If you ask me I will say I'm fine
All pink like birthday girls and valentines And then the stillness of the night reminds That I don't like to be alone My thoughts are race cars running 'round my head They burst into flames and they crash into my bed Until I fall into a dream instead Where all my lovers turn to stone And all I want is company Someone to understand this misery Send a reflection of myself to me 'Cause everybody needs some company These times I'm living in just make no sense Sometimes my face gets pushed against the fence I want to scream out in my self-defense But I don't want to be alone And all I want is company Someone to understand this misery Send a reflection of myself to me 'Cause everybody needs some company What is truth and what is fear Will I find it under here I know they're selling me a lie But I'm first in line to buy First in line to try I find some sanity on the written page Where life is worth more than a living wage They say the battle's over now it's time to change And I won't ever be alone And all I want is company Someone to understand this misery Send a reflection of myself to me 'Cause everybody needs some company I need some company Company |

Did you think I was leaving
My ticket was just one way The angels I believed in Were gonna carry me away Did you think that I would simply Give them my last breath Well honey you've got me wrong I'd never leave you for death It's gonna take more than that to get rid of me It's gonna take more than that to make me fade They'll have to tie me up and drag me away They'll have to shut my mouth and drag me away There is no one I serve I am not here to please I will not be a hostage To my own dis-ease Oh Come on come on Come on out and hold me Out into the great sunlight No power on earth can stop us We'll both become one tonight I have never been more sure of anything I have never been more sure of what I am They'll have to tie me up and drag me away They'll have to shut my mouth and drag me away There's no dark that can overcome a flame There's no force that can drag me away They could bring an army Ten thousand men or more Their mass weapons of destruction Won't even up the score Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on baby They'll have to drag me away Come on, come on, come on baby They'll have to drag me away They'll have to drag me away They'll have to drag me away They'll have to tie me up and drag me away They'll have to shut my mouth and drag me away There's no dark that can overcome a flame There's no force that can drag me away No force that can overcome a flame There's no force that can drag me away |

When I woke up I was seventeen, you kissed my lips in a bad bad dream. Showed me things, or what they appear to be, called me angel set me free. Gave me life in the cold cold dark, but you ran away in the morning spark, made me think that reality... Oh is not where I wanna be. But I am what I am and I am what I am afraid of ..... Oh what am I afraid of? Chorus I need a fearless, Dont need to fear the end. Oh if you cant hold me now, you will never hold me again. I want to live my life Pursue it all, My happiness I want a fearless love I wont settle for anything less. I've walked a path had worlds collide Lost my way and I fooled my pride As long as they couldn't feel so strange if I could only change But I am what I am I am what I am afraid of .... so what am I afraid of,,, Chorus Now I'm not here to lay the blame I understand when you hold a flame That heads will shake heads will turn and sometimes you just get burned. I want a fearless love , mmmmmmm I need a fearless.love Chorus |

When my soul crashed into my body
Falling into consciousness That's when my mind began this illusion Of taking it step after step I looked into mother's eyes I said tell me what I should believe She drew me a room with a light and said Just turn it off when you leave Slow, slow, this river is slow We're all out here on our own Row, row, gently we row One day we'll find our way home Step after step They drew me a town They drew me a fear and a need They drew me a god and They drew me some money Hiding the truth far from me I asked the cool fire light Tell me, what I should believe And they gave me a song And they gave me a dance And said sleep now your pain will relieve Slow, slow, this river is slow And we're all out here on our own Row, row, gently we row And one day we'll find our way home I've stumbled and crawled I've begged to know why And I've been ashamed When I've chosen to lie In all of this darkness I have searched for a light To come and find me And when I found me I wrapped my arms round My own daughter as she fell into her place and time And as her mind creates her illusions I won't complicate hers with mine She looked into her mother's eyes She said tell me what I should believe And I drew her a door And I drew her a key And I said when you're ready you'll come and find me And we'll walk out of here and tomorrow will be a new day Slow, slow, this river is slow And you are never out here on your own Row, row, gently we row Oh And together we'll find our way Slow, slow, this river is slow Life is not what it seems Row, row, gently we row The truth is It's only a dream |

