    You say you're down on your luck
    Hey baby It's a long, long way up
    Hold back now, hold back your fears
    You say you're really down and out
    And you feel like there's no way out now
    Let go now let go of your tears some more

    How many times have you asked yourself?
    Is this the hand of fate now that I've been dealt?
    You're so disillusioned this can't be real
    And you can't stand now the way you feel

    I don't care about what they say
    I won't live or die that way
    Tired of figuring out things on my own
    Angel's wings won't you carry me home?

    Chorus:
    And when you're down on your luck
    Hey baby It's a long, long way up
    Hold back now, hold back your fears
    And when you're really down and out
    And you feel like there's no way out now
    Let go now, let go of your tears some more

    Repeat Chorus

    I triumphed in the face of adversity
    And I became the man I never thought I'd be
    And now my biggest challenge, a thing called love
    I guess I'm not as tough as I thought I was

    I don't care about what they say
    I want to marry you some day
    Going to wake up, it's a brand new day
    Angel's wings going to carry you away
    Angel's wings going to carry me away
    Angel's wings going to carry us away

    Repeat Chorus

    Angel's wings going to carry you away
    Angel's wings going to carry me away
    Angel's wings going to carry us away

    "Breathe (2 AM)"

    2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
    "Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
    I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
    Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
    Like they have any right at all to criticize,
    Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason


    'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
    And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
    No one can find the rewind button, girl.
    So cradle your head in your hands
    And breathe... just breathe,
    Oh breathe, just breathe

    May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
    "Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
    "Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
    Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
    But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
    Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.


    Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
    And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
    No one can find the rewind button, boys,
    So cradle your head in your hands,
    And breathe... just breathe,
    Oh breathe, just breathe

    There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
    You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
    And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
    If you only try turning around.

    2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
    If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
    Threatening the life it belongs to
    And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
    Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
    And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

    But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
    And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
    No one can find the rewind button now
    Sing it if you understand.
    And breathe, just breathe
    Woah breathe, just breathe,
    Oh breathe, just breathe,
    Oh breathe, just breathe.

    Every time I hear this, I cry.. reminds me of times I couldn't fix with someone I can't help. Love him though

    Stevie Wonder Black Orchid Lyrics

    A flake of snow within a storm
    A new way waiting to be born
    In a world with need of change
    A touch of love in fear of hate
    A rushing wind that's asked to wait
    For the promises of rain
    A pearl of wisdom entrapped by poverty

    She gives love with purity
    Filling minds with hopeful schemes
    To build worlds enhanced by peace
    Draped in sparkling morning dew
    She expresses life anew
    From the earth beneath her feet
    She is a flower that grows
    In love ability
    She's femininity

    Black orchid, black orchid
    Why did they make you begin
    When they know in time you'll find your truth
    Before your cycle ends
    Black orchid, black orchid
    Why are you crying their fears

    [Black Orchid lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
    When the true reflection of you that they see
    Is love besieged by years

    She has touched the farthest star
    Her beauty speaks of what we are
    And her freedom makes us free
    Her now is in eternity
    Infinite to all that see
    And her dreams have been achieved
    Now there is a sound of laughter
    Nature signs out her name
    For the world to know her fame

    Black orchid, black orchid
    Why did they criticize
    When they knew your love could cast it's spell and
    Consecrate their eyes
    Black orchid, black orchid
    Why do you linger in space
    When you know in every heart that beats
    You hold a special place
    When you know in every heart that beats
    You hold a special place



    I love this song, and mostly everything by stevie. But when I heard this song for the first time I cried.It's all about strength, resiliency, and beauty.

    Do not get me wrong I cannot wait for you to come home
    For now you're not here and I'm not there, it's like we're on our own
    To figure it out, consider how to find a place to stand
    Instead of walking away and instead of nowhere to land

    This is going to to break me clean in two
    This is going to to bring me close to you

    She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
    She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
    (2x)

    It's all up in the air and we stand still to see what comes down
    I don't know where it is, I don't know when, but I want you around
    When it falls into place with you and I, we go from if to when
    Your side and mine are both behind it's indication

    This is going to bring me clarity
    This'll take the heart right out of me

    She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
    She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
    (2x)

    Lyrics
    This is going to bring me to my knees
    I just want to hold you close to me

    She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
    She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
    (2x)

    She is everything I needed
    She is everything
    she is by the fray, the lyrics really make me sad, because I connect with this song

    Twenty years it's breaking you down, now that you understand there's no one around.
    Take a breath, just take a seat, you're falling apart and tearing at the seams.

