Everything is up to you, oh that you aware
yeah you know just what you gotta do, the heart must be fare
you got your advance
forget about your worries now, we all make mistakes
you gotta make it anyhow 'cause you got what it takes right

now here's your big chance
you gotta make a move now

'Cause you're free to be all that you want to
So never let the days pass by
There's not a thing in this world that you can't do
All you gotta do is try
And you want to, yeah, we all want to

You know you gotta have a goal, before it's too late
So come on, you just have to be careful
just make your own fate now
You gotta make an effort, you gotta make your move now

'Cause you're free to be all that you want to
So never let the days pass by
There's not a thing in this world that you can't do
All you gotta do is try
And you want to, yeah we all wanna learn to fly

Yeah I know it's not an easy mission
To keep your goals up and so high
'Cause I know you've got ambition
So don't deny, now all you gotta do is try

'Cause you're free now
Yeah, you're free to be all that you want to
But let it be now
So never let the days pass by
'Cause you're free to be all that you want to
So never let the days pass by
There's not a thing in this world that you can't do
now all you gotta do is try, and you want to
yeah we all want to

    This song is one of the best on the kingwood-cd, i think. But is it wrong text on the verse. The right verse is:

    Everything is up to you, of what you're aware. You know just what you gotta do, the hard past to dare. Got to advance. Forget about your worries now, we all make mistakes. You're gonna make it anyhow, cause you've got what it takes, right!? Now here's your big chance, you've gotta make your move now.

    Cause you're free to be all that you want to, so don't ever let your dreams pass by. There's not a thing in this world that you can't do. Now all you've gotta do is try. And you want to, yeah, we all want to.

    You know you've gotta have a go before is too late. So come on this chance you can not blow, Make you're on fate now. Got to make an effort, got to make your move now.

    Cause you're free to be all that you want to, so don't ever let your dreams pass by. There's not a thing in this world that you can't do. Now all you've gotta do is try and you want to. Yeah, we all wanna learn to fly.

    Just wanna say this ;)

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
