Time Will Tell (Carter-Hamzem)
Time will tell, what time can do do
You’re killing time, times killing you
Another day is on this way
No more to say
Time will tell just were you are
Stand still going far
I can see you always be
A part of me
Think about the future
And what it has in store
Don’t hang around and waist your time
It’s not worth waiting for
Every time you wake up
Go out and greet the sun
A smile can help you through the day
When all is said and done
Oh give a little time
To the people you that you meet
Give a little love and in return
I know the’ll learn
To give it back to you
Time will tell, tell the truth
You’ll never find eternal youth
But I can see you’ll always be a part of me
When you reach the future
Don’t look into the past
All the thinks that happened then
Have disappeared so fast
Now is then and then is now
It all goes round and round
What you fell inside your self
Already has been found
Oh give a little love
To the people you that you meet
Give a little time and in return
I know the’ll learn
To give it back to you
Time can tell you
Who you are
And time can reach so far

If I Hadn’t Been Born (Carter-Hamzem)
I’m a singer of the songs for the socially smeared
I’m a weaver of words for the woefully weird
I’m a teller of tales for the tragically torn
Would it be any different if I hadn’t been born
I’m a helper and a healer at the heartbreak hotel
I’m a saviour of souls that the sellers can’t sell
I’m the musical mouthpiece of the mothers who mourn
Would it be any different if I hadn’t been born
Oh Oh Oh if I hadn’t been born
I’m a dealer in dreams for the desperately down
Like the kindly old king with the crumbling crown
The ways of the world grow weary and worn
Would it be any different if I hadn’t been born
Bridge
Have I got the answer
I don’t think I have
I’m just telling my story in rhyme
Is it true or false
Does it matter at all
It will all became clearer in time
Now the world that we witness is wasting away
Can a dream make a difference at the dawn of the day
The sceptics can swear and the cynics can scorn
Would it be any different if I hadn’t been born
Oh Oh Oh If I hadn’t been born (4x)

You Gotta Have Sunshine (Carter-Hamzem)
Take a look around you
See what’s going on
Some people are happy
But there is always the lonely one
Somedays you walk with your had held high
Sometimes you look at the ground
One day you fell singing the blues
Next day it’s smiles all around
You gotta have sunshine
You gotta have rain
You need a little happiness
You need a little pain
Everybody gotta shed a tear
Appreciate the good
So when somebody needs a helping hand
You do what you know you should
Oh… (3X)
(Portuguese)
A vida eh cheia de surpresa
O amanha o que sera
caminho so com a certeza
Seja perder ou pra ganhar
Verdade ou mentira
Nao sei em quem acreditar
Dificil e passar o tempo
Sem saber onde vai dar
Pode brilhar o sol dentro de voce
E a nuvem um dia pode aparecer
alegria e dor, seja la o que for
subir e descer, importa e viver
You gotta have sunshine
You gotta have rain
You need a little happiness
You need a little pain
Everybody gotta shed a tear
Appreciate the good
So when somebody needs a helping hand
You do what you know you should
Oh… (3X)

Do You Remember Me (Hamzem-Carter)
Hey there, I shouldn’t be here
But I couldn’t stand it another year
Oh no, Oh no, Do you remember me
Hey there I know it’s late
But I haven’t seen you since you were eight
Oh no, Oh no, Do you remember me
And oh how I cried that night
And no one ever knew
And oh my heart died that night
The night of loosing you
But what else could I do
Hey there, have you had a good life
Married now with a lovely wife
Oh yes, she looks fine, do you remember me
But hey now, don’t turn and run
Can I please, please call you son
Oh yes, oh please, do you remember me
And oh how I cried that night
And no one ever knew
And oh my heart died that night
The night of loosing you
But what else could I do
Hey there, do you see your mom
Did she tell you the things I’ve done
Oh yes, I bet, I remember her
Hey there, you’re looking sad
Can you bare to call me dad
Oh yes, please God, please remember me
Please remember me

Close The Door Behind You (Hamzem-Carter)
I met a woman and I feel in love
Trouble is I’m a married man
I kept it a secret for all of this time
At least I thought I had and that was my plan
But lately I’ve been thinking that something must change
I told her I was leaving and she looked at me so strange
She got up so slowly and took a deep breath
And this is what she said to me
Close the door behind you
Take out the trash as you go
So now you tell me you’re leaving
But don’t think that I didn’t know
All that lying and cheating
I don’t need to take that no more
Now it’s all over and done with
So please close the door
I never thought would end up this way
I was sorry to hurt her but I just couldn’t stay
I waited for the teardrops but they just didn’t come
And this is all she said to me
Close the door behind you
Take out the trash as you go
So now you tell me you’re leaving
But don’t think that I didn’t know
All that lying and cheating
I don’t need to take that no more
Now it’s all over and done with
So please close the door

Let’s Go To San Francisco
Let’s Go To San Francisco
Where the flowers grow so very high
The sunshine in San Francisco
Makes your mind grow up to the sky
There were lots of sunny people
They will walking, waking hand in hand
They weren’t funny people
They have found their land
Let’s Go To San Francisco
Where the flowers grow so very high
The sunshine in San Francisco
Makes your mind grow up to the sky
Let’s Go To San Francisco
Let the wind blow through your hair
Go down to San Francisco
You gotta see that love grow
On people there

Stormy Waters (Carter-Hamzem)
We will sail through stormy waters
But we’ll always reach the shore
We can calm those stormy waters
As our love grows more and more
Oh- Oh (Harmony section)
Portuguese
Nesta jornada
Posso subir ou descer
Mas com voce consigo vencer
O nosso amor e forte
que vai nos proteger
Da tempestade que vamos viver
We will walk down desert highways
And the sun will burn our face
But we’ll always be together
Till we find our resting place
Oh- Oh - stormy waters

Worlds Will Never Do (Carter-Hamzem)
I can’t say a thousand words
All of them are true
But nothing means the way I fell
Words will never do, no words will never do
Through the years we had a dream
A dream that grew and grew
I could tell you many tales
But words will never do, no words will never do
For many stars we wrote a song
And watched it climb the charts
And songs can live for ever more
And always touch your heart
When I think of all those days
The laughter and the tears
And the faith in what we did
Grew stronger through the years
So here’s a song that’s meant for you
The words are just a few
But you can feel the love we send
Oh words will never do
No, words will never do

Hold On To Your Love (Carter-Hamzem)
When the sun goes to your house tonight
And the kids are all asleep
Tell your woman that you really care
With a love that feels so deep
Take her in your arms and hold her tight
Wipe the teardrop from her eye
Let her know that everything’s alright
And she doesn’t need to cry
You gotta hold on to your love tonight
Tell her that she is the only one
You gotta hold on till the morning light
Or one day you’re gonna wake up
and you’re gonna find her gone
Try to understand the way she feels
When you’re out till late at night
Let her know that there is no-one else
And everything will be alright
Make her know that your loves is strong
And she means everything to you
Thought the good time sand through the bad
And everything you do
You gotta hold on to your love tonight
Tell her that she is the only one
You gotta hold on till the morning light
Or one day you’re gonna wake up
and you’re gonna find her gone
