1. FAITH IN THE HEARTLAND

He goes to work in a brand new dawn
With the early morning sunrise
He's got his dream and he's holding on
It's getting harder every day

He loves a girl who speaks her mind
Don't always look at life the same way
Sharing truth that will heal in time

They want to believe something real
Still they're searching
They're keeping the faith in the heartland tonight

Time moves on as the fading town
And they struggle with the changes
The stores have closed, friends have moved away
Now it's hope that sees him through

The kids have gone but they'll see them all
At the Sunday congregation
Sharing dreams truth will heal in time

They want to believe something real
Still they're searching
They're keeping the faith in the heartland tonight
Ooh, it's words that divide them
It's love that defines them
They're keeping the faith in the heartland tonight

In our darkest hour, oh, we look to the sky
With a silent prayer
Believe that God's on our side
In a land where freedom rings
And where eagles fly
Ooh yeah, yeah

They want to believe something real
Still they're searching
They're keeping the faith in the heartland tonight
Yeah, it's words that divide them
It's love that defines them
They're keeping the faith in the heartland tonight

Ooh, I just want to believe it

Give me something to believe in
We all need something to believe in
In the heart tonight

Got faith
Got dreams
Yeah, we're keeping the faith alive


2. THE PLACE IN YOUR HEART

Lost in a feeling
And this distance between us
I start believing
These days we're drifting apart
We're leading separate lives
Separately missing each other
It's time that we face the light
We can't go on pretending this way

I want to get back to the place in your heart
When we knew with a kiss
How we felt from the start
Can we still make it real
As we lie in the dark
Am I still there
In the place in your heart

When was the last time
We were lost in the moment
Seems like we can't find
Oh, the love that we used to share
If I could take you there
Could we surrender together
Somewhere to begin again
Oh, it hurts just to go this way
Yeah

I want to get back to the place in your heart
When we knew with a kiss
How we felt from the start
Can we still make it real
As we lie in the dark
Somewhere there's love
We've come this far
Reach out your hand and I'll find where you are
Am I still there
In the place in your heart

Times that I let you down
You could have just walked away
Yes, I need your forgiveness now
Don't say it's too late, yes

I want to get back to the place in your heart
When we knew with a kiss
How we felt from the start
Can we still make it real
As we lie in the dark
Somewhere there's love
We've come this far
Reach out your hand and I'll find where you are
Am I still there
In the place in your heart

Oh, let me take you there
Save a place for me baby
Save a place in your heart
Aw, let me take you there
Leaving


3. A BETTER LIFE

Morning sunlight on her face
As he wakes her with a kiss
She's been everything he wanted

They were married as high school sweethearts
Never dreamed it'd be like this
Finding nothing for them comes easy

Trying hard just to make a living
Seems life won't give them a break
Well as long as they've got each other
Ooh, they'll find a way

There's a better life
Waiting out there somewhere
They gotta learn to fly
Need to spread their wings to soar
There's a better life
They'll find it together (keep holding on)
She shows him rainbows every time he sees her smile

They've been more than lovers
There's no mountain they can't climb
Can't stop dreaming dreams together

Gotta rise above the crossroads
Beyond the streets they were born
To a place where prayers are answered
And battles are won

There's a better life
Waiting out there somewhere
They gotta learn to fly
Need to spread their wings to soar
There's a better life
They'll find it together
They keep holding on
It only makes them strong
They wanna learn to fly

Gotta arise above the crossroads
Beyond the streets they were born
To a place where prayers are answered
And battles are won

There's a better life
Waiting out there somewhere
They gotta learn to fly
Need to spread their wings to soar
There's a better life
They'll find it together (keep holding on)
She shows him rainbows every time he sees her smile

There's a better life
(Waiting somewhere)
They gotta learn to fly


4. EVERY GENERATION

Kids hanging out on a Saturday night
Waitin' on wheels, wanna go for a ride
Cruisin' 'round town, just feels right
Got to get away

Blasting rock and hip hop, they know
All dressed down with no place to go
A difficult age just takin' it slow
Wait for better days

