1. BECAUSE WE CAN

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean I am a rock, not just another grain of sand (that's right) I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand, Because we can She's in the kitchen staring out the window So tired of living' life in black and white Right now she's missing those technicolor kisses When he turns down the lights. But lately he’s feeling like a broken promise In the mirror,staring down his doubt There's only one thing in this world that he knows He said forever and he'll never let her down [CHORUS]

T.V. and takeout on the coffee table Paper dishes, pour a glass of wine Turn down the sound and move a little closer And for the moment everything is alright I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean I am a rock, not just another grain of sand (that's right) I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand, Because we can Our love can move a mountain We can, if you believe in we We can, just wrap your arms around me , We can, we can [CHORUS ] x 2 (because we can) Our love can move a mountain We can, if you believe in we We can, just wrap your arms around me, We can, we can Because we can

2. I’M WITH YOU Look at this world it's filled with worn out faces Forgotten places where nothing changes Whatever happened to that new day rising ? We're just surviving when living is dying Aren’t you tired of being let down? Another day , another shakedown I'm with you when hope is gone and all you want is the truth (I'm with you) You carry on when they say it’s no use I'm with youuuuuuuuu Well I got one thing I’ve got something to prove Well all got nothing If there's nothing to lose I'm with youuuuuu I walk in shadows they seem more familiar

I read the paper a life forsaken A vacant storefront I'm one more for sale sign Down on main street you just walk by How many times we got to break down Before somebody's gonna shout out [CHORUS] When hope is gone and all you want is the truth (I'm with you) You carry on when they say it’s no use it’s no use ell I got one thing I’ve got something to prove Well all got nothing If there's nothing to lose I'm with youuuuuu ****************************

3. "WHAT ABOUT NOW"

You wanna start a fire? It only takes a spark You’ve gotta get behind the wheel? If you’re ever gonna drive that car If you wanna take a bite You'd better have the teeth If you're gonna take that step Then get up off from your knees 'Cause tonight, we’re alive Who'll stand for the restless? And the lonely? For the desperate? And the hungry? Time for the count, I'm hearing you now For the faithful, the believer For the faceless and the teacher Stand up and be proud... What about now? You wanna start a fight? You’ve gotta take a swing You’ve gotta get your hands in the dirt To see what the harvest will bring If you wanna raise your voice Don't be scared to breathe Don't be afraid to hurt ?

Don't be ashamed to need ? 'Cause tonight, we’re alive [CHORUS] We live for our reasons that drift through the seasons Still dreams are just pale, dark and grey And all of your plans that slip right through your hands Are the dreams that you take to your grave Tooooonight, we're alive [CHORUS] What about now? What about now? What about now? What about now? *****************************

4. PICTURES OF YOU

I feel just like Picasso And you're my master piece I’ve painted you a lifetime Now what's left are memories, ohh Sunlight through the curtains and diamonds in the trees I gave you colors blue and gold as you lay upon the sheets Something so familiar Drawn from this blank page Every line from my hand Takes me back to what I can't erase No matter how I try, No matter what I do I'm still .. painting pictures of you. I can almost smell your perfume In each brush stroke of the flowers I left you tea from China Waiting in your sacred shower

Something so familiar Drawn from this blank page Every line from my hand Takes me back to what I can't erase No matter how I try, No matter what I do I'm still .. painting pictures of you. If I should go crazy, if I would go blind I'd still fill the canvas from the pictures in my mind if that's the only way to make you mine. It was something so familiar Drawn from this blank page Every line from my hand Takes me back to what I can't erase No matter how I try, No matter what I do I'm still painting pictures I'm always painting pictures Still painting pictures of you. *****************************

5. AMEN

Last night I had a dream This dream I had was true I fell through the stars went walking on the moon Burned like a thousand candles in her arms Her skin under my finger tips The honeysuckle of her lips Sweeter than a man deserves to taste Mercy, mercy, what else can I say? But Amen...Amen .. Amen Last night we were born together It was like we'd always been I’ll be with her forever If I don't see her again We poured the wine until our cup ran over Unfolding like some mystery Inside of her like poetry A thousand horses running through my veins Mercy, mercy what else can I say ? But Amen...Amen .. Amen

I laid down in her garden Naked on her floor Windows up those curtains blowing She don't lock the door Amen…….. Amen At the banquet table A beggar at a feast I felt her tongue between my lips And I forgot to breath We stayed there 'til the candles burned the carpet Last night I had a dream This dream I had was true Mercy, mercy, what else can I say ? Mercy, mercy, I’ll kneel down and pray Amen……..Amen Amen……..Amen *****************************

