"I Hear Voices"

"I Hear Voices"


I feel the pressure
Pushing down on me
Can't face the world
Can't change the things I see
I got my hands in my pockets
Staring at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

I hear voices in my head
They taunt me
Can't lock them out
Inside my thoughts
They breathe in me
I got my hands in my pockets
Screaming at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

I've got to run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Take away the pain and the joy
Release the man from the boy
Run to be free, run from the heart
Life will take you where it goes

You can offer me salvation
Feed me when I call
Don't talk to me of sanity
When I'm not quite here at all

I've touched the sun
I felt its warmth in me
So you will never take away my dignity
Cause I've got my hands in my pockets
Fighting for my cause
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

Run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Life will take you where it goes
Run to be free
Run from the heart

"I Wanna Be Free"

"I Wanna Be Free"


As I wake up every day with no new songs to play
Feeling like I ought to pack my bag and run
My imagination flies to some other sunny skies
Where I felt so good and everything was done
And my time was my own, and my heart felt so free. Come On!

I don't mind a little rain, but it doesn't seem the same
When the clouds shut out your beauty from my eyes
There's a storm inside my head and I know it doesn't lead
To a clearer a day when nobody will cry
I can't stand here alone, and I need to be free... Free!

So bring fire and bring steel for you know the way I feel
Bring a silver horse to carry me away
I'm no stranger, I'm a friend and my pain will never end,
'Til the world will let us live our lives as one
And our time is our own, and our hearts can be free.

I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free
I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free

"I Won't Mind"

"I Won't Mind"


Well I don't mind, if you steal my last dime
Just leave me any time and I'll get, get along fine
I don't really know why
But I know I'll get by
If I don't I'll die tryin'

Well if it rains again, I'm gonna fly to the sun
'Cause nothing gets done just sittin', sittin' around
Look at the way it's been
Just waitin' and wanderin'
I've just got to keep tryin'

Looking for gold in the sky gets kinda rough
Maybe I'm to blame 'cause I didn't look hard enough
But I still get the feelin'
That it shouldn't be so tough
So I won't mind
I won't mind, I won't mind P>Looking for gold in the sky gets kinda rough
Maybe I'm to blame 'cause I didn't look hard enough
But I still get the feelin'
That it shouldn't be so tough
So I won't mind, I won't mind
No I won't mind, said I won't mind yeah yeah

"I'll Keep On Trying"

"I'll Keep On Trying"


Aaah! Aaah!

You came to me with all of your lies
And I was taking in so well
It took me quite a time to see the disguise
You made it very hard to tell
Now I hear you are again but you're begging in vain
'Cause I really don't want to know
Aaah! Aaah!

You came to me with a little bit of charm
You had me down on my knees
I didn't really think there was any harm
But all you ever did was tease
You took all the love that I ever had to give
There was nothing left to show
Aaah!

Well I remember everything, everything around me
The long dark winter 'til the breath of spring
Came close enough to drown me
So I'm gonna keep on trying
'Til I feel like dying
And I lay down and pass away
But that won't happen 'til tomorrow
And by then I can borrow another day
So I'm gonna keep on trying, yeah

You came to me with a little bit of charm
You had me down on my knees
I didn't really think there was any harm
But all you ever did was tease
You took all the love that I ever had to give
Well there was nothing left to show
Aaah!

"I'm Alive"

"I'm Alive"


How strange when you know the feeling that something ain't right
You're fooled by the need of being, you're blind to the light
Don't ask where the stranger leads you, he'll show you the way
Just go out and make your conquest, you've something to say
I'm alive, I'm alive and I'm me
I've just got to be free, I'm alive to the world

There's been so much bad time wasted, just look and you'll see
We've got so much going for us, it's not just a dream
Let's look and we'll find the answers, to questions I've made
We'll reach out for new beginnings, let love show the way
I'm alive, I'm alive and I'm me
I've just got to be free, I'm alive to the world

