A cotton wool girl, kept from harm. Wrapped up safe in daddies arms. Saw teenage shows on TV. But didn't know that was reality. Her head in a book, brain working overtime. She's never told a lie, she's never done crime. She's coped so far in this world she has managed. But sometimes a sheltered life does the most damage Chorus: She still believes in innocence, but it's slipped out of her hold. The world is quickly changing now that she is getting old. She use to do the right thing only cause she was told. And now she's Miss Independant and she's got to be bold. Studying now most of her days, Teachers beam down predicted straight A's. Parents raised her treated her right, But blinkered views cut out her sight. Almost got the grades showing her intelligence, Until her friends took the precedence Peer pressure is a powerful thing. Can lead you to do almost anything Chorus Bridge: And so that's what she did, Traded brains for popularity. Lost the way, lost all clarity. Of her dreams, her ambitions her goals. If only she knew, if only she were told.... Chorus x 2 Because she's miss Independant and she's gotta be bold Because she's miss Independant and she's got to be bold

Chameleon 03:49
Whisper in my ear, pass it down the line. And by the time it comes around. The truth has swiftly changed, It's funny yet it's strange And I don't know who to look out for now. Because people are like chameleons, They change just to fit in. But the beauty is obvious, It's in yourself it is within. They always say their right, They are always right because Who likes to be wrong? But I have seen the truth and it whispers in my ear It won't be long. You've begun to listen instead of see, And we both know this cannot be. You've begun to change, it's funny and it's strange. And I don't know who to look out for now. You wait till you can see and do as I can do Because you're flawless an individual I like you cause of you. They always say their right, They always think they're right Because who likes to be wrong. But i have seen the truth and whispers in my ear It wont be long. Chorus: Oh way oh. I don't want you to change. Oh way oh. I love how this feels strange. Because you're right and you've always been, When you walk along the pavement sings. Don't be like that, be kind Beauty is all in the mind. I see you yeah.... Chorus

Eclipse 05:37
Mr Mr the suns in the west, I don't know why, Father knows best. The world keeps on turning regardless of me. North, South, West it confuses me. The only word with meaning is why, Why we're on earth and they're in the sky. The man gives a smile and takes the boys hand, says 'Explore the mysteries held in this land.' Mr Mr the moons in the east, I thought it had stopped, I thought it had ceased. They both look up the moon beams down, With its beauty and light the boy pulls a frown. 'Why does he glow when he is alone? Why does he shine when he hasn't a home?' The man gives a smile 'It's ok my lad The sun is the mum the moon is the dad' Seasons change and time rolls past, His mind is a storm clinging onto a mast. Looks into space, stars glimmer like chrome. Trying to get a bearing to find his way home. Chorus: Ohhhhhhhh, The sky is so vast. But in the endless air, He wants the memories to last. Mr Mr the boy starts to cry, with the sun and the moon both in the sky He's in awe, never seen this before the Man smiles at him he knows there is more. As the moon joins the sun, he is filled with delight there is darkness but a beaming circle of light. He finally sees that neither are alone, Mum and Dad together the sky as their home. He gazes into space, the two unite, a home is made by a miraculous sight. Clouds gather round and beauty begin, creates a warm blanket and tucks him in. Chorus: Ohhhhhhhh, they're miles apart. But in the endless air, he knows they hold his heart.

Kara 05:41
Do I have to even try. She said 'Whats going on in your mind?' My hearts saying 'Say, give yourself away' My brains saying 'Save it for another day' She's asking me questions that I want to answer, But I'm frozen still Mr Non-Romancer. Pluck up the courage, swallow your pride. As I go to make my move she walks outside. This has gone on for far too long, The way of the world it is wrong. I have never felt like this before. All is fair in love and war. She's looking at me, my hearts in my throat. I just try to breathe but i start to choke. It's now or never stop the hesitation. The pressure is on this is my ultimatum. Don't you see girl, what I'm trying to say? I'm nervous and I'm anxious, been waiting all day. To say this to you, I swear that it's true. I think I, I think I, I think I do, Love you. Latin section: Girl for a long time, I've had you on my mind your one of a kind Girl your so fine won't you be mine. Lady, is this a yes no or maybe. Driving me crazy are you my baby. Tell me what's be been on your mind lately. Save me, cause I've fallen for you. It's true, don't know what to do. Stay forever, for ever's not long. Us together, with you in my arms. Hearts grow stronger each day, So oh what do you say. She dances over and shakes her hips, And kisses my lips Boy, are you crazy Of course I'll be your baby you amaze me, Praise me no one else can come save me. Mr, 'usted me pude llever a la fiesta' Or maybe more who knows what lays in store. Your truly completely the one my heart adores. Save me, cause I've fallen for you. It's true, don't know what to do. Stay forever, for ever's not long. Us together, with you in my arms. Hearts grow stronger each day, So oh what do you say. She dances over and shakes her hips, And kisses my lips Don't you see girl, what I'm trying to say? I'm nervous and I'm anxious, I've been waiting all day. To say this to you, I swear that it's true. I think I, I think I, I think I Love you. (Horn solo's)
