Uprising – MUSE
Matthew Bellamy

Paranoia is in bloom, the PR transmissions will resume
They’ll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that we will never see the truth around

Another promise, another seed
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
And we will be victorious

Interchanging mind control
Come let the revolution take its toll
If you could flick a switch and open your third eye
You’d see that we should never be afraid to die

Rise up and take the power back
It’s time the fat cats had a heart attack
You know that their time’s coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
And we will be victorious

Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
And we will be victorious

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

You Only get what you give – New Radicals
Rick Nowells/Gregg Alexander

One, two!
One, two, three, ow!

Wake up, kids, we got the dreamers’ disease
Age fourteen, they got you down on your knees
So polite, we’re busy still saying please
Frienemies, who, when you’re down, ain’t your friend
Every night we smash a Mercedes-Benz
First we run, and then we laugh till we cry

But when the night is falling
You cannot find the light (Light)
You feel your dreams are dying, hold tight.

You’ve got the music in you
Don’t let go, you’ve got the music in you
One dance left, this world is gonna pull through
Don’t give up, you’ve got a reason to live
Can’t forget, we only get what we give.

I’m comin’ home, baby
You’re tops
Give it to me now!

Four A.M,  we ran a miracle mile
We’re flat broke, but hey, we do it in style
The bad rich, God’s flying in for your trial.

But when the night is falling
You cannot find a friend (Friend)
You feel your tree is breaking, just bend.

You’ve got the music in you
Don’t let go, you’ve got the music in you
One dance left, this world is gonna pull through
Don’t give up, you’ve got a reason to live
Can’t forget, we only get what we give.

This whole damn world could fall apart
You’ll be okay, follow your heart
You’re in harm’s way, I’m right behind
Now set your mark

You’ve got the music in you
Don’t let go, you’ve got the music in you
One dance left, this world is gonna pull through
Don’t give up, you’ve got a reason to live
Can’t forget, we only get what we give.
Don’t let go, I feel the music in you
You, you, you

Health insurance, rip-off flying
FDA, big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they’re multiplying
Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson,
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson.
You’re all fakes, run to your mansions
Come around, we’ll kick your ass in.

Don’t let go, one dance left
Don’t give up, can’t forget
Don’t let go

One day like this – Elbow
Guy Garvey

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off the heavy one, yeah
Heavy like a loaded gun
What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say
I can only think it must be love
Oh, anyway, it’s looking like a beautiful day

Someone tell me how I feel
It’s silly wrong but vivid right?
Oh, kiss me like the final meal
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight

Cause holy cow I love your eyes
And only now I see the light
Yeah, lying with you half awake
Oh, anyway, it’s looking like a beautiful day

When my face is chamois-creased
If you think I wink, I did
Laugh politely at repeats
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin

Cause holy cow I love your eyes
And only now I see the light
Yeah, lying with me half awake
Stumbling over what to say
Oh, anyway, it’s looking like a beautiful day

So throw those curtains wide!
One day like this would see me right
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this would see me right
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this would see me right
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this would see me right
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this would see me right
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this would see me right
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this would see me right
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this would see me right
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this would see me right
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this would see me right

That original lifeline
Original lifeline
That original lifeline

Hey, look up
Don’t make a shadow of yourself
Always shutting out the light
Caught in your own creation
Look up, look up
It tore you open
And oh, how much

‘Cause there’s a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don’t know why

That original lifeline
Original lifeline
That original lifeline

Hey, look up
You don’t have to be a ghost
Here amongst the living
You are flesh and blood
And you deserve to be loved
And you deserve what you are given
And oh, how much?

‘Cause there’s a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don’t know why

That original lifeline

‘Cause your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you
But your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you

I’m the same, I’m the same
I’m trying to change
I am the same, I’m the same
I’m trying to change
I am the same, I’m the same

Fight Song – Rachel Platten

Like a small boat, on the ocean.
Sending big waves, into motion.
Like how a single word,
can make a heart open.
I might only have one match,
but I can make an explosion.

