A song about about letting go of life's daily complexity and remembering what it feels like to be carefree, even if it's just for a short while.

Didn't know how
Didn't know how to change
But I wanted everything
To be new again

Do you trust enough
To let somebody in
And deliver us
To a finer end

In a small way
I'm already gone
In a new day
I will sing this song

[Chorus]
I feel the sun setting on us
We can feel the world turning round
And in the world all around us
We can just be lost until we're found

If I told you
If I told you of a place
Where your mistakes
Disappear
Without a trace

Something in your heart
Burns like wild fire
So don't turn away
And make your heart a liar

Will you follow
Will you stay inside
Let the darkness
Give in to the sunrise

[Chorus]
I feel the sun setting on us
We can feel the world turning round
And in the world all around us
We can just be lost until we're found

Dog Eat Dog
By Charles D'Simone

When I was young
Just a mother's son
The world seemed different to me
I remember everything made sense

Oh how I've tried
But my hands were tied
No I can't stop defending
I'm pretending
I won't play that game

I will hold the line
On this hollowed ground
Till I'm black and blue
And my heart is found

I won't walk away
Till I know for sure
That I have gotten
What I came here for

[Chorus]
I thought that I could tell the right from all the wrong
But the good heart falls before the strong
It's a dog eat dog
World we live in
You've got to fight
Just to carry on

Subjugate the meek
Don't let them speak
When only sticks and stones
Can break your bones
Don't let it bring you down

When all the tears fell like rain
No one ever will feel safe again
I don't know how and I don't know when
There's just one way through it
Here we go again

[Chorus]
I thought that I could tell the right from all the wrong
But the good heart falls before the strong
It's a dog eat dog
World we live in
You've got to fight
Just to carry on

[Bridge]
With all the heroes
Sometimes it's hard to get a table at your favorite place
Yeah sometimes I feel like I'm just dog food on somebody else's plate
But I'm never giving up
Cause giving up's not my speed
And I just might bite the hand that feeds
In this dog eat dog world

Yeah, dog eat dog world
Yeah, dog eat dog world
Yeah, dog eat dog world
Yeah, dog eat dog world

I heard it on the wire you've got a secret
But I don't want to know so you can keep it
Some people think they need to have it all
They struggle in the need until you fall

But I don't give a damn I see things clear
I never wanted much just want you near
But sometimes in the words you feel so hollow
You want to disappear forget tomorrow

But if you stray very far
And you forget where you are
You can't go back and change your fate
But you can learn it's not too late

[Chorus]
Everywhere you go
I'll be there you know
You will always find me waiting for you
In the midnight hour
Like a signal tower
You will always find me waiting for you

I've seen it all before it's nothing new
You're looking like you don't believe it's true
But you can take your time it's fine with me
Cause in the end I know just what you'll see

And every word I said is true
And every road led me to you
But it's your time the heart will burn
And I'll be here when you return

[Chorus]
Everywhere you go
I'll be there you know
You will always find me waiting for you
In the midnight hour
Like a signal tower
You will always find me waiting for you

[Bridge]
Once you come down
From hanging around
Don't worry too much
Right now you can trust

Repeat Chorus

Monday morning seeing people on the subway line
It's a miracle, quite biblical that I am up on time
Oh it's hard to breathe when you're so far under ground
Oh I wish there was a blue pill I could take
To wash away the truth I have found

I've read all the self-help books trying to set myself free
According to the experts I'm my own worst enemy
Oh I tried to find some answers to it all
But it feels like there's no rhyme or reason
Just a roll of the dice and that's all

[Chorus]
Sometimes you win
Sometime you draw
Sometimes you fight
Sometimes you fall
Oh it's hard to remember when you get to December
There's flowers in the spring
Sometimes the end is where you begin

It's like I pulled myself together one too many times
I'm so damn disconnected can't even tell if I'm lying
Oh I fooled myself just to make it through the day
Oh I broke the mirror on the wall
I don't want to hear what it has to say

[Chorus]
Sometimes you pray
Sometime you sin
Sometimes it hurts to let them come in
Sometimes you fall
Oh it's hard to forget all the pain and regret
And harder still to forgive
Sometimes you die
Sometimes you live

Oh it seems to me the state of this life
Just has a little bit too much trouble
It's a wonder anybody can smile
But a smile makes the trouble worthwhile

Oh there are people I'm sure I would like
But we are separated for some reason
A little story that somebody told
And we grow up become jaded and cold

But I turned around too late
And I saw love turn to hate
Now I don't give a damn
If I have one leg to stand

[Chorus]
Oh I give it all, all for love
Oh I give it all, all for love
Heaven's not mine
And I don't have too much time
I know what to do
So I give my love to you

Is there a little place left in your heart
To forgive or forget there's a start
But in a way we are all the same
We just want to be free from the pain

But don't be fooled by them
Who tell you what to defend
Oh the moon and stars above
They will shine on all with love

[Bridge]
Now I'm giving it the best that I've got
Oh I may be a fool but the one thing I'm not
Is afraid to walk through this fire
Take me higher

[Chorus]
Oh I give it all, all for love
Oh I give it all, all for love
Oh I give it all, all for love
Heaven's not mine
And I don't have too much time
I know what to do
So I give my love to you
All for love
All for love
All for love
All for love
