Open Mic Night Lyrics - August 28, 2024

“Beautiful Things” - By Benson Boone

For a while there, it was rough
But lately, I've been doin' better
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
And I see my family every month
I found a girl my parents love
She'll come and stay the night, and I think I might have it all
And I thank God every day
For the girl He sent my way
But I know the things He gives me, He can take away
And I hold you every night
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no man as terrified as the man who stands to lose you

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I hope I don't losе you
Mm, please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
Thеse beautiful things that I've got

[Chorus]
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh, God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ooh
Please don't take

[Verse 2]
I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane
It's been a while, but I'm finding my faith
If everything's good and it's great, why do I sit and wait 'til it's gone?
Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enough
I've got peace and I've got love
But I'm up at night thinkin' I just might lose it all

[Chorus]
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ooh

[Outro]
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
I need
These beautiful things that I've got

“As You Need” - By Alex Aiono

Do you remember the night we met?
All of the things I said, I still mean them
You told me you were afraid of this
He broke your heart and dipped, I won't be him

It's impossible for me to let you go
Knowing everything that I know
So tell me I won't but I'm not gonna go until you believe it
Girl, I promise you're gonna see

If you need time, I won't waste it
If you need space, girl, I'll be patient
If you need love, I got that for you
If you need me, I'm at your door
If you need time, if you need space
If you need love or if you need me
Take as much as you need, oh-oh
Take as much as you need, oh-oh

I can see in your eyes
What you're feeling inside
And it's so brand new, love
I know it's scary to fall
But I'm here for it all
So it's not just you, no

It's impossible for me to let you go
Knowing everything that I know
So you can put up your walls but I'm not gonna walk
Until you break through 'em
Girl, I promise you're gonna see, oh
There's no strings attached to me

If you need time, I won't waste it
If you need space, then, I'll be patient
If you need love, I got that for you
If you need me, I'm at your door

If you need time, I won't waste it
If you need space, girl, I'll be patient
If you need love, I got that for you
If you need me, I'm at your door
If you need time, if you need space
If you need love or if you need me (if you need trust)
Take as much as you need, oh-oh

I got trust, if we got nothing, we got us
And I'm here for as long as you need, no
Take as much as you need, oh-oh
Take as much as you need
Take as much as you need, oh-oh

“Waving Through a Window” - From “Dear Evan Hansen”

I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me

Give them no reason to stare
No slippin' up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?

We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window, oh
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? (Ooh)

Is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

“Symptom of Being Human” - By Shinedown

I can still remember me and Miss November Rain
Beautiful and strange
Always so inclined, coloring outside the lines
Yeah, you were never on time

You've always been slightly awkward, kinda weird
Upside down and not all here
What's a-wrong with me and you is crystal clear

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong
And the house is on fire and there's no alarm
And the walls are melting too
How about you?
I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all
'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball
And my friends are comin' too
How about you?
Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human

Unpack all your baggage
Hide it in the attic, where
You hope it disappears
This all seems so familiar
But it doesn't feel like home
It's just another unknown

You've always been slightly awkward, kinda weird
Upside down and not all here
Right a wrong, it's all so crystal clear

We're all just passing through
Passengers on a ship of fools
We're all just passing through
Passengers on a ship of fools

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong
And the house is on fire and there's no alarm
And the walls are melting too
How about you?
I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all
'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball
And my friends are comin' too
On a ship of fools
Don't worry, it's all just a symptom
Of being human

“I Believe I Can Fly” - By R. Kelly

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly (woo)

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me

If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly (woo!)

Hey, 'cause I believe in you
Oh

If I can see it (woo!), then I can do it (I can do it)
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it (hey)

I believe I can fly (woo!)
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly (I can fly)
I believe I can fly (I can fly)
I believe I can fly (I can fly)

If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly, I can fly)
Woo (I can fly)
Hm-mm... fly, fly, fly

“Pray for Me” - by Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd

I'm always ready for a war again (a war again)
Go down that road again (that road again)
It's all the same (it's all the same)
I'm always ready to take a life again
You know I'll ride again
It's all the same (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Tell me who's gon' save me from myself
When this life is all I know
Tell me who's gon' save me from this hell
Without you, I'm all alone

Who gon' pray for me? (Who gon' pray for me?)
Take my pain for me? (Take my pain for me?)
Save my soul for me? (Save my soul for me?)
'Cause I'm alone, you see (I'm alone, you see)
If I'm gon' die for you (if I'm gon' die for you)
If I'm gon' kill for you (if I'm gon' kill for you)
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

I fight the world, I fight you, I fight myself
I fight God, just tell me how many burdens left
I fight pain and hurricanes, today I wept
I'm tryna fight back tears, flood on my doorsteps
Life a livin' hell, puddles of blood in the streets
Shooters on top of the building, government aid ain't relief
Earthquake, the body drop, the ground breaks
The poor run with smoke lungs and Scarface
Who need a hero? (Hero)
You need a hero, look in the mirror, there go your hero
Who on the front lines at ground zero? (Hero)
My heart don't skip a beat, even when hard times bumps the needle
Mass destruction and mass corruption
The souls of sufferin' men
Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is comin'
It's all prophecy and if I gotta be sacrificed for the greater good
Then that's what it gotta be

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Just in case my faith go
I live by my own law
I live by my own law
I live by my own
Just in case my faith go
I live by my own law
I live by my own law
I live by my own

“Don’t Hold Your Breath” - by Nicole Scherzinger

You can't touch me now
There's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath

I was under your spell for such a long time
Couldn't break the chains
You played with my heart
Tore me apart with all your lies and games
It took all the strength I had
But I crawled up on my feet again
Now you're trying to lure me back
But no those days are gone my friend
I loved you so much then I thought
Someday that you could change
But all you brought me was a heart full of pain

You can't touch me now
There's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
Don't hold your breath

I was worried about you
But you never cared about me none
You took my money
And I knew that you you could kill someone
I gave you everything but nothing was ever enough
You were always jealous over such crazy stuff

Move on (move on)
Don't look back (don't look back)
I jumped off a train running off the tracks
Your day is gone (your day is gone)
Face the facts (face the facts)
A bad movie ends and the screen fades to black

What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back

You can't touch me now
There's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath

Ooh

Original Song - Collet

Boy, what a tough summer, so much trouble times, worst summer ever.

I've dealt with racism and grandma's death, almost ended my own life, everyday pain.

Gone dissolutional, been hysterical, could not lie down or remember, without twitching and crying.

Not to mention my talent show, every single thing went wrong, broke my heart.

I failed to make it special, share my message and honor my grandma.

The performers, I say i'm sorry and my team, disappointed me big time, to everyone I say thank u.

But now I'm gladful, gladful I'm still alive. I'm gladful, because of u I thrive.

(Freestyle) ooh I'm gladful, I have life thanks all my friends and family.

“Unbreakable” - By Iolanta

(Verse 1)

Silently, spreading like a fire,

From your flames, I rise again.

I rise, high above,

The deepest, darkest part of night.

All there is, is love.

(Pre-Chorus)

Never giving up, in this lifetime.

Never bowing down, in my armor.

Never turn away, eye to eye,

Now you will fall.

But I'm unbreakable.

(Chorus)

Won't break me down, can't take me down.

I'm unbreakable.

You will fall, but I'm unbreakable.

(Verse 2)

Face to face, behind the iron curtain.

All that's left, is blood.

Compromise.

This time, that is not enough.

I will fight, with love.