    Heaven forbid you end up alone and don't know why
    Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be all right

    It's on your face, is it on your mind, would you care to build a house of your own.
    How much longer, how long can you wait, It's like you wanted to go and give yourself away.

    Heaven forbid you end up alone and don't know why
    Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be all right

    It feels good. Is that reason enough for you.
    It feels good. Is that reason enough for you.

    Heaven forbid you end up alone and don't know why
    Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be all right
    Heaven forbid you end up alone and don't know why
    Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be all right

    Out of this one
    Don't know how to get you out of this one, don't know how to get you out of this one,
    Don't know how to get you out of this one, don't know how to get you out of this one
    heaven forbid also... "Heaven forbid, you end up alone and you dont know why" really lonely lyrics, pretty much how I feel

    And if I had a clue I'd know exactly what to do
    If I were the wiser of the two
    And if I saw it all so clear I'd write it down and bend your ear
    If I were the clearer of the two

    We could take a walk into the canyons of 5th ave.
    Sing and dance, just to name a few
    All I do, all I do

    And if I heard the angels sing
    I'd sing it back to you and bring sound of heaven ringing just for you
    And if I saw the sun fall down
    I'd pick it up and make a crown one that was a perfect fit for you

    We could take a walk into the apple orchard by the school
    We could make a little residue
    We could find a place to stay a secret little hideway
    Spend a little time inside of you

    All I do, all I do
    All eyes, all eyes, all eyes on you
    All I do, all I do, all I do, all I do
    "IF" by red hot chili peppers, all these songs I connect with because they pretty much describe how I feel to do with this girl I know and it hurts so much I love these songs

    My all time favorite song by my all time favorite band, the Stones. It's such a romantic song and it takes me back to Southern Caifornia in the good ole days.

    STAR****ER
    (M. Jagger/K. Richards)

    Baby, baby, I've been so sad since you've been gone
    Way back to New York City
    Where you do belong
    Honey, I missed your two-tone kisses
    Legs wrapped around me tight
    If I ever get back to Fun City, girl
    I'm going to make you scream all night

    Honey, honey, call me on the telephone
    I know you're movin' out to Hollywood
    With your can of tasty foam
    All those beat up friends of mine
    Got to get you in their books
    Lead guitars and movie stars
    Get their tongues beneath your hood

    Yeah! You're a star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star
    Yeah, a star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star
    A star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star**** er star

    Yeah, I heard about you Polaroid's
    Now that's what I call obscene
    Your tricks with fruit was kind a cute
    I bet you keep your p***y clean
    Honey, I miss your two tone kisses
    Legs wrapped around me tight
    If I ever get back to New York, girl
    Going to make you scream all night

    Yeah! You're a star ****er, star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star
    Yeah, a star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star
    A star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star****er star

    Yeah, Ali McGraw got mad with you
    For givin' h**d to Steve McQueen
    Yeah, you and me, we made a pretty pair
    Fallin' through the Silver Screen
    Honey, I'm open to anything
    I don't know where to draw the line
    Yeah, I'll make bets that you're going to get
    John Wayne before he dies

    Yeah! You're a star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star
    Yeah, a star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star
    A star**** er, star**** er, star**** er, star**** er star
    Yes you are
    A star*** er, star**** er, star****er, star**** er star
    A star er, star er, star er, star er star
    A star er, star er, star er, star er star
    A star er, star er, star er, star er star
    Starer starer, starer starer starer (yes you are)
    Starer starer, starer starer starer, yes you are, yes you are

    Oh-Yeah - Oh!
    Oh!
    Give us a kiss
    With a twist
    B**l me girl

    Poor grammar, but I love it! Haha

    Never meant to hurt you
    But I know I did
    Knocking on my door
    Baby something got to give
    Chasing all these women's
    Thas how us rappers live
    I know I did a lot of things that you can't forgive
    I was so weak when I should have been strong
    I was on the road and you were home alone
    In the back of my mind
    I knew that it was all wrong
    Its bonnie and clyde
    Jus you and me for now on

    I never been faithful before in my life
    Didn't understand the words husband and wife
    Every time I cheated on you cut you like a knife
    Im so ashamed I could take my own life
    Trying to keep my image up
    I lied to get you
    Had to be a rebel
    Couldn't be seen with you
    Use to call me late night because you really miss me
    I isn't even answer because I was out tricking
    Smelling like perfume, coming home late
    Another group of chicks
    So many damn mistakes
    Everything I said you knew that it was fake
    So many tears rolling down your precious little face

