Heart of a Champion
The hearts of millions
Are on the line
So many lives
Hang in the balance
For a hero
To come to their rescue
Heart of a champion
Rises to the occasion
Heart of a champion
Is who you are
With the heart and desire
To never give up
When you mess up the first time
Pick yourself back up
Dust off the cobwebs
Then try again
Don’t give up hope
Just believe in yourself
When you believe
You will succeed
When you have the
Heart of a champion
Don’t fail us now
When we believe in you
Heart of a champion
Is who you are
With the strength to carry on
Just keep on movin’
You’re almost there
Don’t let the fear
Get the best of you
Keep on trying
Keep on fighting
Don’t get too discouraged
Just keep the faith
If you lose all hope
Then all is lost
When you have the
Heart of a champion
Don’t fail us now
When we believe in you
Heart of a champion
Is who you are
With the strength to carry on
Motivate your mind
To do what’s best
Concentrate on the things
That lie ahead
When the going gets tough
The tough gets going
So remind yourself
Who you are
Who you are
When you stand up tall
You will never fall
So lift up your spirits
To divide and conquer
Say I will rise
When you have the heart of a champion
Don’t fail us now
When we believe in you
Heart of a champion
Is who you are
With the strength to carry on
Heart of a champion
Is who you are
With the strength to carry on
Angel in Disguise
Can we take a walk
Just for us to talk
There’s a lot of commotion
Full of emotions
Like the waves in the ocean
The way you walk
The way you talk
The way you smile
The things you say
The things you do
Takes my breath away
From the moment I saw you
I knew in my heart
That you are an
Angel in disguise
The beauty of your face
Makes a blind man see
Things he’s never seen
Once in a blue moon
Like flowers blossoming in full bloom
Right before my very eyes
Your essence of beauty, grace, and elegance
Is in the air
Thousands of miles away
Surrendering my heart
Since I’m so lost
Loving you in my thoughts
From the moment I saw you
I knew in my heart
That you are an
Angel In disguise
I’m feelin’ your vibe
Like shooting stars from afar
Beyond our very existence
For all of eternity
The way you carry yourself
Glowing in the sunlight
Your stunning radiance
Shines in broad daylight
For the world to see
What you truly are
A beautiful sight to see
’Cause you are a shining star
With your name tattooed on my arm
Symbolizing what you mean to me
From the moment I saw you
I know in my heart
That you are an
Angel in disguise
You don’t have to wear less
Just to impress me
You’re beautiful just the way you are
From head to toe
You’re lovely on the outside
As well as on the inside
No one else turns me on
Not quite like you do
Since day one
From the moment I saw you
I know in my heart
That you are an
Angel in disguise
For all of eternity
From the moment I saw you
I knew in my heart
That you are an
Angel in disguise
Ain’t It Funny
Ain’t it funny how time flies
Ain’t it funny how time passes you by
Lookin’ back on your life
Wishing you could’ve done this
Wishing you could’ve done that
Regret after regret
Of how you lived it up
Wishing you could turn back time
To do things a little differently
To rewrite the mistakes you made
Hoping someone hears your cries
Like someone close to you dies
Right before your very eyes
Going through your mind
Feelin’ like you’ve gone blind
Now you must decide
Before you reach the point of suicide
