Don't believe in all that you've been told
The sky's the limit you can reach your goal
No-one knows just what the future holds
There ain't nothing you can't be
There's a whole world at your feet
I said reach

Climb every mountain (reach)
Reach for the moon (reach)
Follow that rainbow
And your dreams will all come true

Climb every mountain,
Search high and low,
Follow every byway,
Every path you know.

Climb every mountain,
Ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow,
'Till you find your dream.

A dream that will need
All the love you can give,
Every day of your life
For as long as you live.

How did I know you were going to post that one?

Follow your dream
The courage found within
Your soul is keeping you so strong
That you could rise each time you fall
And stand up on your own
This time you won't go wrong
Just give your best to hold your will
Persistently, become the one
You've always aimed to be

Long ago and far away, I dreamed a dream one day
And now, that dream is here beside me
Long, the skies were overcast, but now the clouds have passed
You're here at last.

Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you.

Long ago and oh so far away
 I fell in love with you before the second show
 Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
 But you're not really here
 It's just the radio

 Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
 You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
 Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, I love you I really do

Long ago,
High on a mountain in Mexico
Lived a young shepherd boy, Angelo
Who met a young girl and he loved her so

Rich was she,
Came from a very high family,
Angelo knew it could never be,
They ran away to their destiny

South of the border, down Mexico way.
That's where I fell in love where stars above, came out to play.
And now as I wonder, my thoughts ever stray.
South of the border, down Mexico way.

She was a picture, in old Spanish ways.
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile, upon her face.
For it was fiesta, and love had it's day.
South of the border, down Mexico way.

Blue Spanish eyes
 prettiest eyes in all of Mexico.
 True Spanish eyes, please smile for me once more before I go.
 Soon I'II return, bringing you all the love your heart can hold.
 Please say: si si...
 say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me.

Oh this year I'm off to Sunny Spain Y Viva Espana
I'm taking the Costa Brava 'plane Y Viva Espana
If you'd like to chat a matador, in some cool cabana
And meet senoritas by the score, Espana por favor

Quite by chance to hot romance I found the answer
Flamenco dancers are by far the finest bet
There was one who whispered oh hasta la vista
Each time I kissed him behind the castanette
He rattled his maracas close to me
In no time I was trembling at the knee

(My turn to be predictable)

And we paddled our feet,
And we watched all the swimmers,
And my holiday treat felt complete.
We drank lemonade,
And we sat in the shade,
I thought I must be on a winner
And I acted cool and discreet.
For I knew that Lavinia
Was the shyest lady that I'd ever met,
And I knew that Lavinia
Would only be my lady for the week.

It was just a holiday romance
A simple holiday romance.
I wonder should I take this chance?
Just a holiday romance.

A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
I might as well play bridge
With my old maid aunt
I haven't got a chance
This is a fine romance.

Again, me being predictable and we've had this before but not for a while I think.
I looked on earlier pages of this thread and replies were more subtle than the obvious; maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to go back to that with tenuous associations? In a bit of time.

You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your
Kiss,
Oh oh

You light the skies, up above me
A star, so bright, you blind me, yeah
Don't close your eyes
Don't fade away, don't fade away, oh
Yeah, you and me, we can ride on a star
If you stay with me, girl
We can rule the world
Yeah, you and me, we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world.

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you

Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the

Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

I love Tears for Fears, Trent!

I'm the boss
I'm the boss
And just in case I didn't get my point across

Of a whole 'nother castle
Ain't no princess inside
Ain't nobody gonna come and find me
I got mad reptilian pride

If you wanna step in my kingdom
I got a real nice surprise
Ain't nobody see me coming
Even if you've got special eyes
Of a whole 'nother castle
Ain't no princess inside

Me too, but I love 10cc more:

I wanna be a boss
 I wanna be a big boss
 I wanna boss the world around
 I wanna be the biggest boss
 that ever bossed the world around

 I wanna do it right
 I wanna do it right away
 I wanna do it right now
 I wanna do it right away
 I wanna do it now

Well good morning Judge, how are you today
I'm in trouble, please put me away
A pretty thing took a shine to me
I couldn't stop her so I let it be
I couldn't stop her so I let it be
I couldn't stop her so I let it be
I couldn't stop her so I let it be

He didn't do it, he wasn't there
He didn't want it, he wouldn't dare

You made me love you
I didn't want to do it
I didn't want to do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it.

You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
But there were times
You made me feel so bad.

Left alone just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel
 
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, oh believe me

I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray
Some one will come to show the way
I believe, I believe

I believe above the storm the smallest prayer
Will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word
Every time I hear a new born baby cry
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
I believe, I believe.

One Chance One Moment One Life
Some Pain More Scaring Over Night
That Future Dream Where Your Money Looking Right
That Future Dream When Everybody One Your Side
One Chance One Moment One Life
Some Pain More Scaring Over Night
That Future Dream Where Your Money Looking Right
That Future Dream The Way You Wanna Live Your Life
So Come On!

Let Go Of Yesterday

Once the clock strikes twelve
Yesterday is consigned to history
The yearning hand reaches backwards
Grasping the security blanket of yesterday
Today is already rushing on a pace
But the spectre of yesterday survives
Its ectoplasmic grasp weak but still palpable
Yesterday will be fixed in time as a fly in amber
It will remain unchanged despite our regret or longing
Forward facing we must walk through today
To reach the future promised by tomorrow
Reluctantly unclasping hands we let go of yesterday.

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the man (2018 - "person") I used to be.
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you beside you
To guard you and to guide you
