Trust In Me
(Katy Hudson/Mark Dickson) How could I see you when I was so blind
How could I grasp you when I was far behind
How could I hear you when I was so deaf
How could I get up when I had been left
But You said, "don't worry"
For I've healed the blind man
And I've set the captives free
And You said, "don't worry"
For all you've gotta do
Is put your trust in Me
How could I be clean when I was so dirty
How could I be made whole when I was torn apart
Make me whole, make me whole
Make me whole again
Chorus (repeat)

Piercing
(Katy Hudson/Brian White/Tommy Collier)
But holding to you is so hard,
I cling to what I see
Pre-chorus
In a world where my emotions
Seem to rule my every move
They will challenge my devotion
To seek and know the truth
You're piercing me
This self will bleed
You're killing all of my securities
Lord, help me see the reality
That all I'll ever need is You
Here in this haze a distant light seems to draw me near
But in the shadow of my doubt
My faith just disappears
Pre-chorus
Chorus 3x

Search Me
(Katy Hudson/Tommy Collier/Scott Faircloff)
My heart
Through this laughter you feel
My pain
Even through this mask you see
My face
For You are the only one who really knows just who I am
And you search me
And you know all the secrets of my heart
And you search me
Revealing the mysteries of who You are
You search me
Growing up never comes
Easily
In Your hands, You're the potter
Molding me
Then why do I wear this mask and play this game
Of hide and seek
When You are the only one who really knows just who I am
Chorus (repeat)
My Father, my Father
You are my Father, oh, and I am Your child
And you hear my cry, even at the midnight
Chorus
Hello, hello I'm searchin' for a man
With love filled eyes and them healing hands
Hello, hello I've been waiting for so long
Don't disconnect me cause it's my last call
Pre-chorus
For help...yeah help
For help...
Cause it's 8-9-9-3-8-3-3, come on and listen to me
Take my call, collect my change,
Cause Lord I'm calling on Your name
Don't wanna leave, don't wanna say goodbye
Still fifteen minutes for my thrity-five
And where's this good in goodbye?
Cause talking to you is bringing me...
Pre-chorus
This life...yeah life
This life...yeah
Chorus 2x
Music break
Chorus 4x
THIS IS MY LAST CALL!

Growing Pains
(Katy Hudson/David Browning) You would think that I could find a simple song, a photograph of mine
To show this public eye, what I have to offer
I may not have a PHD, or speak in eloquent philosophy!
I'm nothing more than simply me you see!
Pre-chorus
What I am trying to say
I'm just a babe in so many ways!
I'm still growing, still stretchin'
Still breaking in these new shoes
Looking for a way to make a mark of my own
I'm just a spring chick, wet behind the ears
It's a part of life so there's no need to fear
These growing pains that I'm going through
I don't regret, I'm not ashamed that I haven't yet begun to speaketh ways...
(As the wisest of men), oh perhaps some day
But for now I'm grateful to be a part of the family tree,
while The Man upstairs does His work on me
It's a job that may take eternity to complete
Pre-chorus
Just when I've learned all I can, those growing
pains up and kick on in again!
Chorus
Bridge
Time after time, one more time and again, will it ever end?
It's the lessons in our lives that make us wise
But young or old I am told it's the same
Oh, these growing pains never go away, so I'll just keep on trying
Music break
1st pre-chorus
Chorus
Oh, baby don't worry about a thang!
^^ TOP
I turn my head, there's nothing there
All I own is my thoughts for my fears
I close the door to keep out the bad
I plug my ears to keep out these fears
And I cry...
So hold me close for I'm so tired of holding myself
So very tired and tired, tired and tired
Just hold me. (Repeat)
As I lie upon this little girls bed
Who's at the door? Who's walking near? Or has my imagination spilled?
This little girl all grown up still fears
Oh and I cry!
Chorus 2x
Where can I go where can I hide from these evil sufferings?
Oh these images painted on my walls
They say there's a place that I can hide in the shadow of your wings
Oh Lord, bring me to this place of refuge
No more tears.
Chorus 4x

