MARIAH CAREY - lyrics
ABOUT
The best-selling female performer of the 1990s, Mariah Carey rose to superstardom on the strength of her stunning five-octave voice; an elastic talent who moved easily from glossy ballads to hip-hop-inspired dance-pop, she earned frequent comparison to rivals Whitney Houston and Celine Dion , but did them both one better by composing all of her own material. Born in Long Island, NY, on March 27, 1970, Carey moved to New York City at the age of 17 -- just one day after graduating high school -- to pursue a music career; there she befriended keyboardist Ben Margulies , with whom she began writing songs. Her big break came as a backing vocalist on a studio session with dance-pop singer Brenda K. Starr , who handed Carey 's demo tape to Columbia Records head Tommy Mottola at a party. According to legend, Mottola listened to the tape in his limo while driving home that same evening, and was so immediately struck by Carey 's talent that he doubled back to the party to track her down. After signing to Columbia, Carey entered the studio to begin work on her 1990 self-titled debut LP; the heavily promoted album was achart-topping smash, launching no less than four number one singles:"Vision of Love,""Love Takes Time,""Someday,"and"I Don't Wanna Cry."Her overnight success earned Grammy awards as Best New Artist and Best Female Vocalist, and expectations were high for Carey 's follow-up, 1991's Emotions . The album did not disappoint, as the title track reached number one -- a record fifth consecutive chart-topper -- while both"Can't Let Go"and"Make It Happen"landed in the Top Five. Carey 's next release was 1992's MTV Unplugged EP, which generated a number-one cover of the Jackson 5 's"I'll Be There"; featured on the track was backup singer Trey Lorenz , whose appearance immediately helped him land a recording contract of his own. In June 1993, Carey wed Mottola -- some two decades her senior -- in a headline-grabbing ceremony; months later she released her third full-length effort, Music Box , her best-selling record to date. Two more singles,"Dreamlover"and"Hero,"reached the top spot on the charts. Carey 's first tour followed and was widely panned by critics; undaunted, she resurfaced in 1994 with a holiday release titled Merry Christmas , scoring a seasonal smash with"All I Want for Christmas Is You."1995's Daydream reflected a new artistic maturity; the first single,"Fantasy,"debuted at number one, making Carey the first female artist and just the second performer ever to accomplish the feat. The follow-up,"One Sweet Day"-- a collaboration with Boyz II Men -- repeated the trick, and remained lodged at the top of the charts for a record 16 weeks. After separating from Mottola , Carey returned in 1997 with Butterfly , another staggering success and her most hip-hop-flavored recording to date. #1's -- a collection featuring her 13 previous chart-topping singles as well as"The Prince of Egypt (When You Believe),"a duet with Whitney Houston effectively pairing the two most successful female recording artists in pop history -- followed late the next year. With"Heartbreaker,"the first single from her 1999 album Rainbow , Carey became the first artist to top the charts in each year of the 1990s; the record also pushed her ahead of the Beatles as the artist with the most cumulative weeks spent atop the Hot 100 singles chart. However, the 2000s weren't as kind to Carey . After signing an 80 million dollar deal with Virgin -- the biggest record contract ever -- in 2001 she experienced a very public personal and professional meltdown that included rambling, suicidal messages on her website; an appearance on TRL where, clad only in a T-shirt, she handed out Popsicles to the audience; and last but not least, the stupendously awful movie Glitter and its attendant soundtrack (which was also her Virgin Records debut). Both the film and the album did poorly critically as well as commercially, with Glitter making just under 4 million dollars in its total U.S. gross and the soundtrack struggling to make gold sales. Following these failures, Virgin and Carey parted ways early in 2002, with the label paying her 28 million dollars. That spring, she found a new home with Island/Def Jam, where she set up her own label, MonarC Music. In December, she released her ninth album, Charmbracelet , which failed to become a success. Although she took nearly three years for a follow-up, Carey found a hit with 2005's The Emancipation of Mimi, her most successful record in years.

