Never been afraid of love
until you came into my world
and now I’m standing on the edge of heaven.
Is it real, a fantasy
that you want to be with me?
Judging by our chemistry its heaven.
and no mater what they do
and no matter what they say.
Don’t mean a thing its our dream
Aint nobody getting in the way
and what matters more today
is when tomorrow comes you’ll stay.
Promise you wont throw my heart away
cuz I’ll never give up on your love.
Baby I’ll never give up on your love.
Girl I’ll never give up (you got me baby)
and baby I’ll never give up on your love….
It ain’t no mystery,
the truth is plain to see
cuz now you’re here with me.
Nobody gonna take you away from heaven.
Cuz you make living in this world magical,
a brand new love, spiritual
oh yes you are from heaven.
and no mater what they do
and no matter what they say.
Don’t mean a thing its our dream
Aint nobody getting in the way
and what matters more today
is when tomorrow comes you’ll stay.
Promise you wont throw my heart away
cuz I’ll never give up on your love.
Baby I’ll never give up on your love.
Girl I’ll never give up (you got me baby)
and baby I’ll never give up on your love,
on your love…
The way you love me,
Its all around me,
the greatest thing is love…
And we found love,
unforgettable love,
the power of this love…
The way you love me,

I was all tied up.
My minds made up.
And when you showed me love,
t’was like a hand in glove
I was all tied up.
My minds made up.
And when you showed me love,
t’was like a hand in glove
I was all...

So Nervous
05:51
|

Ever doubtful, I’m forever changing what I hoped for for you and I.
Forever faithful, I’m forever in your debt, you changed my life.
Forever lovers, forever together, ever apart and I…
I wanna thank you everyday, I wanna love you in every way.
Everybody, didn’t believe we’d make it through
but nobody’s gonna take me from you
and I was so nervous I, I just wanted to make it better, better.
Everybody, didn’t believe we’d ever make it
and nobody had the nerve to say it
and I was so nervous I, I just wanted to make it better, better…
So nervous I, I just wanted to make it better.
Neverending, all the memories of rejection,
I have learned that to be burned is ever doubtful,
never faithful in me and the beauty beside me.
Forever lovers, forever together, whether you’re near or far and I…
I wanna thank you everyday, I wanna love you in every way.
Everybody, didn’t believe we’d ever make it
and nobody had the nerve to say it
and I was so nervous I, I just wanted to make it better, better…
So nervous I, I just wanted to make it better.
I know in time we’ll be just fine.
I believe if we try we’ll cross the line.
I know in time we’ll be just fine.
I believe if we try we’ll cross the line.
Everybody, didn’t believe we’d ever make it
and nobody had the nerve to say it
and I was so nervous I, I just wanted to make it better, better…
So nervous I, I just wanted to make it better.

You see the flashing lights burning bright
luring you closer & closer & closer.
There’s no turning back tonight
once you step into the light.
Flashing lights burning bright
luring you closer & closer & closer.
There’s no turning back tonight
once you step into the light.
Oh, somedays I start to wonder,
what does it really mean to know yourself,
nobody seems to know.
Yes, these days are filled with so many things
and in the big scheme you know yourself,
nobody seems to grow.
and in the distance there is fame and fortune,
seems like a better life
but all the money in the world cant save you
and all the fame wont make you a better you.
Yes, survival of the fittest,
What it really means?
Know yourself and you will never fail
when you see the flashing lights burning bright
luring you closer & closer & closer.
There’s no turning back tonight
once you step into the light.
Flashing lights burning bright
luring you closer & closer & closer.
There’s no turning back tonight
once you step into the light.
Sometiems it feels like
you need someone to tell you
It’s all right, it’s ok
You can do it your way.
Other people getting mentions,
getting all the attention,
gotta ask yourself one question hey.
Do you believe in what you do this for?
If you sell your soul now will the cost be more?
In the long run, you could be undone
by the light of a false sun, yeah.
Yes, survival of the fittest,
What it really means?
Know yourself and you will never fail
when you see the flashing lights burning bright
luring you closer & closer & closer.
There’s no turning back tonight
once you step into the light.
Flashing lights burning bright
luring you closer & closer & closer.
There’s no turning back tonight
once you step into the light.

