Lyrics:
Honey, You’ll Survive
All these teenagers
walkin' down the street together
“man, it looks so fun” says one friend to another
but they don’t have a clue what’s really going on
‘cause when you’re so concerned, how can you have fun?
‘Cause half the girls are worried what the other half thinks
and half the boys are showin' off their brand new bling
and it’s all superficial when you stand back and watch
you’ll find out you ain’t missing out on much
“But it’s so dang fun!”
But honey you’ll survive without it
believe it
it’s a major drag when you see it from the outside
honey you’ll survive without it
you’ll see it
when you’re outta the scene
you’ll feel a whole lot more pride
come on!
“I can’t talk to girls” says a bunch of them
“I simply get along much better with boys”
but if your honest with yourself then a lot of the time
it’s just another ploy
Honey you’ll survive without it
believe it
it’s a major drag when you see it from the outside
honey you’ll survive without it
you’ll see it
when you’re outta the scene
you’ll feel a whole lot more pride
You don’t need no validation
from the guys who for the most part only want one thing
and you’re way better than their opinions
and their judgements and the lies and the compliments
oh…
Not everything is the way it seems
sometimes it’s hard to see through the internal schemes
and the fronts that people put up
when you look closely, you’ll see it’s all made up
all the drama and rumors around
like who in their right mind would ever want that?
uh but there’s fear of missing out
there’s peer pressure and doubt
and you want to feel included
you wanna be with that crowd
but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be
you’ll see if you ever get out
‘cause once you start everything can go south from there
like a drug that you can’t get enough of
when push comes to shove, no, it’s never enough
so why not quit while you’re ahead
don’t join in the first place
‘cause once you’re in it
you’ll find out it ain’t worth it
so stand up to the crowd
and look alive
hold your head high
‘cause honey you’ll survive
Honey you’ll survive without it [x4]
Honey you’ll survive without it
believe it
it’s a major drag when you see it from the outside
(see it from the outside)
honey you’ll survive without it
you’ll see it (oh)
when you’re outta the scene
you’ll feel a whole lot more pride
Homeland
Little Sarah’s birthday was the fourth day of July
Her cowgirl hat always on and her boots, they always shined
But somethin’ nagged at her day and night
She couldn’t figure what it was
Her horse, her farm, and the Tennessee charm never really felt enough
So she got off her horse and boarded a plane
Leavin’ behind the ol’ USA
To a homeland that she never had called home
Walkin’ through the streets
Taking in her history
A southern girl, in a brand new world, found a new home to love
And now it’s a meaningful beautiful life
Full of purpose and of pride
‘Cause you know what you’re standing for
And you know it’s the good fight
Who am I to say it’s easy?
I haven’t moved there yet
But there’s something special in the atmosphere
And it’s somethin’ you can’t forget
Benny was a baseball star, been playing since he was three
Pledged every day to the stars and stripes, American and free
But something just did not feel right when he found he was a Jew
He put down the bat and just like that he went to find out the truth
And now it’s a meaningful beautiful life
Full of purpose and of pride
‘Cause you know what you’re standing for
And you know it’s the good fight
Who am I to say it’s easy?
I haven’t moved there yet
But there’s something special in the atmosphere
And it’s somethin’ you can’t forget
So the Sarahs and Bennys all made their way
And I’m still here, in ol’ USA
Wishing I had the strength to give it up
I won’t lie and say it’s simple
Leavin’ this so-called home
But I know one day
I’ll get on that plane
And call this land my own
And now it’s a meaningful beautiful life
Full of purpose and of pride
‘Cause you know what you’re standing for
And you know it’s the good fight
Who am I to say it’s easy?
I haven’t moved there yet
But there’s something special in the atmosphere
And it’s somethin’ you can’t forget
Yes, now it’s a meaningful beautiful life
Full of purpose and of pride
‘Cause you know what you’re standing for
And you know it’s the good fight
Who am I to say it’s easy?
I haven’t moved there yet
But there’s something special in the atmosphere
And it’s somethin’ you can’t forget
Yes, there’s something special in the atmosphere
And it’s somethin’ you can’t forget
Ohh
Head Back
Pickin’ up the pieces to your broken heart
Wonder why you got into this at all
Can’t seem to remember how it started
And you know it shouldn’t go farther
But you can’t help yourself, can you?
2x:
I can’t make you go where you don’t want to go
And I can’t make you do what you don’t wanna do
But I can tell you you’re heading on the wrong track
Better head back, oh you better head back
Tryna hide your eyes ‘cause you don’t listen anymore
Though you know it’s wrong, you’ve built yourself a door
Across your heart
It’s barred and locked
Yet you open it for those who don’t care
Can’t you see that that’s how they use you?
