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 (x 4)
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 (x4)
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 etc x 2
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
Oooooohhh
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 etc..
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 etc
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 etc...
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 etc...
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 etc...
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 etc...
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 etc...
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 etc...
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 etc...
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 etc...
Magic made for you. Magic saved for you.
Magic Happens etc...
STEP OUTSIDE
10 years you've been fighting a war with your paperclips
Blank screen with a box to record your name
10 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 etc...
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 etc...
Away etc...
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…
