One by One

verse

He stands alone outside the blooming yards
All is calm there on the street
The shadows pass him hung right over
The pain on his face he knew he'd keep...
His hair is long, and it's twisted, it's twisted
Around the smile spread cheek to cheek
Another child, another soul, grabs a hold
To the metal that will end his misery...

[CHORUS:]

One by one
We stand beneath the sun
With arms high open wide
Two by two
He's getting you
To watch him as he leaves this life he knew

Verse 2

How much anger is set aside
As each one of us cries
Red light they come and they take him away
In the thoughts, he'll be better, some day.
Tied tight, can't see out your eyes
That he's sure to shine, sure to shine
In this deep dark, played out, reality show
So, who's the man, with the plan,
eating up all that he can?
Don't you see, don't you see...

[CHORUS]

One by one
We stand beneath the sun
With arms high open wide
Two by two
He's getting you
To watch him as he leaves this life he knew

Do you ever think that things are meant to be?
I know we all have our reasons why
And now the power of one human being
Has gone and changed so many lives...

[CHORUS]

One by one
We stand beneath the sun
With arms high open wide
Two by two
He's getting you
To watch him as he leaves this life he knew

One by one
We start to come undone...
Two by two
He's getting through to you...
One by one we stand, we stand, we stand, over,
over, you...

Our Lives

VERSE 1
Is it love tonight
When everyone's dreaming
Of a better life
In this world
Divided by fear
We've gotta believe that
There's a reason we're here There's a reason we're here

CHORUS
'Cause these are the days worth livin'
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives

VERSE 2
See the truth all around
Our faith can be broken
And our hands can be bound
But open our hearts and fill up the emptyness
With nothing to stop us
Is it not worth the risk? Is it not worth the risk?

CHORUS
'Cause these are the days worth livin'
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives
Even if hope was shattered
I know it wouldn't matter
'Cause these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives

BRIDGE
We can't go on
Thinking it's wrong
To speak our minds
I've gotta let out what's inside

VERSE 3
Is it love tonight
When everyone's dreaming
Can we get it right? Can we get it right?

OUTRO CHORUS
'Cause these are the days worth livin'
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives
Even if hope was shattered
I know it wouldn't matter
'Cause these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives
Yeah oh yeah lets make the best out of our lives
Yeah oh yeah lets make the best out of our lives

Believing

verse 1

I'm one man to make a difference
I'm one soul all persistence
In a dark world, just trying to make things right
Choices we weren't given
Any heroes, and our decision
Is to stand up and fight for ourselves

[CHORUS:]

To be free
Is all we want to be
When everything seems so far out of reach
But I know,
no matter where we go
I'll never stop believing in me

Verse 2

Woke up bent and broken
Just to find that fate has spoken
All I call out I call out for change
For every moment that remains
For every sinking stone to find its place
Long before they're washed away

[CHORUS:]

To be free
Is all we want to be
When everything seems so far out of reach
But I know,
no matter where we go
I'll never stop believing in me

We've been waiting for too long
We've been giving in to wrong
And we've been broken to pieces one by one

We're gonna know
We're gonna know
When the moment comes

[CHORUS:]

To be free
Is all we want to be
When everything seems so far out of reach
But I know,
no matter where we go
I'll never stop believing in me

Anything

[Verse 1:]

I will be there
Always waiting
Waiting for you
To let me inside
Where your fire burns
In a city of angels
Just like a river rushing straight into the sea
I'm the one thing meant for you and you for me

[Chorus:]

Whatever you want Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything

[Verse 2:]

And as you sleep
Eyes to the window
I'm watching you dream
Well are you dreaming of me?
So why can't you see
You're all that matters
You know if this earth should crack I'll be your solid ground
I will be there to catch you when you fall down

[Chorus1:]

If I have to crawl
Get down on my knees
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything

[Bridge:]

I'd take the stars right out of the sky for you
I'd end the world and give you the sun, the moon
For all of time, forever loving you

[Chorus2:]

Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
If I have to crawl
Get down on my knees
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything

Somebody Out There

VERSE1:

Well the scene begins, a little girl is crying
And the light in the hallway is
And she sits right back,thinks of the reason
Why no thing will fall into place
She gets more and more curious with every day
More furious in every way
And she screams out loud,
"Why's it happening to me?"
And the answer is "It's meant to be"...

CHORUS:

Well she's on her knees
And begging please
She wonders if there's somebody out there
To make things wrong
To make things right
It might be
That there's somebody out there

VERSE2:

She moves amongst the crowd,
The people they walk by
She questions why they'll have to die
If it's part of our lives,
So beautiful and precious
She knows that she shouldn't be afraid
Of all this...

