HOLD ON I'm on your side, I can see that you’re fading away You'll be just fine, if you just stay Stand tall, hold on, you're the one who'll save you Your burdens gone if you stay true Can't be blaming yourself any more Pick your head up and walk out the door Hold on, you're more beautiful than anyone Stay strong, not sore. My hearts gone for you I hear, I see. Harder than it’s meant to be Stay here, run free, let yourself be Can't be blaming yourself any more Pick your head up and walk out the door I can feel your pain, you're so brave I'll be on your side. Hold on Move on, don't stay. Finally you hear me Your soul is made, let yourself be I can feel your pain, you’re so brave I’ll be on your side. Hold On Hold on, always FIGHTING AGAINST THE WIND Shy, dare not to speak your name Cold, pressed up on your window pane All the rain on your face, getting you down hey. Lights all over the place, spinning you round hey. Come back, you're crazy, you're fighting against the wind Step back, maybe its losing you everything Dazed, staring into the sky Cold, broken heart look in your eye All the rain on your face, getting you down hey. Lights all over the place, spinning you round hey. Come back, you're crazy, you're fighting against the wind Step back, maybe its losing you everything Outside you don’t mind all this trouble. Inside your own mind you're fighting against the wind. You tell your tale but you don’t even know your story Expose yourself but you don’t even know your name Speak your mind if you've already learned your lesson Stop wasting time you're fighting against it again Shy, dare not to speak your name MAKE BELIEVE Your secret is out, the word on the street. You used to be famous, so quick on your feet. Chasing your reflection every day. A one sided dice, you keep playing the game. But winning or losing its always the same. Chasing your reflection every day. Trying to star in everything. Sitting on your high horse dreaming through your Cappuccino. Hail the hero. Standing in line with VIPs in tight black T’s, you think that you’re on a winner. Where’s the mirror. Chasing your reflection every day. Chasing your reflection every day. Wasting away, you’re wasting away, you’re wasting away etc You’re running away from me. You’re living in make believe. Gearing up for a night on the town, retreat to your room and practice your frown. Conversation, not something you’ll need. Gearing up for night on the town, your hair’s in place but you’re upside down. What you look like, and not who you meet. You fool Wasting away, you’re wasting away etc You’re running away from me. You’re living in make believe You’re running away from me. You’re living in Make Believe Make believe is all you see, you’re running around in your stonewashed jeans But are you cold from the frigid stares that follow you All you see is make believe, your new white shoes, think you’re better than me But all your friends, you bought from high society Chasing your reflection every day. Changing your reflection every day… You’re running away from me. You’re living in Make Believe. You’re running away from me. You’re living in Make Believe Wasting away you’re wasting away…. There’s nothing left to give. Exposed for the weakness by which you live You couldn’t see through your designer eyes. Your living in a world of make believe RUNNING AROUND Help me, oh I'm getting lost again. Baby will I make it to the end Looking for objects, something to trigger in my brain. Oh help me, please can you take away this pain. I'm running around and around. Barely making a sound. Wrapped around this page. Open up this cage. Baby, I'm a shadow of myself. Lately not the picture of good health One time, oh it'll never work that way. Two times, still haven't got a lot to say. I’m running around, barely making a sound etc Baby, I'm trying so so hard. But nothing seems to go, it's starting to tear me apart. Faded, just about to begin. Jaded, ready to pack it all in. I’m running around, barely making a sound FINDING SOLACE Finding solace in the little things, helps me wonder what tomorrow brings Ain’t it bizarre, with a song and a guitar. Helps me forget about other things. Wander with head too low might miss a chance to discover an angel to kiss. Look straight, go there don’t wait. No time to hold back just to reminisce. Dreaming of finding a way to your feet searching for places where ambitions meet Dreaming and hoping that one day they’ll be reality Comforting times few and far between, starting to question who you are, where you’ve been. Hard to atone to moments alone. Fearing this loneliness, what does it mean. But find a thought, a chance to get back. To be in the right place, on the right track. Stick with it, hold embrace it. Head up and pull through, forget what you lack. Dreaming of finding a way to your feet... A need to discover the best for each other. Stick with the fight long into the night. Prepare for the warmth of a new day’s light. Dreaming of finding a way to your feet... WHY ARE YOU WAITING Faced with a mountain, do you take a fall, do you pack it in Faced with a valley, do you jump across, do you slip right in And you are a soldier in the army And you are a face without a name Why are you waiting, go and find it, go and seek your prize Stop contemplating, give a break to your weary eyes Faced with a river, do you swim across or are you swept away Faced with a darkening sky, do you hide inside or do you see the light And you are a soldier in the army And you are a face without a name Why are you waiting... Hey, step outside your comfort zone There’s a world out there to help you, you’re not on your own Why have you waited so long Go and find it now, your trouble’s gone Hey, time to change your point of view Time to take a chance on life, make your brave debut And so it might be your very first time Rock’n’roll, its you you’ll find No longer a soldier in the army No longer a face without a name Why are you waiting... HUMAN TOUCH Open up your eyes and let me see you Tell me why you’re hiding when I’m near you Is this the end coming Every time you speak my name I’m dreaming But now you speak your words are losing meaning Tell by the