- Beautiful
Letra
You've gotta get up every morning Put a smile on your face And show the world All the love in your heart Then people are gonna treat you better You're gonna find, Yes you will That you're beautiful as you feel Waiting at the station With the work day wind a-blowing I've got nothing to do But watch the passers by Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing And they don't see a-showing Why do I? You've gotta get up every morning Put a smile on your face And show the world All the love in your heart Then people are gonna treat you better You're gonna find, Yes you will That you're beautiful as you feel I have often asked myself The reason for the sadness In the world But tears are just a lullaby If there's any answer May be love kind And the madness may be not Oh, but we can only try You've gotta get up every morning Put a smile on your face And show the world All the love in your heart Then people are gonna treat you better You're gonna find, Oh, yes, you will That you're beautiful... Yes, you're beautiful... Yeah, beautiful as you feel! - Love

Letra
I never meant to hurt you I'm not that way at all Please believe the words of the heart A heart that seems so small And I swear I never meant to hurt you I guess I lost my place Please, believe the wards of the heart A heart that hides its fails Why do I do things I never mean to do? Oh, why did I speak so carelessly When all that i felt Was love for you? And I swear I never I never meant to hurt you I've got to make you know Please, believe the words of the heart A heart that didn't show I never meant to hurt you I only meant to love you It's true And when I saw you crying I cried too - Medley: One Less Bell to Answer/A House Is Not a Home

- I Mean to Shine
Letra
Here comes another dawn For every child to see This time the morning sun Is burning just for me I've got the skyward eyes Like I've never had before Just smile and say goodbye Show me to the door For every one there comes a precious time To break away I mean to shine Oh, I mean to shine As I look at all the morning sun I know I mean to shine This day I realized The world I knew is gone New seasons come and change The crown that stood upon I've been afraid to feel And scared of falling free You said so I'm real It seemed so clear to me For everyone who breathes There comes a time to fly away I mean to shine 0h, I mean to shine As I look at all the morning sun I know I mean to shine For everyone who breathes There comes a time To break away I mean to shine Oh, I mean to shine As I look at all morning sun I know I mean to shine. - You've Got a Friend
