 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

Welcome to my earth
It's a crying shame
We have built a foolish world
Busy fighting, full of lying and denying
My ghosts are not gone
They dance in the shade
And gives the black core of my heart
Making words making sounds making songs

Now you can feel my heart spinning
You turn my whole life around
I want to write a new beginning
Let go of the ghosts
Let dreams and hopes lay
And give our love another try
Should we just let it be

Make love to me
My ghosts are not gone
They give the black core of my heart
Making words making sounds making songs

Now you can feel my heart spinning
You turn my whole life around
I want to write a new beginning
Let go of the ghosts
Let dreams and hopes lay
And give our love another try
Should we just let it be

We ain't nothing without love
Without love we ain't nothing
Without love without love
