1.We Weren't Born To Follow
This one goes out to the man who minds the miracles
This one goes out the ones in need
This one goes out the sinner and the cynical
This aint about no apology
This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change
Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when the call your name？
Yea, Yea, Yea,
We Weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun
will shine tomorrow
And that's a saints and sinners pleas
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say
Yea, Yea, Yea, ooooohhh,, Yea
This ones about anyone who does it differently
This ones about the one who doesn't sit and spits
This ain't about our living in a fantasy
This ain't about giving up or giving in
Yea, Yea, Yea,
We Weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that's a saints and sinners pleas
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say
Yea, Yea, Yea, ooooohhh,, Yea
Let me hear you say
Yea, Yea, Yea, oooohhhhh, Yea

2.When We Were Beautiful
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
I'm hanging in
You're holding on
I can't pretend
That nothings changed
Livin' in the shadows
Of the love we made
Back When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
Some dreams live
Some will die
But the you in me
Is still alive
Now am I blessed Or am I cursed？
Cause the way we are Aint the way we were
Back When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
So much less
Meant so much more
Back When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
Back When we were beautiful
Back When we were beautiful
Back When we were beautiful
Back When we were beautiful
3.Work For The Working Man
I'm here trying to make a living
I ain't living just to die
Never getting back what I'm giving
Can someone somewhere help me justify
Why these strong hands are on the unemployment line
Now there's nothing left But whats on my mind
Who's gonna work for the working man
Hurt for the working man
Get your hands in the dirt
Who's gonna work off the curse
Brother, I'll be damned
If I don't raise a hand
Whose gonna work work work work
For the working man

Empty pockets full of worry
Had to get two jobs and It was hard enough just getting by
With the grace of god I'll get us through
I only know what I know how to do
I'm the only one who's got to look my family in the eye
Day after day
Night after night
Who's gonna work for the working man

4.Superman Tonight
There's something about you
I want to rescue
I don't even know you
So what does that mean
Maybe I'm cynical
I'm Painfully logical
You're tragic and beautiful
And that's good enough for me
You're looking for a hero
But it's just my old tattoo
Tonight I swear I'd sell my soul
To be a hero for you
Who's going to save you when the stars fall from your sky
Who's going to pull you in when the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you when you turn out the lights
I won't lie
I wish that I
Could be your superman tonight
If somebody sent you
An angel to save you
What would you tell him
To turn him away
That your heart dont break？
That your lips don't kiss？
That life is just a lie？
That heaven don't exist？
Who's going to save you when the stars fall from your sky
Who's going to pull you in when the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you when you turn out the lights
I won't lie
I wish that I
Could be your superman tonight
Who's going to fix you
The next time you break down
Stranded alone by the side of the road
Its your baggage that's dragging you down
Don't look back, let it go
Ooh-ooh
Who's gonna save you when the stars fall from your sky
Who's gonna pull you in when the tide gets too high
who's gonna hold you when you turn out the light
I won't lie
I wish that I
Was that superman
Who'se gonna save you when the stars fall from your sky
Who's gonna pull you in when the tide gets too high
who's gonna hold you when you turn out the light
I won't lie
I wish that I
Could be your superman tonight

Ooh-ooh
5.Bullet
Dateline early Sunday morning
Shots ring out without a warning
No one seems to even blink in this town
Two dead and a baby missing
Sirens screaming in the distance
A Mother pleading bring my baby home now
For the pink slip of an SUV
A night cut down with tragedy
His defense another generation breakdown
Yeah, yeah
What is the distance
Between a bullet and a gun
God are you listening
Or have you just given up
Corporate countries go to war
Behind the lies they're fighting for
And Black gold from an old king's soul won this round
How can someone take a life
In the name of God and say it's right
How does money lead to greed
When there's still hungry mouths to feed
Yeah, yeah
What is the distance
Between a bullet and a gun
God are you listening
Or have you just given up
We need forgiveness
We all need a lot of love
We need some hope
We need it now
A little faith man help me out
I'll learn to pray
But its to late now
Yeah, yeah
What is the distance
Between a bullet and a gun
God are you listening
Or have you just given up
What is the distance
Between a bullet and a gun
We need forgiveness
We all need a lot of love
A lot of love
Yeah, yeah
6.Thorn In My Side
Thorn in my side
You're always there
Just to remind me
That I still care
Thorn in my side
You won't let me go
Right there beside me
To let me know
I've been pushed around
Been knocked down
Lost a round or three
Life took a couple of things I loved
When I was Too blind to see
But I'll survive
I gave up on luck But I'm still getting by
Yeah, I'm going to be alright
You can test my faith
But you can't take my pride
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
You just won't quit
Once in a while when I crack a smile
You rub it in my face
Thorn in my side
You won't let me run
God bless the fights
That I've lost and won
But I'll survive
I gave up on luck But I'm still getting by
Yeah, I'm going to be alright
You can test my faith
But you can't take my pride

