Reff:
Fly like a bird to the Lord, my soul.
I want to soar like an eagle.
Though I may journey far away from home,
I know I'll never be alone.
1. O God, you know who I am.
You know my hopes and my dreams.
In my pondering and fears,
in my joy and in my tears,
O God, your presence is real.
2. Where can I run from your love?
Where can I hide from my God?
From the dawn of morning's light
to the darkness of the night,
O God, your presence is real.
3. When I am down and afraid,
When I am falling away,
You extend a gentle hand.
And I know You understand,
O God, your presence is real.

Guang Liang - Bu Hui Fen Li (Never Apart)
光良 - 不会分离
明天我们暂时要分离
电话中你不舍得语气
你说可不可以 放你的心在行李
跟着我飞行 我们就可以永远不分离
每天要听一次我爱你
你说这样会感觉贴心
如果说我离去 你的心会下起雨
满天是乌云 整个世界少了空气
Chorus:
把你抱在怀里 我们没有言语
感觉离别前两颗心在一起
我们抱在怀里 我们不想言语
今天以后留下回忆 我们可以温习
我爱你不言语 这一刻天在哭泣
离别那天你为我送行
说好我们不难过伤心
你说可不可以 一路握你的手心
放在我怀里 这样才能感觉你的呼吸
站在离境门前看着你
脸上你舍不得的表情
如果说我可以 用全宇宙的魔力
让时间暂停 让我们可以不分离
Repeat Chorus
把你抱在怀里 我们没有言语
感觉离别前两颗心在一起
我们抱在怀里 我们不想言语
今天以后留下回忆 我们一起温习
我爱你不言语 这一刻天在哭泣
我爱你不放弃 这一刻不想分离
不会分离
English Translation:
On this rainy day we’re going to be apart for a while
Your unbearable voice on the telephone
You asked if I could take your heart along in my luggage
And fly with me Then we’ll never be apart again
To hear ‘I love you’ once each day
You said that our hearts will be closer in this way
If I were to leave Your heart will be raining
The sky is covered with dark clouds The whole world lacks air
Chorus:
Holding you in my embrace
We don’t talk
Feel the two hearts that are together before being apart
Embracing each other
We don’t want to talk
The memories that we leave today
We can relive it
I love you, without words
This sky is crying
The day I left you sent me off
Although we promised that we won’t be sad
I asked if I could hold your hand throughout the journey
Leaning against me In this way only can I hear you breathe
Looking at you before leaving the door
The unbearable expression your face
If I could Use the power of the whole universe
To stop time
To let us never be apart
Chorus 3x
I love you, don’t give up
Don’t wanna be apart in this moment
Never apart

Guang Liang & Jiang Mei Qi - I Have Feelings for You
光良 & 江美琪 - 对你有感觉
美琪:我曾深刻体会 对爱感到胆怯 还好有懂我的你给我安慰
I have deeply experienced before the fear towards love. Luckily, I have you who understands me, who can give me comfort.
光良:看你失落的脸 又在为爱憔悴 我心痛的感觉竟如此的强烈
Looking at your despondent face, you are gaunt and pallid because of love again. The pain in my heart is unexpectedly strong.
*美琪:眼角的泪 它给过谁

Conflicted, undecided, unprepared to cross the boundaries of love.
怎麽会开始对你有了 感觉

深陷朋友恋人之间的 危险
Sinking deeply into the danger of the grey zone between friends and lovers.
进与退 被爱包围 谁犯规 都狼狈
To proceed or to retreat, being surrounded by love. No matter who breaks the rules, it’d be awkward for all.
谁能解围 让一切完美
Who can break this siege, and return make everything perfect?

Guang Liang - Shuang Zi Xing (Twin Star)
光良 - 双子星
天上的星星数不清
最亮的是你
不管有多远我愿意
放弃一切寻找你
我不需要用时间为我证明
就可以肯定
你的快乐伤心
我都能感应
我们就像双子星
我们面对面 挂在天边
在黑夜里连成一条线
你和我之间 只能相连
两颗心
有一样的信念
我们面对面 挂在天边
流星画出一条拋物线
我许的心愿 早已实现
就是我们永远
陪伴在彼此身边
一起拥有每一天
English translation:
The stars above can’t be counted
The brightest one is you
No matter how far, I’m willing
To let go of everything to search for you
I don’t need time to prove myself
I can already be so sure
That I can feel all your happiness or sadness
We are just like a pair of twin stars
We face each other, hanging on the horizon
Forming a line in the dark night
Only we can be connected
Two hearts with the same belief
We face each other,hanging on the horizon
The shooting stars are drawing a curving line
The wish that I make, has already become true
That this we will together be with each other always
That this us owning everyday together