    Never meant to hurt you
    But I know I did
    Knocking on my door
    Baby something got to give
    Chasing all these women's
    Thas how us rappers live
    I know I did a lot of things that you can't forgive
    I was so weak when I should have been strong
    I was on the road and you were home alone
    In the back of my mind
    I knew it was all wrong
    Its bonnie and clyde
    Jus you and me for now on

    Where ever you go
    Whatever you do
    I will be right here waiting for you
    Whatever it takes
    Or how my heart breaks
    I will be right here waiting for you

    So many times I took you for granted
    So much pain I know you can't stand it
    Embarrassed you in front of your whole family
    The way I acted I should have won a grammy
    We're a million pieces
    I shatter you apart
    You gave me all your trust and I broke your heart
    Trying to be a good guy acting all hard
    Late night picking up chicks in your car
    I do anything if I can take you back
    Just you and me in my first cadillac
    You were a little gangster chick wearing my hat
    Took it all for granted everything I had

    Never meant to hurt you
    But I know I did
    Knocking on my door
    Baby something got to give
    Chasing all these women's
    Thas how us rappers live
    I know I did a lot of things that you can't forgive
    I was so weak when I should have been strong
    I was on the road and you were home alone
    In the back of my mind
    I knew it was all wrong
    It was bonnie and clyde
    Jus you and me for now on

    Where ever you go
    Whatever you do
    I will be right here waiting for you
    Whatever it takes
    Or how my heart breaks
    I will be right here waiting for you

    Never meant to hurt you
    But I know I did
    Knocking on my door
    Baby something got to give
    Chasing all these women's
    Thas how us rappers live
    I know I did a lot of things that you can't forgive
    I was so weak when I should have been strong
    I was on the road and you were home alone
    In the back of my mind
    I knew it was all wrong
    Its bonnie and clyde

    All Will Be Well
    (written by: Gabe Dixon/Dan Wilson)

    The new day dawns
    And I am practicing my purpose once again
    It is fresh and it is fruitful if I win
    But if I lose, ooh, I don't know
    I'll be tired but I will turn and I will go
    Only guessing 'til I get there then I'll know
    Ohh, I will know

    And all the children walking home past the factories
    Can see the light that's shining in my window
    As I write this song to you
    And all the cars running fast along the interstate
    Can feel the love that radiates
    Illuminating what I know is true

    And all will be well
    Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
    All will be well
    You can ask me how but only time will tell

    The winter's cold
    But the snow still lightly settles on the trees
    And a mess is still a moment I can seize until I know
    That all will be well
    Even though sometimes this is hard to tell
    And the fight is just as frustrating as hell
    All will be well

    And all the children walking home past the factories
    Can see the light that's shining in my window
    As I write this song to you
    And all the cars running fast along the interstate
    Can feel the love that radiates
    Illuminating what I know is true

    And all will be well
    Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
    All will be well
    You can ask me how but only time will tell

    You got to keep it up
    And don't give up
    And chase your dreams
    And you will find
    All in time

    And all the children walking home past the factories
    Can see the light that's shining in my window
    As I write this song to you
    And all the cars running fast along the interstate
    Can feel the love that radiates
    Illuminating what I know is true

    And all will be well
    Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
    All will be well
    You can ask me how but only time will tell

    All will be well
    Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
    All will be well
    You can ask me how but only time will tell

    Rainer Maria - Burn Lyrics

    Love is like a tyranny
    And I'm a tyrant sentencing
    You said that you believed in me
    And would burn for your beliefs
    I watched you burn
    Burn for me
    I watched you burn
    Burn for me
    Love's some kind of sorcery
    An inquisition's questioning
    You said that you believed in me
    And to take you on sometime
    You said that you believed in me
    And would burn for your beliefs
    I watched you burn
    I watched you burn for me
    I watched you burn
    Burn for me
    But now I wonder how
    I stood by
    I let you down
    Maybe I couldn't see
    That you would burn for me
    You were strong and clever
    And I didn't know any better
    I didn't know any better
    I could have set you free
    But I watched you burn
    I could have set you free
    But I watched you burn

I have a very important event coming up on April 29th of this year. I would like to lose twenty pounds by that time. I don't think that's too much weight to lose in this time, but it seems so hard to lose weight. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can lose 20 lbs in 2 1/2 months?
