lyrics
Captured - I’ve been caught Captured - I’ve been taught Captured - I’ve been bought Captured Captured - by a screen Captured - by a scene Captured - by a dream Captured Captured by the left Captured by the right Captured by a cult Captured by a tribe Captured by the press Captured in a herd Captured by a test Captured by this word Captured Captured - by guilt and shame Captured - in a rich man’s game Captured - by money and fame Captured Captured - I’ve been seized Captured - I’ve been teased Captured - I’ve been squeezed Captured Captured by the left Captured by the right Captured by a cult Captured by a tribe Captured by the press Captured in a herd Captured by a test Captured by this word Captured C A P T U R E D Captured C A P T U R E D Captured - I’ve been caught Captured - I’ve been caught Captured - I’ve been caught Captured - I’ve been caught Captured C A P T U R E D Captured, Captured C A P T U R E D Captured, Captured C A P T U R E D Captured Captured...

Lost 04:05
lyrics
Sometimes I have to disappear Hide myself in some room And when they need a reason I just say I'm ill But who could know this feeling Who could know but you? Wherever I go Or whatever I do I am lost Without you To live in a place Where I always feel strange And to know that I Could never change It's only when I think of you I don't need to explain You let me exist Like the wind and the rain I am lost Without you Well, they love me for the person That I pretend to be But when I slip into myself They ask, What's wrong with me? But who could know this feeling Who could know but you? Wherever I go Or whatever I do I am lost Without you I am lost Without you

Suddenly 03:26
lyrics
Suddenly you’re in the game Suddenly you’re being shamed Suddenly you are to blame Suddenly you have been maimed Out of the blue your world’s upside down Out of the blue there’s a different sound Out of the blue you see who’s around Out of the blue your voice is being drowned Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly It’s hard to be a child in a childish world It’s easy to be a fool and be heard It’s hard to believe what’s in front of your eyes It’s easy to be smart without being wise Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly (Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will hurt and never heal) Suddenly the wind has changed Suddenly your spirit waned Suddenly you are trained Suddenly you feign being sane Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly Suddenly...

Hey! What Ya Gonna Do? 04:07
lyrics
What you’ve got, you don’t want to lose And what you don’t have gives you the blues And you will never be satisfied Even when time is not on your side Hey! What ya gonna do? Hey! What ya gonna do? Always looking for something new But never looking inside of you Even when your body has grown tired You keep on chasing the same desires Hey! What ya gonna do? Hey! What ya gonna do? What ya gonna... Now the coast is clear And the sea waits there To take the plunge, To lay yourself bare. To never look back And never to care For your name and your story. Hey! What ya gonna do? Hey! What ya gonna do...?

Losing Sleep 03:15
lyrics
You're losing sleep You've fallen deep In your thoughts You're in a place There is no space There's no open door You can't see beyond this world Which has suddenly unearthed For thee It's so dark in your mind It's hard to find some peace It's so broken in your heart You're torn apart from thee You can't see beyond this world Which has suddenly unearthed For thee Try to sleep Try to sleep Try to sleep Try to Sleep

Today Ain't The Day 03:39
lyrics
When the storm is over You'll take the reigns Make up for all the time You've thrown away You'll make a difference You'll make a change But today ain't the day When the winds stop blowing You'll be sharp and swift Rise early in the morning Get yourself fit You will be less selfish You'll go out of your way But today ain't the day When the rain stops falling You'll get straight to it Get that blood pumping Get that mind lit You will be more focused You won't stray But today ain't the day No, today ain't that day

Nina Simone 03:24
lyrics
Nina You're the Queena Nina Nina Simone Nina Wish I had seen ya Nina Nina Simone So much heart and soul Goes right through my bones Your music never gets old No one can take your throne (No, no, no, no, no) Nina So genuina Nina Nina Simone So much heart and soul Goes right through my bones Your music never gets old No one can take your throne (No, no, no, no, no) Nina Simone Nina Simone Nina Simone Nina Simone... No one can clone Nina Simone No one can clone Nina Simone... Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina...

I Wanna Fly Away (Words by Simon Hayward) 03:50
lyrics
All my days I've been searching as you will understand For a sacred moment and a movement of a hand For the glimmer of a light to guide each of my plans For this hollow feeling to be scattered in the sand I wanna fly away I wanna fly away But the moment never comes I can never find the key That will unlock the chains to my own futility Like Prometheus to his stone I'm chained to my destiny Each day in eternity I'm longing to be free I wanna fly away I wanna fly away I'll keep the fire burning I'll never let it die 'cause when you're done with yearning well, you've got no alibi Like a distant star blinking in the sky You'll be nothing but a shadow of a former life I wanna fly away I wanna fly away... Fly Away Fly Away Fly Away Fly Away...

Bless Your Heart (My Sweet Soul) 03:08
lyrics
Bless your heart my sweet soul It never dies, never grows old It’s warm as the sun Fresh as the morning dew You let it breathe, let it unfold It’s something new to behold In a world where the light Hardly gets through Oh bless your heart My sweet soul You expose my fleeting role Flick a switch, show me the whole Turn my head To another view O bless your heart My sweet soul You’re set free, you’re an open book You know how to be, you know how to look You’re the key, you’re all that’s good You make me feel how I should O bless your heart My sweet soul Bless your heart my sweet soul It never dies, never grows old It’s warm as the sun Fresh as the morning dew O bless your heart My sweet soul You’re set free, you’re an open book You know how to be, you know how to look You’re the key, you’re all that’s good You make me feel how I should O bless your heart My sweet soul O bless your heart My sweet soul O bless your heart My sweet soul

Rollin' For Thee 02:57
lyrics
You saw a clear reflection You saw a steady sea You saw a new horizon You felt the mystery You heard your heart a singin' You watched your mind go still You knew your eyes were shinin' You knew you'd found your will And you keep rollin' You keep rollin' For thee You're passing with the seasons You let your garments fall All your selves are leavin' Some run and some crawl Now things are getting clearer You're coming out a mist Ever since you surrendered Ever since you quit And you keep rollin' You keep rollin' For thee Your name has gone forever Your past does not exist There's nothing now to remember There's nothing to miss Now you're a clear reflection You're the steady sea You're a new horizon You're a mystery And you keep rollin' You keep rollin' For thee
