Times are hard but we'll get through it Baby, don't worry your pretty little head It'll be alright Take a chance, roll your dice Tell me, what have you got to lose in this game we call life Sitting out on the balcony Little Sally's got a problem and she just can't see how to get around it and it's tearing her up inside So she falls to her knees and cries And then her Dear old mother steps outside to see what's wrong and Little Sally can't control her tears at all She tells her mother that she wants to erase today So she whispers into Sally's ear and says Times are hard but we'll get through it Baby, don't worry your pretty little head It'll be alright Take a chance, roll your dice Tell me, what have you got to lose in this game we call life Years later, Sally's got a baby girl This little gift from God has shown her a whole new world As her baby cries, she misses the old days but She looks into her baby's eyes and says Times are hard but we'll get through it Baby, don't worry your pretty little head It'll be alright Take a chance, roll your dice Tell me, what have you got to lose in this game we call life Sally's baby girl's all grown up Who knew parenthood could be so tough When you're on your own Just when life seems to get her down Sally holds her head to the clouds And remembers the words of her mother Times are hard but we'll get through it Baby, don't worry your pretty little head It'll be alright Take a chance, roll your dice Tell me, what have you got to lose in this game we call life Times are hard but we'll get through it Baby, don't worry your pretty little head It'll be alright Take a chance, roll your dice Tell me, what have you got to lose in this game we call life

Losing You 05:35
It’s cold outside The rain keeps falling and hitting my window pane It’s cold inside Even when I close my eyes I can still see the rain It’s dark out there I need you here with me to hold my hand And I’m afraid I might have to go out and look for you in the rain I can’t seem to get over, can’t seem to get over Losing you And I don’t wanna get over, don’t wanna get over you I don’t what else to do I’m losing you I can’t get out of my bed My pillow is drenched with the tears that you’ve caused me to shed I’m sorry if I’m making you feel bad I just want you to know how you made me feel when you left I can’t seem to get over, can’t seem to get over Losing you And I don’t wanna get over, don’t wanna get over you I don’t what else to do I’m losing you (I’m losing you) I can’t eat, I can’t sleep I need you here with me When you left, you took a part of me Can’t you see? I can’t seem to get over, can’t seem to get over Losing you And I don’t wanna get over, don’t wanna get over you I don’t what else to do I’m losing you I’m losing you

Clocks 02:48
Mind’s racing Feet pacing This blank page is taunting me Hand shaking Head’s aching My own thoughts are haunting me Time’s ticking, tick-tick-ticking away All I hear are the clocks in the back of my head (Speeding up, speeding up) I can’t figure this out now Time’s ticking, tick-tick-ticking away Analog clocks are lining the walls around me. It’s too late, I can’t fix it. There’s no way out. Reality Is washing over me I feel myself breaking down. Time should slow down. I’m losing faith now. I’ve let myself lose control. Time’s ticking, tick-tick-ticking away All I hear are the clocks in the back of my head (Speeding up, speeding up) I can’t figure this out now Time’s ticking, tick-tick-ticking away Analog clocks are lining the walls around me. It’s too late, I can’t fix it. There’s no way out.

Survive 02:49
Take me away Somewhere that no one will find me I need to get away (Get away) I need to leave this place Take me away I wanna feel like I’m free I need to feel (To feel) Something Run away with me (Aaaahhh) We’ll go someplace better than here And we’ll find ourselves (Ourselves) Right where we belong Run away with me (Aaaahhh) We’ll find a place to call our own I’ll follow you (Follow you) Until we’re all alone Oohhh Ohh Ohh I need to make it out alive Oohhh Ohh Ohh It’s only me I need to survive Lead the way for me (Ahhh) I’m lost with nowhere to go I can’t see anything I’m blinded by my fears Make this real for me (Ahhh) I need something to believe I can’t, I need To breathe Oohhh Ohh Ohh I need to make it out alive Oohhh Ohh Ohh It’s only me I need to survive (x2)

There’s a time when we all cry There’s a time when we just laugh the tears away We’re living for today because Tomorrow isn’t promised There’s always room for change Whether the sun is shining or we’re standing in the rain I know sometimes it seems like there is No chance for us to win. We’re hanging by a thread but Keep your head up, don’t surrender I promise Your day will come People come and people go That’s just how the world Teaches us to move on It makes us stronger We’re ready for battle We’ll be fighting ‘til the end I know you’re scared inside but trust me, You’ll make it I know sometimes it seems like there is No chance for us to win. We’re hanging by a thread but Keep your head up, don’t surrender I promise Your day will come Br: You can’t give up Just look into my eyes, You’ll see that I believe in you. Trust in me We’ll make it through together I promise You won’t fall I know sometimes it seems like there is No chance for us to win. We’re hanging by a thread but Keep your head up, don’t surrender I promise Your day will come

about

Yanii Marie Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

My name is Yanii Marie, and I'm an aspiring musician. I live through my music and I don't know where I'd be without it. Putting my music out here, I only hope to help people through their own lives.
If you absolutely had to compare me to someone, your best bet would be Angel Taylor or India Arie.. They're both so amazing, and their music influences me greatly.
