Through The Rain 04:46
lyrics
buy track
Everything I wish for, everything I dream of Is nothing if I don't share it with you If I could save you from your fears, whisk them all away I'd make any sacrifice necessary I don't wanna see you suffer something deep inside I wanna shine a light of hope into your darkest night And though my candle's burning, it's up to you to see Cos darling only you can set yourself free Chorus (Through the rain) We can make it though the rain (No more pain) I wanna peel away your pain (Give you love) I wanna give you love (Again and again) Again and again and again and again repeat chorus You stand there at the door, nothing stands between you and your destiny I'm calling from the other side, can you hear me? I have to let you go through it alone There is a way but it's not easy No point my being mad or even sad Cos you can't do it just to please me (Through the rain) We can make it though the rain (No more pain) I wanna peel away your pain (Give you love) I wanna give you love (Again and again) Again and again and again and again repeat My heart feels for you, I can see your potential All that I can do is keep loving you, loving you, loving you, loving you To help us see it through a grain of hope is essential I will do all I can do, this girl will keep loving you (Through the rain) We can make it though the rain (No more pain) I wanna peel away your pain (Give you love) I wanna give you love (Again and again) Again and again and again and again repeat (Through the rain) We can make it, we can make it (No more pain) We can peel away your pain (Give you love) Oh I wanna give you love (Again and again) I love you, I love you, I love you repeat

Til The End Of Time 04:35
lyrics

Aaah 'til the end of time Treading this path all alone Never know what lies ahead Will I make it to the end, will I ever find a special friend to take me there? There's a desert in my heart When the rain of love will start will I be prepared? A shot in the dark and a brand new start Now I realise why, it came from the heart Sometime these walls can be overcome There's no need to fight when you've already won My love is yours and your love it is mine Let's make it last 'til the end of time. You came along, it was you Would never have known what lay ahead Slipping sliding giving way, lapping up each word you say, Still unaware Then my heart strings felt the pull Felt myself be vulnerable But I didn't care A shot in the dark and a brand new start Now I realise why, it came from the heart Sometime these walls can be overcome There's no need to fight when you've already won My love is yours and your love it is mine Let's make it last 'til the end of time. (Till the end of time) Make it last forever (Till the end of time) I believe we can stay together (Till the end of time) Your love is mine We can make it 'til the end of time A shot in the dark and a brand new start Now I realise why, it came from the heart Sometime these walls can be overcome There's no need to fight when you've already won My love is yours and your love it is mine Let's make it last 'til the end of time. Til the end of time Make it last Til the end of time

Respect To Hold On 05:09
lyrics

I can feel my jaws grinding The chill of a breeze on a tear on my face Blood marching up my veins I'm all alone, this is a crowded place I'm knocking on your bubble, let me in Can't you budge up a little, you're pinching my skin Oh you're pinching my skin Chorus But I'm giving myself respect to hold on I'm giving myself respect to hold on x2 And I'm holding on I'm a screaming genie, screaming I can make your dreams come true But I cannot, I cannot be heard Boy you've got some rubbing to do Wild and happy I was dancing on the outside But you trapped me, lassoed me, and dragged me inside Oh you dragged me inside Chorus But I'm giving myself respect to hold on I'm giving myself respect to hold on x2 And I'm holding on I'm getting hungry, my spirit is grumbling to be free I'm fed up of your looking, now I'm gonna make you see That the gift of life is a gift of choice I'll not be your echo, I got to have my own voice Oh yes I have my own voice Chorus And I'm giving myself respect to hold on I'm giving myself respect to hold on x2 And I'm holding on repeat chorus Gotta keep holding on Don't let them beat you down.

All the things you do keep me loving you All things you do, I see your light come shining through Love in your eyes, I wanna bathe in your golden rays of light Pure and clear, I feel warm whenever you're near me You're my family and you will always be Brothers and sisters coming together as one All the things you do Keep me loving you Just the way you are Keep shining like a star I could die and come back again And I'd still choose you to be my friend You can do nothing wrong Cos I know you're just trying to get along All the things you do Keep me loving you Just the way you are Keep shining like a star Can't stop loving you (I'll be loving you) It's all I wanna do (I'll be loving you) Bathe in your love (I'll be loving you) Feel the warmth of your touch All the things you do Keep me loving you Just the way you are Keep shining like a star Keep shining like a star.

