 | We were alone on the road driving faster So far from home we were chasing disaster Hard on the gas 'till the car caught on fire We had to laugh as the smoked billowed higher I wanna feel alive forever after And you say, you say you wanna feel alive forever after And I, and I, and I say Follow the light through the dreams and disasters Follow the light to the edge and the after We won't turn around, we will not slow down Follow the light through the dreams and disasters Think of the sun, and the sound of it rising Still on the run with our eyes on the horizon I wanna feel alive forever after And you say, you say you wanna feel alive forever after And I, and I, and I say Follow the light through the dreams and disasters Follow the light to the edge and the after We won't turn around, we will not slow down Follow the light through the dreams and disasters I just wanna feel alive I just wanna feel alive I just wanna feel alive I just wanna feel alive Follow the light through the dreams and disasters Follow the light to the edge and the after We won't turn around, we will not slow down Follow the light through the dreams and disasters |
 | From underneath the trees, we watch the sky Confusing stars for satellites I never dreamed that you'd be mine But here we are, we're here tonight Singing Amen, I, I'm alive Singing Amen, I, I'm alive If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died And I'm singing Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive And in the air the fireflies Our only light in paradise We'll show the world they were wrong And teach them all to sing along Singing Amen, I, I'm alive Singing Amen, I, I'm alive (I'm alive) If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died And as we lie beneath the stars We realize how small we are If they could love like you and me Imagine what the world could be |
 | This is world that we live in I feel myself get tired This is the world that we live in Well maybe I was mistaken I heard a rumor that you quit this day and age Well maybe I was mistaken Bless your body, bless your soul Pray for peace and self control I gotta believe it's worth it Without a victory, I'm so sanctified and free Well maybe I'm just mistaken Lesson learned and the wheels keep turning This is the world that we live in I can't take blame for two This is the world that we live in And maybe we'll make it through Bless your body, bless your soul Reel me in and cut my throat Underneath the waterfall Baby we're still in this This is the world that we live in Feel myself get tired This is the world that we live in I had a dream that I was falling, down There's no next time around A storm wastes its water on me But my life was free I guess it's the world that we live in It's not too late for that This is the world that we live in And no, we can't go back This is the world that we live in I still want something real This is the world that we live in I know that we can heal over time This is the world that we live in |

 | Can you feel it crush you? Does it seem to bring the worst in you out? There's no running away from these things that hold you down Do they complicate you because they make you feel like this? Of all the colors that you've shined this is surely not your best But you should know these colors that you're shining are... Surely not the best colors that you shine Surely not the best colors that you shine I know you feel alone, yeah, and no one else can figure you out But don't you ever turn away from the ones that help you down? Well they'd love to save you. Don't you know they love to see you smile? But these colors that you've shined are surely not your style Surely not the best colors that you shine Surely not the best colors that you shine I know you're feeling like you're lost But you should know these colors that you're shinin are I know you're feeling like you're lost, You feel you've drifted way too far Did you know these colors that you're shinin' are Surely not the best colors that you shine Surely not the best colors that you shine |
 | There were days when each hour was a war I fought to survive There were nights full of nightmares and I dreaded closing my eyes There were skies that burst open with a downpour to drown me alive But the world took a spark like a match in the dark And the fire brought me to life So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high 'Cause theres no other way we can stay alive 'Cause we're burning bright As we all unite And when it's all said and done We'll shine like the sun So don't let the fire die And we'll watch the sky As it fills with light And though the embers are new Whatever you do, just don't let the fire die And you'll find there'll be mornings When the ashes and embers are cold But you'll fight with a passion And you'll never stop 'cause you know Yeah you know, it gets better And your story is yet to be told Every push, every shove, every war, every love Yeah, the coals are beginning to glow So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high 'Cause theres no other way we can stay alive |
 | It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear So tell me now If this ain't love then how do we get out? Because I don't know That's when she said I don't hate you boy I just want to save you while there's still something left to save That's when I told her I love you girl But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have But the day pressed on like crushing weights For no man does it ever wait Like memories of dying days That deafen us like hurricanes Bathed in flames we held the brand Uncurled the fingers in your hand Pressed into the flesh like sand Now do you understand? So tell me now If this ain't love then how do we get out? Because I don't know That's when she said I don't hate you boy I just want to save you while there's still something left to save That's when I told her I love you girl But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have 1000 miles away There's nothing left to say But so much left that I don't know We never had a choice This world is too much noise It takes me under It takes me under once again I don't hate you I don't hate you, no |