HERO
There's a hero if you look inside your heart. You don't have to be afraid of what you are. There's an answer if you reach into your soul and the sorrow that you know will melt away. And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive. So, when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you. It's a long road when you face the world alone; No one reaches out a hand for you to hold. You can find love if you search within yourself and the emptiness you felt will disappearrrr. And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive. So, when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you. Lord knows dreams are hard to follow, But don't let anyone tear them away. Hold on, there will be tomorrow, In time you'll find the way. And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive. So, when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you. That a hero lies in youuuuuuuuuu. That a hero lies in youuuuuuuuuu. ohhh that a hero lies in youuu.

You look in my eyes and I get emotional inside I know it’s crazy, but you still can touch my heart And after all this time you think that I wouldn’t feel the same But time hasn't done nothing, nothing has changed I still believe Someday you and me Will find ourselves In love again I had a dream Someday you and me Will find ourselves In love again Each day of my life, I’m filled with all the joy I could find You know that I,I'm not the desperate type If there’s one spark of hope left in my grasp, I'd hold it with both hands It’s worth the risk of burning, to have a second chance No, no, no, no, no, no, I need you, baby I still believe that we can be together, no… If we believe that true love never has to end Then we must know that we will love again, Mmm.. I still believe Someday you and me Will find ourselves In love again (Oh, baby, yeah) I had a dream You and me Will find ourselves In love again I still believe (Ooh, baby, I do) Someday you and me (Just give me one more try) In love again I had a dream (I miss your love) Someday you and me Will find ourselves In love again I still believe Someday you and me(will find ourselves in love..)

THROUGH THE RAIN
When you get caught in the rain With nowhere to run When you’re distraught And in pain without anyone When you keep crying out to be saved But nobody comes And you feel so far away And you just can't find you way home you can get there alone it's okay once you say I can make it through the rain I can stand up once again On my own and I know That I’m strong enough to mend And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith And I live one more day And I make it through the rain And if you keep falling down Don’t you dare give in You will arise safe and sound So keep pressing on steadfastly And you’ll find what you need to prevail Once you say I can make it through the rain I can stand up once again On my own and I know That I’m strong enough to mend And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith And I live one more day And I make it through the rain And when the wind blows And shadows grow close Don’t be afraid There’s nothing you can’t face And should they tell you You’ll never pull through Don’t hesitate Stand tall and say Yeah yeah yeahhhh I can make it through the rain I can stand up once again On my own and I know That I’m strong enough to mend And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith And I live one more day And I make it through the rain I can make it through the rain Can stand up once again And I'll live one more day, and I I can make it through the rain Oh yes you can You’re gonna make it through the rain.

WE BELONG TOGETHER
Verse 1: oh oh sweet love [yeah] I didn’t mean it when I said I didn’t love you so I should have held on tight I never should have let you go I didn’t know nothing, I was stupid, I was foolish I was lying to myself I couldn't of fathomed that I would ever be without your love Never imagined I’d be sitting Here beside myself Guess I didn’t know you Guess I didn’t know me But if I knew everything. I've never felt Pre-Chorus 1 The feeling that I’m feeling Now that I don’t hear your voice Or have your touch and kiss your lips Cause I don’t have a choice Or what I wouldn’t give To have you lying by my side Right here, cause baby Chorus 1 When you left I lost a part of me It’s still so hard to believe Come back baby please cause We belong together Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone Till the sun comes up Who’s gonna take your place there ain't nobody better Oh baby baby We belong together Verse 2 I can’t sleep at night When you are on my mind Bobby Womack’s on the radio Singing to me “If You Think You’re Lonely Now” Wait a minute this is too deep [too deep] I gotta change the station So I turn the dial tryin’ to catch a break And then I hear Babyface I Only Think Of You it's breakin’ my heart I’m tryin’ to keep it together but I’m falling apart bridge I’m feeling all out of my element Throwing things, Cryin tryin To figure out where the hell I went wrong The pain reflected and this song Ain’t even half of what I’m feeling inside I need you, need you back in my life baby Chorus 2 When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby please come We belong together Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough Who's gonna talk to me on the phone Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place When there ain't nobody better Oh baby baby We belong together baby Outro When you left I lost a part of me It’s still so hard to believe Come back baby please cause We belong together Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough Who’s gonna talk to me till the sun comes up Who’s gonna take your place There ain’t nobody better Oh baby baby We belong togetherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
