It won't rain all the time,
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
Your tears won't fall forever.
from "The Crow" movie


Leave tomorrow till it comes,
sleep will ease your mind,
with the dawn you'll find problems
realized a different way,
then yesterday.

Leave tomorrow till it comes,
time is moving fast,
don't go pushing past endings
of the day were meant to last,
till yesterday.

Tangled dreams unfold and webs may disappear,
stories retold and cloudy thoughts will clear.

Leave tomorrow till it comes,
sleep will ease your mind,
with the dawn you'll find problems
realized a different way,
then yesterday.
from "Return of the King" animated TV movie

It's so easy not to try,
let the world go drifting by.
If you never say hello,
You won't have to say good-bye.

It's so easy not to try,
never stay around to cry.
Move along when trouble comes,
like a mindless butterfly.

For what good it is to love,
When the loving always ends.
Travel on the road that's straight,
Not the one with hills and bends.

It's so easy not to try,
let the world go drifting by.
If you never say hello,
you won't have to say good-bye.
from "Return of the King" animated TV movie
Roads go ever ever on,
to the lands beyond the sea,
on a white ship will I sail,
watching shadows part for me.

Leaving havens grey with rain,
now that years have slipped away,
leaving friends with gentle pain,
as they start another day.

Roads I traveled I must leave,
for I've turned the final bend,
weep not empty tears but grieve
as the road comes to an end.

It's so easy not to try,
let the world go drifting by.
If you never say hello,
you won't have to say good-bye.

Roads go ever ever on
Over rock and under tree
By caves where never sun has shone
By streams that never find the sea.

Over snow by winter's song
And through merry clouds of dew
Over grass and over stone
Under mountains in the moon.

Let go of the moment that life makes you hold.

from Return of the King" animated TV movie
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said
The chances the changes are all yours to make
the mold of your life is in your hands to break.

The greatest adventure is there if your bold
Let go of the moment that life makes you hold
To measure the meaning can make you delay
It's time you stop thinking and wasting the day.

The man's who's a dreamer and never takes seed
Who thinks of a world as just make believe
Will never know passions will never know pain
Who sits by a window will one day see rain.

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said
The chances the changes are all yours to make
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

from "The Hobbit" animated TV movie
Flying Dreams

Dream by night
Wish by day
Love begins this way
Loving starts when open hearts
Touch and stay.

Sleep for now
Dreaming sound
Lovers lives are bland
Future songs and flying dreams
Hand in hand.

Love it seems
May fly in dreams
So hearts could soar,
Heaven send
These wings were meant
To prove once more,
That love is the key,
Love is the key.

You and I
Touch the sky
The eagle and the dove
Nightingale
We keep our sails
filled with love.

Love it seems may fly in dreams
To bring you home to me.

Love it seems
May fly in dreams
So hearts could soar
Heaven send
These wings were meant
To prove once more
That love is the key.

You and I
Touch the sky
The eagle and the dove
Nightingales
We keep our sails
Filled with love.

Ever strong our future song
To sing it must be free
Every part is form the heart
And love is still the key.

Love it seems may fly in dreams
To bring you home to me.

from "The Secret of NIMH" movie
The Change
One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

This heart
Still believes
That love and mercy still exist
While all the hatreds rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know
Never changes me

What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me.
