Heal the World

There will always be heartache
There will always be pain
But by living in silence
You've no joy to gain


Speak up now
tell your story to the world
it doesn't matter
if you're a boy or girl


If we speak up
we can break the silence
we can heal the world
if we can stop the violence


Do not be afraid
There are others too
And we will walk together
hand in hand with you


Your voice will rise with many
To open the people's eyes
so lift up your voice
and scream your story to the sky


If we speak up
we can break the silence
we can heal the world
if we can stop the violence


There are too many
Walking with a wounded heart
and that will never change
unless the speaking starts


Once you tell your story
your healing can begin
and in telling your story
you'll surely find a friend


who has been in your place
who understands the way you feel
and only by speaking out
can you truly heal


If we speak up
we can break the silence
we can heal the world
if we can stop the violence

Save Me Tonight

stars are falling
voices calling
wind is singing
chimes are ringing


graveyard shift begins again
another day is done
I look up and say hello moon
where has gone the sun


bats in the belfry
cobwebs on stairs
echoes of silence
of blank empty cares


save me now
save me tonight
save me forever
save me from me


voices in silence
scream out in pain
deafening silence
ocean eyes of rain


tiptoe so loudly
in an empty, crowded room
no one shall leave me
we're all fated to doom
another bright night
another dark day
one more final start
to listen to what you don't say


save me now
save me tonight
save me forever
save me from me

Rescue Our Tomorrow

When today is all you have
for tomorrow is so far away
I'll hold out my hand for you
we'll save each other today


when it seems that life is empty
and there's nothing left to say
why not reach out for me
and ask for help today


there is no shame
in saying today is not for me
ask the world to rescue your tomorrow
only the truth shall set you free


in silence you will suffer
speak out to kill the pain
you'll find that you are not alone
you have so much left to gain


so reach out for someone's hand
you'll be surprised to find we care
we'll rescue your tomorrow
but first you have to share


we can't rescue your tomorrow
if you don't speak out today
I know you think it's too hard
to put to words all you have to say


there is nothing wrong
with feeling the way you do
and we'll rescue your tomorrow
we're all here to help save you


won't you please rescue my tomorrow
I need help all the time
and in reaching out for help
you also offer a lifeline


because we'll all come together
one survivor at a time
until we stand forever in
a circle of the healing kind
