Lyrics from A-Z Lyrics:

"Next 2 You"
(feat. Justin Bieber)

[Chris Brown]
You’ve got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
That you keep that smile.

[Justin Bieber]
Yeah, you are my dream,
There’s not a thing I won’t do.
I'd give my life up for you,
'Cause you are my dream.

[Bridge]
And baby, everything that I have is yours,
You will never go cold or hungry.
I’ll be there when you’re insecure,
Let you know that you’re always lovely.
Girl, 'cause you are the only thing that I got right now.

[Chorus]
One day when the sky is falling,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

[Chris Brown]
If you had my child,
You would make my life complete.
Just to have your eyes on a little me,
That’d be mine forever.

[Justin Bieber]
That’d be mine forever.

[Bridge]
And baby, everything that I have is yours
You will never go cold or hungry
I’ll be there when you’re insecure
Let you know that you’re always lovely
Girl, 'cause you are the only thing that I got right now

[Chorus]
One day when the sky is falling,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

[Bridge]
We’re made for one another
Me and you
And I have no fear
I know we’ll make it through

One day when the sky is falling
I’ll be standing right next to you
Ohh ohh ohh ohhhhh

[Chorus]
One day when the sky is falling,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

Oh nah nah
Oh yeah
Stand by my side
When the sky falls
Oh baby
I’ll be there

You’ve got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
To keep you forever.

[EXPIRED] Free Song: "Adolescents" by Incubus [Amazon.com]

The free song from Amazon today is "Adolescents" from the new Incubus album If Not Now, When?  Click here to download.

Here are the lyrics (from AZ Lyrics):

"Adolescents"

I'm feeling out of bounds, out of bounds

I'm running out of time, out of time

I know there's no such thing as either of them

But its doesn't make me feel any better

Out of sight, out of mind

Out of sight, out of mind

We're out of time

We're out of mind

Out of mind

Out of mind

Yeah, yeah

I’m feeling overwhelmed, overwhelmed

It’s getting out of line, line, line

I know I’m not alone

Just adolescents, you and I

It doesn’t make me feel any better

Out of sight, out of mind

Out of sight, out of mind

We're out of time

We're out of mind

Out of mind

Out of mind

Yeah, yeah

Out of sight, out of mind

Out of sight, out of mind

We're out of time

We're out of mind

Out of mind

Out of mind

We're out of mind

Yeah 

My favorite Incubus songs are their "love songs" like "I Wish You Were Here," "Stellar," and "I Miss You."  Definitely bringing back high school memories!

[EXPIRED] Free Song: "Deer in the Headlights" by Owl City [iTunes]

iTunes is offering a free song from Owl City's latest album All Things Bright and Beautiful, which just released on Tuesday.  Click here to get "Deer in the Headlights" gratis (you will need to have iTunes installed and an iTunes account).

Adam Young explains the meaning behind the song in an interview with Christianity Today:

What's the story behind the new song "Deer in the Headlights"?

I enjoy writing largely from the imagination, and usually that produces rather abstract imagery. But with "Deer in the Headlights," I wrote a personal song that plays close to the chest in a way that no other song I've written ever has. I was ending a serious relationship at the time, and I was harrowed by the fact that so many people (specifically me) have a funny tendency to desire romance merely for the sake of avoiding loneliness, which ultimately means it's not about LOVE at all! Sometimes it's easy to be "blinded by the light" and forget all about what true romance is designed by God to be. When all you focus on are the warm fuzzies, a relationship can become dangerous and disastrous very quickly. So the song plays closely to the fact that I needed to pull myself out of the lights and remember what's more important than the romantic butterflies.

[EXPIRED] Free Song: "Little Shocks" by Kaiser Chiefs

Click here to stream and download "Little Shocks," the latest single from Brit rockers Kaiser Chiefs, for free.

From the review on the Guardian's music blog:

[T]he Kaisers are back with the first single from their as yet untitled fourth album. Good things you should know about Little Shocks: it doesn't feature any "la, la, la", "na, na, na" or "ruby, ruby, ruby" singalong bits, and though it has a chorus it's not as "festival friendly" as their previous singles. What it does have, however, is a fantastically creepy keyboard riff, some brilliantly off-kilter drumming from songwriter Nick Hodgson and the word "ruffian" in the first verse.

Free Song: "Crazy Yes Dumb No" by The Naked and Famous

Yep, another free song from The Naked and Famous!  The song "Crazy Yes Dumb No" is NOT on their "Passive Me, Aggressive You" album, which makes this deal even more special. :)

You can download the track in either of 2 ways:

1) Sign up for the band's email list.

2) "Like" their page on Facebook.

If you're a lyrics geek like me and want to know what a song is about before you get hooked on it, here are the words:

Come on boy just come 'round
I may be crazy but I'm not dumb
Why you looking so down, when you're so wired?
Why go into town? Come over to my house
Come on boy just come round
I may be crazy but I'm not dumb
I may be crazy but I am not too young to love you
I won't be fooled again

Oh no, Oh no-o-o-o

Come on girl just come 'round
I may be crazy but I'm not dumb
Why you looking so down, when you're so wired?
Why go into town? Come over to my house
Come on girl just come round
I may be crazy but I'm not dumb
I may be crazy but I am not too young to love you
I won't be fooled again

Oh no, Oh no-o-o-o

Then again, what's so bad about dying? (x3)

Come on boy just come 'round
I may be crazy but I'm not dumb
Why you looking so down, when you're so wired?
Why go into town? Come over to my house
Come on boy just come 'round
I may be crazy but I'm not dumb
I may be crazy but I am not too young to love you
I won't be fooled again

Oh no, Oh no-o-o-o

Three Free Modern Hymns

Modern hymn writers Keith and Kristyn Getty are offering 3 free songs for download.  Here's some of what they had to say about each song:

1. Behold the Lamb (Communion Hymn)

The “Communion Hymn” is a song we wrote for congregations to use during communion. The opening verse prepares us for what is to come, while the following two verses focus on the bread and the wine. The final verse is meant to be used during the time of response at the closing of a service.

2. The Power of the Cross

The hymn is essentially about the suffering of Christ. Through use of visual imagery, it asks us to consider some of the horrors the Lord endured on our behalf.

In addition to realizing the suffering Christ endured, the song also helps us understand what it means for Christ to "bear the weight of our sin"—to bring about our forgiveness.

3. Come, People of the Risen King

“Come People of the Risen King” is a call to worship, intended to unite our hearts in praise of the One who saved us and who invites us to come and rejoice in him.
