So I've learned that I just gotta take it day by day
Get in my car turn the radio up and let the music play
And just Go, Go
Down that road anyway
So don't rush turn the radio up
And take it Day by Day by Day
Verse 1: Al-J Rap verse
(Chorus)
Verse 2: I saw the sunrise for the first time a little while ago now
And it turned me right around
I had hard choice or no voice staring clearly back at me
And I knew that I'd been found (yeah)
Did you know there's about a million
People on their knees right now
Trying to get to you that feeling
Everything is working out
So if there's nothing left to fear
Then why are we all so weighed down?
Get your feet off of the ceiling
Find yourself on solid ground
(Chorus)
Bridge:
It takes a while to sink in
That this life is just a dream
Kinda hard to keep up
In this fast paced reality
So put the top down, feel the breeze
Put your favorite song on high
Just let the road clear your head
Sit back, enjoy the ride
(Chorus)

Verse 1:
In the rear view
judging yourself is so easy
We tear down our past
then try to walk forward while we’re looking back
And there’s heart ache when we fight for the things that will hurt us
Push away friends that’d never desert us
and our spirit bends with each step we take but it never breaks
Pre Chorus:
They say we’re just kids with nowhere to go
but we’ve walked through fire and we’ve come to know
Chorus:
It’s the fall outs and the battles
the questions burning inside
These moments lead to finding out
who stands by your side
There’s words we wish we all said
and there’s choices that we regret
But a failure is just the first act
of a beautiful comeback
Verse 2:
Gonna get there
Just a mile to go
Hurdle jumpin’
Gonna put on a show
For the world
With the light on my face
Yeah I’m gonna soar
right out of this place
Pre Chorus:
They say we’re just kids with nowhere to go
but we’ve walked on the coals we already know
Chorus:
It’s the fallouts and the battles
the questions burning inside
These moments lead to finding out
who stands by your side
There’s words we wish we all said
and there’s choices that we regret
But a failure is just the first act
of a beautiful comeback
Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa
Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa
Chorus:
It’s the fallouts and the battles
the questions burning inside
These moments lead to finding out
who stands by your side
There’s words we wish we all said
and there’s choices that we regret
But a failure is just the first act
of a beautiful comeback
Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa
Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa

Walkin around tryin' to live your life
like everything's normal and everything's right
and it doesn't matter if it's dark or light
and everything doesn't get quiet at night
Afraid to remember, afraid to forget
You think there's a wrong way or right way to feel it
You'd leave your heart open but you think you might spill it
Cousin I've been there before
It's hard to imagine there's anything else or anything more
Do I do this for you, do I do it for me
I suppose you're a mirror and I guess I will see
all that lies underneath
all the lies I believe
What would you say if I promised again
that this hell's not forever, yes I'm sure it will end
They say it's eternal, but they say that in fear
If they said it in love, would it all disappear
Cousin I've been there before
I said it in love then I laughed at myself
'til I cried to my core
And I'm here to tell you there's more
So you do what you will honey
please understand
that the water was froze but the river still ran
So open your hear when you can
I know you'll open your heart when you can

This is a vision for the colorblind and non-believers
I see your face in the crowd and I know this is where I belong
Don't worry baby, a wise man told me once
'Nothing is as bad as it may first seem'
Breathe easy, we're in this together
Funny the way it works out
I was just a face, you were just another loud girl to me
I took you from that place, i say
This is the way its supposed to me
You're my best good friend, summer dies, I say
Breathe easy, we're in this together
This is a vision for the colorblind and non-believers:
Crazy at nineteen
Breathe easy, we're in this together

EXPLICIT CONTENT
Though the southern moon has balked
here in vision and in keeping
crow may cavern, caw and mock
there's no vision for the weeping
she may beg, and i may at times
bend my knees to take inside
the smaller piece, the cock divine
psychic seen, and mostly mine
she will press her body hard against me
i will sum our victories in light
and i wake up, and i forget
hey... hallelujah
hey... hallelujah
hey... hallelujah
i'm on my own side
she may beg and i may at times
bend my knees to take inside
the smaller piece, the cock divine
psychic seen and mostly mine
and i wake up, and i forget
hey hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Come my friend, it seems like you’re havin a day
It seems like the weight that you bare, is more than you take
I don’t cry when Im not alone, she tried
Lay down your head my friend, don’t go it alone
I know sometimes, sometimes there is never enough
Sometimes the most we can give, is the least that you need
How can I even begin to try
You don’t have to ask, my friend Ill stay by your side
Lay your head down, rest for awhile, and Ill pick you up
I will take it awhile
Lay your head down, my friend lay on down
I’ve been walking the streets at night
Just tryin to get it right
And its hard to sleep with so many around,
You know I don’t like being stuck in the ground
And the streets don’t change but maybe the names,
I ain’t got time for the pain cause I need you,
Oh my love how I need you
Oh my love how I need.