Spit
(Katy Hudson/David Browning) If You came by me would I crown You my King
Or brush You off as though I really didn't see
If You walked by my side would our souls then be unified
I swore Your name would never be denied
But I took up this hammer
And laughed at all Your slander
And pierced Your hands With the nails of blasphemy
How could I do this? I don't know
Said something forced me to it, so
Spit in Your face and passed You by
(I'd forgotten those words, "Your name won't be denied")
But time and time again I'd live that life of sin
I knew it hurt You bad but I wasn't ready to give in
"Maybe someday but not this day," I said
I wanted to live my life I was willing to pay the price
But looking into my eyes I knew You felt this heart's cry
I needed You bad my life was oh so sad
But looking back at all this pain, this guilt, this strife
Would you take it all away if I were to give You back my life?
But You said, "I've forgiven thee"
And You said, "I've forgiven thee" (repeat)
He was hanging on a cross
With a crown of thorns in His head (repeat)
But You said, "I've forgiven thee"
And You said, "I've forgiven thee" (repeat)
^^ TOP
Faith Won't Fail
(Katy Hudson/Mark Dickson)
And I won't be burned
For my faith is your desire
And your love endures
You could throw me in the prison cell
Shackle me up against the rail
But time and time again
My faith won't fail (repeat)
For He'll prevail
In the midst of all my trials and tribulations
And He'll prevail
In the midst of all my sin and temptations
He'll prevail
When I fail and He will pick me up
For time and time again My faith won't fail (repeat)
You could throw me in the lion's den
But they won't harm me
For Your grace surrounds me
And it sets me free
And I can walk upon the water
And I will not drown
For my eyes are set upon You
And no one can bring me down
Chorus
For His angels surround me
And you've poured out this blood covering
And I will walk and not fail
For time and time again My faith won't fail (repeat)
Chorus (repeat)

Naturally
(Katy Hudson/Scott Faircloff)
Living alone?
By the banks of your dilemma
Out of control
No one seems to give the answers that you wanna hear
What you'd give to find a welcome here
Miles and miles of lies behind you
Those were the days
So many lives you'd hope would guide you
Help you find a way
Now it seems to your surprise that they left you lying here
What you'd give to dry these bitter tears
Did it come naturally?
You a million miles from home
When you tried so carefully
To live a life that's not your own
Always remember that it wasn't that long ago
I stilled the oceans
I moved the mountains
To say I love you
Heaven waits, the hours of silence
Finds you on your knees
Broken in a sweet surrender
Of peace
All the years of searching for a love you didn't know
Now you've finally found a welcome home
Chorus
Music break
Bridge
I love you, I have and I always will.
Chorus 2x ^^ TOP
When There's Nothing Left
(Katy Hudson)
You more than I ever gave before
When there's nothing left left to say
I'll say it all again, but until then...
And I'll give You my heart, say I love You, say I love You
And I'll give You my heart, say I love You, oh, 'cause I do, Jesus
No music to play so I sing You my own song
Come on and sing along
When there's nothing that remains
You still stay the same
You're looking so strong
When there's nothing left to give
I will give You more than I ever gave before

Love Can Stand On His Own
(Katy Hudson)
About the boy from Bethlehem
Story of a kid who would change
The world with the palm of his hand
So bring me some toast before you go
Because I'm beginning to see that the story is quite okay
Cuz I've seen movies, and I wear the shirts
But what does this story really say
From my love didn't come from fantasy
Or to play glamorous roles, for the
Company man that we've all made him out to be
Is not what the story has told
So entertain me if you want to
But I've heard it all
If you feel the need to say more than what's been said
But I'm sure Love can stand on His own
But I'm sure Love can stand on His own
Still she sings her top 20
About the boy she doesn't even know
Written by a man they call money
He's winning birds while saving souls
It's of the man, the marketing plans
And a new Mercedes for his 17 year old wife
He's really diggin' on the girl with the top 20
Ain't it funny
For my Love didn't come to win Grammys
Or to be the king of rock n' roll, for the
Company man that we've all made him out to be
Is not what the story has told
So entertain me if you want to
But I've heard it all
If you feel the need to say more than what's been said
But I'm sure Love can stand on His own
Oooh, entertain me if you want to
I'm sure Love can stand on His own
I'm sure Love can stand on His own
Love can stand on His own
So turn your eyes from the glow
And remember the Son

