Wicked (Broadway Musical) – Dancing Through Life
I love this track. Especially Norbert Leo Butz version. We’re taking a bus to Singapore to watch Wicked right now. We can’t wait! Will update another good song when the Broadway Musical starts for us to watch! (I’ll schedule it)
Have a good weekend folks!
Dancing through life
skimming the surface
gliding where turf is smooth
life’s more painless
for the brainless
why think too hard?
when it’s so soothing
dancing through life
no need to tough it
when you can sluff it off as i do
nothing matters
but knowing nothing matters
it’s just life
so keep dancing through…
the trouble with schools is
they always try to teach the wrong
lesson
believe me, i’ve been kicked out
of enough of them to know
they want you to become less callow
less shallow
but i say: “why invite stress in?”
stop studying strife
and learn to life “the unexamined life”
Dancing through life
skimming the surface
gliding where turf is smooth
life’s more painless
for the brainless
why think too hard?
when it’s so soothing
dancing through life
no need to tough it
when you can sluff it off as i do
nothing matters
but knowing nothing matters
it’s just life
so keep dancing through…
dancing through life
swaying and sweeping
and always keeping cool
life is fraughtless
when you’re thoughtless
those who don’t try
never look foolish
dancing through life
mindless and careless
make sure your where less
trouble is rife
woes are fleeting
blows are glancing
when you’re dancing
through life…
(Spoken)
so-whats the most swankified place in town?
Galinda:
(Spoken)
that would be the Ozdust Ballroom
Fiyero:
(Spoken)
sounds perfect.
(Sung)

if that someone were
to go invite her…
Boq:
(Spoken)

Nessarose:

Nessarose:
(Spoken)
Oh, Boq, I know why.
Boq:
(Spoken)
You do?
Nessarose:

and you felt sorry for me
well- isn’t that right?
Boq:
(Spoken)

All:
Dancing through life
down at the ozdust
if only because dust
is what we come to
and the strange thing:
your life could end up changing
whild your dancing
through!

Nicki Minaj ft. Rihanna – Fly
I’m in a new job today. So I thought this track would be apt. =D
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly
[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
I wish today it will rain all day
Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away
Trying to forgive you for abandoning me
Praying but I think I’m still an angel away
Angel away, yeah strange in a way
Maybe that is why I chase strangers away
They got their guns out aiming at me
But I become near when they aiming at me
Me, me, me against them
Me against enemies, me against friends
Somehow they both seem to become one
A sea full of sharks and they all see blood
They start coming and I start rising
Must be surprising, I’m just summising
Win, thrive, soar, higher, higher, higher
More fire
[Chorus: Rihanna]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly
[Verse 2: Nicki Minaj]
Everybody wanna try to box me in
Suffocating everytime it locks me in
Paint they own pictures than they crop me in
But I will remain where the top begins
Cause I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl that can every be defined
I am not fly, I am levitation
I represent an entire generation
I hear the criticism loud and clear
That is how I know that the time is near
So we become alive in a time of fear
And I ain’t got no motherfucking time to spare
Cry my eyes out for days upon days
Such a heavy burden placed upon me
But when you go hard your nay’s become yay’s
Yankee Stadium with Jay’s and Kanye’s
[Chorus: Rihanna]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly
[Bridge: Nicki Minaj]
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win
[Chorus: Rihanna]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

The Cataracs ft. Dev – Top Of The World
After checking out Far East Movement here in Malaysia, I’ve grown a high respect to tracks like this. The electronica sounds of LMFAO, Pitbull, David Guetta, Tiesto, Mike Posner and so on.
Today I’m in my last working day for a company and tomorrow starts a new. That’s why the lyrics below..
t-t-t-to the top of the worlddd
Tell me where you want to go (x4)
Where, you wanna, where you wanna go? (x4)
t-t-t-to the top of the worlddd
it’s the cataracs
Wont you take me on a ride
Tell me where you want to go
Tell me where you want to go
It’s the cataracs
Yo, Its that dancefloor – 808
She hit me like a 808
Have you all night, vodka straight
Bottles up, you and me
Me and you, on a trip
All night flight, girl lets dip
Lickin my lips im in the zone
And I cant really say what Im sippin on
But You taste good to me
Girls like you make history
Sure does sound like a hit to me
now che-e-e-ck out this beat
[CHORUS]
Now, you got it
you got it goin on, goin on, & on &on &on &on
Boy you know you get me high
Wont you take me on a ride
Tell me where u want to go
Tell me where u want to go
Im your bonnie, you’re my clyde
I’ll be your “ride or die”
Tell me where you want to go
Tell me where you want to go
t-t-t-to the top of the worlddd (x2)
your daddy must have been a drug dealer (why?)
cause you dope
you the bonnie to my clyde, Juliet and romeo
your daddy must have been a drug dealer (why?)
I don’t know, im just saying anything to get me up inside your throat
Is it workin?
Im just playin
Man this bottle got me sayin
I don’t ever wanna lose, lose ya right now
[CHORUS]
t-t-t-to the top of the worlddd
Tell me where you want to go (x4)
Where, you wanna, where you wanna go? (x4)
t-t-t-to the top of the worlddd
it’s the cataracs

Mariah Carey ft. Boyz II Men – One Sweet Day
Grandma, I never told you how much I appreciate you taking care of me and my family. Thank you so much.
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feelin’ and knowing you, hear me
It keeps me alive, aliveAnd I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
Eventually I’ll see you in HeavenSorry, I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it’s too late to hold you
‘Cause you’ve flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feelin’ and knowing you, hear me
It keeps me alive, alive
And I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
Eventually I’ll see you in Heaven
Darling, I never showed you
Assumed you’d always be there
I, I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared
I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
Picture a little scene from Heaven
Although, the sun will never shine the same
I’ll always look to a brighter day
Yeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray
And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
And I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
Sorry, I never told you
All I wanted to say

Johann Pachelbel – Canon in D Major
No lyrics today. Just had grandma’s wake. I know she’s at peace. So here I leave this track.

