Raised up on mid-western dreams
Only a few shall get What everyone shall need I took my family's burden Strapped it to my chest A few hundred bucks, And a kiss for luck And I pointed my dreams west To California Come rescue me California I am almost free I kept on driving to the setting sun Galaxies of angels Welcome everyone I took my heart out of its box Attached it to my sleeve Well, I will be here every night Because that's what I believe In California Come rescue me California I am almost free I will find my love I will know my peace I will seek my truth I am almost free I am almost free... I am almost free I am almost free I am almost free In California I am almost free In California I am almost free (Rescue me) California I am almost free |

First time I saw you
Back in 1982 An LA bar I've come so far In my Kansas dancing shoes I'm just a singer And I'm looking for a song Do you want to sing along? Two greyhounds later And I'm feeling alright I've got to have you And it must be tonight Come on back to my place Well, it's really just a room But I'll be making some money soon Goodbye and thank you Oh, my number, yeah- please phone Two or three weekends On the 405 alone You say come on and stay And when you sing down at the bar It will not be so far <i>[Chorus:]</i> And I tried to do my best I never meant to hurt no-one I was waiting for my break That I knew one day would come And I'd plug in my guitar And I'd look out across the room And I'd dig into my heart And I'd try to sing the truth And I know I did my best I never meant to hurt no-one As I recall Back in 1982 I never said goodbye or why I just left a note for you Then one night I saw you Across the road, Across the dark A shameful spear into my heart Your look was haunting An unexpected pain I am so sorry For the unexpected rain The sadness that you kissed The fresh scars on your wrist I can't make it go away <i>[Chorus]</i> Good night ladies Good night I'm gonna leave you now, Good night ladies Good night I'm gonna leave you now. (Sleep tight) |

I'm sending out a message to myself
So that when I hear it on the radio I will know that I am fine, I will know that I am loved. I warned myself of the blackness in my chest The razors in my heart would never rest It's funny how you find just what you seek Love is what you get when love is what you speak I'm sending out a message to myself So that when I hear it on the radio I will know that I am fine, I will know that I am loved. I made every choice along the way Each day I spent in hell I chose to stay It's funny what you fear can make you weak Truth is what you get when truth is what you speak I'm sending out a message to myself So that when I hear it on the radio I will know that I am fine, I will know that I am loved. So if you are listening I am just passing through You can take some for yourself 'cause it works that way too Sha la la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la la I will know that I am fine, I will know that I am loved. I'm sending out a message to myself So that when I hear it on the radio I will know that I am fine, I will know that I am loved. I'm sending out a message to myself So that when I hear it on the radio I will know that I am fine, I will know that I am loved. |

I think of how you know me,
no doubts no thinking twice. When your smile can be so soothing, a familiar paradise. When there's no one else that makes me whole. I have never needing more I get this feeling I've loved you before We were lovers in an army, marching all for Rome. side by side in battle, did we bravely leave our home? Did I hold you in my arms, as you were taking your last breath? Did shout to all the gods, that I would love you beyond death? I swear I've loved you before. Did we hide in the dark ages, from a vengeful god above? Were our names too unfamiliar, to ever speak of love? Did I cling to every moment with you, in every parting glance? An accidental touch, did we ever take the chance? I know I've loved you before. Have I wandered through the desert? Have I looked and learned all the stars? Have I rode the days and nights on rails, to get back where you are? And every time I foundered, it's your eyes I know for sure. When I think of how you know me, no doubts no thinking twice. When your smile can be so soothing, a familiar paradise. When there's no one else that makes me whole. I never wanting more. I get this feeling. I know I've loved you before. I know I've loved you before I've loved you before |

You can't take a trip
If you don't first say goodbye You can't find a star If you don't look up in the sky You can't find a light If you don't know where the dark ends And you can't change the heroes and friends You can't light a spark If you don't first carry a flame You can't take the weight Of a single ounce of shame You can't change the signal Just the message that it sends The message of the heroes and friends You can't touch the screen You can take the place of love You can disappear in ether When pushes come to shove And you can walk the night Into the dawn And back again Looking for the heroes and friends You can ride the back roads Of the hometowns of the world You can collide on sidewalks In a neon light of blur You can rush the stages And believe the words again Looking for the heroes and friends You can dedicate your life To breaking down the walls To ringing the alarm Screaming down the halls You can stand in judgment Of the meaning in the air Then we are all just heroes and friends Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Looking for the heroes and friends Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-ho Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Why do we sacrifice our lives? To what is left when it all ends When all we want is heroes and friends |

