Looking for the Light
04:17
|
|||
Take away the light
And what's there left to see
Take away what's right
And you're no longer free
So many questions
Pervading your mind
You keep looking for answers
But none there to find
Just looking for some kind of sign
Things will be alright
Looking for the light (Looking for the light)
Looking for the light (Looking for the light)
Take away your voice
And what's there left to say
Take away your choice
And you have no other way
So many problems
All over the world
Is there some kind of future
That's left to unfurl
Just looking for some kind of sign
Things will be alright
Looking for the light (Looking for the light)
Looking for the light (Looking for the light)
Looking for the light
To show us a another way
To lead us to better days
And finally turn away…the dark
Looking for the light
To shine upon all our lives
To make us all more wise
And help us to ignite…the spark
Looking for the light
To help us find our way
Looking for the light
To a bright and better day
Looking for the light
To help us find our way
Looking for the light
To a bright and better day
Take away the light
And what's there left to see

Try

I keep on falling
And I keep on stalling
I just don't know what to do
I keep on waiting
And procrastinating
I can't seem to make a move
You wake up
And feel that nothing can change
It's your life
It cannot be rearranged
But you know that's just a lie
Take a step
And now you're on your way
This is the start
Of something new today
And all that it takes is for you to try
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
No more hesitating
Just anticipating
It's time to crawl out from the dark
The world keeps turning
And your passion's burning
It's finally time to make your mark
You get up to start
Your climb to the top
Once you're there
You know you're not gonna stop
You've earned your wings
Now it's time to fly
All your dreams
Are coming true for you now
You survived
All of your struggles somehow
And all that it took was for you to try
One day you will understand
The key's in the palm of your hand
There will be no asking why
Just know you've got to try
You wake up
And feel that nothing can change
It's your life
It cannot be rearranged
But you know that's just a lie
Take a step
And now you're on your way
This is the start
Of something new today
And all that it takes is for you to try
You get up to start
Your climb to the top
Once you're there
You know you're not gonna stop
You've earned your wings
Now it's time to fly
All your dreams
Are coming true for you now
You survived
All of your struggles somehow
And all that it took was for you to try

The Greatest Love
07:34
|
|||
The world I knew had come undone
With clouds so dark, they hid the Sun
The rain had washed away my life
Pain cut so deep, just like a knife
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
I'd gone too far, I'd reached the end
The void became a constant friend
I sat alone in my despair
Til I reached out and found you there
You did not have to listen, but you let me speak
You gave me the strength to go on when I was so very weak
After all of these years of this mutual neglect
I found that the person inside you is someone I truly respect
In my mind and in my heart
I place you in a special part
In my heart and in my mind
The greatest love of any kind
In my mind and in my soul
I need you to make me whole
In my heart and in my eyes
The greatest love will never die
Will never die
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Will never die
I never thought I'd feel this way
You wash the pain and fear away
Now here we are, just you and I
There is no point in asking why
I don't understand how this love came to be
But I know that this kind of love is something so rare and unique
My love will not falter as long as I live
I love you with all of my heart and I'll give you all I can give
In my mind and in my heart
I place you in a special part
In my heart and in my mind
The greatest love of any kind
In my mind and in my soul
I need you to make me whole
In my heart and in my eyes
The greatest love will never die
Will never die
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Will never die
As we are looking ahead
At what will be
I know that it's so hard for you
Well, it's hard for me
In my mind
I need you
In my heart
The greatest love
In my mind and in my heart
I place you in a special part
In my heart and in my mind
The greatest love of any kind
In my mind and in my soul
I need you to make me whole
In my heart and in my eyes
The greatest love will never die
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
In my mind/Will never die
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I need you/Will never die
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
In my heart/Will never die
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
The greatest love
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
In my mind
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I need you
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
In my heart
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
The greatest love

