Wake up and come alive or this life will pass you by. You may not feel you’re prepared, and hell I know that you’re scared. But when the dawn arrives, won’t you come alive. We seem to have lost our regard for all that’s outside our backyard. And it is important to know our voice is just one of the soul. So as the dawn arrives, hey let’s come alive hey let’s come alive. Hope and love and greed and hate. What we think we create. So let’s get clear on what we fear before we end this time. Ignorance is just a term for people who refuse to learn.

Whoa Oh Oh Oh. Come alive come alive .Yeah let’s come alive. Come alive come alive. Won’t you come alive. Come alive come alive. Hey let’s come alive. Yeah let’s come alive.

GOOD TIMES

Gotta get back on the aeroplane. Two more days then I’m home again. I gotta get back to all the good times of my life. World’s moving fast as a freight train with thundering clouds speak of too much rain. I gotta find my way to the light side of the sky. Good Times are all I wanna see fun for you and me to be right back where we feel good inside each other’s arms can’t come to no more harm. California here I come. Mindless fools fuel the jet stream careless thought seems to drive everything. I wanna fight for my soul but the world seems drawn to fear. Trouble informs the worldview, but good friends and good times will help to see us through. We gotta get on to that place where we all belong. Good Times are all I wanna see fun for you and me to be right back where we feel good inside each other’s arms can’t come to no more harm. California here I come. Good Times are all I wanna see fun for you and me to be right back where we feel good inside each other’s arms can’t come to no more harm. California here I come. Forgetting the truth is the way down, but dreams of the stars is what built this town. I gotta get back to what I know will bring me home. Good Times are all I wanna see fun for you and me to be right back where we feel good inside each other’s arms can’t come to no more harm. California here I. Good Times are all I wanna see fun for you and me to be right back where we feel good inside each other’s arms can’t come to no more harm. California here I come. Hey California here I come. Hey California here I come.

THE WORLD OUTSIDE

I lay awake at night I am hardly breathing. Haunted by my broken dreams, I realize what’s real. Well if I ever said I thought the human race was winning then I was wrong cos everyone and everything’s a mess. And I wake up now and I see the world outside cluttered with my broken dreams like the plastic on the tide. And I see the air and the patterns of my mind decipher all the words you speak like the mask you try to hide. Sometimes I feel my attitude is slipping. Swallowed by my broken dreams I hope to understand. But then the universe it assures me we’re enduring that life is good and anyone and everything can grow. And I wake up now, and I see the world outside. Inspired by our broken dreams and the chance to clean the tide. And though I see the air through the patterns of my mind, I listen to the words you speak and see the mask you try to hide. The time has come to honor inner knowing. Pick up all our broken dreams. Start a path to our success.

THE SPACE BETWEEN

Darkness falls, and I’m alone to harbor longings of my soul. wo-oh. What is creating this waiting well something’s gotta change for on this Earth we will remain. Where do we go from here. How do we leave behind this aching fear. Behind these answers are questions that we may never know. This is a dark and lonely road. The space between the right and wrong has got us right where we don’t belong. I wonder now what holds this tide. What I knew then I still know now. Forward I go but I don’t know how to unlock the truth I hold inside for these changing times. Round and round and round we go. It feels insane so something’s gotta change. What leaves us now, I will forgive. Regret is wasted on those who remain to live The journey’s waiting forsaking our fated bitter end. Without hope, it won’t begin. The space between the right and wrong has got us right where we don’t belong. I wonder now what holds this tide. What I knew then I still know now. Forward I go, but I don’t know how to unlock the truth I hold inside for these changing.. Round and round and round we go. This is insane so something’s gotta change. This is the dawning of our time. I will begin by changing my mind.

