You can pick me up, Drag me round the block, But you ain't gonna bring me down. You can scream and shout, Take what's mine not yours, But you ain't gonna bring me down. You can build me up, And make walls around me, But you ain't gonna bring me down. You can tell me lies, Say you're someone that you're not, But you ain't gonna bring me down. You can light fires around me, Throw me out into a storm, But you ain't gonna bring me down. You can make me believe, In something that's not there, But you ain't gonna bring me down. You can cuss and yell, You can try to knock me out, But you ain't gonna bring me down. You can send

Here we go again. Walk down the street, Run across the road, Try not to miss the bus, Head on to school, 'nother workload Here we go again Physics lesson one, German lesson two, No time to spare for talking, Got some things to do Here we go again, Weaving through the corridor, Have to beat the bell, So many people nearby, Summer time is hell Here we go again Up to floor three, Down to floor one, Tiredness is overwhelming, Got to keep moving on Here we go again Mad rush to the door Tripping over people's feet, Dodging books and bags, Got some people I need to meet Here we go again Get home and dump your things Yes I

I look at you, And you see right through me. I smile at you, And you pretend I'm not there. I cry for you, And you look straight past me. I pray for you, And you refuse to care. I kill for you, But you don't know my name. I die for you, And finally you notice.

What can I say? About the way I feel about you. You pick me up when I'm down, You make me laugh when I'm upset, You let me cry when I need to. What can I say? I've known you for so long, The only permanent thing in my life. We've been through it all, And we still come out on top. What can I say? I owe you so much. You've saved my life, In more ways than one. Thank you doesn't cut it. What can I say? You're my rock and my shield. You keep me out of harms way, But let me learn from my mistakes. My teacher and my colleague. What can I say? I couldn't live without you. You let me stand on my own two feet, You let me go when

Forgive me for not seeing the point. Of always cheating and lying, All the backstabbing and crying, Hating people you don't disappoint. Forgive me for wondering what's up, Why there's murders each day, Why people always stay away, How come others want me to trip up. Forgive me for wondering how, People don't say things to your face, Like they think you're a nut case, But played nice right up until now. Forgive me for wondering why, Society is messed up, Why things stay shut up, How come some people don't seem to try. Forgive me for being just plain me, Acting the same at home, As I do when I'm not alone, Why's it something

Hey you, shut up, and listen to me. I'm America's Brit-Girl, raised overseas. Many years ago, in old London town A kid was born with her finger to the crown. Husband number one, dad to my sister and me, Best guy around, it was easy to see. We lived with him until I was four, But dragged to Chicago, I didn't see him anymore. Daddy number two, basketball all-star Direct hits whether near or far. Lost his job, poor old guy, Whisked off, no time for goodbye. Next stop New Jersey, Maine, New Orleans, Desire got old, off to Toronto, NYC. Settled in Pittsburg with pop number three, Wasn't there long, didn't much like me. When I was s

As you think about this life, And what it has in store, I'll be the world that waits for you, Just outside the door. As you are walking down the street, Looking at the floor, I'll be the people you didn't greet, The child that you ignored. When you come home from work, And think that you must hide, I'll be that voice you're looking for, That says, 'At least you tried.' Watch  the birds that fly up high, And watch the rain that falls, I'll be that nagging voice in you, That cries, 'You must stand tall.' When you think that all is lost, And debate if it is true, I'll be the hope  you think is gone Just look  inside of you…

Angel, are you listening? While momma cries in her room again, She had an argument with my brother, And now daddy's trying to calm them down. Angel, are you listening? Miss said she was proud of me today, I did really well on my spelling test, And she gave me a shiny gold star. Angel, are you listening? My kitty ran away this morning, Will I ever see her again? Are you watching her from up there? Angel, are you listening? I made a new friend at break time, We get on really well, she has an angel all her own, Is it you? Angel, are you listening? Is my friend gonna be ok? We were playing in the park earlier, And a big red van