Guang Liang - Shao Nian (Teenage Years)
光良 - 少年
你又想起某个夏天
热闹海岸线
记忆中的那个少年
骄傲的宣言
伸出双手就能拥抱全世界
相信所有的梦想一定会实现
一切看起来都不会太遥远
转眼之间过了几年
轻浮的语言都已经慢慢沉淀
即使难免会变得更加洗练
我们不曾妥协
那是我们都回不去的从前
幸好还可以坚持当时的信念
世界尝试改变
当初的那个少年
那是我们都回不去的从前
当你站在那个夏天的海岸线
我们还是心里面
那个偏执的少年
English Translation:
You recalled that one summer again
The bustling coastline
The young man in your memory
And his proud declaration
Stretch his arms and he can embrace the world
Believing that all dreams will eventually come true
Everything doesn't seem so far away
In the twinkling of an eye, a few years have passed
His words have become less frivolous, more down-to-earth
Though it's inevitable that we'll mature through experiences in life
We've never succumbed to that
We can never return to that past
Thankfully, we can still persist in what we believed then
The world tries to change
The young man then
We can never return to that past
When you stand at the coastline of that summer
Deep down, we're still
The young men with childish obstinacy

Charice - All that I need to survive
I look out my window
And wonder where you are (where you are)
And if you are safe out there
Somewhere in the dark (in the dark)
Time has no meaning
To this broken heart that's mine
I see your face
Where ever I go
I hear your voice
I want you to know
Refrain:
I feel your arms when I'm lonely
I make believe that you are still here with me
It's all I need
I feel your heart as if it was beating with mine
When you're in my world, I am alive
You're all that I need to survive
I've got this friend who says, it's time I let you go (let you go)
The way that you loved me, no one else could ever know
You were the best that ever happened to my heart and to my soul (to my soul)
I see your face
Where ever I go
I hear your voice
I want you to know
(Refrain)
Bridge:
And if, I mean when
When I see you again
It will be just the same as it was
And if, I mean when
We're together again
Our souls reunited as one
(Refrain)
You're in my world
I am alive
You're all that I need to survive
You're all that I need to survive
You're all that I need to survive
And wonder where you are (where you are)
And if you are safe out there
Somewhere in the dark (in the dark)
Time has no meaning
To this broken heart that's mine
I see your face
Where ever I go
I hear your voice
I want you to know
Refrain:
I feel your arms when I'm lonely
I make believe that you are still here with me
It's all I need
I feel your heart as if it was beating with mine
When you're in my world, I am alive
You're all that I need to survive
I've got this friend who says, it's time I let you go (let you go)
The way that you loved me, no one else could ever know
You were the best that ever happened to my heart and to my soul (to my soul)
I see your face
Where ever I go
I hear your voice
I want you to know
(Refrain)
Bridge:
And if, I mean when
When I see you again
It will be just the same as it was
And if, I mean when
We're together again
Our souls reunited as one
(Refrain)
You're in my world
I am alive
You're all that I need to survive
You're all that I need to survive
You're all that I need to survive
Charice - In This Song
How will I know
Where I'm going now
This broken road
Is trying to tear me down
But deep inside I found
A sacred place
That I never knew
Where I feel safe when the road is untrue
Here's what I learned to do
[Chorus]
Just sing this song
And it takes me right back
Where I belong
And every day there's a new bridge to cross
But I'm never far from home
If I bring my heart, my soul, my own
In this song
No...
I don't depend on friends
Cause they come and go
My belief in myself
Is gonna carry me through
That's why I'm learning
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh...
I'm learning now
I'm ready to sing
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I may not have
All the words
That I need to say and
Though I won't always be strong
But I'm never afraid
Cause I hold my destiny, it depends on me
Alone, alone...
[Chorus]
In this song
In this song
In this song
Where I'm going now
This broken road
Is trying to tear me down
But deep inside I found
A sacred place

[Chorus]
Just sing this song
And it takes me right back
Where I belong
And every day there's a new bridge to cross

Alone, alone...

