It's all an illusion

There's too much confusion

Down, down, down in your heart

Find, find, find the secret

Turn, turn, turn your head around

Baby we can do it

Do you believe in love at first sight?

It's an illusion, I don't care.

Too much confusion, come on over here.

Can we get together?

I really, I really wanna be with you.

Come on, check it out with me!

I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too.

I searched, I searched, I searched my whole life

To find, find, find the secret.

But all I did was open up my eyes.

we can do it all right

Do you believe that we can change the future?

Do you believe I can make you feel better?

Can we get together?

I really, I really wanna be with you.

Come on, check it out with me!

I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too

It's all an illusion

There's too much confusion?

I'll make you feel better

If it's bitter at the start,

Then it's sweeter in the end.

Can we get together...

If it's bitter at the start
Then it's sweeter in the end.

All right, London?

Are you ready to ride with me?

* Like A Virgin

I made it through the wilderness

Somehow I made it through

Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you

? ???????? ?? ???

I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue

But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel

Shiny and new?

Like A Virgin

Touched for the very first time

Like A Virgin

When your heart beats

Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy

My fear is fading fast

Been saving it all for you

'Cause only love can last

You're so fine and you're mine

Make me strong,
yeah you make me bold

Oh your love thawed out

Yeah, your love thawed out

What was scared and cold

Feels so good inside

Lafies and Gentlemen!

Thank you for comming to
a Show

The Night is young...

And The Show...

Is just begun...

* Jump

I havn't got much time to waste
It's time to make my way

I'm not afraid of what I'll face
But I'm afraid to stay

I'm going down my road
and I can make it alone

I'll work and I'll fight till
I find a place of my own

Are you ready to jump
Get ready to jump

Don't ever look back oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump

Just take my hand
get ready to jump

We learned out lesson from the
start, my sisters and me

The only thing you can depend on
Is your family

Life's gonna drop you down
like a limb from a tree

It sways and it swings and it
bends until it makes you see

I'll work and I'll fight till
I find a place of my own

It sways and it swings and it
bends until you make it your own
I can make it alone

* Confessions

I have a tale to tell?

I was three feet from the floor,
gasping for air,

trying to release my
father?s hands from my throat.

I looked into his eyes and wondered

if my feet would ever touch the floor again.

Have you ever been hit so hard that it sends

your body flying across the room?

We all fall to the floor at some point.

It?s how you pick yourself up,
that?s the real challenge.

Isn?t it?

I?ve always lived in my own world.

And i dance to escape my troubles.

I?ve learned that there?s
light even in the darkest places.

I can?t blame my father for anything.

You can?t rely on other
people to make you happy.

But i know deep down inside,

he loved me.

There was a time

i suffered so much i
wanted to get it out of me.

I would cut my arms,

not to kill myself.

I don?t want to die.

I know i am lucky to be on this earth.

I did it so the physical pain

would calm the pain that
was eating me inside.

Nothing was erased.

I leave with my past tucked away

deep inside of me.

It comes out
as an explosion and

it invades me.

I believe we are messengers on Earth.

I believe in angels.

I am blessed by God to tell myself

I suffered that much to
become who i am today.

Now,you have to realize,

not only do i have a family,

but now i have a whole hood,

and that?s power.

But i ain?t no grimey-ass nigga.

I was never out to kill anybody.

Especially when i made
that decision to gang-bang.

I just wanted to fit in.

But one day,i was forced to do something

that made me open my eyes.

And i realized that this shit ain?t no game.

One of the homies got popped

and i was pressured into
doing my first drive-by.

It was kinda fucked up,

the way they tried to set me up.

Me and my bro,we was headed back
to the eight block.

Some homies rolled up
and they asked us to go somewhere.

We pulled up to the corner
then he placed a chunky-ass gun in my ride.

He said,
You know what to do with it.

It?s time to get poppin? for the hood.

But i wasn?t out to kill anybody.

* Live to Tell

I have a tale to tell

Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well

I was not ready for the fall

Too blind to see the writing on the wall

A man can tell a thousand lies

I?ve learned my lesson well

Hope I live to tell

The secret I have learned, ?till then

It will burn inside of me

I know where beauty lives

I?ve seen it once, I know the warm she gives

The light that you could never see

It shines inside, you
can?t take that from me

A man can tell a thousand lies

I?ve learned my lesson well

Hope I live to tell

The secret I have learned, ?till then

It will burn inside of me

The truth is never far behind

You kept it hidden well

If I live to tell

The secret I knew then

Will I ever have the chance again

In Africa 12.000.000 children
are orphaned by AIDS

If I ran away,
I?d never have the strength

To go very far

How would they hear
the beating of my heart

Will it grow cold

The secret that I hide, will I grow old

How will they hear

When will they learn

How will they know

For Iwas hungry and you
gave me food

I was naked and you
gave me clothing

I was sick and you took
care for me

And God replied,

'Whatever you did for one of
the least of my brothers...

