Learning How to Fly (Kashia Faumui)
Still stuck on the ground
At least I can’t go down
The only way is up
Still have to believe
I really want to achieve
I know it will be tough
Already on my way
Old me there’s no room to stay
I still need time to gear up for the flight
I’m on the edge of the cliff
Don’t let me go just yet
Oh please be patient
Cos I’m still learning how to fly, fly
I’ll never know if I don’t try, try
Cos I’m still learning how to fly, fly
I’ll never know if I don’t try, try
To fly away from here
I don’t really want to go
I’ll miss my family so
Why can’t we all just stay young?
But I have to take this step, in faith
The man upstairs has made, big plans for us
So many failed attempts
Too many hesitations
I must forget these doubts
Getting ready to spread my wings
Been told I’ll do great things
Gotta give it my all

I’m Going Crazy (Salale Faumui)
I’m going crazy
Somebody help me
I’m slowly losing my mind
Yeah Maybe I’m the problem
That I’m too blind to see
The guy that’s going crazy
Give him some sanity
That would help I know I’ve tried
It doesn't work on my mind
So what have you got to do, got to do
To change this mood?
I don’t know help please I’m going crazy
You know what you got to do, you trust in you
What has happened lately?
I’m just lazy or just crazy
Somebody help me
I’m going crazy
Somebody help me
I’m slowly losing my mind
This insanity is slowly killing me
Deep inside there’s nowhere to hide
Turn my back on things I know
I’ll try to change the past
But I know that it won’t work
Cause memories last
Got to think of a solution Pretty fast
Cause the insanity has got my mind in its grasp
So what have you got to do, got to do
To change this mood?
I don’t know help please I’m going crazy
You know what you got to do, you trust in you
What has happened lately?
I’m just lazy or just crazy
Somebody help me

Fun attitude

Fun Attitude (Koebi Faumui)
When your down and your feeling lonely
and those around you are feeling so blue
You try to keep it all together if only
to keep your mind from becoming confused
Oh but no life is not a bed full of roses
just keep on having faith in what you believe
without a doubt and without hesitation
a fun attitude is all you’ll need
When I think of all the contented people
and all the things they do from feeling sad
They seem so gay and so deliriously happy ha ha ha
from all the fun that they've ever had
Oh but no life is not a bed full of roses
just keep on having faith in what you believe
without a doubt and without hesitation
a fun attitude is all you’ll need
Don’t you always want to have a good feeling
to enjoy your time out in the sun
And when its cloudy and its dark and its gloomy
just stay out in the rain and have some fun
Oh but no life is not a bed full of roses
just keep on having faith in what you believe
without a doubt and without hesitation
a fun attitude is all you’ll need

Windows

Windows (Kashia Faumui)
Looking at a window, a reflection looks back at me
I see a little girl, the person I used to be
But years have flown by now, I just had my sweet sixteenth
Did I miss my window of opportunity, to be the best I could be?
Thoughts seem to escape from me, they fly away with the breeze
I hear of them later on, whistling through the trees
Looking out a window, sitting on my bed dreamily
Seeing faces in the clouds, closing the curtain on reality
Looking out a window, it’s a cold and rainy day
I think of those with no shelter, and no place to stay
Often I come home from my day, feeling tired and blue
But who am I to be ungrateful? To all my blessings I must be true
Thoughts seem to escape from me, they fly away with the breeze
I hear of them later on, whistling through the trees
Looking out a window, sitting on my bed dreamily
Seeing faces in the clouds, closing the curtain on reality
Looking through a window, way over the distant hills
I find a determined little lady, trying to change the world
She smiles back at me and tells me not to worry
She says, because it won’t be too long, before your dreams are reality
Thoughts seem to escape from me, they fly away with the breeze
I hear of them later on, whistling through the trees
Looking out a window, sitting on my bed dreamily
Seeing faces in the clouds, closing the curtain on reality

Changes

Changes (Salale Faumui)
Looking up at the sky thinking my oh my what could that be?
A cloud of somebody I used to know, somebody that used to be me
Some people think it’s right others think it’s wrong
about the change of your personality
It gets me confused all the time and makes me think
Have I changed for the better or for the worst
To be a blessing or a curse
Changes we go through everyday define who we are in the best possible way
I remember when I was just a little boy
Running down these floors with my little toys
I couldn’t even reach the handle of a door
but now I can do it lying on the floor
Some people think it’s right others think it’s wrong
about the change of your personality
It gets me confused all the time and makes me think
So I look back at history and all the changes of society
Through all the consequences and the accidents
I realise that the majority were for the best
So then I say