Jewel - Stay Here Forever
Oh(Oh) Oh(Oh) Oh Oh
I'm laying here dreaming, Staring at the ceiling,
Wasting the day away.
The world's flying by
our window outside,
But hey baby that's OK.
This feels so right it can't be wrong,
So far, as I can see,
Where you wanna go baby,
I'll do anything.
Chorus:
Cause if you wanna go, Baby let's go,
If you wanna rock, I'm ready to roll,
And if you wanna slow down,
We can slow down together.
If you wanna walk, Baby let's walk.
Have a little kiss, have a little talk.
We don't gotta leave at all,
We can lay here forever,
Stay here forever.
Oh Oh Oh Oh
If you wanna see that Italian tower leaning,
Baby we can leave right now.
If that's too far,
We can jump in the car, and take a little trip around town.
They say that California
is nice and warm this time of year.
Baby, say the word, and we'll just disappear.
(Chorus)
Oh, It's a big world for a boy and a girl,
Letting go of it all,
Holding on to one another.
Oh, there's a whole lot of world to discover,
Under the covers.
(Chorus)
Let's just lay here forever,
Stay here forever.
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
I'm laying here dreaming, Staring at the ceiling,
Wasting the day away.
The world's flying by
our window outside,
But hey baby that's OK.
This feels so right it can't be wrong,
So far, as I can see,
Where you wanna go baby,
I'll do anything.
Chorus:
Cause if you wanna go, Baby let's go,
If you wanna rock, I'm ready to roll,
And if you wanna slow down,
We can slow down together.
If you wanna walk, Baby let's walk.
Have a little kiss, have a little talk.
We don't gotta leave at all,
We can lay here forever,
Stay here forever.

Baby we can leave right now.
If that's too far,

Taylor Swift - Jump Then Fall
I like the way you sound in the morning
We're on the phone and without a warning
I realize your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard
I like the way I can't keep my focus
I watch you talk you didn't notice
I hear the words but all I can think is we should be together
Chorus:
Every time you smile, I smile
and every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to jump then fall, jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you,
Say that you wanna be with me too
Cause I'm gonna stay through it all so jump then fall
Well, I like the way your hair falls in your face
You got the keys to me I love each freckle on your face, oh,
I've never been so wrapped up,
Honey, I like the way you're everything I've ever wanted
I had time to think it oh-over and all I can say is come closer,
Take a deep breath and jump then fall into me
(Chorus)
The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet
I'll catch you, I'll catch you
When people say things that bring you to your knees,
I'll catch you
The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you through the night until you smile
Whoa oh I need you baby
Don't be afraid please
Jump then fall, jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you,
Say that you wanna be with me too
Cause I'm gonna through it all so jump then fall
Jump then fall baby
Jump then fall into me, into me
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine
And every time you're here Baby
I'll show you, I'll show you
You can jump then fall, jump then fall,
Jump then fall into me, into me
Yeah
We're on the phone and without a warning
I realize your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard
I like the way I can't keep my focus
I watch you talk you didn't notice
I hear the words but all I can think is we should be together
Chorus:
Every time you smile, I smile
and every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh I'm feeling you baby

Dan Fogelberg - Same Old Lang Syne
Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried.
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totalled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged.
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude.
She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'auld lang syne'...
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away.
Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried.
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totalled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged.
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude.
She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'auld lang syne'...
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away.
Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain

All 4 One - Not Ready for Goodbye
Sittin' here starin' at the wall
Another lonely tear falls
I'm tryin' to write you this song
But I can hardly see the page at all
'Cause it's breaking my heart
When I look in your eyes
And I don't see me anymore
Oh, and you're all I'm living for
Refrain:
Baby, tell me that you still believe
That you still love me
The way I love you
If you take your love away from me
You know I would die
'Cause I'm not ready for goodbye (Oh...oh...oh...)
Baby, please pick up the phone
Tell me I'm crazy, I got it all wrong
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I don't know how to live without you
You are the first song
My heart ever heard
And baby, I-I believed every word
You are my heart, my soul, my world
(Refrain)
Every breath that I take, every beat of my heart
You know it's all for you
I wanna hold you, I wanna love you
Forever and always
(Refrain)
I know I would die (I know I would die)
'Cause I'm not ready for goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Another lonely tear falls
I'm tryin' to write you this song
But I can hardly see the page at all
'Cause it's breaking my heart
When I look in your eyes
And I don't see me anymore
Oh, and you're all I'm living for
Refrain:
Baby, tell me that you still believe
That you still love me
The way I love you
If you take your love away from me
You know I would die
'Cause I'm not ready for goodbye (Oh...oh...oh...)
Baby, please pick up the phone
Tell me I'm crazy, I got it all wrong
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I don't know how to live without you
You are the first song
My heart ever heard
And baby, I-I believed every word
You are my heart, my soul, my world
(Refrain)
Every breath that I take, every beat of my heart
You know it's all for you
I wanna hold you, I wanna love you
Forever and always
(Refrain)
I know I would die (I know I would die)
'Cause I'm not ready for goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
