You can't tell me what I'm never gonna be You can't hold me down if I wanna be free Who said you're allowed to rain on my parade You can't tell me not to fly cause' I gotta Every time they put you down, you get up stronger Don't bring around the clouds to rain on my parade The stars could fall out of the sky but I keep standin' I can't be stopped, no we won't be shaken Hearts like a drum, beating not breaking We're never gonna stop And if it keeps raining We'll march until the sun comes out And say so long parade rain So long, so long, so long, parade rain So long, so long, so long, parade rain Anywhere you live there's negativity It's what you give; the negatives will never live with me Come and hear me shine so loud, right through the clouds The stars could fall out of the sky but I keep standin' I can't be stopped, no we won't be shaken Hearts like a drum, beating not breaking We're never gonna stop And if it keeps raining We'll march until the sun comes out And say so long parade rain So long, so long, so long, parade rain So long, so long, so long, parade rain Ain't no way we're puttin' out this fire Every jab, cut, burn, we burn brighter Ever heard somebody shine so loud And stand up so proud Right through these clouds Ain't no way we're puttin' out this fire Every jab, cut, burn, we burn brighter Ever heard somebody shine so loud I can't be stopped, no we won't be shaken Hearts like a drum, beating not breaking We're never gonna stop And if it keeps raining We'll march until the sun comes out And say so long parade rain. So long, so long, so long, parade rain So long, so long, so long, parade rain So long, so long, so long, parade rain So long, so long, so long, parade rain

I was born from love, and my poor mother worked the mines I was raised on the Good Book of Jesus 'Til I read between the lines Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again And I can still remember him with love light in his eyes But the light flickered out and parted As the sun began to rise Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again Never mind the forecast 'cause the sky has lost control 'Cause the fury and the broken thunders Come to match my ragin' soul And now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go I never wanted to go Mama, I never wanted to go

Songbird sings from the heart Each word can tear you apart I sing, you sing along You find your life in my song When you need the strength to carry on You've got me to turn to With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring They've helped you be strong now The song sets you free But who sings to me I'm all alone now Who sings for songbird Sometimes when I'm all alone I sing my saddest song Lonely and no one can see This time the song is for me I can touch your secret place inside And still you don't know me With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring You've learned to be strong now My song sets you free But who sings to me I'm all alone now Where is my songbird Where is my songbird Who sings his songs for me

Mother, you had me But I never had you I wanted you But you didn't want me So I, I just gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Father, you left me But I never left you I needed you You didn't need me So I, I just gotta tell you I gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Children, don't do What I have done I couldn't walk But I tried, I tried to run So I, I just gotta tell you I gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Mama, mama don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go