WHAT WE WERE MEANT TO BE

You tell me it might be our last chance. So let’s investigate the weakness and show it to the door. You say that we need some intervention. Well, everyone’s a critic. I just need to come alive. And if you would look into my eyes, you would find the strength to recognize that maybe you and I could be what we were meant to be. You say that we are not empowered. Yet, information rules the forecast. We can still afford to learn. You tell me we cannot change perception. Well, hope loves redemption, and hope is what I know. So if you would look in to my eyes, you would find the strength to recognize that maybe you and I could be what we were meant to be. No one can fight the good fight all alone. And baby your heart, it is my home. Together is the only way we’ll be what we were meant to be. No more will I bend to your desires, not when I can choose to walk the wire. And in the end we’ll be what we will see. How free we’re meant to be.

SHY AWAY

Lost in some bright starlight, I see nothing but my youth, my green despair. Forgotten times of restless nights so beautiful. I dance inside this air. I go walkin’ by the moonlight speaks my name. It calls me magnificent, but I shy away again from everything that’s tempting. Last days I, I cannot seem to find the refuge of my space, but everyone believes it’s good and truth and love are decadent and you…I spy your face, and it makes me smile. Don’t shy away from everything. Don’t shy away from everything. Don’t shy away from anything.

CONFESSIONAL

I like a good lovin’. I like a good lovin’. There’s a place that you should know where few have ever sought to go. It is a place that I desire. It ignites the passion of my fire. So if you dare to see this through, it’ll set you free, I promise you. And never more shall I deny what makes me whole, I will not hide. I like a good lovin’. I like a good lovin’. What we’re taught and what we’re told doesn’t always make it so. I feel on this cold winter’s night there’s a ritual we shouldn’t fight. And in this moment I confess, I’ll shed my skin and all the rest. Why bother with the right and wrong when the thought of you turns me on. I like a good lovin’. I like a good lovin’. I like a good lovin’.

WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE OF LIGHT

Guided blindly by angels of the light. Be your witness and sanctify your sight. Institutions made of man have their faith on sinking sand. Rest ye weary soul before you die. Well I am not a prophet or so I am told. Malevolence behind me as I go. Live the truth a solemn vow. You say I do then tell me how, well nothing lasts forever, that is true. And it isn’t wrong to worry after all when you see the signs of fury standing tall. Nestled in your fortitude, you look at me and I see you. Welcome to the dark side of light. Yeah welcome to the dark side of light. And it isn’t wrong to worry after all when you see the signs of fury standing tall. Irreverence they will say you’ll do, but nothing’s worse than betraying you. Welcome to the dark side of light. Yeah, welcome to the dark side of light. Freedom’s witness is just outside that door open and waiting for all you’ve wanted more.

FLESH AND BLOOD

I try to understand the resolutes of man. It’s his business evil sickness. Get out while you can. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. They try to null the pain, but what is it we’ve gained. Woman mother child and daughter do we live in vain. Seek the wholesome truth. No vanity for youth. Mother’s cryin’ babies dyin’ we know what we must do. WE know what we must do. Save us while we can. Together, we take the stand. Flesh and blood we’ve understood this brotherhood of man, this brotherhood of man.

DARKNESS COMES BEFORE THE DAWN

If I were to say to you that maybe we should think this through. Would you consider or only remember your view. They say that we should compromise, but without love it’s a lie. Cherish our difference, or we are just killing our time. We battle on, our convictions lead the way. But do we know what’s really happening. The darkness comes before the dawn. It was never meant to stay. Unending, we evolve along the way. Caught between what is real our anger fuels what we feel. Forget all our limits, the future’s not ours to steal. Loyalty, truth, and pride, why these things must we hide. Follow your spirit, wake up, and prove you’re alive. The darkness comes before the dawn. It was never meant to stay. Unending, we evolve along the way. Words all have a consequence. What happened to our common sense. This darkness was never meant to stay. The darkness comes before the dawn. It was never meant to stay. The darkness comes before the dawn. The darkness comes before the dawn. It was never meant to stay. The darkness comes before the dawn. The darkness comes before the dawn. The darkness comes before the dawn.It was never meant to stay.
