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
