FIND MYSELF AGAIN
Thank you for calling out my name when I am lost
These walls I've built around myself reveal their cost
I may be safe but now I can't find my way out
Without interaction I don't know what I'm about
Do you miss me, baby
'Cause I sure miss me
I'm still tryin' to find my way back to the start
When my eyes were open
And my mind still free
And a fire was always burning in my heart
I wanna find myself again
Thanks for reminding me that there are different ways
That I don't have to keep repeating previous days
Stuck in a rut and now I can't find my way out
With only one direction I don't know what life's about
Do you miss me, baby
'Cause I sure miss me
I'm still tryin' to find my way back to the start
When my eyes were open
And my mind still free
And a fire was always burning in my heart
I wanna find myself again
I wanna find myself again
I will find myself again
I wanna find myself again
I will find myself again
I wanna find myself again

Going for Gold

GOING FOR GOLD
People don't hold the door
open for each other anymore
Everyone wants to have a say
all the listeners have gone away
We all want a piece of the pie
but we won't give sharing a try
We ask for the attention of others
When they take up our time we are quickly bothered
There's nothing wrong with going for gold
But if you keep it too close to your heart
your heart will turn cold
Sometimes people shut the door
when they think there's no room anymore
and they've heard other people say
those on the outside will take their things away
There's only so many pieces in a pie
and there is a limit to what we can try
and to what we can give to others
When they need more we don't wanna be bothered
There's nothing wrong with going for gold
But if you keep it too close to your heart
your heart will turn cold
I was blinded by the shine of the gold
Kept it close to my heart, and my heart turned cold
I had knocked over everyone that stood in my way
So there was no one left to share it with at the end of the day
There's nothing wrong with going for gold
But if you keep it too close to your heart
your heart will turn cold

MEET ME ON THE BRIDGE
I don't know
all you know
I can't feel
what you feel
I don't know
your lows and highs
I can't see
through your eyes
So I won't be
the judge of you
or tell you what to do
We swim in the same river for as long
as the current doesn't get too strong
If we should climb onto different banks
we should search for ways to close ranks
Meet me on the bridge
You don't know
all I know
You can't feel
what I feel
You don't know
my lows and highs
You can't see
through my eyes
So you won't be
the judge of me
or tell me what to be
We swim in the same river for as long
as the current doesn't get too strong
If we should climb onto different banks
we should search for ways to close ranks
Meet me on the bridge
Meet me on the bridge

HOLLOW
Why would I tell you the truth
if I could sell you a lie
It's not that I want you to fall
but I wanna fly
My silver tongue makes you see
that I can turn rust into gold
And I will help you grab more
of the air that you hold
I will guide you
So you will follow
I will fill you
You'll still feel hollow
Why would I show you the key
when you're unaware of your cage
I wouldn't want you to feel
betrayed and enraged
My rich words make you see
that your own judgment is poor
I'll fill your head with the rules
you should live by and for
I will guide you
So you will follow
I will fill you
You'll still feel hollow

DRIVIN'
Been drivin' for hours and not stoppin' yet
Destination unsure but there's somethin' leadin' to every next road
Can't remember what it was I tried to forget
The sun sets and my mind's set on careless mode
These wheels keep goin' on and on
If you can't keep up I'll be gone
This road I'm riding has an end
But in the end every road has turns
There's a new view behind every bend
Will I see the place for which my heart burns?
The stars are now visible, couldn't tell you for how long
I got kinda hungry and found a store that was open all night
I thought the craving was for food but I was wrong
Whoever said “everybody's got a hungry heart” was right
These wheels keep goin' on and on
If you can't keep up I'll be gone
This road I'm riding has an end
But in the end every road has turns
There's a new view behind every bend
Will I see the place for which my heart yearns?
Start to find a final stop
This road I'm riding has an end
But in the end every road has turns
There's a new view behind every bend
Will I see the place for which my heart burns?
It yearns
It burns

