The Impossible Dream
"M. Leigh & J. Darion"

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
And to love, pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
For that heavenly cause

And I know
If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart
Will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
And I'll always dream
The impossible dream
 
 

MY WAY
"P.Anka, J.Revaux, & C.Francois"

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
and more much more than this
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exception
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step alone the by way
And more much more than this
I did it my way.

Yes there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I face it all and I stood tall
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill my share of loosing
And the now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that and my I say
Not in a shy way oh no not me
I did it my way.

For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
 
 

I Made It Through The Rain
"G. Kenny, Sheppard, Sussman. Feldman, & Manilow"

We dreamers have our ways
Of facing rainy days
And somehow we survive
We keep the feelings warm
Protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives
Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through those lonely years

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view

I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
When friends are hard to find
And life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel so afraid
Just aim beyond the clouds
And rise above the crowds
And start your own parade
'Cause when I chased my fears away
That's when I knew that I could finally say
I made it
 
 

Whatever We Imagine
"David Foster, Jeremy Lubbock & Paul Gordon"

Don't be afraid
I can meet you halfway
We can't always know
Where the road ends up
But with some luck I know we can go
Wherever we imagine

Why should we wait
Later on may be too late
'Cause where can we run
When you see there's half a chance
That we might really become
Whatever we imagine

And I imagine you and me
Just taking shots at what we see
And if we fall
We'll shake away the dust
And just outlast them all

You ought to see
All your heroes in me
But if we get wise
We can break the walls we make
And you can see in my eyes
Whatever we imagine

And I imagine you and me
Just taking shots at what we see
So let the walls go down
And we can try it again
'Cause nobody can stop us now

Don't be afraid
'Cause I'll meet you halfway
You're not far behind
If we climb this hill
I know there's still a chance we can find
Whatever we imagine in our mind
 
 

Somewhere Over The Rainbow
"Arlen, Harold & Harburg, E. Y."

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up High
There's a land that
I heard of once in a lullabye

Somwhere over the rainbow
Sky's are blue
And the dreams that you dare
to dream really do come true

Some day I'll wish apon a star
And wake up where
the clouds are far behind me

And trubles melt like lemon drops
Oh way above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
If happy little bluebirds fly
above the rainbow
why oh why can't I
 
 

Always Tomorrow
"Gloria Estefan"

I've been alone inside myself for far too long
Never really wanted it that way but I let it happen
If I could do it all again my life would be
Infinitely better than before I wouldn't waste a moment
(I'd) Make time for laughing with my friend
Make love, make music, make amends
Try to make a difference try to love, try to understand
Instead of just giving up I'd use the power at my command

'Cause there's always tomorrow to start over again
Things will never stay the same the only one sure thing
is change
That's why there's always tomorrow

I guess it took a little time, for me to see
The reason I was born into this world and what I'd have
to go through.
For I've finally realized that I could be
Infinitely better than before definitely stronger
I'll face whatever comes my way
Savor each moment of the day
Love as many people as I can along the way.
Help someone who's giving up if it's just to raise
my eyes and pray.

Before your last setting sun
And everything your heart has longed for
Has yet to be (one)
Yes there's always tomorrow though people come and they go
But if you've brought some love to their lives
Then you've got something to show
 
 

I Will Survive
"Fekaris, D. & Perren, F."

At first I was afraid,
I was petrified,
I kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side,
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you'd done me wrong,
I grew strong
I learned how to get along.

And so you're back
From outer space,
I just walked in to find you here
without that look upon your face,
I should have my fuckin lock,
I would have made you leave your key.
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

O now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore,
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and cry?

Oh, Not I,
I, I will survive,
As long I know how to love
I know I'll be alive,
I have all my life to live
I have all my love to give,
I will survive, I will survive

It took all the strength
I had just not to fall apart,
I'm trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart,
And I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself,
I used to cry,
But now I hold my head up high,

And you see me with somebody new,
I'm not that stupid little person
still in love with you,
And so you thought you'd just drop by.
and you'd expect me to be free,
But now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

 now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore,
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and cry?

O not I
I, I will survive,
As long I know how to love
I know I'll be alive,
I have all my life to live
I have all my love to give,
I will survive, I will survive
 
 
 

Hero
"M. Carey & W. Afanasieff"
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
 

When You Believe
"Stephen Schwartz"

Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear
And our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we know we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill

Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away

And now I am standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill

Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near
There can be miracles (miracles)
When you believe (When you believe)

Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
Just believe
You will when you believe
 

Miracle

How could I throw away a miracle
How could I face another day
It's all of my doing
I made a choice
And today I pay
My heart is full of pain

How could you relate to so much pain
Seems as though nothing can comfort me
So today I pray
That someone should listen, for

Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There's a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don't throw love away
There's a miracle in store

How could I let go of a miracle
Nothing could ever take its place
Thought I was looking out for myself
Now it seems the pain
Is all that have gained
I wonder if I could be your miracle
I wonder if I could spare you pain
Seems as though nothing will comfort me
Less today when I pray
That you should com listen

DON'T EVER THROW AWAY YOUR MIRACLE
DON'T LET IT SLIP AWAY
Nothing should matter
 

One Moment In Time
"Hammond & Bettis"

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free
 

Greatest Love Of All

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how we used to be

Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail if I succeed at least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I've found the greatest love of all is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
 
 

Remember Me This Way
"David Foster, Linda Thompson"

Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down

Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend that I've found

I know you can't stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go

And I know that you'll be there
Forever more a part of me, you're everywhere
I'll always care

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side and all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
