ITS THE ONE THING IN THIS
WORLD YOU CAN'T STOP
ALWAYS IN CONSTANT MOTION
LIKE THE TICKING OF A CLOCK
OR WAVES CRASHING ON THE OCEAN
LIKE THE BEATING OF YOUR HEART
OH I'LL NEVER FORGET ThE DAY
YOU STOOD UP ON TOP OF THAT HILL
AND TOLD ME
YOU LOVED ME
IT WAS THE DAY THAT TME STOOD STILL.

SPIN THE BOTTLE - A song about someone with drinking problem who decided to get help
SPIN THE BOTTLE

MY WHOLE WORLD
SEEMS TO BE FALLING
DOWN A LARGE DARK HOLE
I CAN SEE IT COMING
BUT I JUST DID NOTHING
UNTIL THAT CAR CRASHED INTO THAT POLE.

NO MATTER WHICH PATH

SOME DAYS YOU WILL WIN
SOME YOU'LL LOSE
SO NOW WHAT
ARE YOU GONNA DO?

IT'LL WASH THE PAIN AWAY
EVEN WHEN IT HURTS YOUR HEART.
WHEN YOU SEE A RAINBOW
THE STORM HAS PASSED YOU BY
HEN YOU SEE THAT SNOWCAPPED SUMMIT
YOU KNOW IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT
WHEN YOU SEE THAT EAGLE FLY
BECAUSE YOU'VE MADE IT
YOU'VE SCORED THE WINNING GOAL
YOU'VE CONQUERED YOUR HEART
YOU'VE STOOD UP TO THE DARKNESS
AND THE COLD
YOU CAN LIVE FREE AGAIN
YOU CANT HOLD BACK TEARS ANY LONGER
GO AHEAD ITS OK TO CRY
YOU CAN TURN YOUR BACK TO THE WIND
SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY
NOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND
YOU CAN GRAB THE REIGNS
AND RIDE ON WITH THE WIND