CHORUS:

Well she's on her knees
And begging please
She wonders if there's somebody out there
To make things wrong
To make things right
It might be
That there's somebody out there

There's times that she hates you
There's times that she thanks you
And hopes that you might understand
It gets hard down here
So many things to fear
But it's all just a sign that you're near..
Oh ho ho

CHORUS:

Well she's on her knees
And begging please
She wonders if there's somebody out there
To make things wrong
To make things right
It might be
That there's somebody out there

Unstoppable

Come and lay right on my bed, sit and drink some wine
I'll try not to make you cry
And if you get inside my head, then you you'd understand
Then you'd understand me
Why I've felt so alone, why I kept myself from love
And you became my favorite drug
So let me take you right now and swallow you down
I need you inside

Chorus:
If we had this night together
If we had a moment to ourselves
If we had this night together, then we'd be unstoppable

Do you think that this is right, or is it really wrong?
I know that this is what we've been wanting
And all this burning in my soul, it fills up to my throat
It fills up till my heart is breaking

Chorus

Now, we can both learn
Somehow, you'll see its all we have
Love, it keeps us together
And I need love

When I wake up without you, knowing your not there
I'm only feeling half as good
Well I'm gonna find a way
To wrap you in my arms, you make me feel alive

Chorus

Nothing's Changed

It was a day just like this
In a life of our times
Shrugging signs there's no chance for us
It's not mine to decide

You never listened to what I said
You never thought I'd succeed
And though I've given you all I can
You show no faith in me

Chorus:
And I remember, and I recall
And I can see that nothings changed at all
Though we falter, we don't have to fall
And I can see that nothing's changed at all

Even when I was young
And the pressure was on
You always told me to do my thing
So what the hell went wrong?

Chorus

An outcast coming home, opinions stay the same
They'll spit them out and spin me right back through the door
The louder that we scream, the more invisible we seem
Is it gonna last forver

Now I'm learning the lies
From the skies where they reign
Can't find shelter for myself
And you're all to blame

Chorus

Wherever You Will Go

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone could you make it on your own.

CHORUS:
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then I hope there's someone out there
who can bring me back to you

CHORUS

Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind I'll stay with you for all of time

CHORUS

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go (2x)

Could It Be Any Harder

You left me with goodbye and open arms
A cut so deep I don't deserve
You were always invicible in my eyes
The only thing against us now is time

Chorus:
Could it be any harder to say goodbye and without you
Could it be any harder to watch you go, to face what's true
If I only had one more day

I lie down and blind myself with laughter
A quick fix of hope is what I'm needing
And how I wish that I could turn back the hours
But I know I just don't have the power

Chorus

I'd jump at the chance
We'd drink and we'd dance
And I'd listen close to your every word,
As if its your last, I know its your last
Cause today oh, you're gone

Chorus

Like sand on my feet
The smell of sweet perfume
You stick to me forever
And I wish you didn't go
I wish you didn't go, I wish you didn't go away
To touch you again
With life in your hands
It couldn't be any harder...harder...harder

Final Answer

I want love
To carry me through
All the moments, I'd kindly undo
Locked away
So I can feel safe

Now that I'm down on my knees, begging for change
Look down at the water
Before I jump in
To find I was sinking fast, in all that might have been

Chorus:
What I need now is an honest answer, to make things better
You can see now my hands are tied, and I surrender
So I'll wait here for your final answer, your final answer

Is there love without hate
Is there pleasure without pain?
I have seen all my mistakes
I cast you out, but now, I want you back
So light me again, cause my heart is turning black

Chorus

Remember the night you wore that dress
It flowed through our lips
Drink after drink and kiss after kiss
I'm still holding on, day after day
Don't run away

I want love to carry me through
Can you tell me what I'm supposed to do

Chorus

Adrienne

"ADRIENNE"

I've been thinking about you, my love
And all the crazy things that you put me through
Now I'm coming around, Throwing it back to you
Were you thinking of me when you kissed him
Could you taste me when you licked his skin
All the while I showered you with trust and promises
What I'm needing now is some sweet revenge
To get back all that I lost then
I gave you all I had to give, but I could never reach you

[Chorus:]
Adrienne, I thought I knew you
Once again, you used me, used me
Adrienne, I should have left you
Long before you used me, Used me up

Spent my money, drove my car
I treated you like a shining star
But in my sky all burnt out you are
And I'll have the last laugh, when I see you walking with
some other guy
'Cause I know you're gone end up all alone
So take these words, some good advice
All you've done gonna come back twice
You never cared how much it hurt, I really need to tell you

[Chorus]

What I'm needing now's some sweet revenge
To get back all that I lost then
I gave you all that I had to give, but I could never reach you

[Chorus]

We're Forgiven

Well I would like to think
The world hasn't seen
That all the best is still to come,
and I know life ain't easy.

