Appendix: Original Song Lyrics

"Try Everything"

performed by Shakira

Oh oh oh oh oh / Oh oh oh oh oh /Oh oh oh oh oh / Oh oh oh oh oh / I messed up tonight / I lost another fight / Lost to myself but I'll just start again / I keep falling down / I keep on hitting the ground / But I always get up now to see what's next / Birds don't just fly / They fall down and get up / Nobody learns without getting it wrong / I won't give up, no, I won't give in / Till I reach the end and then I'll start again / No, I won't leave / I want to try everything / I want to try even though I could fail / I won't give up, no, I won't give in / Till I reach the end and then I'll start again / No, I won't leave / I want to try everything / I want to try even though I could fail / Oh oh oh oh oh / Try everything / Oh oh oh oh oh / Try everything / Oh oh oh oh oh / Try everything / Oh oh oh oh oh / Look how far you've come / You filled your heart with love / Baby, you've done enough / Take a deep breath / Don't beat yourself up / No need to run so fast / Sometimes we come last / But we did our best / I'll keep on making those new mistakes / I'll keep on making them every day / Those new mistakes / Oh oh oh oh oh / Try everything / Oh oh oh oh oh / Try everything / Oh oh oh oh oh / Try everything / Oh oh oh oh oh / Try everything...

"Speak Out"

by Drake Redwing

There once was a place that seemed like heaven on earth / And they flocked there by the millions / But over time it became more important than the place of their birth / Oh, how the mighty have fallen / The world now turns towards its fear / And now the war has already been lost / Fear, hatred and vengeance have come here / And they care not at all for the cost / When you see you've let yourselves all go / To the hatred in your heart / Consequences will come back to haunt, you know / But reforms all begin at the start / I'm gonna speak out, speak out / Fight for the weak ones / Reach out, reach out / To those who hate us / Stand up, stand up / Stand up for freedom / Speak out, speak out / To rebuild this kingdom / Rebuild this kingdom... / When you first put walls around us / You already had killed us all / Put away your hate and anger / And come and watch them fall / Loving our neighbor is what we're called to do / But you can't because you won't let go / If you don't forgive their actions / You won't be forgiven, you know / (Gazelle): / Judging by generalization only corrupts you inside / The anger you have generated is only magnified / By your fear and bitterness and anger and shame / All you keep looking for is someone else to blame / For all your actions and all your sins / But I ask you now, let forgiveness win / This war of hate vs. love has only just begun / I ask you now, decide which side you are on

"My Pride"

by Drake Redwing

Are we set? All right. (deep breath) Symba, you'll be great.

When my song first came alive / I stood on stage with my message of hope / She was looking at me with those beautiful eyes / And she lifted a weight from my heart and my soul / She said once that she had lost everything / Said she had stopped believing / But I believe in redeeming / And I gotta speak my mind / Oh, when I saw her face / For the very first time / There was no doubt at all in my mind (oh no) / Her character is flawless / Despite a world that is lawless / I get nervous when she smiles / But I know that she'll go miles / And my anxiety dies and my heart flies / And she floors me with her deep brown eyes / She is my pride, my pride, my only pride / In every passing day / My pride, my pride, oh, my pride / In every little way / I love her smile, I love her mind / A girl like her no one can find / Oh, she is my pride / I saw her on the stage / And my breath was stolen away / Said she came from where she had once seen oh-so-much better days / The Quarter out west she had let go / But she's pleased to know / That preds aren't all that some may show / So I gotta speak my mind / After seeing this girl from a place nobody knew / And hearing all that she has been through / I thought my heart might die / As I saw her guiltily cry / But I know now that she is true / And that her honesty is nothing new / And then we danced out on the floor / Oh, dear God, what else could I ask for? / A symphony starts with one little note / The same with love, for it isn't a joke / You're my pride, I know it now / And you keep me goin' when I don't know how / Oh, my pride, mí corázon / You once told me you lost your home / But you know now that you're not by yourself / And we've got a love you know cannot be withheld / When one day this is all said and done / Then at last, we'll know that we have won / And in that place I'm not willing to share / With anyone who might take your place there / You are my pride, my pride, my only pride / In every passing day / My pride, my pride, oh, my pride / In every little way / I love your smile, I love your mind / A girl like you no one can find / Oh, you are my pride

Yes, Gazzy. You are my pride.

"Escape My Past"

by Drake Redwing

So many scars and so many bruises / All I can think of is my pain / The constant reminder of these wounds is / So much more than I can bear / I lost my home, I lost my love / I lost everything I keep thinkin' of / Help me now / Someone help me now / Well, I know that you know / I've left the way I used to go / I've changed till the end / But that's not enough for them / This world all around me / Tries to surround me / With all of their hate / They'll give me my fate / I've got nowhere to run to / Help me not to doubt you / To help me escape my past / (Owl City): / Deep, dark secrets deep inside of me / Every kind of pain and every kind of grief / My deeds are all exposed and now everyone knows / I can't even imagine what they might see / Murderer, traitor, slanderer, fraud / Don't they know that we are all flawed? / But it doesn't matter much now / Anger kept me blind to reality / Now that anger is all the world can see / Oh, help me now / Someone help me now / So many scars and so many bruises / All I can think of is my pain / When it looks like I lost my fight / Don't leave me here to die / You hold me in the light / Don't leave me here to die / No, don't leave me here to die! / Help me escape my past...

"Home"

by Drake Redwing

Your body's tired / Your soul is shot / Your mind has come undone / All you want to do right now / Is to know just how / To see your special someone / You're weary; out of strength; out of time / So you'd better stop saving face / The work is done, the day is won / And you've got a special place / You've traveled across the face of the earth / But now all you long for is the place of your birth / And the ones you love and a place to rest / Oh, a place to rest... / The roads will take you far away / The seas will make you roam / The sun beats down on your weary head / But you long to head for the place that you call home / A special place where you embrace / The loved ones that you know / No matter where you wander / Never forget the place / That you call home / Oh-oh-oh / Never forget the place / That you call home / Your journey was long / And the pain was real / And the loss you feel is true / Your loving spouse's face / And your child's warm embrace / Is all you want to return to / A home is not what's covered up / Or feelings or geography / A home is where a family can love / And that is what you will see / And you've got a real home here / They've been waiting for you for years / Never forget the place / That you call home....