I grew up in silence
From silence I became my history They fed me fear and violence They hooked me up to this reality Now I'm not cursing anyone They only did what they had done to them But if you want to know where I am now Then just breathe in and let it out When you are at the end of your rope Come find me Holding on to your last string of hope Come find me Open up your eyes I'll show you what your worth Don't you know it's you and me In this heaven on earth When I laid down my burden The one where I had something I should prove Then I found my power The one where I'm the mountain I could move So if you want to know where I am now Then just breathe in and let it out When you are at the end of your rope Come find me Holding on to your last string of hope Come find me Open up your eyes I'll show you what your worth Don't you know it's you and me In this heaven on earth Don't you know that you are golden Don't you know that you are pure delight baby It doesn't matter what they painted on you You can wash it all away tonight When you are at the end of your rope Come find me Holding on to your last string of hope Come find me Open up your eyes I'll show you what your worth Don't you know it's you and me In this heaven on earth |

She came to this world on a cold night
Papa turned his head and said I don't believe she's mine Single momma raised her in a place where You can look but never touch Cause we don't have enough Don't let your hopes get high Cause girls like you can't fly Oh the long nighs in the small room With the big dreams Oh Indiana You're only dying here And they don't understand you It's a tough road but you start slow And before you know it You're not alone Looking for a place called home anywhere Oh Indiana She tended bar in New York City People turned their heads and said Baby you sure look fine They put her on TV and then they told her You're gonna be a star You can go so far Let your hopes get high Cause girls like you can fly In the long nighs in the small room With the big dreams Oh Indiana You're only dying here And they don't understand you It's a tough road but you start slow And before you know it You're not alone Looking for a place called home anywhere Oh Indiana Those big dreams are flying machines And they'll take you Wherever you want to go Sometimes you find that what's real is inside You don't have to go away To find your way home Oh Indiana She turned around and sshe topped running She saw that fame was never an answer to her prayers She found that answer in her children When she takes them to a place Where they can have so much She lets their hopes get high Cause anyone, anyone can fly In the long nighs in the small room With the big dreams Oh Indiana You're only dying here And they don't understand you It's a tough road but you start slow And before you know it You're not alone Looking for a place called home anywhere Oh Indiana Oh she's going back Oh oh oh |

They don't much care for you
No they don't like your kind The way you look walk Or the way you talk The way you always speak your mind But you want to be my friend You're not anything like them You can show me things I've never seen You say ooo child what a waste if we never took a taste Of everything we find in between <i>[Chorus]</i> Ooo you make me nervous Ooo you make me want to run away and hide Ooo you make me nervous When you look at me I just can't lie Ooo you make me nervous tonight Feels so wrong and feels so right feels like insanity I keep acting strange hoping that I'll change Waking in a sweat from a burning dream And then look at all my friends I keep on pleasing them Caught up in the chaos of their minds Ooo child the fear I have Keeps me bound and keeps me gagged Keeps me pushing harder all the time Ooo you make me nervous Ooo you make me want to run away and hide Ooo you make me nervous When you look at me I just can't lie I want to shovel all the blame I want to shoot out all the lights I want to call you names and start a fight Because you make me nervous tonight Heart pounds hands wet mouth dry I shake I scream I cry No eat no sleep all night I build my lonely cell with secrets I can't tell Frozen in my fright Ooo you make me nervous tonight You make me nervous You make me nervous You make me nervous <i>[Chorus]</i> |

She's got her home she's got some land Her earthly possessions She's got a ring upon her hand She tried to be a good girl She tried to make everything right She tried to kill the voices That haunt her each and every night She looks up to heaven And wonders why love is so cruel She loves him won't hurt him Can't stop the wanting of you She married in high school Oldest was well upon her way But that wild night Chicago It's left a mark she can't erase A phase you'll just get over That's what her friends have always said You dip your toes in water She's in way over her head She looks up to heaven And wonders why love is so cruel She loves him won't hurt him Can't stop the wanting of you Keeping her desire paralyzed She catches in the corner of her eyes Tank top, smooth skin, soft lips, tanned thighs How the hell's this ache ever gonna die And we make our choices Doing what wee think is good We deny our own dreams 'Cause we think we've been told we should We think we've been told we should She looks up to heaven And wonders why love is so cruel She loves him won't hurt him Can't stop the wanting of you |

In late December The sun stands still in winter For three days And three long nights Throughout time we've watched the sky And waited for the sun To come and save us Save us from the longest night For years I have been doing things And singing songs That don't make any sense But if I scratch the surface Just a little bit This holiday paint is pretty thin Look to the sky With hope and wonder There's a star in the east To guide us home Yeah, we are closer now Than we've ever been To peace on Earth And goodwill to men As we celebrate The longest night O night divine O night, o night divine Night divine O night divine O...