Box
(Katy Perry/Glen Ballard/Matt Theissen)
And no messages can reach me from the outside
When I looked out over the horizon
Didn't notice the sun was setting or just rising
Then it hit me, maybe bit me
Then I knew, quite a few would not go with me
I didn't know exactly where I would be going
But I had to let this river in me flowing
What a ride
When you open your eyes
For the very first time
A real surprise
I started living outside of the box
Crossing over lines where I always used to stop
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive
I was living on a fault line, the fault was all mine
And this unstable ground found me down half the time
But I had enough, I had to get up
I had to shrug it all off 'cause it's the same old stuff
Then it hit me, you won't permit me
To be an individual just doesn't fit me
But I decided that it's going to be living
Yeah, I decided I'm escaping from your prison
What a high
When you open your mind
For the very first time
A real surprise
I started living outside of the box
Crossing over lines where I always used to stop
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive
So long conformity
And ambiguity is a new priority
All it takes, for heaven sakes
Is to figure out the face and learn to separate
I started living outside for the box
Taking my time when I always used to rush
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I broke down the walls for my liberation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive
Oh, living outside of the box
Oh, living outside of the box
Oh, living outside
Ha ha ha
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
Oh, living outside of the box, of the box, of your life
Of everything that seems that nice
Simple
(Glen Ballard, Katy Perry)
I wish I could be Wesley Willis
My words would flow like honey
Sweet and laid on thick
You're so edgy
You don't even need a rhyming dictionary
I wipe my hands on your jeans
Cause they are more distressed
So they say you've got OCD
And they claim you can barely read
But you say don't bother me with all of your reality
But it could be so simple
(you were thinking)
Life should be that simple
(Who would have thought it)
I wish it were just so simple
(don't know what you were thinking)
But the point's been missed
You've made a mess
Who would have guessed
That it's as simple as it seems
So what, you're a genius
But you've got a lot to learn
Like the time you lost your apartment
Cause you bought too much Vuitton
You park in a loading zone
You sleep with the lights all on
You cross your i's and dot your t's
All it goes to show
That it could be so simple
(you were thinking)
Life should be that simple
(Who would have thought it)
I wish it were just that simple
(don't know what you were thinking)
The point's been missed
We've made a mess
Who would have guessed
That it's as simple as it seems
I'm not saying that it's a piece of cake
Just take a moment to reevaluate
The possibilities
The situations
The opportunities
That are waiting
Oh, the possibilities
Oh, I
It could, it could be that simple
(you were thinking)
Life should be that simple
(Who would have thought it)
I wish it were just so simple (don't know what you were thinking)
You're in a haze
It's just a phase
You know this maze
Is as simple as it seems
We could talk all day
About your eccentricities
What I mean to say
Oh, is that I need you listen please
And focus on life's simplicities
So don't be afraid to strip it away
Cause at the end of the day
It's still as simple as it seems
It is all so simple
Just deal with it
Cup Of Coffee
(Katy Perry, Glen Ballard, Matt Thiessen)
A bit too fast
Trying to leave you
In my past
The CD skips
Our favorite songs
Our greatest hits
Just don't belong
I really love
To hate this
Love hate
Hate love relationships
Are over-rated
Over my dead body
Is how this will end
He said it's over
And I could go for
Another chance to do
This over again
So this is it?
After all
We've been through
We call it quits
And-a I'm about to
Wash my prints
Oh
The little I had left
He said it's over
And I could really go
For a cup of coffee
And an overdose
Leave it all behind me
You'll see it
When you finally find me
Comatose or pretty close
Cover up copy
And an overdose
I pop these pills
Like cracker jacks
And the price
That plays dice
Just watching you react
When your depressed you
Sleep too much
I'm not sure
If I'm waking up
It's over rated
Over my dead body
Is how this will end
You said it'd over
And I could go
For another chance to do
This over again
So this is it?
After all
We've been through
We call it quits
And-a I'm about
To wash my prints
Oh
The little I had left
He said it's over
And I could really go
For a cup of coffee
And an overdose
Leave it all behind me
You'll see it
When you finally find me
Comatose or pretty close
Cup of coffee
And an overdose
He said it's over
And I could really go
For a cup of coffee
And an overdose
Leave it all behind me
You'll see it
When you finally find me
Comatose or pretty close
I stood in line
Without you
I stood in line
Without you
And I don't tell you
What it is
I thought about you
Well, without you
Is everything I've got

Okay To Believe
(Katy Perry/Glen Ballard/Matt Thiessen)
Forever changing you and me
Allow me to be ambiguous
Though I can't stand ambiguity
I'll beat around this burning bush
Trying to put the fire out
When all the shoving came to push
The words just stayed stuck in my mouth
'Cause it's okay to believe in something
It's alright to live your live for someone
Ba da da dum
It's okay to believe in something
It's alright to live your live for someone, yeah
Ba da da dum
So we might lose
But I'm glad I didn't leave
I wear my soul on my shoes
If not my heart upon my sleeve
If I'm not allowed to speak aloud
Of what you really mean to me
Then'll type it bold when I spell it out
I T S L O V E
'Cause it's okay to believe in something
It's alright to live your live for someone, yeah
Ba da da dum, oh, oh, oh
It's okay to believe in something
It's alright to live your life for someone, yeah
Ba da da dum, oh
So why do I hesitate for my cocoon to break?
Second guess every move that I make
(Second guess every move that you make)
This was big for us
Changing you and me
'Cause it's okay to believe in something
It's alright to live your live for someone, yeah
Oh, oh yeah
Oh, it's okay to believe in something
It's alright to live your live for someone, yeah
Ba da da dum
Oh, somebody tell me
It's okay to believe in something
It's alright to live your life for someone, yeah
Ba da da dum
Stand up for what you believe in
Take pride for who you are
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Stand up for what you believe in
Take pride for who you are
Yeah, yeah
Stand up for what you believe in
Take pride for who you are
Yeah, yeah