6. THAT’S WHAT THE WATER MADE ME

Baby, baby, baby There’s no use in trying to save me There's devils in heaven There's angels in hell So, blow me one last kiss and Wish me well well Love is like fingerprints They don’t wash away I left mine all over you I'll take the blame Ask me how, ask me what Ask me why, Baby That's what the water made me That's who I am and what I'll be That's what the water That's what the water made me There ain't no doubt about it It makes you, bring you to your knees That's what the water That's what the water made me This world is cracked and crazy Say one of your pretty prayers for me No roses in the garden

No, wish in the well I don't know how, don't know what Don't know why, baby That's what the water made me That's who I am and what I'll be That's what the water That's what the water made me There ain't no doubt about it It makes you, bring you to your knees That's what the water That's what the water made me That's what the water That's what the water Ask me how, ask me what Ask me why Baby baby, baby There's no use in trying to save me There's devils in heaven There's angels in hell [CHORUS] *****************************

7. WHAT'S LEFT OF ME

For thirty old years I was a newspaper man I made my living with a pen and a pad God, I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands Been back from the desert for a year or so I left more in that sand than you’ll ever know Another war was waiting for me when I got back home In the name of the flag some gave their lives I’m still living, yeah, Semper Fi Well that’s my story, what else can I say ? I got a lot to give say can you see I’m still breathing and my heart still beats They took the car but they left the lease Does anybody want , what’s left of me Boarded up the house, they left the keys Foreclosed on my city rolled up these streets, But I ain’t checking out I still got my dreams Does anybody want what’s left of me … Hey hey… Hey hey They call us dirty Harry

We’re a punk rock band, Why they sold C B G S’ , I don’t understand, All that’s left now are the t-shirts and they come from Japan I sold my drums to make ends meet The band broke up we had to eat It’s the same old shit It just happens more these days … Hey Hey [CHORUS] I’m a teacher, I’m a farmer I’m a union man, It’s getting hard to make a living in this heart land We ain’t working in our factories all those jobs went overseas … Hey Hey Does anybody want (x3) what’s left of me I got a lot to give say can you see I’m still breathing an my heart still beats They took the car but they left the lease Does anybody want what’s left of me Does anybody want to buy your rent Take a chance or place a bet I ain’t checking out, I still got my dreams Does anybody want what’s left of me …Hey …Hey .. Does anybody want (x3) what’s left of me ..Hey Hey.. Hey Hey

8. ARMY OF ONE

I'm in this war but got no gun Still standing strong an army of one, So sign me up , I'm a soldier I got a voice that’s all I need A beating heart inside of me I'm an army of one I'm a soldier These eyes hold no disguise We’re fighting for our lives We’re all trying to get back home tonight Never give up , Never give up Never Never give up , Never let up Ever , Never give in You're an army of one Never give up, Never give up Never Never forget where you're from, Never give up You're an army of one

I can’t hurt but I still feel I know that life's a battlefield When the times get tough I'm a soldier And when it's time to face the fight With just my shadow at my side I'm an army of one I'm a soldier Never give up , Never give up Never Never give up , Never let up Ever , Never give in You're an army of one Never give up, Never give up Never Never forget where you're from, Never give up You're an army of one So don’t apologize Defend just being alive We're all trying To get it right tonight [CHORUS] *****************************

9. THICK AS THIEVES

In an empty room, Or a downtown bar Across the universe, there's no place too far Yeah, wherever you are you and me, thick as thieves. Well it ain't always pretty Sometimes it got rough Could have thrown the towel in And thrown our hands up Seems like we've always been And always will be against these. Time, Time won't ever drag us down You, me, us, ain't looking back or turning around It's classic boy meets girl with our backs against the world You and me…. Thick as thieves. In a world without faith You’re what I believe when they’re stacking the deck You're the card up my sleeve In my hour of need, you and me

Yeah .. thick as thieves. Lights are all that’s left behind us now You, me, us, ain't looking back or turning around It's classic boy meets girl with our backs against the world You and me…. Thick as thieves. If I robbed a bank, you wouldn't care You’d come sit on my lap, In the electric chair and when they’d flip the switch We’d just kiss. I know nothing's gonna stop us now You, me, us on the edge and never looking down Oh, what’s a boy to do, it's classic me and you Lucky you, lucky me Thick as thieves. Ohh Ohh Ohh Thick thieves, oh yeah. *****************************

10. BEAUTIFUL WORLD

Every day it's the same when they say that it might be the end In the end when it ends I don't listen to them You wake up go to work go to sleep then you do it, you do it If you're lucky then you do it again Yeah, we walk through a world that we don't understand When I look in your eyes I'm just happy I can Yeah will laugh and will cry and will lose and will win Will get through it and to prove it, yeah will do it again. There's glory in the saddest story.. Look at it, just sticks and bricks Makes you wonder how the pieces fit Where w’re going, where we've been This ain't paradise we're living in It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl Ah, but ain't it a beautiful world. It's a shame when they say that it's been done and said