What went wrong Doesn't really matter much When it's gone Was it too hard to try Was it too hard to lie Did you just grow tired of hello and goodbye Was it the naked truth that made you run Where do I go now That I'm down to one Sooner or later We all end up walking alone I'm down to one My heart is a traitor It led me down this road Now it's done I'm down to one I want to know where I failed I want to know where I sinned Cause I don't want to ever feel this way again Was the wanting too deep Did it block your sun Where do I go now That I'm down to one I guess sooner or later We all end up walking alone I'm down to one My heart is a traitor It led me down this road Now it's done I'm down to one What am I supposed to think What am I gonna say What did I ever know About this love anyway Down to one My heart is a traitor It led me down this road And I'm down to one I guess sooner or later We all end up walking alone I'm down to one My heart is a traitor And now it's done Down to one One창?짝 One창?짝 I'm down to one창?짝 |

I washed the dishes poured out the old wine
Called a new friend for the second time It's not bad this brand new life It's clean and it's sharp like a brand new knife I pull up the covers and curl up tight Turn down the sound turn off the light Close my eyes and I quietly whisper Goodnight, goodnight (goodnight goodnight) You're not here you're not even there Out of my heart, out of my hair I can't roll away this missing piece You could only ever want what I could never ever be I just pull up the covers and curl up tight Turn down the sound turn off the light Close my eyes and I quietly whisper Goodnight, goodnight (goodnight goodnight) How can I be okay if I'm pulling away All the things that held together my life All I want tonight is to touch you and kiss you But I only wish you Goodnight, goodnight (goodnight) I just pull up the covers and curl up tight Turn down the sound turn off the light Close my eyes and I quietly whisper Goodnight, goodnight (goodnight goodnight) I just pull up the covers and curl up tight Turn down the sound turn off the light Close my eyes and I quietly whisper Goodnight, goodnight (goodnight goodnight) Goodnight (goodnight goodnight) Goodnight (goodnight) Goodnight, goodnight my honey just Just sleep tight sleep tight my baby??짖???짝 |

Ain't it crazy
For a moment there This felt just like dying But now I see that something inside Is coming alive Ain't it crazy No use running from a revolution I just surrender to this evolution Heal me lift me Take me to the other side Amazing grace Has touched my face And the sweet sound doesn't lie Ain't it crazy For a moment there I just gave up trying But now I see You can let the light in You can begin again Ain't it crazy I lay me down in this sweet perfection I am a witness to my resurrection Heal me lift me Take me to the waterside Drop me in let me swim Let everyone know I'll be coming home again Make no mistake I'm wide-awake Ain't it crazy Heal me lift me Take me to the other side I'll take what I've earned These lessons I've learned I'm ready for the ride Heal me lift me Take me and my soul will fly My battered heart will make a new start Let everyone know I'll be coming home again Heal me lift me Take me to the waterside Drop me in Come on and watch me swim Let everyone know I'll be coming home again |

I have climbed the highest mountain
I have sailed across the sea I have wrestled with my demons And woke up with only me I have been around the block Three times maybe four And I think I deserve just a little more In front of total strangers won't you kiss me Flowers for no reason but you miss me Oh I want to be in love You're standing on the doorstep in the rain Cause you couldn't wait to see me once again Oh I want to be in love I have made some big mistakes And I've paid a heavy price I found a little peace between will and sacrifice I have watched as all my dreams Went walking out the door And I think I deserve just a little more I'm looking for a heart of gold I'm looking for a hand to hold A happy end Strong and kind Somewhere to rest my troubled mind In front of total strangers won't you kiss me Flowers for no reason but you miss me Oh I want to be in love On Tuesday light the candles bring me wine Wednesday morning I won't get to work on time Oh I want to be in love Surprise me as I'm stepping off the plane Take my hand as they play our song again Oh I want to be in love |