You can test my faith
But you can't take my pride
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side

7.Live Before You Die
I was a little boy of 9 years old
The whole world in his hands
Trying to toss that ball across the yard
A game of catch with my old man
He would always say I'm sorry
Every time he had to leave
And I was much too young to understand
When he would say to me
When you're young, you always think
The sun is going to shine
There will come a day when you have to say hello to Goodbye
Sit on down son take my hand
Look me in the eye
Take these words, promise me
You'll live before you die
I was barely seventeen, summer of seventy-nine
Already I was feeling like I was running out of time
I had this girl, we fell in love
or Should I say that she had me
Then one fateful night changed our lives
And made a memory
When you're young, you always think
The sun is going to shine
There will come a day when you have to say hello to Goodbye
She laid me down, she took my hand
Looked me in the eye
And just before she kissed me she said
You got to live before we die
Live before you die
You learn to love, to live
You fight and you forgive
You learn what's wrong and right
You Live before you die
I made mistakes, I caught some breaks
But I got no regrets
There's some things I don't remember
But one thing I don't forget
When you're young, you always think
The sun is going to shine
One day you're going to have to say hello to Goodbye
Shout it out, let someone somewhere know you're alive
Take these words wear them well
Live before you die
Live before you die
Hey
Live before you die
You learn to love, to live
You fight and you forgive
You face the darkest night
Just live before you die
8.Brokenpromiseland
Angels falling from the sky
Imagine that, imagine that
Nobody getting out of here alive
No turning back, no turning back
Who's gonna bail out all our shattered dreams
And scrape some truth off of these city streets
No time for praying, get up off your knees
There's hope I know
Out on that lonely road
cause home is where you are and where I am
Breathe in, breathe out
There's only now
And all I got, I'm holding in my hands
We're breaking out of
Brokenpromiseland
Let's close our eyes and just disappear
Slip through the cracks, no looking back
We'll get a million miles away from here
And let the past just fade to black
So what you learn to live with your regrets
No need to fear what hasn't happened yet
Life will get you but you can't forget
There's hope, I know
Out on that lonely road
cause home is where you are and where I am
Breathe in, breathe out
There's only now
And all I got, I'm holding in my hands
We're breaking out of
Brokenpromiseland
So rise, my falling angel
Come on now, Come on now
Shine Don't let them break you
Come on now
Come on now
Come on now
Come on now
Come on now
Come on now
Come on now
Come on
There hope, I know
Out on that lonely road
cause home is where you are and where I am
Breathe in, breathe out
There's only now
And all I got, I'm holding in my hands
We're breaking out of
Brokenpromiseland
Breaking out of
Brokenpromiseland
Breaking out of
Brokenpromiseland
9.Love's The Only Rule
I don't give a damn how it's supposed to be
That might work for you, it don't work for me
You write your truth and I'll write mine
One man's ceiling's another man's sky high
Flying like an aeroplane
Crying like the lonely whistle of a long black train
Dance in the pouring rain
Spit in the eye of a hurricane
Who said life's got to be so cruel
Love's the only rule
It's written in the stars where I fit in
It's going to hurt sometimes, you got to lose to win
You got your sins and I got mine
Sell your secrets, kiss them all goodbye
Flying like an aeroplane
Alive like a lonely note from John Coltrane
Run like it's a getaway
Say those things that you shouldn't say
Think about it, wouldn't it be cool？
Love's the only rule
Might be a wrecking ball
Or just a wake up call
Don't matter where the pieces fall
Woohoo's
Woohoo's
Woohoo's
I'm gonna fly like an aeroplane
Cry like the whistle of a long black train
Dance in the pouring train
I'm alive like a lonely note from John Coltrane
Run like its a getaway
