There’s a feeling I Find Its changing our existence There’s a mood outside Its changing what we know How do we feel In the world as we know it? Gotta just know how to pay to play When the game is rigged We need a revolution And I said Ooh Give me something I need Ooh ……… This can’t last forever Ooh Give me something I need Ooh ……… This can’t last forever Have you seen the things I’ve seen Do you know the things I need Oh tell me, do you know ‘Cause the grass is always greener On the other side of poor And that’s for sure High up on the hill you stand Playing king And laying great big plans Who are you foolin’ ‘Cause I don’t need your little bit of charity If it doesn’t trickle down far enough for me Where’s the real solution And I said, Ooh Give me something I need Ooh ……… This can’t last forever Ooh Give me something I need Ooh ……… This can’t last forever Ooh Give me something I need Ooh ……… This can’t last forever Ooh Give me something I need Ooh ……… This can’t last forever

Trainwreck 04:48
Felt like a trainwreck Since seventeen Craved that place Where the streets seemed so mean I might blend It’d be my savior in the end well.. This girl she might fly free Free like that feelin’ I cant explain I’ll do some things Then be glad to walk away No doubting myself And no taking the blame I could be me And still play This girl she can play If I could change my name Shed a little piece of me Leave behind a little shame Don’t wanna stay the same I need to know this can’t you see I need to know this girl she will fly free Bought my ticket and I stood in the line Thought my savior would be My reckless joyride Wandered around Slipped into that crowd It didn’t matter I was inside out Its broken glass And a note on the stand Pick up the pieces Rise up if you can These mean streets Made me something I’m not Better turn around and follow my heart Turn around and follow this heart If I could change my name Shed a little piece of me Leave behind a little shame Don’t wanna stay the same I need to know this can’t you see I need to know this girl she will Fly free To make a change All that was my fear and rage I’ll shed it all and turn that page Escape this pain But hold it close, my soul ‘Cause it’s on fire Cant let it burn away Just to say that I’m okay But I’d still sell it all for piece of mind And nothing would be better I need to know this Cant you see I need to know this girl she will fly free I cant change but I can let it go Don’t wanna slip away into that undertow I might blend Might be my savior in the end But this girl she will fly free Yes this girl she will fly free If I could change my name Shed a little piece of me Leave behind a little shame Don’t wanna stay the same Oh this girl she will fly free This girl she will fly free

Me and You 04:27
Woke to the sound of running water For a moment the world seemed all bright and new In a dream I was father I was mother With no need to choose I could see a faceless being From the cliffs it shouted my name Its voice was getting further Yet like a mirror it showed my pain I was humble, I was bold But shaky just the same So I climbed the mountain Felt earth in the palm of my hands But dream’s thick veil so ever thin And it’s all just water on perfect skin I wanna say to you Nothing lasts the test of time like me and you And I wanna tell the truth I would wake a thousand times just to see you Like I do In between life and dream The water it still remained It fell across your shoulders To land on jagged black stones like rain I could feel you across The space and time again I cant explain Still dreams will fade Leaving messages all unknown As darkness gives away to day I think the best part of me’s at home I can’t help but feel There’s more to what I was shown So I climbed the mountain Felt earth in the palm of my hands But dream’s thick veil so ever thin And it’s all just water on perfect skin I wanna say to you Nothing lasts the test of time like me and you And I wanna tell the truth I would wake a thousand times just to see you Like I do I wanna say to you Nothing lasts the test of time like me and you And I wanna tell the truth I would wake a thousand times just to see you Like I do

I've got more than enough I ain't your puppet on a string Should have more than enough To change the shape I’m in I take more than enough Givin’ lovin’ when it just ain't free I’ve had more than enough No more heart out on my sleeve I’ve been livin' with no return Put my heart out to just get burned Still got the stuff and its more than enough Better lovin' from the lessons I’ve learned I don’t need no prophet to tell me what I should do Don’t need no Doc, no medicine man With a bitter pill I must chew But if I asked a wise one Oh they’d say the truth be told Ain't no point in waiting for a love that’s no show Ooh Give the love you want Ooh Take the love you need Ooh Give the love you want Ooh Get the love you need Ooh Give the love you want Ooh Get the love you need Ooh Give the love you need I’ve got more than enough It’s a feelin’ that I just cant shake And it’s more than enough For believing in twists of fate I’ve got only just enough For givin' lovin' when it ain't for keeps I give more than enough Time I get something I need I’ve been livin' with no return Put my heart out to just get burned Still got the stuff and its more than enough Better lovin' from the lessons I’ve learned I don’t need no prophet to tell me what I should do Don’t need no Doc, no medicine man With a bitter pill I must chew But if I asked a wise one Oh they’d say the truth be told Ain't no point in waiting for a love that’s no show Hey Give the love you want Hey Take the love you need Hey Give the love you want Hey Get the love you need Hey Give the love you want Hey Get the love you need Hey Give the love you need Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Oooh oohh …. Get the love you want

Rise Above 04:51
People It's time to come together ‘Cause I Cant sleep at night I fear we’ve lost our way See, your ideology Don’t mix with my philosophy Of decency and unity Leave all tricks at the door And I can’t buy What you’re sellin’ me So save your privilege and the reverie Got to see it to believe it What it really means To do better, better So tell me why You do only as you please Can’t feel the forest for the trees Think you see then don’t believe And tell me why What’s the message or don’t you know Just lay your guns down on the floor Got to rise above Rise above Rise Rise above, rise above, rise above yeah So help me Something’s rising ‘round the nation And I can’t help but find It ain't united that we stand See, I Am mystified I can’t comply and I can’t abide Gettin’ shady with the devil to be justified – Oh no no no So don’t you go callin' the upper hand All bullets and brawn Wagin’ war without a plan Just a finger on the trigger For the militant man It ain't better! So tell me why You do only as you please Can’t feel the forest for the trees Think you see then don’t believe And tell me why What’s the message or don’t you know Just lay your guns down on the floor Got to rise above Rise above Rise Rise above, rise above, rise above yeah