They say the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away
Well it was definitely gone when I woke up today I walked up to the mirror to see It's only me I got out of the kitchen I couldn't stand the heat Back into my skin and out on the street Lookin' for a little salvation It's only me Baby you can just pretend That maybe you can love again But babe I know better It's only me And wherever you are tonight The satisfaction you invite Nobody knows better It's only me Well I went down to the revival To give my soul a chance And the DJ spoke to God And the congregation danced And I heard a sound and I turned around It's only me I found a little angel who had fallen from the sky And I took that little angel and I taught her how to fly When the night is done and the morning comes It's only me Baby you can just pretend That maybe you can love again But babe I know better It's only me And wherever you are tonight The satisfaction you invite Nobody knows better It's only me, only me All you'll ever want And all you'll ever need And all you'll ever taste And all you'll ever bleed Look deep inside you It's only me Baby you can just pretend That maybe you can love again But babe I know better It's only me And wherever you are tonight The satisfaction you invite Nobody knows better It's only me Oh창?짝 Baby you can just pretend That maybe you can love again But babe I know better It's only me It's only me It's only me |

It's been so long since I've touched
So long since I wanted Then you made me laugh And my heart opened I want you to find me charming and wise I just want you to find me Somewhere here inside I barely know you We've been sort of friends So what if I called you and called you again What would I tell you Where would I begin Please forgive me If I don't know what to do It's an old fire This familiar desire But my skin is painfully new There's a light in my window It shines all night long In the morning my coffee Is sweet but it's strong I carefully reach out from behind these walls I'll take a deep breath and give you a call Hello how are you Not much at all Lost in this hole That has ripped through my soul I unlock this secret inside What should I think I've had too much to drink As my mind and my body collide |

You've never been to the moon
But don't you want to go Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know Come dance with me now We'll dance without a care I'm as free as a fire The change is in the air There are some things in my life I'll never understand But they become the force That makes me who I am You've never been to the moon But don't you want to go Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know Don't you worry about the kids The kids are alright Mama's rollin' in the back yard Filled with love and light 'Cause you live and you learn And you learn to hold on And the time will make it heal And time will make it gone You've never been to the moon But don't you want to go Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know Come with me now Come with me now It's time to try It's time to fly Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know You've never been to the moon But don't you want to go Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know You've never been to the moon But don't you want to go Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know |

I was high and dry like the Kansas sky
If I ached for any more I knew I'd surely die Night after night, trying to get out of my skin Day after lonely day, you'd send me back again I have stood inside this prison I have touched its stony walls I know before you try to run You gotta learn to crawl I tried to leave it all behind me I drove all night just to drive all day But the walls of this prison still surround me And I can't break away I held you so close, I thought my soul would break But you were just a ghost, the holiest mistake I will not be a judge or the one to set you free I'll just keep on drivin' and time's a friend to me I have stood inside this prison I have touched its stony walls I know before you try to run You gotta learn to crawl I tried to leave it all behind me I drove all night, I drove all day But the walls of this prison still surround me And I can't break away The sentence has been read everything is done I wish I could say goodbye to you, wish I could hold the sun My eyes are dull and burnt and they lie to me sometimes 'Cause I thought I saw you cryin' I have stood inside this prison I have touched its stony walls I know before you try to run You gotta learn to crawl I tried to leave it all behind me In my dreams somehow I got away But the walls of this prison still surround me And I can't break away |

I think of how you know me,
no doubts no thinking twice. When your smile can be so soothing, a familiar paradise. When there's no one else that makes me whole. I have never needing more I get this feeling I've loved you before We were lovers in an army, marching all for Rome. side by side in battle, did we bravely leave our home? Did I hold you in my arms, as you were taking your last breath? Did shout to all the gods, that I would love you beyond death? I swear I've loved you before. Did we hide in the dark ages, from a vengeful god above? Were our names too unfamiliar, to ever speak of love? Did I cling to every moment with you, in every parting glance? An accidental touch, did we ever take the chance? I know I've loved you before. Have I wandered through the desert? Have I looked and learned all the stars? Have I rode the days and nights on rails, to get back where you are? And every time I foundered, it's your eyes I know for sure. When I think of how you know me, no doubts no thinking twice. When your smile can be so soothing, a familiar paradise. When there's no one else that makes me whole. I never wanting more. I get this feeling. I know I've loved you before. I know I've loved you before I've loved you before |

A mother was grieving her loss
Her soldier the ultimate cost She went to the man Who's been told that he's a king Waited outside of his compound To ask him a few things She said "For what noble cause did my son have to die Where are their weapons Why did you have to lie" Imagine that A lieutenant in the army In his heart and his soul he believes In the land of the free and the home of the brave Now he's standing on trial For he will not behave as they wish He said "I believe the constitution To defend it and uphold I will not fight your war for profit No sir I will not go" Imagine that A scientist and his machine The smallest of life he has seen Inside matter inside atoms As far as you can go He saw the strings of life that vibrate With the universal flow He said "I have seen the spirit And all its creation It's in each and every thought And all our intentions" Imagine that |

