FALLEN

(Verse 1 & 2)
Little more
Just a little more
Let me dream you’re by my side
Don’t wake me

Mi amore
Let me dream a little more
Only place I feel alive

(Chorus)
No, I can’t believe how far
I can’t believe how far
How far I’ve fallen
Since I let you go

No, I can’t believe how far
I can’t believe how far
How far I’ve fallen
If only I’d known

(Verse 3 & 4)
Mi amore
I’d say, “Mi amore”
And you’d reach for me that way
It breaks me

Mi amore
Can’t look back there anymore
Cause it takes my hope away

(Chorus)
No, I can’t believe how far
I can’t believe how far
How far I’ve fallen
Since I let you go

No, I can’t believe how far
I can’t believe how far
How far I’ve fallen If only I’d known

BE A LIGHT

(Verse 1 & 2)
Walk a mile in a poor man’s shoes
See the world from a blind man’s view
Get a feel for the way life treats your sisters

Do the best that you can right now
Be the one with the light somehow
Find a child who is down and you go lift her
You lift her

(Chorus)
Be a light shining
Be a light shining for the world
You can be a light shining
Be a light that gives witness to your words

(Verse 3 & 4)
See the joy in a baby’s smile
Pass it on, make your day worthwhile
Leave a trail of wisdom in your footprints

Take stock of the ones you love
Think back on your times of luck
Live a life of hope that fills the distance

(Chorus)

(Tag Ending)
Dig it down, down deep
Dig it down deep
Where your heart’s so sweet
Dig it down
Dig it down deep
Where the love flows
Where the love flows

Dig it down, down deep
Dig it down deep
Where your heart’s so sweet
Dig it down
Dig it down deep
Where your love flows
Let your love flow

Ring now, ring now
Ring so loud and ring so pure now
Ring now
Let everybody hear you
Ring now, ring now
Ring so loud and ring so pure now
Ring now
Let everybody hear you

Yeah, ring now
Ring loud and ring so pure now
Ring now cause someone needs to hear you

(Verse 1)
She don’t care ’bout your cover-girl makeup
She don’t care bout your high-heel shoes
She don’t care ’bout the Hollywood gossip
She don’t Snapchat the pop-star news
She got no time for hallway divas
Smirkin’ down like you might offend
But she got your back, and she won’t play you
No, she won’t chase after your boyfriend
She got somethin’, all the boys feel it
Beg all they want but she won’t deal it

She got eyes like a guided missile
She locks on and you’re blown away
She got moves like the Special Forces
Mess with her she gonna make you pay
But she got passion and she got mercy
She got love meant to heal the world
She don’t think any child should suffer
Just so Rich Witch can buy new pearls (‘Bitch’ in uncensored version)
No, she don’t care about your politickin’

She’s a 21st Century Girl
She’s a 21st Century Girl

Here’s the sun
Here’s the moon
And all the stars I could gather

OVER YOU

Over you
You’d think by now I could say
I’m over you
But my heart stops
A room full of friends
And everything ends
The moment
You smile at me

Over you
Should be so easy to say
I’m over you
But I can’t breathe
As you cross the room
And I fear that soon
I’ll find out
You’re over me

So perfect together
Friends said
Obvious from the start
Crazy to break up
Rumors
So miserable apart

Over you
You stand so close I could fall
All over you
And slip away
Your touch stirs so deep
The precipice steep
Will we go over
Again

(Solo)

Over you
You stand so close I could fall
All over you
And slip away
Your touch stirs so deep
The precipice steep
Is it over
Is over once more over
Do we dare let love take over
Again

YOU’RE GONNA LOVE ME

(Verse 1)
At the county fair
Smiling right at you
But you just look down
Shy boy, you’ve got no clue
What you do to girls
What you do to me
But you’ll soon find out
Oh yeah, I guarantee

(Lift)
You’re gonna hear me say it
And it might be real soon
That I saw the love inside you
Long before you even knew

(Chorus)
You’re gonna love me
Just like I’ll love you
You’re gonna love me
All life long, yeah
It’s what we girls see
Long before you boys lead
You’re gonna love me
All our long life long
Oh yeah
All life long, yeah
Here we go

(Verse 2)
Three weeks go by ’til
Friends help us meet
And when I get you talking
Shy boy, you blush so sweet
But I see that light
Going on inside
Like you feel it too
And suddenly you realize

(Lift 2)
Somebody’s gonna tell you
And it might just be real soon
She saw the love inside you
Long before you even knew

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Six months later by your side
Walking on the beach in the bright moonlight
When you stop and lift my hands to your heart
And tell me what I’ve known right from the start, that

(Chorus)

All life long
All life long, yeah
All our long life long

JUST THE WAY I FEEL

Lightning struck me
Burned me empty
Cold and hollow
Hard with sorrow

No one ever tells you
That love can slowly kill you
But that’s
Just the way I feel, yeah
Now that’s just the way I feel