THE FALL
I don't know anybody who was waiting for it
but the fall is here again
Leaves are falling to the ground
Everybody leaves them there
except for this little kid
who picks them up and I can see her wondering
Her daddy sees me smilin' and he picks her up
With a look in his eyes that we've all had before
We see bad intentions everywhere
Distrust is the only thing we share
So no one will see our good intent
Mistrust misinterprets what we really meant
Some folks long for it and there are some who dread it
But the night has fallen again
The window shades are all closed
in this shady street where two tense voices
are closing in on me
I cannot understand what they are cryin' out
I start to run and cry for help, but when I look back
I realize our cries are the same
We see bad intentions everywhere
Distrust is the only thing we share
So no one will see our good intent
Mistrust misinterprets what we really meant
I wonder how did this suspicion come about
Did we once give one another the benefit of the doubt
And can we get those days back again
What does it take to restore man's faith in man
We see bad intentions everywhere
Distrust is the only thing we share
So no one will see our good intent
Mistrust misinterprets what we really meant

Go Downtown

GO DOWNTOWN
A nice little house on the quiet side of town
On tv is a centre city riot, on the couch is a frown
They shouldn't be complaining, 'cause neither does he
The sideline ain't satisfying, but they should let things be
Go downtown, go downtown man
Open up your doors, take your life into your hands
Go downtown, go downtown man
Step over your doorstep, walk into unknown land
Seein' is believin', so the truth's on the screen
All that's worth showin' is all that is seen
He would tell those poor souls to set different goals
But he's just never been where the camera rolls
Go downtown, go downtown man
Open up your doors, take another look at your plan
Go downtown, go downtown man
Step over your doorstep, take a trip into unknown land
I can't complain about my life,
but I can't get over-excited
It's about accepting the chances you get
Do you think we'll get invited
by the forces of control
to pave the way to our own goals
He can always do it better, but he never does
He could have been so many things, but just never was
The quiet little house ain't as nice as it seemed
But it's never too late to search for the life that he dreamed
Go downtown, go downtown man
Open up your doors, take your life into your hands
Go downtown, go downtown man
Step over your doorstep, take your own stand

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT
Finally this time has come again
I thought that it would never end
All this time I have been feelin' down
I don't feel at home in this town
Sometimes I think solutions
they are out of my range
But if I want a different life
it's me who's gotta make a change
And tonight's the night for dancin'
and I choose my own pace
I decide who I'm rockin' with
and I appoint the place
And tonight's the night to fight
for my right to fight
for what I believe in
and for what I think is right
Now I'm reconsiderin' goin' back again
Or is it the time to make it end
How long can I bear bein' down
What have I got to lose when I leave town
Sometimes I think solutions
they are out of my range
But if I want a different life
it's me who's gotta change
And tonight's the night for dancin'
and I choose my own pace
I decide who I'm rockin' with
and I appoint the place
And tonight's the night to fight
for my right to fight
for what I believe in
and for what I think is right
And tonight's the night for dancin'
and I choose my own pace
I decide who I'm rockin' with
and I appoint the place
And tonight's the night to fight
for my right to fight
for what I believe in
and for what I think is right
And tonight's the night for dancin'
and you choose your own pace
You decide who you're rockin' with
and you appoint the place
And tonight's the night to fight
for your right to fight
for what you believe in
and for what you think is right

MR. SUIT-AND-TIE
Mr. Suit-and-Tie, does your suit tie you to the ones
who know what's best for all and who know what everyone wants
Do you remember when you wore the clothes you chose
and the arrogance of governance was what you opposed
Mr. Suit-and-Tie
When did you stop asking why
Why did you stop asking when
politicians would listen to citizens again
Once you walked the street with your heart on your sleeve
next to the pamphlets with principles you swore you would never leave
Now you're behind your desk and do as you're supposed
and after the election you raise the first toast
Mr. Suit-and-Tie
When did you stop asking why
Why did you stop asking when
politicians would choose conviction over victory again
But I can't blame you for the choices that you make
I hope at night it doesn't keep your mind awake
You once had a vision and great ideals
but they don't pay your children's meals
I used to have a dream to do what I loved most
but a safer way for pay was what I chose
Instead of scratching at your conscience, I'll pick mine
revive my own plans and keep walking my own line
Mr. Suit and I
When did we stop asking why
Why did we stop asking when
we all could follow dreams again
Mr. Suit and I
When did we stop asking why
Why did we stop asking when
we all could be self-controlling men