All those things I didn’t say
wrecking balls inside my brain.
I will scream them loud tonight,
can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song.
Take back my life song.
Prove I’m alright song.
My power’s turned on,
starting right now I’ll be strong.
I’ll play my fight song.
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes…
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me.

Losing friends and I’m chasing sleep.
Everybody’s worried about me.
In too deep.
Say I’m in too deep.
It’s been two years, I miss my home.
There’s a fire burning in my bones.
I still believe, yeah I still believe.

All those things I didn’t say
wrecking balls inside my brain.
I will scream them loud tonight,
can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song.
Take back my life song.
Prove I’m alright song.
My power’s turned on,
starting right now I’ll be strong.
I’ll play my fight song.
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes…
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me.
A lot of fight left in me.

Like a small boat, on the ocean.
Sending big waves, into motion.
Like how a single word,
can make a heart open.
I might only have one match,
but I can make an explosion.

This is my fight song.
Take back my life song.
Prove I’m alright song.
My power’s turned on,
starting right now I’ll be strong.
I’ll play my fight song.
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes…
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me.
Now, I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me.

Search for the hero – M People
Mike Pickering/Paul Heard

Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes
A train arrives but never leaves
It’s a shame.
Oh life
Like love that walks out of the door
Of being rich or being poor
Such a shame.

But it’s then, then that faith arrives
To make you feel at least alive
And that’s why you should keep on aiming high
Just seek yourself and you will shine.

You’ve got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life.

In this life, long and hard though it may seem
Live it as you’d live a dream
Aim so high.
Just keep the flame of truth burning bright
The missing treasure you must find.

Because you and only you alone
Can build a bridge across the stream.
Weave your spell in life’s rich tapestry
Your passport to a feel supreme

You’ve got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life

You’ve got to search (search inside yourself)
Deep, deep down inside yourself, yeah
You’ve got to search (search inside yourself)

You’ve got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life.

(Search for the hero inside yourself) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Search for the secrets you hide) Ooh, the secrets you hide
(Search for the hero inside yourself) You’ll find a hero
(Until you find the key to your life)

You’ve got to search (search inside yourself)
You’ve got to search (search, search, search)

(Something inside) So strong

Labi Siffre

The higher you build your barriers,
The taller I become;
The farther you take my rights away,
The faster I will run.
You can deny me;
You can decide to turn your face away.
No matter, cos there’s…

Something inside so strong.
I know that I can make it
Tho’ you’re doing me wrong, so wrong.
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong.

The more you refuse to hear my voice,
The louder I will sing;
You hide behind walls of Jericho,
Your lies will come tumbling.
Deny my place in time;
You squander wealth that’s mine.
My light will shine so brightly it will blind you
Cos there’s…

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho’ you’re doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters,
When they insist we’re just not good enough.
When we know better,
Just look ’em in the eyes and say
We’re gonna do it anyway

Something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho’ you’re doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we’re just not enough
When we know better
Just look ’em in the eyes and say
I’m gonna do it anyway

Because there’s something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho’ you’re doing me, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no…
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Something inside so strong.
I know that I can make it,
Tho’ you’re doing me wrong so wrong.
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no…
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Something inside so strong
Something inside so strong

Hold on tight – Electric Light Orchestra
Jeff Lynne

Hmm, hold on tight to your dream
Hey, hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold on tight to your dream, hmm

It’s a long time to be gone (Hold on, hold on)
Oh, time just rolls on and on (Hold on, hold on)
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying, just-a
Hold on tight to your dream

When you get so down that you can’t get up
And you want so much, but you’re all out of luck
When you’re so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you could, oh

Accroche-toi a ton reve
Accroche-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sens ton coeur se briser
Accroche-toi a ton reve

When you get so down that you can’t get up
And you want so much, but you’re all out of luck
When you’re so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you could, yeah, yeah

Hold on tight to your dream, hey
Hold on tight to your dream, yeah
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream

Ooh, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
Yeah, yeah
Hold on tight
To your dream

And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And, oh, the shame!

