Show Me Lyrics
Written By Mike Mantecon; Adapted By Sela Hafoka-Hauser
I’m such a stranger to myself
Let alone to everyone else
I want to be let free
But these chains are what I need
I’m such a danger to myself
Let alone to everyone else
I want to break through
But I don’t know what to do
Give me a sign; give me reason to go on
Part the waters that stand in my way
Give me a sign; before the sun sets
Before it gives end to the day
Somewhere in the shadows I lie
So alone, so afraid
Waiting in the darkness for a light
But all I see is the darkness of the night
Give me a sign; give me a reason to go on
Part the waters that stand in my way
Give me a sign; before the sunset
Before it gives an end to the day
Oh
I don’t want to be this way
I don’t want to live one more day
A stranger to myself
And everybody else
I know it’s not right
But I have no will to fight
Please take the worst of me
And finally set my soul free
Show me . . .

Let Me Breathe Lyrics
Written By Mike Mantecon; Adapted By Sela Hafoka-Hauser
In the quiet depth of night
When everything doesn’t feel quite right
Have you ever thought that all along
This isn’t the way that you belong?
In the eye of the storm they say
All other troubles get washed away
So why in the midst of this tragedy
Is it that I still can’t believe?
Breathe into me the breath of redemption
Change my world, by changing me
Oh, Take me away from the ways of yesterday
And open my eyes so I can see
Don’t let me waste another minute
Spending my day wasting away
Don’t let me do this to myself
Help me find a way
I can’t break through these walls alone
I want to believe that there’s someone guiding me
I don’t want to be here on my own
Yeah, open my eyes so I can see
Breathe into me, breathe in the breath of redemption
Change my world, by changing me
Take away the ways of yesterday
To open my eyes so I can see
Breathe, breathe, breathe . . .

Tempting Fate Lyrics
Written By Mike Mantecon; Adapted By Sela Hafoka-Hauser
Centuries have come and gone
With people waiting for the dawn
We are always tempting fate
Until we find that it’s too late
Oh, for the thrill, for the pain
For each of us to make our name
For the laughs, for the cries
For each moment passing by
For the thrill, for the pain
For the critical acclaim
Oh, we choose to live our lives this way
Not knowing the price that we must pay
We tempt our fate everyday
By living this way
We put ourselves on the line
Just to kill the time
We tempt fate everyday
To inspire something to say
After we’re gone
When the day comes
For the thrill, for the pain
For each of us to make our name

Behind The Mask Lyrics
Written By Mike Mantecon; Adapted By Sela Hafoka-Hauser
Let’s play a game, a game for fame
For the history books to remember our names
Let’s play the parts, disguise our hearts
And laugh as the world begins to fall apart
As the curtains close, who will know?
Whether the truth has been exposed
Or if the play was merely a façade
Met blindly with laughs and applause
What is true is what we never knew
What we feel never seems to be real
Laugh and cry until you die
And then maybe you’ll know the reason why
What’s hiding behind our mask?
That we put on every day
We never wonder, we never ask
And so the story stays the same
All that we believe, yeah
And all that we know
May just be the story of long ago
Every moment, every scene
Could just be a re-occurring dream
Observation will prove us wrong
When we’ve been blind all along
Does the play begin?
Does the story end?
Or does it just go over and over again
All that we believe
All that we know
What’s hiding behind the mask?
We never wonder, we never say, oh