Can't stop the wild and restless
Still the ritual goes on
Following the footsteps
Where their fathers used to run

Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh, in every generation
Young rebels have their time
Glory days are gonna shine
Ooh, there's a brand new face waiting right behind
Every generation

Fashions go and come back around
And vinyl LPs still got a cool sound
Flash back to retro (retro)
It's all new again
Fighting wars under different names
Losing daughters and sons, we all feel the pain
Through the tears, why don't things ever change
Between now and then

While the radio's still playin'
That familiar sweet love song
We still share the same desire
We all need to belong

Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh in every generation
Young rebels have their time
Glory days are gonna shine
Ooh there's a brand new face waiting right behind
Every generation

Some generations leave us heroes of their day
With magic moments that still take our breaths away
Some will inherit all the politics and blame
And some will leave this world a better place

Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh in every generation
Young rebels have their time
Glory days are gonna shine
Ooh there's a brand new face waiting right behind
Every generation
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Every generation
They keep comin' around
Every generation
Na na na na na
Yeah
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na


5. BUTTERFLY (SHE FLIES ALONE)

She never knew the meaning of the word
Or ever heard or felt of freedom
All she knew was looking out from windows
Streaked with her own tears and her own shadows
Within a cage, tried to escape
The silent rage
Cause no one ever listened
Behind her back, she's both wings tied
She will break free
She will not be denied

And so she
She flies alone
High into the great unknown
And no one there to tell her where to go
So she flies
Sweet butterfly

Counting every second, minutes turn to hours
Seems like years
The wait's eternal
Finally passed the point of all lost hope
She will break free
She will not be denied, oh no

And so she
She flies alone
High into the great unknown
And no one there to tell her where to go
So she flies
Like a butterfly, oh
Yeah

Within a cage
Tried to escape the silent rage
But no one ever listened
Behind her back
She's both wings tied
She will break free
She will not be denied

So she
She flies alone
High into the great unknown
She don't need me to tell her where to go
Sweet little butterfly

So she
She flies alone
Up into the great unknown
She don't need me to tell her where she goes
So she flies

Within a cage
Tried to escape the silent rage
Where no one ever listened
Behind her back
She's both wings tied
She will break free
She will break free
Sweet butterfly


6. BELIVE

Hold on, hold on
To opportunities you thought long gone
Hold on, hold on
To the could-have-beens and should-have-dones

You can lose yourself along the way
Find there's something new in yesterday

Hold onto your faith and your dreams
Look into yourself and believe
In you

Oh, go on, go on
The stars will guide your journey home, yeah
Oh, it won't be long
'Til you see your diamonds in the stone, yeah

'Cause there's still some magic here tonight
If you just step out into the light

Hold onto your faith and your dreams
Look into yourself and believe

I believe in you, believe in me
I believe in you, believe in me
I believe the truth will set you free, yeah
I believe in you, believe in me

I believe in you, believe in me

(Hold on) Hold on, hold on
To your innocence and your beliefs
Mmm, hold on, hold on
Onto who you are and where you've been

I believe in you, believe in me, yeah
I believe in you, believe in me
Oh, I believe the truth will set you free, yeah, yeah
I believe in you, believe in me

Oh I believe in you, believe in me
Oh I believe in you, believe in me
Yeah I believe the truth will set you free
Oh, I believe in you, believe in me
Oh, whoa, oh yeah, oh yeah

I believe in you (I believe in you)
Darlin', believe in me (Darlin', believe in me)
I believe in you (I believe in you)
Darlin', believe in me (Darlin', believe in me)


7. KNOWING THAT YOU LOVE ME

I still see the look in your eyes
The night you walked into my life
And how we danced
And the way that we touched
Let me know you'd be mine
And how your love has set me free
An angel watching over me

You lift me up if I should fall
Showing me love
When I was blind to it all
I face the fire and I stand tall
Knowing that you love me

Shared my dreams, gave me wings to soar
My guiding light through the raging storm
I find my strength to carry on
Knowing that you love me

