Boy at Heart
03:26

When I was a boy
I used to wish that I could fly
Now that I'm a man
I still wish that I can
Maybe having my head in the clouds
you tell me aint so smart
and to keep my dreams & reality apart
When I think about it
I am still a boy at heart
Now that I'm a man
I still wish I was a boy
if my wish came true
I know what I’d do
I think I'd get me some wings
and fly to the sun & the stars
I'd know my life had begun, got off to the best start
When I think about it
I am still a boy at heart
Flying to the sun
with wings of fire
Flying to the stars
Higher & higher
Higher & higher
Higher & higher
Higher & higher
Higher & higher
When I think about it
When I think about it
When I think about it
I am still a boy at heart
I am still a boy at heart

Action
03:23
|

|
I have a simple question
I wanna ask for inspiration
But I don’t know who to ask
So I think that just ask my myself
I’m tired of waiting
And hesitating
Speculating
I wanna take action
I wanna take action
Help me now
I know that there’s something in me
That knows how to help and free me
‘cause I read it once in a book
But it seems to elude me no matter how hard I look
I’m tired of waiting
And hesitating
Procrastinating
I wanna take action
I wanna take action
Help me now
Success always seems so distant
But I want it in an instant
Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong
If I embrace the present it won’t seem so long
I’m tired of waiting
I’m tired of waiting
I’m tired of waiting
I’m gonna take action
I’m gonna take action
I’m gonna take action
I’m gonna take action
I’m gonna take action
I’m gonna take action
I’m gonna take action
I’m gonna take action
I’m gonna take action
I’m gonna take action
Watch me now
Watch me now
Watch me now
Watch me now

Don't Steal My Dream
02:55
|
|||
|
Don’t steal my dream
You know what it means
Means to me
To follow my dream
And I could do
Could do without
The voice of doubt
Don’t steal my dream
I had a plan & a vision
I confided in you
But my enthusiasm
Scared you.
Don’t steal my dream
You know what it means
Means to me
To follow my dream
And I could do
Could do without
The voice of doubt
Don’t steal my dream
Everybody is born to
Make a difference
Or else ambition is pointless
It wouldn’t make sense
Don’t steal my dream
You know what it means
Means to me
To follow my dream
And I could do
Could do without
The voice of doubt
Don’t steal my dream
Well you can dis-believe
All you like, if you like
But I don’t believe I'm destined for
All I got there’s something more
‘cause everything that exists in the world
Started with an idea
Don’t steal my dream
You know what it means
Means to me
To follow my dream
And I could do
Could do without
The voice of doubt
Don’t steal my dream
Don’t steal my dream
Don’t steal my dream

What you made up in your mind about right or wrong
Has been making you live in fear for so long
There’s nothing wrong with you even if you fail
There’s nothing wrong with you even if you fall
Like a wise woman said to me
Those that never made a mistake
Never made nothing
Have you ever longed for a life doing something
That you wanna be doing more than anything
There’s nothing wrong with you even if you fail
There’s nothing wrong with you even if you fall (yeah)
There’s nothing wrong with you even if you fail
Like a wise woman said to me
Those that never made a mistake
Never made nothing
It stopped you dead in your tracks before
Now you don't believe in fate your in control
But don’t confuse control with what’s in your head
It’s on a whole different level
Just go where you are led
There’s nothing wrong with you even if you fail
There’s nothing wrong with you even if you fall
There’s nothing wrong with you even if you fail
No there’s nothing wrong. Nothing wrong at all
Those that never made a mistake never made nothing
(never made a mistake)
Those that never made a mistake never made nothing
(never made a mistake)
Those that never made a mistake never made nothing
(never made a mistake)
Those that never made a mistake never made nothing

Well I try
So hard to keep it together
But I’m doing something wrong
I promise that I’ll change forever
But I just carry on
And I try oh I try
To be good
To do what I should
I’ve been stupid
I did it to myself again
I’ve been stupid
I did it to myself again
Maybe next time
Maybe next time
It’s too late
To turn round and go back to
The way I was before
If I don’t get on track now
I’ll be on the wrong side of the law ;-)
But it’s hard oh it’s hard
To be good
To do what I should
I’ve been stupid
I did it to myself again
I’ve been stupid
I did it to myself again
Maybe next time
Maybe next time
If I get another chance
If I get another chance
Oh give me another chance
I just need another chance
I’ve been stupid
I did it to myself again
I’ve been stupid
I did it to myself again
I’ve been stupid
I did it to myself again
I’ve been stupid
I did it to myself again

Power to Create
02:59
|
|||
|
So many things to be thankful for
So much opportunity at my door
There’s nothing to stop me achieving what I
Have dreamed of my whole life
But the fear inside
Put out the fire
How can I find
The power to create my heart’s desire
Already completed the hardest part
I know what I want & I know where to start
I’ve overcome so much to get this far
Should now be so easy
But the fear inside
Put out the fire
How can I find
The power to create my heart’s desire
I know that it’s there
All the signs look the same
But to look outside myself
I won’t find it there
’Cause the truth
It’s an inside game
Now the fear inside
Is no match for my fire
‘Cause now I can find
The power to create my heart’s desire
I have the fire
And the power to create my heart’s desire…

