and frightened thing.
The other birds, they pushed him aside.
And the little one-winged bird sighed.
The lone little bird, he spent his days
Watching the children at their play.
He felt very safe in the shade of a tree.
Where none of the other birds could see.
Then, one day in bright July,
Our little bird heard a small child cry,
He saw that she was all alone,
The others had left her, headed for home.
So he perched on her shoulder,
And then he told her, “I’ll sing a duet with you!”
Ah,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh,
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
And when their song was finally done,
They saw, with delight, in the shining sun.
Children and birds were gathered around
To see who had made that magical sound,
And they sang out together, “We’re all of one feather, whoever we happen to be!”
Ah,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh,
Count On Me
If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I’ll sail the world… to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark, and you can’t see
I’ll be the light…to guide you
We find out what we’re made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like “one, two, three,”
I’ll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like “four, three, two,”
And you’ll be there,
‘Cause that’s what friends are suppose to do
Oh, yeah….Ooooooo….Oooooo
Yeaaah, yeah,
If you’re tossin; and you’re turnin’, and you just can’t fall asleep
I’ll sing a song…beside you
If you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will remind you
We find out what we’re made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like “one, two, three,”
I’ll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like “four, three, two,”
And you’ll be there,
‘Cause that’s what friends are suppose to do
Oh, yeah….Ooooooo….Oooooo
Yeah, yeah,
You’ll always have my shoulder when you cryyyyyy
I’ll never let go, never say goodbyeeeee
You know you can count on me like “one, two, three,”

And I know when I need it I can count on you like “four, three, two,”
And you’ll be there,
‘Cause that’s what friends are suppose to do
Oh, yeah….Ooooooo….Oooooo
You can count on me ‘cause I can count on you (Slow)

Don’t Give Up on Me
I will fight…I will fight for you
I always do, until, my heart, is black and blue
And I will stay…I will stay with you
We’ll make it to the other side, we always do

In the dark and wait for yours to interlock
I’ll wait for you

Even when I’m down to my last breath,
Even when they say there’s nothing left

In the dark and wait for yours to interlock
