Survivor Greatest Hits 1 Lyrics
1.Eye Of The Tiger

Risin' up -- back on the street,
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive --
So many times, it happens too fast,
You trade your passion for glory,
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past,
You must fight just to keep them alive
*It's the Eye of the Tiger,
It's the thrill of the fight,
Rising up to the challenge of our rival,
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night,
And he's watching us all
With the Eye of the Tiger.*

Face to face -- out in the heat,
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive --

( * Repeat)

Risin' up -- straight to the top,
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive --

( * Repeat)


2.High On You

There you stood, that'll teach ya
To look so good and feel so right
Let me tell you 'bout the girl I met last night
It's understood, I had to reach ya
I let the wheel of fortune spin
I touched your hand before the crowd
Started crushin' in
Now I'm higher than a kite
I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle
Of the street and I --

*I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl
I must be living in a fantasy world
I've searched the whole world over
To find a heart so true
Such complete intoxication
I'm high on you*

Smart and coy, a little crazy
The kinda face that starts a fight
Let me tell you 'bout the girl I had last night
Piercin' eyes, like a raven
You seemed to share my secret sin
We were high before the night
Started kickin' in
Now I'm screamin' in the night
I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle
Of the street and I --

( * Repeat)


3.I Can't Hold Back

There's a story in my eyes
Turn the pages of desire
Now it's time to trade those dreams
For the rush of passion's fire
I can feel you tremble when we touch
And I feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
I've been holding back the night
I've been searching for a clue from you
I'm gonna try with all my might
To make this story line come true
Can ya feel me tremble when we touch
Can ya feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
This love affair can't wait

*I can't hold back, I'm on the edge
(I can't hold back)
You voice explodes inside my head
I can't hold back, I won't back down
Girl it's too late to turn back now*

Another shooting star goes by
And in the night the silence speaks to you and I
And now the time has come at last
Don't let the moment run too fast
I can feel you tremble when we touch
And I feel the hand of fate reaching out to both of us
There's a story in my eyes, turn the pages of desire
Now it's time to trade those dreams
For the rush of passion's fire

( * Repeat)


4.Is This Love

I've heard talk of blind devotion
Lovers through thick and thin
Lives touched with real emotion
Faithful 'til the bitter end
Now, I must admit that the story's attractive
I've lost in far too many affairs
I've seen all the pain that the morning can bring
I need to prove to myself
This is more than a crush
Can you convince me
It's not just the physical rush

*Is this love that I'm feelin'
Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
Is this love tha I'm feelin
Is this love*

So many nights in blind confusion
I've walked the line of love
We reach out in disillusion
When one night isn't nearly enough
Now, I'd like to know that for once in my life
I'm sure of what tomorrow may bring
I've heard all your talk, can I take it to heart
Now look me straight in the eye
Cause tonight is the night
We've got to ask each other
If the moment is right

( * Repeat)

I've tread those mean streets, blind alleys
Where the currency of love changes hands
All touch -- no feeling
Just another one night stand
I need to know that there's someone who cares
Could you be the angel to answer my prayers?

( * Repeat)


5.Poor Man's Son

Baby if you really love me
You had better understand
That the silver in your pocket
Ain no measure of a man
*And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you e born into a breed
You e signed in blood*

**I a poor mans son
Workin?all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song
You e a rich mans daughter
Look at what you e done
You went and fell in love
With a poor mans son**

Baby you were born in splendor
To a house of wealth and fame
Your mother was a spender
And you grew up on a stage

And girl you coulda loved for money
Coulda fooled around for fame
You went and took a chance
On the real thing

( * Repeat )
( ** Repeat )


6.Burning Heart

Two worlds collide - rival nations,
It's a primitive clash - venting years of frustrations,
Bravely we hope against all hope - there is so much at stake.
Seems our freedom's up against the ropes.
Does the crowd understand?
Is a East versus West, or man against man,
Can any nation stand - alone.

*In the burning heart - just about to burst,
There's a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst,
In the darkest night - rising like a spire,
In the burning heart - the unmistakable fire.*

In the warriors code - there's no surrender,
Though his body says stop - his spirit cries - never!
Deep in our soul a quiet ember,
Knows it's you against you, it the
Paradox that drives us on -
It's a battle of wills, in the heat of attack,
It's the passion that kills -
The victory is yours alone.

(* Repeat)


7.The Search is Over

How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you

*I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
The search is over
You were with me all the while*

Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate

( * Repeat)

Now the miles stretch out behind me loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck it finally stuck like lightning from the blue
Every highway leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain the man I really am

( * Repeat)


8.Desperate Dreams

Two dreamers, what would it feel like to meet by light of day
So lonely, wouldn't if feel right to love this night away
Your name keeps echoing down this wishing well
Wild hearts on an endless flight, set free in our dreams tonight

*Two souls drawn to the fire in desperate dreams
Two hearts lost to desire's desperate schemes
One girl lost in a reverie
Lost love found in a memory
Those nights live on forever
Two fools lost in a desperate dream*

Torn pages, more than a memory, pieces of the past
One vision, your image keeps haunting me, a love too good to
last
Your voice keeps echoing down this wishing well
Wild hearts on an endless flight, set free our dreams tonight

(* Repeat)

One love divided burns brightly through the night
Two dreams united until the morning light

(* Repeat)


9.How Much Love

How can I tell you
To put it all in words
There is so much left to say
But the meaning slips away
How can I show you
To see it through my eyes
Don't deny that part of you
That's been dying for it too
How do I know if I give you too much
Will I snare you away
How do I know when to leave you alone
When to beg you to stay
I wanna know

*Just how much love does it take
To get to you
I stand here ready to break
Tell me, tell me
How much love does it take*

Moment to moment
I don't know where it stands
Will I end up like the rest
Well it's anybody's guess
Can I persuade you
So softly in a touch
It is all a waste of time
Well I'm only wasting mine
How do I know if I give you too much
Will I scare you away
How do I know when to leave you alone
When to beg you to stay
I wanna know

( * Repeat)

How do I know when to leave you alone
When to beg you to stay
I wanna know

( * Repeat)


10.Man Against the World

Have you ever walked alone at night
Like a man against the world
No one takes your side
A boat against the tide
When your faith is shaken you start to break
And your heart can't find the words
Tossed upon the sand
I give you a man against the world
All the people cheer 'til the end is near
And the hero takes a fall
Then they'll drag you through the mud
You're only flesh and blood
I have walked the path from dark to light
And they've yet to come to terms
Alone I take my stand
I'm only a man against the world

And love, like a distant reminder
It tugs at my shoulder
It calls me home
I shout, can a single voice carry
Will I find sanctuary within your arms
Someday when the answer's clearer
Someday when I even the score
You'll reach and you'll find me near you
Right beside you
Forevermore

But for now I'll walk the night alone
Like a man against the world
A brand new day will shine
Through the avalanche of time
Now the road's grown long, but the spirit's strong
And the fire within still burns
Alone I take my stand
I give you a man against the world