On The Way 05:18
lyrics
buy track
There's a baby who's crying, while her mother is lying In her own little world far away And the pain of rejection builds the need for affection Too crowded for loving to stay And all that we're wishing for Is to not hurt anymore And that help is somewhere along the way It's on the way, it's on the way yeah, it's on the way Oh' it's on the way, it's on the way, it's on the way There's a child who is fighting because reality's frightening Their defence just becomes their attack And their parent is leaving but it's themselves they're deceiving If they think they can make them come back And all that we're wishing for Is to not hurt anymore And that help is somewhere along the way It's on the way, it's on the way yeah, it's on the way Oh' it's on the way, it's on the way, it's on the way As long as we're living, you know we can't escape the pain It seems to come flying at us again and again and again And all we wanna do is reduce the effect But even though we're looking for a way We still haven't found it yet There's a feeling we're lacking And our lives are not cracking out to be what we wanted them to be But we're trapped in the prison of our own indecision And now it's time to break out and be free And all that we're wishing for Is to not hurt anymore And that help is somewhere along the way It's on the way, it's on the way yeah, it's on the way Oh' it's on the way, it's on the way, it's on the way I can feeling it coming now It's on the way, yeah

Really Doesn't Matter 04:13
lyrics

It really doesn't matter x2 It really doesn't matter at all You feel lost inside but you just don't why You're asking people to help you find what it is that you just can't find You try so hard to fit in, you don't know why you need to You feel like everything is wrong when the people see you You can't realise that the thing that you have is already there And the people you try to impress they know who you are and they don't care Cos they can see the light that's shining from inside of you And all you have to do is be yourself And that's all you have to do Pre Chorus It really doesn't matter if you're thin or if you're fatter If you're witty or you're pretty or you tend to get quite shitty We're all the same inside when you get down to nitty gritty So it really doesn't matter at all repeat pre chorus It really doesn't matter x3 At all Your life's not right and you're just looking for something more You think you know what it is but you forget each time you walk out that door And all the time, you're trying hard to communicate But something's wrong, something's wrong and you can't isolate it And the reason why you can't understand that we're all the same Is because you can't look at yourself and know that you are not to blame You know there's something inside that you just haven't found But you don't need to look so hard because it's all around Pre Chorus It really doesn't matter if you're thin or if you're fatter If you're witty or you're pretty or you tend to get quite shitty We're all the same inside when you get down to nitty gritty So it really doesn't matter at all repeat pre chorus It really doesn't matter x3 At all It doesn't matter at all.

One Last Look 03:46
lyrics
buy track
The problem's there for you to face it Realise the truth and then embrace it To find the root you gotta trace it From the tip working all the way down Within the messy state of pure confusion Realise it's only self delusion When you find it, put it in seclusion And take a look walking all the way round The lies that you insist on telling, cover up the nut that you'll be shelling When you've shed the skin no point in dwelling It's time to live the truth that you have found And take one last look, before you turn around and walk away Gotta leave it all behind to save the day You can take one last look and turn around and never look again Moving forward, out of sight and round the bend Cos there's a train at the station, it's been waiting And now it's time to move on As for changing, go ahead and do it Or there's no point in putting yourself through it The problem waits for you to renew it Ready slip back on into your life There's be 4th and 3rd and 2nd chances But you'll go stale unless your life advances What's the point of taking second glances When you can cut the chord with a swoop of a knife And take one last look, before you turn around and walk away Gotta leave it all behind to save the day You can take one last look and turn around and never look again Move forward, out of sight and round the bend Cos there's a train at the station, it's been waiting And now it's time to move on One last look to ease your mind Then turn around and leave it all behind You can do it, you can make it But now is the time You can take One last look, before you turn around and walk away Gotta leave it all behind to save the day You can take one last look and turn around and never look again Move forward, out of sight and round the bend Cos there's a train at the station, it's been waiting And now it's time to move on