A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven
Held up a sign that says "God hates America" A child has been lost A mother is shocked and is grieving And turning away, turning away He said there is a love that is so hideous and destructive We must drive it from Earth to save all of our children He must know it well In the night it's the hell that he speaks of It keeps him awake, keeps him awake My God is love My God is peace My God loves you My God loves me A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven Prayed in the dark, "Death to the infidel" He strapped all his desperate pain and his faith to his body And blew them away, blew them away A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven Shouts on the news, "They are the godless ones" The anger inside and the fear that it hides never leave her When the cameras are gone, when the cameras move on Oh, people, c'mon? tell me where is your Kingdom of Heaven? Where is your faith? Where do you put your fear? Do you have a price for truth and a price for believing? And heaven is here, heaven is here My God is love My God is peace My God is you And my God is me |

How come there's so many people willing to suffer
So they get up and suffer every day They think they were put on this Earth to suffer And, by God, they're going to suffer Until they suffer their lives away How come so many are willing to say There is no sense There is no plan Yet they will not believe The ancient mysteries Passed down through time into their hands If my choice is despair or wonder On the line between truth and belief Do I just let the tide take me under Or do I let the fascination come on and rain all over me <i>[Chorus:]</i> Open your mind 'Cause you have been blind Imagine the answers Or questions will be all you find Open your mind The grooves in my life were unforgiving Over the years I laid them down night after night Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Suffocating my delight I was dragged into the light Into the stillness Into the white hot flame of my deepest fears And when I came crashing through Humbled and true I was better than I've been in years If my choice is end or beginning In my perception between death and life I'll keep on with this message I'm sending We may not know how or when, But don't you wanna know why <i>[Chorus]</i> Open your mind 'Cause you have been blind Open your mind |

We do our best
We stay in step As time goes marching by But there's something wrong We don't start living Until we almost die <i>[Chorus:]</i> Oh yeah, yeah, yeah And the universe listened Well, I was born A silver thorn On a mid-west rose I found out fast Love is last And it comes and goes I made a deal Hearts to steal They will know my name I'll pay the price Any price Just give me the fame <i>[Chorus]</i> A perfect song My love wrong So I ache the dark A hero's close The story goes on But I hate the part I chose to fall Destroy it all But I will rise again I believe in love Please send me love And I will try again <i>[Chorus x2]</i> Remove the dark Heal my heart Make my body whole I found my angels Found my spirit Guess I found my soul Teach me how Show me now This light has taken me I'm not ashamed Help me explain This awakening <i>[Chorus x2]</i> |

A mother was grieving her loss
Her soldier the ultimate cost She went to the man Who's been told that he's a king Waited outside of his compound To ask him a few things She said "For what noble cause did my son have to die Where are their weapons Why did you have to lie" Imagine that A lieutenant in the army In his heart and his soul he believes In the land of the free and the home of the brave Now he's standing on trial For he will not behave as they wish He said "I believe the constitution To defend it and uphold I will not fight your war for profit No sir I will not go" Imagine that A scientist and his machine The smallest of life he has seen Inside matter inside atoms As far as you can go He saw the strings of life that vibrate With the universal flow He said "I have seen the spirit And all its creation It's in each and every thought And all our intentions" Imagine that |

I believe if I look hard enough
I will see That there can be enough I believe I can think clear enough To conceive A place where there's enough If not now, when If not today then What about tomorrow What happens tomorrow I believe a woman can work hard and succeed And we could be content To believe that she could be in charge Of the free And be the president If not now, when If not today then What happens tomorrow What happens tomorrow If you become the change You want to see you change What happens tomorrow What happens tomorrow I believe that we are waking up from the spell That those that profit from the fear Cast so well And good people of the earth now can tell There is no us and them If not now, when If not today then What happens tomorrow What happens tomorrow All is love All is choice Everyone and every voice All of life that you see All are possibilities As above so below To wed the sense into the soul This is truth I believe I believe I believe Truth is of the people By the people For the people |