How can I open up,
When I drop my guard I get let down
Am I not enough,
Do I have to prove you should stick around
Do you see it in my eyes
That I'm sick of all this pain
It's not easy when it all comes down and, I'm crying out
But I'm still breathing, yeah I'll be okay I just need some space
We all have our scars, so what, that's what makes us who we are
So keep believing, when it's not easy
Why do I play your games
I shouldn't have to change who I really am
No matter what I say
I'm still on the outside looking in
Soon your gonna see me rise
Like a phoenix from the flames
It's not easy when it all comes down and, I'm crying out
But I'm still breathing, yeah I'll be okay I just need some space
We all have our scars, so what, that's what makes us who we are
So keep believing, when it's not easy
Woah
Somewhere in all this mess
I'm gonna find my strength
I'm over pleasing you
This time I'm walking away
It's not easy when it all comes down and, I'm crying out
But I'm still breathing, yeah
It's not easy when it all comes down and, I'm crying out
But I'm still breathing, yeah I'll be okay I just need some space
We all have our scars, so what, that's what makes us who we are
So keep believing, when it's not easy
So keep believing, when it's not easy

La la la la, la la ...
(VERSE 1)
There are many like you
Who feel they don't belong
Every day is a struggle
Not sure if you'll make it through I know its hard
But please don't give up
Know there is hope And that you're good enough
(CHORUS)
Y - A - N - A
Just say it with me
You Are Not Alone
Say it until you believe
(VERSE 2)
This is for the outcast
For the ones who don't fit in
For those who hide behind a smile
Who are screaming in their skin
Don't suffer in silence Its okay to seek help
Wanting to get better is the first step
Don't retreat inside yourself
(CHORUS)
Y - A - N - A
Just say it with me
You Are Not Alone
Say it until you believe
(BREAKDOWN)
Its strength in numbers
Together we stand tall
You Are Not Alone
Together we won't fall
I know how you feel
Like nothing is real
That no one understands
This song is a helping hand ...
(CHORUS)
Y - A - N - A
Just say it with me
You Are Not Alone
Say it until you believe

I am not a real man, I'll tell you why
It's not the reason you are thinking of
Lean in close, I'll share with you a secret
No one is a real man at all
Chorus:
Pinocchio, you are a boy
it doesn't take no fairy blue
much less a therapist, three doctors and a knife
to cut your flesh and make you real
you are as real as dreams come true
I'm tired of tracing one straight line back through our lives
Let's crack up this geode they call boy and girl
to see what pretty stones that it elides
Kinda like this geode there is more to us
than ever possibly could meet the eye
I think I've found a way to make it through
I'll let you in, I've got a tip or two
we get together, organize, it's true
We've got a lot of work to do
Chorus
I am not particularly interested
in being illegible for its own sake
I have been illegible to most everyone
Relative to that, manhood is cake
It feels much better to be seen each day
sometimes it's hard to keep the wolves at bay
who say forget who you were yesterday,
come out with only boys to play
Chorus
I am not a real man, I'll tell you why
It's not the reason you are thinking of
Lean in close, I'll share with you a secret
No one is a real man at all

Itsy bitsy little girl, it kills me every time
They call me Psycho, you Psycho!
I better, better be prepared
For all the bullies and the stares,
Or fight now, I better fight now!
I think it’s time you took a look at Psycho, now
Time to show the real me
You'd be surprised at how delicious I am now
And how free
I just wanna jump in
Makes me wanna jump right into life
Big shot, take over the world, it kills ya every time
You hear my name now, this is my game now
I make you, make you eat your words
And every time you laughed at me
I shine now and that’s alright now
I just wanna jump in
Makes me wanna jump, right into life
I think it’s time you took a look at Psycho, now
Time to show the real me
You'd be surprised at how delicious I am now
And how free
I just wanna jump in
Makes me wanna jump right into life

Mama, it is raining leaves,
It's snowing leaves,
They're falling down,
I love the way she says that and,
I love this part of town.
I love being surrounded by so many kinds of trees,
October on the west side reminds me to fall back east,
'cept I don't feel like falling for, the feeling that I've gotta fall,
I feel like standing tall,
and getting all of my ducks in a row,
I'm sure some times I'll waver,
but I'll savour good intentions I know,
that progress not perfection is the only way to go,
If I wanna grow,
Gotta prove my soul,
Shed the leaves, 'til I am wet and naked,
Cold and rainy,
So, there's room for those,
Things that wanna grow,
That are beautiful, and amazing.
The days that seem,
The most dreary,
Are perfect for being creative and cosy,
As long as we sing,
Until the Spring,
This Winter can be,
A most magical thing,
And our trunks will be,
Solid and strong,
Even after,
The leaves are all gone,
Our trunks will be,
Solid and strong,
Even after,
The leaves are all gone.
Mama, it is raining leaves,
It's snowing leaves,
They're falling down,
I love the way she says that and,
I love this part of town,
Mama, it is raining leaves,
It's snowing leaves,
They're falling down,
I love the way she says that and,
I love this part of town...

There’s so much I can’t take away
your little heart has been so afraid.
I never did you right
Knew what I was doing the whole time.
Someday when you finally take the risk, you’ll see
how beautiful you are.
I promise that I won’t hold you down,
you’ve been on the bottom for way to long.
It’s time to get up, time to get up, time to get up.
Don’t listen to me or anything cold
don’t heed my advice, I have been wrong.
All that’s left to go is this thin, thin coat.
You can’t call it love if I was never any good for you,
fighting the truth with a line of chasers.
Try and promise to let me go,
just turn down the volume in your head if you have to.
It’s time to get up, time to get up, time to get up.
Don’t listen to me or anything cold
Don’t heed my advice, I have been wrong
All that’s left to go is this thin, thin coat.

All's undone
Oh I know it’s all you see
I've lost my charm
Not unharmed
Seems you've won my heart, and oh
I cry with outstretched arms
Don't turn your eyes
It’s all right
We'll be fine
Just hold on tight
Don't lose sight
We're almost home
The well's run dry
Nothing left,
But that's all I needed
You turn my sighs
Into laughter
You've flooded me with hope
I'm falling on my knees