Pienso en ti – Shakira
Shakira/Luis Fernando Ochoa

[Letra de “Pienso en Ti”]

Cada día pienso en ti
Pienso un poco más en ti
Despedazo mi razón
Se destruye algo de mí

Cada día pienso en ti
Pienso un poco más en ti

Cada día pienso en ti
Pienso un poco más en ti
Cada vez que sale el sol
Busco en algo el valor
Para continuar así

Y te veo así no te toque
Rezo por ti cada noche
Amanece y pienso en ti

Y retumba en mis oídos
El tic-tac de los relojes
Y sigo pensando en ti
Y sigo pensando

 

The Climb – Miley Cyrus
John Shanks/Jessi Alexander

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming, but
There’s a voice inside my head saying
“You’ll never reach it”
Every step I’m taking
Every move I make feels lost with no direction
My faith is shaken

But I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, ’cause…

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
Yeah

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you’re gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
Yeah

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It’s all about, it’s all about the climb
Keep your faith, keep your faith
Whoa-ooh-oh

Don’t Stop – Fleetwood Mac
Christine McVie

If you wake up and don’t wanna smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You’ll see things in a different way

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone

Why not think about times to come
And not about the things that you’ve done?
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yеsterday’s gone

All I want is to see you smile
If it takеs just a little while
I know you don’t believe that it’s true
I never meant any harm to you

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone
Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone

Ooh, don’t you look back
Ooh, don’t you look back
Ooh, don’t you look back
Ooh, no, don’t you look back

Stand by you – Rachel Platten

Even if we can’t find Heaven, Heaven, Heaven

Hands, put your empty hands in mine
And scars, show me all the sacrs you hide
And hey, if your wings are broken
Please take mine ’til yours can open too
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you

And hurt, I know you’re hurting, but so am I
And love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine so yours can open too

‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you

We can find a way to break through

Roar – Katy Perry

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up (Hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready, ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
‘Cause I’m a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I’m a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You’re gonna hear me roar

Now I’m floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up (Hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (Got up)
Get ready, ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
‘Cause I’m a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I’m a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(You’ll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You’re gonna hear me roar.

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

man standing in front of group of lamb

Psalm 23. The Lord is my shepherd
The lord is my shepherd: I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table for me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou annointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Brand new me – Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys/ Emeli Sande
It’s been awhile, I’m not who I was before
You look surprised, your words don’t burn me anymore
Been meaning to tell you, but I guess it’s clear to see
Don’t be mad, it’s just a brand new kind of me
Can’t be bad, I found a brand new kind of free

Careful with your ego, he’s the one that we should blame
Had to grab my heart back, God knew something had to change
I thought that you’d be happy
I found the one thing I need
Why you mad? It’s just the brand new kind of me

It took a long, long time to get here
It took a brave, brave girl to try
It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
Don’t be surprised, don’t be surprised

If I talk a little louder, if I speak up when you’re wrong
If I walk a little taller, I been under you too long
If you notice that I’m different, don’t take it personally
Don’t be mad, it’s just a brand new kind of me
And it ain’t bad, I found a brand new kind of free

It took a long, long road to get here
It took a brave, brave girl to try
I’ve taken one too many excuses, one too many lies
Don’t be surprised, see you look surprised

If you were a friend, you wanna get to know me again
If your were worth a while, you’d be happy to see me smile
I’m not expecting sorry, I’m too busy finding myself
I’ve got this, I’ve found me, I’ve found me

I don’t need your opinion, I’m not waiting for your okay
I’ll never be perfect, but at least now I’m brave
Now my heart is open, and I can finally breathe
Don’t be mad, it’s just a brand new kind of free
That ain’t bad, I found a brand new kind of me
Don’t be mad, it’s just a brand new time for me