 | I've got this feeling, there's something that I missed (I could do most anything to you) Don't you breathe, don't you breathe (I could do most anything to you) Something happened that I never understood (I could do most anything to you) You can't leave, you can't leave Every second dripping off my finger tips (I could do most anything to you) Wage your war, wage your war (I could do most anything to you) Another soldier says he's not afraid to die (I could do most anything to you) I am scared, I'm so scared In slow motion the blast is beautiful (I could do most anything to you) Doors slam shut, doors slam shut (I could do most anything to you) A clock is ticking but it's hidden far away (I could do most anything to you) Safe and sound, safe and sound |
 | I don't like walking around this old and empty house So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake It's the house telling you to close your eyes Some days I can't even trust myself It's killing me to see you this way 'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Hey! Hey! Hey! There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back Well tell her that I miss our little talks Soon it will be over and buried with our past We used to play outside when we were young And full of life and full of love. Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear 'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Hey! Don't listen to a word I say Hey! The screams all sound the same Hey! Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Hey! Hey! You're gone, gone, gone away I watched you disappear All that's left is the ghost of you. Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, There's nothing we can do Just let me go we'll meet again soon Now wait, wait, wait for me Please hang around I'll see you when I fall asleep |
 | You're never gonna love me, so what's the use? What's the point in playing a game you're gonna lose? What's the point in saying you love me like a friend? What's the point in saying it's never gonna end? You're too proud to say that you've made a mistake You're a coward to the end I don't wanna admit that we're not gonna fit No, I'm not the type that you like Why don't we just pretend? Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh I can't let you go, can't let you go oh I just want it to be perfect To believe it's all been worth the fight Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh |
 | There's something cold and blank behind her smile She's standing on an overpass In her miracle mile "You were from a perfect world A world that threw me away today Today to run away" A pill to make you numb A pill to make you dumb A pill to make you anybody else But all the drugs in this world Won't save her from herself Her mouth was an empty cut And she was waiting to fall Just bleeding like a polaroid that Lost all her dolls "You were from a perfect world A world that threw me away today Today to run away" A pill to make you numb A pill to make you dumb A pill to make you anybody else But all the drugs in this world Won't save her from herself |
 | Is my imagination running away or is all this really happening to me? Am I a prince in a far-away land filled with fantasy? Where is reality and what are the actions that will define who I am? I am holding on to the visions I've seen of what I could be It's what I should be More than it seems these dreams inside blur reality's line If I could believe the dreams aside, I am capable more than it seems More than it seems Passing through darkness into my own world Will I be more than when I left, be more than when I left? Never letting go of the lessons I've learned, this will make a change A change within me More than it seems these dreams inside blur reality's line If I could believe the dreams aside, I am capable more than it seems This time I won't run away I found the strength to face life's long days This time I won't run away |
 | And I remember everything, Everything I loved, I gave it away like it wasn't enough All the words I said and all you forgive How could I hurt you again? What if I let you in? What if I make it right it? What if I give it up? What if I want to try? What if you take a chance? What if I learn to love? What if, what if we start again? All this time I can make it right With one more try Can we start again? In my eyes, You can see it now, Can we start again, can we start again? Emptiness inside me, wonder if you see It's my mistake and it's hurting me I known where we've been How did we get so far? What if, what if we start again? All this time I can make it right With one more try Can we start again? In my eyes, You can see it now, Can we start again, can we start again? |
 | "I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war: "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love." |
 | And I got the call soon as the day hit night. As soon as the headlights lit up the Westside. I stopped the car and came outside Cause I know that tone. I remember the first time we wished upon parallel lines. Waiting for a friend to call and say they're still alive. I've given everyone I know a good reason to go. I was surprised you stuck around long enough to figure out That it's all alright. I guess it's all alright. I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright. Yeah, it's all alright. I guess it's all alright. I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright. And now all my loves that come back to haunt me. My regrets and texts sent to taunt me. I never claimed to be more than a one-night stand I've given everyone I know a good reason to go. But I came back with the belief that everyone I love is gonna leave me. |
