["Dedicated to those who stand up for what's right when the rest of the
world sits down."]

Take a look around and tell me what can you see
I guess it all depends on exactly what you want it to be
Is your cup half-full? Is your cup half-empty?
How can you get what you need in the land of plenty?

Everybody gets carried away, everybody's trying everyday to remind you
Ooo, leave it behind you
What's it take to see? What's it take to believe right from wrong?
Never knowing where you belong

Walk on, walk on

(Solo)

Sometimes I feel like I'm just doing time
Everybody wonders where you're going when you step out of line
Don't know all the answers, someone's got to stand up and say "Hey!"
If you want to win the game then you know you're gonna have to play

Everybody's got to find a way, and everybody's trying everyday to remind you
What's standing behind you?
What's it take to see? What's it take to believe right from wrong?
Never knowing where you belong

Walk on, yeah, walk on
Walk on, yeah, there's no turning back
Walk on, get your train on the track

(Solo)

Don't look back ? a new day is breakin'
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is callin' ? today is the day

I can see it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'

It's a bright horizon and I'm awakin' now
Oh I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shinin'? the clouds are breakin'
'Cause I can't lose now ? there's no game to play

I can tell there's no more time left to criticize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everything in my life was leading me on
But I can be strong

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Far away and left behind

Can't help this feeling
Can't help this feeling
I can't believe it's open for discussion
We've said our goodbyes
I've been a fool not to see the repercussions
You've had in my life
I'm at the point of no return
I've finally crossed the line
Don't want to stop and watch the bridges burn
'Cause I can't stand to see you stay behind

I need your love
I want you every way
I need your love
Can't help this feeling coming back everyday

I stayed around hoping you'd discover
How much there was to lose
I spelled it out, I led you to the water
But you're too blind to choose
I gave it everything and more to make it
I've waited for so long
I saw the chance to run and had to take it
But something's missing and I know it's wrong

I need your love
I want you every way
And I need your love
Can't help this feeling coming back everyday

I've passed the point of no return
And all the tears have dried
Don't want to stop and watch the bridges burn
'Cause I keep wishing I was on your side

I need your love
I want you every way
And I need your love
Can't help this feeling

I need your love
I want you every way
I need your love
Can't help this feeling coming back everyday

["Self-explanatory."]

I know it never came easy, girl, you drive me out of my mind
You're fine and still kind of sleazy, now I want to make you mine

Somehow, I don't believe you, I really need you now

You know you're so good at teasing, maybe that's what I like
Sometimes you're hot then you're freezing
Don't want to let you out of my sight

Somehow, I don't believe you, I really need you
I don't believe you and I really need you

*Hey, you never believe what I say, you're gonna surrender someday
Surrender to me, surrender to me, surrender to me all the way
Surrender to me all the way, yeah, yeah, surrender to me

You've got an attitude, a hardheaded woman that I can't refuse
Your love is kind of rude, you love me like you got nothing to lose

Somehow, I don't believe you, I really need you
I don't believe you and I really need you

*Repeat

All the way, all the way, all the way

All the way, surrender to me all the way, yeah yeah
Surrender to me, surrender

Livin' without you never could be so wrong
Don't need to say it, I never waited so long
Thinking about you in everything I do
Love is for giving, you know I'm just livin' for you

And I, I never needed to lie
Can't you see I believe in my heart when I'm saying
It's love that you see, you're just the one for me, I'm praying

Maybe I'm dreaming, don't want to wake up now
Baby, I love you, I always knew it somehow
Happened so easy, don't need to think it through
It's not so amazing, been going so crazy for you

(Solo)

Dreaming and hoping, hoping that dreams come true
You're my religion, girl, I've been living for you
Don't want to fight it, tried everything I know
I won't deny it, you're everywhere I try to go

And I, I never needed to lie
Can't you see I believe in my heart when I'm saying
It's love that you see, you'll be the one for me, I'm praying for you

(Solo)

Knew it so easy, don't have to think it through
Love is for giving, I know I'm just livin' for you
Love is for giving, I know I'm just livin' for you

Well I saw her just as I was leaving, crossing in between the cars
Sometimes seeing just is not believing, like a spaceship coming down from Mars
Oh

Total attraction, you're driving me insane
A chain reaction, baby, tell me what's your name
Baby, what's your name?

Yeah, you know I'm not that underhanded, but I didn't know what else to do
So I told her that the ships had landed
And I told her "I'll take care of you", oh

Whoa, total attraction, you're driving me insane
A chain reaction, baby, tell me what's your name
Baby, what's your name? Come on girl, what's your name?

Oh, look out

(Solo)

Ooh yeah

Well, I know you wouldn't understand it, didn't know what I should say or do
And it wasn't quite the way I planned it, but I had to find a way to you, oh

Whoa, total attraction, you're driving me insane
Whoa, a chain reaction, whoa, baby, tell me what's your name, yeah yeah

Ooh, baby, what's your name? Ooh, baby, baby, what's your name?