They keep digging that grave let them bury their heads There's a kid with a dream and a sky full stars, there's another first kiss, in the back of some car. Turn the page and write the story.. [CHORUS] There’re running numbers out of the Spanish grocery and Mary Mary says her rosary Get a ladder, there's a cat up in a tree Ah, the pretzel man’s wearing a Gucci glasses A widow spreads her lover's ashes I’ll hold on to you, hold on to me, Yeah, we’ll do it, we’ll do it if we’re lucky then we’ll do it again Look at it, just sticks and bricks Makes you wonder how the pieces fit Where w’re going, where we've been This ain't paradise we're living in It's a diamond, it's a dirty string of pearls, Ain't it a beautiful world Oh, ain't it a beautiful world (x2)

11. ROOM AT THE END OF THE WORLD

There's a room at the end of the world Where my secrets go to hide There's a room at the end of the world Where I'll wait for you tonight Where the roads all go to end Where lost Valentines get sent Where a rose comes back to life Where young love never dies Where we never say goodbye Don't say no, just give in Close your eyes, there's no sin Don't hold back, just let go Take your time, take it slow It's me and you in a room at the end of the world There's a room at the end of the world Where your memories are safe There's a room at the end of the world Just gotta have some faith Where all prayers go to be heard and the truth will have its turn Take a look into these eyes, there's no place I'd rather be tonight No place I'd rather be tonight

Don't say no, just give in Close your eyes, there's no sin Don't hold back, just let go Take your time, take it slow It's me and you in a room at the end of the world There's no looking back in our room Fade to black There's a room at the end of the world That I hang on to There's a room at the end of the world Where I wait for you, I'll wait for you [CHORUS] Where I wait for you in our room Dreams are coming true in our room It's just me and you in our room. *****************************

12. THE FIGHTER

I should write down these words ‘fore I lose them Or write you a song just to use them Someday you may want to know who I am, Beyond this facade no guitar in my hand No I, am not, a writer These eyes hold no secrets I hide no truths I am all I am, or I was to you The lie and the promise, the great escape artist, The weed in your garden in that place you’re still guarding Where I, am not, a liar I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade I am the fighter, few will remember my name These are hands that can offer protection But hid me from my own reflection I’m the book that ain’t finished, a sink full of dishes, A horse that ain’t winning, that priest that’s still sinning The spark, that starts the fire

I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade I am the fighter, few will remember my name With loneliness next to me, feels its misery, nursing another black eye On the New Jersey turnpike, I’m counting the headlights as cars just like days pass me by I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade I am the fighter, few will remember my name I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade I am the fighter, a fighter’s born but not made I should write down these words before I lose them Or write you a song just to use them. *****************************

13. WITH THESE TWO HANDS

I could roll the dice, And give me a change good reasons I could break the ice And pick up the broken pieces I could wave hello, I could raise a glass I could blow a kiss, I could kick your ass We could take it all apart Or hold it all together With these two hands, I can tear down walls I can build a bridge, I can break my fall With these two hands I can pray or fight, I can hold a torch I can shine a light With these two hands I could strike a match That sets the world on fire Hold the grain of sand Till it turns into a diamond I could plant the seed I could flip that switch Make a sign of peace I could make a fess Or we could make this worse Or we could make it better

With these two hands, I can tear down walls I can build a bridge, I can break my fall With these two hands I can pray or fight, I can hold a torch I can shine a light With these two hands Wipe the tears drops from your eyes We jump until we touch the sky Free to dream and make it true Know there ain't nothing we can't do Know there ain't nothing we can't do With these two hands, I can tear down walls I can build a bridge, I can break my fall With these two hands I can pray or fight, I can hold a torch I can shine a light With these two hands Wipe the tears drops from your eyes We jump until we touch the sky Free to dream and make it true Know there ain't nothing we can't do, know there ain't nothing we can't do. *****************************

14. INTO THE ECHO

When it hurts just to talk And it's too dark to see When my heart's just a home Full of one full of me Stoke at the starlight It’s creeping the weed Tears fill your eyes And you bleed just to feel Some one beside you Some one to crawl/cry to Into the Echo, We share our dreams Into the echo, We throw our hearts Into the echo, We send our love Into the echo, To the echo Into the echo, To hear me back Are you who you are ? What's under that mess Do you pursue for a future Or yearn for the past ? Did somebody sell you some broke fairytale ? Now you’re wet by by the water For a ship that I sail

Into the Echo We share our dreams Into the echo We throw our hearts Into the echo We send our love Into the echo To the echo Into the echo Just hear it back When it hurts just to talk And it's too dark to see You can touch,you can feel Yeah, you just gotta reach Into the Echo We share our dreams Into the echo We throw our hearts Into the echo We send our love Into the echo To the echo Into the echo To hear it back