How come there's so many people willing to suffer
So they get up and suffer every day They think they were put on this Earth to suffer And, by God, they're going to suffer Until they suffer their lives away How come so many are willing to say There is no sense There is no plan Yet they will not believe The ancient mysteries Passed down through time into their hands If my choice is despair or wonder On the line between truth and belief Do I just let the tide take me under Or do I let the fascination come on and rain all over me <i>[Chorus:]</i> Open your mind 'Cause you have been blind Imagine the answers Or questions will be all you find Open your mind The grooves in my life were unforgiving Over the years I laid them down night after night Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Suffocating my delight I was dragged into the light Into the stillness Into the white hot flame of my deepest fears And when I came crashing through Humbled and true I was better than I've been in years If my choice is end or beginning In my perception between death and life I'll keep on with this message I'm sending We may not know how or when, But don't you wanna know why <i>[Chorus]</i> Open your mind 'Cause you have been blind Open your mind |

First time I saw you
Back in 1982 An LA bar I've come so far In my Kansas dancing shoes I'm just a singer And I'm looking for a song Do you want to sing along? Two greyhounds later And I'm feeling alright I've got to have you And it must be tonight Come on back to my place Well, it's really just a room But I'll be making some money soon Goodbye and thank you Oh, my number, yeah- please phone Two or three weekends On the 405 alone You say come on and stay And when you sing down at the bar It will not be so far <i>[Chorus:]</i> And I tried to do my best I never meant to hurt no-one I was waiting for my break That I knew one day would come And I'd plug in my guitar And I'd look out across the room And I'd dig into my heart And I'd try to sing the truth And I know I did my best I never meant to hurt no-one As I recall Back in 1982 I never said goodbye or why I just left a note for you Then one night I saw you Across the road, Across the dark A shameful spear into my heart Your look was haunting An unexpected pain I am so sorry For the unexpected rain The sadness that you kissed The fresh scars on your wrist I can't make it go away <i>[Chorus]</i> Good night ladies Good night I'm gonna leave you now, Good night ladies Good night I'm gonna leave you now. (Sleep tight) |

Raised up on mid-western dreams
Only a few shall get What everyone shall need I took my family's burden Strapped it to my chest A few hundred bucks, And a kiss for luck And I pointed my dreams west To California Come rescue me California I am almost free I kept on driving to the setting sun Galaxies of angels Welcome everyone I took my heart out of its box Attached it to my sleeve Well, I will be here every night Because that's what I believe In California Come rescue me California I am almost free I will find my love I will know my peace I will seek my truth I am almost free I am almost free... I am almost free I am almost free I am almost free In California I am almost free In California I am almost free (Rescue me) California I am almost free |

You can't take a trip
If you don't first say goodbye You can't find a star If you don't look up in the sky You can't find a light If you don't know where the dark ends And you can't change the heroes and friends You can't light a spark If you don't first carry a flame You can't take the weight Of a single ounce of shame You can't change the signal Just the message that it sends The message of the heroes and friends You can't touch the screen You can take the place of love You can disappear in ether When pushes come to shove And you can walk the night Into the dawn And back again Looking for the heroes and friends You can ride the back roads Of the hometowns of the world You can collide on sidewalks In a neon light of blur You can rush the stages And believe the words again Looking for the heroes and friends You can dedicate your life To breaking down the walls To ringing the alarm Screaming down the halls You can stand in judgment Of the meaning in the air Then we are all just heroes and friends Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Looking for the heroes and friends Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Why do we sacrifice our lives? To what is left when it all ends When all we want is heroes and friends |

I think of how you know me,
no doubts no thinking twice. When your smile can be so soothing, a familiar paradise. When there's no one else that makes me whole. I have never needing more I get this feeling I've loved you before We were lovers in an army, marching all for Rome. side by side in battle, did we bravely leave our home? Did I hold you in my arms, as you were taking your last breath? Did shout to all the gods, that I would love you beyond death? I swear I've loved you before. Did we hide in the dark ages, from a vengeful god above? Were our names too unfamiliar, to ever speak of love? Did I cling to every moment with you, in every parting glance? An accidental touch, did we ever take the chance? I know I've loved you before. Have I wandered through the desert? Have I looked and learned all the stars? Have I rode the days and nights on rails, to get back where you are? And every time I foundered, it's your eyes I know for sure. When I think of how you know me, no doubts no thinking twice. When your smile can be so soothing, a familiar paradise. When there's no one else that makes me whole. I never wanting more. I get this feeling. I know I've loved you before. I know I've loved you before I've loved you before |