Elton John – Circle Of Life
Elton John has been one of the many voices in many heads for a long, long time. He has a voice that just echos in your head if you enjoy the tracks he play. In fact, my name came from Elton John’s track, “Daniel“. My mom’s very “creative”. Anyway..
My wife has been playing this a couple of times after today’s incident. I’ve been having a bad feeling this morning as I awoke, and I was right. My maternal grandma wasn’t feeling so well. Took her to the hospital and well, you probably know the rest.
RIP Grandma
We are always thinking of you. We love you.
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There’s more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be doneIn the Circle of Life
It’s the wheel of fortune
It’s the leap of faith
It’s the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life
And blinking, step into the sun
There’s more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
(Chorus)
In the Circle of Life
It’s the wheel of fortune
It’s the leap of faith
It’s the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
There’s far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps the great and small on the endless round
(Chorus repeats)
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life.

Christina Perri – A Thousand Years
Gotta love Christina Perri’s new lovely track. Much better than the pessimistic/hatred Jar of Hearts. (Despite it being quite an artistic track)
Today is my first anniversary with my wife. Just wanted to drop a quick note below as I did in Facebook.
A year it has been – a great start
It’s so unreal – almost life imitating artWhether any misguide, collide or denied
Thanks for always being by my sideCertainly quite a dream come true
To have found a life partner like you365 days together legally
Happy First Anniversary!
Heartbeats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehowOne step closer..
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand moreTime stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to thisOne step closer…
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away

Megan Nicole & Boyce Avenue – Skyscraper
Gotta love this track. I found Megan Nicole on YouTube after I listened to a track from Alex Goot featuring her. Boyce Avenue as usual, one of the best on YouTube. No disrespect to Demi Lovato, but I love this version.
I just had a great trip to Melaka for the weekend and the end of the trip were a little insightful (kinda like the contents of this track).
Cheers people! =D
Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching tear drops in my hands
Only silence, as it’s ending
Like we never had a chanceDo you have to make me feel like
So there’s nothing left of me?Go run, run, run
I’m gonna stay right here, watch you disappear
Yeah oh
Go run, run, run
Yeah, it’s a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up hereYou can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
Oh Oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Catching tear drops in my hands
Only silence, as it’s ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
So there’s nothing left of me?
[Chorus:]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
[Bridge:]
As the smoke clears, I awaken
And untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better
To watch me while I bleed?
All my windows still are broken
But I’m standing on my feet
[Chorus:]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
[Bridge:]
Go run, run, run
I’m gonna stay right here, watch you disappear
Yeah oh
Go run, run, run
Yeah, it’s a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here
[Chorus:]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
Oh Oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
(Like a skyscraper) huh huh huh
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

James Morrison – I Won’t Let You Go
Some encouraging track to make you feel much better. Heard this some time ago and felt it’s such a nice calm song.
If your sky is falling
Just take my hand and hold it
You don’t have to be alone, alone yeah
I won’t let you go
(Won’t let you go)
(Won’t let you go)
Take a little time to hold yourself
Take a little time to feel around before it’s gone
You won’t let go but still keep on falling down
Remember how you save me now from all of my wrongs
Yeah
If it’s love just feel it
And if this life will see it
This is no time to be alone, alone yeah
I won’t let you go
Say those words
Say those words like there’s nothing else
Close your eyes and you might believe
That there is some way out
Open up
Open up your heart to me now
Let it all come pouring out
There’s nothing I can’t take
If it’s love just feel it
And if this life will see it
This is no time to be alone, alone yeah
I won’t let you go
(Won’t let you go)
(Won’t let you go)
If your sky is falling
Just take my hand and hold it
You don’t have to be alone, alone yeah
I won’t let you go
(Won’t let you go)
(Won’t let you go)
And if you feel the fading of the light
And you’re too weak to carry on the fight
And all your friends that you care for have disappeared
I’ll be here not gone, forever holding on
If it’s love just feel it
And if this life will see it
This is no time to be alone, alone yeah
I won’t let you go
(Won’t let you go)
(Won’t let you go)
If your sky is falling
Just take my hand and hold it
You don’t have to be alone, alone yeah
I won’t let you go
(Won’t let you go)
(Won’t let you go)
I won’t let you go
I won’t let
I won’t let you go
No, I won’t let
I won’t let you go
I won’t let you go

Wicked (Broadway Musical) – For Good
Posted in Lyrics, Music Video, Personal Post, Song Comment tagged Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenoweth, Musical, Wicked at 7:00 pm by LynxLee
I’m limited:
Just look at me – I’m limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn’t do, Glinda
So now it’s up to you
(spoken) For both of us
(sung) Now it’s up to you:
GLINDA
I’ve heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true
But I know I’m who I am today
Because I knew you:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
ELPHABA
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You’ll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:
GLINDA
Because I knew you:
BOTHI have been changed for good
ELPHABA
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I’ve done you blame me for
GLINDA
But then, I guess we know
There’s blame to share
BOTH
And none of it seems to matter anymore
GLINDA ELPHABA
Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown
From orbit as it Off it’s mooring
Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a
Through the wood Bird in the wood
BOTH
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?
GLINDA
And because I knew you:
ELPHABA
Because I knew you:
BOTH
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.
