Track Name: Rockstar
There's a girl in the backyard bangin' on her drum
Sittin' in a junk pile laughing at the sun
Singin' "ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"

There's a boy in the backseat singin' to the song
Playin' on the radio, knowing he's the one
Singin' "ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"

Singin' "ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar!"

There's a girl in the tree top looking at the stars
Waiting for a touchdown comin' in from Mars
Thinkin' "is there anybody out there?"

There's a boy thinking of her playin' his guitar
Searching for the answer buried in his heart
Singin' "ah, ha ha, is there anybody out there?"

Singin' "ah, ha ha, is there anybody out there"

If there's a meaning can you show me a sign
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why

And we're all getting older wishin' we were young
Hangin' on the memory of what we would become
Singin' "ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar"
Singin' "ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"
Singin' "ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar!"

If there's a meaning can you show me a sign
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why

And maybe we will never figure it out
I got a feelin' that's what life's all about
I'm learning anything is possible now

Take a ticket and get off the line (refrain)
Track Name: I Really Want It
So tell me what are we livin' for
I say we chuck inhibitions
And sell our souls to rock n' roll
I need to know what I'm missin'

So turn it up on the stereo
Somebody light the ignition
What the hell are you waiting for
It's time to make a decision

Nah-ooo
I'm feelin' the world go round
It's spinnin' me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not givin' up
It's crawling under my skin, and I don't care if I sin
I really want it
I really want it
I really want it right now!
I really want it right now!

If there's a maker up above
Then why is nobody listenin'
You show me hate, and I'll show you love
It's not about your religion

We're always lookin' to someone else
Just take a look in the mirror
'Cause all you need is inside yourself
It couldn't be any clearer

Nah-ooo
I'm feelin' the world go round
It's spinnin' me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not givin' up
It's crawling under my skin, and I don't care if I sin
I really want it
I really want it
I really want it right now!
I really want it right now!

The more we love, the more we learn
The more we love, the more we burn
The more we love

So tell me what are we livin' for
I say we chuck inhibitions
And sell our souls to rock n' roll
I need to know what I'm missin'

Nah-ooo
I'm feelin' the world go round
It's spinnin' me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not givin' up
It's crawling under my skin, and I don't care if I sin
I really want it
I really want it
I really want it right now!
I really want it right now!
Track Name: Land of Opportunity
I'm sailing away
To a land of opportunity
The sun will shine and birds will sing there everyday

I'm sailing away
And I hope that you remember me
It was fun, we hard our run, hip hip hooray!

You said, "hello"
I loved you so
Just like in a movie scene
I want you to know
I had to let go
I'm falling in love again

I'm running away
To a place where you won't bother me
We won't talk for a while, we'll be okay

And I'm changing my name
To a word that's really hard to say!
It's no one's fault, I'm just too young, and you're insane

I wasted my time
I missed all the signs
And it ruined my holiday
I want you to know
I had to let go
I'm falling in love again

Aaahh, I just gotta believe there's somethin' better
Aaahh, I just gotta believe there's somethin' more than you and me
Aaahh, I just gotta believe, I just gotta believe

TRUMPET SOLO!!!
Bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah baaaahhhhhh

You said, "hello"
I loved you so
I felt like a kid again
I want you to know
I had to let go
I'm falling in love again

Aaahh, I just gotta believe there's somethin' better
Aaahh, I just gotta believe there's somethin' more than you and me
Aaahh, I just gotta believe, I just gotta beliiiiiieeeeeeevvvveeee

I'm sailing away
To a land of opportunity.
Track Name: There Is an Answer
I am just a sailor in a great big sea
Searching for what's meant for me
And I thank my lucky stars every single day
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be

When the storm begins to blow
When I've lost my way back home
Oh, there is an answer (x2)

There is a ripple to every wave
A rhythm to the days and nights
And all our thoughts, they make the world go round
All our efforts multiply

Make a change, and you will see
One small step is all we need
Oh, there is an answer (x2)

There is no difference between you and me
It lies beyond our history
And if we only take the time to see we're all we need
Just take my hand, and see my as a brother

Look inside, and you will find
Love exists in every kind
Oh, there is an answer (x2)

Near or far, oh I believe that love will find us there
Through the dark, oh I believe that love will find us there
Oh I believe that love will find us there (x3)

Oh, there is an answer
Track Name: You'll Be Okay
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
The sun will rise
To better days

And change will come
It's on its way
Just close your eyes
And let it rain

'Cause you're never alone
I will always be there
You just carry on
You will understand

You'll be okay
You'll be okay
Just look inside
You know the way

Let it go
Fly away
And say goodbye
To yesterday

'Cause you're never alone
I will always be there
You just carry on
You will understand

I will be strong
When love is gone
I'll carry on

You'll be okay
You'll be okay
The sun will rise
To better days

You'll be okay
You'll be okay
Just close your eyes
And let it rain

When you need it the most
And all you've got is a prayer
You must carry on
You will understand (x3)

You'll be okay (x3)
Track Name: Cheer Up!
Cheer up!
'Cause nothing really matters when you look up into outer space
It's a great big world, and there's no need to cry

Cheer up!
We're all interconnected to the reaches of the galaxy
And my best friend says he came from the sky

He traveled to the Earth aboard a pink space ship
It's hard for him to hide behind those eyes...

Cheer up!
The atoms in your body are as old as every dinosaur
You're a special part of one big grand design

Cheer up!
We're all in this together to discover what we're living for
13 billion years, and there's still time

Every night, I wish upon a star so bright
Waiting for the others to arrive

Cheer up!
'Cause nothing really matters when you look up into outer space
It's a great big world, and there's no need to cry
13 billion years, and there's still time...
