My Number One – Lyrics by Aaron Hendra

My Number One

Daddy held on till the day he died

believed a man should never cry

grew up that way he lost that day

his hands were shaking as they lowered down

those precious bones into the ground

he still felt pride

but he knew inside

from the alter to the grave

she didn’t ever hear him say

you’re number one

more than anything

more than life to me

you’re my number one

so he went to school never came home

cause in his heart he felt all alone

like no one cared and people just stared

so he raised the gun and shot three rounds

and watched their lives fall to the ground

then he took his own

they never came home

from the cradle to the grave

he needed somebody to say

you’re number one

more than anything

more than life to me

my number one my number one

I’m ashamed to say it’s been awhile

since I told you how your pretty smile

lights up my day and if you went away

that my world would never be the same

and I thank God that he spoke your name

and gave you to me you’ll always be

my number one

more than anything

you’re more than life to me

my number one

more than just my heart

and I loved you from the start

my number one

Octobersong – Lyrics by Aaron Hendra

Octobersong

I hate LA in the winter it’s when all the buzz and glitter

goes home for the holidays

and the streets start to feel so lonely maybe it’s just me and I’m only

missing my own face again

It’s bad but it’s my weakness I’m not lost but I can’t keep this

devil down or tell it no

It’s like talking to a one-track imagination feels like a fast infatuation

I can’t hold on and I can’t let go

but my Octobersong keeps me hanging on to the face of Light

It’s all that matters anymore

my Octobersong with the angels I’ll pray and hold on

to the face of Light

It’s all that matters now my October

I know it takes determination but overnight feels like it’s taking

a thousand years since I hit the ground

I am west here facing Sunset I have learnt some things

I won’t soon forget

you gotta earn your scars in this angel town

but my Octobersong keeps me hanging on to the face of Light

It’s all that matters anymore

my Octobersong with the angels I’ll pray and hold on

to the face of Light

It’s all that matters now 

God help me to slow down my body is breaking

heal me somehow

these streets we have walked down tears they were paved with

look beautiful now so beautiful now

but my Octobersong keeps me hanging on to the face of Light

It’s all that matters anymore

my Octobersong with the angels I’ll pray and hold on

to the face of Light

It’s all that matters now 

maybe it’s the way we feel tonight on these old stale streets

I look in your eyes and I tell you

you’re all that matters anymore

maybe it’s the way we won’t lie down

keep on praying till I hear that sound

I tell you you’re all that matters now

my October

U – Lyrics by Aaron Hendra

U

I will live I would die

I will lay down my life for U

My heart beats for U

I will run I would crawl

I would stumble and fall for U

My heart breaks for U

to be my love be my guide be my shelter in the night

be my hope be my truth I will not forget U

I will live I would lie

I would break down and cry for you

My heart aches for you

Through the war through the rain

I will carry the blame for you

I’ll always wait

I’ll always wait for you

be my love be my guide be my shelter in the night

be my hope be my truth I will not forget U

And through all the days the sleepless nights

This old ragged heart to frail to fight

Will hold onto U till U are all I need

(Falsetto) U, U…

Be my love be my guide

Be my shelter, my shelter in the night

Be my hope be my truth

I will not forget U

And through all the days the sleepless nights

This old ragged heart to frail to fight

will hold on to U till U are all I need (U are all I need)

for as long as my feet walk on the ground

U

Alive – Lyrics by Aaron Hendra

ALIVE

You were the first day of my life 

You’re every hope in my try

You are the ring that’s on my hand

You are the answer to my why

You make me feel like I’m alive

You make me feel like I’m a man

You make me stronger than I am

You make me feel like I’m alive

You are the song that’s in my head

You are the dancer in my bed

You are my heart strung melody

Only you can play that part for me

You make me feel like I’m alive

You make me feel like I’m a man

You make me stronger than I am

You make me feel like I’m alive

I’m not sleeping you’re not either

This kind of dream could push a heart till it bursts

We’re on the way up but even if we don’t make it

We’re gonna make it

You make me feel like I’m alive

You make me feel like I’m a man

You make me stronger than I am

You make me feel like I’m alive

You make me feel like I can soar

You always leave me wanting more

You make me feel like I’m alive