A mother was grieving her loss
Her soldier the ultimate cost She went to the man Who's been told that he's a king Waited outside of his compound To ask him a few things She said "For what noble cause did my son have to die Where are their weapons Why did you have to lie" Imagine that A lieutenant in the army In his heart and his soul he believes In the land of the free and the home of the brave Now he's standing on trial For he will not behave as they wish He said "I believe the constitution To defend it and uphold I will not fight your war for profit No sir I will not go" Imagine that A scientist and his machine The smallest of life he has seen Inside matter inside atoms As far as you can go He saw the strings of life that vibrate With the universal flow He said "I have seen the spirit And all its creation It's in each and every thought And all our intentions" Imagine that |

So that when I hear it on the radio I will know that I am fine, I will know that I am loved. I warned myself of the blackness in my chest The razors in my heart would never rest It's funny how you find just what you seek Love is what you get when love is what you speak I'm sending out a message to myself So that when I hear it on the radio I will know that I am fine, I will know that I am loved. I made every choice along the way Each day I spent in hell I chose to stay It's funny what you fear can make you weak Truth is what you get when truth is what you speak I'm sending out a message to myself So that when I hear it on the radio I will know that I am fine, I will know that I am loved. So if you are listening I am just passing through You can take some for yourself 'cause it works that way too Sha la la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la la I will know that I am fine, I will know that I am loved. I'm sending out a message to myself So that when I hear it on the radio I will know that I am fine, I will know that I am loved.

How come there's so many people willing to suffer
So they get up and suffer every day They think they were put on this Earth to suffer And, by God, they're going to suffer Until they suffer their lives away How come so many are willing to say There is no sense There is no plan Yet they will not believe The ancient mysteries Passed down through time into their hands If my choice is despair or wonder On the line between truth and belief Do I just let the tide take me under Or do I let the fascination come on and rain all over me <i>[Chorus:]</i> Open your mind 'Cause you have been blind Imagine the answers Or questions will be all you find Open your mind The grooves in my life were unforgiving Over the years I laid them down night after night Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Suffocating my delight I was dragged into the light Into the stillness Into the white hot flame of my deepest fears And when I came crashing through Humbled and true I was better than I've been in years If my choice is end or beginning In my perception between death and life I'll keep on with this message I'm sending We may not know how or when, But don't you wanna know why <i>[Chorus]</i> Open your mind 'Cause you have been blind Open your mind |

A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven
Held up a sign that says "God hates America" A child has been lost A mother is shocked and is grieving And turning away, turning away He said there is a love that is so hideous and destructive We must drive it from Earth to save all of our children He must know it well In the night it's the hell that he speaks of It keeps him awake, keeps him awake My God is love My God is peace My God loves you My God loves me A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven Prayed in the dark, "Death to the infidel" He strapped all his desperate pain and his faith to his body And blew them away, blew them away A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven Shouts on the news, "They are the godless ones" The anger inside and the fear that it hides never leave her When the cameras are gone, when the cameras move on Oh, people, c'mon? tell me where is your Kingdom of Heaven? Where is your faith? Where do you put your fear? Do you have a price for truth and a price for believing? And heaven is here, heaven is here My God is love My God is peace My God is you And my God is me |

Now I am kneeling at the alter In the temple of your eyes And I am asking for a miracle I have been too long paralyzed When you say: "Get up and stand up And climb the rope of hope And open up again" Oh, the peace you say is promised me Seems too much to comprehend (It's gonna be alright) Oh, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What can this girl believe (Let it all go away) (It's gonna be alright) Oh... mercy (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What do you want from me (Let it all go away) What do you want from me (It's gonna be alright) (It's gonna be okay) Mercy, baby (Just hold on tight) Mercy, baby (Let it all go away) (It's gonna be alright) Mercy, mercy, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) Hold on tight Let it all go away (It's gonna be alright) It's gonna be okay (Just to hold on tight) Oh...