15. EVERY ROAD LEADS HOME TO YOU

I got your picture on my phone Your voice in my head I'm lying here alone I'm restless in a far away bed The stars are falling down And I'm half the world away I'm just tryina close the distance To feel each breath that you take When the bridges burn and I'm losing my faith And I'm trying to find my way to the truth I go wild, I'm flying, now I'm finally running From everything I thought of you Every road leads home to you Home to you So you got me to believe Made me turn on the dime The writing on the wall, running from me Every song, every rhyme But I don't need a thousand words I need you safe in my arms I'll be standing strong, I'll keep holding on When life tries tearing us apart [CHORUS] No, I ain't regretting just how lost I'm getting

All the red lights I've been blowing through But who to find it better, as I'm counting the hours Every road leads home to you (x2) Home, the road still leads me home to you Sometimes I go to the side, airlocks make me blind The road still leads me home to you When the bridges burn and I'm losing my faith And I'm trying to find my way to the truth I go wild, I'm flying, now I'm finally running From everything I thought of you No, I ain't regretting just how lost I'm getting All the red lights I've been blowing through But who to find it better, as I'm counting the hours Every road leads home to you (x2) Home to you , Home to you Every road leads home to you Home to you Every road leads home to you Home to you

16. THIS IS LOVE, THIS IS LIFE

These days what’s left of me ain’t no Prince Charming And my Cinderella feels like she stayed at the dance too long We ain’t got much but what we got is all that matters We’re pickin’ up the pieces, tryin’ to put ‘em back where they belong Ohh, it’s gonna be alright This is love, this is life When times get tough we’re still worth the fight This is love, this is life The road here’s paved with the brokenhearted We gotta finish what we started Ohhh, better hold on tight This is love, this is life These days it seems like there’s three sides to every story There’s yours, mine, lately there’s the cold hard truth Who cares who’s wrong or right when we turn out the lights? We’ll find forgiveness when we’re in each other’s arms tonight

It ain’t pretty but somehow we always make it through Ohh, it’s gonna be alright This is love, this is life When times get tough we’re still worth the fight This is love, this is life The road here’s paved with the brokenhearted We gotta finish what we started Ohhh, better hold on tight This is love, this is life Ohh, it’s gonna be alright This is love, this is life When times get tough we’re still worth the fight This is love, this is life The road here’s paved with the brokenhearted We gotta finish what we started Ohhh, better hold on tight This is love, this is life This is love, this is life This is love, this is life

17. WALK LIKE A MAN

He said sit down son, we've gotta talk I said "it's my life, I'm gonna do what I want I'm not gonna crawl, I'm gonna walk Walk right out that door" He said "I used to be a lot like you There's nothing you've done that I didn't do" I left and said "Dad I'm bulletproof We've been through this before" I couldn't believe it There was a tear in my old man's eye When I was leaving He tried to say goodbye, he said Stand tall when you stumble Stay pround when you're humbled The lessons you learn Won't be the ones that you plan And every step up that mountain Will be more than worth countin' And when you walk through the valley May you walk like a man And now I've seen a couple miles on a gravel road

Been taught a couple things that I didn't know And yeah, I've even got a kid of my own Starting to sound a lot like me I learned a little thing called sacrifice Givin' up on dreams, lost a couple fights All anybody wants is a better life And something to believe [CHORUS] I couldn't believe it When the tears came to my eyes It isn't easy Standing on the other side I said "Sit down son we gotta talk Hey it's your life, you're gonna do what you want I won't say crawl before you walk" Cause I heard my old man in my mind sayin' [CHORUS] And when you go on without me Walk, like a man Walk on

18. NO APOLIGIES

No Apology (No apology) We will not back down (No apology) We are not afraid (No apology) Not a drop of doubt Let's start this from the happy ending Just another white trash train-track kid Fighting for survival Trying not to do like his daddy did Double down the Devil at three, caught morning No apology, he just knew when to quit Push your luck, say your prayers Make believe you don't care Take a chance Sometimes it's all you need (No apology) No apology (No apology) We will not back down (No apology) We are not afraid (No apology) Not a drop of doubt (No apology) Hand in hand, across this land Our voices shouting out No apologies No apologies

You wanna start a personal revolution Think of living somebody else's life You can lie about retribution But there ain't no fire in your lover's eyes Seems like everybody's Selling you dreams 'round here But no one's buying and it's closing time Light the fuse, make your break There's no time, left to waste Baby just, like freedom, nothin's free [CHORUS] You wanna start a personal revolution What else you gotta do tonight [CHORUS] No apologies (No apology) No apology (No apology) No apology Hand in hand, across this land Our voices shouting out No apologies
