“Amazing Places”
Blood, in me –
Pumps life, through me –

By my side, holding hands
World gates, greet me
Born again, world free –

Sky and the desert are leading me through (as the)
Water-rushed mountains soak me into you (and the)
Ocean is clear and the sky is so blue -
It’s amazing to be here with you.
Love, in me
Sparks hope, in me
I wanna be, in you
So take my hand, lead me through
World gates, greet we
Traveling, world free –

Sky and the desert are leading me through (as the)
Water-rushed mountains soak me into you (and the)
Ocean is clear and the sky is so blue -
It’s amazing to be here with you.

“Hope and Sunlight”
I’m on a road that matters more than life itself
I climb the hillside, I look out the world is tough (but)
Inside, I fight – (cause)
My name is hope
My name is hope
And sunlight.
(I can see you, in your hospital gown)
(I know you’re afraid, don’t be, I’m always around)
I walk the deserts, my mouth is cold and wet
I push the mountains, my hands are soft, no sweat (cause)
Inside, I fight – (cause)
My name is hope
My name is hope
And sunlight.
(I can see you, next to your window resigned)
(My love’s with you, don’t be afraid look outside)
You’re on a road that matters, more than life itself
(guitar solo / instrumental)
(I can see you, next to your window resigned)
(My love’s with you, don’t be afraid look outside)
Hope and Sunlight!
Sun-light!
Sun-light!
Sun-light!
Sun-light! (I can see you, in your hospital gown)
Sun-light! (I know you’re afraid, don’t be, I’m always around)
Sun-light! (I can see you, next to your window resigned)
Sun-light! (My love’s with you, don’t be afraid, look outside)
Hope and sunlight.

“What it feels like to be free”
Driving down the coast of Mexico ~
Love your palm trees, roll down my window
Tasting the sea and the sky above! (I know it’s. . .
Where I live (it’s)
Where I shine (cause)
Part of me, is Mexico
When I go back
To U-S-A
I’ll bring home, the love I made.
Strollin’ down the streets of Guerriro
Lovin’ all my people in your pueblos
Tasting the sea and the sky above! (I know it’s. . .)
Where I live (it’s)
Where I shine (cause)
Part of me, is Mexico
When I go back
To U-S-A
I’ll bring home, the love I made.
Came here to find myself
Now I define myself
The window inside myself
The strength inside myself
(instrumental / guitar solo)
Because it’s –
Where I live (it’s)
Where I shine (cause)
Part of me, is Mexico
When I go back
To U-S-A
I’ll bring home, the love I made.
It’s -
Where I live (it’s)
Where I shine (cause)
Part of me, is Mexico
When I go back
To U-S-A
I’ll bring home, the change I made.

the dead shall live, the living die, and music shall untune the sky)
King Solmun will die, on the fourth day of the new sunrise, people will rise!
People will:

One, marching in love, beating our drum.
King Solmun must die, on the 4th day past the eastern sky, I will rise!
I will:

The King at our feet (it’s off with his head)
Cut off in defeat (we’ve risen as)
One, a new day has come, a new day has come.
********************************************************
“Burn”
I burn for you
I burn for you
I run for you
I run for you
So why can’t you, let go?
Go and pick, up your phone (call me up)
But I guess, it’s the price I pay
For loving you, this way –
No matter how cold you stay
If my love is real, you’ll burn one day.
I rise for you
I rise for you
I’ll die for you
I’ll die for you
So why can’t you, let go?
Take me inside, your home (take me home)
But I guess, it’s the price I pay
For loving you, this way –
No matter how cold you stay
If my love is real, you’ll burn one day.
(instrumental / mid-sect)
Oh oh, it’s you
Oh oh, it’s you
Whoa, whoa, it’s you
Whoa, whoa, it’s you
So why can’t you, let go?
Watch me take, off your clothes (take em’ off)
But I guess, that’s the price I pay
For loving you, this way –
No matter how cold you stay
If my love is real, you’ll burn one ->
Now I know, it’s the price I pay
For loving you, this way
No matter how cold you stay
If my love is real, you’ll burn one day.