What I Got
03:33
|
|||
|
Every time you fall
Remember to learn what you’ve been told
It’s no mistake it’s just a sign
That you are going to be fine
Under the guidance of your heart
Makes you greater than the sum of your parts
And if I lost it all tomorrow
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
No matter where I am today
I look at things in the same way
If I’m moving up or falling down
It’s all part of the game
I’ll never stop dreaming
After all I’m a boy at heart
And if I lost it all tomorrow
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
It’s immaterial it’s immaterial
What’s real is immaterial
Beyond the physical beyond the physical
Deep down it’s what you know
Your energy in flow
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
I’d still share what I got
(Yeah)

It's All So Clear
03:29
|

I got a smile
I got you I wanna shout out loud
let the whole world know what I got
'cause I'm so proud
I got a heart
I got you I wanna show how much
bigger, braver & stronger I feel
now that I have been touched
By your magic
and your boundless energy
I got a light
I got you making things seem so clear
I am afraid of nothing now
with you right here
I got peace
I got you a feeling of knowing
everything falls into place
with all that you're showing
With your magic
and your boundless energy
You give so much to me
you give so much to me
Do I deserve such loyalty?
do I deserve such loyalty?
Now I know where I'm going
I know where I'm going
No more indecision
I've got a purpose
And I've got a vision
It's all so clear
It's all so clear
It's all so clear
It's all so clear

Happy if I Wanna Be
03:22
|
|||
|
Everyone complaining and crying
Why can’t someone clean up this town
Everyone looking on the darkside
Everything is right on a down
But don’t go telling me it’s no good
That happy endings are for Hollywood
When there’s happiness here
And I’ll be happy if I wanna be
Encouragement is so hard to come by
As if no-one wants you to succeed
Putting down your ideas and wishes
But that don’t make no difference to me
Don’t go telling me it’s no good
That happy endings are for Hollywood
When there’s happiness here
And I’ll be happy if I wanna be
Don’t go telling me it’s no good
That happy endings are for Hollywood
When there’s happiness here
And I’ll be happy if I wanna be
If there is a message
That I’m supposed to get
It’s to love where I am now.
And if I can do that
Right now without
Condition, no condition
I’ll be happy if I wanna be
Don’t go telling me it’s no good
That happy endings are for Hollywood
When there’s happiness here
And I’ll be happy if I wanna be
Don’t go telling me it’s no good
That happy endings are for Hollywood
When there’s happiness here
And I’ll be happy if I wanna be
I’ll be
Happy
If I wanna be

I got into an angry way of thinking
Following you instead
But I woke up and now I'm dancing
To the music in my head.
I won't stop dancing again
I won't stop dancing again
No I won't stop dancing to Rock n Roll
'cause it inspires my spirit & fires my soul
It's no fun when your enthusiasm
is eroded by a bitter mind
Break away from all those influences
kick back and unwind
I won't stop dancing again
I won't stop dancing again
No I won't stop dancing to Rock n Roll
'cause it inspires my spirit & fires my soul
You will find
If you love and believe in what you do
you will realise your dreams much faster
Banish doubt banish fear
Stop waiting for the right time of year
You already are what you are
By being
So be what you want to be
I won't stop dancing again
I won't stop dancing again
No I won't stop dancing to Rock n Roll
'cause it inspires my spirit & fires my soul
I won't stop dancing again
I won't stop dancing again
No I won't stop dancing to Rock n Roll
No I won't stop dancing to Rock n Roll
No I won't stop dancing to Rock n Roll
No I won't stop dancing to Rock n Roll
No I won't stop dancing to Rock n Roll
No I won't stop dancing to Rock n Roll

Your Brave Heart
05:20
|
|||
|
Do you believe you’ll make it?
It’s the only question you need to ask
If your belief is weak you can’t fake it
You will only be stuck in the past
Take a look around my friend
Listen to that sound again
Your heart is crying
‘cause you chose to hide it away
Listen to your brave heart
Without it you cannot go far
You insist on trying to go it alone
When your heart has connections with everyone
I know how it feels sometimes
When you fall into a pit of despair
But you know there’s always a lifeline
Your fire never stopped burning
You forgot it was there
Take a look around my friend
Listen to that sound again
Your heart is crying
‘cause you chose to hide it away
Listen to your brave heart
Without it you cannot go far
You insist on trying to go it alone
When your heart has connections with everyone
Don’t buy into the fears you’re feeling
Its just false evidence appearing real
You have the power to transform them
In an instant your heart will heal
Take a look around my friend
Listen to that sound again
Your heart is crying
‘cause you chose to hide it away
Listen to your brave heart
Without it you cannot go far
You insist on trying to go it alone
When your heart has connections with everyone
With everyone
With everyone
With everyone