This Time Around

Better days, I was in need of some better days.
I was searching for a better way.
I was hurting more than my heart could take.
Time for a change, I forgot who I wanted to be again.
Time has a way of making bitter pain go away day by day.
Keep moving forward so the light never fades…
and I want a love this time around
that I can truly say will never die down
and I want a love this time around
will stand for all time, long than my life
and I want a love this time around
that I can truly say will never die down
and I want a love this time around
will stand for all time, long than my life, life…
I followed my heart,
sometimes it felt like I was walking around in the dark.
I was standing up for people who tore me apart.
I was giving away pieces of my soul.
So long, goodbye regrets.
Regrestfully I have to move on to the next.
Respectfully I have to try to be the best, nothing less.
I’m moving far, far away, far from the dark…
and I want a love this time around
that I can truly say will never die down
and I want a love this time around
will stand for all time, long than my life
and I want a love this time around
that I can truly say will never die down
and I want a love this time around
will stand for all time, long than my life, life…
I followed my heart,
sometimes it felt like I was walking around in the dark.
I was standing up for people who tore me apart.
I was giving away pieces of my soul.
So long, goodbye regrets.
Regretfully I have to move on to the next.
Respectfully I have to try to be the best, nothing less.
I’m moving far, far away, far from the dark…
and I want a love this time around
that I can truly say will never die down
andI want a love this time around
will stand for all time, long than my life
and I want a love this time around
that I can truly say will never die down
and I want a love this time around
will stand for all time, long than my life, life…
I followed my heart,
sometimes it felt like I was walking around in the dark.
I was standing up for people who tore me apart.
I was giving away pieces of my soul.
So long, goodbye regrets.
Regrestfully I have to move on to the next.
Respectfully I have to try to be the best, nothing less.
I’m moving far, far away, far from the dark…

I’m taking a chance on love.
I’m taking a chance on love, one more time.
I’m taking a chance on love.
I’m taking a chance on love, one more time.
I’m choosing my heart over my mind.
I’m choosing love, could be the last time.
I could be wrong, how do I tell what is right?
I’m choosing to live without regret.
I’m choosing to give and not give up on us yet.
Got so much to lose, how do I just let it end?
I wanna know if love, if love can make it?
I know I believe in true love, I’m not faking.
I wanna know that we stood together went the distance.
cuz when there’s just so much between us,
can we just walk away without taking a chance on love?
I’m taking a chance on love.
I’m taking a chance on love, one more time.
I’m taking a chance on love.
I’m taking a chance on love, one more time…

7 days like 7 years
7 ways to bring these tears
waterfalls down my face
broken memories I can't replace
Still we go on and on
facing battles through it all
could be standing tall
embracing love after the fall
7 words like 7 knives
7 lies told to these eyes
hurricane in my soul
shattered visions of our love once told
Still we keep wasting time
obsessed with what we've left behind
If only we could have known
the cracks inside these walls would show
Chorus
It all falls down, truth revealed
what goes around comes around
It all falls down, truth revealed
what goes around comes around
It all falls down (all falls down)
nothing to do but just embrace the change
Its over now (over now)
Tomorrow is a brand new day
It all falls down (all falls down)
nothing to do but just embrace the change
Its over now (over now)
Tomorrow is a brand new day
Rap:
When it all falls down/ I’m on all fours now/
Groping and hoping I won’t fall out/
Choking I’m broken I’m moping around/
Would’ve spoken but you put the phone call down/
I tried to call you denied it all/
And you clipped my wings, couldn’t fly at all/
See this love is hard I won’t lie to ya’ll/
Cause you struck my heart with a fireball/
But I rise like a phoenix/
With a brand new style like a remix/
There’s a brand new sign and I need it/
I got a brand new smile and you see it/ yes!
So you’re the one that blundered now/
And you probably wonder how/
So I’mma pull your number down/
Cause what goes around/ comes around..
It all falls down, truth revealed
what goes around comes around
It all falls down, truth revealed
what goes around comes around
It all falls down, truth revealed
what goes around comes around
It all falls down, truth revealed
what goes around comes around

RJ v1
I was strung out
Couldn’t get over the hurt I tried to hide
I’d run into a dead end
Nobody but me could make me realize
That I cant depend on anyone else
Had to the find the strength inside
And when I did you appeared
Right outta nowhere you cam into my life
Can v1
I was alone
Tryna be happy doin it on my own
Waiting for someone to call me
Staring at the phone
Thought it was crazy for you to call me
When I aint with someone
I wanna take you on a journey
cuz I still Believe in love
Chorus 1:
Have you ever been
So high, so high, so high.
Ive Never been
So high, so high, so high.
X 2
RJ v2.1
Everyday I wake up
Feeling alive knowing you believe in me
Can v2.1
Oh babay when I open my eyes
You are the only thing I wanna see
RJ v2.2
& I was so damn blind
but I couldn’t deny that we share pure chemistry
Can v2.2
& everyday you open my eyes to new horizons
new possibilities
Chorus 2:
Have you ever been
So high, so high, so high.
Ive Never been
So high, so high, so high.
X 2
Bridge
What we feel is incredible right now
but baby lets take it slow
There’s gonna be sometimes when things don’t work out
Let’s just enjoy the show
BOTH v3
So here we are,
ready and willing to take this 1 day at a time
and if we can hold on
this might be the best we’ll ever find
if we believe in love
there’ll be nothing else we’ll ever need
RJ
You could be my one
Can
& you could be my happily for-ever-after
Final Chorus:

