WELCOME MY SON
TO OUR HOUSE IN WASHINGTON
WHERE NOTHING GETS DONE
BUT MAKING FOOLS OUT OF EVERYONE
OUR SO CALLED LEADERS WE VOTE FOR
GET INSIDE AND CLOSE THE DOOR
THE PROMISES THEY MADE OF COURSE
JUST GET THROWN DOWN ON THE FLOOR
(CHORUS)
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME NOW WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
OH OH OH OH
WHEN A FUTURE ONCE BRIGHT NOW'S SO UNCLEAR
--
WHERE ONCE THIS HOUSED GREAT NAMES
HAS BURNED TO THE GROUND IN FLAMES
NOW A PLAYGROUND FOR GAMES
OUR LIVES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
(CHORUS)
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME NOW WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
OH OH OH OH
WHEN A FUTURE ONCE BRIGHT NOW'S SO UNCLEAR
(BRIDGE)
ON AND ON
(REVOLUTION....SOME KIND OF)
(CHORUS)
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME NOW WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
OH OH OH OH
WHEN A FUTURE ONCE BRIGHT NOW'S SO UNCLEAR

I WALK THESE CITY STREETS
IN THE COLD; IN THE RAIN
WITHOUT SHOES ON MY FEET
NO FEELING AVOIDING THE PAIN
TRIED SO HARD TO
PLAY THE GAME
MOVED TOWN EVEN CHANGED MY NAME
I THOUGHT I'D SLIPPED THIS SKIN
A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE
ONLY TO WAKE UP AGAIN
FACE DOWN ON THE FLOOR
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THIS ALL WAS FOR
OUT OF NOWHERE WAS YOU
BEATING DOWN MY DOOR
(CHORUS)
YOU ARE THE LIGHT THAT SHINES
YOU GIVE ME PEACE OF MIND
YOU HELP ME TO FIND
A REASON TO LIVE EACH DAY
---
I TRY TO BE HERE NOW
ONE HOUR AT A TIME
KNOWING THE OTHER SIDE OF ME IS
NOT FAR BEHIND
DAILY WALKING THE FINE LINE
NOW WITH MY EYES STRAIGHT AHEAD
I AM EAGER TO FIND
(CHORUS)
YOU ARE THE LIGHT THAT SHINES
YOU GIVE ME PEACE OF MIND
YOU HELP ME TO FIND
A REASON TO LIVE EACH DAY

I SEE YOU ALL THE TIME
CUT FROM THE MIRROR
THE WEIGHT FROM ALL THOSE LIES
AND THE LINES AROUND YOUR EYES
(CHORUS)
YOU MIRROR YOU MONSTER
YOU KILLED IT
YOU LOST HER
--
YOU SEE ME ALL THE TIME
SCARED OF YOURSELF
YOU KILLED ANOTHER DOVE
STILLED ANOTHER LOVE
(CHORUS)
YOU MIRROR YOU MONSTER
YOU KILLED IT
YOU LOST HER
YOU MIRROR YOU MONSTER
(BRIDGE)
DON'T KNOW THE MAN I SEE ANYMORE
BLOODIED HANDS FROM BROKEN GLASS ON THE FLOOR
--
TAKE ME FOR A RIDE
TO SOMEWHERE ELSE
WHERE THERE'S NO TIME OR SPACE
JUST THE IMAGE OF HER FACE
(CHORUS)
YOU MIRROR YOU MONSTER
YOU KILLED IT
YOU LOST HER
YOU MIRROR YOU MONSTER