The wind is too strong to hold on to I climb on your roof and call out your name Somebody stole my silver shoes Now the show must go on, and on and on and on (chorus) Will you still love me anyway Will you still need me when you're victorious Will you still want me when I've nothing to say Will you still love me anyway I am in the big top on the live wire Under the gun, over the fire I'd swim up so high, like a swan I would dive Someone took my net, and buried me alive And the crowd screams for more – Encore, Encore (chorus) Oh I, I need to know why Doesn't love die What becomes of life When does it begin And tell me how's it end When your carved into my carved into my carved into my skin Will you still love me anyway (chorus) |

Tonight I feel so weakBut all in love is fairI turn the other cheek
And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air And I know you're only humanAnd I haven't got talking room But tonight while I'm making excusesSome other woman is making love to you Somebody bring me some waterCan't you see I'm burning alive Can't you see my baby's got another loverI don't know how I'm gonna survive Somebody bring me some waterCan't you see it's out of control Baby's got my heart and my baby's got my mind But tonight the sweet Devil's got my soulWhen will this aching pass When will this night be throughI want to hear the breaking glass I only feel the steel of the red hot truth And I'd do anything to get it out of my mind I need some insanity that temporary kindTell me how will I ever be the same When I know that woman is whispering your nameSomebody bring me some water Can't you see I'm burning aliveCan't you see my baby's got another lover I don't know how I'm gonna surviveSomebody bring me some water Can't you see it's out of controlBaby's got my heart and my baby's got my mind But tonight the sweet Devil's got my soulOh, the Devil's got my soul Somebody bring me some waterCan't you see I'm burning alive Can't you see my baby's got another loverI don't know how I'm gonna survive Somebody bring me some waterCan't you see it's out of control Baby's got my heart and my baby's got my mind But tonight the sweet Devil's got my soul |

I got a chrome-plated heartI got wings on these fingers trying to tear it apart
I got angels crying from up aboveAnd they got rust in their eyes They got rust on their loveBut I have learned to leave no stone unturned And keep the wall against my backAnd the love is real as the day is long And the night is blackAs black as nightI got a two dollar stare Midas in my touch and Delilah in my hair I got bad intentions on the soles of my shoes With this red hot fever and these chromium blues And I will feel another lovers wheelAnd drive for miles and not look back And the love is real as the day is longAnd the night is blackAs black as night On my chrome-plated heartWings on these fingers trying to tear it apart I got angels crying from up aboveAnd they got rust in their eyes They got rust on their loveAnd the only way I know where the train will go Is when I'm sleeping on the tracksAnd the love is real as the day is long And the night is blackAs black as nightAnd the night is blackAs black as night |

I had a dream late last night
The water was running low And my fields were on fire, burning my sky My body was moving slow And when I awoke I tasted the sweat of desire in my mouth And I realized my heart had abducted my mind And they were last seen headed south Now I cant sleep Im so wired And I find myself screaming out Dont you need dont you want Cant you taste it when youre alone Dont you cry dont you feel Sometimes I wonder if you are real Dont you bleed Dont you need Theres no quenching the thirst theres no relief For the hungry at heart And as far as youre concerned Im just a thief Entertaining in the dark But its you that holds the cards Now that the joker is wild Dont you want to lay it down And feel your skin against the ground Dont you want to ride the storm And then sleep inside the calm Dont you want to get that high Dont you want to be satisfied Well if you dont want it from me Dont you need I had a dream late last night The water was running low And my fields were on fire burning my sky How was I to know That I burn every night in my dreams And only morning can set me free Dont you need dont you want Cant you taste it when youre alone Dont you cry dont you feel Sometimes I wonder if you are real Dont you bleed Dont you need |

I can see your darkened eyesAcross the room turn into lies and laughter
And asking for my name againThen introduced as just a friend Well it was no fantasy the passion burned You touched me the evening turned to midnightI can't forget the naked trust One quenchless night of shaking lust and fireI want youI want youI want you I want youSince that night I'm not the sameDesire breeds an ugly stain inside me Satisfaction never comesIt's always dark and yet I still run Even when I close my eyesYou torture me with shameless sighs seduction Walking in a chilling sweatPounding heart inside my chest I'm screaming I want youI want youI want youI want youWith your heart in your fist You laugh at my situationTell me is it blood you want Then take me strip me cut me see I'm bleedingI want youI want youI want you I want you |
