SHINE<br />
Shine- don’t hide your light<br />
The lights are dimmed; the stage is set. Tonight,<br />
let's play to forget. So flick on that light switch and<br />
make the ceiling look like it's filled with stars. For a<br />
fragile moment, heaven can be ours. We're on fire,<br />
we're alive- undefined. Lost in the music, everything<br />
is all right. C'mon and Shine. Hebu Angaza.<br />
Ujifiche mwangaza wako, don't hide your light.<br />
C'mon and Shine, hebu angaza, just shine. Music<br />
will bring us together my friend. I have seen the<br />
kind of beauty it is a sin to have. Me, I believe in<br />
miracles and that others like you might understand<br />
a dialogue with angels, a passion made for fools. In<br />
these forgotten hours, we live by our own rules.<br />
We're on fire, we're alive- undefined. Lost in the music,<br />
everything is all right.<br />
C'mon and Shine. Hebu Angaza. Ujifiche mwangaza<br />
wako, don't hide your light. C'mon and Shine,<br />
hebu angaza, just shine. Music will bring us together<br />
my friend. Some applause might linger as<br />
those house lights go back on. These room, it's<br />
nothing special, but everyone's a star. C'mon and<br />
Shine. Hebu Angaza. Ujifiche mwangaza wake,<br />
don't hide your light. C'mon and Shine, hebu angaza,<br />
just shine. Music will bring us together my<br />
friend.<br />

TO KNOW LOVE<br />
Love- like a thunderstorm passing, and you don’t have your raincoat on<br />
It comes when you least expect it- in a different<br />
shape. Even if you don't know what you're gonna<br />
do with it, there's no escape. Your heart starts<br />
pounding, your blood starts boiling- your emotions<br />
are all riled up. You find yourself day dreaming<br />
when you don't want to. Well now- that's just lovelike<br />
a thunderstorm passing, and you don't have<br />
your raincoat on. Love- like an avalanche crashing,<br />
and you don't know where it came from. Love- like<br />
an earthquake shaking, makes you realize you've<br />
been waiting your whole life- to know love. At night,<br />
when you find yourself sleepless- can't forget his<br />
voice or his touch. You try so hard to turn it all off,<br />
but you can't, 'cause he's woken you up.<br />
Your heart starts pounding, your blood starts boiling-<br />
your emotions are all riled up. You find yourself<br />
day dreaming when you don't want to. Well nowthat's<br />
just love- like a thunderstorm passing, and<br />
you don't have your raincoat on. Love- like an avalanche<br />
crashing, and you don't know where it came<br />
from. Love- like an earthquake shaking, makes you<br />
realize you've been waiting your whole life- to know<br />
love.<br />

ENGINE<br />
The future’s looking so much clearer when you’re looking back through that rear-view mirror<br />
There's a grey mist settling on the trees, There's a<br />
new wind in town kicking up debris Some things<br />
have fallen through the cracks Like a photograph<br />
of a young girl by her car All wrapped up in smiles,<br />
off to be a big star. You can tell nothing's going to<br />
hold her back An unchartered road Full tank of gas<br />
Dreams you can hold; Love that can last. The future's<br />
looking so much clearer when you're looking<br />
back through that rear-view mirror. Trailing some<br />
dusty memories and grime, Heading way past that<br />
50-yard line That engine you hear running, that's<br />
mine. Well this suitcase of dreams has so many<br />
stains from Boston, to New York, New York to Nashville<br />
to LA. Maybe it's time we took a final ride. I'll<br />
rev up my engine, drive to lake, Throw that suitcase<br />
in, watch the past float away..and then I'll just keep<br />
on driving. An unchartered road, Full tank of gas,<br />
Dreams you can hold; Love that can last.The future's<br />
looking so much clearer when you're looking<br />
back through that rear-view mirror. Trailing some<br />
dusty memories and grime,Heading way past that<br />
50-yard line-That engine you hear running,that's<br />
mine.Don't know what I'm doing, I've been here so<br />
long Going through the motions, when I should<br />
have stayed on- An unchartered road, Full tank of<br />
gas, Dreams you can hold; Love that can last. The<br />
future's looking so much clearer when you're looking<br />
back through that rear-view mirror. Trailing<br />
some dusty memories and grime, Heading way<br />
past that 50-yard line-That engine you hear running,<br />
that's mine.<br />

DREAM (NDOTO)<br />
Don’t judge me because I am a dreamer<br />
Mimi ni mwotaji na furahia kua mimi. I know what it<br />
takes to be strong. Fedha zinaweza kufanywa na kupoteza.<br />
Lakini me dreams keep me going on. I<br />
know, I know, I know what it's like To fight, to fight,<br />
to fight for something. I know, I know, I know what<br />
it's like To love, to love, to love for nothing. Ndoto<br />
yangu sii kulipa bili lakini wao kujaza oho Na rusha<br />
mi kono, na rusha mi kono. Alama ndoto. Usijaribu<br />
kunibadilisha mimi kuna mahali kwa kila mtu. Dunia<br />
ilijengwa na visionaries. Na vilevile eh eh wana biashara.<br />
I know, I know, I know what it's like To fight,<br />
to fight, to fight for something. I know, I know, I<br />
know what it's like To love, to love, to love for nothing.<br />
Ndoto yangu sii kulipa bili lakini wao kujaza<br />
roho. Na rusha mi kono, na rusha mi kono- Alama<br />
ndoto. Don’t judge me because I am a dreamer;<br />
This world has a place for everyone.It was built by<br />
businessmen and visionaries, Our gifts are different<br />
but they all belong. I know, I know, I know what it's<br />
like To fight, to fight, to fight for something. I know, I<br />
know, I know what it's like. To love, to love, to love<br />
for nothing. Ndoto yangu sii kulipa bili lakini wao kujaza<br />
roho. Na rusha mi kono, na rusha mi kono-<br />
Alama ndoto. Mimi ni mwotaji na furahia kua mimi. I<br />
know what it takes to be strong.Fedha zinaweza kufanywa<br />
na kupoteza Lakini me dreams keep me going<br />
on.<br />