way you’re talking you’re not sure about me I need to know if you’ll be there for me Just tell me you’re not being fair to me Your eyes tell the tale you don’t dare Open up your arms and let me hold you Burdens on my mind I should have told you I feel the end coming How can I deny that I still need you How am I to find a way to be with you Tell by the way you’re talking you’re not sure about me I need to know... I’m giving, oh why are you taking so much You’re living with a free reign on all of my trust Come back to me, I’m trying to give you so much React to me, you’re losing your human touch Open up your eyes and let me see you Tell me why you’re hiding when I’m near you I feel the end coming How can I deny that I still need you How am I to find a way to be with you Tell by the way you’re talking you’re not sure about me I’m giving, oh why are you taking so much... MAN ON THE STAGE Taking your politics out on to the stage. Words more like bullets from the source of your rage. What did you say to me. What am I trying to see. Preaching your wisdom to an open domain. Keeping your focus, your face shows the strain. What would you have me believe. Do I look that naïve. Man on the stage your mind’s locked in a cage and its dangerous Man on the stage your eyes filling with rage and its so so strange Swallowing pride now you’re feeling the heat. Straining for coverage, you’re out on your feet. People on the floor, heading for the door. You’re trying to get into my head. Your souls dying and I’m seeing red. What did you say to me. What am I trying to see. Man on the stage... Can you remember where it began. Slowly finding your way. Can you release me from your two hands. Listening to all that you say. Break down these walls of fame. We’re not the ones to blame. Are you hearing yourself. You’re somebody else. Reclaim your name. So easy to tell. You’re hiding yourself. Can you see…. Feeling your way outside the ceiling of all your pride Feeling your way outside the ceiling of all your pride So easily frustrated by the things you can’t change. Fighting crusades that are well out of range. No longer the same. You’re losing this game. The words you’re calling are missing their mark. The lights are falling you’re fading into dark. Everything you say is losing its way. Man on the stage... ALL I’VE NEEDED When, will fate send me an angel in the sky She’d drop from heaven like a bird would fly I’d be drowning in her eyes Hope, hoping that my angel will arrive With a heart that speaks in ways I can’t describe Would she recognise the kindness in my eyes Sunlight on her face, lighting up the road through her eyes Sunlight on her face, lighting up the beauty inside All I’ve needed, dreams that I’m living, on my own All I’ve needed, someone to be near me when I’m all alone, all alone Searching, searching for my angel in the crowd With lips so soft they’d barely make a sound But a face that speaks so loud Calling, calling up my angel on the phone She’d speak to me in languages unknown Would she call when I am all alone Sunlight on her face, lighting up the road through her eyes Sunlight on her face, lighting up the beauty inside All I’ve needed... I’m all alone again. Starting to wonder when I’m all alone again. Hiding inside my head When will fate send me an angel in the sky She’d drop from heaven like a bird would fly MAGIC HAPPENS Stop telling me your story, its starting to get boring, you're older now Time to face your weakness instead of just letting it grow Stop looking around for a hand, you've got two of your own Stop trying to understand what you don't know Stuck thinking there's nowhere to go, eyes open you never know Magic Happens when you least expect it Stay on the lookout when you feel rejected Start to remember the words that the man used to say Believe enough to seek horizons you crave Hoping to scale the mountain. What'll you do, its getting so high Strap on your shoes it's not just a dream in the sky Stop dealing in I don’t knows. Stay focused on where you'll go. Magic Happens... Magic made for you. Magic saved for you. Magic Happens... STEP OUTSIDE Ten years you've been fighting a war with your paperclips Blank screen with a box to record your name Ten trays but you've never found the one where creation fits Still striving to conquer the corporate game Caught up in your crazy world, your morally hazy world Oh you're a fool to play by the rules Maybe you've cracked the code, maybe you finally know Maybe its time to go Step outside, all on your own two feet, out on your city street, before its too late Step outside, away from the level floors, out through the double doors, before its too late Head buried in a folder of pages its nothing new Boxed in until you're old and you're grey if you don't shoot through Elegant chair a symbol of where you've been A couple of pages would summarise all you've seen Step outside... Away, don't stay, get away, before it’s too late Away, don’t stay, get away, before it’s too late Elevator's leaving without you, everybody's talking about you Maybe its time to go Step outside... Away... ONE MORE NIGHT IN VANCOUVER One more night in Vancouver. We’re heading off, a new place today One more night in Vancouver. On we go, we’re finding our way And who would have thought we’d be singing this song so soon, so soon One more night in Vancouver. Stage is set for the choices we make One more night in Vancouver. And on we go, which road will we take And who would have thought hat the road would be built for three, for three Better days are making us smile Find new ways to make it so worthwhile. But is this the answer to all that we came to find. So many reasons to reach out and open our mind. Tomorrow we’ll walk out the door. There’s a promise of oh so much more. Trying not to follow the road that’s been taken before. Ready now this is our time. Surging towards the starting line. A new dawn awaits now we’re leaving Vancouver behind. Leaving Vancouver behind One more night in Vancouver. Stage is set for the choices we make One more night in Vancouver, and on we go, which road will we take And who would have thought that we’d be singing this song so soon, so soon.  |
