Amazing 04:40
I kept the right ones out And let the wrong ones in Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins There were times in my life When I was goin' insane Tryin' to walk through The pain When I lost my grip And I hit the floor Yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door I was so sick and tired Of livin' a lie I was wishin' that I would die It's amazing With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light It's amazing When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright It's amazing And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight That one last shot's permanent vacation And how high can you fly with broken wings? Life's a journey, not a destination And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings You have to learn to crawl Before you learn to walk But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah I was out on the street, Just a tryin' to survive Scratchin' to stay alive It's amazing With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light It's amazing When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright Oh, it's amazing And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight Desperate hearts, desperate hearts

Soldier 03:46
Where did all the people go? They got scared when the lights went low. I'll get you through it nice and slow, When the world's spinning out of control. Afraid of what they might lose Might get scraped or they might get bruised. You could beg them, what's the use? That's why it's called a moment of truth I'll get it if you need it, I'll search if you don't see it, You're thirsty, I'll be rain, You get hurt, I'll take your pain. I know you don't believe it, But I said it and I still mean it, When you heard what I told you, When you get worried I'll be your soldier. Funny when times get hard, At the last moment when you're supposed to charge, Always on the longest yard, Oh, they feel their feet getting cold. Hiding here, hiding there, Find them underneath the stairs, People hiding everywhere, Trying to be still like a stone. I'll get it if you need it, I'll search if you can't see it, You're thirsty, I'll be rain, You get hurt, I'll take your pain. I know you don't believe it, But I said it and I still mean it, When you heard what I told you, When you get worried I'll be your soldier. My aim is so true, I wanna show you, I'll try forever, I'm never gonna say "surrender". I'll get it if you need it, I'll search if you can't see it, You're thirsty, I'll be rain, You get hurt, I'll take your pain. I know you don't believe it, But I said it and I still mean it, When you heard what I told you, When you get worried I'll be your soldier. I'll be your soldier Well I'll be, oh I'll be your soldier I'll be your soldier

How many mountains must you face before you learn to climb? I'm gonna give you what it takes, my universal child I'm gonna try to find a way to keep you safe from harm I'm gonna be a special place, a shelter from the storm And I can see you, you're everywhere, your portrait fills the sky I'm gonna wrap my arms around you, my universal child And when I look into your eyes, so innocent and pure I see the shadow of the things that you've had to endure I see the tracks of every tear that ran right down your face I see the hurt, I see the pain, I see the human race And I can feel you, you're everywhere, shining like the sun I wished to god that kids like you could be like everyone How many tumbles must it take before you learn to fly? I'm going to help you spread your wings, my universal child I'm gonna try to find a way to keep you safe from harm We're gonna be a special place, a shelter from the storm I can feel you, you're everywhere, shining like the sun And I wished to god that kids like you could be like everyone And I wished to god that kids like you could be like everyone

I've had my share Of life's ups and downs But fate's been kind The downs had been few I guess you could say That I've been lucky And I guess you could say It's all because of you If anyone, should ever write, my life story For whatever reason there might be You'd be there Between each line of fame and glory 'Cause your the best thing that ever happened to me You're the best thing that ever happened to me Oh there have been times When times were hard But always somehow I made it through 'Cause for every moment I've spent hurting you There was a moment spent That I spent loving you If anyone should ever write my life story For whatever reason there might be You'd be there, between each line of fame and glory 'Cause your the best thing that ever happened to me You're the best thing that ever happened to me You're the best thing That ever happened me You're the best thing

When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all (all) I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you (ooo) I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind

Stoney End 02:31
I was born from love And my poor mother worked the mines I was raised on the Good Book Jesus Till I read between the lines Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the Stoney End I never wanted to go Down the Stoney End Mama let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again I can still remember him With love light in his eyes But the light flickered out and parted As the sun began to rise Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the Stoney End I never wanted to go Down the Stoney End Mama let me start all over Cradle me, mama, cradle me again (Cradle me, mama, cradle me again Mama, cradle me again...) Never mind the forecast 'Cause the sky has lost control 'Cause the furry and the broken thunders Come to match my raging soul Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the Stoney End I never wanted to go Down the Stoney End Mama let me start all over Cradle me, mama, cradle me again Going down the Stoney End...

Imagine 03:27
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You, you may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one

Life isn't easy Love never lasts You just carry on And keep moving fast I pulled off the highway And rolled into town I'm just fancy free babe And I travel 'round Sometimes I'm up Sometimes down Where can I run to How have I sinned When you cry like a rainstorm And you howl like the wind And my thoughts are filled with memories They won't let me be But if all the stars are shining bright Well they would not let me see It's so cold and the rain keeps blowing It's tearing through the town But I'm still fancy free darling And I travel 'round Sometimes I'm up Sometimes down Oh where can I run to How have I sinned When you cry like a rainstorm And you howl like the wind Sometimes I'm up Most times down Oh where can I run to Tell me how have I sinned When you cry like a rainstorm And you howl like the wind Who can I turn to Tell me where to begin When you cry like a rainstorm And you howl like the wind When you cry like a rainstorm And you howl like the wind