Let's leave our past behind
A little hurt can make us blind
And we'll just smile and say
We've found a better way 'Cause now we know that we're alive
I'm alive, I'm alive and I'm me
I've just got to be free, I'm alive to the world

"I'm Alive Again"

"I'm Alive Again"


So many questions
So many lies
Truth has been hidden
Behind your eyes
But I'll survive
Oh, I'm alive

Look for the answers
Try to understand
Fight when you have to
Run if you can
But I'll survive
Yeah, I'm alive

Look closely at the stars
I'm a man of broken dreams
But I'm alive again
Oh yeah, I can bleed
I'm a man of broken dreams
When I'm alive again
Oh yeah, come see me bleed
I'm a man of broken dreams
But I'm alive again

Don't take no prisoners
That's what you said
I was burned, I was broken
Lost and left for dead
But I'll survive
Oh, I'm alive

Look closely at the stars
I'm a man of broken dreams
But I'm alive again
Oh yeah, I can bleed
I'm a man of broken dreams
But I'm alive again
Oh yeah, I'm alive again
I'm alive again
Come see me bleed
I'm alive again
I'm alive again

"I'm Ready"

"I'm Ready"


The flame burns inside of me,
Sending me to who knows where
Got my finger on the pulse of life,
I take my chances I don’t care

Walking with the sun shining down on my face
Seeing all the pieces just fall into place
When I feel I can understand
Why fate takes a hand
Well I know, that I’m ready

Running through the howling wind,
Moving through the stinging rain
If you don’t take what is given,
You only have yourself to blame.

Running through the howling wind,
Moving through the stinging rain
If you don’t take what is given,
You only have yourself to blame.

Walking with the sun shining down on my face
Seeing all the pieces just fall into place
When I feel I can understand
Why fate takes a hand
And I know, that I’m ready

I know so many people
Who never see the light of day
All kinds of trouble and
Worries seem to get in their way.

Walking with the sun shining down on my face
Seeing all the pieces just fall into place
When I feel I can understand
Why fate takes a hand
And I know, that I’m ready

I’m ready.

"If I Had The Time"

"If I Had The Time"


If I had the time,
To re-live my life
I don't think I'd care,
To change a thing
As long as I find,
Just a little peace of mind
I can dream and laugh and sing

I can have my fun,
With the silver stars
I can watch the sun,
Fall in the sea
And if it rains,
I will smile just the same
For the rain will make the flowers sing

I know how it is to feel sad
I know how it is when things go bad
But I'm sure that I have found the way
I'm happy here and here I'll stay whoa
Here I'll stay

If I had the time,
To re-live my life
I don't think I'd care,
To change a thing
As long as I find,
Just a little peace of mind
I can dream and laugh and I can sing

"Illusion"

"Illusion"


In a forest known as heartbreak
In a clearing in the wood
'Cross a pathway called confusion
Toward the garden of delight

You'll reach the river of desire
And meekly try to cross it
While the valley of love keeps avoiding you
Because it's only an illusion

Upon the hill of high ideals
You begin to wonder if it's real
You are reaching sleep's oasis
You begin to wonder how you feel

But it happens so quickly it doesn't fit
Into your scenes
Tossin' and turnin' the star of so many scenes
It's only an illusion

"Imagination"

"Imagination"


Sometimes I'm certain. sometimes my mind is filled with doubt
Some thoughts lay heavy here, sometimes I think it's figured out
Imagination, endless voyage of discovery
I'm at once impatient and afraid some day you may walk out on me

At least when you're with me, I'm not afraid to live with mistery
For I'm sure know how sad one night without a dream can be
Imagination, bitter-sweet companion as my time flies by
Love-hate relation, hand in hand toward infinity

Lead me here, lead me there
Everywhere if you really dare
Today, tonight, tomorrow
You don't have to take my hand
I'll take it just the way it's planned
Lead on, speed on, I'll follow

When you see me coming ,you've gonna know I'm not alone
Me and my imagination
We'll be side by side any way the wind is blown
Love songs and fantasies, they've kept us busy since the day we met
But each new horizon only reminds us it's not over yet