Girl, Your Eyes

GIRL, YOUR EYES
Girl, your eyes can still accelerate my heartbeat
Your smile still brings joy to my mind
Holding you makes me feel richer than I could ever be
Hoping you will never leave me behind
I was never bothered by the ways that we differ
and always thought we could complement each other
I was convinced we'd be together forever
and there would never be another
But you proved me wrong
and my heart broke
Seeing the life I had imagined
goin' up in smoke
Did you know that scorn and love
can co-exist in a man
I was convinced that we were through
Thank God you proved me wrong again
There was a time I took our love for granted
and thought everything would work out just fine
Now I know it's something you gotta keep workin' on
and I'm willing and able to labor to keep you mine
Let me prove to you
I'm still your man
Let's support and shape each other
the best way that we can
Let's share the great times
but also the bad
The things we love but also
the things that drive us mad
Tried to keep you happy by only sharing my joys
and wanted to give you anything that you desire
Now I know ignoring troubles won't make 'em disappear
and a self-effacing man is not a man that you admire
Teach me to open up
and open up your own mind
I will leave every mask
if you'll leave what you think you know behind
Bring on the challenges
We'll face them all
Let's jump hordes together
and catch each other when we fall
Baby, your eyes can still accelerate my heartbeat
Your smile still brings joy to my mind
Holding you makes me feel richer than I could ever be
Hoping you will never leave me behind

IN THE LONG RUN
I played the game by all the rules
The other player wasn't fair
So the best man didn't win
I lost everything right there
You may choose to never shoot
but if you're being challenged
it's not always easy
to keep sticking to your guns
There are times you don't reap what you sow
and so you wonder
if you'll reap the fruits of doing good
in the long run
Things were looking good for my new store
but a rumor spread around town
I ignored it and minded my own business
Now I'm forced to close the store down
You may choose to never shoot, but if you're being challenged
it's not always easy to keep sticking to your guns
There are times you don't reap what you sow and so you wonder
if you'll reap the fruits of doing good in the long run
Nothing is certain but death and taxes
While I'm living I'll pay what I should
I'm not sure if that goes for my neighbor
but I know his brand new car is looking good
You may choose to never shoot, but if you're being challenged
it's not always easy to keep sticking to your guns
There are times you don't reap what you sow and so you wonder
if you'll reap the fruits of doing good
You may choose to never shoot, but if you're being challenged
it's not always easy to keep sticking to your guns
There are times you don't reap what you sow and so you wonder
if you'll reap the fruits of doing good
in the long run

OPEN FOR YOU
I’ve swept away the cobwebs and the dust
I’ve cut the branches from the windows too
I’ve thrown away the worn-outs and the rust
I’ve opened up the door for you
Come on and take a look inside
Go on and see just how I live
Don’t wanna have a thing to hide
I wanna have something to give
Come on and take a look inside
Go on and see just how I live
Don’t wanna have a thing to hide
I wanna have something to give
The door is open for you
Have you ever read the books on my shelves too?
Have you ever heard the songs in my record case?
Do you enjoy the view as I do?
Do you like what I’m doing with the place?
Come on and take a look inside
Go on and see just how I live
Don’t wanna have a thing to hide
I wanna have something to give
The door is open for you
The door is open for you
Come on and take a look inside
Go on and see just how I live
Don’t wanna have a thing to hide
I wanna have something to give
Come on and take a look inside
Go on and see just how I live
Don’t wanna have a thing to hide
I wanna have something to give
The door is open for you
The door is open for you
The door is open for you
The door is open for you

BELIEVE IN ME
Do you think that I care if you don't believe in me?
Well I do!
I don't follow the easy path
and I don't wanna lead
Never went for the quick succes
though succeeding is something I need
Just like everyone else
I wanna be appreciated
But if the trend don't make sense
I would rather be outdated
I know the ways of the herd
but I won't let it be a distraction
in my quest for the best road;
my own way to make a connection
Do you think that I care if you don't believe in me?
And don't you think I'm concerned with what you think of me?
Do you think that I care if you don't believe in me?
Well I do!
When I'm pouring my heart out
and I'm not getting through
Is it 'cause you're not listenin'
or do I fail to explain it to you?
If you knock on my door we can talk
but I'll only let a few in
If I can't even make myself clear to them
I feel unable to win
Do you think that I care if you don't believe in me?
And don't you think I'm concerned with what you think of me?
Do you think that I care if you don't believe in me?
Believe in me
Believe in me
Believe in me
Do you think that I care if you don't believe in me?
And don't you think I'm concerned with what you think of me?
Do you think that I care if you don't believe in me?
Believe in me
Believe in me
Believe in me
