I Walk Alone is a song by American recording artist Cher and the fourth single from her twenty-fifth studio album, Closer to the Truth. Written by fellow pop Singer Pink, who also contributed backing vocals, it was produced for the album by Billy Mann and MachoPsycho. "I Walk Alone" was sent to UK pop radio stations in early 2014 as a promotional single. Simultaneously to the start of Cher's Dressed to Kill Tour, the song got serviced to US dance clubs and radio stations, and an extended play featuring nine dance remixes of "I Walk Alone" was released to digital retailers on April 25, 2014.

The song has been praised for its lyrical depth, exploring themes such as self-empowerment and independence. Musically, it showcases a rather experimental sound, mixing elements of both country and dance-pop with instruments such as a banjo alongside EDM beats. It reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

There's a poet in me that remembers

And there's an honesty in every word

There's a dancer that feels her own beat

And there's a daughter who loves

There's a sinner in my bones

And there's a joker in my head

There are secrets in my soul

And there are sorries that I have never said

But there's a time to dance

Time to laugh, time to cry

Time to go, time to grieve

Time to come

Oh, I still got time to cope

Time to hope, time to play

Time to grow

But for now I gotta walk alone

I gotta walk alone

There's a tight rope that I've been walking

There's a daisy in my hair

There's a heartbreak that has taught me

Of what is raging

And there's only love and fear

There's a sadness in my confessions

There's a hyena howling at the moon

And there's a gypsy in me that keeps on roaming

And there's a an anger as I get closer to the truth

But there's a time to dance

Time to laugh, time to cry

Time to go, time to grieve

Time to come

Oh, I still got time to cope

Time to hope, time to play

Time to grow

But for now I gotta walk alone

I gotta walk alone

I gotta walk alone

I've got to walk alone

But for now I gotta walk alone

Oh, I hear the thunder but I won't back down

A soldier marches through the wrong side of town

I'm gonna love you until I bleed

And that's the story of me

I gotta walk alone

If they say time is everything

But there's a time to dance

Time to laugh, time to cry

Time to go, time to grieve

Time to come

Oh, I still got time to cope

Time to hope, time to play

Time to grow

But for now I gotta walk alone

I gotta walk alone

I gotta walk alone

I gotta walk alone

For now I gotta walk alone.

Smile é uma canção composta por Charlie Chaplin originalmente em 1936, para seu filme, Tempos Modernos. Em 1954, John Turner e Geoffrey Parsons adicionaram letra à canção. Na letra, o cantor está dizendo para o ouvinte se animar e que há sempre um futuro brilhante, se ele apenas sorrir.

Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

The whispers in the morning

Of lovers sleeping tight

Are rolling like thunder now

As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body

And feel each move you make

Your voice is warm and tender

A love that I could not forsake

(first chorus)

'Cause I am your lady

And you are my man

Whenever you reach for me

I'll do all that I can

Even though there may be times

It seems I'm far away

Never wonder where I am

'Cause I am always by your side

(repeat first chorus)

(second chorus)

We're heading for something

Somewhere I've never been

Sometimes I am frightened

But I'm ready to learn

Of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating

Made it clear

Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on

Is light years away

(repeat first chorus)

(repeat second chorus)

"I Will Survive" is a hit song first performed by American Singer Gloria Gaynor, released in October 1978. It was written by Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris. A top-selling song after its initial release, it has remained a popular disco anthem, as well as being certified platinum by the RIAA.

The song's lyrics describe the narrator's discovery of personal strength following an initially devastating breakup. It received heavy airplay in 1979, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and on the UK Singles Chart on consecutive weeks. The song is also frequently recalled as a symbol of female strength and as a gay anthem. In 2016, the Library of Congress deemed Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side

Then I spent so many nights

Just thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And I learned how to get along

And so you're back from outer space

I just walked in to find you here,

With that sad look upon yourface

I should have changed that stupid lock

I should have made you leave your key

If I had known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me

Go on now go, walk out the door

Just turn around now

'Coz you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no not I, I will survive

For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give

I'll survive

I will survive

Hey hey

(I, I will survive)

Hey hey

(I, I will survive)

Every day

(I, I will survive)

Oh yeah

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Just trying hard to mend the pieces

of my broken heart

And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself

I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high

And you see me, somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person

still in love with you

And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free

But now I'm savin' all my lovin'

for someone who's lovin' me

Go on now, go walk out the door

Just turn around now

You're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no not I, I will survive

Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give

I'll survive

I will survive

Hey hey

Go now, go walk out the door

Just turn around now

'Coz you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no not I, I will survive

Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give

I'll survive

I will survive

I will survive

(I, I will survive)

Hey

(I, I will survive)

Every day

(I, I will survive)

Yeah yeah

(I, I will survive)

Oh

(I, I will survive)

I will survive

(I, I will survive)

(I, I will survive)

I've got all my love to give

(I, I will survive)

I've got all my life to live

(I, I will survive)

My loving is not in vain, oh no

(I, I will survive)

I will survive

(I, I will survive)

I will survive

(I, I will survive)

Hey

(repeat to end).