I WAS ONCE YOUR KING
YOU WERE ONCE MY QUEEN
AGAINST A SKY ONCE BLUE I
HOLD A PICTURE OF YOU
(CHORUS)
DON'T LET ME BE YOUR
TEARDROP
I'M JUST TRYING TO MOVE ON AND
MAKE THIS ALL STOP
TROUBLE IS
I CAN'T LET GO
STILL LOVE YOU SO BUT WHEN I RUN WITH THE SHADOWS I NEED TO KNOW
WILL I BE FORIGEN?
--
SO WHO'S NOW YOUR KING?
DOES HE GIVE YOU EVERYTHING?
DOES HE HOLD YOU UP HIGH ABOVE OR
DOES HE HOLD YOU DOWN IN THE NAME OF LOVE?
(CHORUS)
DON'T LET ME BE YOUR
TEARDROP
I'M JUST TRYING TO MOVE ON AND
MAKE THIS ALL STOP
TROUBLE IS
I CAN'T LET GO
STILL LOVE YOU SO BUT WHEN I RUN WITH THE SHADOWS I NEED TO KNOW
WILL I BE FORIGEN?
(BRIDGE)
MY FATE HAS SEEMED TO TAKE FROM ME
A PART OF FOREVER
THAT WAS TOGETHER WITH YOU NOW IT'S LOST IN THE BLUES
WITH MY REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR
(CHOURS)
DON'T LET ME BE YOUR
TEARDROP
I'M JUST TRYING TO MOVE ON AND
MAKE THIS ALL STOP
TROUBLE IS
I CAN'T LET GO
STILL LOVE YOU SO BUT WHEN I RUN WITH THE SHADOWS I NEED TO KNOW
WILL I BE FORIGEN, WILL I BE FORGIVEN
WILL I BE FORGIVEN?
I WAS ONCE YOUR KING
YOU WERE ONCE MY QUEEN

I'VE BEEN SITTING IN THE DARK
AND I AM THE CANOPY FOR ALL LIFE
CRUMPLED BITS OF PAPER
THING'S WE'RE SEARCHING FOR
I
I'M THE PRESENCE THAT SURROUNDS YOU
AND I'M THE LIGHT THAT'S TRYING TO BREAK THROUGH
CRUMPLED BITS OF PAPER
THINGS WE'RE HOPING FOR
I'M....THE I
I'M....DEEP INSIDE
I'M....ALIVE
RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES
I'M A UNIVERSAL VIBRATION
AND I'M AT THE CORE OF EVERY NATION
CRUMPLED BITS OF PAPER
THINGS WE'RE SEARCHING FOR.....

No More Secrets

WHEN YOUR WOUNDS WON'T CLOSE OR MEND
OR WHEN YOUR PAIN DOESN'T SEEM TO END
LET ME SHOW YOU THAT I'M A FRIEND
THAT MY FAITH IN YOU WILL NEVER BEND
ALL I NEED FROM YOU IS TO BE TRUE WITH ME
I'VE HEARD IT SAID MANY TIMES BEFORE
YOU CAN'T HELP THE SOULS WHO KEEP LOCKING THEIR DOORS
YOU MUST CLOSE DOWN YOUR SECRET STORES
NO MORE SECRETS
NO MORE SECRETS
NO MORE SECRETS 'CAUSE I CAN'T TAKE IT
NO MORE SECRETS
YOU KEEP COMPLAINING THE FIRE BURNS
SO TAKE YOUR HANDS OUT
DON'T YOU SEE IT'S NOT ABOUT THEM OR ME
ONLY YOU CAN SET YOURSELF FREE
NO MORE SECRETS
'CAUSE YOU CANNOT TAKE IT
NO MORE SECRETS
NO MORE SECRETS
'CAUSE WE CANNOT TAKE IT...

Threw His Life Away
03:51

|
OH LOOK THERE'S SNOW ON HIS PARADE
THE THOUGHTS JUST RUN ON HOW IT GOT THIS WAY
HOW DID IT GET THIS WAY?
NO SMELL OF PINE ON CHRISTMAS TIME
HIS HOLIDAY IS WHERE HE MADE HIS BED IN ALLEYWAYS
(CHORUS)
SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SAY
HE THREW HIS LIFE AWAY, THREW HIS LIFE AWAY
NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
HE THREW HIS LIFE AWAY
IS EASIER TO SAY
--
ICICLES AND FROZEN TOES
THE STORY GOES
IT'S A LIFE HE MADE
AND SHAME'S THE PRICE HE PAID
NO OUT NO WAY
IN TOO DEEP
WATCHING HIS BREATH'S LIKE COUNTING SHEEP
JUST SO HE CAN SLEEP
(CHORUS)
SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SAY
HE THREW HIS LIFE AWAY, THREW HIS LIFE AWAY
NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
HE THREW HIS LIFE AWAY
IS EASIER TO SAY

