LYRICS

How could you lie right to my face, then walk away?
How could you say you loved me still, then fly away?

CHORUS

Oh, it's a mystery, this thing called Love
Oh, it's a fantasy, that was our Love

VERSE

Why didn't we end as friends, and say all our goodbyes?
Why is my heart still torn in two, my eyes can't dry?
Why didn't I see the signs before, you slammed the door? 
How did we come so far so long? What was it for?

CHORUS 

Oh, it's a mystery, this thing called Love

Why didn't you stay?
Why did you fly away?
Why did you leave me without a trace?

VERSE

Why did you keep me wondering, oh every day?
Why all this pain inside, I've still so much to say?
Did you even mean those words you said last night?
Why did you leave and let me fail? I've lost my mind

If I knew you loved me too, what would I say? 
If you knew I loved you still, why fly away?

CHORUS 

Oh, it's a mystery, this thing called Love

Why didn't you stay?
Why did you fly away?
Why did you leave me without a trace?

OUTRO

Why did I stay?
Why didn’t I fly away?
Where did you go?
Where did you fly away?
Oh..……Fly away
I’m flying, just flying 
I’m flying away

Love Is A Mystery

LYRICS:

Oh Dark Night!
This anxious love aflamed
Oh Happy Lot!
Unobserved I went
Oh Dark Night!
My house is now
Is now at rest

Oh Dark Night!
In darkness I am safe
Oh Happy Lot!
I am now disguised
Oh Dark Night!
On secret steps
I'm now at rest

Chorus 1

Oh Dark Night!
In that secret place
Oh Dark Night!
In that happy night
Oh Dark Night!
I was seen by no one
I had no guide

Oh Dark Night!
It was just my heart
Oh Dark Night!
It was burning bright
Oh Dark Night!
It was all Your light
That was my guide

Verse 2

Oh Happy Night!
You were leading me
Oh Happy Lot!
To the place You see
Oh Happy Night!
You were there for me
Just waiting

Oh Dark Night!
You were kept for me
Oh Happy Lot!
You were lovelier than
Oh Happy Night!
The morning dawn
How I cherished You
My Dark Night!

Chorus 2

In all of this beauty
My Dark Night!
How You filled me
My Dark Night!
Sensations left me
They left me

My Dark Night!
I was lost in love
My Dark Night!
All my cares now gone
My Dark Night!
I was resting in
What I forgot
Oh Dark Night!

This house is still
Oh Happy Night!
This house is still
Oh Happy Night!
My house is still
Oh Dark Night!

Inspired by the poem "The Dark Night of the Soul" by St John Of The Cross

Oh Dark Night

LYRICS:

On the edge of Jericho, the sun was blazing hot
A blind man sat there waiting, just stuck to his own spot
He felt a frenzy rising and whispering all around

Chorus 1

"What’s happening? Tell me, what's the scene?"
"It's Jesus the Nazarene!"
The blind man cried out desperately
"It's Jesus, help me, please!"

Verse 2

The crowd tried to hush him, but he shouted "Have mercy, please!"
His voice cut through the chaos, calling most urgently
Jesus stopped and told them, "Bring him here to me,"
"What do you want, my child?" 
"I want to be set free"

Chorus 2

Jesus, Son of God
Have mercy now on me
Jesus, Son of God
I want to be set free

Jesus, Son of God
Have mercy please on me
Jesus, Son of God
I finally want to see

Outro

"Go ahead and see
Your faith has set you free..."

Be Set Free

LYRICS:

This baby in the cradle
A miracle called You
I never thought I'd feel this way
A Love so pure and true

Don't be afraid to be amazing 
Don't be afraid to be you
There's still so much to be exploring
And so much more to do

Your eyes light up like sunrise
Your smile, it makes me sing
Your laughter helps me see the world 
You're my favorite thing

You can change as often as you like
And say whatever comes to mind
You can mess up every day
Still the apple of my eye

Don't be afraid to be amazing 
Don't be afraid to be you 
There's still so much to be exploring
And so much more to do

You're amazing everyday
We're loving you all the way 
You're amazing everyday
I'm loving you all the way 
You're amazing everyday

Music & Lyrics by Esther Tan (16 June 2024)

Don't Be Afraid To Be Amazing

LYRICS:

I've only questions, no honest answers
I know it isn't fair to you
You want clarity, I've nothing to say to you
But strange, I'm happier with you

Chorus 1

You tried to save our light
By wanting still to have this fight
You'll never know what’s on my mind
I never could escape
In fact it's you who'd go away
Just trying to save our love this time

Verse 2

Why do I have no answers, when you have just more questions
Caught in this endless loop with you
If I should say goodbye, if I should pack and leave this time
Yet my heart won't follow through

Chorus 2

Stay with me, you say
You'll never be the same again
You say this time that you'd be you
I promise as of now
I'm here to stay and see it through
I know my life's complete with you

Verse 3

It's a mystery
Don't know how this love came to be
I guess I've always needed you
Sorry I have no answers
It must hurt to hear these words
I've nothing more to say to you

Chorus 3

You ask me where I've been
Why did I run away from you
Yet I'll forsake it all for you
It's always you, it's always you
You know I’m happier with you

Outro

It's always you, it's always you
You know I’m happier with you