RJ
Got a heavy heart
I know in time I'll heal
but these wounds I can't seal away
I feel too much
the love will last beyond time
its a shame that love was not enough for us to be together
the damage is done, I shot the gun in self defense
& she played the only hand that i couldn't fight against
yes, she may have knocked me down, lost me you
I know inside your heart that you know the truth
CHORUS x 2
that I only ever loved you
and she didn't really want me to
I didn't know that I would fall so hard
I didn't know that she could be so cruel
ZIYON
Never thought it would be over
Always thought things would be different
Now I must confess
My greatest love became my greatest regret
Looking at old pics feeling stressed
I wonder what happened to our happiness
Thought in you I found some substance
Now it's bye bye Ms. Hollowness
The damage is done
Now you and I can no longer co exist
Sometimes I sit and wonder how things turned out like this
You must have told yourself a lie
Cause there is no way in hell that you could not see
ZIYON CHORUS
that I only ever loved you
But you didn't really want me to
I didn't think that I could fall so hard
I didn't think that you could be so cruel
DUET CHORUS
RJ - I only ever loved you
and she didn't really want me to
I didn't know that I would fall so hard
I didn't know that she could be so cruel
Ziyon - that I only ever loved you
RJ - and she didn't really want me to
Ziyon - I didn't think that I could fall so hard
RJ - I didn't know that love could be so cruel
Ziyon - Saying that I only ever loved you
RJ - And she didn't really want me to
Ziyon - I didn't think that I could fall so hard darling, oh no not for you
RJ - I didn't know that love could be so cruel
RJ & Ziyon - da da da da da...

Nobody Else
03:14

Nobody ever tells me what to believe in
and no matter what they tell me I still believe in love, you and me in love,
I cant be with anybody else, everybody else is just a fake imitation of
You, you, you, theres nobody else but
you, you, you cuz nobody else will
do, do, do…
cuz nobody else is you, you, you.
Anybody else can see that youre hurting me
so why do ignore advice that I receive?
You see, I believe that you and I are meant to be,
we’ll struggly through the hard times, looking for the good times,
together we’ll make it…
Through, through, through, theres nobody else but
you, you, you cuz nobody else will
do, do, do
cuz nobody else is you, you, you.
Let’s not forget, lets not regret, lets not pretend
The best is yet to come to you.
To see the future all you have to do is hold me tight
and let my tears be dreams of my life with you, you…
You, you, you, theres nobody else but
you, you, you cuz nobody else will
do, do, do…
cuz nobody else is you, you, you.
Nobody else will do cuz nobody else is you…

Dali Wami, Oh Dali Wami
Dali Wami, Oh Dali Wami
Whenever rainbows form, after rain has fallen
The sun shines through, it was just like you
You lit up the dark, reignited the spark
A work of art, just the way you are
And when I tried to hide the feelings
I couldn't stop myself from believing
You were right for me , you're all I need
Oceans apart
Couldn't stop our hearts from beating as one
Ngicel(a) usondele sondele S'thandane
(pls come closer, come closer, let's be together/love each other)
(I) don't wanna waste any more time, no
Ngicel(a) usondele sondele S'thandane

Thando lwami lonk(e) olwakho (All the love I have is yours)
Ngiyaz' nikela ngungowakho (I surrender Im yours)
Dali Wami, Oh Dali Wami
Ngingowakho, Oh Dali Wami
Noma bengathini ng'hamba nawe
(No matter what they say I choose you)
Ngibazamile bontle abanye
(I've tried everything/body else)
Noma umdeni Wami ung'phikisa
(Even if my family is against me)
Thine sofa s'lahlane ooh
(It'll be you and I till death do us part)
Noma nkanzima
(No matter how hard it gets)
Uthando lwetho ngeke

Luphelele emoyeni

Umoya Wami wavuma

Ngicel(a) usondele sondele S'thandane

I dont wanna do this without you.

I just cant take it no way, no way.

You don't have to know that I'm praying for you
You don't have to know that I'm standing in the gap for you
You don't have to see the tears roll down my face
You don't have to hear words I speak on your behalf
thing maybe working for the better and you don't know why
I'm here to tell you he's been listening
He's heard me pray and you don't even have to know
I don't have to know your darkest fears
I don't have to know whats held you captive all these years, oh no
you don't have to tell me whats hurting you inside
all I gotta do is pray for God to bless your life
Never a time when you're walking all by yourself
I'm here to tell you he's been listening
He's answered my prayers and you don't even have to know
You don't have to know...
you don't even have to know
(pray on)...
If there's someone in this room that's praying just for you, pray on...
