Vision Of Love

Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me

Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered from alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeeded
In finding the place I conceived

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me

I've realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven has sent down to me

You treated me kind
Sweet destiny
And I'll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights
So faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you turned out to be

There's Got to Be a Way A broken man without a home Desperate and so alone A victim of society No one really wants to see Some of us don't even wonder Some of us don't even care Couldn't we just help each other Isn't there enough to share Chorus: There's got to be a way To connect this world today Come together to relieve the pain There's got to be a way To unite this human race And together we'll bring a change In another land they still believe Color grants supremacy I don't understand How there can be Regulated bigotry Some of us don't even wonder Some of us don't even care Couldn't we accept each other Can't we make ourselves aware Chorus And maybe then future will be a time Without war, destitution and sorrow And hungry children Won't have to die If we work together today We'll save tomorrow Some of us don't even wonder Some of us don't even care Couldn't we just love each other Isn't there enough to share Chorus Top
I Don't Wanna Cry Once again we sit in silence After all is said and done Only emptiness inside us Baby, look what we've become We can make a million promises But still we won't change It isn't right to stay together When you only bring each other pain Chorus: I don't wanna cry Don't wanna cry Nothing in the world Could take us back To where we used to be Though I've given you my heart and soul I must find a way of letting go 'Cause baby, I don't wanna cry Too far apart to bridge the distance But something keeps us hanging on and on Pretending not to know the difference Denying what we had is gone Every moment we're together It's just breaking me down I know we swore it was forever But it hurts too much to stay around Chorus All the magic's gone There's just a shadow of a memory Something just went wrong We can't go on make-believing Chorus Top
Someday You were so blind to let me go You had it all but didn't know No one you'll find will ever be Closer to all your dreams than me Believing the grass would be greener You told yourself "I just don't need her now" But I know you'll soon discover You're never satisfied with any other Chorus: Someday Oo someday One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for Someday hey hey Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score You'll change your mind and call my name Soon as you find they're all the same And when you find yourself alone Don't come back crying You should have known Believe me I'm not pretending It's not hard to predict This ending now 'Cause I know you'll soon discover You're needing me in spite of all the others Chorus Maybe now you just can't conceive That there'll ever come a time When you're cold and lonely Baby, how could you ever believe That another could replace me The one and only But when you're down In your time of need And you're thinking that you Might be coming back to own me Just think again 'cause I won't need your love anymore! Chorus Top
Vanishing If I could recapture All of the memories And bring them to life Surely I would Hear the distant laughter Wasn't it you and me Surviving the night You're fading out of my sight Swiftly Chorus: You're vanishing Drifting away You're vanishing I was so enraptured No sensibility To open my eyes I misunderstood Now you're fading faster It's suddenly hard to see You're taking the light Letting the shadows inside Swiftly Chorus Reaching out into the distance Searching for spirits of the past Just a trace of your existence to grasp And if somehow I could recapture All of the memories And bring them to life Lord knows I would But now you're fading faster Getting so hard to see Taking the light Letting the darkness inside Swiftly Chorus Top
All in Your Mind Come closer You seem so far away There's something I know you need to say I feel your emotions When I look in your eyes Your silence Whispering misunderstandings There's so much you need to realize You'll feel my emotions if you look in my eyes Chorus: Hey darlin' I know you think my love is slipping away But baby it's all in your mind Don't worry Hold on tight and hear me when I say Baby it's all in your mind Believe me I believe in you There is nothing this feeling couldn't do Move closer my darling Feel the love in my eyes Chorus Top
Alone in Love Chorus: Swept me away But now I'm lost in the dark Set me on fire But now I'm left with a spark Alone, you got beyond the haze and I'm lost inside the maze I guess I'm all alone in love I look into your eyes You turn the other way And now I realize It's all a game you play I hold you in the night And wake to find you gone You're running out of sight It's so hard holding on All alone in love Chorus You haunt me in my dreams I'm calling out your name I watch you fade away Your love is not the same I've figured out your style To quickly drift apart You held me for a while Planned it from the start All alone in love Sitting in the dark without you How am I supposed to make it Through the night Slowly fall apart without you Cry away the hours Till the morning light Chorus Top
You Need Me Wait a minute Before you walk away Let me finish I've got a lot to say Baby, I'm not gonna tolerate This game that you play You'll regret it If you desert me this way When there's nobody To dry your eyes Suddenly you're gonna realize Chorus: (Don't you know) You need me (Don't you see) Believe me Before you act so hastily Baby remember you need me Honey listen, don't make a big mistake I'm in your system You really can't escape When there is nobody To hold your hand Suddenly you're gonna understand Chorus No one understands you like I do After everything That we've been through Baby, you can turn around and leave But I know that you'll keep Coming right back to me Chorus Top
Sent From Up Above I can't imagine Looking in someone else's eyes What we have surpasses Even paradise It's hard to fathom Reaching for someone else's hand What we share is magic Heaven had a plan Chorus: Sent from up above So much love In my life I can't get enough Of your touch-feels so right Unending passion Somehow the fire never dies What we share Is everlasting Love without demise He made it happen Placed so much joy into our hands What we dreamed We finally captured Heaven took command Chorus Top
Prisoner You don't think that I'll be strong enough No, baby now I won't be a prisoner of your love (Prisoner of your love) Maybe you don't think That I'll be strong enough But I'm not gonna be a Prisoner of your love I know you're lying, denying All of your actions So listen up 'cause here's my reaction Here comes the night No more living in the shadow of your love This is my life You always tried so hard to keep me down But now I'll rise above Those empty lies Stop pretending that my accusations Take you by surprise I've realized Now I'm ending all the secrecy I see through your disguise All the dreams we planned I believed so I held on I understand So when the morning comes You know that I'll be gone You don't think that I'll be strong enough I won't be a prisoner of your love No longer blind I can focus on deception Used to keep me by your side I read your mind Don't believe it's all a mystery There's nothing you can hide It's all defined There's nothing you can tell me now To change the way I feel inside All the dreams we planned I believed so I held on I understand So when the morning comes You know that I'll be gone You don't think that I'll be strong enough I won't be the prisoner of your love I'm just not the girl you thought I was I won't be the prisoner of your love So if you wanna Get my love You can't be a liar Play when you see me And then say Mariah "I miss you" Expect me to hug and kiss you Don't wanna diss you But I guess I'm not The girl you though I was I've had enough And now I'll see you later cous' Boy maybe you think That I won't be strong enough But I'm not gonna be a prisoner Baby of your love I'm not one of those girls Who'll wait around Crying 'cause You played me baby all over town You can't do that I'm not a go mat You're just a playright That's not my format Ha, ha, ha, ha Seeya! Top
Love Takes Time I had it all But I let it slip away Couldn't see I treated you wrong Now I wander around Feeling down and cold Trying to believe that you're gone Chorus: Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I was blind To let you go I can't escape the pain Inside Love takes time I don't want to be here alone Losing my mind From this hollow in my heart Suddenly I'm so incomplete Lord I'm needing you now Tell me how to stop the rain Tears are falling down endlessly Chorus You might say that it's over You might say that you don't care You might say you don't miss me You don't need me But I know that you do, and I feel that you do Inside Chorus Top