Somewhere out there, there's someone just like me They're making the same mistakes on the way to where they wanna be They're tripping on the same hole, they're another lost soul In the fight against their loneliness, love is their goal Somewhere out there, there's someone alone in a room And don't you worry babe, I;m gonna get here soon I'll be right there like a shot when I find out where you are I'm on my way now baby so don't you go far I'm gonna find you, whatever I do I'm gonna find you, even if it takes a lifetime to I'm gonna find you, what ever I do Cos somewhere there's somebody looking for someone just like me Somewhere out there, there's someone looking out for me Through the sea of faces we'll see each other clearly We'll be just like old friends and there'll be no need to say so Cos one exchange of glances and somehow we'll know I'm gonna find you, whatever I do I'm gonna find you, even if it takes a lifetime to I'm gonna find you, what ever I do Cos somewhere there's somebody looking for someone just like me I'm gonna find you, whatever I do I'm gonna find you, I'll search the whole universe if I have to I'm gonna find you, what ever I do Cos somewhere there's somebody looking for someone just like me

All We Really Want 04:31
lyrics

If there's a way in this world that we all can live as one together Then we sure got to have a go Or we'll never know if life could be better Life could be better If there's a way for us to see that we are all part of the same family Maybe then we would understand no-one ever plans to be hurtful They're just trying to help themselves Who could really be to blame when intrinsically we are the same We were born with open hearts and we're just trying to play the game All we really want, all we ever want is love If there's a way to see the truth instead of seeing just what we want to see Maybe then we could compromise and then realise all that we could be We could realise all that we could be Who could really be to blame when intrinsically we are the same Were born with open hearts and we're just trying to play the game All we really want, all we ever is someone to hold us and not to control us All we really want, al we ever is love. Who could really be to blame when intrinsically we are the same Were born with open hearts and we're just trying to play the game All we really want, all we ever is someone there to hold our hands And show us they really do understand All we really want, all we ever want is love.

My God 03:56

Wake up in the morning, lying in my bed Take a breath, turn my head Open my eyes so slowly, look to the left I can hear the sound of your breath And it makes me feel warm I'm ready to take life on 'Cos with you here, everything's possible We can reach the unreachable You and I we're unbeatable My God, I think I'm in love Look in the mirror, what do I see My reflection, gazing right back at me I could look at the zits and the spots I've got Or I could smile and say what a lot I've got And it's a question of what you see And how I choose to look at what's in front of me 'Cos with you here, everything's possible We can reach the unreachable You and I we're unbeatable My God, I think I'm in love I look out my window, what do I see The sun is shining down on me It's a blue sky, there's people out to play Oh my God, it's a beautiful day And to know that you are there We got so much, so much to share 'Cos with you here, everything's possible We can reach the unreachable You and I we're unbeatable My God, I think I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

Dreams Come True 05:16
lyrics
buy track
We've started on the road that we've been travelling on We wanted to achieve our dreams and not be wrong So we stepped into the dark to come out into the light To realise our fantasies turned into realities And prove that dreaming can be right I believe that dreams come true I believe in fairy tales, I believe you We can make it through the storm Hold my hand, we'll keep stumbling on And really live our lives as dreamers do And though we struggle on through the wilderness And everything we know and love is put to the test And the hands reach out to hold us back But we will not fear, we will face attack The terror must be faced each time, we've started to the finish line With love there's no mountain we can't climb I believe that dreams come true I believe in fairy tales, I believe you We can make it through the storm Hold my hand, we'll keep stumbling on And really live our lives as dreamers do We can make our dreams come true as we sail on, sail on into the blue We can make our dreams come true We can do anything, anything, anything we want to I believe that dreams come true I believe in fairy tales, I believe you Hold on, we can make it, hold on we can make it And really live our lives (I believe) Really live our lives, we can really live our lives as dreamers do We can make our dreams come true As we sail on, sail on into the blue (We can make it through the storm) We can make our dreams come true, we can do anything, live our lives Really live our lives, we can really live our lives as dreamers do We can make our dreams come true We can do anything, anything we want to do (We can make it hold my hand) Hold on we can make it, hold on we can make it And really live our lives as dreamers do We can make our dreams come true

about

This isn't exactly an album, it's a collection of songs in various stages of production that I realised may never be released unless I took them off my hard drive and burned to CD and shared.
It was 2004 and I was working with Nic Askew as a kind of coach and he was working with a group of school children at Emmanuel School in London for the Young Enterprise Scheme, he suggested to them that they start a business called NO Limit and launch independent artists, being me. They funded the burning of 1000 CDs and the 'album' did actually get licensed and released in Japan by Loop Sounds in 2006.
Through the small scale sharing, the songs have touched many lives, including those touched with depression, drug addiction and harsh illnesses and I'm finally uploading it to digital.
