[Verse 1]
Day after day
I feel like giving up (yes I do)
I lived your way Was that good enough (not for you)

[Chorus]
You've got to point your finger
You think you know it all
I want you to remember
I don't live for you
'Cause I'm against your laws

[Verse 2]
Can you hear me
I've just got to say (one thing more)
I'll say it clearly
Stay out of my way (that's for sure)

[Repeat Chorus]

We've still got the fire
Burning in our souls
But we're just rockin' harder
To make our music roll

[Repeat Chorus]


. . .



[Verse 1]
Livin' life on a wire
Never knowin' what to do
Cryin' to find me a reason to stay with you
Then I saw you with someone
Oooh babe now I know

[Chorus]
I gotta lay low, just let go
I gotta say no, girl just go
I'm sayin' two time girl I don't want you to stay
I took a real blow, hurt me so
You hit me real low, now I know
I'm sayin' two time woman don't come back this way

[Verse 2]
Hangin' out at a party
All my friends everywhere
Thought you were right beside me but you weren't there
Then I caught you with someone else
That's the end of the show

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
I took a real blow, hurt me so
You hit me real low, now I know
I'm sayin' two time woman don't come back this way
Don't come back


. . .



[Verse 1]
From the time I was a boy
I knew what I was born to do
Instead of playing with my toys
I'd play my songs, that's all I knew

[Bridge]
With a guitar in my hands everyday
My heart and soul would always say

[Chorus]
Rock the people
Rock the people

[Verse 2]
Now I've been around the world
I can't believe what I have seen
I've rocked with every guy and girl
Sometimes I think it's all a dream

[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]


. . .



[Verse 1]
Too many days go by
When we don't see eye to eye
We hold the key that will open all the doors
I just wish that we could give just a little more

[Chorus]
This time we've gotta stick together
Can't let our hearts turn into stone
We'll win this fight if we never say never
As two bodies, one mind one soul

[Verse 2]
I swore that I'd never give up on you
And you said that you would see this through
So let's light the fire that will burn the wall to the ground
Let's find what we thought could never be found

[Repeat Chorus twice]


. . .



[Verse 1]
I see you lookin' at me baby
I know what's on your mind
You just wanna come to my place
And have a real good time
Even though you look so fine
My reputation's on the line
I don't give my love away for free
Baby don't you throw yourself at me

[Chorus]
When I say no way you ask me why
Can't you see I'm not that kind of guy

[Verse 2]
Don't go cryin' to your friends babe
They won't understand
Call my mama and she'll tell you
I just ain't that type of man
Don't be playin' silly games
Girls like you are all the same
I would love to take your hand
But baby, I don't need no one night stand

[Repeat Chorus]


. . .



Shining star for you to see
What your life can truly be

When you wish upon a star
Dreams will take you very far
But when you wish upon a dream
Life ain't always what it seems
What you see, it looks so near
In the sky so very clear

[Chorus]
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you can truly be
Truly be

Shining star comes into view
To shine it's watchful light on you
Give you strength to carry on
Make your body big and strong

So if you find yourself in need
You've got to listen to these words of heed
Be a giant or grain of sand
Words of wisdom, yes i can

[Repeat Chorus]

[Fade]
Shining star for you to see
What your life can truly be


. . .



[Verse 1]
You try to put a tag on me, mama
You try to make out to be so good
You try to make love you like you think I should
You're hearin' stories 'bout me, baby
I'm not what you want me to be
Before you leave me, honey
I just want you to see

[Chorus]
I am just what I am
I'm an ordinary man
If you love me, you'll understand
I'm an ordinary man

[Verse 2]
When we first met the fire was burning, girl
But now I'm tied to so many things
But I still love you, honey, please don't set me free

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 3]
You went and left me all alone, baby
But I still want you, girl, to see
I'll always love you, honey, please come back to me

[Repeat Chorus]


. . .



[Verse 1]
I see you standin' there, oh so fine
I can't believe my eyes Girl, I just can't seem to make you mine
No matter how hard I try

[Bridge 1]
I've never wanted any one more than you
Girl, I'm hopin' that you're wantin' me too

[Chorus]
Lady, I wanna be your man
Lady...

[Verse 2]
Won't you tell me what I've gotta do
To win over your heart
This feeling inside is something new
It's tearin' me apart

[Bridge 2]
I never dreamed I would meet someone like you
Won't you tell me that you're feelin' it too

[Repeat Chorus]
Baby, I'll love you all I can
Lady...


. . .



[Verse 1]
You've been workin' hard
Tryin' to make your life appealing
You've got no regard
You don't know what the hell you're feeling

[Bridge 1]
You've got everything, live like a kink
But how will you live tomorrow?

[Chorus]
You're caught in the middle
And you don't know where to go
Turn it around, come back to the ground
Before you break and lose control

[Verse 2]
Are you here at all
Or are you at the point of no return
You've got to make a call
You've got to make a choice before you get burned

[Bridge 2]
You've got what it takes, make no mistakes
Don't live your life in sorrow

[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge 1]
[Repeat Chorus]


. . .



[Verse 1]
Take a look around, won't ya tell me what you see
Is there love to be found in this world's pain and misery?
Tell me, will it ever change?

[Chorus]
All for one and one for all
Isn't that the way that it should be
Will we ever change this world?
United we will stand up tall
United we will never fall
If it's all for one and one for all

[Verse 2]
Days are going by, its up to you to make a start
Before this world of ours turns to dust and falls apart
Right now I know we can make a change

[Chorus]
All for one and one for all
Isn't that the way that it should be
Will we ever save this world?
United we will stand up tall
United we will never fall
If it's all for one and one for all

[Repeat Chorus]


. . .



[Verse 1]
We're the thundering sons
We're the undying ones
With the power of good
Evil has never won

[Bridge 1]
With armies from heaven
We have fought with a rage
It's all in the rhythm
And the fire coming from the stage

[Chorus]
We will rock the hell out of you
We will rock the hell out of you

[Verse 2]
In the streets every day
We search for anyone
Who will fight anyway
Until the battle's won

[Bridge 2]
We thrust in our sabres
With the words that we sing
It's all in the rhythm
And the power coming from the stage

[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Bridge 1]
[Repeat Chorus]
