GET UP
I'm not afraid to fall
it means I climbed up high
to fall is not to fail
you fail when you don't try
not afraid to fall
I might just learn to fly
I wIll spread these wings of mine
if I get up I might fall back down again
so let's get up c'mon
if I get up I might fall back down again
but we get up anyway
but we'll just jump and see even if it's the 20th time
we'll just jump and see if we can fly
I'm not afraid to fall and hear I told you so
don't want to rock the boat
but I just had to know
just a greener side
or can I touch the sky
but either way I will have tried
if I get up I might fall back down again
so let's get up c'mon
if I get up I might fall back down again
but we get up anyway
but we'll just jump and see even if it's the 30th time
we'll just jump and see if we can fly
I'm not afraid to fall
I've fallen many times
they laughed when I fell down
but I have dared to climb
not afraid to fall
I know I'll fall again
but I can win this in the end
if I get up I might fall back down again
so let's get up c'mon
if I get up I might fall back down again
but we get up anyway
but we'll just jump and see even if it's the 40th time
we'll just jump and see if we can fly
BARLOW GIRLS
we met these sisters Barlow's their last name
ordinary girls they don't live in the fastlane
they don't rate with the guys that score
cause they don't flaunt what the boys want more
they don't date they won't date
they wanna see how they're gonna grow up -who they're gonna be
in the meantime they might feel unloved
when all the girls around them are hooking up
but I know for sure it's never popular to be pure
and while some guys might be passing them by
I think they've caught someone's eye
all the boys in the band want a valentine from a Barlow girl
boys think they're the bomb
cause they remind them of their mom
everyone needs to be loved
everyone needs their own teenage fan club
any attention can feel like a good thing
dress to impress can be oh so tempting
you can get noticed with your body
sexual hypnosis by being hottie
you might feel like public property
you might you might you shouldn't be
no girl should feel she has to trade
her body for love or be an old maid
and yes there are guys who are willing to wait
ask a Barlow girl on her wedding day
BIG STAR MACHINE
could someone help me comprehend
how my wanting to have friends
is now this monster that I feed
it's popularity I need
when people think that I'm the deal
it helps me feel like I am real
but I think I lost the me
looking for the star machine
I don't want any part of it
everything is here today gone tomorrow
big star machine
ricky martin or menudo
big star machine
VHl "where are they?"
follows big star machine
how could I have been so shallow
big big star machine
could someone help me comprehend
how I came to judge my friends
on a scale of trendiness
and somehow I love them less
not as hip as they could be
through the eyes of star machine
it's a dumb philosophy
to judge by popularity
I don't want any part of it everything is
here today gone tomorrow
big star machine
ricky martin or menudo

VHl "where are they?"
follows big star machine
how could I have been so shallow

NOT DONE YET
it's been one of those days for a lot of days now
I need a day where the world can take care of itself
this isn't what I wanted how I thought my life would turn out
and I wonder if it's like this from here on out
sometimes life gets you but we go on
sometimes life gets you we're still going on
we're not done yet
not going quietly into the night
not me and my friends
we're not done yet
don't take it too seriously
it's just life we'll win in the end
and we walk on and on and on
and we walk on and on
it's been one of those days for too many days now
I did the thing that I didn't want to do again
I fell down in the place where I always fall down
and I wanna give up and let it be what it's been
sometimes life gets you but we go on
sometimes life gets you we're still going on
we're not done yet
not going quietly into the night
not me and my friends
we're not done yet
don't take it too seriously
it's just life we'll win in the end
and we walk on and on and on
and we walk on and on
it's been one of those days but I don't care now
it was only a day and tomorrow's ahead
we got this far and I know that I can ride this one out
though I want to lie down well I won't quit yet
sometimes life gets you but we go on
sometimes life gets you we're still going on
we're not done yet
not going quietly into the night
not me and my friends
we're not done yet
don't take it too seriously
it's just life we'll win in the end
and we walk on and on and on
and we walk on and on

