"On The Other Side"

"On The Other Side"



La, la, see the morning sunshine, shine, shine on the mountain side
Don't think the grass is always greener, On The Other Side

There was a time I felt like you, did not know what to do
Don't worry now you'll be alright, you're alright, I see, see

La, la, see the morning sunshine, shine, shine on the mountain side
Don't think the grass is always greener, On The Other Side

Oh, I know how you feel, if you really do
Don't worry now you'll be alright, hold on tight, you'll see, see

La, la, see the morning sunshine, shine, shine on the mountain side
Don't think the grass is always greener, On The Other Side-On The Other Side

La, la, see the morning sunshine, shine, shine on the mountain side
Don't think the grass is always greener, On The Other Side
On The Other Side...

"One Broken Heart"

"One Broken Heart"



Young girl you really did believe in him
Still he broke your heart with lies
You've got to be stronger, the pain, it won't last much longer
Don't lose respect for yourself, no
Sweet young thing, no, don't lose your head
Or by the time you're seventeen you'll be waking every morning
With a stranger in your bed

One broken heart, I know it cuts like a knife
But one broken heart is no reason to give up on life
Girl, be waiting, be anticipating
For that new love to come along
And one broken heart, you'll survive

So sad, you lived for and now you're dying for love
But you won't find it like that
No peace and calm in the strength of a stranger's arms
Baby wake up to yourself
Love ain't guaranteed, no, but it sure is worth a new start
Or by the time you're twenty-one
you'll be lying in a stranger's bed
Dying from a broken heart

One broken heart, I know it cuts like a knife
But one broken heart is no reason to give up on life
Girl, be waiting, be anticipating
For that new love to come along
And one broken heart, you'll survive
And I'm hoping, I'm really hoping
That sweet love will come your way
To mend one broken heart, you'll survive
One broken heart, you'll survive
One broken heart, you'll survive

"One Passenger"

"One Passenger"



Undecided over destiny or fate

Undivided under sentimental ways

Undelighted with the thought of happiness
Unrequited, love will lead to loneliness

And I'd like to meet you all alone to ask you why

Why you'd change a worm into a butterfly

When I ride, falling forward on the way
I'm just one passenger aboard this train

When I find the silver lining turns to gray
I'm just one passenger aboard this train



I'm recognizing all that's true and all that's fake
Wrecking bodies, put a flower in its place

Soul surviving, in a pool of emptiness

All this trying, couldn't fill me any less



And I'd love to see you tell me as I wonder why
How you'd change this worm into a butterfly

When I fly, flying faster all the way
I'm just one passenger aboard this train
When I find the silver lining breaks away
I'm just one passenger aboard this train



When I die falling through a somber rain
I'm just one passenger aboard this train
Will I try holding on to yesterday
I'm just one passenger aboard this train
Will I find the silver lining fades away
I'm just one passenger aboard this train
We're all just passengers aboard this train

Undecided, Undivided

I'm just one passenger aboard this train

"One Reason (To Believe)"

"One Reason (To Believe)"



Lighting candles in the church of my choice
Loving strangers in the dark
Looking for someone to give me what I lack
Searching for something 'til you showed me
The gun in my back

I'm human and I need it
And I must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love (yea)
I love you 'cause you showed me
A merciful release
I'm living this time and I know you gave
Me the reason

One Reason (To Believe), One Reason (you're the one)
One Reason (To Believe), One Reason (my baby)
One Reason (it's all I need), One Reason (To Believe)

Trying to get faith from the $8.50 paperbacks
Hoping they'll show me the way (the way to what)
Man in a crisis, a young girl in his bed
She's trying to help him when she tells him
It's all in his head

I'm human and I need it
I must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love (yea)
I love you 'cause you showed me
A merciful release
I'm living this time and I know you gave
Me the reason

One Reason (To Believe), One Reason (you're the one)
One Reason (To Believe), One Reason (my baby)
One Reason (it's all I need), One Reason (To Believe)