 | Slip inside the eye of your mind Don't you know you might find A better place to play You said that you'd never been All the things that you've seen Will slowly fade away So I'll start the revolution from my bed Cos you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside 'coz summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away, "But don't look back in anger", I heard you say Take me to the place where you go Where nobody knows if it's night or day Please don't put your life in the hands Of a Rock n Roll band Who'll throw it all away Gonna start the revolution from my bed 'Coz you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside 'coz summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace, take that look from off your face 'Coz you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out |
 | Step off the train all alone at dawn Back into the hole where I was born The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me The blood on the trax and must be mine The fool on the hill and I feel fine Don't look back cos you know what you might see Look into the wall of my mind's eye I think I know, but I don't know why The questions are the answers you might need Coming in a mess going out in style I ain't good-looking but I'm someone's child No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe I met my maker I made him cry And on my shoulder he asked me why His people won't fly through the storm I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born" All my people right here, right now D'You Know What I Mean? All my people right here, right now D'You Know What I Mean? All my people right here, right now D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah, yeah I don't really care for what you believe So open up your fist or you won't receive The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need Get up off the floor and believe in life No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice Get on the bus and bring it on home to me |
 | Let it go, Let it roll right off your shoulder Don't you know The hardest part is over Let it in, Let your clarity define you In the end We will only just remember how it feels Our lives are made In these small hours These little wonders, These twists & turns of fate Time falls away, But these small hours, These small hours still remain Let it slide, Let your troubles fall behind you Let it shine Until you feel it all around you And i don't mind If it's me you need to turn to We'll get by, It's the heart that really matters in the end Our lives are made In these small hours These little wonders, These twists & turns of fate Time falls away, But these small hours, These small hours still remain All of my regret Will wash away some how But i can not forget The way i feel right now In these small hours These little wonders These twists & turns of fate These twists & turns of fate Time falls away but these small hours These small hours, still remain, Still remain These little wonders These twists & turns of fate Time falls away But these small hours These little wonders still remain |

You got more than you bargained Ain't it crazy? You got more than you paid for So give me just one more chance, one more glance One more hand to hold You've been on my mind, though it may seem I'm fooling Wasting so much time, though it may seem I'm fooling What are we gonna do?

 | Waiting to cross the rubicon Wondering what side I'm on What are these visions of me as a young man? With one arm pointed, and the other arm holding your hand Needing a plan to keep you near Blowing a horn, so you can hear If it was only my love and devotion This world would suddenly be in a state of commotion Emotional commotion, emotional commotion Emotional commotion, emotional motion I never get around under the sun and the stars And I may be always frowning But wonder you will see, under the sun and the stars You will turn around and I'll be emotion Emotional commotion, emotional commotion Emotional commotion, emotional commotion Emotional commotion, emotional motion |
 | Today is gonna be the day That they're gonna throw it back to you By now you should've somehow Realized what you gotta do I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about you now Backbeat the word was on the street That the fire in your heart is out I'm sure you've heard it all before But you never really had a doubt I don't believe that anybody feels The way I do about you now And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would Like to say to you But I don't know how Because maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my wonderwall Today was gonna be the day But they'll never throw it back to you By now you should've somehow Realized what you're not to do I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do About you now And all the roads that lead you there were winding And all the lights that light the way are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you But I don't know how |
 | Can we pretend that airplanes In the night sky like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now Wish right now Wish right now Can we pretend that airplanes In the night sky Are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now Wish right now Wish right now Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish To go back to a place much simpler than this 'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin' And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion And all the pandemonium and all the madness There comes a time where you fade to the blackness And when you starin' at that phone in your lap And you hopin' but them people never call you back But that's just how the story unfolds You get another hand soon after you fold And when your plans unravel in the sand What would you wish for if you had one chance? So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late I'm on my way so don't close that gate If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night |

 | This is the story of your red right ankle And how it came to meet your leg And how the muscle bone and sinews tangled And how the skin was softly shed And how it whispered, "Oh, adhere to me for we are bound by symmetry And whatever differences our lives have been We together make a limb" This is the story of your red right ankle |