If I could, I'd go back in time
To be there the day you were born
To hold you close
Or to see your smile
And rock you away in my arms
To stand beside you through the tears
Letting go of all the fears

You lift me up if I should fall
Showing me love when I was blind to it all
I face the fire and I stand tall
Knowing that you love me

Ooh, someone to care
And someone to share
The little things that bring joy
To my life ooh, it scares me
We're so close but in my heart
It's got to know
I can't imagine me in a world without you
(You lift me up)

You lift me up if I should fall
Showing me love when I was blind to it all
I face the fire and I stand tall
Knowing that you love me

Shared my dreams, gave me wings to soar
My guiding light
Through the raging storm
Ooh, I find my strength to carry on
Knowing that you love me

That's all I'll ever need
Is knowing that you love me


8. OUT OF HARM'S WAY

He grew up in some forgotten midwest town
His mama raised him well
Barely getting by, but he'd be okay
As far as he could tell
Oh, the plant in town closed ten years ago
Now an empty ghost ship stands
For the last nine months he's tried to find a job
But there's nothing to be had

So he signs up to fight for Uncle Sam
It's the only choice he's got
To fight a desert war with another land
Only to find peace or not
He's a moving target in a desperate place
Every day is a twist of fate
Oh, his family wonders if he'll make it home
Knowing his faith's his saving grace

Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way

Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way
Keep them all out of harms way
Harms way

Oh, they sent him home to his family
Nursing wounds that no one sees
Certain scents and smells trigger flashback spells
That rewind the tragedy
All these memories hold him prisoner
Cause of the violence he regrets
What was his ticket out is his nightmare now
In a war he can't forget

Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way

Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way
Keep them all out of harms way
Harms way


9. IN SELF-DEFENCE

The situation's got me rattled
I twist and turn late at night
This whole world's up in shambles
Who's the one to make it right

Missing persons lost in action (action)
Forgotten victims of the night (victims of the night)
They're making crime the main attraction (attraction)
They're making everyone uptight
They're all looking for a fight

In this confusion from day to day
Sometimes fear just makes no sense
In this crossfire I see one way
In self defense

You'll take your chances, Mr. Policeman (policeman)
You're like a cat with thirteen lives (cat with thirteen lives)
Your law and order is our lifeline (lifeline)
Through the danger, you'll survive
I do what I need to stay alive

In this confusion from day to day
Sometimes fear just makes no sense
In this crossfire I see one way
In self defense

In self (self) defense
In self (self) defense

In this confusion from day to day
Sometimes fear just makes no sense
In this crossfire I see one way
In self defense


10. BETTER TOGETHER

Young and wild with a madness
I wouldn't listen
I thought I knew just exactly
The way life would be, you see
You came along and you showed me
Just what I was missing
You opened my eyes with your sweet love
Oh, then I could see

They said it wouldn't last
We proved them wrong
We learned to fly above the storm
Cause we've always known that we belong
And we're better together
If we got our backs against the wall
Somehow we survive through it all
Knowing I'll be there if you should fall
Oh, we're better together, all right, yeah yeah

Running alone, I was searching
While you were there waiting
Lessons in love I was learning
Were all right with me, you see
You changed my world and you gave me
Aw, the kiss you were saving
Ooh, we had each other to fight for
Ooh, when no one believed

They said it wouldn't last
We proved them wrong
We learned to fly above the storm
Cause we've always known that we belong
And we're better together
If we got our backs against the wall
Somehow we survive through it all
Knowing I'll be there if you should fall
Yeah, we're better together

Ooh it gets so lonely out there
Oh, playing my solitaire

Oh, Mustang
All right
Wait a minute
Young and wild with a madness
This time I listened, baby
You opened my eyes with your sweet love
Ooh, yeah, you set me free

They said it wouldn't last
We proved them wrong
We learned to fly above the storm
Cause we've always known where we belong
Yeah we're better together
Oh, if we got our backs against the wall
Somehow we survive through it all
Knowing I'll be there if you should fall
Oh we're better together
So much better, girl, we're better together
Better together, all right
Listen
Let's get together, let's get together, all right
Let's get together, well
Let's get together, let's get together right now
It's just, it's just better that way