Waiting on You
04:46
|
|||
So long I stayed under your spell
One look from you resistance fell
Despite the memories
Fading from my mind
The truth is plain to see
You were never really mine
Right from the start
You stole my heart
You kept me waiting, waiting on you
Losing my mind
Wasting my time
As I kept waiting, waiting on you
You led me on
You played your con
While I was waiting, waiting on you
Now you're not here
This much is clear
I shouldn't have waited, waited on you
I still think back to long ago
Why did I stay I just don't know
Whenever you would call
I'd always run to you
I'd catch you when you'd fall
But you'd let me fall on through
You took my heart
Tore it apart
You kept me waiting, waiting on you
You played it cool
I played the fool
As I kept waiting, waiting on you
You had your way
I had no say
And I was waiting, waiting on you
Now you are gone
And we've moved on
Wish I never waited, waited on you
And after so many years
Now and then I still look back
There were times we seemed to be so in sync
How did we end up so off track
The memories fade
But the memory's all that's left
Right from the start
You stole my heart
You kept me waiting, waiting on you
Losing my mind
Wasting my time
As I kept waiting, waiting on you
You led me on
You played your con
While I was waiting, waiting on you
Now you're not here
This much is clear
Wish I never waited, waited on you
You took my heart
Tore it apart
Wish I never waited, waited on you
I lost my mind
Wasted my time
Wish I never waited, waited on you
You played it cool
I played the fool
Wish I never waited, waited on you
Now you are gone
And we've moved on
Wish I never waited, waited on you

I see the walls are closing in
And I reach out for your hand
I pull you closer as I try to think
Of some kind of plan
We start to run, but then I look at you
And think otherwise
This battle's not about retreating
But our will to survive
What must I do to make things right
What can we do to win this fight
It's down to you and me
The world keeps swinging
And it's landing blows that cut to the heart
With every shot we take it feels
As if we're pulling apart
I take your hand and beg
That you will be right there by my side
There is no other way to win
No other way to survive
What must I do to make things right
What can we do to win this fight
Right here and now
It's time to take a stand
I'll fight for you
Hand in hand, we battle together
It's down to you and me
The walls keep closing in
It seems the world has got us ensnared
But we stand our ground as we defend
This life we have shared
With our resolve, we get ready
To launch a counterattack
To claim our life, our love, our liberty
Our dignity back
What must I do to make things right
What can we do to win this fight
Right here and now
It's time to take a stand
I'll fight for you
Hand in hand, we battle together
Right here and now
We lay it on the line
I'll fight for you
Stand or fall, we're in it together
Forever and ever
It's you and me against the world
It's you and me against the world
It's you and me against the world
It's you and me against the world
We're gonna stand our ground
It's you and me against the world
It's time to fight, it's time to lay it all on the line
It's you and me against the world
We're gonna take them on, we're gonna take them down
It's you and me against the world
Now that we're united, we'll never be divided again
It's you and me against the world
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now
It's you and me against the world
It's time to fight, it's time to lay it all on the line
It's you and me against the world
We're gonna take them on, we're gonna take them down
It's you and me against the world
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now
It's you and me against the world
It's down to you and me

Years Go By
04:13
|
|||
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Find yourself on memory lane
See faces from your past
Remember them like yesterday
How did time fly by so fast
You see them in your memories
You see them in your dreams
But nothing's as it was back then
Nothing's ever as it seems
Years go by
In your mind
Years go by
In the blink of an eye
Arrive at your reunion
And you start to reconnect
Lost friends and loves and memories
Regale in retrospect
Celebrate the times you shared
As the moment takes you back
But know the past is not today
You can't escape the fact
Years go by
In your mind
Years go by
In the blink of an eye
Years go by
In your mind
Years go by
It's a matter of time
Years go by
Years go by
Years go by
Years go by
It's a matter of time
It moves along on a line
The past is left behind
In the blink of an eye
Years go by
It's a matter of time
Years go by
In the blink of an eye
Years go by
It's a matter of time
Years go by
In the blink of an eye
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Domination
Why must you always interfere
Why did I let you get so near
Right from the start I lost control
You stole my heart, you took my soul
Domination
Why must you still haunt me
Domination
When my heart yearns to be free
Domination
Do you like hurting the ones that you love
Domination
It's been total misery
Domination
That you're just a memory
Domination
I had you once now I've had enough
I've had enough
I thought you were my little flower
Did not think you held so much power
The world you built fell at my feet
In games of love I'm always beat
Domination
Why must you still haunt me
Domination
When my heart yearns to be free
Domination
Do you like hurting the ones that you love
Domination
It's been total misery
Domination
That you're just a memory
Domination
I had you once now I've had enough
Domination's all that you gave me
All this time I thought you were lazy
So in my mind I know you crazy
Domination's all that you gave me
Ooh ooh
I will not forget you
Ooh ooh
You stay in my heart
Ooh ooh
But I will not let you
Ooh ooh
Tear my world apart...again
Domination
Why must you still haunt me
Domination
When my heart yearns to be free
Domination
Do you like hurting the ones that you love
Domination
It's been total misery
Domination
That you're just a memory
Domination
I had you once now I've had enough
I've had enough
Domination, domination
I've had enough
Domination, domination
I've had enough
Domination, domination
I've had enough
Domination, domination
Domination