Bring me back in time To find all of those faded moving lines I’ll set them straight, Start again Maybe find my way on down the line ‘Cause I was Inside out, spinning upside down At the mercy of the wind to set my feet on the ground A fool for the thrill of a shipwreck love The promise of a treasure buried deep in the mud I don’t know what I was thinking On my own But not alone I know this That lonely’s nothing more than hungry I guess your love is better Left sailing on a sea that’s raging It’s said and done Like the language of a poet On the run I let it in I let it go All those urgent knocks upon my door I can’t be Inside out, spinning upside down At the mercy of the wind to set my feet on the ground A fool for the thrill of a shipwreck love The promise of a treasure buried deep in the mud I don’t know what I was thinking

Hold On 03:33
Hey how’s it been Is it feelin' pretty rough Guess your lookin' for some answers “cause your dream just ain't enough Its like runnin' round in circles Tongue tied, tangled in those knots Got that thing to make me shaky Like the other shoe will drop When you feel you cant go on All the hope is gone Just hold on When you feel you cant go on All the hope is gone Just hold on Hey keep it up There’s nothing here to prove No more of that tiny dancing On what feels like wasted youth Take a chance on love Or bigger stuff Its what we all must do Get tongue tied and tangled This song is meant for you When you feel you cant go on All the hope is gone Just hold on When you feel you cant go on All the hope is gone Just hold on Hey my friend Take a look at what you’ve got You’ve had your fair share of stick and stones And they sure do sting a lot But life you see, keeps moving free If you’re ready And if you’re not So a fool you’d be to bend a knee And crawl beneath that rock When you feel you cant go on All the hope is gone Just hold on When you feel you cant go on All the hope is gone Just hold on Hold on to that thing that makes you you Cause there’s nothing ever better baby Yes I know you can shine a light on all you do We can live and we can cry We can fight and we can die We can give our souls to angels Or look devils in the eye But really all I know Is that it’s just one day at a time When you feel you cant go on All the hope is gone Just hold on Hold on yeah Just hold on Hold on Just hold on When you feel you cant go on And All the hope is gone Just hold on Oh just hold on yeah Hold on Just Hold on Just hold on baby Just hold on baby Just hold on baby Just hold on babe Just hold on Hold on yeah Yeah yeah

I didn’t hear you coming Right behind the shadow line that grin I had no way of knowing If you'd ever leave or when You’re like ice cold fingers Upon my skin May leave me breathless But not your turn to win I took you on and I found that dose To send you back The only way that I know You can't rattle my chain You can’t take me down again You can't rattle my cage ‘Till you have me all alone You can't dig deep Right to my bones You can't shake me down ‘Cause I don’t owe You can’t rattle my cage ‘Till you have me all alone I’m ravaged and I’m weary Somehow, I can survive your weight But empty is this ocean Climbed a thousand mountains And never reached the peak I had a different plan Yet here I am A soul survivor Rubble upon which I stand I shall not fade or go away Can't give in Not today You can't rattle my chain You can’t take me down again You can't rattle my cage ‘Till you have me all alone You can't dig deep Right to my bones You can't shake me down ‘Cause I don’t owe You can’t rattle my cage ‘Till you have me all alone

Dreamer 05:04
Some they say that I’m a dreamer I don’t know So maybe I am I put my faith in mother nature Livin’ life like I’m out on the lam I take my shot without a chaser Beer back ain't the way that I roll So thank you ma’am and see you later I like your smile so maybe I’ll call But don’t you wait up late For this lover’s heart to fall I’m on the road Hey hey hey yeah Ain't lookin’ back I’m a dreamer on the fast track Ain't got no heavy load Just a dreamer or so I’m told May see me comin’ Wont see me go I’m a dreamer on the road I hate not drinkin’ Sober ain't my thing I do better when I feel it And the booze takes away that sting I ain't sayin’ I’m a lush oh no I do it when it’s right But it ain't easy to lay it All out on the line Oh everybody’s a critic Everybody wants a show Everybody wants to feel something But they don’t really know There’s a life out on the line Just a bootstrap tug in time ‘Cause it’s a dozen for a dime Better pony up I’ll give you mine I’m on the road Ain't lookin’ back I’m a dreamer on the fast track Ain't got no heavy load Just a dreamer or so I’m told May see me comin’ Wont see me go I’m a dreamer on the road I’m your free spirit Whatever that means I’ll take you where you wanna go But you know I’m gonna leave There’s a smile like yours In every city I’ve been I’ve cherished everyone of them And still wouldn’t change a thing ‘Cause it’s a dozen for a dime I’ve sung a thousand lines I’m on the road Ain't lookin’ back I’m a dreamer on the fast track Ain't got no heavy load I’m a dreamer on the long road May see me comin’ Won’t see me go I’m a dreamer on the road

Paid My Dues 03:57
I wanna tell you something Its on my mind Just cant leave it And walk on down that line I want you know I’m on this road Back to you When I paid my dues I wrote you a letter To say it all Burned through the pages Of all our rise and fall But all I know I’m on this road Back to you When I paid my dues Oooh Back to You Oooh Its all I can Do Ooh Back to You Day By Day See I wrote you a letter To say it all Burned through the pages Oh of all our rise and fall But all I know I’m on this road Back to you When I paid my dues I wont be long Maybe it’s right And maybe it’s wrong With all my love I need hands untied Leave a light on This ain't goodbye I wanna tell you something Its on my mind Just cant leave it And walk on down that line I want you know I’m on this road Back to you When I paid my dues
