Song of the Warrior

I have often dreamed of a far off place
Where a hero’s welcome will be waiting for me
And the crowds will cheer when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, "This is where I’m meant to be"

I’ll be there someday; I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
When I go the distance I’ll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years will be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime but somehow I’ll see it through
And I won’t look back; I can go the distance
And I’ll stay on track; no, I won’t accept defeat
It’s an uphill slope, but I won’t lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero’s strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world; I will face its harms
I don’t care how far; I can go the distance

Till I find my hero’s welcome waiting in your arms
I will search the world; I will face its harms
Till I find my hero’s welcome, waiting in your arms

Wherever You Will Go

So lately, I've been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go

If I Ain't Got You

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them

And in a world on a silver platter
And wondering what it means
No one to share, no one who truly cares for me

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

If I ain't got you with me baby
Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

Songbird

Songbird sings from the heart

Each word can tear you apart

I sing, you sing along

You find your life in my song

When you need the strength to carry on

You’ve got me to turn to

With the songs that I sing

And the magic they bring

They’ve helped you be strong now

My song sets you free

But who sings to me

I’m all alone now

Who sings for songbird

Sometimes

When I’m all alone I sing my saddest song

Lonely, and no one can see

This time the song is for me

I can touch your secret place inside

And still you don’t know me

With the songs that I sing

And the magic they bring

You’ve learned to be strong now

My song sets you free

But who sings to me

I’m all alone now

Where is my songbird

Where is my songbird

Who sings for songbird

Who sings his song

For me
