noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 05:48:00 +0000

do, do, do-dodo
dodo, do, do do-dodo

well the day is gone
and I'm moving on
from the endless lessons
that teach me to keep strong

satisfaction overwhelms me
and I'm proud to see
all that I can be
the change inside of me

there's one thing above all else
that has led me to success
three amazing words I live by
that bring fulfillment and happiness

chorus:
live with passion
strong and focused as can be
live with passion
I'm juiced with energy

live with passion
every moment, every day
live with passion
I know I'm on my way

I close my eyes at night
rest comfy in my bed
expectation in my body
thoughts still flowing through my head

I can hardly wait 'til day break
to experience so much more
life is one big celebration
live no limits, that's for sure

Relationships - Success Music

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 05:45:00 +0000

life’s about relationships
the people we know and meet
the friends we love a lifetime
the strangers we sometimes greet

they support our wondrous journey
through the good times and the bad
they sculpt our soul and character
through the happy and the sad

relationships are all about
emotional associations
and when we master their meaning
we master our relations

towards the feelings and perceptions
of the present and the past
to find a resolution
and certainty that lasts

chorus:
the power of relationships
is found within the sharing
the learning and understanding
the loving and the caring

the power of relationships
provides challenges and fun
magnifies the human experience
brings people together as one

success is all about
enjoying reciprocals in life
the rainbows and the storms
the harmony and the strife

see the world around you
no two people are the same
appreciate any differences
eliminate any blame

relationships are a place to give
and in the giving you will receive
the greatest gift of unity
you could ever hope to achieve

stepping up another level
to awareness and attitude
bestowing upon you life's rewards
of fulfillment and gratitude

Power of Emotions - Success Music

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 05:42:00 +0000

through all my life's experience
through all the wonder and surprise
through all the fear and the uncertainty
that I've come to realise

emotions are the basis
that control my every state
every emotion has a message
that I've learnt to appreciate

chorus:
cause that's the power of emotions
that's the power 'to be'
that's the power of emotions, yeah
the power inside of me
that's the power of emotions, yeah
the power inside of me

to master my emotions
I identify their category
clarify what it is I want
to visualise and see

the strategy and the approach
communicated by taking action
changing perception and procedure
until achievin’ satisfaction

chorus

I've changed my everyday language
through awareness and devotion
I have a feeling of expectation
now I've mastered my emotions

I make a negative into a positive
make a wrong into a right
make an obstacle into opportunity
I'm in control of my own plight

chorus

nothing in life has meaning
except the meaning I create
and the message of all emotions
is for me to change my state

planting the seeds for my success
cultivating them as they grow
my garden of positive emotions
will blossom abundantly, I know

The Game of Life - Success Music

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 05:39:00 +0000

we're all here for a reason
but the question is why
everything we do has consequences
of this we can't deny

there's something inside of us
that is infinite and never-ending
and if we all look hard enough
we'll find this gift befriending

you can't control events
except what they mean to you
so it's time to make decisions
as to what you plan to do

by taking massive action now
you'll eliminate procrastination
find fulfillment in the journey
not just the destination

chorus:
all things happen for a reason
treat them like a gift
find significance in the moment
and you will find the shift

in the way you free your thinking
from disappointment, pain and strife
you'll discover a greater purpose
and win the game of life

most people worry about
the things they can't control
they dig themselves in deeper
until they're living in a hole

they set themselves for failure
this is simple to predict
cause they live their life by many rules
most of which conflict

and then they wonder why
and what life is all about
ignoring the real questions
confronting their self-doubt

because of a lack of faith
they sometimes to fail to see
the potential of life's lessons
and opportunity

chorus

don't take yourself too seriously
don't be led by life's fools
respect each other's differences
and live by fewer rules

play with faith and passion
don't be driven by the past
find an empowering focus
act with clarity, now and fast

delays are not denials
it's important to understand
that character is shaped through uncertainty
when choice is in your hand

you'll experience so much more
than your mind could ever see
sometimes not getting your dream
gives you your destiny