Diamonds
(Katy Perry/Glen Ballard/Matt Thiessen)
Deadlines to meet, a reputation to uphold
It's like a ton of bricks breaking on my back
It's like the force of gravity in full effect
I got money to burn and I'm on the sake
They bet their bomb on me 'cause I'm their ace of spades
I feel the walls getting closer
I'm like a bomb with all red wires
All this pressure, all this pressure
Maybe it means I'm gonna be
All this pressure, all this pressure
Maybe this means I'm gonna be
A diamond, it won't ever bend
A diamond, 'cause they're ladies, best friends
A diamond, but there, there has to be more
Than what these pirates are gambling for
If not for the push I'd probably be a pebble
If not for the pressure I'd be forgotten forever
Just another stone skipped upon the water
Drowning fast before the other failures
I don't wanna be a distant memory on your wall
Just another CD that you burned and never bought
Am I not worth it to you after all that drama
That we've been though?
All this pressure, all this pressure
Maybe it means I'm gonna be
All this pressure, all this pressure
Maybe this means I'm gonna be
A diamond, it won't ever bend
A diamond, 'cause they're ladies, best friends
A diamond, but there, there has to be more
Than what these pirates are gambling for
Ooh ooh, diamond
I've gotta be a diamond
(I'm a diamond in the sky)
(With you standing by)
(Now catch me if I fall)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah yeah yeah
All this pressure, all this pressure
Oh, I've gotta be, oh, I've gotta be
All this pressure, all this pressure
Oh, I've gotta be, oh, I've gotta be
I'm a diamond in the sky
With you standing by
Now catch me if I fall
Into the arms of a coma
All this pressure, I've got pressure
I'm gonna be a diamond, baby, I've gotta be a diamond
You're gonna see, I'm gonna be a diamond
Long Shot
(Katy Perry/Glen Ballard/Matt Thiessen)
The wire touched my neck and
Then someone pulled it tighter
I never saw it coming
I started to black out and
Then someone said good morning
I took it as a warning
I should have seen it coming
So now I'll take a chance on
This thing we may have started
Intentional or not I
Don't think we saw it coming
It's all adding up to something
That asks for some involvement
That asks for a commitment
I think I see it coming
If we step out on that limb
My heartbeat beats me senselessly
Why's everything got to be so intense with me
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability
It's a long shot and I say why not
If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat the odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take there's no chance
But you're the best I've got
So take the long shot
I realize that there is all this starting
That we're both scared about but
We'll never see them coming
Throw caution to the wind and
We'll see which way it's blowing
And to this pulling on
We'll never see it coming
Until it's much too close to stop
My heartbeat beats me senselessly
Why's everything got to be so intense with me
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability
It's a long shot and I say why not
If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat the odds
The chance is we won't make it but I know if I don't take it there's no chance
Cause I'm the best you've got
So take the long shot
What a pleasant surprise, what a breath of fresh air
You knock the wind out of me
Blind sided and so unaware
Ahaa, ahaa, ahaa
Oh I waited for fact to come of fiction
And you fit my description
I never saw you coming
But we'll make it even though
It's a long shot and I say why not
If I say forget it
I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat the odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it there's no chance
Cause you're the best I've got
So take the long shot
You didn't expect this
Oh you never saw me coming
You didn't expect this
Oh you never saw this coming
I take the long shot
I take the long shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot
Cuz you're the best I got
Oh I'm taking this chance on you baby
I'm taking this chance on you baby
I'm taking this chance

Fingerprints
(Katy Perry, Greg Wells) Voted most likely
To end up on the back of a milk box drink
Looks like I'm letting 'em down
'Cause $7.75
Isn't worth an hour of my hard work and time
When you can't afford half the shit they advertise
Oh I'm worth more than an ex
More than a toe-tagged generation full of regrets
Ohh I won't settle no oh
Oh I can't settle
I wanna break the mold
Wanna break the stereotype
Fist in the air
I'm not going down with out a fight
(Chorus)
It's my life
And I'm not sitting on the sidelines watching it
Pass me by
I'm leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints on you
Representing you and me
Don't you wanna go down in history
Rather than end up
Begging on the streets
Trading under-table favors
For a place to sleep
'Cause I'm worth more than this
So stop writing prescriptions for more Ritalin
I can focus my attention
I wanna break the mold
Wanna break the stereotype
Fist in the air
I'm not going down with out a fight
(Chorus)
It's my life
And I'm not sitting on the sidelines watching it
Pass me by
I'm leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints
Don't give up
Don't give in
Build your house on the rock
Oh not in the sand, in the sand, in the sand, in the sand
(Chorus)
It's my life
And I'm not sitting on the sidelines watching it
Pass me by
I'm leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
It's my life
And I'm not sitting on the sidelines watching it
Pass me by
I'm leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
'Cause I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints in the END
