It's times like these you learn to live again. It's times like these you give and give again. It's times like these you learn to love again. It's times like these time and time again.

I look up to the sky. and now the World is mine. Ive known it all my life. I made it, I made it!

I'm questioning my education. Is my education who I am now? While you're deciding, I've been finding


6

Looking around in the here and now. If I've been taught from the beginning. Would my fears now by winning?


7

Let's say we take this town. No king or queen of any state. Get up to shut it down. Open the streets and raise the gates.I know a wall to scale. I know a field without a name.. head on without a care Before it's way too late.

Call and I'll answer at home in the lost and found. You say that I'm much too proud. Some-one who's taking pleasure in breaking down.Nevermind the mannequins, drunk in their hol-low town.Drinking their spoils down. cheap imitationsThe revelation is now.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Take these blinded eyes and learn to see. All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise.


10

has someone taken your faith? Its real. the pain you feel. The life. the love. You die to heal. The hope that starts. The broken hearts. You trust, you must Confess. Is someone getting the best. the best. the best, the best of you?


11

Take a good hard look for the very last time. The very last one in a very long line.


12

Only took a second to say goodbye. Then the pleasure 'bout the pleasure's. Been mine, all mine.

15

All I want, is to be home. People I've loved, have no regrets. Some might remember, some might forget. Some of them livin'. some of them dead. All I want, is to be home

All my life I've been searching for some-thing. Something never comes.never leads to nothing. Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close. Closer to the prize at the end of the rope.


16


17

This indecision got me climbing up the wall. Been cheating gravity and waiting on the fall. how did this come over me? I thought I was above it all. Our hopes gone up in smoke, swal-low your crown.


18

If you ready we can save the world. Believe again, start to mend. We don't have to wait for destiny. We should be the change that we want to see.

Kudos, my hero, leavin' all the best You know my hero, the one that's on. There goes my hero Watch him as he goes. There goes my hero

he's ordinary. There goes my hero Watch him as he goes. There goes my hero. he's ordinary.


23

Whatever keeps you warm at night. what-ever keeps you warm at night. .Whatever keeps you warm inside. Your bridges are burning now. They're all coming down. It's all coming round.

Take a high dive in to your brain. Made your only cause. Just might wear your welcome out if you don't' let It go. There's noth-ing that you couldn't say. Cause you Said it all before. Think it's time you walked this lonely road all on Your own. So it's your cold day in the sun.

25

Pleased to meet you take my hand, There is no way back from here, Pleased to meet you say your prayers, There is no way back from here, But I don't care, No way back from here.


26

Well we all want something better than. We wish for some-thing new. Well we all want something beautiful. Wish for something true. Been lookin' for a reason and Something to lose.


27

I'm looking to the sky to save me. Looking for a sign of life. Looking for something help me burn out bright. I'm looking for a complication.


28

Looking 'cause I'm tired of trying. Make my way back home. When I learn to fly high

Tell me where you're going. Tell us where you're headed.I'm on my way to heaven. Mr. Rager, can we tag along Can we take the journey?

Money, get away. Get a good job with good pay and you're okay. Money, it's a gas. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash. New car, caviar, four star daydream Think I'll buy me a football team.

33

And I wonder if you know. What it means, what it means. And I wonder if you know. What it means to find your dreams.


34

I heard your voice through a photograph. I thought it up it brought up the past. Once you know you can never go back.I've got to take it on the otherside.


35

Do you remember the days? We built these paper mountainsThen sat and watched them burn.


36

I think I found my place. Can't you feel it growing strongerLittle conquerors.


37

Yeah, The nights not over. youre not trying hard enough. Our lives are changing lanes. Ya ran me off the road. The wait is over. Im now taking over. Youre no longer laughing. Im not driving fast enough.

The higher you reach. The further the sky. The more miles you walk. The longer the road. The steeper you climb. The harder you stand to fall. The stronger you get. The heavier the load.,
