The Fear

This tradition is getting old
You use fear to gain new holds
There’s a limit to what you can control
The line’s been crossed and we thought we told you
Yououououou, you don’t have a say in that
Yououououou, you don’t have a say in that
Yououououou, you don’t have a say in that
Yououououou, you don’t have a say in that
You act a fool for election votes
Playing to the tune of a few lost souls
Hiding your words behind party lines
We see through your cheap disguise
Yououououou, you don’t have a say in that
Yououououou, you don’t have a say in that
Yououououou, you don’t have a say in that
Yououououou, you don’t have a say in that
You decide how we show our faith
When all your towns begin with saint
Your hypocrisy is crystal clear
Riding the wave of your white tears
Our grandparents told you
It’s been so many years
From the bus stop to the classroom
There’s no basis for your fears
Now we have told you
Again and again
Your xenophobia
It has got to end
Weeeeeee are stronger than your fear
Weeeeeee are stronger than your fear
Weeeeeee are stronger than your fear
Weeeeeee are stronger than your fear

Hold You Back

I see you laying on your deathbed
Waiting for something to be said
Heart is stopped and you cannot breathe
Gone are the days you couldn’t seize
I see you wailing on the ocean floor
Gasping for air til you make it to shore
Heavy limbed and your body’s tense
Silently screaming in your distress
Well I know you may not see it now
For it’s a foggy place to be
But the road to learning is paved with mistakes
And I can’t hold you back, no I can’t hold you back
You think they’re pointing and judging you
Too far in your pain to see what’s true
Look at me i swear everyone loves you
tell it to your soul until you do too
Well I know you may not see it now
For it’s a foggy place to be
But the road to learning is paved with mistakes
And I can’t hold you back, no I can’t hold you back
from the pain that surrounds you
I can’t hold you back
From feeling everything
I can’t hold you back
From the doubts that were better left unsaid
but that now you can’t get out of your head
Well I know you may not
See it now
For it’s a foggy place to be
But the road to learning is paved with mistakes
And I can’t hold you back
No I can’t hold you back

What Would Dolly Do
03:00
|
|||
|
When I woke up today I saw myself in a
peach mirror
I’d never seen myself so clear
I knew the work I do is worthy and that I am
far from done
But it gets easier with time
But what would Dolly do
If she were here, standing in my boots
I cannot wait on someone like you
The time is now for myself I gotta choose
I felt that endless flowing river of the love I know surrounds
But this time it came from me
Now that I have started to listen to myself
I find it harder to ignore
But what would Dolly do
If she were here, standing in my boots
I cannot wait on someone like you
The time is now for myself I gotta choose
The hardest decisions are the ones I know might hurt you
Even though they’re right for me
Looking in your eyes to see that hurtin’ feeling
That’s not who I want to be
But what would Dolly do
If she were here, standing in your boots
You cannot wait on somebody new
The time is now and yourself you must choose

Une p’tite madame tantôt m’a dit
(Une p’tite madame tantôt m’a dit)
Que y’a des règles de vie à suivre
(Que y’a des règles de vie à suivre)
Que j’devrais sourire plus souvent
(Que j’devrais sourire plus souvent)
Comme ça j’trouverai mon prince charmant
(Comme ça j’trouverai mon prince charmant)
Toujours trop ou pas assez
Pas d’manière de gagner
Coupe tes cheveux ou garde les longs
Y’a tellement d’opinions
Pas besoin d’partager
Mais j’comprends d’où tu viens
Fais moi confiance pis ça ira bon train
Un p’tit monsieur tantôt m’a dit
(Un p’tit monsieur tantôt m’a dit)
Que j’suis toujours trop fâchée
(Que j’suis toujours trop fâchée)
Que mon sourcil est trop froncé
(Que mon sourcil est trop froncé)
Et ma moustache est trop foncée
(Et ma moustache est trop foncée)
Toujours trop ou pas assez
Pas d’manière de gagner
Coupe tes cheveux ou garde les longs
Y’a tellement d’opinions
Pas besoin d’partager
Mais j’comprends d’où tu viens
Fais moi confiance pis ça ira bon train
Le bon dieu tantôt m’a dit
(Le bon dieu tantôt m’a dit)
Que j’irai pas au paradis
(Que j’irai pas au paradis)
Que mes p’tites jupes elles sont trop courtes
(Que mes p’tites jupes elles sont trop courtes)
Que c’est pour ça qu’on m’gosse chaque jour
(Que c’est pour ça qu’on m’gosse chaque jour)
Toujours trop ou pas assez
Pas d’manière de gagner
Coupe tes cheveux ou garde les longs
Y’a tellement d’opinions
Pas besoin d’partager
Mais j’comprends d’où tu viens
Fais moi confiance pis ça ira bon train

Turnin' The Page
04:14
|
|||

I’m still haunted by my past (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I still think of feelings that lasted (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Turnin’ the page on you’s proven hard
Only ramblin’ thru this world can pull you apart
I still remember times we shared (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I still dream that things are as they were (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Turnin’ the page on you’s proven hard
Only ramblin’ thru this world can pull you
apart
Dates are engraved from our lives once
shared (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
You still ask after me and mine (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Turnin’ the page on me’s proven hard
Only ramblin’ thru this world can tear us
apart
Seasons change, we still long for each other
(oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Wond’rin’ how we became others (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Turnin’ the page on you’s (on me’s) proven hard
Only ramblin’ thru this world can tear us
apart
Turnin’ the page on you’s (on me’s) proven hard
Only ramblin’ thru this world------------------
Can tear us apart