I pass them sleeping on the streets
Their bloodstained hands and dirty feet
And I can't ignore them
Any more than I already have

Chorus:
So we laugh, and we smile
And we play our games of sweet denial
But don't tell me we're forgiven
If we hold, all our breath
If we kneel right down and just repent
You can't tell me we're forgiven

Start with me
I cannot lie
When my heart doesn't follow my eyes
Turn away, from all the suffering
That surrounds
Our time on this earth
For some their life has been a curse
I say I'm sorry and I should change
You know it just could be me someday

Chorus

There's no way out of here
I don't want to die, and leave it all behind
Each day a part of me disappears
But who am I to judge, what's been sent from above

Chorus

We can't laugh, we can't smile
When so much just ain't right
It can't go on forever...
If we hold, our breath
If we kneel right down and repent,
You can't tell me we're forgiven, no,
you can't tell me we're forgiven

Things Don't Always Turn Out That Way

Well he can't sleep at night
And he can't do what's right
It was all because she came into his life
It's a deep obsession, taking up his time

Chorus:
She's all that he wants, she's all that he needs
She's everything he just won't believe
Take away his doubt, turn him inside out
Then she can see what he's been dying to say
but things don't always turn out that way

And he must confess
All the impure thoughts of his beautiful temptress
Although he keeps it all bottled up inside
Although he keeps it all safe within his mind, oh yeah

Chorus

So wipe that smile off your face
Before it gets too late
There's only so much time
For you to make up your mind

Chorus

Just That Good

A little paint, to cover what's deep inside
A little truth you know we all want to hide
Well I'm trying I'm trying now to get to you
But you're telling me like you always do, you say

Don't hate me, cause I'm just that good

I've got to hand it to you now
you're a hard one to please
When it looks as though you've got all you need
And all the many times I've dreamed
I could walk in your shoes,
What a nightmare it must be
just being you...say

Chorus:
Don't hate me, Cause I'm just that good
A little misunderstood
You made me, so I'm just that good

Step outside, walk with me
Everyone I know and see is falling
Is crawling after something maybe,
A bigger house, faster car, never knowing who they are
They're lonely, they're lonely, they're lonely

Chorus

All this time will take its toll on you
As the same it will on me
Well good ain't all that good's made out to be
Don't hate me, we're all just that good
Just that good

Thank You

Look around the writing's on the wall
Don't you think we're all feeling crazed
In a world where nothing's as it seems
Paved with broken dreams I found truth
Well my God, I should know you're right
And I should know it's right to say I thank you for my days

CHORUS
Come around and see the other side
Stepping stones, away from the limelight
Come around and breathe in piece of mind
And for it all I thank you I thank you

Sit down lose yourself in though,
Then you might find out it's all we've got
Well take a chance the future's in your hands
Make it what you can before your time has reached the end

CHORUS

(woooooow yeah)

Come around and see the other side
Stepping stones away from the limelight
Come around and breathe in piece of mind
And for it all you you'll make it on your own
Yeah you're free
Stepping stones, away from the limelight
Come around and breathe in piece of mind
And for it all I thank you I thankyou I thankyou I thankyou

Stigmatized

If I give up on you I give up on me
If we fight what's true, will we ever be
Even God himself and the faith I knew
Shouldn't hold me back, shouldn't heep me from you

Chorus:
Tease me, by holding out your hand
Then leave me, of take me as I am
And live our lives, stigmatized

I can feel the blood rushing through my veins
When I hear your voice, driving me insane
Hour after hour day after day
Every lonely night that I sit and pray

Chorus

We live our lives on different sides,
But we keep together you and I
Just live our lives, stigmatized

We'll live our lives, we'll take the punches every day
We'll live our lives I know we're gonna find our way

I believe in you
Even if no one understands
I believe in you, and I don't really give a damn
If we're stigmatized
We live our lives on different sides
But we keep together you and I
We live our lives on different sides,

We're gonna live our lives
Gotta live our lives,
We're gonna live our lives
We're gonna live our lives, Gonna live our lives, stigmatized.