TV LAND
so life is different than what they show us on TV
do dreams come true for everyone or just for Barbie
and I've been waiting here so very patiently
well it's been so long it's been too long
I wonder what's wrong with me
I wanna know how to live in the real world
I wanna know cause I'm a real live girl
I wanna live in TV land with Mr T and the A-team
my problems they could solve before the end of the show
I wanna live in TV land where they're SO thin and pretty
they must be nice people cause they're on 90210
in TV land
I wish I looked like all the nice actors on TV
sometimes you've got to choose between real and plastic surgery
just like the people on the television screen
Barbie's not a role model she's only make believe
I wanna know how to live in the real world
I wanna know cause I'm a real live girl
I wanna live in TV land and be one of Charlie's angels
it must be fun to fight crime and have new clothes for every show
I wanna live in TV land like Samantha or Dream of jeannie
my problems I could solve by wrinkling my nose
in TV land
I wanna live in TV Land we can change the world through the TV
show all kinds of people like we have in the real world
I wanna live in TV land make it safe to be ordinary
gonna do my own show it's all about us real live girls
in TV land
HELP ME OUT GOD
help me out God I need a little something
turn the brights on I can't see where we're going
cause I don't know when things'll work out just fine
or if this road we're on leads us up
or is leading me on down to my wishing well
where I might drown oh I might drown
cause I can't swim without you God
help me out God I need a little something
hold my hand so I know that I'm not falling down
or spinning round or am I really just fine
is this vertigo I feel just simply fear or maybe real
it's a long way down and I might fall and I might fall
cause I can't stand without you God
help me out God I need a little something
just enough so I don't lose hope before morning comes
cause in the sun things'll work out just fine
but this night's been extra long I fear I won't make it to the dawn
cause the night is dark and I might doubt and I might doubt
cause I can't hope without you God
just enough for today get me through 'til tomorrow
ONE GIRL REVOLUTION
I wear a disguise
I'm just your average jane
the super doesn't stand for model
but that doesn't mean I'm plain
if all you see is how I look
you miss the superchick within
and I christen you titanic
underestimate and swim
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I'll be everything that I want to be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot bang that you hear round the world
I'm a one girl revolution
some people see the revolution
but most only see the girl
I can lose my hard earned freedom
if my fear defines my world
I declare my independence
from the critics and their stones
I can find my revolution
I can learn to stand alone
ALRIGHT
there's so much on my mind lately
I can't make out my own thoughts anymore
I don't know where one begins and the other one ends
I wish that I could push a button
and turn it all off just for a little while
long enough to take a breath and then I'll know
it'll be OK
it'll be alright
there's so much that needs done lately
I can't make out what's important anymore
I don't know where my needs begin and someone else's ends
I don't wanna let anybody down cause
I feel like I'm falling down when I do
but for now would someone else please volunteer to say
it'll be OK
it'll be alright
life is hard for everyone so let's blow it all off just for a little while
let's take a break it'll still be there when we get back
I always try to solve all our problems by
working real hard going just another mile
but every now and then I think we should let it go and say
it'll be OK
it'll be alright
this is my last verse and it's for everyone feeling not so great today
we don't know what's coming just around the bend
always hard to believe in your own life easier to find belief for a friend
I'll hope for you, you for me
and together we can say
it'll be OK
it'll be alright
LET IT BE
some people bring you gifts
some bring you bricks to weigh you down
so they can swim a little higher while you drown
some people mean so well
their way was the best way that they found
but any other way you choose is a brick that weighs you down
so tell me what do I do with this backpack full of bricks
of sticks and stones and words that stuck to me like ticks
let it go, let it be, brick by brick we can be free
of all the words we saved till we were our own enemies
let it go, let it be, brick by brick we can believe
in the person God intended us to be
let it be
some people give themselves a brick
I know most people do
when we compare we fall short somewhere
it's always true
if all we see is where we fall we've bricked a prison wall
instead of trying to learn to fly we've taught ourselves to crawl
we could believe in ourselves more we could try for unique instead of trying to conform
we could defy what they tell us don't buy the lies they sell us
if we're brave we can believe in what we are
