Believe in Yourself (Click here for sound track sample)
Believe
in yourself and trust in all you can do
I’ll help you along, I’ll be the mirror of your truth
I’ll point out your good, remind you of all you have done
I’ll show you your dream and relight your spark when it’s gone
Don’t give up the fight
Deciding that you’ll never win
Nothing’s achieved by stopping before you begin
I wish you could see what I see
I wish you could see your own beauty
And love you as much as I do
(Repeat)

You’re
in the right place at the right time
Just know it
You are precisely where you’re meant to be
‘though you’ll criticise and disagree
With hindsight you will see
Every situation you saw as a problem
Turns into an opportunity
So trust yourself
Trust where you are
Be all that you can be
You
can never make a wrong decision
Everything is perfect at the time
‘though you’ll learn a lesson and progress
It may be time to change your mind
Don’t go beating up on your past errors
For you’ll find there’s none that you have made
So trust
yourself
Trust where you are
And don’t stay in the shade
Shine your light
Live your love
Be yourself
And show others the way
Shine your light
Live your love
You’ve so much to share
Just give it away
To be
perfect is just an illusion
Accept your very best is all that you can do
The sooner you accept your best as true
There will be mountains you can move
Don’t try to compare yourself with any other
You were made the way you’re meant to be
So trust yourself
Trust who you are
And love yourself wholeheartedly
Repeat… Shine your light….

I cannot cry your tears
Can’t even dry your tears
But I want you to know I’m with you
‘tho I can’t feel your pain
I’d like to hold the space
For you to be, just be
But I don’t pretend to know
That’s what you want from me
I’d like you to know it’s okay
No matter what you do or say
If anything – this is your time
I won’t do the wiser than game
Interpret or analyse game
Won’t judge or patronise
This is your time
We’re where we’re meant to be
I’m honoured you’re with me
Life has its purpose,
‘tho not always obvious
For us to see
Your story’s touched my heart
‘tho mine is not the same
I’m glad that you chose to share it here
I’m glad you came
I’d like you to know it’s okay….etc…
I’d
like to hold the space
For you to be, just be
‘Though I don’t pretend to know
That’s what you want from me
I cannot cry your tears

Although
we haven’t met, I know
What we’ll have will be important
Maybe love will grow, only time will tell
For now our paths are meant to cross
God and fate have organised it
We just have to go along
Leave the rest to them
Chorus:
We each have our pain, each have our past
Maybe we’ll leave it all behind
Maybe we’ll fall or maybe we’ll last
Maybe we’ll stand the test of time
It doesn’t matter now
What matters is
We’re taking a chance
On love
At
first let’s take it nice and slow
Both our hearts are on the wire
How can we begin to know
How the story’ll end
One thing we can trust for sure
There’ll be lessons for the learning
‘though we’ll keep our hearts secure
Let the tale begin
Chorus (up to we’re taking a chance) then repeat chorus (higher key)

If I Could Take Away Your Pain
If I could take away your pain
You know I would
I’d take it far away from you
If I could
You’re not your past
You’re not the things you do
You’re wonderful, you’re gorgeous, coz you’re you
I’d take the trouble from your mind
Hurt from your heart
Let your light shine
Just play your part
You’re not your past
You’re not what you have been
I love you now
I love what I have seen
So
let your past go
Don’t hold on to your cares
Your future starts now and if you let me I’ll be there
If I could open up your eyes
And show you, you
Take away your ‘guise
Let your love shine through
You’re not your past
You’re not what’s gone before
You’re wonderful, you’re everything and more
So let your past go
Be all that you can be
Live in the moment
And let your heart be free
Repeat Verse 1

It’s
about love
It’s about me and you
It’s about love
It’s about showing who we are
Without being afraid
And if we do
It’s about love
It’s
about hope
It’s about aiming high
It’s about hope
It’s about you and I reaching out
Without being afraid
And if we do
It’s about love
Sometimes
you think there’s not enough
You wonder if it’s worth it
Next day your heart’s so warm inside
You’re sure that you deserve it
Because everyone deserves it
It’s
about trust
It’s about stepping out
It’s about trust
It’s about then and now letting go
Without being afraid
And if we do
Doesn’t
it prove
It’s about love
Everything’s about love
Everything’s about love

I am love, the love I see in your eyes
I am love, the love I hear in your words
I am love, the love I feel in the things you do
From whence it came, to there it must return
You
are love, the love you see in my eyes
You are love, the love you hear in my words
You are love, the love you feel in the things I do
From whence it came, to there it must return
Someone
once told me, they loved me very much
Then they said it was my love
Then they went away, but I was okay
Coz my love, keeps coming back to me
Coz I am love……..
Don’t
be afraid to fall in love again
Don’t be afraid to open your heart
What you give away, will come around again
It’s never-ending, you just play your part
Coz you are love……