Personal Power - Success Music

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 05:36:00 +0000

I've got the power
personal power
I've got the power within me

I've got the power
personal power
I've got the power within me

I opened up my heart, opened up my mind
to possibilities all around
discovered successful secrets
few people had long ago found

ability to act equals personal power
which ultimately defines my will
combined with daily practice
repetition is the mother of skill

chorus:
I … I've got the power
personal power
I've got the power within me

I … I've got the power
personal power
I've got the power within me

there is no such thing as failure
except failing even to try
always settling for second best
living in fear, a daily lie

yet fear is just an obstacle
that can serve me in every way
transform the quality of my life
improve it from day to day

chorus

it's oh so clear and plain to see
success leaves clues and traces
and once I've learnt these lessons
I put experience through its paces

first I must know my outcome
with clarity and precision
life changes not by learning more
but from ability to make decisions

chorus x 2

success is a state of mind
to which I hold the key
that unlocks every connecting door
unleashing the power inside of me

it's the key to personal power
to which I've made the pledge
to master control of my life
and help me get the edge

Attitude - Success Music

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 05:21:00 +0000

people see their lives
in many different ways
some through coloured glasses
others through a haze

it's all a matter of attitude
what you think and what you do
that will determine all life's outcomes
and what they mean to you

attitude; it’s a choice
that let's you take a stance
to control your life's destiny
leaving nothing left to chance

your ultimate success in life
is closer than it seems
for every step with attitude
leads you closer to your dreams

chorus:
gimme some
gimme some
attitude

gimme some
gimme some
gimme some attitude

think you can or think you can't
either way you're right
I believe in the impossible
won't give up without a fight

I'm breaking down the barriers
creating my own path
exploring the extraordinary
smilin' at the aftermath

taking on life's challenges
that greet me every turn
they're there for a reason
to help me grow and learn

this simple thing called attitude
is a flame inside of me
igniting my desires
to be the best that I can be

chorus

what most consider failure
is only feedback in disguise
experience taught me this
to appreciate and realise

there's nothin' more important
than the way I always think
it's the source that leads to feeling
that provides the vital link

the way I act to get
the things I want and need
that determine my ability
to make decisions and succeed

achieving goals that inspire me
for a life of fun and laughter
I'm writing another chapter
livin’ happily ever after

Pain vs Pleasure - Success Music

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 05:18:00 +0000

life was never meant
to be so hard
but through society's conditioning
we play that card

people submit
victimise and complain
ignoring association
to their pleasure and their pain

procrastination’s a killer
of a silent kind
it slowly infests
to overtake your mind

it bleeds away achievement
momentum and success
robs you of fulfillment
and your happiness

chorus:
pain versus pleasure
it's our driving force
it’s where we get our inspiration
the original source

when we acknowledge that
there's one of two things to do
you can use it
or allow it to use you

most people don't succeed
until they experience great pain
they sabotage themselves
until there's nothing left to gain

then as a survival technique
they snap right out of strife
to overcome the tragedy
that has become their life

so think about the pain
if you don't follow through
the regret and the torment
that will build up in you

focus on your outcome
the pleasure and the gain
eliminate the negatives
and the temporary pain

chorus

it's about awareness
not being careless
about the way that your mind thinks
and how you use it
and not abuse it
about the message you link

so carefully choose your thoughts
make them the clear, make them strong
your ultimate reality
is what you focus on

get juiced 'bout what you do
about what you say
get excited and passionate
every possible way

find the reasons and emotions
that drive you to believe
and you'll create success
the more you achieve

practice this advice
and a bit more too
take control of your life
don't let life control you

chorus

Getting the Results - Success Music

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 05:14:00 +0000

I got disturbed about my lifestyle
got honest with myself
I made a real decision
and I worked on my body's health

I created a mission statement
set the game of life up to win
I designed a real plan
knew exactly where to begin

I endowed myself with faith
the power to act with trust
and I raised my personal standards
turned the 'shoulds' into the 'musts'

I changed my limiting beliefs
eliminated all distraction
I only do the things that matter
I’m taking massive action

chorus:
I'm getting the results
achieving the pay-offs I desire
I'm focused on the outcomes
and the dreams in which inspire

I'm getting the results
and I'm learning from the past
transformed the quality of my life
through change that's here to last

all actions lead to results
their meaning is up to me
to find the truth and message
to interpret with honesty

for honesty creates freedom
the freedom to think and do
the freedom to act with clarity
and the freedom to follow through

it's given me the reasons why
shown me the methods how
proven that purpose is power
and revealed the power of now

gifted with personal assets
certainty and drive
modeling patterns of success
my results are sure to thrive

chorus

well I burnt the bridges behind me
cause I'm never turning back
I'm committed to saying 'never again'
now I've got my life on track

not accepting what life gives me
without putting it to the test
I'm asking all the right questions
performing at my very best

with an extraordinary mindset
that launches me into state
I'm powered by momentum
thinking and I’m feeling great

enjoying growth and contribution
that conditions my behaviour
challenging the impossible
with results I'll always savour

chorus

I'm getting the results

All I Need - Success Music

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 05:09:00 +0000

all I need, all I need, all I need is within me now
all I need, all I need, all I need is within me now

