Baby, Baby it's ok I know everything you went through today Higher then the highest stars You jumped just to see how brave you are Because love has made a fool of you Has broke your bones and left you bruised Every step you make on the way Will lead you to a breaking day To be free, to be free, to be free Wolves that run are wolves that die You were meant to lead the pack not run and hide So take your paw and grip the earth clench your teeth and claim back your turf Because love has made a fool of you Has broke your bones and left you bruised Every step you make on the way Will lead you to a breaking day To be free, be free Not just for you but for me So be free, be free, be free

Little 04:00
cigarettes and stockings choking up your mind twiggy like a tree girl you're hard to find but that's ok you're more beautiful that way baby don't faint stand up straight you sure better not finish your plate just soldier through no time for weight It's a little to late a little to small a little to little for nothing at all You can't learn to waist When there's nothing to eat But over here we choose to Throw away our feast Our waist get small And the most become the least But little girls go hungry While big girls choose to starve And I'm sorry I can't sit around And wait for it all to be a little to late a little to small a little to little for nothing at all Cause beautiful aint beautiful

Hard Love 04:55
I was born into a sea of sharks Caged every night in their beds in the dark They keep breaking me in But there's nothing here that's still living Cause it's a hard love I've bought It's got nothing, nothing, nothing that I want It's a hard love I've bought It's got nothing, nothing, nothing that I want They're all standing in a line And he keeps whispering "that ones mine" But you can't take what you don't own And they're all mine to take home Cause it's a hard love I've bought It's got nothing, nothing, nothing that I want It's a hard love I've boug ht It's got nothing, nothing, nothing that I want

Staple shut my lips tonight The stars above me can not be described The absence of your voice is leaving me so dry Cause there's a well where you use to live But the water I'm drawing is way to thin Evaporated I call upon you again And You say You say Come to the river, bring me your cup Arise my daughter let me fill you up Listen gently without you ears Can't you see my water never disappears? Am I the only one chasing dreams That lead to a river that flows inside of me? Like a white silk candy, flooding through my blood stream Or are we all just hanging out dehydrated by the drought? Waiting on rain but really drowning in all our pain And You say You say Come to the river, bring me your cup Arise my son and let me fill you up Listen gently without your ears Can't you see my water never disappears? But where does the water go? Where does the water go? Where does the water go If the river never overflows So come to the river Bring me your cup Arise my children let me fill you up Listen gently without your ears Can't you see my water never never disappears?

Star Dust 03:59
Fury was the wildest, but Wild horses ain't just black Lone wolves have to dance alone But the sweetest melody comes from a pack Water going ankle, knee, waist deep Gives me all the control I seek Diving in from head to feet Gives me all the faith that I need Cause I am the Stardust and you are the Star You dress me in a twinkling shirt, makes me free like the wind and fly like a bird It´s useless to steer a ship thats not moving at all So put fat glory in my sails and carry me on The strength of a forest lies within  The number of its trees The jar of honey isn´t filled  Just by one but of many little bees Thunder comes best with lightning Rumbling loud, bright, frightening  Rain and storm together riding  Wait its getting even more exciting Oh you dear dependency  Now I can so clearly see Depending on what is greater than me Makes me free

Silent Night 05:28
Meet me by the field tonight I'll be the one dressed in white Don't you mistake me, for the birds in the sky You'll hold me like a cigarette you'll breathe me in and then You'll put me down And suddenly darling, I'll be found It's funny how a name can change and not be something you miss When it's sealed by one goodbye kiss. On this silent night All is calm All is right But now I'm in the house we painted blue Just for me and you But where are you darling I got to get you home soon the squeaky floors the rusty doors they're all singing our symphony But you're not here, to dance with me On this silent night All is lost, is it going to be all right Silent night Tell me darling, are you coming home tonight? Would you, would you meet me by the field tonight? I'll be the one that's dancing in that silent night Could you could you find the star I picked out from the throne To lead you home, home On this silent night All is calm All is right Silent night All is lost, is it going to be alright Silent night Tell me darling are you coming home tonight? Silent night all is calm is this going to be alright tonight?

It's hard to see the road When you're stuck in the woods alone And you're footsteps are lost in the rain And I know you'll be ok, you always seem to find the way But right now all you see is the rain You're tempted by a pack of lies That try to brake you until you stop trying But darling all I can say is trouble will always be But don't let it burn out your fire So let's fall Fall to the ground Let's role Until we meet solid ground I won't let you drown When the rain stops can you feel the breeze Moving you through the leaves? Is it back to the start of the trees? Does it move you along, down the road you belong? Out of the woods in the end So let's fall Fall to the ground Let's role Until we meet solid ground I won't let you drown My friend come, come home to me Come home, come home, come home to me

I killed a lion with my bare hands polished and clean It turned out to be a kitten roaring in my dreams I boxed a crocodile trying to eat the children But I forgot my gloves so they called in the wolves and the pigeons Let this not be my battle field I dont wanna fight alone I'm learning to be dangerous Just like you Dangerous Just like you I put my armor on with ribbons tide to bows Set out with ginger spice, sugar and a rose you gave me a shield you gave me a sword, you gave me everything but when I kicked I got tricked by the devils schemes I'm learning to be dangerous Just like you Dangerous Just like you We are compelled to squeak not like mice But roar like a lion fierce and might Our weakness ends where His strength begins Courage relies on something thicker then or skin