Away from you

Away from you (Koebi Faumui)
I’m sorry but I’m leaving soon
So all of those dreams of you and me go BOOM!
You thought we had a big future ahead of us
But now it’s time to get on the bus
and I know you thought we had it all
But love never turns out after all
So I guess it’s time to say goodbye
Because I ‘m leaving away from you
I remember that Monday morning
When I first saw your face
It was hard to describe
And from that moment
I thought we had it all
But they were just all lies
When you walked towards me
I started to freak out
And then you asked me out
I felt like one of those lucky girls
Who gets their boyfriends to buy them diamond pearls
But that was just a fairy tale

Miscommunication

Miscommunication (Kashia Faumui)
When you don’t know what to say
But you try anyway and you’re mistaken
When you try to make things right
But you leave it too late to press rewind
When the right words float around in your mind
But the wrong ones roll off your tongue
Break and sweat, make a mess
Have to walk away feeling unsatisfied
Miscommunication
It’s an uncurable disease
Miscommunication
Ooh it’s killing me inside
Miscommunication
I need a remedy, some therapy
Miscommunication
Miscommunication
When everyone thinks you’re perfect
But they have no clue about what goes on behind these walls
It seems they just don’t understand
Sometimes I ask myself am I the only one?
Tell me why, I try and try
It gets to the point where I feel like I wanna cry
It’s my downfall, my weakest link
Is it too late to fix the damage done
Ooh I know it’ll get better
But I really have to know whether
This is out of the ordinary
I guess I gotta keep my faith
I’m so close I can almost taste a cure

She was in my dreams

She was in my dreams (Koebi Faumui)
She was in my dreams,…. she was in my dreams
She was in my dreams,…. she was in my dreams
There was a girl I used to know
Who had big brown eyes and hair that flowed
She had a smile so sweet and a voice as smooth as gold
She liked all the clothes that I was in
And she followed me around like a Siamese twin
She played video games and she’d always let me win
Whenever I was lonely she would come around
And she would cheer me right up when I was feeling down
She would change my face to a smile right from a frown
She would know everything about carbine engines
She would learn to drive a car in her first two lessons
She would sprint the hundred metres in eleven point seven seconds
Then I wake up to the reality
That my dreams were just pure fantasy
Do I need help or some counselling?
Or can I keep on dreaming happily
She’d be the greatest mother that you ever did see
To our twenty four children that she’d have by threes
She’d return to a body of a goddess so quickily
And no matter what the time she was always radiant
In different situations she would show her resilience
And she wouldn't ask questions about my hygiene or my flatulence

My way

My Way (Salale Faumui)
Wake up look ahead there’s a new dawning
Get out of bed and get dressed for the morning
Then I think about what people say
What I wear and how I do things my own way
Now I’m going through my daily business
Feeling like Einstein yeah I’m a genius
Then someday come and ruin my mood
And now I’m not feeling so good
But I shouldn’t care what people say
Just keep going on through the day
Cause I’m just pretend it’s May
And keep running and do things my way
Don’t let nobody bring you down let you dreams keep flowing
Cause you the only one that can keep you going
So heed these from my lecture
Next thing you know you’ll be feeling better
But I’m no professor, I’m no Confucius
When it comes to that stuff I’m pretty useless
I don’t know what to say think or do
All I could do would tell the truth
Don’t get me wrong I do now something
That some people can come back from nothing
It’s about what you do say and think
If you listen right now you’ll find a link
To all your Problems and lil bad Habits
It’s an opportunity go ahead and grab it
And though it maybe not as easy as pie
At the end you can hold your head up high

Thank you

Thank you (Kashia Faumui)
Words are not enough to show my gratitude
So I put them to a tune and wrote a song for you
You gave me life, showed me its beauty
I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for me
Oh I know it’s not been easy for you both
The journey you’ve endured has been on a long and winding road
But look where we are now, I guess you made it through
Just stay strong and know that I will always love you
All my life you’ve been there every step, every day
When there are times I've lost hope you shine a light to find my way
If it were any other way I wouldn't be who I am
There’s so much more to say but this song’s come to an end.
All that I can say is Thank you.
