Verse
Your heart is a river that flows right by me
I need to dive in so desperately 

Chorus
But each day you find a way to go
You roll and roll and roll endlessly

Don’t you want to go  
Down with me
Flow flow flow
Nice and easy
You don’t have to be alone 
As the current goes
You can roll roll roll with me

Verse
Doesn’t the river get lonely going on and on and on
Wouldn’t it be nice to have something, somebody of your own

Chorus
But each day you find a way to go
You roll and roll and roll endlessly

Don’t you want to go  
Down with me
Flow flow flow
Nice and easy
You don’t have to be alone 
As the current goes
You can roll roll roll with me

If you ever find you’re running dry 
I’ll be by the riverside

The Riverside

Verse 1
Whisper, whisper down the hall
Busy bees acting small 
Wherever you go you will find
Those who lead and those who stand in line
I know you have a special spark
Long to break from the dark
Time to find the strength inside
To cast your fears, fears aside ‘cause

Chorus
People get cruel mean, mean, mean 
Jealousy burns in emerald green
But a lion should not lose sleep
Over the opinions of sheep
No a lion should not lose sleep
Over sheep

Verse 2
Lies, lies and the truth 
They both have ways of cutting you
Twisted tales how they’re told
Like drilling nails through your soul
You’re more than any herd of hate 
Your dreams are not theirs to take
Close your ears to spiteful talk
Show them your back as you walk away ‘cause

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
They never say it to your face or stand alone anyway
The many never take a stand
So sleep tight baby you’re living in the Promised Land

Repeat Chorus

Lions And Sheep

Verse 1
I didn’t know that I was living in the dark 
Until you lit, you lit this spark inside me
I’m falling but don’t catch me
Its not like I don’t know, don’t know I have it good
But on these days when you’re not where you should be
Right here beside me

Oh I get pouty 
Oh I get a little down
Oh I’m not much fun to be around

Chorus
I want to color outside the lines with you
Do something just to break the rules, the rules
Get a little crazy, let my hair down
Lose my shoes while we dance through the crowd
Sing along to Elvis songs, laugh ‘till we cry
Paint the stars, make them ours
And color outside the lines

Verse 2
When you speak the words just fall right out your lips
You make no effort it flows out so smoothly
When you lean, you lean, you lean in close to me
Fireworks inside I’m barely breathing
It’s magic never knew could exist

Oh above the clouds now
Oh never coming down
Oh how you spin my world around, around, around

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
When you hold me this way
I don’t know what to say

Repeat Chorus

Outside The Lines

Verse
I’ll be waiting for you, I’ll be right here
You must go and face all your darkest fears
‘Cause I won’t watch you fade away
I care too much to let you live this way

Chorus
‘Cause I would be your sunshine but you’re just hiding in the dark
And I would be the fire that warms your troubled heart
But you won’t let me in, the doors just not open
You don’t have room inside to love somebody else
‘Till you learn to love yourself

Verse
I would carry you but I can’t bear the weight
With you under the covers, hidden and afraid
‘Cause I, no I won’t watch you fade
If it’s what it takes to reach you, I will walk away

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
So I’m praying, oh I’m praying
You’ll find the truth in these painful words I’m saying

Chorus
‘Cause I would be your sunshine but you’re just hiding in the dark
And I would be the fire that warms your troubled heart
If you just let me in, keep the door open
I know there’s room inside to love this someone else
When you learn to love yourself

Love Yourself

Chorus
I will rise on an angel’s wings
Don’t count me out 
Out of anything
I am down but don’t you be surprised
I will rise, I will rise

Verse 1
It’s all falling to pieces slipping through my hands fast
I am in a state of weakness drowning in how nothing lasts
And no I don’t know where to go from here, but

Repeat Chorus
I will rise on an angel’s wings
Don’t count me out 
Out of anything
I am down but don’t you be surprised
I will rise, I will rise

Verse 2
Who I am will be defined by how I face this trying truth
Sometimes learning to be strong means letting someone carry you
And no I don’t know where to go from here, but
 
Repeat Chorus
I will rise on an angel’s wings
Don’t count me out 
Out of anything
I am down but don’t you be surprised
I will rise, I will rise

I will rise on an angel’s wings
(I will rise on an angel’s wings)
I will rise through anything
(Don’t count me out)
I will rise, don’t be surprised
I will rise

I Will Rise

Verse 1 
I’ve been thinking about it baby longer than I’m proud to admit
Every time I’m near you darling I feel more and more of it
Palpable reaction to a chemical attraction it’s true 
So deep under my skin there’s only one thing that I wanna do
I’ve been dreaming crazy dreams 
Let me let you in on my schemes 

Chorus
Wouldn’t it be the perfect crime
If I stole your heart and you stole mine
Get crazy with me baby 
I’ll take the keys to your soul
You’ll rob me of my self-control
Don’t be afraid to get renegade
If you’re ready to do the time
Let’s go commit the perfect crime, crime, crime

Verse 2
How’s about if you and me we play a little game
I’ll get inside your heart to every part until you go insane
There s something to be said when someone gets inside your head so deep
There’s nothing you can do because you can’t even eat or sleep
I’ve been dreaming crazy dreams 
Let me let you in on my schemes

Bridge
One touch from me will show you what you’ve never seen
And one kiss from your lips will bring me complete bliss
Uh huh oh oh 
Can you feel how it will go
Break it down now

Repeat Chorus 2X

The Perfect Crime

VERSE
I’m closing my eyes, letting it go
Turing my back, ending the show
I’ve done what I should but, not what I dare
Tired of being safe, through being scared
‘Cause I can’t

CHORUS
I can’t wait any longer on a change that may never come
And I need to be stronger ‘cause I’m not that someone
Who can stay here out of fear
I’ll be my own change
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

VERSE
Don’t care who laughs, or says I’m insane
No turning back, ignited the flames
‘Cause I can’t

REPEAT CHORUS
 
BRIDGE
Fire raging in my soul
I now know where to go

REPEAT CHORUS

I'll Be My Own Change
