ALANA

Lyrics

Spiral up

Step back, step right back to peace of mind

(There's) Plenty of room to grow and many many places to go

Reap, child, reap a forest of wise laughs

Just when you feel it's all gone, there's plenty more where that came from

Spiral, spiral up to peace of mind

Plenty of room to grow, and many many places to go

Laugh it off

You can only plan so much (so much!)

And leave some space for what's to come (to come!)

You'll never know what your next step holds

Way too many startling gates to cross

Have you every stayed up all night (all night!)

Wondering when your thoughts will stop (will stop)

Problem solving ain't nowhere to be found

And you forget this crest shall pass

We'll laugh it off in a few months

You better lean on your hopes

If there's but one thing that has churned my world

is the illusion of control

You keep searching for a heartfelt home

Mother tongue starts to feel odd

Look at your feet, it's right there, child

You belong to your own path

Fall in lust

I'm ready to fall (hmm, hmm) in love with the world (hmm, hmm)

Cause in my darkest hours (hmm, hmm) I can still find aplomb (hmm, hmm)

I ain't bragging, it ain't bragging if it's true

Let me show you what I can do

I may take my time (hmm, hmm) but I always crack up (hmm, hmm)

At the big dirty joke (hmm, hmm) I find in being alive (hmm, hmm)

I can pick myself up (hmm, hmm) 3 jillion, zillion, bazillion times (hmm, hmm)

I'm ready to make you feel (hmm, hmm) what you're afraid to heal (hmm, hmm)

They used to be the kind of people

who wouldn't move or talk

Serious, restless, when they opened their mouths

they only quoted wise guys' words

They tapped into their self worth

They found value in their strokes

They realized quickly they can forge their worlds

and they can't stop now

Can't stop now

We gonna say it real loud

Laugh til we cry

We gonna make you people dance

Right here, right now it begins!

Can't stop now

Spoken part

Can't stop now (ad inf.)

Ending: Hey hey hey hey hey!

Make 'em Count

What in the world are we gonna do?

All, all, all, we can talk about it all, all, all

We can talk about it all, all, all …

All we can talk through it all

Don't waste it, don't you dare waste your time

We got a few decades left and it's up to us to make them count

52 weeks, 24 hours

60 fleeting seconds, the sand is running out.

All, we can talk about it all

Mentors and heroes, sisters and brothers

Fathers and mothers, friends will bury each

Get ready, we were all born to die

We got a few decades left and it's up to us (break!) to make 'em count !

All, we can talk about it all

Trop Forte

They snatched your smile

They dimmed your eyes

Pain took its toll on you

You were caught off guard

Merciless clouds

You chased the scent of printemps

The power of a plane

pleading “play your part”

Right timing, right timing's all you got

You are stronger than they think, reach your arms, you'll find mine

This divine mystery

comes with me everywhere I go

It can bless you or curse you

when you don't know which way to turn

A delay ain't a denial

and you'll swallow poison too

You'll need to see fire outside

to remember it's deep in you

Right timing, right timing's all you got

You are stronger than they think, reach your arms, you'll find mine

Y-O-K-A-T-T-A

Cold French nights

Trav'lin' light

I said “all you gotta do

is improvise”

Y-O-K-A-T-T-A

Careful what you ask for

You will get it at last

Something clicked

playing side by side

We just found a connection

We couldn't hide

Y-O-K-A-T-T-A

Careful what you ask for

You will get it at last

Songs of hope

Faites à la maison

Rooting in, rooting up

Under a tree, bathing in sunlight

Y-O-K-A-T-T-A

Careful what you ask for

You will get it at last

Roadtrips take us far

Books spilling off our hands

Smelling colorful sounds

jasmines and Joan of Arc

Y-O-K-A-T-T-A

Careful what you ask for

You will get it at last

No risk

Hmm, hmm, well, (laughter)

Dear Sam, you're tired, you lil' living dead

You keep naggin' 'bout society, but soon you'll be in it again

Dear Sam, what are you doing?

Can't you see you're a part of what you criticize?

Why did you go back to your comfort zone

Inside, you'll only find lies and what you despise

Hmm, hmm, well, (laughter)

Dear Sam, can't you see I'm here for you?

You're only doing what you ain't supposed to do

Coffee foam on your lips makes you feel alive

But you can't see you're slowly falling apart?

Get, get off the beaten roads, you can't take any more blows

Soon you'll be long gone, doubt is the only guarantee you'll make it through