I, I know I'm a dreamer
It's easy to see I want to be a believer
And fly right through the air
Now I'm wide awake
I want you to take me there
The things that you told me
I don't know if I was dreaming
And dreams aren't enough
Life is so lonely
I need someone to believe in
Are you in love?
Can't you see that's everything to me
That's enough

Magdalene, let me hear it said so I am sure
Answer me -- can't you see that's all I'm waitin' for?
Here I am on my knees once more
Magdalene

Time must lead you somewhere
I don't want to wait
I know you can take me there

The way that you hold me
I don't know if I was dreaming
And dreams aren't enough
Life is so lonely
I need someone to believe in
Someone to love
Can't you see that's everything to me
That's enough

Magdalene let me hear it said so I am sure
Answer me -- can't you see that's all I'm waiting for?
Here I am on my knees
Oh, I'm begging you please
Magdalene

Magdalene...
Magdalene...
Magdalene...

["From a father to his son. Think positively and we CAN make it"]

I would do anything, anything a man can do
You're my strength and weakness, I give it all for you

I would climb any mountain, how can I make you see?
Though the stars may fall, it will always be you and me

The light in your eyes is all the hope I need
There's so much you can give, your smile is my reason to live

Just take my hand, we'll make a stand, I know that we can make it
Hey, it's you and me, the world will see
I know that we can make it, you and me

(Solo)

I see you, full of sadness, wondering 'bout this world we've made
There's a space between us all, love has seen some better days

Ooh, we can make it, ooh, we can make it

The love in your eyes is all I need to know
I'm never letting go, I'm here for you heart and soul

Just take my hand, we'll make a stand, I know that we can make it
Hey, it's you and me, the world will see, I know that we can make it
I know that we can make it, hey, hey

(Solo)

Just take my hand, we'll make a stand, I know that we can make it
Hey, it's you and me, the world will see, I know that we can make it
I know that we can make it, you and me

I looked out this morning
and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more than a feeling
when I hear that old song
they used to play
I begin dreaming
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
as clear as the sun in the summer sky

It's more than a feeling
when I hear that old song
they used to play
I begin dreaming
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music forget the day
and dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away

She slipped away

It's more than a feeling
when I hear that old song
they used to play
I begin dreaming
'till I see Marianne walk away

Now if you're feelin kinda
low bout the dues
you've been paying Future's
coming much too slow
And you wanna run but
somehow you just keep on stayin
Can't decide on which way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have
my peace of mind

Now you're climbin
to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too
long Can'tcha you see
there'll come a day when
it won't matter
Come a day when you'll be
gone I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People li vin' in competition
All I want is to have
my peace of mind

Take a look ahead
take a look ahead,
yeah yeah yeah yeah

Now everybody's got advice
they just keep on givin'
Doesn't mean too much to me
Lot's of people out to
make believe they're livin'
Can't decide who they should be
I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People li vin' in competition
All I want is to have
my peace of mind

It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin' yeah
And time doesn't wait for me
it keeps on rollin'
Sail on on a distant highway
I've got to keep on chasin' a
dream I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something
I could say

Well I'm takin' my time
I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me
After I've been gone
And I take what I find
I don't want no more It's just
outside of your front door
It's been such a long time
It's been such a long time

Well I get so lonely
when I am without you
But in my mind deep in my mind
I can't forget about you
Good times and faces that
remind me I'm tryin' to forget
your name and leave it
All behind me
You're comin' back to find me

Well I'm takin' my time
I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me
After I've been gone
And I take what I find
I don't want no more It's just
outside of your front door
It's been such a long time
It's been such a long time

It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin'
And time doesn't wait for me
it keeps on rollin'
There's a long road I've
gotta stay in time with
I've got to keep on chasin' that
dream Though I may never find it
I'm always just behind it

Well I'm takin' my time
I'm just movin' on

Well, we were just another band out of Boston
On the road to try to make ends meet
Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street
No, we didn't have much money
We barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play
People came alive.

Rock and roll band
Everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis
We were getting pretty good at the game
People stood in line and didn't seem to mind
You know everybody knew our name
Livin' on rock-n-roll music
Never worry 'bout the things we were missing
When we got up on the stage and got ready to play
Everybody'd listen.

Rock and roll band
Everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

A man came to the stage one night
He smoked a big cigar
Drove a Cadillac car
And said, "Boys, I think this bands outta-sight

When I hear you on the car radio
You're goin' to be a sensation!"

Rock and roll band

Anticipating love and music

Day is night in New York City
Smoke, like water, runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity

Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time Oh yeah


Life is like the coldest winter
People freeze the tears I cry
Words of hail their minds are into

Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time


Gonna hitch a ride
