HOME – BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Is this home
Is this what I must learn to believe in
Try to find
Something good in this tragic place
Just in case
I should stay here forever
Held in this empty space
Oh, but that won't be easy
I know the reason why
My heart's far, far away
Home's a lie

What I'd give to return


To the life that I knew lately
But I know that I can't
Solve my problems going back

Is this home?
Am I here for a day or forever?
Shut away
From the world until who knows when
Oh, but then
As my life has been altered once
It can change again
Build higher walls around me
Change ev'ry lock and key
Nothing lasts, nothing holds
All of me
My heart's far, far away
Home and free!

ALL I WANT

I found a guy, told me I was a star


He held the door held my hand in the dark
And he’s perfect on paper but he’s lying to my face
Does he think that I’m the kinda girl who needs to be saved

And there’s one more boy he’s from my past


We feel in love but it didn’t last
Cuz the second I figured it out
He pushes me away
And I won’t fight for love if you won’t meet me halfway
And I say that I’m through but this song’s still for you

All I want is a good guy


Are my expectations far too high
Try my best but what can I say
All I have is myself at the end of the day
Shouldn’t that be enough for me

And I miss the days


When I was young and naive
I thought the perfect guy would come and find me
Now happy ever after it don’t come so easily

All I want is love that lasts


Is all I want too much to ask
Is it something wrong with me
All I want is a good guy
Are my expectations far too high
Try my best but what can I say
All I have is myself at the end of the day
And all I want is for that to be okay

HEART OF STONE

You've got a good heart


But I know it changes
A restless tide, untameable
You came my way
And I knew a storm could come too
You'd lift me high, or let me fall

But I took your hand


Promised I'd withstand
Any blaze you blew my way
'Cause something inside
It solidified
And I knew I'd always stay

You can build me up


You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakable
When the fire's burnt
the wind has blown
the water's dried
You'll still find stone
My heart of stone
You can build me up
You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakable
The fire's burnt
The wind has blown
The water's dried

You'll still find stone


My heart of stone

WHO I’D BE

I guess I'd be a hero, With sword and armor clashing


Looking semi dashing, A shield within my grip
Or else I'd be a Viking and live a life of daring
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship.
I'd sail away, I'd see the world, I'd reach the farthest reaches
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea.
And maybe storm some beaches.
That's who I'd be. That's who I'd be.

An Ogre always hides, an Ogre's fate is known


And Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone

So yes I'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted


Life would be enchanted, or so the stories say.
Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower
To save a hot-house flower, and carry her away
But standing guard would be a beast, I'd somehow over whelm it,
I'd get the girl, I'd take my breath, and I'd remove my helmet.

We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love, we'd feel the stars ascending
We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny
I'd have a hero's ending, a perfect happy ending.
That's how it would be
A big bright beautiful world
But not for me.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO MY PART

What ever happened to my part?


It was exciting at the start
Now we're halfway through act 2
And I've had nothing yet to do
I've been offstage for far too long
It's ages since I had a song
This is one unhappy diva
The producer's have deceived her
There is nothing I can sing from my heart
Whatever happened to my part?

I am sick of my career
Always starting second gear
Up to here, with frustration and with fears
I've no Grammy no rewards
I've no Tony Awards
I'm constantly replaced with Britney Spears

Whatever happened to my show?


I was a hit, now I don't know
I'm with a bunch of british knights
Prancing 'round in woolly tights

I might as well go to the pub


They've been out searching for a shrub
Out shopping for a bush
Well they can kiss my tush
It seems to me they've really lost the plot

Whatever happened to my
Part!

PURPOSE

Purpose,
It's that little flame
That lights a fire
Under your ass.
Purpose,
It keeps you going strong
Like a car with a full
Tank of gas.

Everyone else has


A purpose
So what's mine?
Oh, look! Here's a penny!
It's from the year i was born!
It's a sign!