Fire still raging
No safe haven
Moods keep shifting
Flames keep lifting

Every time I see you
The memories burn me deep blue
Yeah that’s just the way I feel
Now that’s just the way I feel

No one ever tells you
That love can slowly kill you
Yeah that’s just the way I feel
Now that’s just the way I feel

Just the way I feel, yeah
Ohhh, just the way I feel
No, just the way I feel, yeah
Ohhh, just the way I feel
Umm, the way I feel
Ohhh, the way I feel

NOBODY GOT A HOLD ON ME

Walk it down that dusty road
Guitar case all I hold
Tell myself gonna win this time
Leave my past far behind
Hear the whistle, train is comin
Grab the guitar case, start running
Nothin else I need from you
Did my time, paid my dues
This poor boy’s guitar swearing
Right here right now
Nobody got a hold on me
Nobody got a hold on me
Nobody got a hold on me
Hold on me, hold on me (no)

Nobody has eyes like you
So cold that icy blue
Nobody can cut so deep
Knock me down, take my feet
Nobody can tease and taunt me
You make believe you want me
Then suddenly laugh and turn
Watch me die, feel me burn
This poor boy’s guitar swearing
Right here right now
Nobody got a hold on me
Nobody got a hold on me
Nobody got a hold on me
Hold on me, hold on me (now)

Hear the whistle, train is comin
Grab the guitar case start running
Nothin else I need from you
Did my time, paid my dues
This poor boy’s guitar swearing
Right here right now
Nobody got a hold on me
Nobody got a hold on me
Nobody got a hold on me
Hold on me, hold on me
Hah! – that’s what I say – nobody

BILLY (He’s Redlining)

(Verse 1)
Screamin’ down the highway on a mean-looking Harley
Burnin’ from a lover’s goodbye
Leaning on the corners like he leaned on the lady
Leaning ‘til the sparks are flying
Tattoo on his shoulder of The Reaper laughin’
Waiting for somebody to cry
Oh no, no, no, Billy don’t care if he dies

(Chorus)
He’s redlining (Oh yeah, but he’s running free)
Redlining (Never be what you want him to be)
He’s redlining right out of control
He’s redlining (Pushin’, always pushing hard)
Redlining (Diein’ to see how far’s too far)
He’s redlining right out of control

(Verse 2)
Pulling on the throttle ‘til he can’t hear the voices
Pounding like a hammer inside
Everybody wondering what happened to Billy
He used to be his Momma’s pride
But all he got at school was a major in dealing
Good lays and a kilo of lies
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Billy’s a king of disguise

(Chorus)

(Solo)

(Verse 3)
Billy hit the corner with the wind in his helmet
Screaming out a final farewell
Demon underneath him at a hundred and twenty
Carried Billy right into hell
Nobody’d believed he’d ever make it to thirty
Many thought he’d die any day
And oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Billy he’d liked it that way

(Chorus)

DIVIDED AND CONQUERED

(Verse 1)
Born in Chicago, raised in DC
No silver spoon, just my grandma and me
In that one-room apartment she kept me on track
Got me to college and said don’t look back
But they came to me one night and told me she’d died
All alone in that room where she’d helped me survive
And I sobbed like a child from the guilt in my bones
Divided and conquered I fell all alone

(Chorus)
Yes, divided and conquered we fall one by one
No one to help us when we come undone
Nobody there who can throw us a line
Divided and conquered we lose every time

(Verse 2)
Well, they sold me on freedom and I bought their lies
We massed in the desert, blood lust in our eyes
We would kill for our country and die for their king
Holders of Truth, we would kill ‘til we win
But their ‘bad guys’ were human, with children and dreams
And the nightmares still haunt me, the gunfire and screams
When the lies were exposed I was already home
Divided and conquered I fell all alone

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
I worked like a mad man, spent like a fool
Bowed to the boss man, obeyed every rule
Kept my mind on the job and my thoughts to myself
Just turned away when they fired someone else
So they upsized my workload and downsized my pay
Forty years in, took my pension away
There was nobody left when they came for my home
Divided and conquered I fell all alone

(Chorus)

RIGHT THERE WITH YOU

So far away
I might seem
So far away
But feel me
Right there right now
Always
Right there with you

So long ago
It feels like it was
So long ago
Our first kiss
But go there right now
And I’ll be
Right there with you

Time gives and time takes away
Life makes no promise to stay

Yet so deep we go
So fearless
Yes, so deep we go
Ad I’ll be
Right there, right now
Always right there with you

Time gives and time takes away
Life makes no promise to stay

So far away
I might seem
So far away
But feel me
Right there, right now
Always
Right there with you
Yeah, right there, right now
Always with you
