I Pray 02:27
I Pray that I can find a ray of light that guides me on my way. For all roads that you may walk the lightening strikes and thats why you gotta pray. Coming like a train I can feel you live your life, but don't cry we'll soon see better days. Falling like the rain I can see you learn to fly, and God knows that I will always pray. I Pray that I can find a better man before I fall from grace. And I Pray the lord I know will shine a light and guide me on my way. Coming like a train I can feel you live your life, but don't cry we'll soon see better days. Falling like the rain I can see you learn to fly, and God knows that I will always pray.

Thinking back to my yesterdays I wipe the tears from my face. Walking 'round the streets where I grew up with such open eyes...and all the faces stay the same. Those cold dark nights when we were younger, The Dreams We Had made us stronger, Those cold dark nights. Before tomorrow becomes today you'll wish the world away. A lonely picture in a frame takes me back to where I played...and no the places they never change. Those cold dark nights when we were younger, The Dreams We Had made us stronger, Those cold dark nights. And I'd love to take you back, to the streets where I made my name. Where the magic fills the air, and the rain washed away the pain. Those cold dark nights when we were younger, The Dreams We Had made us stronger, Those cold dark nights when we were younger, The Dreams We Had made us stronger, The Dreams We Had made us stronger, The Dreams We Had made us stronger, The Dreams We Had.

As you catapult yourself into the fire, your eyes wont see the flash of warning signs. You're brought back down by the ones with no desire, to leave this narrow minded town behind. And its all in your head what you're doing, nothing is set in stone. These days keep rolling away, there's no turning back for me. Oh no, think I'm falling! I'm tired now I'm coming of age, there's no turning back for me. Wake up, think you're dreaming! When you say, you don't believe in me. Yesterday fades into your mirror, no regrets, no fears of wasting time. The doubts I have begin to disappear, with every drop of happiness I find. And its all in your head what you're doing, nothing is set in stone. These days keep rolling away, there's no turning back for me. Oh no, think I'm falling! I'm tired now I'm coming of age, there's no turning back for me. Wake up, think you're dreaming! When you say, you don't believe in me. Oh no, think I'm falling! Wake up, think you're dreaming!

Oh walking through these lonely streets I keep you close to me, but look at you now, nobody's gonna bring you down. Oh dreaming things in a time of our own not thinking about what could have been, but look at us now, tomorrow's on its way to town. And I love the way you tell me things nobody knows. And I love the sound of silence shaking through your bones. And I love the words you sing to me from your soul. So come on and set the world alight, come on and set the world alight! Oh with a beat up body and broken mind and time slipping out of our hands, I look at you now, nobody's gonna bring you down. Oh dreaming things like a time of our own, not thinking about what could have been, and look at us now, tomorrows on its way to town. And I love the way you tell me things nobody knows. And I love the sound of silence shaking through your bones. And I love the words you sing to me from your soul. So come on and set the world alight, come on and set the world alight! Don't let it fade away, open your arms today, and he'll never bring you down!

Never been afraid to bare my soul, so I turned to you when this bird had flown. She left me stranded on the side of the road, on my knee's so far from home. And dont ask the reason why, but for you my heart bleeds dry. Not a single day goes by, I dont sit and wonder why, do you carry me as you fly? But I've gotta feeling everything's gonna be alright. Living in a world that no-one knows, we stand together thats how it goes. You make me feel I can touch the sky, getting higher as each day goes by. And dont ask the reason why, but for you tears turn to wine. Not a single day goes by, I dont sit and think at night, Why do you carry me as you fly? But I've gotta feeling everything's gonna be alright. But I've gotta feeling everything's gonna be alright. But I've gotta feeling everything's gonna be alright. But I've gotta feeling everything's gonna be alright. Never been afraid to bare my soul, so I turned to you when this bird had flown. She left me stranded on the side of the road, on my knee's so far from home.

Everybody's got a place, its in my mind, but its not the kind, you'd think you would find. Everybody's got a dream, its locked in my head, I wish it was dead, I'd live it instead. With their love they will burn us down, so Run For Your Life. The ghosts in this dead-end town, shine before my eyes. Everybody's got a love, mine's on the floor, she wanted more, I couldn't adore. Everybody wants to believe, in all that they see, sometimes it aint real, from your heart they will steal... the feelings you feel... And with their love they will burn us down, so Run For Your Life. The ghosts of this dead-end town, stand before my eyes. And with their guns they will shoot us down, so Run For Your Life. The ghosts of this dead-end town, shine before my eyes. Before my eyes, before my eyes, before my eyes. So Run For Your Life, Run For Your Life. So Run For Your Life, Run For Your Life.

Fly Away! 03:35
One more line, until you meet your best friend, no-ones ever gonna forget. One more night, until you reach your roads end, may your lies be filled with regret. And nothing can help you now, or so they say to you. And no-one can save your soul, its washed away in your eyes. So take this moment in, and let it blow you away. Cause no-one will call your name, Fly Away in the night! One more time, for you to spin your own mind, lie alone in wait for the girl. And now you shine, like a lighthouse so bright, reaching out to all the world. And nothing can help you now, or so they say to you. And no-one can save your soul, its washed away in your eyes. And who's gonna ahold your hand, through the test of time? And will there be an end, to the life you've justified? So take this moment in, and let it blow you away. Cause no-one will call your name, Fly Away in the night! One more line, until you meet your best friend, no-ones ever gonna forget.

Heartbreaker 04:32
And so you say that you want me out the way, but I'm here and I'll sit right by your side. And my head aches cause I feel everything you feel, take me back and we'll sail on through the night. And I know its coming but I'll just bide my time. You keep on running to a place you'll never find. And am I dreaming when I wake and there you lay? Cause you're my heartbreaker and I hope you're here to stay, yeah you're my heartbreaker and I hope you're here to stay. This hurricane spins around inside my brain, so I'll go and hide behind all these lies. And all I do is done only for you, and you'll see when you look into these eyes. That I know it's coming but I'll just bide my time. You keep on running to a place you'll never find. And am I dreaming when I wake and there you lay? Cause you're my heartbreaker and I hope you're here to stay, yeah you're my heartbreaker and I hope you're here to stay. You're my world-shaker and I love you. You're my moon-raker and I love you. You're my dream-maker and I love you. You're my Heartbreaker and I love you.

For every game you have played, no-one can ever lose. For every heart you have swayed, your blood runs lightening blue... through you. And everyone knows your name, now you're falling in love with yourself again. And I, will always wake up smiling. And you, will never give up flying. For every step you have made, I've moved back by two. For every face you have changed, I've proved it means nothing to you. Cause everyone knows your name, now you're falling in love with yourself again. And I, will always wake up smiling. And you, will never give up flying. Cause everyone knows your name, now you're falling in love with yourself again. And I, will always wake up smiling. And you, will never give up flying. And I, will always wake up, I'll never give up to your heart. And I, will always wake up, I'll never give up to your heart.

Hold On 03:59
Cast your mind to way back when you and me we were only friends, and this life seemed so far away. Time goes by and I cant pretend to believe your love when I never can, it just fills my heart with pain. The only thing I ever wanted, was for you to want me. So if you've got it you should flaunt it, cause its gone so easily. So hold on to your love, Hold On, Hold On, Hold On. So hold on to your love. Cast your mind to way back when you and me we were only friends, and this life seemed so far away. Time goes by and I cant pretend to believe your love when I never can, it just fills my heart with pain. The only thing I ever wanted, was for you to want me. So if you've got it you should flaunt it, cause its gone so easily. So hold on to your love, Hold On, Hold On. So hold on to your love, Hold On!