DYING TO BE FREE (REGGAE REWRITE)<br />
Nothing born to us was meant for captivity<br />
Once she lay beneath the shade of the Acacia.Tender cubs curled by her side-You know it takes a little<br />
patience.She'll keep them safe from stirring She'll keep them dry when raindrops fall.She can fight off anythingexcept<br />
the biggest killer of them all.I hear the crying, As others are Dying to Be Free.Nothing born to us was<br />
meant for captivity.As you’re killing them, you’re also killing me.This is our inheritance-not your commodity Dying.<br />
Dying to Be Free.Morning brings the massacre,The killer and his men. With their panting eyes and their<br />
sweaty scent,They trap her against a fence.She reaches for her trembling children, Confusion darting through<br />
her eyes. Then the bullets start to rip her, And she’s flapping like a rag doll- Until she falls-for the last time. I<br />
hear the crying as others are Dying toBe Free. Nothing born to us was meant for captivity. As you're killing<br />
them, you're also killing me.This is our inheritance-not your commodity. As her cubs cry hungry, Scared and<br />
easy prey. As the trackers skin her, her blood and mothers milk leave a stain- nothing can wash away. I hear<br />
the crying as others are Dying to Be Free. Nothing born to us was meant for captivity.As you're killing them,<br />
you're also killing me.This is our inheritance-not your commodity Dying. Dying to Be Free.<br />

against time. Trying to do too much; feel like some<br />
forgotten line on a scrap of paper. I got a major<br />
may day waiting for my hey day where I can show<br />
a nice and slow easy flow’s the way to go. Napenda<br />
kuwecka, nazi yangu huru, I’m keeping my<br />
spirit free; I’m keeping it all true. There’s gotta be a<br />
hey day coming my way soon. Been looking for a<br />
little love but usijali, don’t you worry, not too soon<br />
too much, ‘cause I need a vacation. And it always<br />
goes wrong, I end up writing some stupid song<br />
about la-la-la-love and where it’s all gone....Hey, I<br />
need a vacation.<br />
I got a major may day waiting for my hey day<br />
where I can show a nice and slow easy flow’s the<br />

HOLLYWOOD ENDING<br />
You got me feeling like a billboard sign of love up on Hollywood<br />
This world was made for us two; I see only you. The<br />
little things that you do Always get me. I’m sure I<br />
can say: I’ll still feel this way years from now. You’re<br />
faster when I’m slow. Higher when I’m low. When I<br />
fall, I fall so soft into your arms. You’re dark when I<br />
am light. When we fly, we fly so high. Could this be<br />
a Hollywood Ending You got me feeling like a<br />
movie star, like billboard sign up on Hollywood<br />
Blvd, you got me feeling like a star. So many<br />
changes going on. SometimesI’m not that strong,<br />
but at the end of the day,You ground me.Come rain<br />
or come shine,Your touch heals my mind. No doubt<br />
about it. You’re faster when I’m slow. Higher when<br />
I’m low. When I fall, I fall so soft into your arms.<br />
You’re dark when I am light. When we fly, we fly so<br />
high. Could this be a Hollywood Ending You got<br />
me feeling like a movie star, like billboard sign up<br />
on Hollywood Blvd, you got me feeling like a star. I<br />
wasn’t looking for you. You weren’t looking for me,<br />
but here we are…. Here we are. You’re faster when<br />
I’m slow. Higher when I’m low. When I fall, I fall so<br />
soft into your arms. You’re dark when I am light.<br />
When we fly, we fly so high. Could this be a Hollywood<br />
Ending You got me feeling like a movie star,<br />
like billboard sign up on Hollywood Blvd, you got<br />
me feeling like a star.<br />

THREE WISHES<br />
If I had three wishes, I’d spend them all on you<br />
You come and go like a lost<br />
shadow, Trailing broken hearts<br />
behind.I saw stars above; thought<br />
they were a sign of love,But they<br />
were just passing through the<br />
night. If I had three wishes, I know<br />
what I would do. If I had three<br />
wishes, I’d spend them all on you.<br />
I could sail a thousand oceans,<br />
And never long for shore. But with<br />
you, I want to be wind still- Find a<br />
place to moor.<br />
If I had three wishes, I know what I<br />
would do. If I had three wishes, I’d<br />
spend them all on you. But I don’t<br />
have three wishes, so what am I<br />
do do I don’t have three wishes,<br />
and so- I don’t have you.<br />