No Time for You
03:11
|
|||
I hear the things you say
And I just shake my head
Why can't you see that
You are being so misled
Regurgitating lies from
Right-wing talking heads
Who eschew the facts
And spread conspiracies instead
You blame your problems on everybody else
You never, ever point the finger at yourself
I have...no time for you
I have...no time for you
I have...no time for you
I have...no time for you
With your red hats on
You wear your hate with pride
With your leader's blessing
You've no need to hide
Attack your foes online
And then you run and cry
When you're called out on your shit
And access is denied
You say you just want to make everything great
As you peddle all your lies and all your hate
I have...no time for you
I have...no time for you
I have...no time for you
I have...no time for you
I have no time for you...no time for you
I have no time for you...no time for you
I have no time for you...no time for you
I have no time for you...no time for you
No time for you

Peace of Mind
06:50
|
|||
You lie awake in torment
You lie awake in dread
How did you ever get here
You know you should be dead
You long for deeper meaning
You long for something real
But nothing brings you comfort
And nothing helps you heal
But there's one thing you can muster
Just to get you through the day
All it takes
Is for you to find
A little bit of
Peace of mind
All it takes
Is for you to find
A little bit of
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
You dwell on all your failures
You dwell on all your fears
You drown in distant memories
You drown in all your tears
But then you catch a joyous moment
And it gets you through the day
All it takes
Is for you to find
A little bit of
Peace of mind
All it takes
Is for you to find
A little bit of
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
You find one thing you can count on
Just to get you through the day
All it takes
Is for you to find
A little bit of
Peace of mind
All it takes
Is for you to find
A little bit of
Peace of mind
Peace of mind

Now or Never
04:27
|

It's time
For us to hit the streets
No more
Hiding in retreat
We have to raise our voice
We have to stand and fight
We have to be the change if we want it
We have to make our move
We have to do what's right
We have to act or forever be haunted
We can't put it off again
We cannot wait forever
We just can't hold off anymore
Baby, it's now or never
Baby, it's now or never
It's time
To show up and be heard
We won't
Stand down or be deterred
We have to save the day
We have to make things right
We have to show them there's no going back now
We won't go quietly
We're gonna make some noise
We're gonna get them to listen somehow
We can't put it off again
We cannot wait forever
We just can't hold off anymore
Baby, it's now or never
It's time for us to make a stand
We have to work together
Our freedom and our lives at stake
Baby, it's now or never
Baby, it's now or never
We can't put it off again
We cannot wait forever
We just can't hold off anymore
Baby, it is now or never
It's time for us to make a stand
We have to work together
Our freedom and our lives at stake
Baby, it's now or never
Baby, it's now or never
Baby, it's now or never
Baby, it's now or never

G.F.Y.
06:19
|

The world we knew is over
Our lives forever changed
A war brought to our homeland
By a madman so deranged
Our peace and freedom violated
For one's vanity and lies
Thinking they'd get a hero's welcome
But they got a big surprise
They say some men just want to watch the world burn
They say some men just want to tear it all apart
The past tries to teach us but what have we learned
The same mistakes lead to a million broken hearts
Though I may fall
Though I may die
I say to you
GFY
GFY
GFY oh why
GFY
Bombs falling all around us, death rains down from the air
Our homes and lives in tatters, there's sadness everywhere
But we'll keep fighting for our freedom, this evil will be denied
Our sovereignty will be defended, no matter the tears we've cried
Our hope endures, our spirit is undying
The more you take from us, the stronger we become
We'll drive you out, our flag will keep on flying
We will not stop until the day the war is won
Though I may fall, though I may die
I say to you…GFY
GFY
GFY oh why
GFY
It's all so surreal, it's all so unfair
We did nothing to deserve this fate
But we carry on through all the despair
And hope it ends before it's too late
I say to you, GFY
I say to you, GFY
I say to you, GFY
I say to you, GFY
Our hope endures, our spirit is undying
The more you take from us, the stronger we become
We'll drive you out, our flag will keep on flying
We will not stop until the day the war is won
They say some men just want to watch the world burn
They say some men just want to tear it all apart
The past tries to teach us but what have we learned
The same mistakes lead to a million broken hearts
Though I may fall
Though I may die
I say to you…GFY
