Pride
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
What if all the love and hate around me would merge as one?
Would all the shadows walking by me just fade away?
What if all the love and hate around me could merge as one?
I never thought I'd live to see the day
A tear would come crawling down my face
Breaking down my Pride
What if all the Stars that shine above me would start to Fall?
Would shadows glowing near by help me feel safe and sound?
Why do all the Stars that shine above me keep falling down?
She never thought we'd live to see this day
When tears would come rolling down his face
I never thought I'd live to see this day
When tears would keep running down his face
And take away his pride
Once the father figure dies
Leaves the mother figure cry
Alone in the dark a child
Tries to hold on to his Pride
Bring down the walls all around
And break the chains that hold you down
Healing scars will leave behind
A cold and icy winter night
Pride
Once the walls have fallen down
Bring the little king back his crown
If you look him in his eyes
Please bring him back his Pride
What if all the rage that runs in our veins
Could turn to fire?
Would that be enough to scare away the enemy
And free the child?
Who could have told we'd live to see the day
When tears would come rolling down our face
And steal away our pride
Pride
How does it feel to cry?
How does it feel to have to hide?
Can I help you for a while?
Pride
Just look me in the eyes
I thought you would be by my side
If only for a while
Pride
How does it feel to cry?
How does it feel to have to hide?
Can I help you for a while?
Pride
Just look me in the eyes
I thought you would be by my side
If only for a while

Superstar
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
After all this time
Giving up is such a crime
If you look beyond the lies
You'll be amazed, the truth you'll find
Feeling alone in a world of your own
With no place to hide
Still nobody knows
How the fire still burns in your eyes
After all this rain
Tears will never be the same
You find someone to blame
To take away some of your pain
Feeling alone in a world of your own
With no place to hide
Still nobody knows
How the fire still burns in your eyes
Trembling and scared with no future ahead
But don't worry now
For everyone knows the stars never fall from the sky
From the sky
From the sky
After all this time
Giving up is such a crime
After all the fame
Standing there center stage
The world is just a game
You've got to find just who you play
Feeling alone in a world of your own
With no place to hide
Still nobody knows
How the fire still burns in your eyes
Trembling and scared with no future ahead
But don't worry now
For everyone knows that the stars
Never fall from the sky
From the sky
From the sky
Stars never fall from the sky

The World is a Game
Words by Michel St-Pere and Benoit DavidMusic by Michel St-Pere
Do you know what we think of your attitude?
Open your eyes
Do you feel all the fear that shadowed their eyes?
And all that remains of their lives
And so the world is a game
And I'm just a pawn in your hand
You hold the world in your hand
Like a child with a Ball
Do you realize?
You point a finger then you say
One word and we fall
But who's the winner after all
And so the world is a game
The Joy and the pain of our time
Remember these pawns all have names
The rules are the same in their lives
In the end
All you need is our gratitude
We shut our eyes
And so the world is a game
Working on the grand design
For some it almost feels Divine
Sipping the last drop of their wine
For this world is just a game
Standing in the line of fire
The heroes' flags flying high
Waving way above their pride
Can anyone win that game?
The world is a game
And so the world is a game
The Joys and the pains of our time
When you reap the loss and the gain
Then all that remains is our lives
...is our lives
And so the world is a game
The Joys and the pains of our time
When you reap the loss and the gain
Then all that remains is our time
...is our time
The world is a game

Dear Someone
Words by Michel St-Pere and Benoit DavidMusic by Michel St-Pere
Dear Someone
I wrote this letter many many years ago
Dear Someone
It might have traveled across oceans you don't know
Dear Someone
The world I'm living in ain't what I used to know
Dear Someone
All we believed in were only lies we were told
We were told
Beware
Don't do the same mistakes we made
And pray
Just keep your children loved and safe
The world will find a way
Dear Someone
Will find a way
In all the lies that we were told
If only we could find some hope
The world will find a way
Dear Someone
Oh
Dear Someone
Dear Someone
People running trying to find a place to hide
Dear Someone
A child is born at dawn, three suns arise
Beware
Don't do the same mistakes we made
And pray
Just keep your children loved and safe
Don't do the same mistakes we made
Just keep your children loved and safe
The world will find a way
Dear Someone

Time Goes By
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
Winter came too fast this time
Trapping Angels passing by
Footprints in the snow divide
Childhood games from manly crimes
The snowman hopes you dream tonight
Before the morning light
As I watch you sleep at night
Love is real, true as time goes by
Tragic waves just come and go
Leaving trails of tears to shore
Sometimes knocking on your door
You let them in, they run the show
May the beauty of your dreams revive
The gentle morning light
As I lay there by your side
Love is real, true as time goes by
Time goes by
May the beauty of our dreams survive
Another morning rise
Time goes by
Time goes by
May the beauty of our dreams survive
Another morning rise
Spring my end a snowman's life
Another chapter closed behind
When I watch you sleep at night
Love is real, true as time goes by
Time goes by
Time goes by
Time goes by

Another Day
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
[Part 1]
There's a rumor coming from the land
Where no one's gone before
This world is coming to an end
Take a second glance at the photographs
Hanging on the wall
What was left there to pretend
I sit and watch the day go by
And long for better days
I pray and wait and time goes by
Just give me one more day
I sit and watch the day go by
And long for better days
I pray and wait and time goes by
Just give me one more day
We stand there and watch the years go by
Dreaming of yesterday
One sigh, so many years gone by
Hoping for another day
There's a rumor coming from the land
Where no one's gone before
[Part 2]
Like in a pleasant nightmare
The world turns up side down
No one seems to care...
Everyday working hard to live the good life
And do as everyone else would say
Forget about your own ride
Getting caught into the web
For you've always wandered
Too close to the edge
No one seems to care...
Runaway
Just run before the clock strikes midnight
And take the last dream away
Don't put a hold on your life
Now you're caught into the web
For you've always wandered
Too close to the edge
Time ticking away
Time slipping away
The elder read the chapters
Reflecting from the mirror
Where have all the good days gone?
Scared of the night fall
He lights a little candle
And prays he'll get to see the dawn
Recalling every vision
Of an uncertain future
Foreseen in a crystal ball
No matter your devotion
Time is just illusion
Don't know what you've got till it's gone
As the night is running out
The dawn is getting closer
And soon you will hear the call
Time goes by
Time goes by
Time goes by
Time goes by
Tonight
Feel the rhythm of time
And the pace of our lives
So many pleasures given to treasure
For the rest of our lives
The stars will rise into the crimson skies
And all our dreams will beat in time
And fuel this mortal life
Cause tonight
Time is on our side
And everything feels alright
Flowing rivers in our minds
Where any dreams were left behind
Just left behind
But the watch that winds a sad look in your eyes
The hands are going round and round
The sand keeps falling down
The pendulum of life swings from left to right
Providing oh so many pleasures
To make you walk in line
There's a paper doll with strange button eyes
That sits up on the shelf
Brings me back in time
And a music box replays the song
That sang within the heart
Of those who stood behind
And all those tears won't justify
To cast the dream away
One sigh, so many years gone by
Hoping for another day
When the dusty dream that runs your life
Would play a different game
Brings you back on time
For this world that's pushing you aside
Standing in the rain
Keeps you right on time
You sit and watch the day go by
And long for better days
You pray and wait and time goes by
And wish for one more day
We stand there and let the years go by
Dreaming of yesterday
A tear, so many years gone by
Hoping for another day
For all the love we get
We take, we lose, we make
Another day
For all we touch and see
We hear and we create
Just another day
For all of those who think
This world is just a game
Come out and play for another day
Come out and play...
For all the love we get
Another day
Come out and play...
