We keep the music moving and keep the groove and grooving Stomp our feet to the beat, so we can feel the rhythm we wont let any second pass us by The clock will keep on ticking, time will keep on running But we won’t stop till we drop, till the early morning we won’t let any second pass us by Don’t you know time will never be turning back for you and I So now is the time to make your life everything you want it to be Reach out, reach for the sky We won’t let any second pass us by Reach out, reach for the sky We won’t let any second pass us by My life is yours to mould it, so please won’t you control it No one else gonna tell me what to do about it We won’t let any second pass us by Reach out, reach for the sky We won’t let any second pass us by Reach out, reach for the sky We won’t let any second pass us by Take a step from reality Start living in a life that's free, live a life where you can't deny That to touch the sky you only gotta try Every man, every woman, every girl, every guy Reach high, don't question why Every second that you waste is a maze of amazement Days that you never gonna taste again And I know when I get into the flow I can feel it in my spirit, wanna open up the door And I done it all before, like I'm flying off the floor Here I go and yeah I go until the going gets slow And I gotta take another second Coz I gotta make it happen I won't even waste a moment Cherish every single second Don't stop, keep it up, reach out All I gotta ask is Don’t you know time will never be turning back for you and I So now is the time to make your life everything you want it to be Reach out, reach for the sky We won’t let any second pass you by Reach out, reach for the sky We won’t let any second pass you by We won’t let any second pass us We won’t let any second pass us We won’t let any second pass us by We won’t let any second pass us We won’t let any second pass us We won’t let any second pass us by

If You Ever 04:31
See I’m very good with excuses I’m very good with making up little lies But if I had to be very honest You can see the truth in my eyes Just like you I’m far from perfect Just like you I got my own little flaws Just like you I got my own problems But that aint stopping me from loving us If you ever feel you're not important (If you ever) If you ever feel like you're not enough (If you ever) If you’re ever treated less than special (If you ever) You need to know there's someone here who loves you So let me start again I know that you’ve been hurt I know that you've been crying (I know that you've been crying) I know the pain you feel and the place you're lying in (the place your lying in) So let me be the cure Your love medicine No need for all those tears Just let me in If you ever feel you're not important (If you ever) If you ever feel like you're not enough (If you ever) If you’re ever treated less than special (If you ever) You need to know that someone’s here who loves you I don’t need to tell you (I don’t even need to let you know) I don’t need to prove to you (I don’t need to say a word to you) Because Every time that you need Somebody here who believes I'll pick you every time when you fall on your knees I will never ever make you feel like all alone If you ever feel you're not important (If you ever) If you ever feel like you're not enough (If you ever) If you’re ever treated less than special (If you ever) You need to know that someone’s here who loves you If you ever feel you're not important (If you ever) If you ever feel like you're not enough (If you ever) If you’re ever treated less than special (If you ever) You need to know that someone’s here who loves you

Mr Carefree 04:40
People call me funny, although my jokes are crummy But I don’t think that they mind Sometimes I’m not that friendly, sometimes I might get grumpy So I hope you don’t mind You think that I’m a winner, You think that I’m a dreamer Cause I’m good with my life But theres a simpler picture, that takes me much more further that gives me peace of mind I’ll never question why I’m just living a day at a time Haven’t you heard about me, call me Mr. Carefree Take the problems off of me, gimme the ground beneath my feet See the life I lead, I delight in simple things See the thing that you don’t see You could be exactly in the same shoes as Mr. Carefree I don’t need to worry You won’t see me hurry Something tells me it’s fine I’m free as free can be Like a summer bee ill only sting you if we fight You'll never see me cry I’m just living a day at a time Haven’t you heard about me, call me Mr. Carefree Take the problems off of me, gimme the ground beneath my feet See the life I lead, I delight in simple things See the thing that you don’t see You could be exactly in the same shoes as Mr. Carefree I’ll never question why You'll never see me cry I’m just living a day at a time Haven’t you heard about me, call me Mr. Carefree Take the problems off of me, gimme the ground beneath my feet See the life I lead, I delight in simple things See the thing that you don’t see You could be exactly in the same shoes as Mr. Carefree Haven’t you heard about me, call me Mr. Carefree Take the problems off of me, gimme the ground beneath my feet See the life I lead, I delight in simple things See the thing that you don’t see You could be exactly in the same shoes as Mr. Carefree

Now listen up to the words of this song We ain't got all day long Think about all of the things that we've done From the morn to the setting of the sun now Looking back I remember a time Everybody had a little dream just like mine To reach the top is the plot is it not But everybody gives up because its too tough right Whatever happened to the good times Where everybody worked hard, tried hard To find a spark in their heart so they can take part in Doing something impossible Make something possible Don’t let a trip or a fall put you down put your head up move it up, and bounce Who here wants to work hard Who here wants to be heard Who here wants a fresh start Move it up, move it up, everybody move skyward Who here wants a fast car Who here wants a front yard Who here wants to dream large Move it up, move it up, everybody move skyward You'll find that life ain't what you thought it would be You gotta love what you got And fight for the top coz We only got this time (hey) We only need this time (hey) To make the world a better place Work at your peak and make a better day Whatever happened to the good times the fire aint dead like a fire stays red You can move it up if you follow this step just Do something impossible Make something possible Don’t let a trip or a fall put down Put your head move it up and bounce Who here wants to work hard Who here wants to be heard Who here wants a fresh start Move it up, move it up, everybody move skyward Who here wants a fast car Who here wants a front yard Who here wants to dream large Move it up, move it up, everybody move skyward Saxy Tumzay on the microphone hey No need to think just live like it's your last day Every day, I will pray for the way for you and I to find that peace of mind That love for your brother, love for another Love for yourself so you'll never be bothered by the Lack of attention, lack of motivation You could be the star in any generation A saxophone alone it could hold a note long enough to mould a beautiful sound all around the room But resume the bass boom with your feet to the beat together Who needs the tone, who needs the groove, who needs to move Yea we got all we need from all the truth yea Saxy tumzay on the microphone hey If you want the drop, put it up, everybody say Who here wants to work hard Who here wants to be heard Who here wants a fresh start Move it up, move it up, everybody move skyward Who here wants a front yard Who here wants a fast car Who here wants to dream large Move it up, move it up, everybody move skyward
