100 Billion 100 BILLION IMAGES PASS BEFORE MY EYES 100 BILLION MEMORIES TRAPPED INSIDE MY MIND SOME LOST AND GONE FOREVER, NO-MATTER WHAT I DO BUT WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES, ALL I SEE IS YOU 100 MILLION FOOTSTEPS, IVE BEEN WALKING FOR SO LONG NO PARTICULAR DIRECTION, NO PLACE TO CALL MY HOME WHEN I LOOK INSIDE MY HEART I KNOW, I HAVE A PATH TO CHOOSE INSIDE I’M SMILING, I KNOW I’M WALKING BACK TO YOU
 I’LL WALK THE COAST-LINE, FROM EAST TO WEST I’LL TAKE THE HIGH-LINE, THE MOUNTAIN CREST EACH TOWN AND CITY, I’LL PASS ON THROUGH MY HEART IS GUIDING ME BACK TO YOU 100 BILLION DIAMOND STARS BY NIGHT, FALL INTO VIEW
100 BILLION HOPES AND DREAMS, I PRAY THE ALL COME TRUE 100 BILLION RAINDROPS, ROLLING DOWN MY FACE LIKE TEAR S FROM HEAVEN, THEN GONE WITHOUT A TRACE

Shipwrecked in the city Shipwrecked and marooned in the middle
In the middle of the city Feel like I’m drowning in the middle 
In the middle of town Sleeping in the cold in the shadow In the shadow of the streetlamp Lost and alone in the hustle and the bustle of town No-one can hear me No-one sees the tears that I’m crying Everybody rushing by Rushing by, I’m not even there Cast to the wind Being nipped by the cold at the roadside Kicked like a stone being left all alone to the night Living on the streets not easy
 Stuck in a rut with no way out no-matter how I try 
So cold and lonely 
The grass is no greener on the other side I’ve seen so many things
So many things from both sides now Haven’t had much luck
I’ve been up and down and I’ve been around You never know which way it’s going to go You work it out but it’s strange Whichever way your luck is going One thing’s for sure, it will change, it will change Living on the streets not easy
 Stuck in a rut with no way out no-matter how I try
 So cold and lonely 
The grass is no greener on the other side

Slip Away 03:26
SLIP AWAY Don’t let life hold you back from living Don’t let time slip away from you Throw away that ball and chain, discard the shackles Your precious time it there for you to use Time, Don’t let it slip away, Don’t let it slip away
 Don’t let time slip away from you Don’t let anybody tell you that you got it wrong Learn as you go, sometimes you’ll have to learn twice Before you know, another year will be over Time slips by before you realize Time, Don’t let it slip away, Don’t let it slip away 
Don’t let time slip away from you Time, Don’t let it slip away, Don’t let it slip away 
Don’t let time slip away from you

 Whatever you want from life, you can achieve it
 Follow your heart, you can fulfil your dreams 
Chances come and go so you should take them
 Time will pass you by quicker than it seems Time, Don’t let it slip away, Don’t let it slip away
 Don’t let time slip away from you Time, Don’t let it slip away, Don’t let it slip away 
Don’t let time slip away from you

THE WEST WIND When the West wind moves, Look to the East 
Put your back to the storm, And run with the wind
 When the lightning strikes, And the thunder rolls 
When the raindrops fall, Take my hand and run with me

 When the West wind moves
 Take my hand and run
 When the West wind moves

 When the sun goes down, And we’re laying in bed
 Put your arms around, And roll with me
In the dead of night, When we’re sleeping tight 
Meet me in my dreams and dance, Dance with me 

When the West wind moves
 Meet me in my dreams 
When the West wind moves

 When the sun comes up, To kiss the new day
 Floods of light, Will wash over the land 
Standing hand in hand, Looking to the sky
 As the sun will rise , Take my hand and we will fly

 When the West wind moves 
Take my hand and fly 
 When the West wind moves

 When the West wind moves 
Meet me in my dreams
 When the West wind moves 

When the West wind moves
 Take my hand and run
 When the West wind moves

WITH THESE HANDS With these hands, I will work With these hands, I will pray With all my heart, I will love you Within my heart, you will stay In your eyes, I am captured When we kiss, I’m under your spell My heart is racing, and I’m in heaven All my dreams have been answered by you Why did you let me fall in love with you I cannot fight it, I wouldn’t want to try A angel came into my life Now we’re flying high, flying high An angel came into my life to be by my side Now I surrender, my all to you To you I give, all that I am I surrender, my love to you My heart and soul, are in your hands Why did you let me fall in love with you I cannot fight it, I wouldn’t want to try A angel came into my life Now we’re flying high, flying high An angel came into my life to be by my side With these hands, I will work With these hands, I will pray With all my heart, I will love you With these hands I will hold you With these hands With these hands

This Place Is Beautiful I will walk, along the paths That were trod throughout the years I hear the echoes, call from the past I hear the spirits of my peers Where great men, once walked before And their legacy forever remains All the stories that they passed along Their sons and daughters will tell again This place is beautiful The land is incredible Almost unbelievable I’m proud to call it my home Before the light, of a brand new day Comes flooding through the Glens I make my way, to the crest of the brae To watch the sunrise and breath life into the day This place is beautiful The land is incredible Almost unbelievable I’m proud to call it my home The views are so wonderful The sky’s unpredictable The jewel of God’s creation And I’m blessed to call it home I have sewn the seeds, within my heart With every passing day my love still grows It’s in the sky, the land and the sea It’s in the air that whispers in the breeze

SIMPLE THINGS

 Sometimes we’re looking for too much
 Sometimes we look for what’s not there Sometimes we see it all around us
 And wonder why the world is so unfair 

 Sometimes we’re worried out of our minds
 About the things in life we cannot change Once in a while it’s oh so easy
 To turn our head and look the other way
 It’s the simple things Oh 
It’s the simple things It’s the simple things in life that make me smile 

It’s the simple things in life that make me happy 
Like watching the sunrise down by the bay
 And it’s the simple things in life that put a smile upon my face 
Like walking hills and Glens and sunny days 
it’s the simple things in life Like walking hand in hand 
It’s the simple things in life 
Like leaving footprints in the sand 

It’s the simple things 
Yeah it’s the simple things
 It’s the simple things in life that make me smile
 Oh it’s the simple things 
Yeah it’s the simple things 
It’s the simple things in life that make me smile

 (OHOH) The simple things in life that I believe in
 (OHOH) The simple things I feel deep in my soul 
(OHOH) Simple things that make my world go round
 Simple things that make me feel alive

 Yeah it’s the simple things Oh It’s the simple things 
It’s the simple things in life that make me smile
 Oh it’s the simple things
 Yeah It’s the simple things 
It’s the simple things in life that make me smile

 The simple things that make it all worthwhile 
Simple things like loving who we are 
Simple things like loving who I am

IF IT IS TO BE
 When everything goes wrong don’t worry I will take the blame 
I won’t let it get me down, I know that I will rise again
 What goes around will come around, this time I will feel no pain
 So I will ride this train. I’m in this till the end 

Out of every darkness, there comes a ray of ligh t
A beautiful horizon will rise out of the night 
As the sun cuts through the valley to rest upon the sea 
And light the way before me to show me what could be 

IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME

 No-one said it would be easy, nothing comes for free 
It’s up to me to make it happen, it won’t just come to me 
I can’t keep throwing out the dice, hope lady luck will shine on me 
So it’s time to make a stand, only I can build my dreams 

 IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME

 There’s a light at the end of the tunnel 
I’ve heard so many people say 
A pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 
But it never turns out that way 

IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME 
IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME 
It is up to me