Say those things that you shouldn't say
Where love, Love's the only rule
Yes love, Love's the only rule
Oh love, Love's the only rule
Oh love, the only rule
Love's the only rule
Woohoo's
Woohoo's
10.Fast Cars
How can I defend
'Let's live for now and not then'
We're chasing taillights,
let them fade into the distance
Let's say the engine stalled and start again
Turn around, let's turn around
It's a dark road we been heading down
Trust me tonight I swear I know where we are
We're gonna run all the lights
We're gonna blow right through the radar
Fast cars
We are fast cars
How can I pretend The signs don't say dead end
So many hearts just wind up in a junkyard
where memories are nothing but spare parts
Turn around, just turn around
and leave the past behind us now
Come on, we ain't gonna crash
this time we ain't slowing down
We'll pull ahead of the pack
Slip thru the cracks cause we are
Fast cars
On a long ride Take your foot off the brake
Let's just put it in drive
We are fast cars On the inside
There's no turning back
On the highway of life
Fast cars
We are fast cars
(Sha la, sha la)
Flying through the stop signs
(Sha la, sha la)
Running over bad times
(Sha la, sha la)
Gunning down the daylight
Counting days like white lines
Holding on for our lives
We are fast cars
We are fast cars
On a long ride
Take your foot off the brake
Let's just put it in drive
We are fast cars
On the inside
There's no turning back
On this highway tonight
(Sha la, sha la)
(Sha la, sha la)
We are fast cars
(Sha la, sha la)
We are fast cars
We are fast cars
11.Happy Now
What would you say to me
If I told you I had a dream
If I told you everything
Would you tell me to go back to sleep
Take a look in these tired eyes
They're coming back to life
I know I can change, got hope in my veins
I tell you I ain't going back to the pain
Can I be happy now？
Can I let my breath out
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just wanna scream out loud
Can I be happy now？
Been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I'm turning my world around
Can I be happy now
Can I break free somehow
I just wanna live again
Love again
Pick my pride up off of the ground
I'm ready to pick a fight
Crawl out of the dark to shine a light
I ain't throwing stones, got sins of my own
Ain't everybody just trying to find a way home
Can I be happy now？
Can I let my breath out
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just wanna scream out loud
Can I be happy now？
Been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I'm turning my world around
You're born then you die, it's all gone in a minute
I ain't looking back, 'cause I don't want to miss it
You better live now
Cause no one's going to get out alive
Can I be happy now？
Can I let my breath out
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just wanna scream out loud
Can I be happy now？
Been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I'm turning my world around
Can I be happy now？
I'm turning my world around
Can I be happy now？
12.Learn To Love
I have run from the truth
Since the days of my misspent youth
I was hungry for kindness
I was lost in life's blindness
When you're born without wings
All you dream of,
all you want is that feeling of flying
Of rising and climbing
Halle, halle,
we're one breath away
halle, halle,
from our judgement day
You Leave it all on the table
If you lose or you win
You've got to learn to love the world you're living in
Always thought I'd die young
In these hands I held the gun
But it's too late for dying
Now there's nothing worth hiding
I've lost love, lived with shame
I was humbled by my fall from grace
On the steps of decision
It's revenge or forgiveness
Halle, halle,
we're one breath away
Halle, halle,
from our judgement day
Leave it all on the table
If you lose or you win
You got to learn to love the world you're living in
Halle, halle
Halle, halle
Halle, halle,
we're one breath away
Halle, halle,
from our judgement day
Leave it all on the table
If you lose all you win
You've got to learn to love the world you're living in
Halle, halle, and that's how it is
You've got to learn to love the world you're living in
Halle, halle
Halle, halle
Halle, halle