I bow to the east or I kneel to the west
It's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it

One Reason (To Believe), One Reason (you're the one)
One Reason (To Believe), One Reason (my baby)
One Reason (it's all I need), One Reason (To Believe)

I bow to the east or I kneel to the west
It's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it

One Reason (To Believe), One Reason (you're the one)
One Reason (To Believe), One Reason (my baby)
One Reason (it's all I need), One Reason (To Believe)

"One Way Street"

"One Way Street"



From a window I’m looking down at a one way street
All the cars they're all pushing in one direction
And the faceless people moving ahead in that same direction
Every one of those people searching your eyes for a real connection
Yeah, I’m just like you looking for meaning to feel complete
Hope and praying it’s true that love is never a one way street

And I see a distant light
From where I stand here in the fields of fire
But I go to sleep at night
On broken glass, wrapped up in chains and wire

A way a way a way a way a wayo
A way a way a way a way a wayo

On the highroads and every main street that's been neglected
Lay the bodies and broken dreams of the disconnected
Now I’m standing here looking at the road ahead
I wish we could ride this highway
All I want is to feel connected

I can see a distant light
Between the veils of smoke from the cannon fire
But I go to sleep at night
On a bed of nails wrapped up in chains and wire

Away away
Love is never a one way street
Away away
Love is never a one way street
A way a way (Love is never a one way street) a way a way a wayo

Don't let go
Love is never a one way street....

"Open My Eyes"

"Open My Eyes"


Open my eyes to you
Open my eyes to you
Open my eyes to you
Open my eyes to you
Open my eyes to you
Open my eyes to you
Open my eyes to you

"Ordinary Girl"

"Ordinary Girl"



I see her there in her plain print dress and her fading youth.
Something about her opens up my soul,
something about her speaks the truth,
when the sky is falling..
She makes the world go away baby and I tell the truth
There's a plainness and a sameness to her
touch oh yeah and it's beautiful.

I love an ordinary girl
Oh she's just an ordinary girl

I say I love you I know it's just an ordinary sound
We make love in our ordinary house
yeah it's built on common ground and we know it baby
We go out walking on an friday night in Ordinary Town
There's a sameness and a plainness to it all
Oh yeah and it's beautiful

Another day, another battle
We shake the cage, our sabers rattle
Nothing that matters comes easy
and nothing that comes easy ever really matters

Oh (everything I am) she's an ordinary girl (anything I plan)
I love her (for everything that I stand).
She's an ordinary girl (I'm just an ordinary man)
Oh she's (in everything I do) Just an ordinary girl
(in everything that's true) I love her (in everything I plan)
She's an ordinary girl (I'm an ordinary man)

"Our Ship's Sinking"

"Our Ship's Sinking"



If I’m the one who caused your shipwrecked life
Then hold my hand, right to the fire
And I’ll bear this cross of love
Enough for you, enough for me yeah
Even though the water’s all around, climbing higher

Though our ship’s sinking I'm rowing and I swear
I won’t give up and I won’t let go
So don’t start thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you go

I booked a passage on a ship of fools
And I led the lamb right to the slaughter
We survived the storm somehow
I missed it then, I see it now and
It’s a wonder I’m not laying face down in the water

Though our ship’s sinking I'm rowing and I swear
I won’t give up and I won't let go
So don’t start thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you go

Though our ship’s sinking, I’m sending out a prayer
And ten good reasons you can believe
So don't start thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you leave

Bruised sky I can hear the thunder
These chains would have dragged me under
It’s a wonder I’m not laying face down in the water
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Though our ship’s sinking I'm rowing and I swear
I won’t give up and I won’t let go
So don’t start thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you go

Though our ship’s sinking, I’m sending out a prayer
And ten good reasons you can believe
So just stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you leave

(Our ship’s sinking) Whoa, whoa, whoa
(Though our ship's sinking) Whoa, whoa, whoa
