Unique By Alex Nester and Robby Robinson Oh I know as you go through life there is gonna be— competition And I know at time you’re just a’ gonna’ wanna’ let them win Oh but I also know that you ain’t getting nowhere through submission You are beautiful, intelligent, wonderful You’re unique—yes you are Ain’t nobody else like you—no, no, no… So hold on, stay strong, be true—it’s all a possibility Let the voice of your personality rattle the walls with pride Don’t agonize bout what might happen trust yourself You just have to believe there’s a world of brilliance radiating from inside You are beautiful, intelligent, wonderful You’re unique—yes you are Ain’t nobody else like you—not anywhere in this world So hold on, stay strong, be true—it’s all a possibility You are beautiful, intelligent, wonderful You’re unique Ain’t nobody else like you So hold on, stay strong, be true—it’s all a possibility I said hold on, stay strong, be true—it’s all a possibility

Key Of Truth 05:20
Key of Truth By Alex Nester and Robby Robinson When the clouds up there won’t go away Just can’t seem to find the day Need to feel that warmth up on your face today Remember that those clouds they lie Beyond them there’s a bright new sky Gotta’ take yourself and through them try to fly Play it in the key of truth—straightaway Play it in the key of truth—straightaway Carry out the journey to the end Follow where your faith extends Then you and your life can finally make amends Keep your head up face the undone Don’t you be stressing cause you already won Wherever you go you will bask in the light of the son Play it in the key of truth—straightaway Play it in the key of truth—straightaway Searching for honesty I find There’s just one reality The way, the truth, the life Answers and meaning in the promises found Morning is destined to come around Won’t live this life, won’t live it—not this one tied to the ground Seek the time, the place, the face The touch of the world it won’t leave a trace Then you won’t need no wings to ascend from this place Play it in the key of truth—straightaway Play it in the key of truth—straightaway