2x:
I can’t make you go where you don’t want to go
And I can’t make you do what you don’t wanna do
But I can tell you you’re heading on the wrong track
Better head back, oh you better head back
I can’t make you change your mind
You’re blinded by the things you’ve wanted
Scared you’ll shut me out
If I seem to doubt your motives
How do I tell you
Come back
Don’t know why you needed it anyway
And nobody knows
You’re lyin’
To yourself if you’re thinkin’
That nothin’s gonna happen
‘Cause it’s totally innocent
Oh, is that what you call it
When your judgement is withering
But I can’t tell you straight out, no
‘Cause that would be bad
I’m sad and you’re scared that I’ll be mad at you
I’m just tryna say
Please don’t do anything you’ll regret
And I’ll always be your friend
Still
I can’t make you change your mind
No, I can’t make you change your ways
I’m just tryna say
Don’t go down that road
‘Cause it ain’t a pretty thing
2x:
I can’t make you go where you don’t want to go
And I can’t make you do what you don’t wanna do
But I can tell you you’re heading on the wrong track
Better head back, oh you better head back
I can’t make you go where you don’t want to go
And I can’t make you see what you don’t wanna see
But I can tell you you’re heading on the wrong track
Better head back, oh you better head back

Lyrics by SM Saxon
The thoughts they come in
Power we have within
To change them
To redirection
Put a finger on it
Don't get scared,
use courage
But we are not
Submissive to it
Handed to me,
Responsibility
On what I choose to focus on
Yet only
Identifying
What is there
Can I activate
With mental steer
Melech malchei hamlachim
Is staring at me
He trusted the key
Within me
Even when hard it does get
To go on, just forget
He believes I can
responsibly
Testing me initially
The thoughts constantly
The subconscious
I can't control (I can't control)
But,
Hashem does expect then
To give it direction
To change the channel in my head
Fear I then feel,
Oh how can I heal
The imagined danger
I see
Take the thoughts, that come up
Look time down the line
In a year
Will it matter to me?
Wouldn't it be easier
To just fly above it
And never have these on my head
Yes sometimes I can
But when they still happen
I want to know how to
Respond and say
Melech malchei hamelchaim
Thank You for everything
There's so much You've given to me
(Given to me)
Brothers, and sisters, so dear
And parents who care
And friendships
With people I share
My ultimate Father, my King
So much chesed You bring
When I think about it consciously
(Consciously)
I can relax, logically
It will all be okay
I can lower
The intensity
Hashem You're really
My Best Friend
You're in me
You're in them
You're gonna make sure
It's okay (Sure it's okay)
As long as I just do my best
I can really go rest
And let You, Hashem
Run the scene
Melech malchei hamlachim
Thank You for everything!!!!!
So many good things
To realize
As I open my eyes
Hashem is 'pokeiach ivrim'
Dear Computer
Whoaa, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I’m getting up
Out of this place
No I’m not doing this
You think you can
Entrap me again
Well I’m not gonna let you
Pull me down
Oh pull me down
No
This chair has been
Sat in for too long
It’s time I stretched my legs
I’m coming clean
You know you’re addicting
I’m gonna get cured
From this disease
This virtual reality
And you can’t stop me now, I’m shutting you down
Though you seduce me with your lights and sounds
But you’re not worth it
And I can’t waste more time
Dear computer
So many sites
So many ads
So much stimulation
I really don’t need this in my life
I’d rather spend time with actual people
Who don’t need to be plugged in every 4 hours!
And you can’t stop me now, I’m shutting you down
Though you seduce me with your lights and sounds
But you’re not worth it
And I can’t waste more time
Dear computer
Whoa… (I can’t waste more, I can’t waste more)
Whoa… (I can’t waste more, I can’t waste more)
I can’t waste more time, can’t waste more time (I can’t waste more, I can’t waste more)
Can’t waste more time, can’t waste more time (I can’t waste more, I can’t waste more)
My eyes are bloodshot
Can’t stop lookin' at the screen
I’m at your mercy
Why do you do this to me
It’s almost like you love seeing me like this
Hopelessly devoted
And wasting my time on you
Oh on you
You love it, don’t you
Hopelessly devoted
And wasting my time!
And you can’t stop me now, i’m shutting you down
Though you seduce me with your lights and sounds
But you’re not worth it
And I can’t waste more time (I can’t waste more time)
Dear computer
Dear computer
Dear computer
Dear computer
Dear computer!
Time to say goodbye
I’m leaving you
I guess I’ll see you around (see you around)
But you follow me
And don’t let me sleep
You’re everywhere I go
In every spot all around town
But you can’t stop me now, I’m shutting you down
Though you seduce me with your lights and sounds
But you’re not worth it
And I can’t waste more time (I can’t waste more time)
No!
You’re not worth it
I’ve got to live my life (got to live my life!)
Dear computer
Answer The Call
There are times
When you know what you shouldn’t do
But you just can’t help it
But for real
You have more power over your heart
Then you ever realized
And you can change it around
No matter how deep you are
Don’t step all over yourself
There’s enough of that
Don’t get lost in that hole
You have the power to stop it
Don’t jump in, don’t let go
You have the power to say no
In those times when you’ve just had enough
Don’t let up the fight
In those times when you think all is lost
Don’t give up the fight
You’re worth more than you tell yourself
You’re stronger than you let yourself be
Let them tears out
But when you’re done
Get up and answer the call
The time has come
To wage war on the self-destruction
That wants to swallow you
(You can fight)
With the might of an army
Take back the free choice that is yours
Your strength is beyond the limits
You think you have inside
Answer the call to the warrior
That chooses what’s right
Don’t get lost in that hole
You have the power to stop it
Don’t jump in, don’t let go
You have the power to say no
In those times when you’ve just had enough
Don’t let up the fight
In those times when you think all is lost
Don’t give up the fight
You’re worth more than you tell yourself
You’re stronger than you let yourself be
Let them tears out
But when you’re done
Get up and answer the call
Answer the call to the fighter in you
That self-control is not beyond you
You’ll prove to yourself
Whatever it is
Keep your head up and don’t let up
You’re not a doormat for it
And you’ll probably slip up sometimes
That’s okay
Don’t beat yourself up, that’s wasting time
Try again the next day
I know it’s easier said than done
But you gotta start somewhere
Or never know what could’ve been
Answer the call
Answer the call
Answer the call
In those times when you’ve just had enough
Don’t let up the fight
In those times when you think all is lost
Don’t give up the fight
You’re worth more than you tell yourself
You’re stronger than you let yourself be
It's okay to cry
But when you’re done
Get up and answer the call
