I've been a devil and I've been a saint
We've all been black, all been white
Mostly different shades of gray
We can't define ourselves this way, it's only paint
But what kind of stains do they create?
And does it build me, lesson learned
Make me stronger, will I earn an understanding
Or stay frozen, choose my fate
And despite the plight of people
I believe we have an equal but demanding obligation to change
No matter what the things we've done
We are only human
Let me start over just so I can restate, how
I hope you find someone to love you
And someone, for you to love too
I hope you find someone to love you
And someone, for you to love too (And let love be your light)
I've been a father and I've been a son
I've been abandoned and collected
Adopted and perfected
Built connections, had connections come undone, yeah
But what kind of friend did I become
One who supports you when you're weak
Encouragement, I speak
I'll be the best that I can be until I'm gone
Because despite the plight of people
I believe we have an equal but demanding obligation to change
It doesn't matter where you've been
We are only human
I'll say again, my wish for you is simply, yeah
I hope you find someone to love you
And someone, for you to love too
I hope you find someone to love you
And someone, for you to love too
Oh, and someone, for you to love too
Despite the plight of people
I believe we have an equal but demanding obligation to change
Let love in
Don't matter where you've been
Let love in
We are only human
Let love in
Back to the well again, back to the well again
And let love be your light
It will show you the way
And what you seek will always seek you back
So keep love in your gaze
Let love be your light
It will show you the way
Let love in
No matter where you've been
Let love in
We are only human
Let love in
Back to the well again, back to the well again
I hope you find someone to love you
And someone, for you to love too
I hope you find someone to love you
And someone, for you to love too
And let love be your light
It will show you the way
And someone, for you to love too
And let love be your light I hope you find someone who loves you
And someone, for you to love too
And let love be your light
It will show you the way
And someone, for you to love too
And let love be your light I hope you find someone who loves you
And someone, for you to love too
In the realm of music, this exquisite, human form of expression
Encompasses an abundance of styles, an array of genres
Consider this album
Is it the rhythmic cadence of hip-hop
The soulful resonance of blues
The infectious beats of pop
The electrifying energy of rock
The passionate rhythms of Latin
The spiritual harmony of gospel
No my friends
It transcends these categories
It is something altogether unique
Something I like to call R/E
In this unpredictable journey called life, there are but a few certainties we can hold onto
First, never stumble into the wrong house when you're running late for band practice
Second, if you can avoid it, never engage in a skirmish with the sound guy
And lastly, remember, above all else, to be good people

    i think the first few parts mean that you have to let whatever happens happen. it's all part of god's will and masterplan for you. but the last two verses starting with, "you must be an angel/ cause things made sense" is not on the CD i own... the following are the verses on mine: lord, won't you grant me new eyes so i can see what good are song with no dances i wanna to live to live and take my chances i wanna live today leave inhibitions in the wind what good are songs with no dances, i pray lord, won't you grant me? won't you grant me? lord, won't you grant me?"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
