What you wanna tell me, that you’re water in my stride, yeah, yeah
Oh, it’s getting hard to breathe
Your thoughts are choking me
Hey now, stop right there, I can’t breathe, so Give Me Air

Hey now, stop right there, I can’t breathe, so Give Me Air
Hey now, stop right there, I can’t breathe, so Give Me Air

Would it make a difference if I didn’t want to fight
Would it make a difference if I was black or I was white
Oh, it’s getting hard to breathe
Your thoughts are choking me
Hey now, stop right there, I can’t breathe, so Give Me Air
Hey now, stop right there, I can’t breathe, so Give Me Air
Hey now, stop right there, I can’t breathe, so Give Me Air
Hey now, stop right there, I can’t breathe, so Give Me Air
Give me, give me, give me, give me, woooo hoooo.

Inside Looking Out
Standing in the shadows, thrown to the cold
Looking for the answers, nothin’ to hold
They promised you a kingdom of fortune and fame
If you let ‘em take it, they’re gonna take your dreams away
Looking inside, but I can’t find my way
Inside Looking Out
Inside Looking Out, but I gotta get away
Inside Looking Out
Inside Looking Out

Don't Say That You Love Me
You know you took me, you took me by surprise
There is no communication, oh no
How can I clarify when I look into your eyes
I’m no good at speculation
Used to be, you’d open up your heart to me
Shoot from the hip, but now it’s over, …now it’s over
Don’t Say That You Love Me
Don’t say that you ever cared
I’m walking in my own shadow
I feel I’m in thin air
You try to whisper, you think it’s cushioning the blows
You know it’s cuttin’ like a razor, like a razor
All the time in your mind, hoping I would read the signs
Your using bad news as your savior, as your savior
Used to be, you’d open up your heart to me
Shoot from the hip, but now it’s over, …now it’s over
Don’t Say That You Love Me
Don’t say that you ever cared
I’m walking in my own shadow
I feel I’m in thin air

Caroline
Well I’m feelin’ alright
Well I’m feelin’ fine
Got a pocket full of money
Only time on my side
Oh, feel you got me spinnin’, feel you got me spinnin’ around
Oh, feel you got me spinnin’, feel you got me spinnin’ around, yeah
Met a brown eyed Cajun lady
With her skin so fair and fine
She gonna whisper somethin’ in my ear
Oh, feel you got me spinnin’, feel you got me spinnin’ around
Oh, feel you got me spinnin’, feel you got me spinnin’ around, yeah