“End the day”
End the day alone
Sunshine in my home
Remembering a time. . . . . when we were in love.
(guitar instrumental / upbeat)
Feel the day conclude
Feel my heart in you
It’s OK, it fine. . . . . my heart is golden wine.
(guitar instrumental / upbeat)
Feel the night in bloom
Cracks on the steps, it’s you –
Come through, come through
Come through, come through
Oh please, come through, come through!!
Oh please, come through, come through!!
La, la, la, it’s you –
I still, I love, your every move (so....)
Let’s go outside
Let’s start tonight
Beyond the stars and moon. . . . the moon!!!
(guitar instrumental / upbeat)
Even though we’re through
I end the day with you
Even though we’re through
(I still love you)
********************************************************
“childhood friend”
I looked through the mirror, today
I remember the days we made
I remember the songs we sang
And how much they meant to you
Childhood friend, I knew.
But now that friend is gone, gone away
Because of what you did, she’s not the same
And no matter what I say she will never sing the same
Because of what you did, she’s far away -
From me today.
I drove by your house, today –
I remember the backyard games we played
And how much they meant to you
Childhood friend, I knew.
But now that friend is gone, gone away
Because of what you did, she’s not the same
And no matter what I say she will never sing the same
Because of what you did, she’s far away -
From me today.
(instrumental)
How much she meant to!
How much she meant to!
How much she meant to me!
But now that friend is gone, gone away
Because of what you did, she’s not the same
And no matter what I say she will never sing the same
Because of what you did, she’s far –
Because of what you did, she’s far -
Because of what you did, she’s far away -
From me today.
********************************************************
“Goodnight Love”
Feel of your hand
Taste of your skin
All I know
I’ll be with you tonight
And all I want –
Is just your piece of mind.
We got:
War on our hands
Blood on the TV screens
People, fighting
Lines, drawing
Man, and I don’t understand, the purpose of this great land
Waiving our nation’s flag, in the pale sunlight
But tonight
I feel alive
And I am willing to stand with you, for something so much bigger than tonight –
tonight –
I want my country back
I need my country back
For every single soldier who will never get to see another night
Like tonight
One me and you
Love carries us through
All I know –
These are just some harder times
All we want –
Is just a simple life.
But we got:
War on our hands
Blood on the TV screens
People, stop fighting
Lines, stop drawing
Man, cause I don’t understand, the progress of this great land
Waving star-spangled flags, in the pale sunlight
But tonight
I feel alive
And I am willing to stand with you, for something so much bigger than tonight –
tonight –
I want my country back
I need my country back
tonight -
tonight –
Let’s take our country back
Let’s take this country back
tonight -
tonight –
Let’s use our energy
Let’s use this energy
tonight -
tonight –
Let’s take our country back
Let’s take this country back
For every single mother who will never get to see their son or daughter with
each other, rise together, rise together, rise together, RISE!

“When I’m gone”
(angry love)
(chic-a-pasa, mi-la mal) // spanish translation
Hunting for a woman, with eyes like ocean skies –
Arrive, arrive, alive –
And when I find her, I thought –
That she’s make me feel allright

But I’m in love, and with you I will stay, angry love
(singin) When I’m gone (she don’t like me)
(and) When I’m home (she just fights me)
But she’s in love, and with me she will stay, angry love
(chic-a-pasa, mi-la mal)
Blinded, by heartache
Poisoned, by sea snakes
Only your love, can wash these things away - (create a wave) -
So be mine, be mine, as I reach high, she makes life feel allright
(but) When I’m gone (she don’t like me)
(and) When I’m home (she just fights me)
But I’m in love, and with you I will stay, angry love

“Alone, darkness, and light”
Walking, through the darkness, alone
Searching for a brightness, called home
And I feel sometime that people don’t understand me
And I feel sometime that people don’t understand me
And that fine with me
That right
Cause I -
Am not afraid to walk that line
On a dark, but bright
Fourth of July
People out -
But I walk by
Take pride, my head hangs high
Tonight, tonight
Darkness has a light
It shines on me tonight
The streets are packed like mice
As I look off a rooftop, so so high
And I feel sometime this city don’t understand me
And I feel sometime this town don’t understand me
And that fine with me
That right
Cause I -
Am not afraid to walk that line
On a dark, but bright
Fourth of July
People out -
But I walk by
Take pride, my head hangs high
Tonight, tonight
Darkness has a light
It shines on me tonight
(3rd verse / bass instrumental)
And I feel sometime the world don’t understand me
And I feel sometime the world don’t understand me
(heavy, full band)
And I feel sometime the world don’t understand me
And I feel sometime the world don’t understand me
And that’s fine with me
That’s fine
Cause I -
Am not afraid to walk that line
On a dark, but bright
Fourth of July
People out -
But I walk by
Take pride, my head hangs high
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Darkness has a light
It shines on me tonight
It shines on me tonight
It shines on me tonight.