TAKE ME HOME TO MAMA
SO I CAN SEE HER FACE
TAKE ME HOME TO MAMA
AWAY FROM THIS HORRID PLACE
TAKE ME HOME TO SEE HER
SO I CAN SHOW HER IT'S TRUE
LET ME SHOW MAMA THAT I WAS ONE OF THE FEW
'CAUSE I'VE BEEN DOWN THE DIRTY RIVER
I'VE SEEN THE TRAIN OF TEARS
NOW I'M OLD AND WORN BEYOND MY YEARS
THE WELL HAS RUN TO DRY
CAN'T REMEMBER HOW TO
CRY
I'M AFRAID WHEN I SEE MAMA
SHE WILL SEE I'VE DIED
I'M AFRAID WHEN I SEE MAMA
THE TEARS OF JOY WILL HIDE
'CAUSE I KNOW WHEN I LOOK INTO HER EYES
SHE WILL SEE WHAT I'VE BECOME
A SHELL OF A MAN
WHO'S FIT TO BE UNDONE
SO HERE I STAND BEFORE YOU
DRESSED IN A SHROUD OF STARS
BENEATH IT ALL LIES THE BATTLE SCARS
AND ALL THE PRAYERS TO HEAVEN
TOOK ISSUE WITH MY FATE
IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME THERE WAITING AT THE GATES
TO SIT AND WONDER WHY
CAN'T REMEMBER HOW TO CRY
CRY...CRY...
TAKE ME HOME TO MAMA
SO I CAN SEE HER FACE
IN THE LOVING ARMS OF MAMA
THE ONLY SACRED PLACE
LEFT FOR
ME

ONE TRULY NEVER KNOWS
WHAT HE HAS 'TILL IT'S GONE
WAS A TOLD A MILLION TIMES
AND NOW I'VE BEEN SHOWN
THAT YOUR MY EVERYTHING
AND FOR ALL YOUR LOVE YOU BRING
(CHORUS)
I GIVE YOU MY WORLD OUTRIGHT
I GIVE YOU MY DREAMS TONIGHT
I GIVE MY SOUL TO TAKE
ALL FOR THE LOVE YOU MAKE
--
I'VE SEEN SO MANY WRONGS
IT'S HARD TO SEE RIGHT
WHEN TEARS WRITE ANOTHER SONG
WITH ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT
DON'T CARE ABOUT LOST TIME
TO WAIT FOR YOU
I'D STAND IN LINE
(CHORUS)
TO GIVE YOU MY WORLD OUTRIGHT
I GIVE YOU MY DREAMS TONIGHT
I GIVE MY SOUL TO TAKE
ALL FOR THE LOVE YOU MAKE
I GIVE YOU MY WORLD OUTRIGHT
I GIVE YOU MY DREAMS TONIGHT
I GIVE MY SOUL TO TAKE
ALL FOR THE LOVE YOU MAKE

WHEN I HEARD THE NEW
I FELL TO MY KNEES
HOW COULD THIS BE?
WHEN I SAW YOU JUST THE OTHER NIGHT
YOU SEEMED SO FREE
AND NOW I HEAR YOUR VOICE AGAIN
AND IT'S CRYING OUT TO ME IN A DREAM
'IT'S ALRIGHT, IT'S OKAY I'LL SEE YOU ANOTHER DAY',
I HEARD HIM SAY
A STAR THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT LASTS HALF AS LONG
IN A COSMIC AGE
EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE GONE
YOU'RE STILL SHINING
BUT WE TURN THE PAGE
AND NO ONE CAN FILL THOSE BOOTS YOU WORE
AND YOU'RE STOMPING NOW
ON HEAVEN'S STAGE
BUT TONIGHT THIS ISN'T RIGHT
WE ALL WANT TO SAY
'COULD YOU JUST STAY?"
ONE MORE LAUGH; ONE MORE CRY
FOR ALL THE BLUE IN THE SKY WE PRAY
WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS
I WENT RUNNING
TO ANYPLACE BUT ME
KNEELING ON THE PEWS
I AM LISTENING FOR ANY SONG YOU SING
THEN I SWEAR YOU KICKED ME FROM BEHIND
FOR THIS CARRYING ON YOU SEE
I SWEAR I HEARD YOU SING;
'I'M ALRIGHT...I'M OKAY...FOREVER IS A DAY
SO NOW JUST PRAY...SUCH A LIGHT...
NO FEAR IN SIGHT...NO NEED TO FRET OR FIGHT..
I'M OKAY......"