Ba-ba-ba-ba
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
I don't know how i know,
But i'm gonna find
My purpose.
I don't know where
I'm gonna look,
But i'm gonna find
My purpose.

Gotta find out,


Don't wanna wait!
Got to make sure that my
Life will be great!
Gotta find my purpose
Before it's too late.

I'm gonna find my purpose

I'm gonna find my purpose

What will it be? Where will ft be?


My purpose in life is a mystery
Gotta find my purpose
Gotta find me.
I'm gonna find my purpose!
Purpose purpose purpose!
Yeah yeah!
Gotta find me.

I´M ALIVE

I am what you want me to be,


And I'm your worst fear
You'll find it in me.
Come closer...
Come closer...

I am more than memory


I am what might be,
I am mystery
You know me
So show me.

When I appear it's


Not so clear if
I'm a simple spirit
Or I'm flesh and blood

But I'm alive,


I'm alive,
I am so alive,
And I feed on the fear
That's behind your eyes.

And I need you


To need me
It's no surprise
I'm alive...
So alive...
I'm alive.

I'm alive
I'm right behind you.
You say forget,
But I remind you.
You can try to hide,
You know that I will find you.
'Cause if you won't grieve me
You won't leave me behind...

Ah, ah, ah,


Whoa, oh, oh,
Whoa, oh, oh...
No, no, no
I'm alive,
I'm alive,
I am so alive,
If you climb on my back,
Then we both can fly.

If you try to deny me


I'll never die
I'm alive...
So alive...
I'm alive...
Yeah, yeah...
I'm alive...
I'm alive...
I'm alive...
I'm alive!
OUT THERE

Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone


Gazing at the people down below me
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Hungry for the histories they show me

All my life I memorize their faces


Knowing them as they will never know me
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them
But part of them

And out there


Living in the sun
Give me one day out there
All I ask is one
To hold forever

Out there
Where they all live unaware
What I'd give
What I'd dare
Just to live one day out there

Out there
Strolling by the Seine
Taste a morning out there
Like ordinary men
Who freely walk about there

Just one day and then


I swear I'll be content
With my share
Won't resent
Won't despair
Old and bent
I won't care
I'll have spent
One day
Out there
I DIDN´T PLAN IT

Go ahead
Throw your rocks at me
From your little glass house
And then take off running
You're no better than me
We've both made mistakes haven't we

I won't undo what I'm doing


Sit in judgment of what makes us human
I don't claim to be proud
But my head won't be hung in shame

I didn't plan it
But the light turned red, and I ran it
And I'm still standing
It's not what I wanted, but now that it's right here

I needed saving
And a good mistake needed making
Maybe you need the same thing

Something to feel
To race through your blood
And remind you you're here
To open your eyes and look around
And see the sky when you're on the ground

I didn't plan it
But that's life and I'm finally feeling alive
It's not right but it's mine
And it's finally something to feel

SOMETHING ROTTEN

If you ever got in trouble


I would be there on the double
Just to bail you out
If there's anything you lack
You know I've always got your back
That's what it's all about

Think of me as your sidekick


Helping you whenever I can
I'm more than just a woman, baby
When the pressure's coming, baby
Let me be your right-hand man
But you're not a man, I'm the man
(Ugh! You're not hearing me)

If you're ever in a fix


And it's a fix you need to nix
Then I'm your go-to guy
(You're not a guy) don't be so literal!
And don't forget
I'm not a shrinking violet
A solid rock am I

So don't be thinking I'll crumble


When the you-know-what hits the fan
There's no problem that's too big
When you're married, that's the gig
So don't be a sexist pig

Is it asking too much of you


It's only cause I love you
Let me be your right
In fact, I'll show you that I'm right

What are you doing now?


(I'm gonna get you boys some meat!)

Baby, I'm your right


Don't put up a fight
I can be your right
Starting here tonight
Let me be your right-hand man
Let me be your right-hand man