...you did it to me'
Matthew 25:35

* Forbidden Love

Just one kiss on my lips

Was all it took to seal the future

Just one look from your eyes

Was like a certain kind of torture

Once upon a time

There was a boy and there was a girl

Just one touch from your hands

Was all it took to make me falter

Forbidden love

Are we supposed to be together

Forbidden love,

forbidden love

We sealed our destiny forever

Forbidden love,

forbidden love

Just one smile on your face

Was all it took to change my fortune

Just one word from your mouth

Was all I needed to be certain

Once upon a time

There was a boy and there was a girl

Hearts that intertwine

They lived in a different kind of world

Forbidden love

Are we supposed to be together

Forbidden love,

forbidden love

Forbidden love

We sealed our destiny forever

Forbidden love,

forbidden love

Just one kiss

Just one touch

Just one look

Forbidden love

Are we supposed to be together

Forbidden love,

forbidden love

Forbidden love

We sealed our destiny forever

Forbidden love,

forbidden love

Just one kiss, Just one touch,
Just one look

* Isaac

Im nin'alu

Dal thae na di vim

Dal thae na di vim

Dal thae ma rom

Im nin'alu

Im nin'aaalu

Staring up into the heavens

In this hell that binds your hands

Will you sacrifice your comfort?

Make your way in a foreign land?

Wrestle with your darkness

Angels call your name

Can you hear what they're saying?

Will you ever be the same?

Remember, remember, never forget

All of your life has all been a test

You will find a gate that's open

Even though your spirit's broken

Open up your heart

And cause my lips to speak

Bring the heaven and the stars

Down to Earth for me

Wrestle with your darkness

Angels call your name

Can you hear what they are saying?

Will you ever be the same?

* Sorry

I'm Sorry

So Sorry

I'm Sorry

Please Forgive Me

[Je suis desole]

[Lo siento]

[Perd?name]

...

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say you're sorry

I've heard it all before

And I can take care of myself

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say 'forgive me'

I've sing it all before

And I can't take it anymore

You're not half the man you think you are

Save your words because you've gone too far

I've listened to your lies
and all your stories

You're not half the man you'd like to be

Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap

There's more important
things than hearing you speak

Mistake me cause I made it so convenient

Don't explain yourself, you'll never see

The World is whole of people,

Who talk and talk,

But how many others,
want to work?

*Like It Or Not

You can call me a sinner

Or you can call me a saint

Celebrate me for who I am

Dislike me for what I ain?t

Put me up on a pedestal

Or drag me down in the dirt

Sticks and stones will break my bones

But your names will never hurt

I?ll be the garden, you?ll be the snake

All of my fruit is yours to take

Better the devil that you know

Your love for me will grow

Because

This is who I am

You can like it or not

You can love me or leave me

?Cause I?m never gonna stop

No no

You know

Cleopatra had her way

Matahari too

Whether they were good or bad

Is strictly up to you

Life is a paradox

And it doesn?t make much sense

Can?t have the 'femme'
without the 'fatale'

Please don?t take offense

Don?t let the fruit rot under the vine

Fill up your cup and let?s drink the wine

Better the devil that you know

Your love for me will grow

Because

This is who I am

You can like it or not

You can love me or leave me

?Cause I?m never gonna stop

No no

You know

I?ll be the garden, you?ll be the snake

All of my fruit is yours to take

Better the devil that you know

Your love for me will grow

Because

* Sorry Video Reprise

Speak

Don?t say forgive me

Don?t say you are sorry

I can?t take it anymore

Can?t take it

I?ve listen to tour lies,

and I, and I can?t take it anymore

Don?t say forgive me

Don?t say you?re sorry

and I, and I I?ve hear it all before

Don?t talk

Don?t speak...

Is Anyone Listening?

* I Love New York

I don?t like cities, but I like New York

Other places make me feel like a dork

Los Angeles is for people who sleep

Paris and London, baby you can keep

[Baby you can keep]

Other cities always make me mad

Other places always make me sad

No other city ever made me glad

Except New York

[I love New York]

If you don?t like my attitude,
then you can ?F? off

Just go to Texas,
and you can suck, jerk push's dick

New York is not for little
pussies who scream

If you can?t stand the
heat then get off my street

[Get off my street]

Other cities always make me mad

Other places always make me sad

No other city ever made me glad

Except New York

I love New York

* Ray of Light

Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder

Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun

She?s got herself a universe gone quickly

For the call of thunder
threatens everyone

[And I feel like I just got home]

Faster than the speeding light she?s flying

Trying to remember where it all began