I'll Lay Down
Seen a lot of things I don’t understand
Seen a lot of pain caused by the tongue and hand
Voices keep calling I turn away
Heard a lover’s whisper in the darkest nights
Heard a blind man tell me it’s all black and white
Voices keep calling, I turn away
Wait for the day when
I’ll Lay Down, I’ll stop my runnin’
I’ll Lay Down, you know it’s comin’
I’ll Lay Down, lay down now
I’ll Lay Down, surrender to my pain
Made out my time on an empty hand
Throwing my life to the wind
Changing my mind with the shifting sands
Wait for the day when
I’ll Lay Down, I’ll stop my runnin’
I’ll Lay Down, you know it’s comin’
I’ll Lay Down, lay down now
I’ll Lay Down, surrender to my pain
(solo)
I’ll Lay Down, I’ll stop my runnin’
I’ll Lay Down, you know it’s comin’
I’ll Lay Down, lay down now
I’ll Lay Down, surrender to my pain
I’ll Lay Down
Freedom
In this land of opportunity
People have the power to be free
Take all you want, but don’t take none from me, ….no
Followers, they live by rules, I don’t need ‘em
Fight them all, don’t let them take, I scream Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
Prejudice and pain surround my mind
But I could never be the hurting kind
Looking for a shield to hide behind
Followers, they live by rules, I don’t need ‘em
Fight them all, don’t let them take, I scream Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
(solo)
Followers, they live by rules, I don’t need ‘em
Fight them all, don’t let them take, I scream Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
I’m talkin’ ‘bout my Freedom, yeah, yeah
I’m talkin’ ‘bout, I’m talkin’ ‘bout, Freedom
That’s right, Freedom
You and I When I think of all those things you left behind, she would comfort me, yeah
She could ease my worried mind, so my eyes could see
In my dreams at night, it seemed so real, will I know
Can’t go back any more, and hide inside the memories
Cuz I’ve tried
And in my memories she says to me
You and I, we got time on our side
Simple and free, there ain’t no free ride
Heaven and hell, there’s nowhere to hide
You and I, we got time on our side
The past plays tricks on my mind, and I can’t, let it go
And in my dreams at night it seems so real, will I know
I can’t go back any more, and hide inside the memories
Though I’ve tried
So carry on, oh, remember what you taught me
I know why
But in my memories she says to me
You and I, we got time on our side
Simple and free, there ain’t no free ride
Heaven and hell, there ain’t nowhere to hide
You and I, we got time on our side
(guitar solo)
But in my memories she says to me
You and I, we got time on our side
Simple and free, there ain’t no free ride
Heaven and hell, there ain’t nowhere to hide
You and I, we got time on our side
You and I, we got time, we got time, time, time on our side
(outro guitar solo)
Breaking Away
I’m sick of all the tension
It’s tearing me up inside
I’m breaking down the walls
I’m ready for the fall
I’m ready for the ride
Just give ‘em an inch, and they will try to take a mile, they feel it’s justified
And now I’m standing tall, no longer feeling small, My hands no longer tied
Tired of believing, I’m gonna disobey
Tired of believing, I’m living for today
I’m breaking, Breaking Away
If I would buy a question of social inequities
They got ‘em by the balls, their back’s against the wall, it’s time they felt the squeeze
Tired of believing all of the crap they say
Shake up the balance, somebody’s gotta pay
I’m breaking, Breaking Away
It’s time to turn around
The walls are coming down
We gotta stop today, cut loose the anchor, it’s time to break away
(solo)
It’s time to turn around
The walls are coming down
We gotta stop today, cut loose the anchor, it’s time to break away
I’m breaking, Breaking Away, I’m breaking, breaking from your spell
I’m breaking, Breaking Away, I’m gonna break these chains, yeah baby
I’m breaking, Breaking Away, there ain’t no turning back
Take Me Back
Any time you think of me, tell me what you feel
Don’t you keep it all inside now, it only brings you down
Try, try, try a little harder to take them blues away
Cuz if you feel like cryin’, I’ll just be on my way
Oooohhh, yeah
You can tell your brother exactly what you feel
Now I see you standin’ there, dazed and all confused
All the while you’re tellin’ me now to practice what you preach
Oooohhh, yeah
You can tell your brother exactly what you feel
Well, I know sometimes, sometimes it’s getting hard
And I know sometimes you have to get away
Take Me Back, where the sun just keeps on shining
Take Me Back
Take Me Back, gotta keep just movin’ on
Take Me Back
(solo)

Open Fire
Did you ever take a look in the mirror
Did you think that you were a saint
It’s time I said these words to ya
There comes a time for all to change
Livin’ on the edge, walking the fine line
It’s a black and white situation
Just look around among stars
I’m sure someone’s gonna make a stand
To fight for what we all believe, yeah
Livin’ on the edge
Stand back and reload, Open Fire ….. Open Fire, yeah
Stand back and reload, Open Fire ….. Open Fire, yeah
(solo)
Stand back and reload, Open Fire
Stand back, and reload (come on and reload), Open Fire (Open Fire, yeah)
Stand back, and reload (come on and reload), Open Fire (Open Fire)
Stand back, and reload (come on, come on), and reload (and reload) Open Fire

River of Dreams
Destination is really unknown
Thought you knew it, we’ve been there before
Trouble walkin’, it’s all in your mind
Someone’s talkin’, he’s been so blind
Livin’, livin’ dangerously
Too close for comfort, that ain’t for me
Cuz I’m riding down this River of Dreams
Can’t fight the feeling inside of me
Living closely to the edge
Life ain’t certain, a game of chance (that’s right)
Ain’t no man sittin’ down by the bay
We can cross that bridge when we get there, today
Livin’, livin’ dangerously
Too close for comfort, that ain’t for me
Cuz I’m riding down this River of Dreams
Can’t stop the feeling that’s inside of me
(solo) Play it boy
Cuz I’m riding down this River of Dreams
Can’t stop the feeling inside of me
One more
Cuz I’m riding down this River of Dreams |