11. GONE CRAZY

She fell out of bed and said, I'm leavin' this place
In a hot blooded, red-headed rage
She grabbed her things and slammed out that door
Jumped in the car, said, don't need you no more

She turned on the radio I said, hey, hey babe
Why do you have to treat me this way
She's wrapped up and wound herself way too tight
I think she's finally come loose this time

She's not the same, I can't explain
She's gone away, I don't mean maybe
She's not the same, my burnin' flame
She's gone
She's gone crazy

She's drivin' me crazy

Well I rode down the highway, so she pulled off
Way past the point of gettin' lost
She calls me up on my mobile phone
I said, hey, hey babe
You're in the twilight zone

Call it blind luck but she found a way
Back to the scene where it all took place
And when she walked through that door it's all I could say
Hey, hey babe it's me that's changed

She's not the same, I can't explain
She's gone away, I don't mean maybe
She's not the same, my burnin' flame
She's gone
She's gone crazy

Come on, get out of here
You're drivin' me crazy

I'm not the same, I can't explain
I'm goin' away, I don't mean maybe
I'm not the same
It's me that's changed
She's gone
She's gone crazy

She's gone away, no time to play
She's in the wings
No time to please
Come on, get out of here
She's drivin' me crazy

Go on, get out
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye


12. BEYOND THE CLOUDS

So long ago, has it been that long
Since we felt the sun
Where has it gone to
Has it hid from the world
Have we lost our way

I can remember it filling the sky
And it'd warm my face
The summers were endless
But they're over now
That was yesterday

I know we'll find love again
If we all pray a little
The heart will break free

Beyond the clouds
That's where my soul waits
She's waiting now
Beyond the clouds

Sorrow seems endless
Now there's only so much
That a man can bear
Hold on so tender
To a glimmer of faith
Gets me half way there
I know it will shine again
With some prayer and some patience
We'll find our way home

Beyond the clouds
That's where my soul waits
She's waiting now
Just beyond

Beyond anything you've ever known
Oh, so beautiful
Like a summer sky
Oh, you know it won't be long
If we find the strength I know
There beyond the clouds
We'll find the sun

Beyond the clouds
That's where my soul waits, oh yeah
She's waiting now
Beyond

Beyond the clouds
That's where my love waits
She's waiting now
Beyond the clouds

Yeah, that's it now, ooh
Oh, that's it now, baby, ooh
Beyond everything you've ever known
Oh, if I could find the strength, I know
We'll find the sun


13. IT"S NEVER TOO LATE

(Cain, Schon, Blades)

Her head is filled with doubt
Search her heart for faith that can't be found
He's running desperate now
All that he's become is just not working anymore
He's needing something more

Someone that he used to be
Part of her is a mystery
Spinning around in an empty place
Lie to themselves till they're blind with rage

It's never too late to feel the world come crashing down
It's never too late
It's darkest just before the dawn
They can rise above it all to see there's life beyond the pain
Never thought they'd fall this far
You know it's never too late to change

So much to understand
So much to feel and finally now you can
They'll see a different day all because they faced themselves
And now I hear them say they're gonna be okay

She found who she used to be and now there is no mystery
Open his eyes in a brand new place
A different soul in a different place

It's never too late to feel the world come crashing down
It's never too late
It's darkest just before the dawn
They can rise above it all to see there's life beyond the pain
Never thought they'd fall this far

Love is waiting, love is patient, love is kind
Love is falling into places in their minds
They love enough to know the difference
The dream they had today, don't throw it all away

It's never too late to feel the world come crashing down
It's never too late
It's darkest just before the dawn
They can rise above it all to see there's life beyond the pain
Never thought they'd fall this far
You know it's never too late to change

To rise above it all, never question, never fall
There is no mystery they are who they used to be
They're in a brand new place,
A different soul and a different face
The dreams they had today, don't throw it all away
