IT LIES WITHIN - Overdue Refrain
Looking for power from an outside force
You say “Surely I can’t make it on my own”
But you’re too convinced it’d all be worthless
No ideas can penetrate a wall of stone
Inside your mind you’re living a lie
“Cause the lies they call fact are holding you back
It lies within, it lies within your heart
It lies within, it lies within your heart
It started when you were just a child
Conditioning of the thoughts was all they had to teach
Well I’ll speak it true, just believe in you
And your visions of glory are all within reach
Don’t try to relate to anger and hate
Change! You know it’s a change for the better
It lies within, it lies within your heart
It lies within, it lies within your heart

NOT GONE AWAY - Overdue Refrain
Hey now, here’s for all the good times
The Lord knows we had quite a few
Hey now, you might feel the same as me
But try not to every feel so blue
Because I haven’t really gone away
I haven’t really gone away
Hang on to the images and memories
Hang on to those feeling of so strong
Hey, can’t you hear these words I say to you
Take a part of me in my song
A long, long way from home
You were all the best
Vous resterez toujours dans mon couer
Touch and go
Our lives were so intertwined
Cet chanson
C’est mon retour
But I haven’t really gone away
I haven’t really gone away
Throughout the years
I chased the fears
The best way to move on was to
Slowly let it go
But you were always here
No you haven’t really gone away
You haven’t really gone away
Hang on to the images and memories
Hang on to those feeling of so strong
Hey, can’t you hear these words I say to you
Take a part of me in my song
Take a part of me in my song
Take a part of me in my song
Take a part of me in my song

JUST LIKE YOU - Overdue Refrain (2020)
It’s just like you to think that way
Standing proud with feet of clay
It’s just like you to put me down
I’m worth nothing, I have no say
You say you’re better than me
And you’re saying it right out loud - LOUDLY
I have a feeling it’s all an act
I have a feeling you’re holding back
I have a feeling it’s all fake
I know you’re cool, so give me a break
There’ll be a time, wait and see
You won’t know what to believe
There’ll come a point when you’ll say
“What makes my world fade away?”
When you find that you’re alone and you’re feeling quite small
When you understand that writing on the wall
When you find that all you care about is pointless in the end
When you realize you haven’t a friend
Me? All I know I’m not so sure
Me? All I know nothing is pure
Me? I believe in coming clean
You? Well you think I’m making a scene
It’s just like you to think that way
Standing proud with feet of clay
It’s just like you to put me down
I’m worth nothing, I have no say
It’s just like you
It’s just like you
Just like you

ALLIANCES - Overdue Refrain
What more can you possibly say?
When it was all there once and it slipped away?
I once was confident I once was strong
Now there’s nothing left for me to draw upon
And things are getting hard to take
Smiles come fewer and are often fake
The things I valued once I value no more
I don’t expect too much anymore
My memory is something I fear
The scenes and images are much too clear
My memory’s a curse, I dwell on the past
I always thought that you and I would last
From the so-called friends who never stood by me
To the trendy people who laugh at me
I failed to learn my lesson along the way
Alliances are changing every day.
Changing every day
Changing every Day
Alliances are changing every day
Alliances are changing every day
Alliances are changing every day
Alliances are changing every day
What more can you possibly say?
When it was all there once and it slipped away?
I once was confident I once was strong
Now there’s nothing left for me to draw upon
Alliances are changing every day
Alliances are changing every day
Alliances are changing every day
Alliances are changing every day

GOD”S LOVE (ALWAYS) - Overdue Refrain
Wherever I go and whatever I do
Inside of me is a part of you
You all are gifts from heaven above
You all are gifts. You are loved.
And though we part you’re with me forever
And though we part you’re with me forever
God’s love is alive in you
The way you act and the things you do
You yourself are alive in me
I’ll always remember you
Always
My life has changed, it’s special and new
My life has changed since I met you
And though we part you’re with me forever
And though we part you’re with me forever
When I’m alone and feeling blue
My thoughts will always drift back to you
I’ll reflect upon all the good times that we had
And the pain and the hurt won’t be so bad
And so, and so today I have no doubt
God’s love I am nothing without
And though we part you’re with me forever
And though we part you’re with me forever
God’s love is alive in you
The way you act and the things you do
You yourself are alive in me
I’ll always remember you
Always