I've made up my mind, there's no turning back
I’ve taken a vow of devotion
I’ve focused myself, strengthened my will
utilised every emotion

never again
will fear stand in my way
I'm achieving results
every day

chorus:
all I need, is within me now
a wealth of knowledge, to show me how
all the desire, to tell me why
all the faith, to spread my wings and fly

living in a state of gratitude
free and focused to the letter

whatever my mind
can conceive and believe
I know in my heart
I can achieve

chorus x 2

I sing it, I think it, I feel it
I act it over, over once more
visualise it with intensity
live it like never before

emotionally engaging the experience
even if I have to fake it
purposely suspending my disbelief
until I actually make it

my mind cannot distinguish
between reality and imagination
so I embody my affirmations
with a tireless fascination

setting my days up for victory
with certainty and success
creating an extraordinary life
fulfilled with happiness

chorus x 2

love (is within me now)
joy (is within me now)
strength (is within me now)
trust (is within me now)
will (is within me now)
drive (is within me now)
faith (is within me now)
all I need (is within me now)

Still a chance that they will see

Ordinary Day - Great Big Sea

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Thu, 13 Jul 2006 08:24:00 +0000

I've got a smile on my face, I've got four walls around me
The sun in the sky, the water surrounds me
I'll win now but sometimes I'll lose
I've been battered, but I'll never bruise, it's not so bad

[Chorus]
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day, you've still got to say,
it's all right.

See that girl on the street, what keeps her from dying
Let them say what they want, she won't stop trying
She might stumble, if they push her 'round
She might fall, but she'll never lie down

[Chorus]

It's a beautiful day, but there's always some sorrow
It's a double edged knife, but there's always tomorrow
It's up to you now if you sink or swim,
Keep the faith and your ship will come in.

A Thousand Beautiful Things - Annie Lennox

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Wed, 12 Jul 2006 07:51:00 +0000

Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
(a thousand beautiful things)
And even though it's hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
(a thousand beautiful things)
So... light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close my eyes

I thank you for the air to breathe
The heart to beat
The eyes to see again
(a thousand beautiful things)
And all the things that's been and done
The battle's won
The good and bad in everyone
(this is mine to remember)
So ...
Here I go again
Singin' by your window
Pickin' up the pieces of what's left to find

The world was meant for you and me
To figure out our destiny
(a thousand beautiful things)
To live
To die
To breathe
To sleep
To try to make your life complete
(yes yes)
So ...
Light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
never close my eyes ...
That is everything I have to say
(that's all I have to say)

Hold On - Kansas

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Wed, 12 Jul 2006 07:28:00 +0000

Look in the mirror and tell me
Just what you see
What have the years of your life
Taught you to be
Innocence dyin' in so many ways
Things that you dream of are lost
Lost in the haze

(Chorus)
Hold on, Baby Hold on
'Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Hold on, Baby Hold on
'Cause there's something on the way
Your tomorrow's not the same as today

Don't you recall what you felt
When you weren't alone
Someone who stood by your side
A face you have known
Where do you run when it's too much to bear
Who do you turn to in need
When nobody's there

(Chorus)

Outside your door He is waiting
Waiting for you
Sooner or later you know
He's got to get through
No hesitation and no holding back
Let it all go and you'll know
You're on the right track

(Chorus)

Oh, tell me what I got
I get this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town
Tonight I gotta cut

(Chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me offa my knees

Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Dig way down in your heart
You're yearning, burning for some

Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You can fly if you'd only cut

(Chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Oowhee, Marie
Shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, Milo
C'mon, c'mon let go
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose

FIRST - we got to turn you around
SECOND - You put your feet on the ground
THIRD - Now take a hold of your soul
FOUR - Whooooooooa, I'm turning it
Loose, FOOTLOOSE
(Chorus)

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free

No Such Thing - John Mayer

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding
Up my sleeve

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above

So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits and
Maybe transfers
They read all the books but they can't find the answers
And all of our parents
They're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you got to rise above

I am invincible (3x)
As long as I'm alive

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above

I just can't wait for my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for

One Hundred Years - Five for Fighting

noreply@blogger.com (Josh Hinds) — Mon, 10 Apr 2006 09:25:00 +0000

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose

15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Into the West - Annie Lennox

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

(Chorus)
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass

Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say:
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again

And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

(Chorus)
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
